Sanctified Sins

Chapters One:
Meeting with the Unknown

Walking along the river bank Taylor Crawford, or better know as the White Wolf, carried a bag over her shoulder. She was traveling, homeless once more. She could have stayed in Gotham City, but there was nothing left for her there anymore. No business, no answers, no help, no love… It was hell on earth. She felt like a caged animal, and a freak. She had to move on; it wasn't her style to stay in once place for too long…

Her appearance consisted of her human apparition. She had created it to fit the qualifications for a "regular" human, whatever that was anyway. Curly, medium sized length, brown hair. Sharp, intense, green eyes. Fair light skin. Common, yet very beautiful. Her attire was nothing more than a simple pair of skinny jeans, and a nice green blouse. Perfect expect one thing. She had forgotten to hide her scent. She remembered a little too late.

"Well…Well…Well...My dear little cousin is all grown up. What are you now? Forty-two?" A deep, sinister voice proclaimed behind her. Not too long after a thump was heard. She dropped her bag on the ground, her eyes widened in shock. Memories tried to resurface; however she fought them back. Her green eyes stared in shock forward, frozen still in horror.

"What's wrong? Are you still mad for what happened over twenty years ago?" The man went on to further say, hinting some sort of painful past. His appearance was something awful. Grey eyes, with a scar that went across his face. He had a large chin, was husky, and had disgusting large tusks poking from under his lips. For the oddest reason, he bore some resemblance to that of an elephant. Only his short shaggy hair was white. The only indicator of his difference.

"How…Why…What…"The wolf's soft firm voice stuttered bits of questions she wanted to ask. She turned around quickly, her green hues focused sharply onto the male in front of her. Balling up her fists, she growled some under her breath. "Malkior…Sent you didn't he…He wants to reunite the clan, right? Right Tor?!" She shouted as she began to grind her teeth together. The man made no attempt to speak, a simple tilting back of the head and a smirk was enough. But the answer gave her no comfort, if not fear. She took a deep breath as the wolf's hands began to tremble some.

"And now we are referred to as the clan? After we raised you! Trained you! Feed you! How dare you Gilda!" Tor snapped at her, more to affect her mentality then to make any point. She was easy to harm mentality, emotionally, and physically.

"My name is Gilda! I am Taylor Crawford! It was always that! Tell your little master that I am not ever-"

"Why don't you tell your master yourself, my dear sweet wolfie…"A darker, bolder voice interrupted her sentence; it came from behind her. The male placed a hand on her shoulder, and with the other caressed the side of her cheek softly. He had sharp black eyes, and long white hair. He towered over her, enough so that her head would fall under his chin. Wearing a formal white kimono top, with white pants, he bared an uncanny similarity to a saint. A darker, evil saint.

The wolf froze. Her eyes widened large as her heart sank. "If you don't need to tell me anything, at least tell me why you look like a pathetic, worthless, human like your parents? Hm? I love your real form..." He said softly as he rubbed her cheek. Slowly her face changed briefly. Her brown hair went white. Her green eyes light blue. Her pink lips, crystal blue. Even her attire went from human, to a black jumpsuit. As well as white ears, and tail emerged randomly. The tips of a pair of large, wolf-like, canines peeked from under her lips. But as soon as the man removed his hand, the change of appearances dissolved away.

Leaning in close to her, his cheek touching hers, he began to whisper, "You know I miss you…Seeing you like this…Like the humans breaks my heart, wolfie." He began to talk with a lisp of the 'ssss'. A forked tongue brushed the side of her lips, which caused Taylor's eyes to water some. She yanked away and wiped her cheeks, accidentally bumping into a near by tree. "Malkior d-d-don't you dare g-g-get near me again! Or I swear I'll…I'll..." She didn't know how to threaten him to stop. The man had no fears. Especially not of her.

Malkior began to chuckle, sinisterly. A bone chilling grin slithered across his evil face. "Or you'll what? Bite me? Scratch me? Please go right ahead…I will surely enjoy it." He stared at her, intensely. Taylor gasped some; she knew what was going to happen next. She turned to run, but a claw clamped onto her leg, and a large bird like creature swept down and knocked her on the ground. Taylor fell on her back, hitting her head on the ground. She blacked out for a few seconds, enough for the rest of the white animal clan members to emerge. A white tigress, a white bat, a white scorpion, and Tor turned into an elephant by then. All of the animals were crosses between humans and animals. Having animal like features, but figures like humans. All of them began to chuckle as they held Taylor down. As she awoke from her mini-concussion, she was unable to move. Standing over her was Malkior, grinning devilishly. She began to struggle, yelping some. The bat and the scorpion smirked as they stood next to their master.

"Vergallen…Blind her…Cethin drown her disgusting squeaks, will you?" He said swiftly as they nodded. Taylor's eyes widen as she let out a loud yell. The bat counteracted her yell with a loud sonic one. Her sensitive ears caused her much pain, so much that she screamed in pain. The scorpion sprayed a green liquid from it's stinger onto her eyes. The liquid burned Taylor's eyes, causing her sight to turn to pitch black. The torture began.

Meanwhile…

A loud groan echoed the thick walls of the metal chamber, lights turned on, and large oval door unlatched. Storm, Jean, and Scott rushed into Cerebro, to aid Professor Xavier, who was obviously in some sort of pain. "Professor!" Cried the three in unison. Strom went over to the professor's side while Jean and Scott quickly took the helmet off of him. "What's wrong professor?! What's going on?" Asked Scott in pure worry. Storm and Jean exchanged fearful glances.

"Pain…So much pain…"The professor began as he rubbed his temples. "A girl is in trouble…She is going through horrible things and torture…" His tone began to go from painful, to sorrowful.

"Then let's go help her! Where is she!" Sprang up Scott, ready to fight and save the girl.

Jean and Storm began to gather themselves up too, before the professor's lack of information stopped them.

"However this girl isn't human.."Charles started to say.

"Of course! She's a mutant. That's why she showed up on Cerebro." Scott interrupted hastily, waiting to go into battle.

"No she isn't mutant either…She's…Well I don't know what she is. And what worries me is…she feels like an Omega-level mutant." Charles added to his earlier comment, confusion filled his facial expression.

Immediately, Storm and Scott looked over to Jean, then to the professor.

"An omega…level…"Jean repeated in shock. Studying the professor's expression, she placed her hand over his shoulder. "How is that possible…Omega-level…But not mutant?" She began to run the possibilities through her head, finding no solution to fit.

Charles placed his hands on his temples as he closed his eyes; beginning to send out telepathic waves towards the girl. "No! Stop! Get away! Don't!" Charles repeated in sync with the girl in pain, his tone calm, but having the same impact as hers. Breaking out of his 'trance', he looked at his students. "There is no time to figure it out. We must assist her before it's too late! Get Beast, Rouge, and Gambit…Hurry team. Bring her here." Charles instructed them as he stared firmly at them. They nodded and ran out of the circler chamber; Charles sat there watching them leave.

** * *

"Get off me! Get off!" Yelled Taylor tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes looking around, but seeing nothing. Her clothes torn from wounds inflicted upon her. Malkior was on top of her, his chest exposed as he ran his fingers up and down her chest towards her breast. Taylor cried as she began to remember bits of her past. Malkior leaned down to press a kiss upon her lips. In a last, fatal, attempt to save her self, Taylor bit his lip. She dug her teeth into his lip and pulled it back, trying to rip if off. Malkior scream as he was bit. The tigress that was holding her head, slammed her head down on the ground, causing her to let go of his lips. Being released, Malkior jumped off and held his lip. Hissing, Malkior glared at Taylor. "How dare you, you little wench! Tor! Show her some manors!" He ordered as he sucked his own dripping blood.

"My pleasure…" Replied Tor as he chuckled. With his authorization, everyone propped up Taylor. Screaming, crying, and struggling Taylor got to her feet. Behind her, the elephant charged towards her, tusks out and sharpened. As he approached her, a card flew towards him. Upon hitting the ground it exploded and caused panic. Everyone scattered, expect Malkior and the tigress, who was holding Taylor by the throat.

"Gambit says dat ain't no way to treat dat cher der. She ain't done nu'tin to y'all." Stated Gambit, triumphantly.

"You got five seconds to let go of that girl there before I pound you to minced meat you over grown pile of-" Rouge added to Gambit's comment before she was cut off by a loud growl.

"Who are you?! Why they hell do you want to save here?! Do you even know who she is?! Or what she did?!" Shouted Tor at the group of mutant, his anger making him look quite stupid.

Due to the confusion, Taylor successfully managed to get some strength back. She pulled her arm front ward, and drove her elbow into the tigress. She gasped and let go of her, the wind knocked out of her. However do to her blindness, Taylor didn't get too far before Vergallen caught her. She yelled as she began to twist and turn. The tip of his stinger in almost piercing her skin, stopped her dead in her tracks.

Jean read Taylor's mind and immediately felt so much pain, it was overwhelming. "We've got to get them away from her! Quick!" She told her team as she drew back the upcoming tears. Scott glanced over to Jean and then over the animal people. Lifting his glasses, he began to hit the tigress.

"I call dibs on the big dumb-dumb over there!"Rouge exclaimed as she leaped toward him.

"Damn it cher! Who is Gambit gonna hafta fight now?!"Gambit whined as the bird like creature dove for him. He jumped out of the way and tossed some cards at him, hitting his tail.

Storm looked over at the bat who was ready for lift off. Her eyes went all white and she lifted up to the sky. With no real notion or alarm, she turned into a hurricane and swept the bat into it.

Beast stared at scorpion with curiosity. "Interesting…You all have traits of animals…Even behave and look like them…Is this what you really look like? Or do you actually take the form of real animals?" Asked Hank with a slightly tilt of his blue head.

"Shut it!"Snapped the Vergallen as he dove for him. Hank quickly dodged it, and held him by the tail, inspecting it. "Hm….?"

Jean was faced to fight Malkior, who was now in possession of Taylor. She glared deeply at him as she tried to read his mind. "Disgraceful! How dare you even try to do that to her?!" She yelled at him, reading his attempt to raping Taylor. Malkior smirked as he tossed Taylor forward. "Enough…We're done here…We accomplished our mission. Let's go!" Ordered the master to his servants. The animal people quickly jumped to their master's side in a defense stance. "Till next time…My love…"He chuckled darkly as he looked over at Taylor. Taylor looked around, unable to see anything, but heard it all. Tears fell down as she hugged herself. Seeing her reaction, the tigress tossed a bead on the ground and curtain of smoke hid them.

"Oh no you don't!"Exclaimed Rouge as she dove for them, only to hit a tree, and nothing more. The X-Men stood puzzled at the strange encounter and then turned their attention to Taylor who was running away. "Aye Cher! Where do ya think ya goin',Gambit dun understand why yer leavin' us?" Gambit exclaimed after her as Strom landed in front of her.

"Honey…We are here to help. Please come with us." Storm said softly and calmly as she reached out for her. Taylor jolted back after hearing her; she began to run the opposite direction, tripping each step. Jean looked at her with sympathy as she almost fell as she ran. Poor girl had been through a lot…
