The girl with claws

Chapter One –

Ok – I am so sorry for the late update! I have been very busy recently so haven't had time to write any more, also, I started writing this chapter and my laptop decided to delete it for me. So have had to start all over again!

Anyways, just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has reviewed! It means a lot to me to know that people like my writing and want to read more, so thank you! You have been my inspiration to carry on XD

Anyways, on with chapter one!

So my life continues, being trained by Wade Wilson daily, he's a nice guy, drives me crazy though, the guy just never shut's up! But it's tiring, it's been a long and tiring 3 months now, 3 long months since that damn meeting with Stryker, and the routines the same every day.

I wake from my sleep, groaning, I do not feel like a mission with Wilson today. I slump out of bed, get changed into my usual uniform, which is a black leather suit, with black boots to match, and trudge outside.

2 hours later…

"Tell me, who sent you this?" Stryker questions, his face inches away from some poor African man, who shakes uncontrollably with fear.

"I do not know!" He yells, speaking perfect English. Stryker rolls his eyes, "One last chance, who sent this?" He yells, gesturing to the half crumpled letter in his hand.

"I have told you, I don't know!" the man cries, tears running down his cheeks, and I have a feeling that he already knows his unfortunate fate.

Stryker stands up straight, he walks over and places one hand on my shoulder, "Weapon 12" he mutters, I look at the man, who stares up at me with wide frightened eyes, I step forwards bravely, sigh, and transform into a large Bengal tiger, just another of my mutations.

I growl, baring my sharp teeth, I flick my striped tail from side to side, and flatten my ears back. And then I pounce, my claws digging into the poor village man, who goes limp on the floor as his life fades away.

I snarl, before transforming back to my human form. Stryker smiles, "Good" He mutters, staring at the mauled body.

I close my eyes, hearing the sound of muffled screams, and the swipe of a sword, stopping the scream for good. I feel warmth around me, like the warmth of a fire, a big one. I open my eyes, and my jaw drops as I see fire swarming and engulfing the small village huts around me, I turn, seeing the local people scream with terror and try to escape the hell they are in, some are lucky, and make it out of the village, and into the wilderness. The others are caught in Wade's world of fury, as he swings his sword at the innocent villagers, slicing them to pieces.

A voice pipes up behind me, "Go on, join in" Stryker whispers in my ear. "Don't want anything to happen to little Lizzie do we now?" He whispers. I growl, remembering the baby I had 12 years ago, and that I had been told died hours after birth.

I snarl, and lengthen my claws, deciding not to transform right now. I crouch low, my eyes fixed on a target, a young woman, a baby in her arms, screaming and running in the opposite direction.

I sprint, on all fours, after her, my pace faster than hers and I catch up in no time. I pounce on her back, my claws slashing through her back, rendering her dead instantly. I stand up, and then notice the infant still in her arms. My metal tiger like claws slide out again, and I attack, slashing them through the infant's chest.

I turn, and see Stryker grinning at me, getting satisfaction out of me killing young children and their mothers. I frown back, which only makes him grin even more. I sigh, before moving onto my next target.

5 days later….

I sit in a black SUV, prepared and ready to attack a house in Westchester, New York. Apparently, the place is full of mutants, so it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it!

I sigh as we pull up outside, the other soldiers having already broken through the security and headed inside, I'm the backup. (AN: Just wanna say, this isn't the break in from X men 2, this is set in present day and is a completely new one, let's just say Stryker didn't die in X2 and got away somehow. )

"Stand by!" A soldier beside me yells, I lengthen my metal claws, ready for battle. The mission? To abduct and kidnap as many mutants as possible, and if they don't cooperate, or fight back, then kill them. Hopefully they'll be smart enough to just cooperate and come with us, poor buggers.

"Attack!" The same soldier yells, nearly bursting my poor eardrum. I crouch low, and then run on all fours towards the mansion, I burst in through a window, into what seems to be the kitchen, I pause for a second, noticing a small collection of dead soldiers, 6 holes in each one. My eyes open wide, gawping at the holes in the soldiers, they're similar to the ones I leave, except mine are longer.

I snap out of my gawping state and growl, creeping out into the corridor, again, there's no one there except from a bunch of dead soldiers, and a couple of dead mutants from the mansion, and they're young, very young, only children, who must be only 5 or 6. Left on the floor with a bullet wound in their foreheads.

I frown, and turn around to head back to the tuck, thinking that I couldn't possibly kill another child, the child I killed the other day has traumatised me enough.

But before I can take another step, I hear footsteps behind me, I turn, and spot a man at the end of the corridor, his dark hair sticks up in points, and I can see 6 very sharp looking Adamantium claws sticking out from his hands. "Shit" I mumble, staring at them.

He growls, "Yer with them" He snarls, he propels himself forward, claws first, I crouch low, and let my claws out, I snarl and pounce on him, throwing myself onto his back, raking my claws through his back, deep and long, but he throws me off into a wall.

All I can do is sit and stare as the deep cuts I have just given him close up and heal before my eyes. He snarls, pouncing at me, I roll to the side, dodging his attack. He pounces again but this time I'm too slow, all six of his claws sink into my stomach. I gasp, and pull his hands out of my stomach. I grin as I see his face go from frowning to complete utter shock and surprise as my stab wounds clear up and close just as fast as his did.

"Looks like we have something in common" I purr. He growls again, before lunging at me, I grab his arms and throw him to the side, into a wall, making a large dent in it.

I growl, circling him, "Yer work for Stryker don't you" The man growls, I frown, "Against my will yes" I finally reply.

He looks slightly surprised, "Why are you workin' fer him then?" He grunts, I sigh, "Because he's got my daughter, he's got her and he'll kill her if I don't work for him" I explain, my claws lengthen slightly and I growl.

"Wait" he mutters, he retracts his claws, letting them slide back into his hands. And I slowly retract mine as well. "Don't go with him, stay here, we can help yer" He mutters.

I frown, "I don't need help!" I snarl, "I need my daughter back" I scowl, "And if I have to work for that freak to do so? Then fine" I snap.

"We'll get yer daughter back, just stay here, I promise we'll get her back, ok?" He pleads, a frown still on his face.

I sigh, "What even is this place?" I grunt, a frown on my face. "It's a school" he mutters, "A school" I moan, not wanting to stay at some crappy school. "It's a school fer mutants, but also the X men, a group of mutants, I'm part of it" He mumbles.

"What? So you want me to come and join your little boy band? Uhh, No thanks" I snap, I turn to leave, but he grabs my shoulder and spins me around.

"You're working for a murderer, a killer, and I'm giving you a chance to get away from him, to be safe, to get yer daughter back, please, just stay" he growls.

I sigh, considering his offer. "Fine, I'll stay" I sigh, "I'll stay, for a bit" I moan. The man smiles ever so slightly, "Good" He mutters, he holds out his hand, "I'm Logan" He mumbles. Now this is the awkward bit. "I'm…umm..I'm Weapon 12" I smile. He raises an eyebrow, "You…Don't have a name?" he questions, I look down to the floor, "Well I'm sure I did have one, but I have no memories of my life before Stryker, well, only that I had a baby girl, but that's all" I explain.

He sighs, "I have no memories too" Logan says, I glance up at him, "Really?" I ask, he just nods.

My hearing picks up the sound of trucks starting outside, signalling for me the end of the attack, Logan seems to notice too and quickly leads me away to what must be his room. I take a seat on his bed, and watch as he walks out the door, claws out, ready to protect me from anyone who dares try to get to me.

I sigh, frustrated at being left on my own like he thinks I can't protect myself! I stand up, lengthen my claws, and head out of the room and after Logan.

I find him slicing through a soldier, and there's plenty more behind. They'd obviously sent back a little search and rescue party for me. Looks like it's turning out to be a search and die party instead. Too bad.

I grin, and pounce on the nearest soldier, I claw through his throat, killing him instantly, I turn, and leap on another, raking his stomach to shreds of confetti, and he drops to the floor, eyes still and staring wide.

I smirk, proud of myself and rather enjoying killing people for a change, although that's probably because it's Stryker's men that I'm killing.

Logan and I finish off the last of the poor soldiers who were sent back for me. Logan turns to me, "Yer got some moves girl" he says, impressed by my killing.

I just smile, "So, what now?" I question. He shrugs, "Well I guess we meet up with the others" he mutters

"Others?" I ask, enquiring as to who the others are.

"The X men, and the students" He mumbles.

"Oh" I stutter, "The others" I add, Logan grins, "C'mon, they don't bite" He chuckles, dragging me off.

Sorry, this chapter's a little boring a pretty short, the next one will be longer! And less boring, oh, and I'm sorry if anyone is OOC at all, I'm trying my best here! :P Anyway, please review! Thanks.
