Curiosity
Hudson's pov
I woke up to the sound of Susie shouting and pounding on my door, demanding I get up and come for breakfast. I groaned as I sat up. All my wounds had healed but I still weirdly felt pain. "I'll be down in a minute.. just let me get dressed ok?..." I tell her and the pounding finally stops. I ran my fingers through my hair, only to feel the cold feeling of the ring against my scalp, making me freeze.
I pulled my hand away and looked at the black ring sitting on my finger. Just as I remembered grandpa saying, I felt save and immediately better as I looked at it. I shook my head to wake myself up. I could hear Lucy's breathing, she's still asleep. I got dressed and decided I wasn't going to let her sleep in. I climbed up the ladder and picked her up, putting her over my shoulder. I brought her down, her almost slipping out of my arms because she was limp. I sat her on my bed and gently put her hoodie on her over the pyjamas we'd need gifted by jean. Then I made her wrap her arms around my neck and I gave her a piggy back.
Her head sat lazily on my shoulder. I was too lazy to put on shoes so I went out in my bare feet. I walked down the hall, ignoring the weird looks I was getting for still being in my pyjamas at this time of day. I went down the stairs and glanced at Lucy to see her waking up slightly. "Morning sleepy head" I told her. She glanced at me and smiled slightly. "Couldn't have just let me sleep in could you?" She asked me. I shook my head and continued walking till I saw the professor roll up beside us.
"Oh. Good morning sir" I said politely. I could practically feel my twin roll her eyes. "Just call him Charles huddy.." she told me but I ignored her. The professor chuckles and smiled. "Good to see you both up. You have a free day today and classes will begin tomorrow. Come to me later to get your timetable Alright?" He said to us. I nodded. "Good. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go sort out a guest" he told us as he turned and wheeled his way into the elevator and out of our sight. "Who's the guest ?.. I don't know who would want to be down there" I commented as I kept walking and keeping a tight grip on my sister.
"You don't want to know them huddy.. now walk faster ! I'm hungry dammit!" She yelled at me. "Hey you can walk you know! Besides aren't you supposed to be the animal one?" I asked her with a sly smile. "Oh Shut up you know that doesn't mean anything" she replied with a smile, her fangs glinting in the sunshine. Just as I was about to go into the dining hall I was blocked by a very annoyed Susie. "Where were you?!" She yelled at me. "I only took a few minutes, calm down" I told her. She grabbed my arm and basically forced me to drop my sister as she dragged me inside.
I glanced back to see Lucy being helped up by the man with red sunglasses as she glared daggers at Susie. I sighed as she forced me to sit alone with her on the other end of the table. She smiled at me and held my hands as she talked me about her day and how much she missed me. I will admit I did feel a bit loved as she did but my mind was more focused on Lucy, till I felt another pair of lips on mine and my thoughts melted away.
Lucy's pov
I glared daggers at that girl who was clinging to my brother like she owned him. A man who introduced himself as Scott helped me up. I remembered him from when I snuck down to see her that landed. But I decided that wasn't the best thing to bring up. We walked in together and I went to go to Rogue and the people sitting around her, only to see that girl and my brother kissing at the end of the hall. I felt my whole body freeze.
He looked happy.. I felt betrayed.. why did I feel betrayed?.. he's my twin.. I want him to be happy.. but.. with her ?... never.. I wanted to dig my claws into her. I felt tears of fear for losing him and anger if her even being near him well up in my eyes. She pulled away from the kiss and gave me a sly glance with a smirk. I ran out of the room to stop my rage from taking over. I heard Rogue screaming at me to come back. I didn't even hear Hudson.. he didn't even notice me. I ran through the halls and to the elevator. I went into the stairs and hugged my knees and I cried silently to myself.
What was wrong with me ?... was I seriously willing to kill someone over kissing my brother ?... I must be going insane... I felt my claws scrape off my knees but I didn't care. I stayed there for what felt like hours, I even heard people running up and down the stairs, some of them chatting about everyday things and the rare few looking for me. None of them were Hudson.. I waited till I heard no more voices before getting out from my hiding space. I look around and see nothing. I pull up my hood and try to get to my room without being noticed, only to see the elevator open.
I wiped away my tears as they blurred my sight and stared at it did a moment. No one was in it. And I was sure I'd heard Charles leave. Curiosity burned in my chest as I decided to get answers. He was like me.. maybe he could explain.. and answer for what he helped do to my family..
When I was sure no one was near I ran to it and went down to the metal halls. I down quietly, my bare feet hitting off the cold floor and I clung to my hoodie for warmth. It felt like a damn freezer in here.. suddenly I heard what sounded like claws dragging down off metal. I covered my ears from the agonising sound till it stopped. There he is.. I went to the door and opened it, slamming it behind me and making sure it was locked. But I couldn't see him. My eyebrows furrowed as I looked around, only to be tackled and slammed face first into the ground.
I cursed under my breath as I felt a knee on my back and a clawed hand holding my head down, the claws leaving little cuts as they got longer. He was trying to scare me. It wasn't working but I could tell he was trying. "It takes a lot of nerve to come see me after what I did to you last time. I'm sure those bruise haven't healed yet" he told me as he pulled my hood down. "What? Am I not allowed to be curious?"I asked him. He got off me and lifted me up by the scruff of my neck like a dog. He snickered my annoyed expression. "You seem to be handling those injuries pretty well though runt. I'm impressed. What can I do for you?" He asked me, digging his claws into the back of my neck, but not enough to make me bleed. But it'll definitely bruise.
"Your like me. I need to know. I almost killed someone today.. why?" I asked him. He dropped me and chuckled. I barley landed on my feet but when I did pain shot up my ankles making me stumble. "It's obvious isn't it? You wanted them dead. And you know there was no one better to do the job then you" He told me as if it were obvious. "But I'm not a murderer!" I scream at him, almost attacking him out of instinct. Before I could even get an inch closer to him I was up against the wall with his hand around my neck and the air slowly being starved from my lungs.
I scratched at his hand till it was a bloody mess but it kept healing and he didn't even flinch. "Yes you are. Your an animal. Your not their friend and your not their enemy. It's in your nature. You kill for the thrill of it. If you keep dying it you'll end up like jimmy. You're body gets tired of being forced to suppress its urges and it ends up taking control when your asleep" He told me as my vision started to darken. He dropped me and I felt air finally enter me. I gasped heavily as I tried to get as much as possible.
He just went to the corner of the room and sat down, not seeming to even notice if I was still there as he used a piece of metal to sharpen his claws. I held my neck in pain as I felt the bruises coming on. I quickly left the cell, not even thinking to check if I'd locked it or not. I quickly went up in the elevator and pulled up my hood to hide the scratches on my face and my badly bruising neck. It hurt to breath and talk. So I stayed silent. I snuck through the crowd of students walking down the stairs, Hudson and that girl in the middle of them.
I let my claws sharpen and I held them out as I walked by, slicing open the side of the girl's shirt and lightly cutting her side. Not enough to cause any permanent damage but enough to give her a damn warning. Before she even noticed I was gone and in my room. I caused her pain. And I liked it.. maybe he was right
