Chapter 11 Revenge
" What? What happened?" Kurt mumbled as she set his hand to his forehead. Everyone seemed relieved by this. " Kurt! You're, like, alive!" Kitty hugged the furry mutant as tightly as she could. Kurt gasped." Not for long! You're strangling me!" Kitty smiled and slowly let go. Rogue frowns." What was that French girl's problem? She wouldn't let Logan near Kurt." Scott shrugged." She must have a reason, I mean, she seemed to have.. healed Kurt somehow." Kurt blinks, severely confused." All I remember.. is.. getting bitten, and now.." He says softly.
Jean frowned." I don't know what happened, but I know those other guys were sure upset to lose." Scott nods." I still don't understand why she threw the fight like that. From what I saw, she could've attacked us and won easily." Kurt blinked." weird.."
Only a minute later, Damien stood in the doorway of Aurelie's room." What's your problem?" He said in an annoyed tone. Aurelie stared at him." Damien, it wasn't worth it." " Wasn't worth it! Do you think those Easties are better than we are? You sure proved it to them! Forfitting! I can't believe you!" Damien glared. Aurelie frowned, looking away." He would've died, Damien. I know what my powers can do."
Damien just glared, his eyes narrowed in anger." Then that's it! You're off the team!" Aurelie's eyes widened." What?" Damien nods." You like those Easties so much, then when they leave, you go with them, because you're not welcome here." Aurelie glared." only Jack has the say in-" " Jack can be easily manipulated and you know it. Trust me, you're lucky we don't just attack you here and now. A traitor to our group."
Aurelie ran from the room, pushing past Damien before going out to the stable. There she sat upon the hay, trying to think. " What fools, saying such things to you, especially a girl of your talent." Aurelie looked up confused." Who's there? I'm warning you..." She glared, but became shocked to see one of the horses transform into a red-headed blue skinned woman. " Now now, don't be alarmed dear. I'm just a bystander, a mutant like yourself, someone who isn't understood, hated by everyone.." She very slowly approaches, gently setting a hand on Aurelie's shoulder." How dare your teammates do something like that to you. You're they're best fighter, and they know it."
Aurelie looked away slowly." Why would they do something like that? Why do they all take everything so seriously?" " Don't blame them dear. It's Charles behind all of this. Why do you think you don't what happened to you before your eleventh birthday? He's hiding it all from you, using his students as his soldiers to hide behind." Aurelie slowly shook her head." No.. it can't be... They said they didn't know anything.." " They've been lying to you child, everything has been a lie." Mystique said firmly. " Come with me, lift the fog out of your eyes. They're all using you, like a little puppet." Mystique slowly offered her hand towards Aurelie." What will it be?"
