The Beginning
Chapter 1: Homeless
In the past, it was a regular day. The streets weren't busy, the leaves were colorful, and the air had the chill of October.
It was Louise's 6th birthday. She had been waiting for this day to come for a really long time. She had laid out her plans for the perfect day the night before.
Now, it was morning. Louise woke up as usual with a tingle of excitement. "Alright," Louise said to herself, "let the fun and excitement begin"
Then, she went downstairs and her parents shouted, "Happy birthday, Louise!"
Louise smiled with excitement. In her head were her plans: to open her presents, then eat cake, go to the movies after that, and then go out for cookies and cream ice cream; and all the gift possibilities: a doll, a stuffed animal, a Gameboy Advanced, and/or a pet, probably a mouse for starters. She spotted a small box on the table and her excitement shriveled away. She opened it and saw two things: a silver-colored bracelet, and a ring, with some cubic zirconia stones decorated on it.
"The ring is cute," Louise said, picking up the ring. She saw that it couldn't fit her yet and slipped it in her pocket. Then, she picked up the bracelet, observed it for a few seconds, and asked,"Uuuuuhhhhh, what is the bracelet for?"
"It's shock-proof. That means that you can't get a shock as long as you're wearing it," her mom answered, "I used to own these things, and I feel that it's time I gave it to you.
"Thanks, mom," Louise replied with a hug.
Later, after the movie, which was an action flick, was when real trouble started.
Louise and her parents were walking through the alley, which they go through to get home, and then they talked.
"Louise?" her father called.
"Yeah, dad?"
"I wanted to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"Well, we hid this from you for a really long time, but I know you can handle it."
"Well, what is it if you hid it for so-"
Louise was interrupted by a guy, wearing a black mask holding a gun pointing at Louise's head, that said, "Freeze!"
The family stood stiff, except that the parents knew that their daughter would be safe because of their secret.
"Now, give all your money and jewelry, and nobody gets hurt," the mystery guy said, drawing himself closer to the family.
"No!" the mother exclaimed.
"Bad answer, lady!" the angry thief shouted, and put his finger near the trigger. Before he pulled it, something mysterious happened. Louise suddenly couldn't be seen by anyone, although she was at the same spot she was. She realized that, and she snuck behind the thief.
It all happened too fast. The murderer shot Louise's parents and ran away, unnoticed by the one he couldn't see: Louise herself. She was visible again after the thief ran away, and she slowly walked towards her parents. "Mom? Dad?" she whispered in their ears.
Her mother then told her something shocking. "You're a mutant," Louise's mom admitted, "We just couldn't tell you in the past because we couldn't let you go."
Louise's eyes filled with tears because of her parents' bloody corpses.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Louise shrieked and broke down into tears.
At the funeral, she thought, 'This is it?! Now, I want revenge on the guy who killed my parents, NO MATTER WHAT!!!'
