Tiryn: Luna doesn't come in until the second chapter

Friend #2: And I'm the weird cat friend of Tiryns', so I own Ichigo

Tiryn: She doesn't come until the second chapter also.

A Mutant Menace

I

The Capture

My life was perfect. Key word; was. I was the perfect daughter, school student, and perfect friend. I had the perfect life, perfect parents, and perfect friends (who were actually my pets, but I had other friends too).

That is, until I was labeled as a mutant. People hated me, I lost most of my friends, and my life started crumbling around me. The only things that stayed was my last two friends and my parents. They were the only people and animals that I could trust now. At the moment, my world stopped crumbling.

But I didn't know that my life was still crumbling. I didn't know that they were still looking for me and will do anything to get to me.

My name is Cicillia Mercer, a mutant on the run. I am also a black belt in karate, a master in all weaponry, an A+ student, and a chef and cleaner.

I ran away from home a few days ago to protect my parents and friends [Luna the wolf and Ichigo the cat]. I didn't want them involved or hurt. I wouldn't ever live with myself if they ever were hurt.

A whoosh of air passed by my head before it hit the tree that I was leaning on. When I risked a glance, it looked like a tranquilizer. Looks like they've finally caught up with me. I leap to my feet and started to run.

"Get back here, damn it!" The voice was masculine, and tough, as if he fought a thousand battles. And he has some serious patience issues and is a lousy shot with guns.

"Oh, go cry me a river, build a bridge and get over it, you dumb-ass!" I yelled over my shoulder. "You gotta catch me if you want to put me in that damn tank!"

"I'm gonna kill you, you damn bitch!" He yelled back. Can't he take anything as a joke?

Then the unexpected happens. A person quickly jumps in front of me knocks me out. My only thought was 'I'm in for it now!' before everything was swallowed in darkness.

"School is finally over!" Kitty exclaimed as she got into Scott's red convertible with Jean, Evan, Scott, and Kurt.

"You said it Kitty!" Kurt said as he stretched. "No homework for three months and it's all fun in the same!" They all laughed as they drove home to the mansion that all mutants lived in. But when they got there, it seemed as if there was death in the air.

'Jean, bring everyone into the t.v. room. There is something that I need to show you.' Professor Xavier telepathically said to Jean.

'Yes professor.' Jean sent back. She then turned toward the others and said, "Professor wants us to see all of us in the t.v. room right now." Jean turned and walked in the direction of the t.v. room; a sure sign that says to follow her.

The others glanced at each other, wondering what was going on. Then they just shrugged and followed Jean to said room.

Once in the t.v. room, Kitty asked "Professor," she started. "What's the matter? Did something happen?" Professor Xavier, also known as Professor X, calmly waited for her to finish her rambling.

"It looks like there is another mutant on the run. Her name is Cicillia Mercer, twenty-seven years old, and is running from someone who wants to destroy the mutant race." He explained as the t.v. in front of them showed all the information on said girl that was extremely pale and wore dark clothes.

"So we have to get to her before they do?" Rouge, another of the mutants, wondered out loud as she eyed the girl in the news. 'Why does she seem so familiar?' Rouge wandered as she kept her eyes glued to the misty silver/blue-eyed girl on the screen.

"Professor..." Kurt nervously started.

"Yes, Kurt?" Professor X replied, knowing the question that was about to erupt from Kurt's mouth.

"Why does it say that her past is unknown?" Kurt asked as he crept closer to the t.v. to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"We do not know; she probably doesn't remember her past. All Cerebro does know is that her parents were killed by a mutant." Professor X said worriedly.

"Professor, do you want us to go get her?" Scott asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Yes. I'm afraid that this depends on the balance between mutants and humans alike." He paused for a minute. "I want you, Wolverine, Storm, Rouge, Nightcrawler, Spike, Jean, and Kitty to go to retrieve her. We mustn't fail in this mission." His voice was gentle, yet Professor X's face was as hard as stone.

As everyone shuffled off to either get ready for the mission or do their own thing, Professor Xavier called to Rouge to speak to her privately. He rested his chin onto his clasped hands before questioning Rouge, "I would like to ask you something concerning what I heard in your mind; why do you say that this girl is familiar?"

Since Rouge was used to all the mutants and the professor reading her mind, she calmly responded, "The thing is, it seems that I have seen her before, although I'm sure I haven't." She looked back at him since her head was turned from the professor while speaking. "Does that answer your question?" The professor nodded in approval and let her go without anything further to talk about.

As soon as Rouge left the room, the professor turned the t.v. with a thoughtful yet worried expression painted onto his face. 'I hope they can get to her in time, for she is more powerful than they can imagine...'

I could feel the cold feel the cold surface of a cage underneath my cheek when I came to. I slowly opened my eyes to get a good look at my surroundings. It seems that whoever have gotten me in a steel bar cage next to another cage with another person in it. I wasn't concerned with the person at the moment, for I found a metal collar around my neck and poorly tied rope around my hands behind my back. I snickered.

'They are poor knot tiers. I'd hate to see how they tie their shoes.' I chuckled at that thought. As I started on the sailors knot, I heard a rustle from the other cage. I turned and saw the other person staring at me through the bars. From what I could see, it was a female.

She had very beautiful green eyes specked with yellow set into a slightly pale face. She had two blond bangs in the front of dark brown hair that, from my point of view, has blond tips. She looked to be about seventeen. She was wearing a light jacket that was a neon orange over a light green t-shirt coupled with dark blue jeans and multi-colored converse on her feet and the same weird collar I had on.

The only weird thing is that she looked familiar; creepingly familiar. I raised my eyebrows as she gave me an excruciatingly look, as if she was inspecting me. I really shouldn't say anything, since I was just doing the same thing to her. Oh well; might as well as give her the benefit of the doubt.

"Um... hello? Look, I know that I'm not much, so can you please stop staring at me?" I then felt the knot on my hands loosen. I knew that my face lit up because of the face the other girl gave me. More specifically, she rose one eyebrow and looked slightly amused. "GOT IT!" I yelled out.

"Oh be quiet!" The girl hissed out. "Unless you want to be killed quicker! Now untie me, will you?" She turned around to show me a more complicated knot on her hands.

"Sure, if you tell me your name and be niiiiiicccce..." I said with an evil grin. She just gave me a really, really evil look, but I could tell that she was thinking about it by the way her eyes glimmered.

She sighed then said "My name is Sydney; Sydney Mercer."

My only thought was 'WHAT THE HELL?'


Tiryn: I think that's pretty much really good for the first chapter. Thanks for reading and please r/r! I don't want to continue a story no body wants to read.
