Kurt couldn't concentrate on school. All he could think about was that
Louise, possibly his own blood relative, was back at the mansion in
terrible pain and it was all his fault. None of the others had tried to
talk to him when they saw his face as they left the mansion. Silent tears
had fallen down Louise's beautiful cheeks as her high cheekbones moved
around under her skin. As he began to leave, Louise's partly blue hand shot
out and grabbed his wrist.
"Kurt?" She struggled to get he words out of her mouth "Don't worry about me, okay?" Louise attempted a smile but had winced at the effort. Kurt saw that there was a hidden message in that sentence, what she meant was
'I've chosen to let this happen Kurt so you'd better not pity me' He'd only been in school half an hour but the guilt was consuming him, seeing Louise in so much pain had shocked him to the core. And why had he let it happen? So that for once in his pathetic, lonely life he'd feel like a normal person. Not once had Louise asked him to let her change him back, she had taken the pain in her stride but Kurt knew that he had to do the right thing and help her.
Pretending to need the bathroom he ran outside and teleported to the mansion's infirmary. To his surprise Louise wasn't there. Kurt distinctly remembered Jean levitating Louise over to the soft bed as the woman went into spasms. He looked around the infirmary but she wasn't in any of the other beds either.
"Kurt?" Hank had just come in through the door
"Mr McCoy! Where's Louise?" Kurt cried
"We're not sure, she teleported and we can't seem to find her" The reality of this hit him; he had given Louise his powers, powers that she couldn't control. For all he knew she could have accidentally teleported over a cliff and it would be his fault. Just his.
Kurt couldn't take the look that Hank was giving him and teleported into the garden. His legs gave way beneath him and the only thing that stopped Kurt from collapsing onto the ground was that his hand managed to grab a branch. For several minutes he just stared at his hand, the five-fingered, tanned hand he had stolen from Louise. He was surprised to find that there were tears in his eyes and wiped them away furiously. Kurt looked up quickly; he could have sworn he'd just heard a groan only a few feet away. He ran towards the voice
"Louise?" Kurt went through a bush and found her. Louise looked terrible; she didn't have any shoes or socks on so Kurt could see that she had three toes on each foot. Her entire body had all of his main characteristics but were the changes had taken place Louise's skin was covered with blood.
"Louise!" He cried running over to her. She looked up at him; her eyes kept on switching from white to Brown but didn't look away. Louise's skin was blotchy and red from crying
"It hurts" she whimpered, "It hurts so much" Kurt knelt down beside her.
"Change me back" Louise cried out as her pupils began to get smaller
"I.can't" she struggled "too.. far.gone" He watched as her lovely brown hair began to turn a midnight blue. Delicately Kurt lifted her onto his lap and held her up. Tears were falling down his cheeks, how could he have been so selfish?
"Are you, going to.?"
"Die?" she finished his sentence for him "I don't know, but I'm glad you're here" Her head was lolling all over the place so Kurt supported it from behind. They were silent for a few minutes as one of the final changes started, the tail. Louise grabbed Kurt's hand and squeezed it, biting back screams at the same time. There was a loud rip as the tail grew. Kurt was repulsed by it, the thing was covered in blood in the same way that a newborn child would be. It writhed and he could hear the sickening sounds of new bones aligning. Louise couldn't hold it in any longer and a long agonising scream echoed around them. Kurt hung his head and whispered repeatedly
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" He didn't care that Louise had cut off the circulation to his right hand from grasping it so hard. Louise looked up at him, her ears were pointed and every inch of her skin is blue, they were near the end
"Kurt" she gasped "There's something I need to tell you, David, he's.he's"
"After me? I know" Kurt pulled her closer, 'please don't let her die' he prayed 'not because of me'
"But there's something else" Louise had to close her eyes and focus on the words she was saying, "Something you may not believe" She paused suddenly and let out an ear piercing scream. Only them did Kurt notice something wrong, obviously because she must have been nearly 30, Louise was several sizes bigger than he was. But as she changed into him, the smock that she had worn in the infirmary was beginning to stretch and rip.
"That's not right" Kurt said out loud. He expected Louise to reply but by this point she was completely incapable of speech. She screamed again but as she did it her voice began to drop. The hand that still held Kurt's got thicker, bulkier, and stronger. Large, toned muscles grew out of her arms. Louise's hair shrank until it looked like Scott's, her waist grew, her chest (ahem) shrank and her facial features began to move around underneath the skin. Within a few minutes Louise was unrecognisable and she was still growing. At last the changes stopped and Kurt was left staring down at his 31-year-old twin.
