Chapter Ten: Time Disturbia
No one spoke in that house; everyone's voice retreated when Rogue revealed the duo's secret of being from the future. Shira glanced at Fang before her eyes fell to the ground, and Rogue held a victorious glint in his childish, innocent eyes. The door opened and Soren stepped in with a couple bags of groceries but he blinked at the sudden stillness and silence of the house.
"Okay, what's going on?"
Angel was scared. She remembered that the Angel of Death told her to never be discovered in the past otherwise the future would be changed, that her powers would leave her. She was panicking and it was obvious as her blue wings twitched and shook as she thought of what would happen to not only her but to Fang and the future... would there even be a future??
She was expecting to hear Shira tell Soren about what Rogue said. Instead she heard this:
"... Fang said a bad word!"
Angel looked up from her feet and saw Soren glaring at Fang who returned the deadly gaze. Soren then smiled almost evilly as he put an arm around Fang's neck as though they were best buddies.
"I need to talk to you. Step outside?"
Fang sweatdropped and as they walked toward the exit, Fang looked back to see Shira send him an apologetic expression. When they closed the door Angel was frozen in her spot while Rogue and Shira walked over to her.
"Are you okay? You look pale."
Angel nodded, "yeah... I was just scared."
"That we were going to tell? Whenever Rogue says stuff that's going to happen we cover it up. Brother doesn't pay much attention and we're used to making up excuses to cover up his visions."
The butterfly looked at Rogue whose demonic red eyes were glued to his feet, and for once she saw something she thought she wouldn't see in a demon. She saw a genuine, apologetic soul trapped inside a dark chameleon, in the form of the future face of one of the people that wanted her and Sinister dead. The thought halted everything and Angel frowned.
"Rogue... do you know who-"
"Sinister is? Yes."
Angel's attenaes drooped slightly until Rogue poked Angel in the forehead with one of his knife like fingers. A shiver was sent down her spine and she backed away.
Rogue's face turned from curious to one that mimicked being hurt.
"Am... Am I seriously that horrifying? Do I scare you? If it was from before I'm seriously sorry about that."
"Well you can... wait... did you just apologize?"
The black chameleon nodded.
"Of course I did. Isn't that what people do when they did something wrong in the future?" Rogue questioned. Angel had to admit, for making such a huge mistake and meeting the past Rogue, she was glad she did. If only Rogue was like this in the future, then things would've been different.
"Yeah. That's what we do. We apologize. And I'm sorry if I gave you that impression, it's just that in the future, you're much scarier so I wasn't sure how to react."
Shira giggled.
"He's always been like that. With the clawed hands and so on. We don't know why but it's pretty useful if we don't have any knives to cut things and so on."
Angel had to smile slightly at that; her worse enemy was such a strange weirdo as a kid. But there was something that was bugging her about this. She sensed something horrible was going to happen but... nothing had. How could she still feel that sting of dread when they were getting along at this moment in time?
"How did you get here anyways? In the past I mean."
"Well Shira, that's a bit complicated. It just happens."
Rogue's childish eyes held a sage look as he smiled.
"Time warp. You warped Fang and yourself back here to show the baka what happened to you. Of course you failed if you're this far back."
Angel nodded.
"This is disturbing me... he knows EVERYTHING! No way can a kid like him be this smart in the prophecy area at such a young... strike that. I don't know his real age. For all I know he can be a hundred years old but only be in a child's body!"
The sound of the doors flying off the hinges, a body slamming against the table and the sound of Shira shrieking dragged Angel out of her mind. She ran over to the nearly unconscious Fang and she shook him.
"Fang?"
"O-Okay... I'm... alright..."
Angel sighed as she patted his head and she sat down and watched as Soren walked in and smirked with triumph. Shira frowned.
"Brother! You didn't have to beat him up! You probably messed something up!"
"Messed something- did Rogue see something in another one of his nonsense visions?"
Shira shook her head quickly, too quick for Soren's liking. Soren looked at Angel who just shivered at the swift glare. She had seen that glare before but where exactly?
No, she was being stupid, there was no way she had seen that glare before. It was impossible.
"What if I did see something? I'm doing us a favor by sharing it."
"But you're being dumb by believing everything that you see. Use some common sense!"
"You won't be saying that when you admit I'm right and that Shira and I belong together more than you two do."
Angel was confused; together? Was Rogue jealous of Soren?
"Not this again! Now you're being even more stupider than before! Besides, I'm Shira's brother and you can't do anything about genetics!"
Rogue seemed slightly angry almost like he was about to have a temper tantrum like a true child, but instead Rogue clenched his clawed hands only to be stopped even in that process by Shira.
"Rogue, don't clench. You'll hurt yourself."
"Shira! How can you want to stay with him!? He's controlling you like a pawn in a chess game!" Rogue shouted at Shira.
Shira backed away, her eyes watering with tears; apparently she didn't like being yelled at. Soren slapped Rogue across the face.
"GET OUT!"
"I'll get out when you die!"
Soren kicked Rogue in the shin and Rogue's eyes started to water with pain filled tears. Rogue didn't leave though as he returned the lethal stare that Soren shot at him.
"I said get out."
"And I said when you die."
"You drop dead first!"
"If I do that then Shira wouldn't have a real life!" Rogue remarked as Soren lifted Rogue and threw him outside where the dark chameleon flew right into a tree. Rogue's red eyes were closed as a depressed look overcame him.
"Rogue!"
The dark chameleon darted away from the house before Shira could see that he had a very large gash on his head. Angel then realized how she saw that earlier glare from Soren. She knew him in the future.
"Soren you should be ashamed of yourself!"
Soren looked at Angel as the butterfly stared at the wolf straight in the eyes.
"Why? Because he wants to be a selfish brat?"
"Because through everything you said to him... he's actually right. You control everyone as though they're pawns. How about you give up the game of chess before you meet the queen and get your butt handed to you? I'm surprised that Shira doesn't hate you."
Angel ran outside and followed after Rogue who was crying almost hysterically. Rogue finally stopped by a tree sapling and he sat down, tears running down his face.
"Are you okay?"
"Do I look okay!? How can I be okay when I just got thrown against a tree?!" Rogue snapped at Angel as he held the gash on his head and he sniffled.
Angel dug through her pockets and took out a few tissues, she walked over to him and started to dab his wound.
"You know something. Everything you said about him is right. He's a jerk. He always want something to control."
Rogue didn't say anything and Angel brought up enough courage to ask, "you like Shira don't you?"
"More than anything on Mobius, Heaven, Hell and everything else in between."
Angel smiled. She didn't know what kind of person Shira grew up to be, but she wondered if Shira was the way to keep him out of the dark side of things that would lead to the future.
"You should know that. I mean with what'll happen in the future and stuff."
"You know what's going to happen?"
Rogue nodded, "Shira and I are gonna wind up together forever and we're going to wind up getting married and have a kid."
Angel blinked back her surprise until Rogue said, "of course that's not one of my visions. That's what my heart is telling me."
"That's so cute!"
"Cute?"
"Love is a wonderful thing and I'm happy you found someone to love," Angel remarked as she sat down next to Rogue. She never really would've expected to say something like that to him, no matter how old he was.
The chameleon stared at Angel and he asked, "you really believe me?"
"Of course I do. I can disagree with a lot of things, but that's one of the things I don't argue with. Love is far out of my reach. I'm just a kid after all. Sinister would know more about love than me."
"Sinister... she's the hedgehog who works for someone important right?"
Angel nodded.
"She sounds nice... can we go see her?"
"I don't know. She's in the future and I can't just leave Fang behind."
"How about this? We'll grab Fang and we'll go to the future."
The butterfly felt something in her stomach turn and she also thought her stomach was doing flips. Something wasn't right, she knew there was something important that she wasn't allowed to do. Unfortunately she couldn't remember it.
"I won't interfere with anything that's happening in the future or anything. I just need some advice, which unfortunately I'm not going to get here. Please Angel?"
He had a point; Rogue wasn't going to go to Shira or Soren for advice on love, and Fang probably wasn't the person to go to for advice anyways. She sighed as she stated, "fine. But let me warn you, I'm dead in the future so I don't know if you'll be able to see me or not."
Rogue nodded, "that's okay! Lets get Fang!"
The duo got up and they charged toward the house but what Angel felt next was the final thing that led to her dreadful feelings. Her heart seemed to skip a beat or at least that was what it felt like as she put her hands over where her heart should've been and she fell onto her knees. Rogue skidded to a halt as he put a hand on Angel's shoulder.
As Rogue was about to ask Angel what happened, the duo heard a strange crackling noise, and the orange glow caught the duo in utter fear and surprise as they witnessed a large fire. The massive flames flickered and Rogue shouted one thing.
"SHIRA!!"
"FANG! FA-" Angel gasped as she felt herself getting weaker and weaker. In this moment of vunerability she realized what was wrong. "T-Time... Dis... Tur...Bia..."
"A what?"
"Something... hap...pens... but... it's... not... sup... pose to ha...ppen..."
Angel shivered as Rogue hugged Angel, "take us to the future, quick!"
She nodded and the duo glowed softly and a large flash of a portal appearing startled Rogue. Angel tensed up and fell limp in Rogue's arms. Rogue looked at the portal and he lifted Angel up bridal style and as tears fell down his face for the fate of Shira, he jumped into the portal.
The portal crackled and flashed but one other figure jumped through before the portal completely vanished.
