Summary
Evangeline is the kind of girl anyone would want to be friends with. Except for one problem: she's a mutant. When everything starts to fall apart for her, can Evan help her to remain true to herself? Or will she collapse under the pressure and fall into the abyss?
It was dark and damp. The moon hung low in the sky, obscured by thin, fluffy clouds. It shed light on the dark city, where a lone girl darted in and out of the alley ways, slipping through the shadows like her life depended on it. She was looking for something, or someone. As she ran out into a street light, she noticed a horde of people walking towards her, some holding weapons and some bare handed. Her heart started to race as she noticed some of her own friends were there. They stood around her in a circle, moving closer with each breath. Their eyes had an angry and wild look about them. One growled when he noticed the girl had a long, cat-like tail.
"She's one of those filthy mutants!" One of the men called.
Two children around the girl's age walked to the front of the crowd. The girl held a rusty old crowbar in her hands, and the boy held a metal baseball bat. "Evangeline, you must go. You're not welcome around here."
"But-"
"No buts!" The boy swung the bat at her, missing her by an inch as she jumped back. It only placed her in more danger as the crowd behind her tried to attack her. "You must leave!"
She cried out in pain as a sharp object grazed her are. She grabbed her arm, and looked to see how bad the wound was. It wasn't deep, but it was still bleeding. She kept her hand there so the pressure would stop the blood, while trying to dodge the crowd's wild swings. It took all her self control not to retaliate with each attack. Until one person was brave enough to run at her with a knife. Evangeline gasped and squeezed her eyes shut tightly. The guy never reached her. Daring to open one eye, she saw him floating in the air above her. She gasped in shock. The people all rushed to pull him down, but he seemed to be stuck. A loud snarl was heard from behind. A weirdo in yellow came charging through the crowd, cutting up all the dangerous weapons using his freakishly sharp claws that seemed to grow from his knuckles. Two more weirdo's came to chase the crowd away, one looked like a blue furred elf with a barbed tail, and the other was twirling a large spike that looked like the ones embedded in his skin.
"Hello!" The blue one said cheerfully, hanging upside down from the lamppost by his tail. She cried out and fell backwards.
She sat up on her hands and looked around. The angry mob was gone. They had chased them all off. The giant one in yellow walked over to her and held out his hand. "You alright kid?" he asked her.
She gasped when he moved closer. "No! Stay back!" She stood and ran the opposite way.
"Should we go after her Wolverine?" His spiky comrade asked.
Wolverine sighed. "Might as well Spyke. Xavier doesn't want us to return empty handed."
The three of them ran off in the direction of the distraught girl. They searched in the back alleys, and finally found her huddled in a dark corner. She let out a screech of pain when they neared, and Spyke looked down to see he was standing on her tail. "Oops, sorry."
It disintegrated before his very eyes. "Why did you follow me?"
"We're the X-Men," Spyke said, walking closer. The spikes that covered his body were now gone. "We never ignore anybody in need."
Evangeline tilted her head to the side. "Sorry, never heard of them."
"Name's Logan," he said, pulling off his mask. "Those two are Kurt and Evan," he said, pointing to them in turn.
"Evangeline. Evangeline Rose." She looked between the three of them.
Evan held out his hand, which she took gratefully. He helped her stand and noticed the cut on her arm. "Come one, we'll take you back with us to the Institute. You can get that looked at there."
"Ok," she said. She took his outstretched hand and followed them out of the alley way.
R&R please!
