Destiny Always Finds a Way 2- Can't escape Destiny

Chapter One

         Rogue flopped down onto her bed, way too exhausted to care if she woke up her roommate this time. It was two o' clock in the morning, she could barely keep her eyes open, and she risked getting into trouble with Logan again (like she had every night for months now), but there was a smile on her face. Because she just spent the last four hours in Remy's arms and in her eyes, everything she went through was worth it for that- even having to take a shower and wash her clothes quickly so Logan wouldn't pick up on Remy's scent. Though fours hours never seemed like enough anymore.

         Each night she spent with him she was more tempted to stay there and damn the consequences. Tonight he'd almost, almost, succeeded in convincing her to stay- but they both knew what would happen if she did. Rogue groaned and rolled over, squeezing her eyes shut. Every night he asked her to stay, just once, jokingly at first, but it was slowly killing them both. She longed for it so badly, but feared it. She knew that she risked everything each time she met with him, even by just being linked with him, and she knew that she'd decided she would give it all be up and have the better deal (she still felt that way too), but it was still so hard.

         She was still so reluctant to lose what she had, to lose her friends, but Rogue wanted so much more- she wanted everything. But the risk was always there, and it seemed that even if she kept things the way they were she'd still lose out. And they'd find out eventually, they always found out in the end. Tears pricked her eyelids. Why did growing up have to be so hard? Kitty and Kurt, and Logan a lot of the time, had once been all that had kept her from teetering over the edge, from destroying herself. But she just felt like now she was going crazy here and nobody could help her anymore, like they were drifting further away and she was sinking deeper and deeper with no escape in sight.

         Even the three people in this school, that she was closest to were treating her oddly and were letting her continue to slide into the darkness. She had thought once that she wanted to be left alone, but since some force had steered her to Remy (or visa versa), she discovered that that was the last thing she wanted, at least now. The world wasn't black and white for her anymore, it was bursting with color- and their way wasn't the only right way anymore. Rogue stared at the wall until sleep slowly came over her, the smile back on her face. She knew what had to happen; she knew what she had to do to fix her world.

  Sorry this is so short, I've been thinking this over for a while now, even while writing Seared In Dreams', but I'm still trying to figure out just where I'm gonna take this next. I promise that I'll try to find that out real soon though and plug in the next chapter. Tell me what you thought of the first two additions. If you got any ideas of what you want to happen in this sequel, other couples (if so, which ones) or details, events, then great- it's up to you. Thanks for all your great reviews and responses on the first one, each one really made my day.  Oh, my friend is going to be playing Amara in the X-men: evolution rpg at and is looking for a guy to play Pyro if anybody knows someone (I don't think any guys read these type of stories anyway). If not, oh well, I just paid back a favor by mentioning it. I put that and another site in my profile in case ff.net deleted the link.
