Hello everybody, here is my first attempt on writing a X-Men story. It plays after X-Men 3. I don't know if anything similar was done before, but if so please don't compare it, everything should be seen for itself. I don't wanna say much here, just read and review.

Disclaimer: None of the characters from the X-Men movies belongs to me, only Selene and maybe some other characters I don't know of yet. I'm only writing it for my own and your entertainment and don't make any money with it.

Lost and Found

Prologue

It was a rainy day, but the weather suited the occasion. All people who gathered in the little church were clad in black. They all were here because a loved one had died. The speech of the pastor was poignant yet absolutely fitting. Finally all attendees gave their last credit to the dead, at their lead a young woman. She mourned the death of her mother. During her last days on earth Selene had never left her mother's side, but she wasn't able to help her, the cancer was inoperable. With tears in her eyes she remembered that last evening.

Flashback

Rebecca lay in bed as she had for the last several weeks. The cancer had weakened her to the point where she wasn't able to do anything on her own. But to her comfort her daughter was always there for her, just as she had promised. That evening was her last; she could feel it deep inside her. So before Selene went to bed her mother stated her request.

"My dear, do you still remember your father? When he disappeared you were only six."

Selene looked a little bit confused. "Of course I remember him. He gave me that beautiful ring at my birthday, only a few days before he disappeared."

The memory of that was still painful for them both, even though it had happened 15 years ago. A silent tear rolled down Rebeccas cheek.

"You're right. You see, Selene, my time has come and I don't like the idea of you being completely alone with your unique abilities. I want you to promise me, that when I'm dead you go and search for your father. He is also a mutant, you inherited that from him. Would you do that for me?"

At the thought of her mother finally leaving this world Selene had silently started crying. Partly because she was grateful that her mother didn't have to suffer anymore, but also because this woman was the only family she had left. So this promise was very important for her. "Yes, mom, I promise I will search for him." With that said she embraced the lying woman unable to stop crying. Her mother soothed her in the way she always had, starting to hum a soft tune.

When Selene finally stopped crying she wiped away the tears, smiled at her mother and stood up. Before she left the room she turned in the doorway and said good night, not knowing that it would be an eternal night for her mother.

End flashback

So after the funeral Selene went back home, packing her things up to leave and search for her father, just as she had promised that night.

I know it's short, but it's only the prologue. Hopefully the chapters will be longer but I can't guarantee that. If you find any errors either in writing or in grammar please tell me so I can improve on that. And don't forget to use the button beneath and leave me a review.

See ya, Pharaonin
