Chapter 10- Where are thou Amanda?
"Hey Volfie? Vhere are ve going to land the jet?" I asked as we were nearing Los Angeles. I pressed my face to the window and watched the scenes below, waiting for him to answer.
"Anywhere we can, possibly a remote area in the forest." He answered after awhile.
"A forest? In Los Angeles? I'm thinking that's gunna be pretty far from Amanda's house." He kept staring ahead, ignoring me. I watched him for any signs of movement, and when there was none I settled back in my seat and continued looking out of the window.
"Elf? Did you tell your girlfriend when you would be arriving?"
"..." Damn! I knew I had forgotten something! "Y-yes?" I squeaked out. Wolverine finally turned to look at me; I waved and turned to the window. Keep Ignoring, like before...Ignore me....Ignore me...I turned my head slightly and saw that he was still looking at me.
"Not a good idea to lie Bub, I can smell your fear." He gave a whiff into the air to prove it
"F-fear? Vhat fear? I'm just excited to zee Amanda, 's all." More lying, stop yourself Nightcrawler! Stop digging your own grave!
"Whatever you say Elf."
"Um, ok. Zo vhere are you from?" I know this, but I'm trying to make small talk.
"You know where I'm from Elf." So much for that idea...I then jumped up as I saw that we were going to land. This is it! I'm going to see my Amanda soon! Well we landed, as Herr Logan said, in a remote area.
"This is great!" I threw my hands up in the air. "How are ve zupposed to get to Amanda's house!? We are in the middle of novhere!"
"Calm down Elf, we'll get there tomorrow in the morning."
"TOMORROW!!? Tomorrow!!? I've been waiting forever to see Amanda again! Please let's go now!" I whined. Wolverine snapped his head around and snarled.
"We are staying here for the night and that's that!!" I frowned and made a face at him. He pretended not to notice, but I could see his annoyance in his movements.
"Fine. Can I at least use the BlackBird's phone to call 'Manda?" I growled.
"We have a phone?" Logan growled back.
**~~**
"We have a phone?" I mocked Wolverine and held up the phone to the invisible Wolverine "Right here! Or vhat your strong animal senses couldn't pick it up?" I scowled and roughly dialed the number Amanda gave me over e-mail. It rang three times and finally got picked up by a *male* voice.
"Yea?"
"Um..hi? Is Amanda there?" I stumbled out.
"Yea 'Old on." I heard the voice shout Amanda's name and I almost began to shake in excitement.
"Hello?"
"AMANDA!!"
"KURT!! Hi! Where are you? Are you on your way? It's kind a late, but I'll stay up for you!"
"Heh, Volfie said that ve hafe to go in the morning. I think ve are in a forest near you though."
"That's so cool! I can't wait to see your fuzzy face again!"
"Ja! Neither can I!" I then paused and finally asked the question I had been wondering "Hey Manda? Who was that who picked up?"
"Huh? Oh you mean Stefan! My brother, 'member?"
"Ach, ja I 'member." I smiled and asked "zo vhat's up?"
"Nothing much, I've been waiting for you since forever! I'm glad I get to see you tomorrow! I-" suddenly Amanda's voice broke off and I could make out faint mumbling in the background.
"Amanda?" I questioned into the phone. I heard an exaggerated sigh and I heard Amanda's beautiful voice once again.
"Hey um Kurt? I have to go to bed now, my brother is forcing me, sometimes he just makes me feel so-argh!"
"It's ok, ve'll see each other tomorrow after all." I could hear Amanda's smile when she spoke back to me.
"Of course fuzzy! Good night!"
"Good Nacht!" I replied and slowly turned off the phone and sighed happily, tomorrow...well who can wait?
**~~**
I fluttered my eyes open and stretched my limbs as far as they would go. I heard a couple of 'cracks' and figured I must have slept wrong during the night. I scratched my head and yawned (A/N heh I just yawned as I wrote that) and looked towards Herr Logan's sleeping bag. It was all rolled up, I turned and looked at our whole camp…everything was picked up! I quickly got out of my sleeping bag and rolled it up with ease and sprinted across the camp to the jet. Before I could knock at the door, Logan came out.
"What took ya elf?"
"Vhy didn't you vake me? Vhat time is it!?"
"It's 7:06 Bub. I didn't wake ya 'cause I thought you wanted to sleep."
"Sleep!? Who needs sleep, come on let's go see Amanda!" I tried pushing him in the jet but he wouldn't budge, I frowned and bamfed in behind him. I then ran to the pilot seat and flipped on all of the controls.
"ELF!" I ignored him and was ready to fly out of here. Unfortunately Logan stopped me with a SNIKT of his claws. "Elf, stop! We're leaving the jet right here!" He popped his claws back in and walked out of the jet fuming. I my tail drooped and I dragged it behind me and slowly walked out of the jet.
As I got outside I saw Logan packing our stuff up and I laughed out loud. Logan glared at me and asked what was so funny.
"I would've left everything behind! 'Tis true! Love does make you blind!" I kept laughing until I realized I said love. Did I really love Amanda? I shrugged it off and went to help Herr Logan pick everything up.
**~~**
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"...now?"
"NO!"
I scowled and kept on following Herr Logan through the city, we had to hike out of the forest, because there wouldn't have been anywhere to put the jet here. I kept looking down at my feet and counting the cracks in the sidewalk. I guess I could've been sight-seeing but I wanted to see everything with my Amanda. My feet were so tired…anyway…334, 335, 336, 337-Oof!
"Ey! Vatch it!" Logan just stopped in front of a house without any warning! I then looked at the address on the house. Amanda! I pushed myself in front of Logan and ran up to the house and rang the doorbell. No answer. I then knocked on the door, again no answer. I rang the doorbell again and again no answer!
I fell to my knees and cried out. "Vhere are thou Amanda!?"
"She's obviously not here Bub." I cried.
"I know." I sniffled.
"Let's go into town and rent us a car." I nodded slightly and stood up to my feet.
"Ja, let's."
**~~**
"Now sir which car would you like? This one is very classy here, or here's a nice Jaguar."
My mind wandered off and I looked outside and saw a beautiful sword in the window across the street. I smiled and ran out of the door, and stuck out my tongue in relish. I even started to drool. I heard the roar of a motorcycle behind me.
"Whatchoo looking at, elf?" I kept on drooling without answering. "Elf?"
"I had one of these back home. My Vater always told me, how I wanted to be the swash-buckling hero, ever since he gave me my sword for the circus act." I smiled on how my Vater gave me a sworda that I could hold in my tail, since the handle was to small for my hands.
"Huh." Logan grunted and he hopped off his bike. "Come on Elf let's go inside." I gave him a confused glance and followed him inside.
**~~**
"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You are now officially my faforite teacher!" I hugged my new sword, in it's package of course, and kept on my thanks to Logan.
"Your welcome, ya needed something to fight back at enemies anyways. maybe I'll get Kitty something special later..." I widened my smile and started fantasizing. I can't wait for Amanda to see me handle this sword! I tried it out at the store and it was like it was meant for me!
"Danke Herr Logan! Danke!!"
**~~**
The phone still wouldn't pick up. I sighed and kept dialing.
"Hello?" I jumped up.
"Amanda! Vhere hafe you been!?" I asked angrily.
"I'm so sorry Kurt! Our next-door neighbor's daughter was stabbed to death last night. They had us taken in for questioning, my brother's still in their in fact."
"That's terrible! Give my consoles to your neighbor!" Poor young girl, killed at such a young age.
"I know! It's awful..." she gave a sniffle "..Kurt please come over now. I'm really sorry."
"Of course Amanda!"
**~~**
"AMANDA!" I jumped and gave her a big hug and twirled her around. She laughed with tears brimming in her eyes. She then stopped laughing and glanced at a point behind me. I saw a couple hugging and crying, the woman kept gasping for air and the man just squeezed her, both of their body's racked with sobs forming some sort of rythem.
"Her parents." Amanda whispered. I nodded sorrowfully and Logan grunted behind me.
"And they call us the monsters."
**~~**
