{Kurt's Pov}
When classes were over it was two and I made my way to Hanks classroom hoping to catch him. I was in luck because I caught him just as he was leaving. "Hello Kurt, is there something I can do for you?" he asked as I walked in. I made sure the door was closed behind me before answering. "Yes, I was hoping to talk to you about Amelia." Hank got tense then. "What about her?" I sighed "Today at lunch I found her in my classroom playing the piano and singing. And I must say she was amazing, but when I clapped she looked up and I saw she was crying. When I asked her what was wrong she told me to leave her alone and then left. She skipped my class afterwards. I was hoping maybe you knew what was wrong." Hank sighed and sat down before gesturing for me to do the same.
When I sat down Hank looked at me and asked if I knew that Amelia's parents were dead. I nodded that I did "Amelia never did get over her parents death, when they died Amelia was said to be the only child that didn't cry. Afterwards she devoted her life to her brothers, job, and education. She doesn't say anything about her parents, maybe never even thinks of them. Unless she's doing a certain activity, for example the playing of the piano. From what I know Amelia always used to play when she was younger, she was also very good. Her mother taught her how to play and encouraged her to sing her heart out as well. Nowadays it's a rare thing to hear her play yet alone sing. Only because she thinks of her mother then and then she cries." Hank sighed
"I witnessed it once when I went to pick her up in the morning for a class back when she was in college. Her mother had a special music room that Amelia kept the same way it was then for years. No one is allowed in there and her brothers chose to not even come close to it. When I knocked on the door one of the houses caretakers answered and told me she was on the third floor. I nodded and went to get her, when I got to the third floor I heard the most beautiful music being played and followed it till I got to a closed door. When I opened it the song had just ended and Amelia still sat behind the piano, crying. I asked her what was wrong and she jumped up and got mad. She told me I wasn't allowed in there and that I had to leave. That was also the same day she found out about her other mutation and she gave me the power of fire." I nodded understanding now. "Is there anything else you wanted to ask me?" Hank asked I shook my head no and told him thank you for sharing with me.
"Anytime, but don't ever let Amelia find out that I told you. It's another thing she doesn't talk about."I smiled and nodded before leaving. I decided to go to the danger room to practice then and headed down. When I got close I heard banging and explosions and rushed to see what was going on. Outside the door were a small group of kids talking to one another and looking worried. "What's going on?"One of the kids turned and looked at me and I noticed it was Remy. "Logan and Millie are going at it in there, and from the sounds of it, they're really trying to kill each other." He said. I quickly teleported up to the observation area and found the Professor and Storm already there along with Jean.
"Is everything alright in there." I asked while walking over to look down at the danger room and found what the student said to be true. It really seemed as though Logan and Amelia were trying to kill each other. "Were not sure, but from the looks and sounds of things something bad must have happened." Storm said. The Professor was still looking down at them when Jean spoke "Logan said that everything was fine until one of the boys made a comment about something and for some reason it set Amelia off. Logan's been trying to calm her down, but it's like she can't stop to think long enough to calm herself." The Professor sighed then and nodded "I'll have to force her to calm down then." He closed his eyes and I went back to watching Amelia and Logan fight. From the looks of it, Amelia was winning. Amelia suddenly stopped for what looked like the briefest of seconds before starting up again and trying even harder to kill Logan. "She's too strong, she's blocking me out."
I had an idea then "Professor, I think I can get her to calm down." He looked at me before nodding and I teleported down into the danger room. "Elf, you better leave" Logan said as he blocked another one of Amelia's attacks. "No, I think I can calm her." I teleported behind her but she turned and wrapped her hand around my neck. I noticed then that she was using Colossus's power and that even if Logan tried, unless she calmed down I would die. Even if she let go or I teleported she was after me now, and I couldn't heal like Logan. "Amelia, please you must calm down." I wheezed out.
She didn't seem affected in the least. "Amelia, please." I saw something change then in her cold eyes. Then slowly she started to change back and she let go of me before collapsing. I knew she was still awake because I heard her muttering incoherent things to herself. I rubbed my sore throat while Logan walked up, his uniform was in shreds and he didn't look good either. "Nice work, how'd ya get her to calm down?" I kneeled down beside her and pulled her into a sitting position. "I asked her to." Just then the Professor, Storm, Jean and now Hank walked in.
Hank ran over and kneeled as well "How is she?" I shook my head "I don't know, she just keeps muttering to herself and I have no idea what she's saying."Hank nodded. "She's speaking Latin." Jean said. "I do know that she speaks it fluently. It's her first language but she only speaks it when she has to or if something has happened and she can't concentrate enough to speak English" Hank said while looking Amelia over. She suddenly stopped and grabbed Hanks hand looking at him from between her messy curls. "Please don't touch me." She then turned and looked at me before shrugging me away as well. "Both of you." She got up then and wobbled a bit before saying sorry to Logan.
"Amelia, can you tell us what happened?" the Professor asked. Amelia looked at him and said that she was very tired and when the boy made a comment on her brothers she snapped. "Can I please leave?" she asked her voice sounding strained, the Professor nodded and asked ME of all people to walk her to her room. I agreed and walked behind her, when we exited into the hall the group of students had grown and all quickly parted and made way as Amelia walked though. They were all scared of her now I could tell. When we were out of sight Amelia suddenly got worse and I could tell she was dragging herself. "MILLIE!" I turned and saw Remy and Alex running to catch up with us.
She didn't stop walking or even answered anything they asked her. It was like she wasn't even really there. When she got to her room I made sure she lay down and tried to get some sleep before pulling the boys aside which was extremely hard and told them to go and find her something to drink. Both nodded and left while I walked back to her. She looked even worse now and jest kept staring at the ceiling. "Kurt" she said very softly. I sat down next to her and pushed some of the curls from her face. "Yes?" she swallowed "Can you please bring me that small chest over there." She pointed to the left and I nodded before going to get it for her. I placed it down beside her and she weakly reached under her pillow and pulled out a small key which she used to unlock the chest which was actually a music box.
When it opened it began to play a tune that I didn't know and had a small creepy looking ballerina turning in the middle. All around it was pictures, come of Amelia and her brothers, sometimes of other people. There was one though on the top of the chest that caught my eye. It was of Amelia in the same creepy looking ballerina outfit holding an infant with a young boy and two older ones standing beside her. Behind them though were two adults that I knew were her parents because she looked just like them.
"That was taken a week before they died." She said while looking over at it "My father gave me this chest at my last show when that picture was taken." She then slowly began to cry, not sobbing or wailing just quietly crying. I moved onto the bed beside her and softly hugged her, gently stroking her hair. When she got quiet I looked down and found her asleep, her chest slowly rising and falling. It was then that I thought to myself that from now on I was going to spend as much time with her as I could, and I would get her to open up more. By crying in front of me I knew she trusted me, and I would not betray that trust or let her down.
Its late and I need to sleep so that's all for now please review and yes, very soon, shall Kurt and Amelia "REALLY" kiss. But until then, keep reading and stay tuned for next's chapters "Gifted Otherwise Known As Freak!"
