Chapter One
The New Girl
The girl glances about the forest around her, sensing someone following her. Making sure her dagger is wear she can reach it she continues to walk. Hearing a twig snap, she spreads her wings and leaps into the nearest tree just as a shadow rushes toward her. The shadow stops and spins around, growling and searching for her. Suddenly the Moonlight bursts through the branches above the shadow to reveal the werewolf, a mutant after her for his boss. Gasping, knowing she had nearly got caught once again, she almost loses her grip on the branch she has a hold of, causing the werewolf to look up at her as a few twigs rain down. He grins and starts up the tree toward her. Knowing she doesn't have any other choice she climbs higher and opening her wings all the way she leaps up and away the tree, praying for a wind to catch her. Luckily there was a sudden rather strong breeze that carried her over and away from the forest. Landing somewhat ungracefully she quickly jumps to her hooves when she hears a howling come from the forest and races for shelter. Folding her wings tight against her back as she reaches the huge main doors, she pushes them open and enters, her hooves lightly tapping against the floor, announcing her presence. She hides in the shadows when she hears voices coming her way and shrinks even further into the shadows when she notices the voices belonged to the ones who misunderstood her the most, Humans. She would of gone unnoticed if a bit of moonlight hadn't hit her horn. Cursing her fate to have been born as she was the girl slowly steps out of the shadows, refusing to look up, revealing herself. Feeling a hand underneath her chin she dares to look up and meets the kindest pair of black eyes and can't help but smile at the woman before her. "What is you're name?" She gently asks her, making her go bright red, her silver eyes unreadable. "I was given the name Daminas by my father." She replies, her voice slightly curt.
"There is no need to be run any more Daminas, you are safe here. We would like to help you if you will let us." Comes a voice in her mind. She jumps slightly, looking for the source of the voice and the others in front of her smile, parting to let the one who talked to her through.
"Hello Daminas and welcome to my school for gifted youngsters. Here, if you stay, you will find the peace you seek as well as friends. I am Professor Xavier. That is Scott, Storm and Jean." He says. Daminas nods answering his question.
"I would be honored to stay here at you're school Professor Xavier. I have been looking for a place where I am welcome even though I am what I am, but I um... am curious. How did you know my name?"
"I am Telekinetic, which means I can read and control a person's mind as well as move objects with my mind. It seems that you have yet to discover you're mutant power though you will find it out soon. Now I'm sure you're tired, Storm will you show Daminas to a room." Xavier asks and wheels off to his room. Storm smiles and after helping Daminas get settled in goes back to bed.
Chapter Two
Mutant High
Daminas woke up to the sight of one of the other girls face right above her's, her brownish red and white hair up in a tail. Sitting up she stretches asking, "What time is it?" Daminas yawns and climbs out of bed to get dressed, taking a pair of bleached washed jeans and a white, winged unicorn, short-sleeved shirt from the girl, thanking her. Once dressed she works on putting her white midback length hair and knee length tail into braids.
"You must be Daminas. Hurry or you are going to miss breakfast." The girl hollers as she leaves the room, meeting up with some of the other students there.
Her walking into the eating area caused all of the other students to grow silent as they stared at her. Getting nervous she quickly gets some breakfast then leaves to go eat outside by herself. She is soon caught up in her thoughts and doesn't hear the three pair of footsteps nearing her.
"Earth to Lunarmare. Time to come out of the clouds." Jumping slightly Daminas turns to see three students watching her. "Come on, it's time we head for class." One of the boys tells her. Liking what he had called her Daminas joins them. "You know my name but I don't know Your's?"
"I'm Bobby but just call me Iceman. This is Marie or Rogue and that is Jonny though he likes to be called Pryo. Welcome to Mutant High Lunarmare."
Later that day, after their classes are done Daminas and Marie are playing table soccer and talking about girl stuff when Professor Xavier finds them. "Marie, Daminas. You need to finish some schoolwork before dinner." He informs them before wheeling his chair away. Laughing and joking Daminas and Marie race to their room to finish their schoolwork.
After dinner that night while Daminas is in the T.V. room talking with Jonny, Marie and Bobby. "I can easily guess Iceman and Pryo's powers but what about Your's Rogue." Marie frowns and looks away not wanting to answer.
"Have you ever wondered why she wears gloves or never let's anyone touch her bare skin Lunarmare?" Daminas nods slowly at Jonny's question and Bobby answers. "It's because she can't touch a person without hurting them or even killing them." Suddenly feeling ashamed at having asked such a personal question Daminas gets up and kneels down in front of Marie. "I'm so sorry Rogue. I shouldn't have asked that."
"No it's alright. You would of found out sooner or later Lunarmare." Marie replies smiling at her gently. "Hm yea well I say it's time for bed." Daminas says as she covers a yawn and climbs to her hooves.
Chapter three
Daminas' power
Though she didn't have any power to speak of yet Daminas still felt like she belonged at the school and learned all she could with the eagerness of a child and soon became her teachers favorite, much to the annoyance of some of the other students there and they started calling her 'teacher's pet' behind her back.
"How can you walk and not fall with those hooves?" Jonny asks a month later while the four friends are outside lazing by the pool. Daminas just laughs answering him, "To me it's the same as you with you're feet. It took a while to get used to them but by the time I was a year I was up and running like a normal two year old and I grew just as fast. Any other questions?"
When none of them answer Daminas stands up and goes over to the pool steps, walks in before swimming over to them under water. Slowly with out them knowing she sticks her head out of the water and hitting the water, gets all three of them soaked. Yelling in surprise they jump up as Daminas swims away laughing.
Looking at each other Bobby and Jonny jump in and swim after Daminas, dunking her under water. Squealing Daminas pops back up to the surface and splash the boys again before diving under water and swimming to the other end of the pool, as she unknowingly changes. When she reaches the pool steps Marie, Bobby and Jonny all gasp in shock as she climbs out of the pool and shakes the water out of her coat.
"I think she may have found her power." Bobby remarks casually as he and Jonny climb out of the pool also. Marie runs over to Daminas. Wondering what he is talking about Daminas looks back and is somewhat shocked to see she had changed from her human form to that of a winged unicorn.
"Professor Xavier I need help!" Daminas wails both silently and out loud, which results in her neighing like a common winged unicorn mare. Xavier smiles when he hears Daminas' wailing cry and knows that her power had finally surfaced. Wheeling outside to see if he can help he finds her, as he did not expect. "She is a shape shifter but not one I have ever seen before. Alright Daminas slowly remember in you're mind what you truly look like and not how you want to look, understand."
Daminas nods her head as she draws in her mind what she looks like and slowly her body goes back to the way it was before she shifted. Opening her eyes she smiles. "Thank you Professor. That really helped."
"Yes, now when ever you're in trouble with no way out just shift you're form. In fact so you will get the hang of it I want you to practice shifting whenever possible." With that Xavier leaves them alone, letting Daminas think about her newly surfaced power.
