Ok, so here it is! I've FINALLY started writing this fanfic down! cue fanfare

Oh right…The disclaimer. I don't own any of the X-men, except the ones I make up. So if you don't recognize it, then either 1) it's mine or 2) I've got something totally mixed up. I'm gonna try to stick to OCs I think. Mostly because I can completely contort and pretty much do whatever I want to them. If I did the same to any Canon characters, I'd probably be lynched by fangirls.

And just a warning, I wrote this first chapter a VERY long time ago. …yes I know it sucks, but bear with me. I'm trying to keep it from becoming all dark and angsty.

Chapter 1

There was a bright flash of light. A miniature sun, appear from no where, blinding the men surrounding her for the critical minute she needed. Curiously, there seemed to be no light down the barren hallway she was in, though the lights should have still been on.

The girl strode purposely to the wall and looked up at the thick strand of wires winding down the hallway. There was a subtle click, as a small blade appeared in her previously empty hand, and then, a shower of sparks…and all light went out.

She was now in her element. She was shadow and light, they didn't affect her sight like it would mere mortals.

She started to slink quickly down the hall desperately looking for an exit, even a window. This way that way up one hallway down another. She wound her way though an impossible labyrinth of barren concrete, her breath coming to her now in short gasps and all around her were heavy metal doors.

Suddenly, an alarm started to scream shrilly, while the air around her turn momentarily blue with an array of colourful and creative choice words in various languages.

The sound of feet pounding concrete and shouting echoed from down the hall but she couldn't tell which way they were coming.

She found a hidden corner and pulled the shadows closer to hide her, but it was useless.

The soldiers knew she was there. How, she couldn't say. She felt a sharp prick in her shoulder, and looked startled to find a small dart. She tried to pull it out, but her arms felt like they were made of lead.

The world around her started dimming, and all she could see was shapes. Dark shapes that hauled her rapidly numbing body and she felt herself being… held by… something. Inwardly, she was reeling. That was it. Her one chance to escape, and she had completely messed it up. She tried to struggle, but she felt herself unwillingly being dragged somewhere. She realized with wide eyed panic, that she couldn't move. Her eyes closed leaving only sound to tell her what was happening.

Pain flashed as she was thrown against cold metal where she was bound painfully.

From an eternity away, there was a crash. Her muddled brain told her that she was hearing screams, sobs, yells - but none of them made sense.

A heavy door creaking open, glass breaking, sobs of joy now? More yelling; some quick words; the feel of a hand on her forehead – sounds flooded her. The numbness in her limb started to fade, and she felt herself go limp. The restraints that bound her so painfully suddenly were the only things keeping her from crumpling to the ground.

"It's ok." A voice told her. "You're ok."

She blacked out entirely.

Back at Xavier's school for Gifted Youngsters, Olivia woke up with a curse. In the bed beside her, Olivia's twin sister, Zoe, was tossing furiously. The two of them shared a tight physic bond and sometimes shared their visions. Apparently this was one of those times.

Zoe struggled with the throws of wakefulness, twisting her blankets around her. With one final jolt she fell off the bed with a shriek.

Identical eyes looked back at her in panic.

'Calm down. Calm down.' Olivia berated herself, 'Don't worry…It hasn't happened yet.'

It's really short I know, but I'm post chapter 2 at the same time so don't worry. I'm going to try to do this so that I'm a few chapters ahead, but not yet. I'm going to wait until I get some reviews to tell me how I'm doing. YES THAT WAS A NOT SO SUBTLE HINT TO REVIEW! I don't care if it's less than two letters, as long as it's there!
