Sting and Rogues' Misadventures

"Rogue!" Get up! It's morning already!?"

"Calm down, Sting, I said, as I awoke to him shaking me, with a green and pink Exceed right in front of my face.

"I'm up, Sting,,, I replied, stretching, as I crawled my way out of the tent, and into the frigid cold weather of Mount Hakabei.

"Cold, huh? Sting asked, as I shivered slightly...

"Is there anything I may have to drink? I asked, my throat suddenly feeling dry, as Sting handed me a water bottle (That actually wasn't frozen) Thanks?" I replied, drinking the water.

"Well, everyone up!?" Erza yelled, as Natsu and Gray popped out of the tents, bags all packed and everything.

"Yup. now, let's get a move on, shall we?" Erza asked, as everyone, including me, nodded in agreement... And we began heading upward, to the top of Mount Hakabei, one more.

"When will we reach the top, Erza? Gray asked suddenly, after about ten minutes of walking.

"In about another day, depends on this frigid weather. Erza answered, as the pulled her bag onto her shoulder.

I was about to say something to add onto Gray's question, when a cough interrupted me.

"Rogue? You alright? Erza asked, as I saw Sting looking at me, I knew what he was thinking, I knew him like I knew my own bedroom at our house.

"Yes, I'm quite fine, thank you. I replied.

About fifteen minutes later, the weather started acting up, and sure enough... We soon couldn't see in front of us.

"Everyone, stay close! Erza ordered, and I could barely make out her hair in the snow.

"No, guys! Over here! Natsu yelled, as we noticed a giant stream of flames break through the blizzard,

"I found  a cave, and It's empty!! Natsu yelled, as me, and everyone else headed towards Natsu's continuous stream of flames.

"Good job, Natsu! Erza said,  one we had all gotten inside, free from the blizzards wrath.

"Close, Gate of the Clock Constellation, Horleogium! Lucy yelled, as one of her Celestial Spirits returned to the Celestial Spirit World.

"Whew, that was a Blizzard.... Lucy said, as she put her Gate Key back into it's case.

"You're right about that, Lucy! Natsu said, smiling, as he patted her on the back.

I sighed, leaning against the wall of the cave, cold, wet, and also, oddly exhausted...

"Rogue, you sure you're alright, you're looking tired..  Erza asked, as I smiled slightly, though in truth, I was starting to feel, almost sick...

"Whoo! Its party time! Natsu cried, as he ran around the cave, acting foolish.

"I guess that we'll have to stay here for the remainder of the day... Erza concluded, sighing deeply.

"I guess you're right, Erza... Lucy said, sighing, as she sat down at the side of the cave, leaning against the wall opposite to me.

"Well, It's practically impossible to go out in that storm, it would eat you alive. I said, wrapping myself tighter in the blanket, though giving me very little warmth.

"Yea, and you say that, and look at you! You look exhausted! Natsu yelled, pointing to me.

"Natsu's actually right (For once) I mean, I know this won't sound nice, but Rogue, I think you've caught a cold.... Sting concluded.....

"I'm very quite fine, I replied, as I sighed, turning away.

"Well, everyone, get comfortable, we are going to be staying here for a looooong while......

And so began the first day of hell....
