CHAP 9
The next day a heavy fog loomed over the mansion. Kurt stared out his window,
wondering what to do. It was true; he had her back, but was it really her? She had
changed. A lot. And there was something wrong. He just knew it. She couldn't have just
magically gotten sliced up hands, and a few fractures...right? He felt the need to pray
again. He had been praying a lot. Ever since Aurora had gone away a year ago. And
going to church. The church he'd found her at. Secretly he'd always hoped she'd come
back to that church, but no such luck. He saw her in his head even now. Why was she so
intoxicating? Suddenly there was a loud bang on the mansion doors that snapped Kurt out
of his trance and back into the real world. He brushed his blue/black hair back and, as
casually as possible so as not to show he was quite perturbed, opened the door.
"hey dhere.came to see if the girl was doin' ok. Nobody called me yet." Remy
stood in the doorway with his usual cocky smile.
"Probably 'cause everyone is still asleep." Kurt snapped.
"yeah, dat could be it."
"Vell.. the girl's doing fine. You can go now." Kurt began to shut the door when
Remy jammed his foot in it.
"Y'all right? You look a paler blue than usual, mon ami."
"I'm good. Bye." Kurt tried to shut the door again, but Remy was too strong and
held fast.
"What about Rogue? How's she doin'?"
"Ah'm bettah' than evah', swamp rat." A voice came from the stairs and caused
both men to turn and look. Rogue tromped down the stairs and looked Remy directly in
the eyes.
"why you here, Cajun? Now Ah KNOW it's not 'cause a' me."
"t'see how the girl's doin'. She was in pretty bad shape when I brought her in."
Remy replied.
"what girl? Have ya' finally gone completely insane?" Kurt just watched on. Hey,
Rogue had a right to know, too. Who was he to stop the truth from being revealed?
"Aurora, y'know.de girl!"
"Aurora? You've lost your little mind, swamp rat! She's gone!"
" What? She died? Oh god."
"yeah..she passed away a year ago in that huge explosion!"
"oh! No, mon chere. She did not die. Believe me."
"yeah? Well then where is she?" Rogue stood, hands on hips. Kurt was growing
bored of their bickering. This was enough. Kurt heaved a sigh and pointed to the medical
wing.
"in there." He said coolly, trying not to show his heartbreak.
"w-whaaaaat?" Rogue looked at him as if he'd grown a tail..oh wait.he
already had one.
"she is alive. She managed to escape the explosion somehow, but then she got
hurt, and Remy brought her back." Kurt explained.
"that little witch! How could she keep herself from you?? Ah'm gonna' go give
her a piece a' my mind!" stormed Rogue.
"no, Rogue..she did it to protect me. She never meant any harm. She
just..didn't want to cause any more trouble here." Kurt took hold of her clothed arm.
Rogue muttered something about 'causing trouble for HER', and stalked off.
"'ey Rogue!" Remy called from the doorway. She turned and glared. "See ya'
later, Chere." Rogue made a fist, and walked up the stairs.
"Anyvays, Aurora's fine. See you around." Kurt finally managed to slam the door
on Remy. He sunk to the floor and silently wept. She was NOT okay..
"Kurt." Kurt looked up at the sound of his name. Aurora stood over him.
"you still teleport, right?" She looked him up and down not showing an ounce of
sympathy.
"yeah..vhy?"
"feel like takin' a little trip?"
