-Metallica- The God That Failed-

"Mmm, French fries." Kurt looked at Kathy's bag of food salivating

"Touch my fries and I'll take off your fingers and put them in a box." she warned

Kurt coiled back "You aren't serious. You vould never hurt me, your best friend." He said smiling.

"Try me."

Kurt gave up and sat down. He was hungry. He didn't bring a lunch, and he didn't want to get lunch from school, never knowing what the lunch ladies could do to it. He stared at Kathy as she took a bite out of her hotdog.

Kathy noticed and put down her hotdog. "Are you that hungry that you have to hover while I eat?"

Kurt nodded

"Fine take a bite."

Kurt yelped in glee and took a bite out of Kathy's hotdog.

"Ewe, Kurt, Kathy like bit that." Kitty said

"Germs are germs. I'm too hungry to care." He took another bite, then took a sip out of Kathy's Dr. Pepper.

"I said take a bite out of my hotpup, not drink my soda."

"Vat, if I eat I get zirsty But ven I get zirsty I get hungry. Life is tough."

"I know, live with it." Kathy took her soda and hotdog back. "Have some fries Sir Eats-A-Lot."

"I hold honor in my name." Kurt said as he took some fries out of the white bag. "French fries, God's miracle food."

"You go with your creationism, I'll go with my Darwinism."

"Not my fault zat your not religious."

"Actually I'm religious, actually I would find my self as sort of a Wicken."

Kurt stared at her. "Okay, my friend celebrates Satan."

"You chose to be my friend. Besides I am a Goth, why are you friends with a Goth."

"Vell my sister is one too." Kurt ate another frie, when Amanda came by and kissed him on the cheek.

"Hey blue and fuzzy." She stroked him under the chin. She sat in his lap an put her arms around his neck, planting a kiss on his lips.

"Hey Amanda. Are you still mad at me?"

"Do I look mad at you?"

"Nein."

"Then I'm not mad at you." She kissed him again.

Kathy turned around, glowing with jealousy. Tobius eyed her, then nudged her in the side. She looked up and saw him smiling with a smile that read cheer up. She smiled back weakly.

"I have to go. Don't want to be late for chemistry." She kissed him again, got up and walked away. Kurt was glowing.

Kathy turned her head and drank from her Dr. Pepper. For about five minutes she was quiet, until Kurt noticed. "Vhy so quiet Kathy?"

"Huh, oh, I'm, uh, thinking about my, um, my article about the Mothman. Uh yeah."

Kurt stared at her with a cocked eyebrow.

"What!? You know I should get going to study hall since I'm done with lunch, want to finish some stuff up." Kathy gathered her books and walked away.

"Vat is vith her? She vas fine before…" It hit him just then. He looked at Tobius immediately. "You vouldn't happen to know if Kathy has a crush on me or not, vould you." He said slyly.

"Wa!? Me!? H-how w-would I k-know. Kathy never tells me shit."

"Your lying, you know something."

"That is strictly twin confidential business, and I'm not entitled to say."

"So she does like me?"

"I never said that!"

"But you suggested it."

"No I didn't."

"Kurt, if you want to know if Kathy likes you, then maybe you like her, or liked her in the past." Kitty said.

Kurt looked at her in horror. "No, I never did, just as a friend."

"You said no, not nien." Tobius said

"So."

"When you say no, then your lying." Tobius said

"Vat do you do? Pick out za little zings, zen use zem as a weapon?"

"You do, or did"

Kurt looked nervously at them. He started to blush bright red.

"You still do, even though your dating Amanda." Scott said

"N-no, err, nien."

"You lye, your blushing."

"You said it yourself to me Kurt." Kitty said

"Kitty!"

"You do. You like her, but you still love Amanda."

Kurt ducked down. "Look you promise not to tell anyone, and I mean anyone. Not Anyone at za mansion, not Kathy, or Amanda."

"We promise." Jean said

"Okay. I sort of did." Tobius stomped on Kurt's foot. "Yow! Okay, I still kind of little bit like her." Kurt blushed as red as a Macintosh apple.

"I can't believe it. You're a man slut." Scott said

"Nien, I'm not. It's just a crush."

"On another girl while you still have a girlfriend. Your cheating." Bobby said

"Shut up!"

"It's so true though. Your attracted to Kathy because you and her click. You both like the same movies, the same music, you both like to play soccer, and video games. You two would be perfect for each other really." Kitty said

"Vy don't we talk about something else."

"Why Kurt? Are you getting uncomfortable?" Tobius said

"Yes, err I mean, no."

Tobius smiled, then noticed the white haired new kid. "Is that dude in any of your guy's classes?"

"No"

"Naw"

"Nope"

"That guy's weird, me thinks he could be's a mutant." He said

They all stared at the tall and skinny, pale white haired boy.

"Where are you two?" It was late, and somewhere in Massachusetts a mutant was stalking a vampire and were-wolf. The mutant had bat wings, ten feet across, grayish blue skin, and a short tail that wielded a mace like end. He wore no shirt, but wore camouflage pants, and black army boots. On his side was a silver sword and X-bow, loaded with silver arrows. His eyes were most striking, no whites, but turquoise blue, with red iris's. He had long black stringy hair, tied in a pony tail. He was no older than 18. His name was Demon, or Asher Van Helsing, offspring of Van Helsing.

He looked down and saw a woman and a large black wolf running side by side. He hovered in the air and loaded his X-bow, ready to shoot. He aimed, then fired, Getting the woman in the shoulder. "Fuck!" He yelled. The woman and the wolf kept running. Asher flew over head them. The woman looked up. She pulled out her gun and shot Asher right on his wing, breaking his bone. "Arrgghh!" He plummeted to the ground, but teleported in a mist of black and purple smoke.

"I got him." she said. The wolf nudge her in the hip to keep going. They ran.

"Nice to see you all in one peace." Tigris said.

"That bloody mutant won't stop following us. We are the last of our kind. The only vampire and were-wolf mutant left." A slender woman sat in a chair. She wore a tight black leather suit, that outlined every part of her body. She had long flowing black hair. Her eyes were as red as blood, and her fanged canines gleamed as she talked. She was Countess, or Scelene

"Yes, If only there was a way to stop him." Another mutant stood next to her. He was tall and handsome. His long wavy hair, and goatee made him a million dollar man. His eyes were gray, and he wore black pants, and a gray jacket. He was Lupin.

"He won't leave us alone, ever." Scelene said

"Patience my wife, soon you will have the blood of a thousand souls to drink, and when you do, I will feast on his flesh, and we will be immortal." He gently kissed her.

Kathy knocked on Kurt's door. He opened the door, only in his boxers.

"Vat?"

Kathy blushed a little at the sight of Kurt in his boxers. "Um, do you mind if I come in?"

"I'm getting dressed, but okay."

Kathy walked into his room.

"Vat vas zat about today? You just left."

"Yeah I did. Sorry about that, just felt a little awkward." Kathy sat on Kurt's bed.

"Kathy, you vouldn't lye to me, vould you?"

"Kurt, I would never lie to you. You know that."

"Um, do like me?"

"You're my best friend, of course."

"No, I mean do you have a crush on me."

Kathy looked up at Kurt, shocked. "W-why do you ask?"

"Because you act like you do. You flirt vith me, a lot, you-"

"I flirt with all guys."

"But you do it vith me a lot, and you seem to be jealous ven Amanda's around." Kurt walked over to Kathy a put his arms around her. "You said you vould never lie to me." Kathy turned around.

"I have to get going and finish up my article. Talk to ya later fuzz ball." Kathy hurriedly walked out of Kurt's room.

In a riot the white haired boy, tried to struggler away

"Leave me alone!" He yelled. The sky darkened, and a black aura formed around him. His clothes and skin melted into black glossy scales, the sound of bone crunching and stretching. Huge wings burst from his back. Dragon wings. His spine stretched, as his body became more serpentine, and a tail grew. Fangs grew out of his now elongated mouth. Ears like horse ears grew from the sides of his head, tufted at the tip. Horns grew out of the top of his skull. Spikes grew from his spine and made there way down his back. In the end, he was a real twenty foot long black dragon.

He roared, which made the crowed back down. A black flame spewed from his mouth. His claws scratched against the pavement. He reared up on his hind legs and took off, flapping his forty foot wings.
