AN: I really don't know where this story came from. Once I got the idea though it wouldn't leave me alone until I wrote it. Hope you guys like it. It's my first attempt at an X-Men fan fic.
Sarah sighed and lowered her book so she could keep a better eye on her huge Golden Retriever. Austin was sometimes a handful but he always made up for it with his sweet and goofy temperament. Just as Sarah was about to call out to her dog to come back inside a wave of nausea washed over her. Damn! I've been having attacks of nausea and dizziness for a while now but never this bad! Sarah thought fighting down the sudden nausea. As suddenly as it had come the wave of nausea released her.
"Austin! Let's go inside!" Sarah called slapping her thighs for emphasis.
Austin looked over at Sarah who had already started to make her way to the front door and immediately started running full tilt to catch up to her.
"Hey! Slow down!" Sarah called to her dog as he raced by her.
Stumbling slightly as her dog had almost knocked her over, Sarah opened the door to the house she had inherited from her parents. It was a one-story ranch. White vinyl siding covered the entire house with the exception of the windows. The front window was slowly starting to show signs of rot, but other than that the house was in pretty good shape.
Sarah went into the kitchen and grabbed her dog his requisite cookie. She picked up her book from where she had left it on the counter. On her way to the living room she paused and checked for messages on her answering machine. Nope. No messages. No one loves me. She joked to herself. Sarah swallowed a sudden lump in her throat as she remembered that she had no family to leave her messages or tell her how proud of her they were since she had managed to finish high school. Yeah and I was the only damn kid there without a family. My other relatives could've come but no, they had too many other things to do than worry about me. Not that I'm bitter about it or anything. Shaking her head to chase away the dark thoughts Sarah sank onto the couch and began to read. At least this gives me a way to escape from everything. Sighing Sarah prepared to forget about everything for a few hours.
Sarah was half way into her book when she heard the knock on her door. Who the hell could that be? Sarah thought irritated. It better not be one of those damn salesmen I keep having to turn away. Grumbling, Sarah opened the door.
AN: Ooh! Who do you think it'll be? Don't worry the X-Men will start to come in to the story by the next chapter. Things will start being explained in more detail and hopefully will start to make sense.
