Chapter Five - Changes
Nightcrawler's pov
Her hair was so soft under my fingers. I can't believe she actually hugged me. I know she was thankful for the mini-
speech I gave her.
I hate to see her cry. Puffy red eyes and tears do not suit her at all. Her eyes are too beautiful for that. I know they are an unnatural shade of bright green, but they are beautiful to me.
She had so much sadness built up in her and no way to let it out. Jade doesn't deserve so much pain. It's too much for her mind can take, she's too fragile for much more of it.
I felt her move a bit and looked down at her. Jade had buried her nose into the crook of my neck and was trying to calm herself down.
"It's okay, you can let it." I tell her and I feel her clutching my jacket, again, as she cried.
Jade's sobs stifled themselves after a while and she just kept her eyes closed with her head on my shoulder, seemingly calmed.
I gently rocked her back and forth, knowing I was calming her down, from her sobs and pain-filled thoughts.
"Kurt?" I hear her ask in a near whisper.
"Yes?" I reply, stroking her soft brown hair.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked, trying not to get too far from my neck.
"Because I know what it's like to feel unwanted pain, to feel so much loss and be denied a real life." I told her, feeling her bury her nose back in the crook of my neck.
"Thanks." I hear her muffled reply.
"You're welcome, Jade." I tell her and she nods her head a bit.
I wrap my long tail around her, using the tip to stroke her cheek down to her neck, which made her smile.
'Her skin is so soft.' I realized as my tail caressed her cheek and neck.
Jade, suddenly, pulled back, a look of pain and horror on her face. She fell to her knees and held her head, particularlly,
her jaws.
"What's wrong?" I asked, kneeling down in front of her, but she wouldn't or couldn't answer.
I, suddenly, realized that her mouth was bleeding and I could tell whatever was happening was hurting her badly.
I put a hand on her shoulder and she groaned, loudly, finally, looking up at me.
Her teeth had grown pointy and sharp enough to chew through bone. I didn't notice before, but her ears had pointed and reminded me of my own.
"It hurts so much." She murmured and I pulled her to me, in a gentle embrace, feeling her wrap her armsaround me in return.
Her head rested against my chest and I wondered if she was still in pain. Jade still groaned and whimpered at times,
burying her face deeper into my chest.
Jade started to purr and I looked down at her. Jade opened her mouth and let out a hiss, growling afterward.
I hissed myself, when I felt her fingernails digging into my back, curling and flexing. She looked up at me when I hissed and tilted her head to the side, questioning me with her eyes.
A long, leathery royal purple tail seemed to appear out of nowhere, the tip curling and uncurling like a content kitten's tail.
As I looked at her, our eyes locked, giving me a chance to glance at her face, which seemed to have been darkening in color rapidly. Jade's skin was turning red, to dark red, mixing with a little blue at a time, until it was dark purple, like her newly acquired tail.
Jade groaned again and I felt her head, she was burning with fever. The girl moved her hands backward, touching her feet, which had lengthened a bit and her toes had become claws.
Jade let out a moan and looked me in the eyes, smiling softly, still showing signs of pain. She fell forward, into my chest, passing out.
