putting songs in chapter...lalang I love musicals! This song they will sing
belongs to the writer of Honk (our play) There cute and I think they can
blend in the story to put out a little more drama. Enjoy...
Kurt in the meantime was not that sleepy. His mind was filled with them family issues after his teacher assigned them to write a report about his family. I was no big for him, just write down how his foster parents took him in and raised him very well with their hearts that brought him up to the man he was today. But again the word "mother" busted through his head again. He's been trying to get over it but it never really worked just like Pep with her parents who were murdered. She was in a harder situation than he was. Some nights she heard her cries from the other room but dared not to bother for the child can turned out to be very violent and can lose control of her powers. It was a very scary thing but sometimes he would risked his life and teleport to her room and calm her down. A lot of thoughts were in his head now and couldn't concentrate with his homework. He gave up and rested on his bed with his furry arms behind his head and went deeper into his thoughts. He looked at his clock and saw it was quarter to 1. Time had been running fast. He decided it was lights off and hello darkness. Before his eyes were closing he hummed a tune that was like a lulabye but couldn't get the words out of his mouth now.
"Mother vat should I do now?"
(Mystique as a raven flew around his room without him noticing and let out her singing voice from her beak)
HOLD YOURE HEAD UP HIGH!
(Kurt could've sworn he heard a voice but ignored it and let the words out of his mouth)
Kurt:
IT'S NOT ALWAYS SO EASY...
Both:
TO HOLD YOURE HEAD UP HIGH!
(Ok I know he has to sing it with his German accent but I decided not, since the words might be confusing for you)
Kurt:
AND APPEAR BRIGHT AND BREEZY
I THOUGHT DREAMS WERE MADE FOR A REASON
BUT HOPE SEEMS TO FADE WITH EACH SEASON
AND MAMA YOU SEEM SO FAR AWAY...
Raven:
HOLD YOURE HEAD UP HIGH!
(Kurt realizes someone is singing with him but couldn't guess.)
Kurt:
IT'S YOURE VOICE! IT'S YOURE VOICE THAT I HEAR!
(He tries to search for the voice by walking around with his head up high)
Raven:
EVERYDAY WILL SEEM TO BE MORE EMPTY THAN THE LAST
EVERY WHERE THE SUN ONCE SHOWN...
(Kurt continues singing with his head up high)
Kurt:
HOLD YOURE HEAD UP HIGH!
Raven:
A SHADOW HAS BEEN CAST!
Kurt:
AND ALL THE WHILE WANDERING...
Raven:
EVERY MOMENT THAT YOURE GONE
IS A MONENT...
Kurt:
REMINISING, I KEEP WONDERING...
Raven:
DARK AND GREY
EVERYDAY TEAR A MOTHER CIRES...
Kurt:
IF SHE'S MISSING ME
MAYBE IN THE WAY...
Raven:
IS A DREAM THAT'S WASHES AWAY!
Kurt:
I MISS HER!
(Mystique hovers to the ground and reviels herself to Kurt as her mother. He's shocked but doesn't do anything. Slowly they walked towards each other)
Both:
JUST KNOWING YOU WERE OUT THERE
THAT HELPED ME TO GET BY
AND NOW WERE REUNITED
I CAN HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH!!!
Slowly smiles form in their faces with happy tears streaming from their eyes. It couldn't be a dream, it couldn't be. It's like his wished came true. His real mother was backed and they were to live happily ever after but what would Rogue think.
"Son." Raven choked with tears.
"Mother!" Kurt cried and hugged his mother that ended them up on the ground. Mystique didn't mind and was glad she recieved her first hug from her only son.
"Kurt, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for being such a bad mother!" she sobbed in his chest.
"No it's ok! I'm just glad you came vack!" he hugged his mother tighter.
"I'm just glad you two are alright!"
"Me and Rogue vere both fine." he said happily.
"You've grown up so fast I can't believe your really my son!" she looked at his grown up son.
"And I can't velieve your my mother." He smiled in return.
"Kurt I'm sorry for abandoning you too long after all these years."
"Well..."
"And betraying you and almost killed Pepper!" she cried more and more.
Kurt was speechless. "You tried to kill Pepper?" she couldn't tell if he was angry or not.
"I didn't mean to I thought it was right thing to do cause she was occupying you two and..." her mouth was covered by three furry fingers.
"It's ok i unzerstand now." He turned his face away.
"No you don't understand she helped me...she helped me...this!"
"She did?"
"Yes she's a wonderful child...bless her...bless her!" she fell flat face on the floor and created a puddle of guilty tears on the rug.
Her face was lifted up and was eye leveled with Kurt. "Mother you should always hold your head up high."
"Yes I should but aren't you angry?"
"I should be, vut you know this isn't a good time to be." He grinned.
"Thank you Kurt, that child has been such a help to me." She hugged him and Kurt accepted her apologies.
"Mother why did you do those things?" he was really curious.
"I shouldn't have! I'm a foolish mother I shouldn't have!" her sobs were getting worse again and Kurt had never seen her like that.
Kurt knew how Mystique felt and couldn't blame her for everything. He knew she was used a lot and never got what she wanted. He knew he could have been a better mother to them but she always lost chances. He forgave her but not everything especially when she tried to kill Pep. Now everything was clear to him, the knife incident, how Pep nearly died in the storm and Muriel being so close to Rogue and him. It all made sense now but he dared not to say a word about it. He noticed Mystique had stopped crying and his shirt had a big wet spot.
"I love you." He whispered to her ear.
"And I love you more than ever son." He she hugged him tighter and wouldn't let go.
"Even though Rogue says she hates you, I know deep down she really loves you." He admitted.
After a long minute or two of Mother and son reunion she got up and looked straight at the open window. "Kurt I'm glad I got to see you one last time." She frowned.
"Vhat do you mean!"
"The reason why I came here was to get close to you and Rogue...and..."
"And vhat?"
"It was a mistake for me almost killing that child. She was not so bad once you get to know her." She smiled.
"Ja." He forced a smile.
"And the last...you'll know by tomorrow." She walked towards the window.
"But you can't leave! You just arrived!" Kurt pulled her by the arm.
"I don't belong here son."
"Of course you do! Ze Professor vont mind!"
"Maybe, but there are a lot of things out there in this cruel world and debts I need to pay."
"Like vhat?" Kurt was already sweating and hiding his tears.
"To many to count but they all must be done. Kurt I hope you understand."
Kurt didn't say anything but gave his mother one last big hug. "I'll never forget you." He whispered again.
"And I'll never forget you too son I'm sorry I have to leave."
"Don't leave us!" he pleaded.
"Oh but I must son it's for my own sake and maybe yours and Rogue's."
"Vhats gonna happen to you? Vill I ever see you again?" He knew he couldn't hold the tears much longer so he let it out.
"Maybe one day I can visit."
"Please do!"
"I'll try son." She promised.
She stood up and was ready to transform into a Raven. "Vait!" Kurt stopped her. He grabbed the picture of Rogue and him and gave it to her to treasure. "Take zis and alvays thing avout us ja?"
"Of course." She took the picture and smiled at her children acting like siblings in it.
"Well I guess its goodbye for now." He sighed.
"Remember son take care of yourself, especially your sister. Don't go into the evil side and always do what is right, promise me Kurt."
"I promise." He crossed his heart.
"And one last thing, tell Pepper 'thank you'. She's such a special child almost like a daughter to me."
"Zont worry i vill." He smiled.
"And always remember to hold you're head up high!" Were her last words when she shape shifted into a black raven, flapped her wings and took off out the window in the starry night until she was out of sight.
Kurt:
JUST KNOWING YOU WERE OUT THERE
THAT HELPED ME TO GET BY
AND NOW WERE REUNITED
I CAN HOLD MY HOLD MY HEAD UP HIGH!!!
The next day...
"Kurt wake up, Its' me Rogue!" his sister found him sleeping on the floor.
"Huh vhat happened?"
"Ah had this dream see, Mystique was in it. It was weird, we were singing Emotionless and she knew the words and we wah face tah face aftah and then she turned into ah bird and flew out mah window!"
"It vasn't a dream sis, it vas real." Kurt explained.
"No way." She nodded her head.
"I'm not kidding zis time, she came to my room last night and we sang something too and I had a talk vith her."
"Like what?"
"I'll tell you later sis." He stood up and wrapped his arm around his sister (not a part of her skin was shown). "C'mon its breakfast time!" he teleported them out of the room and all was left was a cloud of brimestone.
In the kitchen...
"Have you heard someone broke in to Cerebo last night and erased some files." Bobby announced.
"Like who would do such a thing?" Kitty took a bite form her vegetarian sandwich.
"I dunno but it happened sometime in the night." The ice boy explained.
"Were not sure who did it but sensed it was one of you!" Logan entered the room with a dirty look on his face.
Everyone gulped and kept quiet. The whole table was complete except there was no sign of Kurt, Rogue, Pep and Muriel.
"Hey has anyone seen Muriel?" Jean asked.
"Hadn't seen that kid since yesterday morning." Scott recalled.
Kurt and Rogue suddenly appeared with weird looks on the faces. "Not a vord." He whispered to Rogue.
"Got yah." She answered.
"Sup siblings." Sam greeted.
"What's eatin ya? Ray asked.
"Nothin." They both answered at the same time.
"Hey have you heard, someone's been in to Cerebo and erased some files." Roberto told them the latest news.
A thought ran through Kurt's head and knew right away what Mystiques third reason was but for some reason didn't want to blurt it out.
Pep finally arrived with a innocent and sad look on her face.
"What took you so long?" Jamie asked.
"Rough night I guess." She rubbed her eyes.
"Oh there you are kiddo you've been missing a lot." Tabby spoke.
"Like what?"
"Oh you know someone broke into Cerebo and erased some files." Amara explained this time.
Hearing this Pep just pretended she didn't know anything about it. "Oh really?"
"Logan said it was one of us who did it but he's not sure." Amara added.
Pep gulped. "Oh that sounds creepy.
"You bet and have you seen Muriel around?" all eyes turned to her.
Pep was ready to say what she prepared for. "Well Muriel told me to thank you guys for taking care of her especially Rogue and Kurt. She also told me that she has a life out there that she has to...continue with. She didn't feel like belonged here anyway so she left." She sounded as innocent as she could be.
I guess they all bought it. The four popular "w" words popped out from their mouths. "What?" "Why?" "When?" "Where?"
Pep just ignored them and grabbed a seat. She was thinking maybe one day she would admit what she did with Cerebo last night. Hey it was a favor she couldn't resist. Even if she was found out and given a whole month of extra chores she didn't care but she had to think twice about that. Her eyes quickly turned to Rogue and Kurt and was surprise to see the siblings smiling at her like a thank you. Pep answered them with a wink. "Mission accomplished!"
So what you think. Really sad ha, especially for Mystique. I love her and knew she always had a good side after all for her children! Pep is always there to the rescue. Hope you enjoyed this fic. I'll be doing another one soon. Don't worry peeps. Thanks for reading and the reviews.
