I hope you enjoy and if you haven't ever read "Can't Stop Loving You" you'll be completely lost but if you want to try and read it with out fine by me just don't complain if you're a bit lost. Thanks to every one that urged me to get off my butt and write up the sequel. Here we go, sorry it's short.

Catch me as I fall

Say you're here and it's all over now

Her feet crashed and sunk into the muddy earth below her as she ran at her brisk pace, going any slower and she would surely sink in, but she didn't slow, not a bit. She kept running, kept pushing her self even harder and harder until she had given it everything she had. She refused to stop, she wouldn't stop, and she couldn't stop.

She continued to run, her chest hurt like hell and her vision was beginning to blur but she kept running. She couldn't stop, there was no stopping her. She was determined to do this, even if it killed her. Just a little farther she told herself, just a little more I promise.

She knew she was lying to herself, but it helped when she coached herself on, it made her feel like she really could make it. And she was determined to make it, she would make, there was no stopping her, it was as if she was possessed, only this time the one possessing her was for once herself, she was in control now for the moment and she liked it that way. She liked having her own thoughts flood her mind and not those of several annoying physics.

Rogue had been training like there was no tomorrow for the last three weeks. She had worn her body down to the point of complete exhaustion, loosing more weight then was healthy but also gaining a decent amount of muscle to make up for it, she was still as skinny as a rail. It was a miracle she could even walk everyday, let alone carry out her normal training routine. But she kept going, kept on fighting. Because of what was waiting for her at the end and she longed for it. Freedom.

It was her freedom which she strived for, her independence from Him, from her bantering physics, from everything. And the one thing or the one person that kept her going was Remy. It was the thought of seeing him again that really pushed her, it was him she saw at the end of all this. Once she had completed her training, once she was strong enough to defeat him, she could see him again, see her Remy. Oh how she missed him, some nights while she slept she could have sworn she had heard his voice whispering good night to her, and it comforted her.

Rogue gasped for another breath as she thought of what Irene and Agatha had said, she was pushing her self too hard in such a short amount of time and she wasn't giving her body enough time to recover. It would soon lead to her down fall, Rogue spit at the memory as she leaped over a fallen tree, coming down hard on her bruised and worn ankles, but she kept on going. "I can do this!" Rogue screamed out, and with that she felt a bit more confident. Sadly enough her body failed to get that memo. Her physics were tired, sharing in her pain and misfortune. That's why she pushed herself so hard, it made them quiet, they had no energy left to bicker. And He seemed to be pretty quiet as well, though Rogue was afraid that with her pushing herself to the brink that he would use it as a chance to take over, but with her lack of physical strength she made up for it with her mental training with Agatha every night. Having no physical strength made it easier on Rogue to relax her mind. And if her regular physics were so wasted with her insane training schedule then maybe He was too.

Rogue's breathing deepened as she began to gasp for breath, "A little further," she whispered to herself, "come on just a little further." Rogue's vision began to blur to the point where she could barely see the surrounding trees, she couldn't breath, her chest hurt too much, but she couldn't get her feet to stop moving, she continued to run, the passing branches continues tearing at her flesh, it got to the point where she didn't feel the stinging anymore, it was a dulled out pain. On pain can dull another, Logan had told her once. Rogue slightly smiled at the memory of Logan, but she didn't stop. She was determined to finish, she had to finish, she would finish. "ARGH!" Rogue cried out as she began to lazily trip over her feet. "A little further." She demanded of herself, "Just a bit more I promise." There were tears now dripping down Rogue's face, she couldn't quit. She could do this yesterday so why not today? What made today any different? She could do this, come on, she pleaded in her head with no breath left she was running on fumes, but she kept running.

Come on...

You can do it...

Just a little further chere...

Remy?

Rogue nearly collapsed, who was that voice? It wasn't hers, but it couldn't have been one of her physics, could it have been?

"Remy?" Rogue called out desperately, she found new found strength flow through every pore in her body. She sped up franticly looking for him. "Remy?" She cried out again. She was so tired, she didn't know how she was still running, it was impossible but she still continued to run. She had to find him. Her Remy. Speaking to the atmosphere

No one's here and I fall into myself

Chere...

"Remy?" Rogue called out again, it sounded like he was only in her head. Rogue felt a new tear slide freshly down her cheek as she ran through the trail, he wasn't there. It was all in her head. But then, off in the distance there he was. "Remy!" Rogue cried out happily as she ran even faster and harder towards him, the figure looked up and smiled as he shoved his hands in a brown trench coat he was wearing.

Ello chere...

She had missed him so much, and now he was here. She was going to run up to him and hug him for all he was worth and then she would tell him, tell him everything, about how she loved him and she didn't want to live without him. And if he didn't feel the same way she would tell him she didn't care she would be happy just being friends with him as long as she could be by his side once again, and they could be just the way they were before this whole mess happened. She would at least have her Remy back, her Remy.

Remy. Rogue thought happily, as she ran up to him, coming closer and closer and closer to where he stood slowing down to a walk until she got to where he was and he was gone. "No..." Rogue whispered sadly, she couldn't believe it. "No, Remy, come back, please..." Rogue called out in a panic as she reached into the air in front of her grabbing at something that was never there. "Please Remy, don't leave me again." Rogue begged as new fresh hot tears flowed down her cheeks. "Come back..." Rogue whispered pulled her hand back covering her mouth as if she couldn't believe it, "Remy..." she whispered as she collapsed down to the ground, holding herself as she lay there, shivering ass she absently cried, "please, please don't leave me..." she paused as she curled herself into a tiny little ball, "I love you..." she whispered in a sobbed voice wishing this would all end.

Author's Rant: I live! And sorry for the short chapter. I really am but this seemed like a good place to stop. You know get you guys back in the mood, for the story. Another chapter I promise will be up soon okay! But hey, at least I posted right? And a special thanks to Ellie s.g. who sent me an email last week and reminded me that I need to work on this story. Took me two days to reread it because I forgot a lot of the details but hey check it out! I posted! And I know that a lot of you have sent me emails asking me when I plan to update my stories and I do thank you for motivating me. Thanks you guys! Let me know what you think. I know this one was sad but "Can't Stop Loving You" Was full of angst, so why can't "Whisper?" Hope you enjoyed it!
