Chapter 14: Plans, Alice, Splatter

Kurt awoke as his alarm cried out softly. Tapping it off gently, the blue mutant set about his morning chores such as showering, brushing his teeth and changing into clean clothes. Understanding the length of time that everyone took (not just the girls), Kurt made it a custom to wake up earlier than the other to insure shower time. He usually used cool water to help keep his hot, furry body cooler and since he never clogged the drain with the small strands of hair that fell out, no one complained.

With a towel wrapped around his waist, Kurt set forth with the most difficult task known to human and mutant. Brushing ones hair. His hair was smooth and soft, so brushing wasn't that difficult. It was when it came to his fur. It was getting longer and, being self-conscious about his fur, he refused to let anyone cut it. So, every morning, he would have to spend at least ten minutes on the cursed thing. He hated to admit it, but it felt nice brushing it, as long as he avoided all of the knots, know those were a pain!

After smoothing down the last strand of hair Kurt looked at himself in the mirror. For a second, the blue walls of the bathroom flashed white and it wasn't water covering his body. Shaking his head quickly he teleported back to his room to check the time. Flashing a brilliant 6:39, Kurt realized he still had twenty-one minutes before the others would be up. Surly this was a new record?

Have any suggestions Dunkel?

We wish to see the surroundings of the institute, best be prepared. Kurt nodded and teleported to the front of the mansion to begin their tour.


Kurt had scaled all corners of the grounds and was now laying on the grass in the surrounding forest. He was dozing lightly, the feel of the warm sun drying his fur was pleasant. The wind blew lightly and sent shivers down his spine. Suddenly, the bright blue sky was covered in luminous gray clouds. A small rain drop hit his face, falling down his check as if to symbolize a tear.


Breakfast was quick and loud. Kurt was chomping down on everything that was placed within reachable distance, Evan was jugging down milk, and Kitty just wouldn't shut up about some friends crush.

"I mean, he's so, like, ugly! How can she, like, like him!?" she exclaimed loudly. Jean ate her jam toast as Rouge suppressed the erg to slam her head on the table.

"Looks don't always count Kitty." The young telepath said politely.

"But, like, EW!" she shouted, being heard by everyone. Scott raised his eyebrow's but soon went back to eating his own jammed toast and talking mentally with Jean. The professor smiled kindly at the normality of the room and Ororo could help but agree, her own smile beaming. Only Logan and Hank seemed to be uneasy. The blue beast had a bad feeling ever since Kurt's dark mood in the infirmary and Logan was still trying to decipher Mike's message. It wasn't everyday that one was threatened with unknown danger. The Canadian cast n uneasy look towards the elf.

He chugging back a weeks worth of food, having been deprived of the good sustenance called 'food'. Though the taste would suddenly change to that of ash every now and then, the meal was pleasant. Kurt could feel the unsteady gaze coming from Logan, but decided he would ignore the man. Shivers ran down his spine and the sight of the dark ominous clouds worried him. Even worse, when ever he tried to think of why, Alice's and Melissa's face would appear in his head. This could only lead to more worry.


"Yo Evan, are you ridding with us today?" Scott called out as the group of teens gathered at the door, ready for another day of school.

"Not like I have much choice, but is there even enough room?" The tanned teen asked, noting the group of six.

"Actually, Lance is like, giving me a ride today!" Kitty cheered. Kurt wanted to bash her face in. For some odd reason, his crush for her had dissolved as soon as she started dating Lance. Perhaps it was because it was like a slap in the face. She always cuddled with him, and came with stupid questions and problems and Kurt had always listened. He felt like an unappreciated counselor.

Kurt opened his gray umbrella as he stood went outside to walk Kitty to Lance's jeep/van thing. Like the clouds above them, the conversation between them was littered with acidic down pour. Punching in the code quickly, Kurt was, though not completely, forced to walk with Kitty to the van. Stupid girl had forgotten his umbrella at school.

Zough I can't really blame her. Zee only reason I have mine iz because I can just teleport home... Kitty opened the door to the vehicle, smiling widely at her boyfriend.

"Hey sweets." He smiled, catching Kurt behind her. "Hey fuzz-butt whats up?" he asked teasingly. Kurt knew that Lance was getting at his current state of mind. They hadn't exactly left off on the best of terms.

"Clouds and an umbrellva. (1)" Kurt spoke, his voice matching that of even the worse of frost. Lance laughed nervously. Pietro, sensing the uneasiness in his friend took over the conversation.

"No, we mean what's up with you?" his voice was quick and speedy as usual. However, it sounded normal to Kurt, catching each breath the speedster took.

"Many zing, and not so many zings." Kitty was starting too look slightly uncomfortable.

"Kurt, just like, answer their question." she told him timidly. Kurt growled lowly, matching the sound of thunder as the rain continued to fall. Gritting his teeth, the boy looked into the other's eyes. He allowed his watch to flicker off, giving sight to a demon beyond fear. Kurt stood there, he teeth barred and a soft hiss coming from his throat. His black-yellow eyes burned their ways into the teens minds. Kitty stiffened.

Suddenly Kurt was a smiling teen again, and the others questioned if it was some sort of trick with the rain. Perhaps they hadn't been getting enough sleep. "I'm fine actually. Zanks for asking!" his voice was filled with venom-laced sweetness as he turned his back to the brotherhood plus Kitty.

"I'll see you guys later." he called over his shoulder, still wearing a sickishly wide grin.


The first thing Kurt noticed when he sat down in science class was that Alice was missing. She sat two seat in front of him and when the two had found out yesterday, they were both excited for all the group work the two could do. Though that would mean Evan having to find a new partner, Kurt was sure that the teen would understand if it was for a lovely women.

Her absence caused his stomach to churn as his worry grew. He felt as if something bad was going to happen. Something very bad.

As he handed in his test that he just wrote, his passed the still empty seat. He paused for what seemed like an eternity, staring at the vacant seat.

Vhy? Vhy aren't you here? His min worried, as the seats shadow merged with his own. Seconds passed and soon Kurt took his seat, his shadow still merged with the seats by merging with surrounding shadows. Vhy do I worry? And most of all, vhy do I dread seeing you?


Math soon rolled by as Kurt took his window seat. He wished he could be on the other side of the firm window, but even the weather forbid him his wish. Trying to ignore the burning hole in the back of his neck, Kurt resisted the erg to snap at the younger teen behind him.

Todd just couldn't stop staring at the disguised mutant. His voice was cold and distant that morning, and during science his thoughts appeared to be preoccupied. In the midis of his thoughts, the bells rang loudly over the intercom and the object of his thoughts stood quickly and glared at him from the corner of his eye. Todd swore that he saw those haunting eyes flash through the hologram.

"Do you need somezing?" he asked, his voice slightly softer from the morning.

"Just wondering what was up." Todd shrugged his shoulders only to be surprised by a soft laughter that escaped the blue boy's lips.

"Zee roof zis time, Todd" The smalled boy laughed lightly back. "But if mein enemiez are really so vorried about zeir plan failing zan I'll tell you. I'm all good and better so you can call off your sneak attack." The smile never left his lips as the two left their classroom, heading to their lockers.

"Dang, I was hoping to finally pluck a win from you guys." Todd didn't know why the two had a sudden wave of friends. Though he had to admit it was pleasant.

"Vell, you'll have to try it vhen I'm sleeping. Rouge sayz I sleep like zee dead." The two laughed at the corny joke.

"What's so funny?" The two snickering teens looked up to see Lance with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Oh just zee roof and secret plots." Kurt said as the two burst out into laughter at their inside joke. Lance huffed out a sigh.

"Todd, what the hell do you think you are doing, hanging out with a x-geek?" The laughter died and Todd looked somewhat nervous.

"You know Lance, I'm glad zat you're worried. It's nice to know that Kitty has such a nice boyfriend." Kurt replied, catching the underline meaning. He walked passed the two, a slight rush too his steps.


He was sure she was there. The smell was beyond powerful and the paint fumes still lingered. Kurt gazed at the blocked off lounge that Melissa, Alice, and himself were to paint. Lunch had just started but his hunger died as soon as he smelled her. Alice was somewhere around this room.

Kurt didn't know why he was in such a state of panic and worry, he just felt that he had to confirm that she was okay. Every inch of his invisible fur was on end as he searched the surrounding hallways. His shadow vibrated as his panic cause it to mesh with the others. He felt a surge of pain and power overwhelm him as he quickened his pace.

Turning another corner, Kurt knew that something was wrong. Alice was leaning against a set of lockers, a blank look in her brown eyes.

"Alice!" he sighed/shouted in relief. "Vhere have you been all day? I missed you in science!" Happiness flooded him as he smiled at the girl he had become friends with. "Alice?" he asked after a minute of silence. The girl wore a long sweater and seemed to be hiding something large in her hand.

Turning to Kurt quickly, she grabbed his hand, ignoring the fur that he was sure she felt. Her pace was quick as she dragged him back to the broken glass the belonged to the lounge. Kurt's form shook as he glanced at their hands, quickly taking his back as soon as they had stopped. "Alice? Vhat's vrong?" fear filled his voice as he felt sobs coming. Why was he crying?!

Alice turned to face him and the blue mutant back up into the wall, scared of the dull brown eyes. "Yesterday, you freaked out in this room. Why?" her voice was dull, emotionless. Kurt held his breath as another wave of fear washed over him. Why was she acting this way?

"B-because of zee fumes. R-remember?" His voice shook, clearly showing state of mind. Alice smiled, in a haunting, almost possessed way.

"Is it because of the memories? Because of that room?" Kurt's breathing stopped. How did she know about that?!

"Or is it because of the screams? The blood dripping like molasses down your face."

"Please stop..." he cried out softly, trembling hard.

"Why should I Kurt? Or should I say 0?!" she shouted at him, revealing the gun she had hidden in her sweater. Fear filled his eyes. "How does it feel Kurt? To be the one to be faced with death? Huh?"

"Vhy are you doing zis!?" he cried out, he was sure, so sure, that no one had survived that place not after he, after he...

"Because you killed me. Because you told me your blood thirsty name!" Her voice was deathly quite, murderously even. "I'll make sure you pay by killing this girl. And what better way..." She turned her head, so that the side of her face was facing Kurt. The barrel of the gun placed at her temple, the gun indirectly pointing at him. "Than this?"

A shot rang out as blood covered him. Her blood. And before he could do anything, anger, hatred, and murder filled his eyes. In that split second that the shot rang out, long arms stretched out of the shadows that littered the hall. In that split second that it took for the bullet to kill Alice, it took for the arms to rips apart her body, shredding blood all around them. In that split second where only Kurt could exist, he painted the walls with another innocents blood as he name was once more spoken as the girl's dying words.


The fire went unnoticed by all but the mutants. The sound seemed to be accented in their ears and both the x-men and the brotherhood dashed out to find the source of the shot. Unfortunately for them, and epically Kurt, some others trickled out with them.

They arrived at the scene only to come to a sharp stop at the sight. Blood infected the walls and several organs were torn from a mutilated corpse. There was no way that the deceased could be determined unless one asked who it was from the only witness.

Kurt sat there, leaning against the wall, shaking madly. His body was covered in the unholy blood that appeared black against his fake human skin. A certain organ was right in front of him, invading his vision making it impossible to look away. A bloody torn heart that had long stopped beating seemed to mock him.

Kitty clung to Lance at the sight and several of the mutants turned away in disgust. Only Pietro, Lance, and Scott could bare staring at the red-colored scene in front of them.

"Jean." Scott's voice was shaking. "Contact the professor right away." He gulped as the pale faced girl slowly nodded her head.

"Of course..."


Police were at the scene, students and teachers were being rushed around, a clean up crew came to collect what the could and try to figure out who had died. All the people who rushed around him were nothing but blurs. Voices were muffled and he felt distant from the world. The blanket that was wrapped around him provided little to no warmth. All that he could see, think and hear were Alice's final words as his name gave birth to another demon inside him. One that killed the girl named Alice and thus, stole her name.

Welcome to the family, Alice...Mike's sickishly sweet voice rang out in Kurt's mind. Tears streamed down Kurt's soulless eyes.


The professor sat beside Kurt, a worried expression on his face. The boy had been staring blankly at the ground for the past twenty minutes, giving no response to anything. The police had already questioned the others and the group of teens now littered the stairs around Kurt. Worry also filled their eyes and faces at Kurt's dead mind. Neither of the telepaths could pick up anything, it was as if he wasn't even there.

"Any response?" Asked one of the police officers.

"I'm afraid not. The boy seems to be in a wheel of shock." Xavier spoke quietly. The police officer scratched his neck.

"I'm sorry to continue to bug you, it just that-"

"It's not every day that a mutilated corpse is found." Rouge finished for him, spitting out the words.

"Now Rouge..." The girl stood, shaking.

"No! Kurt didn't do this! He wouldn't even hurt a fly so no way in hell would he tear someone apart!" The two adults fell into a uncomfortable silence.

"I agree with Rouge, Chuck. Kurt just isn't like that." Logan said softly.

"I'm afraid he will still need to be questioned." A growl rose in the gruff man's throat.

"Logan!"

"I don't like him Chuck, not one bit." The man rubbed his temples. Another message had been flung at him. Warning him that 'they' were coming and that there was only one left. Charles didn't know who 'they' were, but he didn't like the sounds of only one left.


Kurt slowly raised his head, looking at the bloody rags and clothes being carried into the unneeded ambulance. Flashes of the first time a person died came to mind. It was so much similar that it was almost funny. Almost.


"I hate you." A tall man spoke coldly at the small Kurt. "You come in here and all of a sudden we're nothing but trash! You're a fucking kid! Why the hell are you so damn important?" Kurt remembered now, he was the only child in there. Everyone else was at least twenty.

"Look at you, all you are is a fucking demon." Venom decorated his voice as he spat at Kurt. "The only thing you got going is your appearance! I mean seriously! I make myself stronger with my mutation. And what can you do? Teleport like some sort of pansy!"

The man was beyond insane, he had only been there a week before Kurt, the perfect weapon had shown up. He was their favorite before this thing came.

"You nothing but a piece of shit that should go die in hell!" Kurt remembered vaguely on how they called him 19.

"You know what, just watch their going to beat you so hard that you will hate all of this attention." Besides Kurt's 'special' physicals, they never harmed him.

"You little piece of shit! Look at me!" And even then it didn't really hurt. "You know what, YOU CAN BURN IN HELL!"

Kurt looked calmly at the man. He was already use to this kind of treatment from him. A sadist thought came to mind. "Hey, 19, want to know my real name?" He could barely his the smirk that adored his lips.

The man called 19 looked at him. If he really did tell him his name, he would be the first to know! He would definitely get something for that!

"Tell me." It was issued like an order. Kurt's smile seemed to split his face as he grinned widely.

The word (s) left his lips and seconds later, hands wrapped around 19, tearing, ripping, shredding. It was so wild that it appeared as if he had exploded. Kurt's closed his fanged smile in the need for a closed one as he saw the blood drip down from the cell.


"And so the cells creaks, as it bleeds, as the child dies..." his voice was barely above a whisper but Logan still heard it.

Story Notes

(1) This one was hard to accent because of the way it is said in English. So, using my awesome typing skills, I morphed it into something that sounds like a German accent...

Woo~ One of the key points just got triggered (excuse the horrible pun). Also, do you guys think this is, like a M? I would like to keep it rated at T (more people click on it that way) but I think it calls for M...
