DISCLAIMER: I do not own X-Men. I only own the people of Ladon, my OC (Sapphire) and her parents.
Summary: When a mystery girl, Alyssa Fall, turns up at the mansion, everyone thinks she's just another typical mutant. Then why is she constantly on the run? Who are the people who are chasing her? And who is she really? Sam is determined to get know her and the truth behind her lies.

Now, a Prologue:
"Sapphire! Where are you?" a young woman in her mid-thirties, searched the house for her young seven-year-old daughter.
"Over here, Mommy!" Sapphire giggled whilst re-appearing.
"Oh! There you are!" The woman picked up her daughter, taking her upstairs. "What have I told you about using your powers?" The little girl hung her head, golden hair fell in her face.
"Not to use them before bed..." she mumbled. Suddenly, Sapphire looked up at her mother; her deep blue eyes shining, like real sapphires. "Mommy! Look what I can do"
"No, not-"
Sapphire clapped her hands together.
Instantly, everything around her froze. Her father, who was sitting at his laptop, had frozon mid-way in drinking his coffee. Sapphire's fish tank filled with a range of exotic fish, had all stopped in their tracks. She took a while to admire her work before turning to her mother.
Sapphire's mother was also frozen. Her mouth was open, as if was stopped in the middle of a sentence, (which she was).
Sapphire then reached up to touch her mother's cheek and concentrated hard. A few seconds later, her mother unfroze. The look on her face was a mixture of amazement and surprise.
"Did you do this?" her mother asked.
Sapphire nodded.
"I can also turn back time!"
"Can you unfreeze everything and go to bed now?" her mother asked. Sapphire frowned but did what her mother asked. When Sapphire was tucked away in bed and about to fall asleep, she heard footsteps and turned to her door. Her parents entered.
Sapphire looked almost exactly like her mother, except for her eyes and nose. Her mother also had honey blonde, wavy hair hair and an oval face. She had deep green eyes and a curvy mouth. Sapphire's father on the other hand had brown spiky hair and deep blue eyes. He too, had an oval face. (1). Her family were also very rich.
"Hey, glad you're not asleep yet! We have something for you!" Her father whispered. Sapphire sat up.
"We wanted to give it to you tomorrow for your birthday, but we decided to give it to you now." Her mother said.
They handed over a red velvet box to Sapphire. She opened it and gasped.
Inside, there was a gold heart-shaped locket, which was studdedd with small sapphires to outline the shape of the heart. On the front, the word 'Love' was engraved onto it with a very elegent script. Sapphire turned the locked over. On the back the message: 'Dear Sapphire, Happy 8th Birthday! Mom & Dad' inscribed in the same beautiful script.
"Open it." Her mother smiled. Sapphire did so and grinned at the pictures. Inside, there were two different pictures on either side of the heart. The one on the left showed Sapphire by herself on a swing; her blond hair blowing in the wind and ocean eyes shining. The one on the right was a picture of her parents, smiling up at her.
"This will remind you that we are always here with you, no matter what." Her mother explained, whilst putting the thin golden chain round her neck and clipping it in place.
"Thank you!" Sapphire said.
"Right, now time to go to bed!"
A couple hours later, Sapphire awoke to the sound of an argument downstairs.
Instantly, she jumped out of bed and turned invisible. She scurried to the top of the stairs before waiting on the top step, straining her ears to listen carefully to the argument, which sounded like it was coming to the living room.
"Mr. Johnson, we can offer her amazing oppurtunities at LADON!" A man with a deep voice spoke.
"You cannot take our child!" That voice belonged to her mother. It sounded as if she was avout to cry.
Sapphire descended a few of the carpeted steps to get a better view of the living room.
Her parents were seated on their beige couch. They were surrounded by about six people in some sort of variation of an army suit. They each had guns. There were a man and a woman, both in black business suits and sunglasses.
Suddenly, the man in the suit looked directly at Sapphire! But there was no way that he could have seen her! She and all her clothes were invisible!
"How can we give her up to you? We don't even know what sort of company or business you have! How do we know you just want to use her for your own experiments!" Her father was now shouting at the two people in the black suits. Each word was louder than the previous and his face was getting redder and redder. He was about the throw a punch when -
BANG!
A shot rang out, Sapphire clamped her eyes shut at the sound.
When she did re-open them, she saw her father on the ground, blood leaking from his head and her mother leaning over his body...
"WHY? Why did you do that?" Her mother screamed at the man in the suit.
"He was going to punch me."
"Well, of course he was going to punch you! You're taking our daughter away from us! How dare you...you MONSTER!"
"You can either give up your daughter or suffer the same fate as your husband." the woman said very simply.
Sapphire's mother looked like she was considering this.
All of a sudden, she ran for the door towards main entrance, where the stairs were.
Another shot rang out.
Sapphire had just witnessed her parents' murder.
The last thing Sapphire saw was her mother's dead body being dragged away, before she too, blacked out. She had been shot in the neck with a tranquilizer dart.
(1) Descriptions aren't one of my strengths...
Sapphire is my OC.
LADON is my own secret company, it's going to be something like a sister company of HYDRA. When I looked up HYDRA, it doesn't stand for anything but it's just named after a creature from the Greek Mythology. So is LADON.
Does anyone want me to do like a character profile? It's going on my profile if anyone's interested!
Please review and tell me what you think! Thanks!
