Changes - Chapter Two
Nightcrawler's pov
The girl looked at me before she passed out. She had the most startling light green eyes I've ever seen, besides my own that is.
She is a very beautiful girl, but the cuts and scars adorning her body bother me. How could someone hurt a girl that beautiful? What did she do to deserve it?
I carry her onto the X-jet, she seemed to clutch onto my vest as if it were the one thing keeping her from dying or something.
I could tell she had been through a lot for someone so young. Her scars and open wounds proved a small portion of it.
I could, also, tell that she was scared. Her eyebrows were furrowed in worry and I could see that she still felt the pain,
even a little bit of it.
I look up to see Jean looking at me in a worried way. Jean knew I was afraid for this new mutant, ever since the professor told us that she was in a poor state of health.
I could see, now, why Professor Xavier said she was in a 'poor state of health'. She was malnourished andshe seemed to have a cold. The girl seemed to be very fragile and I was afriad that I would hurt her.
"Kurt, are you alright? You seem to be spacing out a bit." Storm asked as she flew the jet.
"Yes, yes, I'm fine. Although, I don't think Jade will be fine." I replied and Jean turns and looks at me.
The red-head walks over toward me and kneels down before me. She takes Jade's wrist in between her fingers to check her pulse. Jean's eyes widened a bit when she felt it.
"Her pulse is out of control." Jean said and she laid a hand across Jade's forehead and 'tsk'ed. "She's running a fever.
You'd think someone would try to take care of someone so young, especially when they're sick."
"Jade is 19-years-old, not 14, Jean." Rogue said and Jean looked at the power-snatching girl.
I looked down at Jade face, which had contorted in pain. I brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face and she clutched my vest tighter, obviously scared.
We arrived at the institute not long after that and I teleported the broken girl to the infirmary. I set her down, gently, on one of the tables and she groaned.
I felt an undeniable urge, the urge to kiss her soft, pale lips. I resisted it, though, I didn't think God would want me to do that. I didn't want to take advantage of a hurt girl, especially when she didn't know me.
Jade's eyelids flickered a bit and she rolled onto onto her right side, her back facing me. I saw four, long blood lines formed on the back of her shirt. They seemed fresh and I knew that was why she had been in pain for so long. It was because I was stupid and didn't feel the claw marks and held her with pressure on them, making her stay in pain.
I could hear her whimper and I backed into the shadows, predicting that she would wake up soon. I didn't want her to see me. I am a monster and she doesn't need to be scared to death as soon as she wakes up from her pain-filled nap.
I was right about her waking soon because she sat up, holding herself up shakily with her hurt arm. I wanted to help her, she seemed so weak.
I saw the girl look around frantically, not knowing where she was. The teenager gasped and laid back down, curling up into a very small ball.
I started to take a step forward, to see if she was alright, but I tripped over the leg of a table and she jerked her head up and looked my way.
"Who's there?" She asked, but I didn't answer. "I can see you, now, where am I?"
"You're in Xavier's Institute for Gifted Young People. It's a school for mutants. You're in the infirmary." I answered in a low voice and she looked down.
"How did you know?" She whispered and I stared at her.
"Professor Xavier found you using a super-computer called Cerebro. He doesn't know what the full extent of your powers are, but he wanted to find you, to help you." I said and she sighed.
"Step into the light. I can't see you." Jade said and I shook my head.
"No. I'm fine where I am." I replied and she swung her legs over the side of the table and faced me with a pain-filled grimace decorating her face as she held her ribs with her free arm.
"Please. I wish to see your face." Jade said and I looked down, I couldn't keep my identity from her much longer, she'd find out sooner or later.
My tail swished a bit behind me as I stepped forward. I turned on the lamp and she gazed at me with her intuitive fluorescent green eyes, which seemed to pierce my skin and look into my very soul.
"What have you to be ashamed of? I see nothing wrong with you." Jade aid and I looked at her, shocked.
"I am a monster. Just ask everyone." I replied and she chuckled.
"You are not a monster. You a beautiful human being, just with a little something extra." Jade said, trying to stand but nearly falling, she had braced herself with the table side.
"Don't you'll get yourself hurt." I said and she started to fall.
I teleported myself to her side and caught her before she hit the ground. Jade had a small trail of blood lead out of the side of her mouth and drip onto the floor.
"Somebody, get in here!" I yelled, my tail swishing nervously as I picked up the girl and set her on the table.
Storm ran in and gasped at the sight. She immediately began work on the girl, telling me to step outside as Jean ran in to help her.
