In the woods. Its dark and there is a little fog on the ground from a nearby swamp. It's about 10:58PM at night.
Two people are running through the woods. The heavy footsteps are fast but starting to slow from exoustion.
"I think they went this way!" The two people herd off in the distance. Then light started to show from far off.
The two people running? Rogue and Lance Alvers. Both mutants. Both running because of that 'very' fact.
Being Mutants.
Rogue fell.
"Come on Rogue," Lance said trying to catch his breath as he helped Rogue to her feet. "We have to keep moving."
"I know," Rogue gasped for breath. "But I'm so tired."
Just as Rogue got to her feet, she and Lance could hear the barking of dogs and motors of four-wheelers roar up. And they were getting closer.
They being hunters. Not like hunters of game, but 'mutant' hunters. Chasing Rogue and Lance so they could do there job.
And eliminate the targets. Rogue and Lance. But to the hunters, they had no name. The both of them were only known as, Mutants.
Rogue and Lance continued to run. They ran so fast, but it just didn't seem like it was fast enough, because the sounds of people, motors, and dogs, got louder, and louder.
Rogue was in front of Lance. Because Lance had been hurt previously. By a hunter. He had a head wound that was bleeding and he had a few broken ribs.
Rogue wandered why again the both of them were out there. Running away from the hunters.
'Oh, yea, you ran away from the institute because you thought you didn't fit in.' Rogue yelled to her self. 'If you would have stayed, than you wouldn't be in this mess.'
Soon they both were in a clearing. No, it wasn't a clearing, it was, what looked like a building. A construction sight. There was a huge hole were a building would probly go. And there was all kinds of other things like barrels, tubes, pipes, a couple trucks, a crain, a bulldozer, and more construction equipment.
Rogue and Lance looked behind them. The Hunters were so close that they could see the outlines of their bodies though the lights they had.
"There they are, I see them!" A man yelled.
"Cut them off so they can't go anywhere." A hunter told some of his men. " We have them this time, they can't get away."
" Lets go!" Rogue said grabbing Lance's arm and pulling him with her.
But as Rogue and lance tried to hide, the hunters started to surround them. Eight pulled out to the left of them on four-wheelers and about five from the right and about three from the front.
There weren't many places to go. So rogue and Lance ran strait trying to out run men on four-wheelers.
"Woo-hoo, we gonna have fun tonight!" A hyper man on a F-wheeler yelled. A couple of the other hunters were agreeing and shouting things also. All the men began to pull out guns. Mostly shotguns or assault rifles.
Lance and Rogue stopped, knowing they were cornered and out numbered.
Lance put his hand, that he wasn't holding his ribs with, out and towards the ground. And suddenly, the ground began to shake. Rogue looked at Lance. He was in terrible pain. Using his powers usually gave Lance minor headaches but with Lance's head injury, using his power made the headache 3 times worse.
Rogue was looking at him. His eyes were going to the back of his head and he was concentrating so hard to use his power. But all he was able to do was make the ground shake a little.
When Lance stopped, he held his head and was moaning in pain. Rogue also heard the laughs of the hunters,
"What's a matter, the mutant can't use his power, because it hurts?" Joked a hunter.
Rogue thought of absorbing Lances power and using it herself. But Lance was already 'too' weak, and absorbing his power would make him surly pass out. And then Rogue would be out of luck. She needed Lance.
Rogue looked around.
"Men," said the caption of the Hunters to the four men right near him. "Eliminate the targets." And with that the caption stepped back and let four of his men get in front of hem. The four were all holding assault rifles.
Rogue thought of what to do. And Lance did the same.
"Ready!"
Lance looked around near him.
"Aim!"
Rogue looked around near her.
"Fire!" the caption yelled. And with that Rogue dodged to the left and Lance dogged to the right passing each other's paths. This all happened in slow motion for Lance and Rogue.
They tried to throw them selves to the ground, dodging the bullets.
But they didn't.
One bullet hit Lance in the shoulder and another just barely missed his side. And one bullet missed both Rogue and Lance completely.
It hit Rogue Square in the chest. Going right through her.
Lance cried in agony at his shoulder. And he looked up to see were Rogue was. Only to see here lying on the ground with her blood slowly leaking from her chest and back. . .
Okay so that was a story I had in my head for a while. But it took me a while to think of how I would write it. So here it is. And this is only the first chapter and the Second chapter will be a back story, leading up to why Rogue and Lance are running from Mutant hunters.
