"That's it Son you got it." A man and Woman watched as their blue child began to fish. The proud father beamed with pride as he was joining his son in small fishing. Patting on his back,"You'll be a fine farmer one day."
A young Kurt grin, giving his dad a toothy smile,"You think so Dad?"
"Son I know so!"
"Honey..." Mr. Wagner blinked as he looked over his shoulder, looking to his beautiful wife. "can I talked you inside?"
"Ja."
The elderly woman walked over to her pantry to show her husband, there was no food, there was nothing. She had frowned, "Love, we don't have enough to last us for the winter..."
"..." The man looked outside watching his son fishing outside, "We all have to make the trip don't we?"
"I don't feel comfortable taking Kurt into town..they'll kill him, Christian."
"We can't just leave a seven year old boy home all alone, and it will be more than we can carry, it would do him some good."
The woman frowned as she crossed her arms holding herself,"Your right."
Christian walked over and wrapped his loving wife into a hug from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder,"We won't let him out of our sights, I promise."
Kurt smiled, his tiny tail twitched as he began to draw some stick figures of his parents and him walking side by side. His grin slowly shifted into a frown looking around, he sighed, 'There's nobody to play with...'
"Kurt..."He perked his head up seeing His mother walking into the room,"It's time for bed.."
"Ah..Yes Mom." He slowly got up and began to climb up into his bed with eease. ."Kurts golden eyes looked outside to see a dozen of stars which seemed to comfort him in the stangest of ways.
"We have a big day tomorrow."That perked his ears as he tuned to his mother who walked over and began to tuck him in,"Tomorrow we're all going to town."
"Really?!" those golden eyes shined under the dim light, Kurt suddenly, full of energy began to hop up and down, hopping up and don on his bed, squealing with joy only for his mother to gently push him back down chucking.
"Yes really, but you will have to listen to us very carefully okay?"
"Ja! I can do that!" Excitement overflowed him as his mother kissed the top of his head lovingly before he hugged her with his three fingered hands,"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Your welcome now get some rest."Valerie shushed him watching her son sink into his covers once more. Kurt little hands just clutched his pillow, as he nuzzled into it.
"So Kurt swetty remember what I told you?" The short haired woman walked with Kurt's hand In hers. Walking into a very rustic Germantown. The hills were a lush green, the streets were patched in cobblestone. Pine trees as tall the sky
The young boy was in a cloak cover most of his face, "Stay close."
"And..."
He groaned once his father tipped off the obvious,"Stay by the cart when you go into the shops."
"We just don't want you to frighten people dear."His mother knet to his level when his father stopped their little cart. In front of a little store.
"Now, we trust you to be good okay."His mother was very worried, she knew what they were about to do was something irresponsible but there was no choice.
"Okay mom...I got it." Kurt watched his mother then his father walk into the store.. Kurt blinked as he felt an object hit his side, "eh?"
He looked to this red object, and plucked it up. "Hey.." Kurt perked his head up as he looked over to see a couple of bigger kids walk over to him,"I don't think we've seen you here before.."
"I'm Kurt."He replied friendly as he took his hand out with the other looking at it oddy,"what's...wrong."
"Nothing...say...why don't you come and play with us...at Oldmans Bluff. It's not far from here." Kurt for a moment began to debate, He had promise his folks that he would stay here, "Will be right back."
For a moment Kurt thought about it It would be quick,"okay..."
_
Kurt had silently followed the boys outside of town he began to feel uneasy as the one boy in the back made sure he went along quietly. He was led down the hill that the town was upon. Kurt was lead to a small cavern with an open mouth where there were sharp rocks, the hole seemed bottomless, Kurt blinked as he looked down,"That's a long way down.."
"Yeah...and your going in it freak."Kurt turned before he was suddenly shoved down suddenly feeling the sensation of his hood being pulled down by the wind. His golden eyes helplessly watched as the two boys that pushed him down, began to slowly grow father and father away. Until his gaze decided to black out on him.
"It sounds like it came over here..."Quietly under a small sections of Caverns. A girl walked forth, she had the fair skin, Creamy white hair with the ends a light brown color fell short off her shoulders, it did matched the cat ears that were on her head, along with her fluffy paint brush like tail. The little girl looked over where a sliver of light lead the girl with the tattered grey dress. She approached the cove of flowers that were filled with many different colors, purples, pinks, blues, red. She walked over with care on her bare feet, "Oh...a boy..and He's all blue"
The girl scampered over to him as she was on her hands and knees. She closed her eyes and concentrated really hard. Letting her ears from to normal and her tail to disappear. She being confused on is appearances, she gently and slowly leaned forth and pressing her ear against his chest, She could hear his heart beat, She breathed a sigh of relief as she pulled away, hearing the boy groan beneath her.
Kurt slowly opened his eyes as he was string back into a set of gentle blue ones, as the sun seemingly beamed down upon them both,"Are you okay?"
Kurt knew she was speaking in English to him, he found it somewhat odd for these parts,"Ja...I'm okay.."
He flinched as he tried to move his leg, "Oh..your hurt, Here...let me help you."
He watched in awe as she helped him up, "Thank you.."
"So...what's your name?"
"Kurt.."
"Kurt huh?...My name's Clara..Come on we need to tend to your right leg..."
The six year old girl led him to a small corner of the cavern. As Kurt looked around in a bit of aw seeing some interesting things, like vibrant colored crystal that hung from the ceiling and blankets and pillows, which he was set upon, "Where did you get all this stuff..."
"From...a guy I knew..."Clara words were just simple enough, "He...kinda is a bit of a control freak, I've been on the run... he keeps taking me on boats ugh..."Clara shuttered as she walked to her first aid kit, "But some stuff I manage get some stuff around town...Where am I, by the way?"
Kurt began to think,"out near the Black forest."
"Woah...still in Germany...I'm faaaaar from the ocean though..."She turned back to him as she came forth,"So...can I ask...have you always been blue?"
"Yep."He had his tail up,"And a tail too."
"Oooh"Clara giggled as she looked behind her,"I guess I don't have to hode this anymore."She smiled as slim tail this time popped out a creamy white color.
"Woah..."
"Cool right? I can turn into any animal as long I know what it looks like." She grinned as her new appendage as focousing hard so the tail shifted into the one it was before,"See."
"Woah...I wish I could do that..."Clara smiled as she then began to gently take the gaze out,"How long have you been able to do that?"
"Since as long as I can remember...My mama and papa." A specs of sorrow began to take root at the mention thought I was very special...but they..both died in a car crash..."
"Oh..."Kurt watched as she finished wrapping his leg up
"It doesn't look too bad..."Clara sad beside him wrapping her arms around her legs. Bring them close to her chest,"I hope it's not too dark."
"Nien, it's not a problem for me. I can see the dark just fine."
"So how did you get here?"Clara decided to ask up, "Did you fall down?"
"More like pushed down.."He huffed as he flopped down onto the comfy pillows."I can't even crawl that high up..."
"Well it is the only way up..."
"Greaaaaaaaaaat..."Kurt frowned as he slowly pulled himself back up into a sitting position,"How am I supposed to get back up?"
"Hmmmm..."Clara began to ponder scratching her chin Her cat ears popped back onto her head, "Oh! Wait I have an idea!"
"Oh you dropped the ball again" The boy called out to his friend walking over to the hole in the earth, "Why cant you catch t."
"I'm sorry!" The two boys had headed over to the mout of the pit cave.
"Great..."The boy looked to his friend,"So what are we gonna do now?"
"I-"The boy's friend stopped mid sentences as terror struck his features.
"Oh what? You scared that blue freak is gonna come back out-HEY!" Rubbing the back of his head,"Who-"
The bully turned around only to find something he only seen in fairy tails, Right before him he was confronted with a dragon with white shiny scales, blue cat like eyes. Suddenly sliding it's mouth to see a suddenly small stream of fire aim past their heads.
The bullies screamed at very high pitch causing the dragon t flinch slight before they suddenly ran away.
Someone on the back of the dragon laughed. Turning her head as she crawled out She looked to Kurt,"That was Amazing! I didn't know Dragons exist."
"They don't..."Kurt had hopped off Clara's back with her nap sack I hand, "I remember reading something in fiction and just incorporated it. Clara's body then began to shift into a small kitten, landing on her feet,"Now...can I have my bag so I can change in the bushes over there."
"Ja." Clara jumped and snatched the tossed knapsack with her mouth. Rushing into the Bushes then came back out in her normal form dusting her tattered dress. "How long have you lived down there?"
"a couple days now." She watched him pull his hood onto his head. Walking with him back to the village, "I had to run...otherwise they would catch me"
"Who's they?"
"I don't know but they wore these funny turbins."Clara clearly seething in personal anger, "They abducted me from America."
"Pirates?"
"Maybe." Kurt heard her giggle, so he giving a toothy grin her way. she then continued with him walking side by side, "I just never want to run into Kamal..."
"Who's Kamal?"
"The man who nabbed me..." The two walked together into town, as if they known each other for years, "He was taking me to his 'home land'he refuses to tell me."
"Ja, sounds lie you were kidnapped."
"I...went with him willingly though...I had nowhere else to go..."Clara admitted as she began to bounce the ball in her hands onto the cobblestone path,"I will most likely will again..."
Kurt felt his heart ached, he didn't know why...but it was something deep beyond his understanding. Before he could speak up, she spoke first,"Why don't we play catch until your parents show us..?"
"…."He smiled and nodded, "Okay."
The two didn't know how long they had been playing together. It felt like an eternity playing catch, tossing a pebbles into the well. It was the most fun Kurt had in a long time, the two laid on a patch of grass that wasn't too far from the cart. Watching clouds go by under the twilight sky.
"That one looks like a bunny."Clara pointed to the cloud from the corner of her vision. Kurt's golden eyes glanced up and squinted, "What do you think?"
"I think more of goat really..."
"What no way!"
"No look at the horns!"Kurt pointed at the sky showing where te ears were,"They're curled up."
"Yeah..I guess you might be right."
"KURT!" The boy pulled himself up Seeing his panic parents.
Christopher had rushed forth and hugged his son to him,"Oh thank god your alright...The store owner said you wandered off. Why didn't you do what we asked you to?"
Clara tiled her head unsure of what the man before Kurt was saying. Valerie noticed her off the bat and looked to the gir who was clearly in rag, "Kurt who is this?"
"Ah Mom, Dad, this is Clara."The two looked at the girl who was now flushing as she began to pull herself up, dusting her dress. "She rescued me, can she stay with us...she has nowhere to go..."
The two looked to Clara for a moment who just stood there, rubbing her arm mumbling something in English. The elderly couple looked to one another before nodding to their son's words
Kurt smiled as he turned to Clara who blinked innocently.
Six years went by between them, Six years of joy, of change. But threw the hardships the two grew into the best of friends. To the point where they couldn't be torn apart form one another
Clara smiled as she looked outside, she was wearing a light brown sweater and jeans, she was watching the snow falling on the landscape. The pine trees covered in snow. Her hair was pulled held up by a black ribbon to match with her jeans.
'BAMF!'
Clara gasped as she almost dropped the boxes of ornaments in her hands,"Kurt be careful! What if I ended up breaking these? your Parent's would be so upset."
"Ja, well I Manage to find the saw." Kurt who was now Thirteen, and Clara now twelve were preparing to head out to get a Christmas tree together on their own for the first time. Kurt was already in his snow gear.
"Are you sure you'll both be alright on your own."Christian in a robe with a mug in his hands, "With Valerie being ill right now, someone has to stay behind."
"We'll be fine dad."Kurt said with a smile as he walked over to him. The two hugged for a moment. Clara smiled as she began to slip her own gear on. One piece at a time, "Besides we'll be quick."
"Alright." Clara walked over to Kurt patting her clothes,"I'm ready, let's go find a tree."
"When you both get back I'll have some good wholesome breakfast waiting for you."
"Even with waffles?"
"Yep."
The two pre teens looked to one another with glee,"Yum!"
"Now get goin!"The Tiny girl squeaked as an arm wrapped around her, then everything went dark, only to be surrounded by the white morning snow.
Clara shook her head as Kurt began to tread forth with caution into the tall pine woods, "I don't see why I can't transform into a believer and just chop down the wood."
"The last time you did that you almost crushed me!"
"Hey it was your fault."She joked lightly slapping his shoulder in a playful way,"you were the dork that walked in the lining when your dad said to stay put."
"Hey, couldn't help it I was excited!" A bell like laugh verberated from her as they walked down the snowy trail. Kurt smiled at the sound he had grown so accustomed to threw the years, it made his heart fluttered, he watched her walk ahead of him.
"Yeah last year I found the perfect pine tree, it'll fit into the living room with ease...Kurt?" Clara blinked as she looked around. She let her cat like ears perk up when she suddenly felt a snowball had hit her on the back of her head,"HEY!"
Clara whipped around to see Kurt hanging in a tree with a snowball in hand. "Well meine freund. It appears we may be at this for a while."
Puffing her rosy cheeks she gathered up some snow and balled it ,"No teleporting!" She shot a snowball at him causing him to jump down and dodging it with ease.
Along the way the two began throw snowballs at one another, missing hitting it didn't matter.
It took some time before Kurt Teleported right infront of Clara and leaped onto her causing her to laugh landing on her back into the clearing. The two were close to each other painting. Smiling to one another, their hearts raced with adrenaline. Kurt's cheeks flushed as his golden gaze bore into her sapphire stare, the two were slowly close. Clara's heart began to race along with her thoughts, God forbid, all those times in the past few months she wanted to place her lips onto his. It killed her. She couldn't tell him not yet.
Kurt slowly rolled over and landed rig beside her. Clara with glee began to move her arms up and down humming, Kurt watched with a cheesy grin, "Making an angel?"
"Well what else would I do? Jumping Jacks?"Kurt laughed as he slowly stood up and he extended his hand to her. In which, she gladly took as she stood up. "So where is this tree."
Clara looked around and smile pointing to the tree,"Right there."
His eyes linger to the spot of a miracle tree where stood tall and proud, but not too tall, And indeed it was almost too perfect, "Are you sure Clara?"
"Of course Blue." He smiled at the nickname, watching her walk over as she observed it,"This year I want Christmas to be perfect for us."
"Well if you say so." Walking over with the saw now in hand,"It's gonna need the two of us to do it."
"Okay." Clara took one end and smiled. She looked to Kurt and he looked back.
"On three. One Two-"
"Kurt look out!" Kurt blinked looking to see Clara's terrified expression. But he didn't move fast enough, He felt a bashing pain on the back of his head, Everything went dark.
It wasn't too long till he awoke in the snow, hi back half covered in white, A groan slipped past him, "….Clara?" His golden eyes began to scan the area, slowly becoming more fantic with each passing second,"Clara"' He quickly dashed down the path of footprints that he discovered along with a set of drag marks. He rushed over only to see them leading to a mysterious impression on the ground. Tears began to spill from his eyes,"CLARA!"
"And that was the last time I ever saw her, Professor." In his three fingered hand was a small locket hat had a picture of the two together, it was simple gold while a soft melody rang from it, a memory that always brought him back to the times that they shared. Kurt's glide gaze soften clearly held a depth of sadness, "I'm told Amanda about it, but she doesn't like me talking about it very much, But I can't help it...Why couldn't I have done more?" The locket snapped shut. Kurt place onto his lips, trying to block the tears of regret and shame, "She was my best friend...and..."
"Kurt there wasn't much you couldn't do then." Charles Xavier rolled forth in his chair with his fingers folded into a steeple. After listening to Kurt's tale. It seemed to be weighing heavily on him form as what he could tell, "how long has it been since her disappearance?"
"It will be three years...when Christmas comes around..." Kurt spoke in a soft voice depressing tone. Charles began to debate with himself, rubbing his chin
"Hmmm...If she is a Mutant Kurt, I will try my best to look into it." Charles watched Kurst expression was one of mixture of shock and joy.
"You'd really do that professor?"
"Of course Kurt, I want to help all Mutants, if I find anything you'll be the first to know."
"Danke...Professor." The grateful blue fuzzy elf quickly 'Bamf' Out of the room. This is when Charles decided to go and uses Cerebro for the best of it.
