A/N: hey Flamer89 here! my second fanfic which will become a mutli-chaptered story hopefully! but just to warn u that updates will probably not be regular! So no killing me if there is a long period of time between chapters! I got this idea while watching X-men 2 so if u wanna ruin some of the story for urself, go watch it and i'll see how many people will know where I got my inspiration from and basically how the story will turn out! Also this is NOT a mary sue! just in case anyone was thinking that! Yes I am British but I actually made the girl British because I thought Prof. Xavier sounded quite british even though i'm not sure he is! I'm giving to much away now so I shall shut up and let you read the story! Please review! even you people without accounts here!

Disclaimer: Non of the characters are mine except for the new girl! and the plot is also mine! sorry if it resembles anyone's wasn't intentional!

White Wolf.

Chapter 1: A new face

Charlie walks up to the large, looming iron gates. Finally arriving at her destination, she felt numb. She thought she would feel joy, relief, or hope. Anything! Just so long as she felt something! But instead was filled with nothing and no idea what to expect. She thought about turning around, leaving them alone and carry on living by herself but the nightmares of all the blood that had been spilled forced her hands to push open the gates.
Some kids were playing basketball as she walked up to the magnificent front door. She noticed they had stopped playing and were watching her and knowing she probably looked worse for wear thought it best to just walk in. Closing the door with a click, she turned round only to knock straight into someone. A woman with snowy white hair and contrasting dark eyes looked her over and asked,
"Sorry. Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Erm...is there a Professor Xavier here?" Charlie said in a British accent.
"I'll just take you to him, he's in his office and it's easy to get lost in here." the woman said with a smile. "I'm Professor Ororo Munroe."
"Charlie. Short for Charlotte but please don't call me that. It's just too...not Me." said Charlie with a small chuckle.
Ororo just smiled and opened the oak door after a quick knock.
"Yes Storm?"
"Visitor for you." she replied and stepped out of the way so the young woman was in view. She lowered her hood revealing long, messy light brown hair and shrugged off her coat without lifting her eyes off the floor. When she did, the professor saw the sadness and relief there in the ivy green eyes flecked with amber.
"Charlotte!"
"Hey Granddad. And please call me Charlie!"
Shock was registered on everyone's face bar Charlie's. Ororo's mouth hung open in a very unladylike manner than she normally kept to.
"You're his granddaughter?"
"Yep, at least I hope so or otherwise I've travelled a long way for nothing!" Charlie said trying to lighten the stifling atmosphere.
"Charlotte. Sorry, Charlie..." corrected the Professor after a stern glare from the young woman in question. "What are you doing here? Does your mother know? When did you get here?"
"Help, sort of and about a week and a half ago." she said smiling lightly.
"Help? Why do you need help?"
"Well secrets can never be kept in a family so why you even bothered to try I don't know. Another thing about family is you tend to inherit things, for example, a mutation gene."
"Please try to make some sense."
"I know that you run this school, that it is a school for mutants and that you are a mutant. Maybe I get it from you? My mutation I mean."
"You're a mutant? Does your mother know?" By this point Charlie was sat at the desk opposite her granddad and Storm had fallen down onto a sofa at the back of the room.
"Well she will do if she read my note. If not, I'm sure you'll tell her."
"Storm, can you please make sure I won't get disturbed?" asked Professor Xavier.
"Of course." she replied and stepped out the room, closing the door behind her.
"Right, start from the beginning and don't leave out any vital information."
"Basically I found out I was a mutant and thought 'Wow how cool is this!' before I realised not many people actually like mutants."
"What is your mutation?"
"I can turn into pretty much any animal I want I think."
"You think?"
"Well I haven't really tried every single animal in the world but my favourite so far is a wolf. Dunno why really... it's always been my favourite animal since watching Balto when I was 8."
"Ok, so how did you end up in America?"
"I saved up! I'm not that big on shopping to be honest so I decided to buy a plane ticket and visit you! Well, that and you know...move out to live here."
"Pardon? And you haven't told your mother?"
"I wrote her a note explaining everything!"
"It would have been better to tell her in person. You should ring her." he said with a meaningful look.
"I will! Later. But can I please have a shower first? My plane landed somewhere in Canada I think and so I have seen shelter for days! Meaning no hot water. Hint hint!"
"Of course, and I'll set up a room for you."
"Thank you Granddad!" she cried rushing round the desk to give him a hug.
He chuckled and patted her back before telling her he would have Storm show her to her new room.
'This is going to be great!' Charlie thought, 'I can't tell him my problems tonight. I want one night without needing to worry about what people will think of me. I'll just ruin it tomorrow when I HAVE to tell him.' and she skipped off behind Ororo to her new room with a power shower thank God!
