Chapter 9: Falling
"Something does feel different!" he woke up a few hours later followed almost instantly by a near hysterical scream.
He shot up, pulling against a tube attached to his furry arm.
'Wait…fur?' Kurt looked at his arm, he touched 'it' with his hand and then realised that his hand was different as well-it had mutated in the same way that his feet had-give or take a finger and toe.
Instead of five fingers on each hand, he only had three.
Using his weird hands, he rubbed his fuzzy arm, "Its real" he acknowledged, speaking out loud with a cold shiver crawling down his back and down his tail at the realisation.
"Tail?" he leapt off the bed, the IV tore out (though he was too preoccupied to react to the pain), and he looked around at his back to find a tail flickering in agitation at the bottom of his spine. He could actually move it himself or allow it to respond to his feelings automatically, instantly he took control and it lowered to the floor, moving no further more.
He rubbed his fur some more, "Its everywhere!" he panicked and tried to scratch it off his skin, "its not working" he whimpered and crouched onto all fours, taking in his surroundings.
He wasn't in pain, that was a good thing-but the price was far too high in Kurt's opinion.
Nobody appeared to be around he noticed as he walked across the room on his bare feet.
It was a pretty security-lax laboratory but without knowing where he was exactly-teleporting was close to impossible.
The room was painted a dreary light grey, there was a bed; a plain hard thing, a sink, a table with some odd looking glass test tubes all set up on it in a way that it looked like an odd science experiment.
"Well, it is a lab" he muttered and then focused on some blue hairs floating on some water in one of the tubes and he realised that he had lost a little patch of fur where the IV had been put in.
The bare patch revealed that even the colour of his skin was tinted blue, more strongly than the last time that he had checked.
He frowned at his hands again, vaguely wondering if he could still write or even type-ack he was failing computer lab anyways.
There was a camera above the door, blinking a little red light and rotating to follow Kurt as he explored the room.
Wondering if it was locked, he walked over to the door and curiously turned the handle-it wasn't locked!
He looked up at the camera, maybe the security guard's asleep, there were no alarms either.
Creeping down the corridor, he brushed his fingers against the wall-they seemed to be able to grip the smooth surface.
Kurt looked down at his feet and experimentally leaned one foot against the wall to discover that it could also grip the smooth wall.
On all fours, he grinned as he realised another perk-he could walk up the wall.
"Cool" he whispered in 'aww' and started to walk upside down on the ceiling, this was a definite advantage to aid his escape.
He suddenly blushed as he noticed that he was wearing nothing but a thin white t-shirt and black shorts. He did however appeciate the hole for his tail.
Suddenly the alarms went off! The whole corridor was plunged into darkness.
It was at that moment that Kurt realised that he had pretty good night-vision, he would have smiled but he was beginning to doubt whether he was even human or not.
He was scared.
The darkness in the corridor was replaced by a red glare, the change of lightning confirming the emergency.
The area of the corridor behind him was blocked by a metal seal closing down behind him.
The section of the corridor, a little further up infront of him, opened to reveal two figures, one was obviously a man in a wheelchair, the other looked like a body guard of some sorts.
The red glare was deactivated by a voice command from the man in the wheel chair, but Kurt had already managed to crawl above the two figures so that they couldn't see him in front of them.
Trying to slow down his breathing, Kurt realised the patch of missing fur was bleeding from where he'd ripped the IV out.
A drop of blood menacingly threatened to drop right onto the shoulder of the body guard (i've been watching the spider-man movie), Kurt moved one arm to cover the small wound but it was no good.
He lost his concentration and he was already sweating from fear. The sweat had already loosened his grip. so that when he moved his arm off the wall from trying to stay still....
He fell.
