Word count: 500
He should have seen it coming.
He should have known it was too good to be true. That she was too good to be true.
/The professor taught me to control it./
Her smile was enough to subdue him. Enough to make him dismiss her scent.
/I've grown up quite a bit, Logan; changed quite a bit. You didn't expect me to stay seventeen forever?/
He just held her in his arms, took her into his confidence. Into his bed.
She wasn't a virgin.
/A girl can only wait so long./
He knew then.
/You really didn't think little Marie would want you, did you Logan? Dirty old bastard. I'm all you've got now; the only one in the world that wants you./
He sliced her open right there on the bed, watched her face change into Rogue's once more before she died, the blue scales melt into smooth untouchable skin.
The next day he rode out of town, leaving three hundred cash to help cover expenses.
END.
