Prologue

He saw from across the room she looked lost and afraid. He picked up his beer and crossed the dimly light bar. At a closer look he realized that maybe he was so drawn to her because she reminded him of Marie. She was about Marie's age, she wore a long black coat with the hood down reviling her short, light brown hair, her skin was pail like she hadn't seen the sun in a year. She sat there seeming so helpless.

"hi," he said sitting down next to the girl, "my name's wolverine."

"I don't think you want to talk to me," the girl said looking at him and then back at the drink in front of her.

"sure I do but it would help if I knew your name," wolverine said still looking at her. There was something about this girl.

"my name doesn't matter but you can call me Vamp," she said now letting a tear slide down her cheek.

Wolverine leaned close and whispered "you're a mutant aren't you."
