Logan ran through the trees outside the mansion. Rogue hadn't made
it easy for him to follow her, even with his superior speed and strength.
More than once did he come way too close to running right into a tree.
Rogue must have absorbed Kitty's powers when she had touched her, it seemed
as though she had run straight the woods, literally.
Logan followed her scent until he reached the cliff edge, nearly toppling over into the sea. Great, he thought. Rogue must have phased through the dirt on to the beach. He just hoped that she hadn't phased too far or stopped part way through. The thought of her just floating down to the earth's core made him slightly sick to his stomach. Clearing his mind of the disturbing thought, he mentally yelled to the professor.
*I've lost her Prof, at the cliff's edge. She must have phased down to the beach. I just hope she didn't get stuck in between...*
*No, Logan,* the Professor's voice echoed in Logan's head, *She made it to the beach. I feel her down there somewhere, but hurry. She is about to run out of my range and if she goes into the water, you won't be able to track her either. And please be careful Logan. Rogue is...not herself.*
Logan didn't need to hear the end of the Professor's sentence. He was already jumping straight down the cliff's surface, hopping from ledge to ledge, digging his extended claws into the rock face.
As soon as Logan hit the sand, he began sniffing the air. In an instant he was running in the same direction that Rogue had minutes before, but there was no sight of her.
Man, this girl can run, thought Logan as he began to pant. He must have chased her for a good mile or more before he suddenly skidded to a stop, sending sand flying everywhere. He frantically sniffed the air, but he already knew that it was hopeless.
*Professor,* he thought as he continued to sniff, *I think that I've really lost her this time. I can't smell anything.*
*She is far out of my range, Logan. Just return to the institute and we'll figure out what to do next.*
