Hollybr

I got inside my flat finally. It was 5 o'clock in the morning. I had talked to Kurt for nearly 5 hours. I had never talked to anyone for that long in my life. I had found it so easy to talk to Kurt for some strange reason. I leaned against my front door after I had closed it. I could hear that the T.V in the living room was on and on CNN. Angry voices of protestors came from the door, "Save our children, Mutant registration."br

"I wish those bloody idiots would shut their mouths!" I said as I walked into the living room and found my flat mates Corin and Amdy shouting at the T.V saying at the President was a bastard who looked like he had a giant gherkin thrust up his ass. Corin had his arm wrapped around Amdy's shoulders, cuddling into her.I was beginning to feel very jealous.br

"Hello children. I see that you've had a productive day." Amdy chuckled and got up to pick up the cereal bowls that had not been picked up all day yesterday to the kitchen, leaving me and Corin alone with the T.V.br

"Where in the name of hell have you been all night? Me and Amdy were really worried." Obviously not too worried because Corin never took his eyes off the telly.br

I thought for a few moments on whether I should tell him about the muggers and Kurt. Finally I decided that I would leave Kurt out and just tell him about the muggers, "I was nearly mugged," Corin's head whipped round to look at me but before he could say anything I was up on my feet and making my way to the kitchen, "But a nice old lady helped me and gave me some clothes to wear as mines were soaked and I just got a cab back. Hey did Amdy just call me, I'll go see." I walked through the hall to the kitchen leaving a flabbergasted Corin behind.br

"Heya babes. I heard about the muggers through the wall and something tells me that you were telling porkies." Amdy had this god like gift of always being able to see right through my lies.br

"Oh.ok!" I lowered my voice and got closer to Amdy so Corin wouldn't hear the same way that Amdy had, "I wasn't saved by an old lady. A very nice and sweet guy saved me. And the very weird clothes that I am wearing now are his.their actually pretty comfy." Amdy sensed girlie gossip about boys so she shut the kitchen door and sat me down with a look on her face that made me believe that she hadn't heard a good bit of gossip in a long while.br

"So...tell me. What's his name? What's he like? Where's he from? Is he hot?" I couldn't help but laugh but I soon as I did I clamped my hand over my mouth, "Oh come on Holly, I haven't had a good girlie chat with you in ages. And you hardly ever wanna talk about a guy you like. Please." This just made me want to laugh even harder.br

When I calmed down I began to tell her, "His name is Kurt Wanger. He is very sweet and shy at times to the point of it being annoying cause when you ask him a question it's like trying to get blood out of a stone. He's from Munich in Germany and yes.I suppose he is hot." I smiled to myself as I said this. I had been a little attracted to him despite the way he looked but I think it was his personality that made him the most attractive.br

"German accents are always the nicest. I mean when I was going out with Leapold-" I cut in half way through her sentence as I just had to tell her, "He's a mutant." Amdy said nothing and just let me go on talking.br

"He has blue skin with beautiful patterns that he scored into it himself, one for every sin. He's Catholic. He has pointed ears like an elf's on Lord of the Rings, pointed, brilliantly white teeth. A tail, two toed feet and three fingered hands. And..and these beautiful honey-amber eyes. When he looked at me it felt like he could see and read my soul. Also he is a massive Errol Flynn fan and has massive amounts of pirate novels." Amdy did nothing but smile, "Your not shocked or anything are you?"br

I waited for Amdy to start screaming, saying that I was mad and never to see him again. But instead of doing that she just smiled, "He sounds nice. You going to go and see him again?" I knew that Amdy would understand and not tell anyone. We had been friends ever since we were born and our mothers had been in the next beds to each other in the maternity ward all those years ago in Ireland.br

I was already to answer but then found that I had none. I hadn't thought about whether or not I would go back and see him, "Well I suppose I should. After all these are his clothes and I think I should be polite and have them washed and then take them back myself. Besides.he seemed awfully lonely." Amdy again did nothing but smile knowingly. I hadn't had any real friends in a long time and even in the few short hours I had spent with Kurt, I felt that we both needed a friend.br

I lay on my makeshift bed in the back room of the church. Things had been all to quiet since Holly had left as her laughter when I told jokes did no longer ring above the rafters. The place was as dead, and excuse the pun, as a church during weekdays. I couldn't seem to get comfortable among the blankets and pillows that I used for a bed so I decided to practise my old routine from the circus on the rafters. I hadn't had a decent workout in ages and I desperately needed to burn some energy.br

I teleported to the rafters and began my old routine that was a mixture of spins, leaps, back flips and twists. As I did my demanding acrobatics, I had no idea that two emerald green eyes were watching me with delight. I only knew Holly was even there when she began to clap like crazy while whistling and whooping. I jumped onto the rafter nearest to me and looked down on her smiling face. I smiled back down at her the teleported down so that I was right in front of her. She jumped back when I appeared but I just smiled when I saw her smiling back.br

"That was fantastic Kurt! Really amazing."br

"Danke schon, sie sind zu freundliech." I smiled inwardly when she gave me a very confused look. I then realised that I had slipped back into German, "Sorry, I meant zhank you, you vords are kind." I then noticed the bags that were hooked on her arms, "Vhat are in zhe bags fraulein?" I asked as she placed them down on the floor and crouched down. When she came back up she held out the spare clothes I had given her. They had been cleaned and pressed.br

"I had them cleaned. It was the least I could do, you did save my life. Oh and my flatmate wanted me to give you these," she reached into another one of the bags and pulled out a red, plastic Tupperware box, "She baked you some double chocolate chip cookies and made some blackberry muffins as a sort of a thank you." I took the box out of her hand and took one of the cookies out, shoving it in my mouth. "Tell her danke schon from me az zhey are very gud!."br

"Don't worry I will. Hey I brought you some food and some more candles for the altar. Last time I was here I noticed that you were low on them. There's also some sage and rosemary scented ones too. You know, to help this place smell a little better" I smiled and took the bags from her and took them into the very shabby kitchen, which she followed me to. She sat down at the old wooden table as I began to put things away and she read the paper that I had left open at the entertainment page. "Cool the Boston Theatre and Circus groups are coming together and doing a few showings of the Circballet Eclipse! I saw that when I was only holiday to Blackpool in England when I was a little girl. I loved it." She squealed.br

"Vhen I was 18 and with zhe Munich Circus I was one of zhe zhree clowns. Very fun zhat was." I began juggling oranges around and she clapped again when I finished and bowed with circus flare. br

We both stayed silent for a few heart beats until Holly spoke, "Would you like to go see it?" I had no idea what so ever as to what answer I would give her. I then decided on the most obvious one, "Yes I would like to go but I would be too frightened to as I may scare a lot of people. And I would never want that."br

Holly had an expression that told me she was in devious thought. I could almost see the cogs and screws turning in her brain as it worked out a plan. I didn't know whether to be afraid or intrigued. Finally after what seemed like hours of awkward silence Holly spoke, "What if I gave you some of my mate Corin's clothes along with a hat, shades and a long black coat and boots.do you think you could go then?br

There are no translations needed because when ever Kurt speaks German he says what it is in English but here it is anyway:br

Danke schon, sie sind zu freundliech means Thank you, your words are kindbr

Danke schon means thank youbr

Fraulein means Msbr
