SOMEWHERE IN A STRANGE CITY
Earth 295
A slim hooded female figure ran. She was running as fast a she could. She didn't know where she was, or if she was even in the right place. All she remembered were the bright lights before she ended up in this strange place. Behind her men were running. Using their powers against her calling her a traitor to her right a bolt of green light flashed missing her and causing the stone beside her to disintegrate. Too close! She thought. who are these crazy people???
Finally she saw a building that looked like a good hiding place, all dark and dead looking. She quickened her pace and ran into it. Inside she could hardly see, but she managed to feel around and squint enough to find what she needed to place in front of the door to keep her pursuers out. Finally after what seemed like more than five minutes she found a few couches and shelves and placed them behind the door. She backed up, and then turned. Placing her hand on the wall she followed it until she felt like she was far enough from the front doors.
After some time she found a door. She lightly pushed open the door, and cautiously leaned forward. Thankfully there was a window in the room. The moonlight was shining through, allowing her to she that she was in some sort of hospital room. Walking inside she noticed a small sleeping bed, and a few tables on the other side. There was also a sink to her front where the window was. She walked to the sink and window. She began to wash her hands and arms, scrubbing the dirt and what ever else had clung to her body since she'd been running. Looking outside the window she noticed the room faced an alley way. It was dark and a there looked to be tons of trash scattered around, but that's not what caught her eyes the most. Behind that she saw the tall twisted, torn, and destroyed skyscrapers of her once beloved city. The place she'd called home since she was a child.
New York!!! Her mind raced with questions. How had this happened? Just yesterday it was bright and sunny. She'd been at the mall with Rogue and Ororo. The sun was so shiny that day that it shone off the fiber glass windows,causing her to squint eyes because it was so bright. Now it was just a dark and disturbed looking. A shadow of what her home use too look like.
Behind her she heard the distant noise as if something was crashing. Then she heard the voices of her pursuers. Not wanting to be found she decided it was time to start using her powers. Turning to the left side of the wall she ran towards it, and phased through to the other side.
Author note: So we basically get that this female character is Kitty Pryde. I honestly just didn't know what I was trying to write. It was stuck in my head. I had written this a while back and it seemed like this was way better then the previous Prologue. Before that it would have seem too much with the ideas I had. So I changed it. I like this one better. EARTH 295 is the age of Apocalypse.
