Hey everyone! This had been up for a while, but I have to update my Special Thanks and fix a bunch of errors in the story....I'm not promising that all of the errors will be fixed but most of them will be. Happy Reading!!
The small figure trudged slowly up the cobblestone walkway. She had been walking for days, stopping only at night to sleep. She swiped her auburn bangs from her face, sweeping them back with the rest of her multi-colored hair. Her hunger tore at her stomach, voicing its opinion in it's cruel treatment. She kept her gaze straight ahead, locked on the huge building in front of her. Never before had she seen a building so big, filled with them. She walked up the steps to the large oak doors, her hand already heading for the brass door knocker. She was surprised when the door swung back, revealing a woman with dark skin and white hair.
"Hello there, my name's Ororo, do you want to come in?" The woman, Ororo, said kindly, the girl could do nothing but nod. A man passed behind Ororo then, stopping in his tracks when he saw a shock of red hair at the door.
"Jean!" The man said, already scooping the young girl up.
"Um...Scott?" Ororo said quietly.
"Hey Mr. Summers, ya know that that's like, wrong." A girl said that had come to see the action. Scott seemed to shake off the emotions playing at his mind. He pulled back to look at the girl he was holding. Instead of looking into Jean's deep brown eyes, he was shocked to find himself staring into yellow. The hair wasn't the same either, instead of Jean's shorter, flame red hair, he found himself looking at not only red hair, but blonde, brown, black and gold as well.
"Who are you?" Scott said, somewhat haughtily, trying to keep the tears from his voice.
"My name's Lexi Holmes, this is Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, right?" She asked, still standing outside.
"It is when the teachers ain't standin around with the mouths hangin open like fish." This time it was a gruff looking man that came to the door, sticking out his hand, he continued, "Name's Logan."
"Uh, hi."
"Would someone please tell me why everyone finds the entry hall so fascinating?" A man in a wheel chair came into view, scattering most of the children. "Alexis, I was wondering when you'd show up."
Okay, that's a little better, oh and to avoid some confusion, Lexi's eyes aren't like Mystique's or Nightcrawler's, just her irises are yellow....
