*WARNING: SHORT CHAPTER ALERT!
"Oh my god! What's happening? What's going on?" the author's sister exclaimed. The author rolled her eyes.
"If you would just let me finish my story in peace, you'd find out what's happening sooner. Leave me alone, and you will find out."
"Tell me! I promise, just tell me what's going on and I'll leave you alone to write."
"Okay, fine. You wanna know what's happening? Kurt is going to leap out of the story and start strangling the author's sister to death because she won't leave the author alone to write!" There was a few moments of utter silence.
"I'll just be leaving then."
"Good choice."
Kurt stared up at what he thought was Sara. In her place stood a creature, icy eyes blinking at him fearfully. She was turquoise-blue, with thin, webbed fingers and toes. A dark blue fin jutted out from above each elbow and thin blue tail was waving about behind her. She shrieked and pressed a button on her holo-watch, so she returned to her human state. Sobbing, she threw herself onto the bed. Kurt remained still on the floor, continuing to gawk at the girl. Finally he came to himself and stood up.
"I……uh, you…..er….should I…..go?" he asked awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. There was a pause in the crying, and Sara rolled over to face him. She gazed up with a tear-stained face and rubbed her nose.
"Please, don't tell anybody about me," she whispered, her voice trembling. She sat up. "It's awful, isn't it? This is why me parents sent me off to the carnival. They were afraid of what I was….and I couldn't bear to be rejected again." Kurt frowned, and sat beside her on the bed.
"Listen," he began. "I know what you're going through. It is hard for all of us, no? Humans fear what they don't understand."
"Yeh can't know what I'm going through. Yeh don't know what it's like, to be sent off to a freak show, laughed at by hundreds of people."
"Don't I?" he murmured to himself, absentmindedly feeling his holo-watch. Sara glanced down at his wrist.
"Why do yeh wear….?" Kurt looked up at her.
"Oh…I, uh….I should go. Don't worry, I won't tell anybody about what I saw." He gave her a small salute and a slight grin. She smiled back shyly, blushing a little bit. He nodded, then bamfed out of the room into his own.
"Oh, so Sara wears a watch because she has a freaky body too?"
"What the **** are you talking about? FREAKY BODY? If you say that again, you'll be the one with a freaky body once I'm done kicking your ***! Now **** off and go do something productive!" The author paused. "I'm swearing a lot!"
