Sting and Rogues' Misadventures

"Look!" The entrance!!" Natsu cried suddenly, pointing to the caves entrance, as a giant pile of snow blocked our path out...

"We've, been, caved in, I muttered, standing up, tightening the blanket around me, now shivering relentlessly.

"Rogue?" You, look, cold..." Sting said, as he helped Natsu clear the way of the cave, but unsuccessful.

"To be quite honest, I'm feeling, fine, but tired... I answered, though that wasn't the truth completely.

"Quit screwing around, you scoundrels!" Help us get out! Erza yelled, as she suddenly grabbed Natsu by the hair, and dragged him to the pile of snow.

"Breathe fire on it!" Erza demanded, as Natsu covered his head with his arms, visibly afraid of Titania.

"Aye..." Natsu replied, as he hastily began throwing fire at it, slowly beginning to melt away the ice.

I sighed, leaning back against the cave walls, as Sting threw me a look of concern, and I looked away, sighing.

"Rogue?" Are you alright, seriously?" Gray asked me, as I jumped, sighing.

"Ye-!" I was suddenly cut off by a cute, tiny voice,

"Fro is certain that Rogue-Kun is fine!" Frosch cried, jumping in front of me.

"Frosch, I-..' I stopped, sighing, as I pat the small Exceed on the head, smiling softly.

"Rogue!' Rouge!" Frosch cried, jumping up into my lap, his paws in the air, smiling.

"What is it, Frosch?" I asked, tiredly,

"Never mind, Fro replied, jumping down, and heading over to Lector.

"We've cleared the exit!' Now let's go!" The storm has cleared, Whoo!" Natsu yelled, flaming fists flying in every direction possible.

"Rogue?" You coming?" Erza asked, falling behind from the rest of the group, as she helped me too my feet.

"Yes, I am coming, do not worry, Erza. I replied, before shutting my mouth, sighing, feeling drained of power, and Energy alike.

"Alright then, let's get a move on!" Erza demanded, yelling at the top of her lungs, making my hold my ears.

"Rogue! C'mon, hurry it up, let's go!" Sting yelled to me, as I nodded, and ran to catch up to him, Lector running behind me.

Ten minutes later, we hadn't even made it 100 metres away from the cave, when Natsu asked for a break....

"No!" Not yet, we've got to keep going!" Now move it! Fool!" Erza demanded, pointing up the mountain, trudging through the deep, thickening snow.

I was beginning to loose strength, as I sighed, trying my best to keep pace with Sting and everyone else.

"Hey Rogue!" Hurry up!" Your fallin' behind!' Gray yelled, pulling me up with his hands, as I nodded in thanks.

"Rogue....." Frosch said, noticing that he was now worried about me.

"Everyone.... I muttered, stopping... I was now, exhausted, for an unknown reason.

"Rogue!" What's wrong?!" Sting yelled, running to me.

"Guys, I'm fine.." I said, though knowing Sting defiantly wouldn't buy it.

"Never mind, let's keep going." I said, pushing through the strange sense of exhaustion, and began trudging up the mountain once more.

It was not long after, when I was visibly exhausted, as Sting kept looking over at me.

"Rogue!" Please, take a break!" You look like your about to pass out!" Sting demanded. In that case, I did feel like I was going to pass out, but I hated feeling weak, I hated it, I hated it so much.... But I couldn't stop it, there wasn't any way to stop it.

I soon found enough power to push forwards... But what I did know... Is that it wouldn't last long...
