A New Power Rising

The dark sky was clouded and rain was silently falling onto the empty streets. It was late, nearly midnight and everyone was sleeping peacefully in their warm and comfortable beds, save from any noise or disturbance of their dreams. Just very few people were still outside, either buying food for the hungry cat or hurrying home from a exhausting party night.

One of those people was an almost 24 year old woman who was walking hastily down one of those empty streets. She kept turning around from time to time as if she had a feeling something bad would happen but each time, she found the street as empty as before.

Suddenly a quiet sound was heard that made the woman jump, a nearby street lamp lit up and she looked around in fear, just to watch a skinny cat flit away from under a car.

She assured herself that no one was there and continued walking but soon broke into a run. For everybody else it would look like she was running away from nothing and nobody but the young woman just couldn't shake off the feeling of danger. Her mind told her everything was fine but her heart felt like screaming for help.

And after barely two minutes, her scared heart turned out to be right. Three men, each wearing a dangerous smirk, rounded the corner and slowly approached the woman whose face and body didn't show any sign of fear, just her eyes displayed the emotions she felt right now and behind her back, she was squeezing her sweaty hands a little too tightly as her knuckles were already turning white from the pressure.

When the three men reached her, they looked her up and down like object of lust and she quickly made a step back. The men laughed at her action and stepped close to her. The man in the middle of the three, apparently the head of the group reached out to touch her cheek but let out a shriek when a white force field appeared in front of the woman, protecting her from the persons opposite.

And, to the men's surprise the woman looked as shocked as they were and examined her saviour in interest. She carefully put up a hand and it went right through the shiny white colour.

The men had recovered overtime and were now smirking at her again.

''You're a dirty mutant.'', the middle one snarled and his friends nodded in agreement.

The woman opened her mouth to contradict but closed it quickly, not being able to say anything against it. She didn't know that she was a mutant, she had thought of it since there were a lot of weird things happening around her but she never really knew it.

The men laughed and the one in the middle tried to go through the force field again but was thrown backwards when his hand touched the white colour. His friends looked at her with wide eyes and after being called by their boss on the cold ground behind them, they quickly went to him, pulled him off the ground and together ran off.

The woman waited 'till the men rounded a corner and the force field disappeared into thin air.

She grinned slightly. She had scared them off. She didn't even want to think about what might have happened when that force field hadn't stopped them.

Then her grin faded away, just as the white colour had done it and her blue eyes filled with tears.

She was a mutant. A real mutant with powers. What was she supposed to do? Run away? Hide from her family and her friends?

She finally let herself slip onto the wet stone of the street, hot tears of despair running down her flushed cheeks and silent sobs filling the cold air of the night.
