Chapter 1: The Lone Wolf
"Claira-sama where are you going?" a five year old girl with orange hair looked up from where she playing with her toys.
The mousy browned haired woman named Claira looked at her "Nowhere special just to visit an old friend and I'll be back with some things for your dinner Snake alright." She said with a smile.
I should have never believed it; she was going to visit my father the one who sent me out on the streets from the age of two!
My eyes flew open I panted heavily another painful flashback to live through but in them her face is always blocked out.
I bring my knees up to my chest and hold them there "She's a traitor you can't trust anyone remember that…" I whisper to myself and think. It's been 2 years since I found out…I close my eyes, and after she left for good it started.
The attacks from a group of thugs who I swore worked my father! They would only attack when I couldn't use my powers well my fire ability and they got past the others too my poisoness snake skin and my snake eye, by wearing sunglasses and gloves.
There was nothing I could do to stop them and I have no one to back me up I'm what they say a loner, or the lone wolf, I never trusted anyone how could I after all I've been through.
Thinking about all this brings a tear to stream down my cheek, damn it Snake you can't cry now you can't! You have to be strong! I scream at myself and shake my head.
Alright here's my whole story:
My mother died when I was born my father thought of me as a nuisance and blamed me for killing her. He put up with his darling daughter for two years then decided to throw her out on the streets and not have to deal with her anymore. Let me tell ya I could hardly walk when I was thrown out sad right no more of Pathetic! Back to the story, Claira came to her aid and raised her in an abandon apartment (like one above a store I still live there)
At the age of 5 I snapped and blew up a gas station the skin also started growing…
At the age of 13 I marked that year of the year of her betrayal to me the skin had covered almost my entire body
Now I trust no one and I walk alone how can after all I've been through.
I huffed and went back to sitting up against the wall under my ratted out covers the smell of mold and old wood covers the air but you get used to it. The sun was streaming in through the broken window I cover my eye with my hand.
Since I'm not wearing my gloves yet you can clearly see my mutation of snake skin cover me from neck to toe literally. There is a little over my right eye two but that's covered by a snake eye I've always had.
I brush over my baggy black t-shirt and grab my oversized black hoodie off the floor I also slip on my gloves. I don't bother with the matted knot I call hair I just tie it up into a pony tail again.
Suddenly I hear a sound that is very familiar and drives me paranoid footsteps when I was younger I would always rush towards the door knowing it was Claira but now…
Knock, knock, I grabbed my knife just in case I got into a battle stance and shuffled my way towards the door.
Opening it cautiously very slowly just enough for me to see who's out there "Hi there we're from the school for mutants we learned you have mutant abli-"the rest was cut off because I slammed the door.
The minute I took two steps from the door it was kicked down "Hey who said you could knock down my DOOR!" I shouted that was the only barrier keeping me from those thugs.
"Sorry but you have to listen what we have to say." Alright this boy with the brown hair and brown eyes was getting on my nerves I shot small little fire balls at them "Get out!" I growled glaring daggers at them.
"Cody she's really scary I think we should go." Another browned haired boy said I uncovered my bang and petrified him where he stood.
I recovered it and stood there ready for a fight, "Now was that really necciasily?" the boy named Cody asked me.
I grinned evilly "Your all idiots coming here." I warned "Please just come with us Snake we promise you'll be fine." It wasn't Cody speaking but another boy gently smiling at me.
I blushed, get yourself together girl! I snapped back to reality and continued glaring "How do you know my name?" I ask letting my arms relax but not my guard.
"Trust me we have ways." He grinned and rubbed the back of his head "Fine I'll come to your little school but don't rely on me to stay there!" I gave in totally not like me.
"How can we you're a street girl and most likely a thief too Dad's gonna love that." A red headed girl put her hands on her hips.
"Leigh was hard enough for him to handle," the smiling boy replied, he turned back to me "Well are you coming." He said.
I hesitated I don't normally trust people right off the bat like most would, I followed them out the door…frame.
When I get back here I'll have to fix that I sighed and left my child hood behind.
"Whoa this place is huge!" exactly a half hour later I'm standing in front of one of the largest houses I've ever seen.
Ok this makes me want to not live here even more! I never liked huge houses and mansions etc. not one bit.
I walked inside and sure enough I'll find myself hating this place too many people, did I mention I hate being around people to much betrayal and lies inside one person's head.
It would remind me too much of what Claira did to me…
"Snake you'll always be a lone wolf won't you?"
"Shut up you betrayed me! I don't care if you feed me clothed me or whatever else!"
"Snake I'm sorry but I had no other choice."
"I said shut up!"
I hold my head the flash back gave me a headache "Hey Snake you alright?" a brunette asked me, "I'm fine." I lie.
"Oh by the way my name's Amy." She said cheerfully I groaned lightly, "Come on I'll introduce you to the team!" she grabbed my arm and pulled me to her team.
I had no other choice she wasn't letting go of my hand anytime soon, I hardly listened to her talking but I did hear all the names of people who dragged me here.
The grownups here forced me to take a shower and get cleaned up, it felt weird but hey I haven't been clean in years. The big matted nest on the back of my head was thinner because of all the hair I cut out, it felt lighter then it had been.
I was given my own room it was different then sleeping on the ground every night, I sat on the bed "I don't belong here." I whispered, opened the window and jumped into the tree without making a sound and disappeared into the night.
Once a Lone Wolf always a Lone Wolf….
