Remy Entry

Today is te day tat I'm getting married. After 10:30 AM I wont be single any more, Rogue'll be outta my life faever, but Jimmy will be safe. Many times I have ta say I wonder if Jimmy's worth it. I know tats a little mean, but I know Jimmy's family an family matters.

Well … except fer Bobby tat tat ane, secousse, traite ,minet d'a chienne …..

.

Bella knew that Julienne would know nothing of her wedding till the day of, as planned. Looking at her clock, knowing her brother, judging by the weather, she figured he'd be here in six minutes. She decided that Julienne had more than outlived his usefulness.

Six minutes later her door slammed open. Bella started to cry with her face in her hands at her vanity mirror.

"Bells why te hell ya marryin him!"

Sobbing, "He … he kidnapped Leoniff an an he (sob sob) said tat he'd do more than kidnap ta te rest of us if (sob) I didn't (sob) agree ta marry 'em!"

"Bullshit! Ho do I know ya aint lying!"

Removing her hands from her red puffy eyes, "It's true I swear, go to te LeBeau house, Leoniff is there!"

"But it's jus Leoniff Bells."

"Hav ya forgotten tat our father is dead Juli! (sob) It is my responsibility ta insure te future of our kind (sob) … all of our kind," she turned from him and pulled her arms around her chest as if she were cold, "Ya don't know te responsibility, te … te pressure (sob) tat I have. If someone hurts one of us he hurts all of us …"

"Pa did use ta say tat …" Julienne said coming closer to her.

"It don't matter since ya don' understand!" she pulled away from his embrace.

"But I do understand. I also know fer a fact how much ya love Remy, why are ya so upset. Yer confusin me woman!"

A deep pause surrounded them only shattered by Bella's sobs, "Do ya know tat years ago when I was young tat Pa wanted me ta mary Remy? At tat time I aint know him, but when I did I fell fer his charms … I… I was younger then. All I could think was how lucky I was ta have such a handsome an talented husband. But tat was before I got to know 'em."

"Know 'em?" Julienne asked as she turned to face him.

"When we were younger we had sex a few times. I figured tat since I gave 'em my virginity an all tat he loved me an only me, but I was wrong. I was jus another joy ride ta him. I was gonna tell father tat te wedding was off, but Pa became sick. I knew tat if I told him how evil Remy was tat it'd break his heart quickr that te cancer would. I wanted father ta die thankin tat he had everything in order. Was I being cruel?"

"No ya weren't. Ya were always a daddy's girl."

Smiling slightly, "Yes, yes I was … nut after Pa died Remy all of a sudden wanted me back an I refused an now he's kidnapped one of our kind … wat am I spossed ta do Julienne?" she asked with the full force of her leaky blue eyes at him.

Julienne pulled her into his arms, "Do notin, let me share some of tis burden, I'll get Leoniff back fer ya even if I hav ta kill Remy ta do it."

"Ya mean tat?" she asked with her hands on his chest and he rface inclined towards his.

"I mean it."

"Kiss me than?"

"Ki … wat?"

"Kiss me an promise tat you'll come back alive an I promise tat once Remy is dead tat I'll marry ya."

"Ya mean it!" he said excitedly.

"Yes, I do. An we can get te house ya want an ya can have a Julienne Jr. just like ya wanted too, I'm not getting any younger ya know."

"I know. I love ya Bells."

"I love ya too." Bella said kissing Julienne full on the lips. She imagined that he was Gambit to make the transition a little easier. She hated her brother, really really, hated him and she was positive that a fight to the death with Remy would get him killed. And if on the slightest off chance that he actually managed to kill Remy Leoniff was ordered to kill at sight.

Julienne finally released her, gave her a kiss on the head, and left. She knew her retarded brother would go and challenge Remy. So while he was doing that Bella had a wedding dress to fit into.

Remy Entry continued

Son of a bitch …. Anyway Leoniff asked me ta tie 'em up taday. I don't get why though an then he commanded Bobby ta beat em up. Watt e hell is wit people taday? Anyway I hear someone callin my name … I thank its Juli, I'ma go outside an see since my parol officer is a bit tied up at te moment ….

.

"Come out wherever ya are Remy LeBeau. I know tat yer here!"

"Wat ya want now Juli?" Remy asked from his bedroom window.

"Come outside an I'll show ya!"

Sighing Remy descended the stairs and walked to his front yard. Now outside he quickly took note of the rising son in the east before facing Julienne. Knowing him this had to be about Bella.

"I aint gonna let ya marry my woman!" Julienne yelled at him.

"If it were up ta me I wouldn't. I jus want Jimmy back?"

"Jimmy back?"

"Let me guess Bella fagot ta mention tat when she gave ya some kinda movin speech ta come here an kill me taday?" Gambit asked. Noticing the look on Julienne's face he was sure he had hit the nail on the head.

"Bella told me tat ya kidnapped Leoniff!"

"I aint kidnap 'em."

"So is he here?"

"Yes, only because he wants ta be."

"Well l;et me see 'em!" Juliene demanded. Now it became clear as to why Leoniff demanded that they hurt him. Bobby came out with the engered Leoniff.

"Ya call tat wanta be here! He looks like he got beat wit an iron!"

"As strange as tis is gonna sound … he asked us ta do ta to 'em."

"Yeah right. Now I'm warnin ya," Julienne said pulling out a pistol, "Stay away from my woman."

"I cant do tat till she give me back my brotah."

"Then it's a fight ta te death!" Julienne exclaimed getting into position a few steps away from Gambit.

Also getting nto position, "Ya know tat she don't love ya Julienne. Ya know tat she never will. She lied ta ya ta make ya come down here taday. She wanted tis. She wanted you dead …"

"Yer lieing!"

"She's yer sister Juli. Ya known 'er all 'er life. Ya know te way she looks at ya, with disgust an hate. An ya know tat I'm right. Deep down inside ya knoe, tat we both know, tat I am right Juli. Why else are ya here but ta die?

Surely ya know tat I aint shy ta killin somebody. Surely ya know tat I'm a mutant. Surely ya know tat yer gonna need more protection than that gun. Ya probably want even touch me. Now I don't wanna kill ya," Gambit said pulling out some cards, "only cause I know tat it'll make Bella happy. But I also know tat ya aint gonna back down. Yer gonna die here Julienne an no ones gonna give a damn … especially Belladonna. But we both know tat. Yer jus here ta prove tat yer better than me an once again we both know tat tat's a damn lie …"

"Enough talk red eyes!"

"Ta te death then."

"Ta te death. I vowed ta Bella tat I would kill ya."

"It's a shame ya tat ya wont make good on tat vow."

"Ha, watch me!"

"I thank ya bettah watch me instead an no not my ass (that includes you ladies)."

At that Julienne pulled out his guns but Gambit was already next to him. He tackled Julienne to the ground and tookm his gun from him. Julienne punched Gambit off of him and pulled out his second gun and started firing.

Gambit backflipped out of the way. The only part of him with holes was his trenchcoat. Upset, Julienne had to reload once Gambit rounded at him with his staff knocking the gun to the front porch.

Julienne pulled out his knife and slashed at Gambit. Gambit moved his staff left and right, up and dpwn, and side to side to try to knock the knife from his hand, but Juli was far better versed with a blade than with a gun.

As Gambit jabbed forward, Juli deflectd his staff causing Gambit to temporarily loose balance and fall forward past Juli at an angle which gave him enough time to slash Remy across the shoulder. Balance regained Gambit jumped back and threw a few cards.

Juli moved out of the way of the first wave, but the second hit him hard causing him to slam into a tree. Thinking he was unconscience Gambit came closer to inspect him. Juli layed still until he could feel Remy's breath on his face and lunged forward.

Gambit pulled back only an eighth of an inch from contact. Juliene jumped up and tried to hit him again, but Gambit had repulled out his staff fro defence.

Tired of that damn rod getting in the way he swiped his blade to Remy's right shoulder causing Gambit to have to raise his staff to deflect, leaving his torso wide open. Seeing that his planned worked out he kicked Gambit hard in the gut.

Gambit fell hard to the ground. Then tumbled backwards to put some space between the two. In the process he had dropped his staff and was now clutching his gut.

With Gambit hurt Juli saw it as an opportunity to strike. He raised his blade and charged at Gambit, but Gmabit used his hand to grab the sides of the blade before it made fatal contact with him.

Juli tried hard to force the blade forward, causing it to shake in Gambit's hands. As the seconds ticked by blood crawled over the knife from Gambit's freshly made wounds. Then the blade turned red. Juli knew what that meant. He released the blade seeing that he had no choice and ran for it to a nearby shrub as Gambit tossed it at him.

The blade made contact with the shrub causing Juli to fly across the yard. Tired he pulled his self up when he noticed Bobby was on the front porch by his gun.

"Bobby toss me tat firearm!" he shouted at his friend.

"No." Bobby told him, maybe they weren't as good of friends as he thought.

"Why te hell not! I can kill 'em just like we wanted to a while ago!"

"Bella told me not to help. If I help you then I am dead, and how can I hope to preside over all te tiefs from my grave?" Bobby said.

"I told ya she was jus usin ya Julienne. Now get out of my …" Gambit started.

"My dad left me tis damn house!" JeanLuc shouted from indoors.

"(cough) I meant get te hell out of my father's yard now! Don't give 'er te pleasure of your death Juli, yer smarter than tat." Gambit corrected.

"So wat if Bella lied ta me. After I kill y aim goin ta make 'er see thangs my way by force if need be!" Juli said charging at with bare hands. Gambit knew that if death is what Juli wanted he was going to have to oblige no matter how much he didn't want to.

Him and Julienne had never been friends in any way shape or form. They were natural enemies just like wolves and mountain lions, beans and human intestines, make up and men, but Julienne was never on the top of his hit list. Julienne always wanted what he could never have and what Remy, no matter how much he wanted to, could get rid of. So this backwards 'love triangle' would have to end today, just the way Bella planned, with Remy killing Julienne

[sound of bullet being shot]

… or maybe not.

Gambit looked at Julienne fall a few feet before him. He looked at Bobby as Bobby looked at Leoniff. Confused he looked around to see his father hanging out of one of the windows.

"Ya tol 'em ta get off my fuckin property … it aint my damn fault he aint listen." JeanLuc said.

Gambit just smiled at his for all intents and purposes father. Sure on the surface it looked like he did what he did because Juli was intruding on her land, but Gambit knew that JeanLuc did it for him, because he knew his son didn't want too.

.

A few hours later ….

Gambit watched as Bella walked towards him in her beautiful white dress. But all he could think of was Rogue and the future that they could have had. The future he wanted to give her. But fate had dealt his hand and in a few minutes Bella would be his forever, damn
