CHAP11
"Logan! Ororo! Anyone! Help!" Kurt burst into the mansion, awaking everyone
within a ten-mile radius.
"Kurt! What is it?" asked Ororo, stumbling out of her room and rushing to the
young elf.
"Is the professor back, yet?"
"no, why? what's wrong?" Ororo looked concerned.
"Aurora..she ran, and..I don't know where she is!!! Help me, Storm!
Please!" His eyes pleaded with her. She glanced around quickly as Logan approached
them both.
"Alright, Kurt, Logan and I will go look for her. We haven't told anyone else, so
there's really no sense in waking anyone else up. We'll find her." She patted his shoulder
"I'll get dressed." Kurt started up to his room when Ororo grabbed him by the
shoulder, yanking him backwards.
"no, Kurt. You stay here. This is too big of an issue for you...we don't know
how dangerous she is at this point, she's obviously very unstable."
"Ororo, I'm going."
"Kurt..stay here. If I find out you left this mansion, you will be in big trouble,
understand?" Kurt nodded angrily, and stomped off to his room. When he finally heard
the X-jet leave, he bamfed outside.
"Figured I'd find you out here." He turned to face Kitty. She stood near a bush in
her pink nightgown.
"listen, Kurt, I am, like, so sorry."
"Keety, save it. Right now ve have to find Aurora." He put his hand on Kitty's
shoulder.
"Kurt..listen, maybe she's right, y'know? Like...maybe we should just leave
her alone. Kurt, you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped." She grabbed his
tail. He quickly yanked it away.
"Vell she's going to get help vhether she vants it or not. I'm NOT giving up on
her, Keety." He heaved a sigh and went traipsing off into the night.
"Kurt." Kitty whispered to the darkness. "be careful."
"Damn that Kurt. Damn him, damn him." Aurora muttered to herself, tromping
through the forest. "How could I allow myself to..to..AUGH!" she threw her hands
up in despair. A large tear rolled down her cheek, and she caught it in her hand, and
brushed it away. She glanced around the forest once or twice. She had been there
before..when she had run, and Kurt had found her. Though she remembered it, it all
seemed like a dream to her. She clenched a clump of her golden hair in between her
fingers.
"Why? Why am I pushing him away?"
"I don' know, chere...but I know what you're goin' through." A husky voice
came from behind her. She glanced at the familiar face of none other than Remy Lebeau.
"get outta' here, Cajun." She snarled, using Rogue's nickname for him, and
throwing a chunk of wood in his direction.
"what the hell are you doing here, anyway? You got tired of stalking Rogue or
something? Jesus!"
"you know...Jean is a telepath, petite...she prolly knows, too."
"swell. Happy day for Jean." She grumbled and shoved her hands in her pockets,
forcefully. Remy took a seat on the log beside her. She scooted over, farther away from
him.
"Chere..I t'ink sometimes you push away the ones you love the most cause you
don't want them to get hurt...at least...I t'ink dat's what makes me do it."
"what are you mumbling about, now?" she looked up at him harshly and shivered
in the cold.
"Rogue....Remy disappeared on her, and now..I don't t'ink I'll ever have the
chance t'...t' make it up t' her." Remy removed his jacket and placed it over Aurora's
shoulders. She turned her face, trying to hide her pain, but Remy saw it clearly.
"Remy...." Aurora sighed, holding back tears. " Rogue is...a good
person. She tries to hide it, but...listen....don't punish her like this....she loves
you....and she needs you.: the words reverberated in her head. She understood. "Sorry
Remy, I gotta' go..oh.thanks for your help!" she turned and kissed his cheek.
"help?" he looked at her, puzzled. She tossed his jacket to him, she smiled and
turned away into the darkness. "y'know chere...mebbe you should take your own
advice sometimes, no?" he smiled, and sauntered off in the opposite direction of the way
she had run.
"Vater user im Himmel.
Gehelilgt werde dein Name.
Dein Reich komme.
Dein Wille geschehe wie im Himmel so auf Erden.
Unser tägliches Brot gib uns heute,
und vergib uns unsere Schuld,
wie auch wir vergeben unsern Schuldigern,
und führe uns vom Bösen.
Amen." Kurt's voice echoed in the empty church. He carefully lit a candle, and knelt
down once more.
"Kurt?" a voice other than his bounced off of the church walls. He turned. She
was there. God had answered him, and she was there. Her hair fell loosely around her
shoulders, tousled, and windblown. Her eyes bore right through him. To his very soul.
"Aurora? How did you know I vas here?"
"I had a feeling." She placed her hand on a pew, trying to balance herself, to put
on a front that she was not afraid. She looked up at him and a tear slid down her cheek
and plopped on her chest.
"Kurt..I'm not afraid anymore." Suddenly she broke into a sprint and lunged
into his arms. He picked her up and spun her around.
"Vhat...vhat happened vhile you vere gone?"
"ran into a friend...he....made me stop and take a good look at myself.
God, Kurt..I'm so sorry...I just...."
"shhhhh...qviet, dear. All is forgiven. All is forgiven."
