This is my second piece but my first ongoing story. Please bear with me. Thank you! Hope you enjoy and have a good day!
It all happened so slowly but yet so suddenly. All she could feel was unbearable pain as they transformed her into a mutant. Ophelia Nightengale was twelve when the tests started. A child her age shouldn't have to feel that kind of pain, but Ophelia was.
The first test was to was to see how long she could hold the pain of the world. She held it by giving it to herself. Meaning she was the only one feeling the pain everyone else was supposed to be feeling. She held it for two days. Her body broke but her mind grew stronger. The second test was to see how many young children she could watch die painfully and slowly until she broke into insanity. None died. She killed the operators. The third test, the one that broke even the strongest men, was to be trapped alone in a room for two years. No human contact. No contact to the outside world except for a TV that showed only people dying and suffering. She destroyed it the second day and used its glass to etch master pieces into the wall.
When they finally brought her out of the solitary room, she was stronger than ever. She'd passed all the tests. Ophelia was to be turned into and angel. At least, an angel from earth. They succeeded. Her wings were the night sky; black but filled with stars and galaxies. Her eye shined like twin super novas. She could manipulate what they call 'dark matter'. Ophelia could make anything she desired with it; from objects to food to living, breathing, creatures of any kind, even those she invented in her own, young, mind. Her hair was curly and black with a few twinkling stars in it and her skin was slightly tan. She was beautiful like any angel should be.
She hated the lab were they tested her and wrote notes about her. She missed the world outside with her old friends and family. Of course, after what the 'scientists' did, her loved ones would see her as a monster. She left one night. Just walked out the door. She did so easily because as they'd tested her they found out that she had unimaginable power and if you pushed her the wrong way she could turn the whole galaxies and those surrounding into dust. Obviously they never told her she had such power.
Ophelia walked out into the bright sun light, it stung her eyes since she was mostly made up of darkness. She made her way around town, inspecting the differences that two years causes. People were afraid at first because they thought she was a dark angel but they soon saw the twinkling night sky on her huge wings and in an instant began to follow her. She didn't seem to notice.
Ophelia was strangely distant from the world. Her mind was wondering about where she could find the other mutants. She was wandering around so maybe they'd find her. She was not naive and knew they'd attempt to use her and make her a weapon. So she was only going to go with someone who would help her learn about her powers and capabilities and even teach her how to live like a human. She would not allow herself to be rotted by greed and evil.
