I offered my hand to the fire the sparks lept against my skin like embers . Mutation. my mom says it's a so called gift but in reality she wishes I didn't have it . I can't control it . I can't hide it. It's more than just flame i can feel peoples feelings when I touch someone , also my skin turns blue when I am angry. Lucky me. It's 1962 people act like the whole Nazi thing was in the distant past. I will never forget , I remember that rainy day when I looked through my fathers office to see a boy who was like me . I am not alone in this big world , I am not the only mutant . He was about 15 he had brown hair and seemed to be underfed . Of course he was , he was a Jew . I wished that I didn't have to be associated with this whole madness but you can't run from being the daughter of a military officer . One night a few weeks after I saw the boy my father was killed by Shaw a mad scientist that worked for him , my fathers screams filled through the camp . I ran to see him on the floor blood was everywhere he must have been stabbed at least three times I ran towards him and held him sure he deserved it but he will always be my father I cried . And in a corner I saw Shaw with a wicked smile on his face and him putting his finger to my lips as to shush me . I felt his happiness he felt no remorse for anything he did . He patted my head and walked out leaving me with my father . And since that day I promised myself I will kill Shaw .
I was walking outside it was very nasty outside. I walked by a few men each nodding at me . Of course they notice the rich girl with a huge dowry a mile away . A man walked into me i fell . Clumsy ass me of course I fell . The man offered me a hand . He was quite skinny but still muscular he had dark brown hair and was wearing a creamish hat He had a briefcase . Must be some man I business I too his hand and saw the numbers inscribed on his arm 214782 . He felt sadness, hate, and guilt for what he's about to do.
" I am sorry miss" he said . He had a German accent .
Dumbfounded I couldn't say anything he checked if I was hurt . Than nodded as if he understood and continued his rugged pace .
Dammit Arina chase after him
I jogged and caught up to the man .
" Sir I am terribly sorry that I didn't say anything. May I ask who are you"
Great now I sound like some sort of freak
He only smiled .
" Lehnsherr" he said quickly "Erik Lehnsherr"
I tried to make small talk and continued walking with him
" May I ask why you decided to follow me"
I stared at him for s brief moment what did I think . Was I going to just say "hey sorry that my people ruined and kill innocents". I am an idiot what should I say . Why did I even follow him it's like fate wants me to speak to him.
" Erik have you heard of some sort of mutation happening"
He stared at me , I was confused we stopped walking and he grabbed my arm and took me to an alleyway and violently trew me on the ground.He manipulated a piece of metal and pointed it towards me.
" How did you find me"
Could this be the boy that I saw years ago?
I couldn't hold my tongue.
" Are you that boy that some officers were talking about the one that controls metal the one they call Magneto"
The metal started cutting the side of me neck it couldn't kill me just hurt me at least at this point .I touched his cheek he seemed even more conflicted .
" I will not go back to being one of Shaw's damn experiments. I will not stop till I kill him"
He continued on but my rational mind took hold and I burned his cheek . It wouldn't scar him but just hurt him .i ran as fast as I could .
" You hate Shaw as much as I do ! And your a so called mutant! May we meet again in different circumstances"
I called out he looked at me confused but I continued running until I saw a bar I ran inside it .
There were lots of people but a young gentlemen caught my eye . He was chugging down some beer and talking to a beautiful young women with two different peculiar set of eye colors . I sat near them .
" My my my you have a very groovy mutation that makes you have two different eye colors"
Mutation !
Another women walked up and interrupted his flirting and walked out of the bar . And then again I followed them . I tapped the man shoulder he stared at me . My skin touched his neck for some reason he felt as if he understood something .
" Um sir" I interrupt" I am sorry but I overheard you talking to your" I paused seeing he women next too him " date but you mentioned something about mutation ."
The girl looked at me as if she were angry with me .
" What the hell do you want Blondie"
Blondie? How nice .
" Excuse my sister Raven. Arina perhaps we should meet up tomorrow and we could chat"
How'd he know my name . And why tomorrow?
" uh that's great May I ask how'd you know my name mister..."
" Charles , you didn't think you were the only one did you. Well based on your experiences with Erik I am sure you know see you tomorrow ms rudaslof"
And with that he and His sister not date walked off.
I wonder why I did the things I did today but I don't regret it . I looked to my side to see the ally way where I met magneto. I was walking and bumped into yet another man but when I touched him he seemed to have a sick desire. He and another man chuckled to themselves .
" well well well looks like this little kitty got lost"
One of them said
" please excuse me i am sorry that I bumped into you good day"
They were obviously drunk I could smell the alcohol rolling off there breath .
" you think we'd let a pretty young girl like you go that easy"
he had a wicked gleam in his eyes before they could take another step closer to me I used fire to burn the hell out of these perverts and ran .
It's the next the day . I am supposed to be meeting Charles today terrific. I walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror I looked the same . The same heart shaped faced, thin pinkish lips , I had an odd hair color well it was blond but it seemed metallic it started straight but ended curly. And the same bright obnoxious blue eyes . Than my eyes landed to the scar it wasn't that bad but it was still visible now I have to wear even more foundation to hide those ridiculous freckles and my scar .
I put on pair of black pants and a white blouse ant trotted outside and walked into the bar . No time , blast what am I going to do if he doesn't show up wait like a sad puppy all day . I sighed deeply.
"Sir" I called out to the bartender " May I have a bear please"
" Sure thing" he handed it too me
I started chugging it down some people were staring. But who cares me them stare .
" Damn" said the man who was sitting next too me
He was smoking a cigar and drank some beer himself.
" What think that a girl can't drink"
He chuckled waving his cigar in the air
" Not after what I just saw"
I smirked and saw his dog tags he must be in the army . It said wolverine perhaps it's some inside joke. A man pointed a gun at the " wolverine" .
" where's my money jackass you owe me five sixty"
" here" I said hoping there would be no violence " I have your money"
I opened my wallet and offered it to the man.
He walked away satisfied . The man looked at me in disbelief.
" if your going to ask me why I did that is because I can't stand seeing people get hurt anymore and I am sure I man drunk with dog tags suck as your self could do a lot of damage to an elderly gentleman such as him."
I spoke the truth and I sounded so pathetic.
" What's your name kid?"
" Kid I am 25 thank you very much" I snapped " my names Arina what's yours I am sure it isn't wolverine"
Logan"
" Well Logan you do owe me" he grumbled something " hand me a cigar"
" What" he raised one of his eyebrows that I thought it might have went into his hair.
" I gave you five hundred and sixty dollars and I want a cigar"
He laughed and handed me one who cared how ladylike I was acting. I tried to smoke it but inhaled it wrong and started coughing like an idiot. He patted my back till it went away .
" guessing you don't smoke much"
I shook my head and drunk some more .
" May I ask why did you owe that man money"
He starred at me .
" Sorry confidential"
" Okay I understand no need telling a stranger your life stories"
" Wolverine" the bartender said " the opponents here fights about to happen"
He nodded and got up and went into this sort of cage looking area. And inside their there was A tall muscular man that could probably squash Logan if he wanted to.
I came to the side of the cage where Logan was .
" Logan" I breathed
" Came to watch the show?"
" Be careful please"
I feel as if he was a good friend even though I met him an hour ago .
He started at me with disbelief. He nodded and the fight began . The man punched Logan in the face he stumbled down blood was coming out his nose . He got up shaking most likely because of all those drinks . Logan tried to punch the man but he missed poorly and ended up just looking like a fool .
" You got this Logan! Observe"
He glanced at me . The opponent was running towards him but he kicked him in the stomach he stumbled but didn't fall . Logan looked at me expectedly I handed him a chair he hit the man and he fell . There were boos in the crowd but I kept screaming and clapping and cheering for Logan . I was met with glares from my surrounding peers Logan gave me this crooked smile.
" Remind me never to get on your bad side" I told him I punched his shoulder.
" Arina you would never be able too"
We both smiled at each other and sat down and we drank some more . We sat next to each other .
" How'd you get tha scar on your head"
He touched it I shuddered
" I spoke when I shouldn't ."
That reminded me of Shaw . I told him too stop hurting magneto and he hit me and I hit my head in a piece of glass on the floor
He looked at me with concern
" what's your life story"
I tried to change the subject he must have noticed
" I woke up havin no memory at all stole a Rv and a truck . Discovered brawling cigars and beer . And lived on the move ever since."
" that sounds ...wonderful"
"Sure I guess. What's yours?"
I trust him but not enough.how would he react with mine . Before I had to confess .Charles walked in and sat next to me .
" Ah another mutant that's nice" me and Logan stared st each other wide eyed " I have a proposition for you two..."
And that's the end of chapter one please review and like it it's really hard to write these. Will be updating tomorrow
