Kara had been awake for an hour. It was almost 8:30. She found her old clothes and changed into them.
Good thing I already washed these.
She walked to the window, let out her wings and slowly flew out the window. It was getting dark outside, so there were no kids playing.
This is good. No one out to scream at the site of me.
She chuckled. It was funny to her. She forgot she was at a place were people wouldn't shun her for what she looks like. She flew around the small decorative trees, enjoying the flight since she hadn't had a chance to fly since she was fleeing the village to the forest. She shook off the memory.
She spent thirty mimutes or so flying and then rested on the tree she thought Kurt wanted to meet her at. She sat on a mid-tree branch and leaned up against the tree trunk.
A noise just above her hand started her and she almost fell off her branch. She looked up and saw Kurt smiling down at her. She tryed not to smile but it the effort was futile(yeah, cuz Kurt has such a sexy smile;P).
"Guten tag," he said and he adjusted his perch to where he was sitting facing the trunk of the tree and could see Kara's face.
Knowing what he said since she took German, among other languages at her old school, "I think you mean good night. Its night time," said in a goofing around type voice.
Kurt gave a weird face, "Ach so. Zen I guess I should be god night," he said with a grin.
There was a short silence. Then Kara said," What is that you do when you dissapear and go go somewhere?" Kara had courios eyes.
"Teleporting. I think of vhere I vant to go und zen,.. " he dissapeared, "I go zere," he reappeared on the same branch as Kara was on. His bamf made her jolt sideways, almost falling off the tree again
Someday I'm gonna have to get used to that.
"It is my mutant power. Is zat your power? This wings?" he said nodding his head toward her wings.
"Yeah I guess so, but that Professer guy thinks its more than just these wings and claw things," she said as her hand turned into the sharp claws. Kurts eyes grew wide at he site of them. It was sorta a nervous look. This made Kara laugh, "Don't worry. I wouln't use 'em ta hurt anyone," she laughed again., but this time at herself. She accadentlly spoke outloud in a Southern accent. In her struggle with her mutant powers at first, she forced hersefl to try to talk what she considered "normal"; no accents, or whatever. But sometimesm when she is happy she forgets and it'll just slip out.
They both sat there and laughed. When they stopped laughing, Kurt looked at Kara then daze at the night sky.
"What's wrong?" she asked him.
He sighed, "I vish I could look normal when I vanted to,...like you," he said. "I miss being outside zis school. I vant to go und see ze city," he said and still looked at the stars.
Yeah, I do feel sorry for him. I wonder what it would be like if I couldn't change back to looking like a normal person. I hate it he has to deal with this... I know what I can do to help.
"You know, we can see the city and no one would even know," Kara said to him with a 'I-have-a-really-good-idea' type voice.
"How?"
"I'll show you. Just stand up," she said and she flew and hovered herself with a little difficulty but somewhat still. Kurt stood up with perfect balance on the tree limb. Kara flew behind him and gently put her arms under his; she slowly pulled him off the tree. He wasn't really heavy and Kara was strong enough to fly them both.
They flew toward the city's lights. Kara wanted to see the city as well. She's never been there either. They flew into the night's sky...
In the city, 1 hour later
"Vow, I have enjoyed zis night. Thank you," Kurt said to Kara. They were sitting on the edge of a building watching the few people still out in the late night.
"Do you ever wish you could go down there?" Kara asked him.
"Sure, but vhy vouldn't you be able to go there?" he replied.
Kara hesitated, "I can't,... I just can't," she took in a breath, "One time before I ran from my home, I went to the store to buy something to eat, because I was very hungry. I wasn't paying attention and I accidently bumped into this large, mean looking boy. He yelled at me and pushed me down. I was mad at him...I'm not sure what happened but it just came out. I flew out my wings, picked and flew him up and throw him again a wall. He ended up being ok, but some police almost hurt ME...I scared some kid, and I scared myself. I didn't mean to do it," she said and slumped over a bit to the side.
Kurt had a sympathetic look on his face. He put on hand on her shoulder. "It's okay. You must forget that. You are in a different lifetime now. Don't let your fear stand in your vay," he smiled a truly true smile. "You know, its late. Shouldn't get be back now?"
Kara put on a small smile, "Yeah, we must be going," and she got herslef ready to fly.
Kurt put his hands on hers, "No, it's my turn. I'll take us home," he said. Kara came close to him. Still a bit hesitant, then she put her arms around his neck. "Don't let go," he said. His yellow eyes peared into Kara's red eyes.
Those eyes...
And she flew into the night with her love...
