Told you I'd get another chapter soon. I don't know how to do everyone's various accents so just pretend they're there. and in the last chapter when Kurt said wunderbar that means wonderful and lieber Gott means dear God
Chapter two
The illusion appeared to be of a small village. It was mid-afternoon and cloudy. Somewhere nearby shouting could be heard and was growing louder.
"Anyone wanna explain to me where we are." Said Wolverine. looking around. He was sniffing the air, but couldn't smell anything.
"I'm so sorry!" Said a very exhausted Sierra. "It's from Kurt's head. A memory, I think but-" Sierra fainted.
"She's worn herself out. Only the problem is, we can't get out of this until she gets us out which won't be until she comes to." Said Jean. who was now holding Sierra.
Kurt stood a little ways off pacing and saying quietly, "Lieber Gott oh, lieber Gott, this cannot be happening!"
"Like, what's wrong Kurt?" Asked Kitty, also looking around and inching closer to Wolverine, probably thinking it would be safer right by him.
Kurt stopped walking up and down. "I think I know what memory she took." He said worriedly
"And let me guess, it's not a plesant one, is it?" Asked Cyclops, who was standing over Jean. He was answered by the yelling growing very loud. A terrified, and very beat up boy half ran half stumbled past. A boy with a tail and blue fur.
Kurt.
The illusion Kurt had cuts and scrapes all over, including one on his head bleeding into his left eye. His clothes were in tatters. Both Rahne and Kitty looked down after he ran past and both saw that he was leaving behind bloody footprints.
"Oh man, I think I'm gonna, like, hurl." said Kitty. luckily, she didn't.
"So there after you." Asked Bobby.
"Yes." Said Kurt, barely audible.
The crowed ran past, some with knives, pitchforks, torches, and anything else you'd expect an angry mob to have.
"Hey!There yelling in english." Said Rogue, who was also standing next to Wolverine.
"Dreamer probably translated it in her head. Oh and by the way, they won't be able to see us. And we can't do anything to them." Said Jean.
The crowd was shouting such horrid things, and all of it directed at the illusion's Kurt. One person even threw a pitchfork at him and it glanced off his arm, causing a sever injury and knocking him down.
"why didn't you just teleport away?" Asked Wolverine, turning to look at Kurt
"Because I couldn't yet, this was before I got my real powers." Said the real Kurt "And they thought that I was a demon. What was I supposed to do? this was before the world knew about mutants, this is before I knew about mutants!"
The crowd caught up with Kurt and two young men grabbed him by the arms.
"Let me go! I never did anything!" Illusion Kurt cried out, struggling to get out of the men's grasps.
A man approached. "I'll tell you what you did. You were born demon!" And then the speaker hit Kurt across the face.
"come on, just kill him!"
"No, make him suffer first!"
Someone, with what appeared to be some type of whip, came forward and after the men holding Kurt threw him down began to hit him with it. Other people watching threw things too, still yelling insults. The illusion's Kurt tried to get away but every time he tried to was thrown back down. The pain was so visible on his face and he cried out because of it every now and again. Wolverine snarled and unsheathed his claws.
"No Logan. It won't help, it's all in the past" Said Kurt. putting a hand on Logan's shoulder. Wolverine looked over at Kurt and saw something he didn't expect. He saw fear.
Sure, it's all in the past but he still freakin afraid of it! Logan thought.
The scene went black.
"So that it, it's all done?" Said a very nervouse sounding Bobby.
"No." Said sierra weakly, she had just woken up. "Kurt fell unconsious and when he wakes back up it'll come back. I'm so sorry I'm not strong enough to stop it yet."
The illusion did come back and now people were standing around Kurt. Kurt was tied up, but not gagged.
"Please, just let me go, I never done a thing to you, and I never will, please!" He begged, he tried to get out of the ropes that held him but stopped. from the expression on his face it was obvious that it was too painful.
A dark man, the same person who had said to whip Kurt, came over, leaned down to Kurt and said;
"No one here believes that rot demon, in fact we're currently discussing how to kill you and it's been decided the best way is to burn you at the stake." the man talking smiled malisciously.
Shocked and even angry expressions came over the faces of the x men watching.
"Like, no way this could be real Kurt. People don't do stuff like burn other people alive anymore." Said horrified Kitty
"They do if the person being burned is a demon." replied Kurt, not even bothering to look at Kitty.
"But you're not a demon Kurt." Said Rahne.
"That's not what they thought" Kurt replied grimly.
The illusion Kurt was being dragged a pire had been thrown together and Kurt was dragged up on it. He was mumbling something
"What are saying?" asked Bobby.
"The same thing you'd say if you thought you were about to die. I was praying."
"How can anyone do this!" yelled Scott with clenched fists.
"Scott-" said Jean.
"No Jean, it's inhumane! Oh blast that! It's inhuman! Kurt already looks like Jesus Christ on the freaking road to Calvary and now they're gonna burn him?" said an icreasingly angry Scott.
"Obviously not Scott since Kurt is standing right next to you!" said Jean.
"Look." Said Sierra, still weakly.
The illusion Kurt had dissapeared, only smoke remained.
"So that's it, your powers showed up and you teleported away." Said Wolverine
"Nien, I didn't, look again."
The illusion Kurt had reapeared and was falling from the sky above the crowd. Someone caught him roughly and threw him down.
"Nice try, but nothing getting you away now!" said the person who had caught him.
Kurt was again dragged to the pire and this time tied to it. The same man who had told Kurt that they were going to burn him approached holding a torch, but instead of just throwing it at the pire he first quickly touched it to Kurt's skin.
The illusion Kurt screamed, not just any scream but a horrible unearthly scream. The man then threw the torch down onto the wood. when it caught on fire, the crowed actually cheered.
"No! Stop! Please someone help me! Please." Said Kurt struggling to get loose, any pain caused by it forgetten in deperation.
He looked so horrible at this point, not one spot on his body wasn't hurt. he was grimy and bloody and so unbelievably terrified.
Scott couldn't help himself any longer, he shot his lazers at the crowed but they passed through as if they had just been holograms. Then through some miracle, rain began to fall just enough to put out the fire, and everyone froze, as if time had been stopped.
Everyone except for Kurt, still tied to the stake.
A middle aged man in a wheelchair came as close to the pire as he could and said.
"Please, don't be frightened, my name is Charles Xavier and I wish to help you."
"I don't believe you." whispered illusion Kurt. "No one wishes to help me, no one."
The scene faded, this time not to darkness, but back to the rec room.
"That's all I saw in his head." Said Dreamer, now sitting up.
"so what happened next?" Asked Rogue, who had been quiet until then.
"next thing I knew, I woke up back at home, banaged up and the professor telling my foster parents about this place. Eight months later, I came here." Said Kurt in a quiet voice. "
Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Scott.
"Would you have believed it? Besides I didn't want to ever have to think about it again!" snapped Kurt.
And then he teleported away.
Sorry if I offended anyone by referencing Christ but it was the first, and best thing I thought of.
