Chapter One
The Girl With No Memory
"I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide"
Let me tell you a story about a girl that had powers beyond her control. She was alone, lost and afraid. The young girl had no one in her life, no one to call family, no one to call her friends. This young girl was special, though; she was a mutant. Even though the world thought of her as a 'Demon.' She still ventured her way throughout the world.
This girl, though, had no memories of her past. She had no clue where she came from or where she belonged.
This girl is me.
"When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide"
It was a burning sensation that devoured my body up in those few minutes of my head hitting the pavement beneath my feet. It was like a blur like I was seeing through those 3D glasses you get with the DVD's you buy; red and blue. My wrists black and blue from the ropes that prevented blood from flowing through my arms properly. The blood pounded in my ears like mini explosions going off inside my body. Like my body was going through a war inside. My stomach twisted in pain. My skin coated over with blood and sweat.
The worst part, though, I had no clue how I ended up here.
I was thirteen at the time. Bruised, dripping with blood and limping down a long alleyway on a cold winter day. Not knowing how I ended up this way, I had no memory of the day before or any days before that honestly.
I was lost.
Tears slowly dripped down my cheeks as I held onto the damp wall for support. My arms were burning up, a sensation rushed through my body. I felt like I was on fire. Holding my arms up in front of me, I see steam slowly start to rise from my skin. My heart skips a beat when my veins slowly begin to glow a slight red.
"H-Help" my words get caught between my cracked lips as my arms begin to glow a crimson red. Radiating heat, my body begins to burn. That's when I first felt it, a pain so severe. I dropped to my knees with a gasp. It had felt like the bones in my arms were slowly cracking. This pain swallowed me like I was some sort of prisoner. I had no escape, so I gave into the pain flowing through my body. Letting the darkness surround me. I thought I was done for. "At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl"
"Hello?" For a second, I thought I could hear a voice in the dark night. Ignoring it, I close my eyes falling on the ground. Wrapping up into a ball, I stiffen up, praying for the pain to go away. "Listen to my voice." a boy's voice calmly fills my head. "I know you're in pain, but you must calm down."
I shake my head, trying to ignore the voice. Thinking I had gone crazy. "You are not crazy," The voice states, "Don't let your powers control you…" the voice slowly starts to fade. I let out a deep sigh and then a cry of pain, rolling onto my back. "Your power does not own you." I clench my teeth together, my throat dry. My lungs felt has if they would explode any minute. Gasping for air tears streamed down my face. I cough, wincing in pain for how dry my mouth was. All I wanted in that moment was to die.
"You own your power."
Pulling my hands into fists, I tighten up every muscle in my body. "Good," the pain slowly begins to disappear. The burning sensation slowly leaving my body "Now take a few deep breaths." I do what the voice tells me to do until the pain completely disappears. I wasn't able to move my arms since they have swollen up with third-degree burns.
"Open your eyes."
I slowly let my eyes open to see a boy my age sitting right next to me. A concerned look placed upon his face. "Hey," he weakly smiles. The young boy places a hand on my forehead and proceeds to wipe the sweat off pushing my hair back while at it. "You're safe now." And I felt safe, for the first time that night, I felt safe.
That was my first encounter with Charles Xavier, my lifesaver. That was also my first day learning about my mutation. Radiation, my body was able to generate radiation at an alarming rate. I wasn't able to control it, though, nor was I able to use it.
I ended up with 5 fractures in each of my arms and hands along with third-degree burns from my fingertips to the shoulders. Which scarred up in the past few years, leaving me with deformed skin in its place.
Charles, 13 at the time, took me under his wing and helped me with my powers the best he could.
A few years later, I discovered my second mutation. Fire manipulation which I was able to control with ease. With the help of Charles of course.
After being lost for so long I was finally found.
But my story is far from over.
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
