Okay, next chapter just for all you who's reviewed. And it took me a while to get back into this story so you better be grateful! Anyway, the beginning of this kinda sucks- I got off to a rocky start, but it gets better as it goes. I hope... Heh. And I'm kinda making this up as I go so I really have no idea where this story is headed.
Kim emerged from the kitchen only a few minutes later bringing a small bowl. The boy looked up. Although he couldn't see what was in the bowl, he could smell it. Chicken soup. Boy, it smelled good... Suddenly the already painful ache in his stomach flared and he tried to scramble up frantically to take the bowl. He was so hungry.
"Hey hey!" Kim exclaimed a bit, suddenly raising the bowl high and out of the fuzzy boy's reach. "Chill out and wait a moment!" She was startled. Only a few minutes ago the blue mutant was barely moving and looked rather sick. Now he was practically jumping on her!
Her mother almost screamed but somehow withheld it and remained where she was, though ever muscle in her body tensed.
But Kurt had no intention of waiting a moment. Once standing, he was almost an entire head taller than the girl (it was quite amazing that she had been able to carry him deadweight all the way home) and he easily snatched the soup bowl in his own three fingered hands, barely managing to get it without spilling the whole thing. Totally ignoring the spoon, he raised the edge to his lips and slurped. Hot! He suddenly gasped and Kim grabbed the bowl back before he could drop it and it shattered.
"See?" She scolded as the mutant gasped in air and choked a bit on the steaming broth. "I told you to wait!" But she quickly patted his back gently. "Hey, breathe..."
He did. Ouch, his mouth burned... The boy gave a pained moan of misery as he dropped his back against the wall (causing a major throbbing sensation in his arm) and slid back down to a sitting position. A few dry sobs racked his diaphram. Suddenly everything seemed hopeless. All because he was so hungry. So hungry... Why was he so hungry? How long had he been unconcious on the street with no one knowing that he'd be this starved? He clutched his stomach with his good hand.
Kim blinked. This boy really was starving... About the same questions that ran through the boy's mind, ran through her own. "Okay okay," She said gently and knelt down in front of him. "Here." The girl slowly held out the bowl to him, blowing on it slightly as she did so. "Just eat it slowly, okay? There's no need to shove it all down your throat."
Kurt managed a miserable nod as he took the bowl in his good fuzzy hand. This time he fumbled for the spoon but his arm was throbbing and the splint made it so hard, that he couldn't. He gave another groan of frusteration and looked up at Kim, rather pathetically.
"Oh, sorry." The brown haired girl looked slightly embarrassed as she took the blue pattened bowl back. "Here, come to the table." She instructed quietly as she stood and walked slowly back into the kitchen where a small round table sat in the corner.
Kim's mother, who had begun to relax, stiffened as she tensely awaited the blue demon boy to follow her daughter, but she still did nothing. "Kim, be careful!" She hissed though and but if her daughter heard, she didn't give a response.
The boy moved very slowly, first getting to his knees, shuffling a bit, then standing. He peeked through the doorframe. Kim beckoned with her hand for him to come in. "Here." She pulled out a chair for him. He sat and began to eat, more calmly this time.
Kim took another chair and watched him eat for several minutes. He downed the soup in no time and very soon was eagerly begging for more.
"Please, i'm so hungry. It tasted very good. I'm still hungry." He repeated slightly timid in his German accent, holding out the empty bowl to her as he still held the spoon in his hand, licking it a bit still to get the last bit of chicken flavor.
Kim nodded quickly, taking the bowl. She stood and moved to the stove where she had heated several cans on soup in a large steaming pot. She ladeled another bowlful and placed it before him, sitting down once again. "Careful it's still hot." She warned with a slightly amused grin.
Kurt blew on the soup as he ate. He ended up eated four bowls of that soup and he was still hungry after that, but Kim's mother had other ideas.
The woman was beginning to get over her fears, at least she figured the the boy wasn't going to murder them all. At least not yet. So a bit of her skills as a nurse took over. "No more." She had stated. "He'll get sick. Give him some more food later."
Kim nodded reluctantly. "She's right. Hey, come on. You can lay down on the couch." She nodded her head in general direction of the living room.
Kurt nodded slowly. "Okay..." Me muttered, feeling a little bit better now that he had some food in his stomach. Not enough as he was still very hungry, but enough to satisfy him for now. "Thank you." He said quietly as he stood, looking down at the floor.
Kim smiled and took his good arm with her hand to help him to the next room. "My name is Kim by the way." She said suddenly, realizing she hadn't intruduced herself yet. The boy merely nodded in response. "Are you alright?" Kim asked hesitantly as the blue mutant suddenly halted in his step, wincing a bit.
The boy nodded quickly and started again, but then stopped. He felt dizzy all of a sudden... Little back spots began to appear and disappear, swirling a bit in his vision. He closed his eyes. He would've put his hand to his head except the girl was holding his arm and his other arm was throbbing a bit too much.
Kim blinked. "Hey...?" The boy suddenly didn't look very good at all. Was it possible to tell that he had paled under all his blue fur? Because it certainly looked like it to her. She felt him waver slightly and her eyes widened and she quickly wrapped her other arm around his waist to steady him. Oh my... She suddenly blinked several times to remove the black spots from before her eyes. They just came out of nowhere!
"Kim, are you alright?" The mother peered through the kitchen doorway. She had gone ahead to spread out a sheet over the couch for Kurt to lay on but when they didn't come out she got worried. Her brown eyes widened as she saw them. "Kim!" The young boy looked like he was passing out right there on the spot, which didn't frighten her nearly as much as the sight if her daughter. Kim's eyes were half closed and her mouth hanging open- the girl looked as if she was drugged! And she was swaying and staggering right along side that mutant!
Kim let go of the boy's arm and groped helplessly for something to lean on. She found the counter which was looking rather blurry... To tell you the truth, everything was looking blurry... She couldn't focus on anything, and those black spots kept popping up giving her a dizzying, nasious feeling. For a moment she was afraid she was going to be sick.
Kurt felt dizzy... Kurt... Was that his name...? It sounded familiar in his confused jumble of thoughts. He felt that girl- kim was her name, wasn't it? Or maybe it was his... God, he couldn't think straight... That person next to him let go of his arm and he suddenly pitched forward a bit. He didn't fall... at least he didn't think he fell. No, he was still standing. A sudden image came to him, fuzzy and confusing around the edges but he saw enough- it was a girl. A small girl... with brown hair pulled up in a pony tail. She was so cute. She smiled and waved... No, she was screaming! He felt a scream of his own rise to his throat but suddenly the image was gone... Blacked out by those swirling blotches of fuzzy black... Or was it blue? He felt sick...
Kim's mother let out a frantic high pitched scream of terror as she frantically lunged forward, frantically grabbing Kim and dragging her away from that horrible creature. How could she have been so stupid as to leave her for a minute with that awful awful mutant in the house?! What had it done to her daughter?!
Kim felt herself lurch forward, yanked violently by some unseen force. She couldn't see anything... Blurred colors swirled around every which way in the most dizziest of fashions. She felt an odd noise emit from her parted lips... Was that a moan...? Limply her arm had dropped comepletely away from the blue boy. No, she needed to help him... He was falling... He was crying... Wasn't he? Where was she...? She couldn't remember...
Kurt did fall. Right down forward the moment that girl's... Person's touch left him... Numbly, he reached out both arms in front of him in the insticitve method of breaking his fall, but the moment his oddly shaped hands hit the tiled floor, they slid right out from under him allowing his jaw to hit next. Pain flared up in his left arm like a sudden fire. He tried to cry out, anguished, but the only sound made was a sputtered groan that didn't even sound like him... Black. All black... No more pain... He was out cold.
