I do NOT own X-Men but I own Amy.
This story does not take place in between or during any of the movies, it is from my own inspiration only.
First chapter
The night was perfect for whomever wanted some action in the neighborhood. The cops were everywhere, running, driving their car or their motorcycles. Scientists from all over in the country were helping them to catch their subject back.
The moon was shining bright and high in the sky, enlightening Amy's path as she ran through the alley. Tired, out of breath and sore, she was running as fast as she could to escape hell.

The weather was great that night. It was warm but comfortable for a summer night. The students, now on their summer break, were enjoying the evening outside, talking and laughing and gossiping. The teachers were inside in the staff room, also enjoying their time. Only Logan was away from the room, watching t.v. Instead.
Suddenly Logan gave a shout.
'Hey guys! Come here now! '
In no time, Jean, Scott, Storm and professor Xavier were in the living room.
'What's so wrong?' said Storm who was the first one to step in the room.
'Look. The news for tonight are interesting.'
On the news, they showed from a helicopter's view police cars, about six or seven, following something….or someone.
'Who is that?' said Scott.
'They said earlier that that girl is a mutant. They are trying to catch her and try many experiences to find a cure.'
'A cure to what?'
'Mutation…..'
There was a short silence.
'Let's go now.' said Professor Xavier.

She was totally out of breath but she couldn't manage to stop.Shewould not let them have her again.She heard the cars behind her getting closer. When she looked, she saw that they had caught up on her again.
Oh no!They are coming! Maybe I could hide behind a restaurant? NO!! There are media cameras everywhere!! There is nowhere to hide!
The poor 15 year-old girl was exhausted. She had been running bare feet for what seemed hours! Her feet really did hurt, but she had to ignore the pain. And she was so cold. But she kept running in the middle of the street, looking for a place to hide…
Suddenly, at the turn of a street, police cars came from both ways.
'AARRGGHHHHH!'
I will not give up!
She was blinded by the lights. She turned her head around. She saw a fence between two buildings. She started running as fast as she could, dodging the gun shots meant to hit her.
As soon as she got close enough to the fence, she used all the strength she had left and she jumped over it. Suddenly, it was like everything she did was slow motion.
Where will I lend? What is on the other side of this fence? Have I got into more trouble?
She felt something hard and cold hit her whole backside. She had fallen on the ground which was wet and dirty with cigarettes smokes and needles. Though she had lost all of her energy, she managed to get up and walk away because she knew they were just on the other side…
I must not stop…
She felt like she was fading away..
No!! I must leave… I can't stay here…
She tried as hard as possible to go over the pain she felt because of the running and jumping, and she continued walking. She couldn't run anymore. Her legs felt numb. She took a look around. Everything seemed old. It looked abandoned and it was so dark and scary. People could hide anywhere. She concluded from the cigarettes and needles that it was a place were gangsters and pushers would hang out a lot.
I should hurry before they come take their usual shots of drugs. If they come I'm dead right away.
'Don't go there! Come back we will not hurt you! Every person that went there never came back!!'
The cops and scientists from the other side of the fence seemed truly concerned but she did not bother a bit.
She kept on walking. She did hear the police officers behind her but she would not allow herself to believe them. She could not allow herself to believe in those lies. Or maybe they weren't?
What if it IS true? I will never come back…I will disappear…forever…Maybe that's what I should do…disappear. What else do I have? No friends, no family, no home…nothing. I don't even have a life anymore. I keep on running away from all the trouble I put myself in. That's it. That's the solution. Bring it on I'm not afraid to bleed and I'm not afraid to die…
She kept walking thinking that she was never meant to live. She was surprised to see how desperate she was now.
A crackling noise broke her thoughts.
What was that? Some drug addics?
She heard it again but this time it was closer…
She looked around which made her feel even more dizzy. When she looked behind her, the fence was far and the police officers were gone. She kept looking for the source of the weird noises.
She heard it again but she couldn't figure out where it was. Her senses were totally out. If she wouldn't be so determined, she could just fall unconscious.
'Who's there?! If you are drug attics, police officers, or scientists, don't you dare to approach me!!'
No answers.
What is going on? Am I imagining things again?!
"No you are not imagining or hallucinating anything," said a voice. A man's voice obviously.
Where did that come from?
'WHO'S THERE?? Show yourself right now!!'
She was surprised that she had yelled that off so loud and we could clearly hear the panic in her voice. She was so weak.
How will I fight if I have to?
'Don't worry you won't have to fight anybody' said the same voice.
Suddenly she saw many shadows appearing in front of her, getting out of their hiding place. Her vision was so blurry from tiredness she couldn't see them very clearly but she guessed from what she could see that they were about four or five, all adults and they looked strong.
She looked at them and she burst into tears. She almost fell on the ground.
Enough of this already! Why do I always have to be followed? What do I have that they want??
'What d'you want from me!? What do I have so particular!? Will you ever leave me alone? '
As they approached, she heard the man talk again, though it seemed to fade away...
"Don't worry we only want to help you. My name is Charles Xavier and ..."
She stopped listening because she did not give a damn who they were and what they were, she was lonely and now that she was trapped, she only wanted to die.
Is there a way out of this hell? I don't think so….
There is no way out of this. I must accept this right now…
'...We will explain later when you are safe with us where we want to take you.' finished the man.
His voice was so soft and he seemed to be really nice. But she erased these thoughts away rapidely.
Lies...Lies!! LIES!!
She started crying even harder.
'That's what they all say…! If you really want to help me…Just leave me alone!!
She was just out of her mind. She couldn't let them win this. She had to fight.
'Calm down. We just want to take to a special place where all mutant go. My school. You must
have heard about it?'
The professor was being nice to her and he was trying to calm her down before she lost total control of herself. He did not know what were her powers and he truly feared it...
Amy didn't want to hear that.
There is no point...
'NO!! That's what they all say! And when I believe them I find myself in even more trouble than I was! I almost get killed..!
'We are here to help and we will not do such a thing--'
'If you really want to help go away before it's too late!!'
'Professor what the hell is she talking about?!' Logan's voice sounded totally confused.
'Shhh…Logan, stay quiet.' Xavier said. His voice was peaceful and very patient.
I will never trust them! Why would I? I know they will hurt me even more anyways…
'Go AWAY NOW!! Before I…--
She felt like everything was spinning around. She felt herself fading away and the cold was ravaging her whole body. She couldn't stop her thoughts to come and go…
'Logan catch her!'
'…I…'
--
Just as the girl started to fall, Logan hurried and caught her.
'What the...? What happened? Did you do that Professor?'
'I didn't have a choice… I don't know what she is capable of and I was too afraid to let her use her powers here and especially in that state. Let's take her to the lab."
He felt so sad for the poor teenager. He couldn't wait to know more about her…
