Animal Instincts (Kurt x OC)

Chapter 3

After we took off and got into a steady speed kurt moved from the co-pilot seat and stood in front of us all.

"Hello everyone, I know you are probably confused right now, but we will explain everything in detail when we return to the school. There you will make the choice to stay or go home." Everyone looked excited at the idea of going home, but I just looked to the floor. I didn't notice Kurt walking up and sitting next to me until he put his hand on my knee.

"I know you want to find your parents, but we honestly don't know where or who they are." Kurt's voice was sad. I couldn't bring myself to move his three fingered hand from my knee, it felt right.

"It's alright Kurt. I already knew that. So I guess I'm living at this school with you then, right?" I didn't want Kurt to be upset.

"Yes, I'm sure you will love it there. There are a few other students who live there now, but I don't think any of these guys will stay. None of them have been in that facility longer than a month and they probably miss their families.", Kurt explained. This made me wonder about Kurt's family, but I decided to save questions for later. The lights on the plane were bright and I couldn't see Kurt very well even in this close proximity.

"Oh, right", Kurt interjected my thoughts, "I never got your name. For the mission the Professor only told us what you looked like and said you could introduce yourself." More questions came to my mind every time he spoke, but again I decided to keep them to myself because I assumed they would be answered at this school we were going to.

"I'm Rozalia", I said shyly and a blush came to my face. I was always unsure about telling people my name because I didn't know if it was my real name or one Striker gave me. So, moments where I had to tell people my name tended to embarrass me. I'm guess Kurt noticed my blush and wrapped his tail around mine before speaking.

"Your name is beautiful. It fits you well.", Kurt said while starring into my eyes. I couldn't help the small smile that came to my face and the deepening in color of the now fire red blush on my cheeks. We held eye contact for a moment and I tightened the grip on his tail with mine. Unfortunately the moment of nice relaxing trust was broken when Logan yelled from the front.

"Elf you can flirt with the new recruit later. Come help me land this thing." With that the moment was gone and Kurt stood to leave.

Flying didn't seem to bother me, but it is a little weird and frightening when the jet your on starts flying straight for a cliff side. I squeezed my eyes shut and when I opened them we had come to a complete stop inside of what looked like a hanger. I didn't get a good look around before the lights were turned on and everyone was ushered off the jet.

"Kurt?", I called out blindly.

"I'm right here was wrong aren't you coming?", he sounded concerned.

"I'm fine", I responded, "but I can't see very well in the light. Could you help me.?" I could have made it around the whole school with just using my echolocation, but I wanted to hold Kurt's hand. Plus I'm tired and echolocation is a lot harder when I'm sleepy.

"Alright, come on", Kurt said with a light air as he took my hand in his. As we walked to the elevator that would take us up to the ground level I wondered why he didn't just teleport us there, but didn't think it was important so I ignored my ever constant curiosity.

The rest of the walk to the main foyer was in silence, but it wasn't awkward at all. I could make out the figures of people ahead if us, but they looked different than the kids on the plane. These must be the teachers and other students.

"Jean would you mind dimming the lights please", said a British voice. They voice came from a man who seemed to be in a wheelchair.

"Why?", asked the girl with red hair who I could safely say was Jean.

"Jean", said the man in a reprimanding tone.

"Sorry Professor", she said back sounding defeated. Was this the Professor Kurt was talking about on the jet? Kurt was still next to me holding my hand. I would feel a tickle run up my spine when our tails would accidentally touch. I couldn't tell if he was doing it on purpose or not though. The lights were dimmed dramatically and I felt the relief of being able to see again.

"Now that all of us can see, I shall introduce myself. I am Professor Charles Xavier. I'm the headmaster here.", Charles said with a small knowing smile never seeming to leave his face.

"Hello Charles and ...everyone else. I'm Rozalia, but I'm sure you already knew that.", I was speaking quietly feeling shy as everyone stared at me.

"Everyone you should head up to your rooms and leave us to talk, but do at least introduce yourselves on your way up", Charles told all of the others in the room. Even the adults who I thought to be teachers listened.

"Hey I'm Scott", said a tall brunet boy with red sunglasses. He quickly walked away to his room. I would have seen this as rude, but as many people wanted to introduce themselves I thought nothing if it.

Many others walked by in the same manner. Storm was a professor here with stark white hair and dark skin. Jean I knew of, she was a skinny and very pretty red head girl. Next was Kitty, she looked a bit younger than the others and had a valley girl accent. The others I already knew so they walked by just saying a simple goodnight.

"Kurt, she can see now you can let go of her hand. ", Charles said teasingly. Kurt's cheeks turned purple in a slight blush as he quickly dropped my hand and stood a bit farther away. I couldn't help but giggle and apparently the professor thought it amusing as well because he joined me.

"Wait here Kurt and I will call you when you can show her to her room.", the professor said the the disgruntled blue boy.

"Yes professor", Kurt said quietly.
I followed the professor down a hallway and into what looked like his office. There were two chairs in front of a large desk that didn't have a chair at all.

"So Rozalia how are you feeling?", he asked me after rolling behind his desk and he's turning for me to sit in one of the chairs.

"A lot better now sir. Thank you for saving me.", I said whilst sitting down.

"I'm sorry we can't take you home in the morning like the others, but you can stay here. You will go to the local high school with the other students and be trained here to better control your powers. What do you think?", the professor had obviously had this talk before with other students. It did seem odd though how he looked as if he already knew what my answer was. He chuckled before speaking again.

"I do already know what your answer is because I am telepathic. I can read and control minds. You have nothing to fear though, I will never use my powers for unjust purposes", he explained.

"Okay then, when do I start school and such then?", I asked as if he hadn't just told me he could control people's minds.

"Quite eager you are, but I'm afraid we will have to work that out tomorrow as it is quite late.", he stopped talking and I could tell he was telling Kurt to come and get me.

"Alright but I have one more question sir", I added before Kurt came. "What day is it?" He chuckled, but I was being entirely serious.

"It is Saturday the 14 of February" he informed before Kurt appeared beside me.

"Ready to go?", asked the cute German.

"Sure am", I said with a smile. Kurt held out his hand and when I grabbed it we were in a hallway upstairs. Doors that all looked the same on both sides. The only way to tell them apart were the posters or names people put up. Most of the rooms with posters were on the other end of the hall.

"Professor suggested you have a room by mine. I'm not not sure why.", Kurt stated.

"I don't know, but I like it", I said trying to flirt. Being held captive all my life left me a bit behind in this department. I must have worked at least a little seeing as Kurt's cheeks turned purple again.

"I'm just across the hall if you need me beautiful.", he attempted to flirt back. He seemed to be just as bad as it as me. I guess people like us don't exactly turn heads in that way.
