Chapter 12

Kathy did a back handspring. It was practice for cheerleading. Tobius and Kurt sat on the bleachers.

"She's good." Kurt said. Tobius was to busy playing tetres on his cell phone. Tobius looked up and noticed Kurt staring at Kathy with a dreamy look.

"Wait till I tell Amanda." Kurt snapped to attention

"Vat do you mean?"

"Your falling for her. You know it."

"Am not. I'm loyal to Amanda, and Kathy is mein freund."

"Yeah, just your best friend, that loves to get close to you. You want Kath, you want her bad."

"Esel-vollständig" (awhole) Kurt swore at him in German.

"âne entier" Tobius said the same thing in French.

"How do you know vat Esel-vollständig means?" Kurt asked

"Lucky guess, but how do you know what âne entier means?" Tobius asked. Kurt shrugged

"They both mean arse whole." Kathy said

"How do you know zat?"

"I take German, and my mom was born in France, and called me that, so I just know it." Kathy took a drink out of her water bottle and headed back to the squad.

"Sie ist schön, aber niemand müssen kein überhaupt wissen." (She is beautiful , but no one must ever no know.) Kurt said to himself in German quietly.

"What?" Tobius said

"Nothing." Kurt said in a frantic voice. Tobius looked at him, then went back to playing tetres. "Vat time is it?" Kurt asked Tobius

"Hmm, 3:58. Practice is almost over." Tobius said as he looked at his watch

The coach blew her whistle. The squad went to change. Kathy walked up the bleachers and sat next to Tobius and Kurt. "I could go for a cold smoothie, cheese fries and a burger." Kathy leaned back with her eyes closed.

"Hey, I could too." Kurt said with glee. Kathy sat back up and gave Kurt a weak hit on the head. "Hey! Vat did I do?"

"Blue boy." Kathy said laughing. She got up to go change.

"OH MY GOD!" one of the cheerleaders screamed. Kathy looked up and ran. Tobius looked at Kurt, then he morphed into a cheer leader and went to the girls locker room.

Kathy saw what they were all screaming about. It was a body, or the remains of one. The corpse was half eaten. Kathy recognized the body. It was the guy who called her a freak.

Kurt looked to see what was happening. He was alone, since Tobius went undercover as a cheer leader to see what happened. Kurt walked down from the bleachers. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a large object turn the corner. He spun around to see what it was, but it was gone. Kurt walked to the door and peered through the door way. He saw a bipedal beast run away.

"Vat za hell?" Kurt ran after the thing.

It was fast, but it couldn't go to fast, otherwise it would slip on the linoleum. It made a sharp turn around the corner, but ended at a dead end. Kurt stopped. The beast turned around and looked at him in the eye. It lowered it's head to show off it's frill of horns. Then it lifted up it's head and gave out a horrible screech. Kurt cupped his hands over his ears. The beast ran toward him. It kicked him in the back. He fell onto his stomach, the jolt made his image inducer fizzle out. He got up. His tail thrashed back and forth violently. The beast was amused with it's new toy. It ran to Kurt yet again. It head butted him in the stomach, causing him to throw up. He looked up and saw the beast glare him It ran toward him again.

BAMF

Kurt teleported into the janitors closet. He breathed hard. His hands shook. He took a deep breath to try to calm himself down. He saw a shadowy image of the thing in front of the frosted glass. He backed down, hoping the beast wouldn't see him. It did. Him moving was a fatal mistake. It thrust it's head threw the glass, as shards rained down on him. Kurt took a broom and hit the beast over the head with it. All it did was snap. This made the beast agitated. It made a deep throated scream at him. Kurt shoved the broken, but sharp broom handle into the beasts mouth. Blood flowed down the handle and onto Kurt's hand. Even though the beast was dead, he still kept a firm grip on the broom handle.

Kurt opened his eyes. He looked in horror at the head of the beast that was still in the broken window. He shook the glass shards off himself. He tapped his image inducer to see if it still worked. It did. He turned it on and a normal looking 16 year old boy appeared in his place. Kurt shoved the door open with all his strength. It was impossible. Instead he teleported out. He noticed his hand had a huge sharp of glass in it. Kurt pulled it out slowly, and winced in pain. He bit his lip to hold back the tears of pain.

Tobius ran to him, and Kathy followed.

"Kurt, are you okay?" Kathy asked

He nodded. Kurt closed his eyes and almost collapsed onto the floor. Tobius and Kathy caught him. Kathy noticed the deep cut on his hand. She took off her bandana that was on her head and wrapped it around his hand. She brushed his hair from his eyes. "Oh blue boy." Kathy stroked his cheek.

"No time for touchy feeling stuff. We got to get out of here before anyone shows up." Tobius said

"Right. Let's drag him to my car and take off." Kathy said

Kurt felt someone put their hand on his chest. He put his over theirs and opened his eyes. He saw Kitty looking down on him smiling. He looked around and saw that he was in his room. He sat up and felt a throbbing pain in his hand. He looked at his hand and saw ten stitches in it.

"Uggg." Kurt groaned. Suddenly it came back to him; the alien creature, him hiding in the closet, stabbing the beast in the throat. He became dazed and fell back to sleep.

"How is he?" Kathy asked Kitty

"Fine, but he fell back to sleep." Kitty walked to the door and looked back at her sleeping friend. "You know, he is pretty cute like that. Sometimes I wish that I was the lucky girl not Amanda."

Kathy smiled and said "He is cute, but envy gets you nowhere in life." Kathy walked past Kitty and sat down next to Kurt. His tail moved back and forth, making Jenna, the little alien dog, amused. Kawrel leapt on top of his sister Jenna. Kathy smirked. Alien or human, sibling always fight. Kawrel let out a yelp of pain as Jenna bit his tail. Kurt stirred and opened his eyes.

"Guten Morgen." Kurt said

"Hey Kurt. How ya felling?"

"I've felt better." Kurt sat upright on his bed. He winced. His whole body felt sore. "Vy did I go after za alien zing, vy me?"

"Because you let your inquisitive nature take control." Kathy smiled and rubbed his arm.

"Vat time is it?"

"You still have an hour before school."

"You mean I have to go?"

"It's only stitches, not like your hand was cut off, and he had to surgically put it back on. Besides, if you miss one day of school, your going to have a ton of homework." Kathy said. She got up and walked out of Kurt's room.
