Took me ages, I know. I am now writing 6 fics simultaneously and I am
determined to finish them all. You try doin that sometime!
I do own Danielle and most of the villagers but that's all.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
I had taken a long time for Danielle to calm down again, She was jumpy and was on the look out for another attack. She had refused to tell anyone if she had been attacked by the Kurt copy before and wouldn't even tell Kurt what other things had happened to her when she was with mindbender.
Kitty could see that as they approached Kurt's village he became more and more tense. She realised that in about ten minutes he was going to see the destruction of the place where he had grown up. How would she feel if Her family told her that their hometown had been burnt to the ground?
Kitty managed to catch him eye and smiled at him, hoping to make his nerves a bit better. He smiled back but turned away again to look out the window as they began to fly over the forest. Danielle made no movement to look out their with him.
Kitty was watched and saw pain cross his usual cheerful features, he seemed to age by almost five years as he looked. It actually hurt her to watch his shoulders sag and the spark practically beaten out of him. Then something caught his interest and he grabbed Danielle, spoke urgently to her and pointed out the window. It a matter of seconds they were both looking out.
"What is it Kurt?" Jean asked
"Our houses! They're still there!" He exclaimed, "All the others have been burnt down except for ours!" He didn't sound overjoyed, it was clear that the destruction of almost the whole of his village still disturbed him but at least it wasn't as bad as they had previously thought.
Danielle seemed to have finally cheered up and together they pointed things out to each other
"Look! There's the lake!" Danielle cried
"And the river! And the stables!" They were practically fighting to see out the window now.
Kurt simply couldn't wait for them to land, he grabbed Danielle's hand and teleported
"ELF!" Logan yelled but he was already gone
Kurt and Danielle teleported again and both landed in the trees
"Oh yeah! NOW I'm home!" Danielle laughed and ran along the nearest branch before jumping onto another one. Kurt followed her without hesitating
When it came to trees, Danielle was just as agile as he was, even more so occasionally. Kurt didn't find himself slowing down for her like he sometimes did with the x-men#
"Not going too fast for you am I? Danielle laughed while climbing even higher so that Kurt lost sight of her for a second
"You wish!" he replied but Kurt realised that he'd lost her Danielle? Where are you?"
Danielle jumped down from behind him
"I knew I'd loose you!" she laughed
"You got lucky" Kurt said, annoyed that he'd lost her
"Yeah right Kurt! Your senses have gone down the drain!" Danielle stuck her tongue and ran like the dickens before he killed her
"You wait till I catch you!" Kurt yelled
"You never will!" Danielle replied, she was gaining distance and Kurt looked around for a short cut.
"ELF!!" It was logan
"Uh-oh"
Danielle walked back towards him
"How come he keeps on saying eleven?" She asked
"It's his name for me" Kurt explained
"Riiiight" Danielle said slowly "Well, let's get goin and see what they left of our homes"
A thought suddenly dawned on Kurt
"The horses!! If they've been left for the last few days with nothing too eat they'll all be starved! You go and tell the others I'll be back in a flash"
"Easy for you to say" Danielle muttered, as he disappeared "I don't even speak their language"
*
Kurt teleported several times before he reached Carol at the stables
"Carol! You're still here!" he exclaimed
"Kurt, It's so great to see you back in Germany. Yeah, I visited my mother a little early this year. It seems everyone thinks I'm away, I haven't seen a soul in days"
Carol was English and made frequent visits to her mother in London. She had been a tremendous help to Kurt when he was learning English. It was clearly pure luck she hadn't been kidnapped.
"Carol I need to tell you something" Kurt began
"Don't worry, Danielle and I have been exercising Night rider plenty" She sighed. Picking up a heavy saddle and carrying it to get hung up inside
"That's not it, Carol the whole towns been kidnapped!" The moment those words left his mouth he realised how dumb he sounded.
Carol laughed making her freckles dance across her cheeks
"That so?" she made the simple switch from German to English
"Carol, I know it's hard to believe but have you seen a single person in the last three days?" he asked desperately
"Well, no but Kurt that can't be the reason!"
"Then you tell me why Danielle turned up on the door step of the institute crying her eyes out and begging for help?" Kurt yelled
Carol was silent
"Fine, but can I at least borrow Night rider?" He asked
"Sure, and I might as well come with you too. If you're right then I am not leaving you and your cousin alone" Carol clearly felt she had responsibility
"Well, Logan's here but I could sure use your help" Kurt like Carol, she was in her mid twenties with golden brown hair cropped short. She adored the horses and no one could have a better temper.
Kurt went to get Nightrider, his own horse. Danielle had obviously been looking after him because he had blue ribbons in his hair and tail, something Carol nor Kurt could ever be bothered to do.
Nightrider remembered Kurt instantly and nuzzled him affectionately. He was black all over with a dark mane and tail. A terribly skittish foal Carol had almost sold him but Kurt had begged and begged until she'd let him Keep the horse.
He was riding out of the stables in a matter of minutes. Carol joined him riding Ashen, her favourite mare.
"Let's go"
It still took his breath away when he was dodging a tree every second but Night Rider never failed him
"Elf! Where've you been?" Logan asked when he approached
"This is Carol, she seems to be the only villager still here" Kurt introduced her
"Is what Kurt's been saying true? Has the village been destroyed?" Carol looked disturbed
"Yes, I'm very sorry" Logan replied
"You speak English" Scott noticed
"Uh-huh, I even taught Kurt" Carol replied
The others had never thought that Kurt had learned English, they just thought he'd always known it
"Okay, we're gonna need somewhere to stay, it's getting dark here"
Kurt turned to Danielle
"My house or yours?" He asked, Danielle thought for a minute
"Mine, let's not forget your room" Danielle reminded him
"Good point"
I do own Danielle and most of the villagers but that's all.
