Summery: Follows the childhood of a girl named Elphaba, born to Mystique after she got a drunken Wolverine to have sex with her. Then goes on into her childhood where she runs away, goes to the mansion, and meets her father (even if she doesn't know he's her dad) and he starts to unknowingly bond with her. That's all I say right now. Just read. I've been itching to type this up since I started writing it on paper.

Chapter 2

Elphaba

I was raised to hate the X-Men. To despise them. I had no trouble hating them. Neither did Mosca. But Mosca does have a much more vicious personality than me. It was always that way. I'm not fluttery or feminine, that would be just not me. I'm just not heartless and cruel like he is. I know I speak very frankly about my brother, but don't get me wrong, I do love him (or at least, I did). But we have very little in common. He shape shifts, I turn invisible and heal myself. He's cruel, I pity. Oh, and while I'm at it, let me tell you, I lied. I was feminine. Just not fluttery. But Mosca and I have very similar tempers. We're fiery and we erupt when we're angry. But I go off on every little thing, while he knows how to control his temper. Oh yeah, and I growl. When I'm in a really bad mood and someone bothers me, I snarl at them. Like a real snarl, not snapping at them, I snarl. It's rather guttural for a small girl, but anyway. Mosca and I some how survived each other. Until that fateful day………(lame, I know) I heard a very interesting conversation between mom and Uncle Eric (Magneto, I called them all uncle. Like Uncle John and Uncle Ferdy). "Eric, we'll have to tell her about her father sooner or later" Mom said. Uncle Eric scowled, "Mystique, if she knew……….. She'd………". "She'd what, Eric" Mom sneered. "Join them. You know she would. If she knew she had a father……. You know she'd want to know everything about him. She is so much like him" he spat out. Mom's sneer increased, "She's too young to join the X-Men, Eric. She's five". My first thought was 'Me? Join the X-Men? What the smooshafooshapoo?'. "Well she'll go to that damned school then" he hissed. "Dammit Eric, I've raised her against that" Mom spat. "Then tell her! Tell her that she can find her father at that damned school with the damned X-Men! See if she stays then!". There was a sharp noise like a clap and I peeked in the room. Uncle Eric was standing there with his mouth hanging open "How dare you-" he spluttered. The sharp noise came again and this time I realized that she had slapped him, "You fing piece of sh". In spite of myself, I gasped, I had never heard mom swear like that. She heard me and looked up and her eyes went wide, "Elphaba". I stared at her, shaking my head. She whispered painfully, "Elphaba, wait I-". I bolted, tears streaming down my face. I had a father. Mom had lied to me. I ran towards the way out. I jumped into the small craft that belonged to us and flew off in it. Yes I had been taught how to drive it. I landed it in a wooded grove on the mainland. I got out and left it, knowing they would find it. I had heard about the school before and I knew it was Westchester, New York. I don't know how I made there. I just did. Well, I almost made it there on my own. Let me tell you how I got help. I walked through the woods. My compass and map telling me I was going the right way (I had stolen them along with my watch and whistle). I looked up and found myself by a road. I looked at the map, then the compass. It was a road that led right into Westchester County. But it was late and I was tired. I walked across the road to where the creek was and sat on the muddy bank (take note of the muddy bank). Then it started to rain. I sighed as the sky dumped on me. It was raining so hard that I didn't hear the motorcycle racing down the road. And I didn't hear it stop. But I did hear the voice yelling, "Hey kid, get off the bank, you'll fall in!". Good advice. To bad I never got a chance to follow it. He scared me so bad that I toppled into the creek. When I hit that ice cold water, everything went black.

A.N.- A tad shorter than the last chapter. I hope this is holding your interest. It gets more interesting as it goes on. Especially the horse thing 
