Chapter 13 Afterthoughts
Never in all the history of the world had a sunset been so beautiful. It seemed as though for a mere period in time, the sky forgot what color it was and blended them all together to make up its mind. This was what Kurt and Aurelie saw as they stood outside of the stables, side by side. " Have you ever seen anything so beautiful in your life?" Aurelie asked softly, in complete awe. Kurt's eyes slowly moved to Aurelie before he spoke." Yes... a girl.. a nice girl... who has a little trouble with crowds.."
Aurelie slowly blushed at his words, smiling softly. Kurt smiled as well." Why did you choose me?" Aurelie laughed." because Mystique was old and ugly.." Kurt laughed." No, really." Aurelie slowly looked to Kurt before she whispered." because.. you're too honest. You're too nice to lie about anything."
Inside, Logan, Ororo, Jean and Scott were hearing everything from Hank and Charles. They all seemed amazed. " So, you're saying that, she's some sort of.. super powerful mutant?" Scott asked. Charles shrugged." She has the potential for that, yes." He said firmly." She's still a child yet, having little memory of anything that happened before she came into society." Jean seemed a bit shocked, but blinked." When are we going to tell her?" Logan sighed." I don't think we should, at least not right away. You have to admit,that's some damaging stuff, and according to Charles, that's not even all of it."
Jack gave a nod." Well, I suppose now that you know that your school is safe, you could go back." Ororo gave a nod." But I don't think we could go without Aurelie.." She motioned towards the window, especially to the two students as they stood togeher." It seems that they may be somewhat attached."
