CHAP 10
BAMF!
Kurt and Aurora appeared on the streets of the town, not much later.
"so..vhy did you suddenly vant to take a little trip?" Kurt watched her as her icy
blue eyes scanned the area. First flicking left, then right, then the middle of the street.
"I have to show you something, Kurt. I just need to find it first." As she continued
to scan the area, Kurt studied her features. Her scars, her blonde hair, blue eyes that could
cut steel. They now seemed so alien to him. What was it about her that always seemed to
engulf him?
"ah. This way." Aurora began walking in the direction she had indicated. Kurt
hesitated, and, for the first time, wondered whether to trust her.
"Kurt....you wanted to know. Now I'm giving you the chance. Are you going
to take it, or what?" she turned around and eyed him sharply.
"ja,ja, sorry.I vas just..y'know." He put his hands behind his back and
twisted uncomfortably. Her eyes widened in expectation. Somewhat reluctantly, he
followed her, and not a word was exchanged between them. Finally they reached a
graveyard, which was one of the last places Kurt had expected to end up when he
ventured with her that night. She approached an uncommonly large headstone, and wiped
away the fresh rainwater from the engraving on it.
"Kurt....meet my mom. Mom, Kurt." Kurt leaned over and looked at the
engraving.
"McCarthy...you have a last name..." Kurt muttered, running his three
fingers over the stone. " vhen did she..."
"die?"
"vell....yeah."
"Dunno....I just know it wasn't too long ago. I attended her funeral. You
should have seen the looks on some of those old rich ladies' faces! Priceless."
"Aurora....aren't you upset about-y'know.."
"My mom? Why should I be?"
"She's your mom." Kurt took her hand. She yanked it away and her eyes clouded
over.
"My mom? She's not my mom. She gave up being my mother when she tossed
me over to the government." Aurora turned to the grave with a wild look in her eyes.
"I was six years old! Dammit, Mom!" She kicked the dirt, and wailed angrily. It
sounded inhuman, and this scared Kurt.
"Aurora...how did you find out your mother was dead?" he took her hands and
held them tightly.
"you know what? I don't know. I'm serious, I just.....maybe that explosion
hit me harder than I thought last year, huh? Oh god, Kurt." She sobbed and fell to the
ground. "I'm only trying to find out who I am..w-what I am! But every time I get
close to the truth, something happens...I lose my memory, or someone dies...or
like this time, I lose my memory AND someone dies. What luck, huh? WHY WON'T
GOD JUST LET ME FIND MYSELF?"
"maybe he has other plans for you, liebchen."
"Plans...so he planned for me to lose my memory? For my mom to die just as
I'm about to find her? God, I can't even remember what happened to my hands." Kurt
hesitantly placed his hand on her shoulder. The ice around her heart was melting. He
could feel it. He gently brushed her hair from her eyes. She looked up at him, and his
heart skipped a beat. It was her. The girl he had known, and fell in love with just a year
ago. It was his Aurora. She no longer seemed inhuman, or different, She was herself. He
turned her face to his, and whispered
"It's okay...I'll help you vith..vhatever you want." He pulled her to him, and
time seemed to linger for a moment. Finally, in what seemed like forever, his lips touched
hers, and they were wrapped up in a kiss that had been soulfully missed by both of them.
Aurora broke away.
"I don't think I can do this.." A tear slid down her cheek.
"Aurora..."
"no, Kurt. I can't..I just can't.." with that, she fled into the night. Kurt
dashed after her, but lost her at a busy street. He quickly teleported across, but it was too
late...she was gone.
