Chapter 4
The Xmen all sat outside of Kitty and Rogue's room. Professor Xavier, Storm, and Jean were inside the room with Devyn. Logan stood outside the door, guarding it.
"Logan, please! Let me, like, go in!" begged Kitty.
"For the last time... NO!" Logan growled.
Kitty narrowed her small blue eyes and got ready to run right through him. Just as she was about to make her move, the door opened.
"How is she!" Kitty demanded.
"Easy Kitty." laughed Jean, "Devyn's fine. She's awake, and she seems to have no memory of what happened."
"Only Kitty and Rogue are allowed in the room for now." Storm told them, walking out of the room.
"Why not the rest of us?" asked Kurt.
"Because it's their room, and Devyn doesn't need any more stress." said Professor Xavier, wheeling himself out of the room.
Kitty and Rogue shot by them, slamming the door behind them.
"Hey Devyn, how are you, like, feeling?" Kitty asked.
Devyn turned, and smiled as Rogue and Kitty leaned against the balcony railing.
"I'm feeling a lot better now." she smiled.
"Have you ever had that, like, happen to you before?" Kitty questioned.
"I... don't think so. I guess I don't actually know." Devyn replied, focusing her blue green eyes on the setting sun.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Not to mention, scaring the shit out of them.
"Sorry guys, "said Evan, poking his head into the room, "but the professor wants Rogue and Kitty down for a meeting."
Kitty quickly went out the door, but Rogue turned back to Devyn, a look of concern flashed in her eyes.
"Ya want me ta lock the door?" she asked.
"Yes, thanks." said Devyn.
Rogue nodded and walked out of the room, locking the door. Devyn sighed, and leaned against the railing. She winced and grabbed her head, as a blinding pain shot through her. She heard a poofing sound behind her.
"Devyn! Are you all right!" asked Kurt, appearing behind her.
"Kurt! What's...happening... to me?" she demanded, tears running down her cheeks.
"Shhhhhh... just relax." Kurt told her, wrapping his arms around her.
After a couple minutes, Devyn managed to relax and she clung to Kurt, causing him to blush.
"I... um... brought you something." he studdered.
"You did?" she asked, looking up at him.
Kurt smiled, letting her go. He walked back into the room. After picking something up, he headed back towards her. Something was hidden behind his back.
"What is it?" Devyn questioned, smiling.
"You have to guess." Kurt teased.
Devyn narrowed her eyes, and starting walking towards Kurt.
"I prefer the direct approach." she laughed, trying to look behind him.
"Hey! No peeking!" he exclaimed, moving away.
"Oh, come on Kurt..." she begged, standing close to him.
Kurt began to realize how close he and Devyn actually were. Her body was barely an inch away from his own.
"Kurt... What do I have to do to find out?" she smiled, putting her arms around his neck.
"I...uh...well..." studdered Kurt, swallowing hard.
Devyn smiled, and Kurt realized she knew that he liked her. He slowly lowered his head down, touching his lips to hers. The two of them slowly pulled back from the other.
"Well,... I... um...here!" he said, showing her what he had behind his back.
"Oh, Kurt!" she gasped, as she saw what he held.
In his arms, he held a bouquet of beautiful wildflowers. All in different shades of pink, yellow, purple, and blue.
"They're beautiful!" she exclaimed.
After he handed the flowers to her, she turned and kissed him on the cheek.
"What? Just the cheek?" he teased.
"I was getting to-"
But she was cut off, as Kurt captured her lips. Her eyes fluttered closed, and she wrapped her arms around him. Finally, deciding that they needed air, they both ended the kiss.
"Actually, there is more than flowers." Kurt whispered."
"Kurt..." Devyn said, giving him a look.
"This one is from everyone!" he added quickly, handing her a small box.
She lifted the lid to find a golden chain. In the middle of the chain, was a marble shaped object with a cat's eye cut into it.
"Oh, it's beautiful!" she smiled, trying to put it on.
"Here, let me help you." Kurt laughed, moving behind her and hooking the necklace.
"That tickles!" Devyn laughed, trying to move away.
Kurt's arms reached out, snagging her around the waist, and pulling her back against him. With his arms tightly around her, he rested his head on her shoulder.
"Kurt...," Devyn finally said, "Aren't you supposed to be at the meeting?"
"Oh crap! You're right!" Kurt cried.
Devyn smiled as he rushed around the room. Kurt stopped to give her one last kiss.
"Goodnight Devyn." he told her.
"See you in the morning." she replied, turning to pick up the flowers that she had dropped.
Another poofing sound caused her to jump.
"What?" she asked, looking around.
She pulled a small flower out of the bouquet, and smelled it. For once, she felt no pain.
"Wait!" she exclaimed.
Throughout her life, she had always been in pain. Be it physical, mental, or emotional. For some reason, she felt nothing now.
"Devyn!" called a voice.
Devyn walked over to the balcony, and looked down. Lance and Evan( new Evan) stood there.
"Well," she smiled, "What brings you two here?"
"I just thought I'd swing by and see how you were doing." Lance replied.
"Well, I'm not dead." she replied.
"That's cool. You goin on the trip this weekend?" he asked.
"What trip?"
"Just a trip when the mutants leave to go out in the woods and practice survival skills." he explained.
Before Devyn could reply, Evan leaned over and nudged Lance.
"Come on, we're gonna get busted."
"Okay...well... see you tomorrow, Devyn." he said.
With that, the two boys took off into the darkness. Devyn smiled, and shook her head. She changed into her night clothes, and crawled into bed, letting the calm wind lull her to sleep.
A half human- half eagle flew from the tree, and headed off into the night. Her golden eyes lit up evilly.
