I own nothing-even the character belongs to the suggestor! Still, it was awesome to write!
Prophet
Flashes of color race past the girl, who curls up in a ball on her bed, head aching with the intrusion of foreign images.
Emily.
Her name is Emily, and she is a prophet.
Burning-the girl is burning, surrounded by flames, doubled over as her body tears apart and-
Thunk-thunk-thunk-ta-thunk
Her personal guard, Herman, is knocking, snaping the images away. It's a family visit, and she doesn't want to mess things up. And yet…
She arrives in the main room, where she can be closely watched for signs of some kind of breakdown. She's taken her pills, but tough luck for them, they don't work. No sign of the images stopping permanently. Her family is seated on a white (everything's white here) couch. Daddy fidgets, reluctant, wishing he hadn't come to see his daughter, the insane one. Mom is wearing the formal occasions dress, and her two siblings are flattened against the couch, scooted away from their insane sister. Micah can't even remember a time before she was caged here, and Benjamin barely recognizes the sister who used to play with him before this stuff started happening.
A glance to the clock reveals the time, and she knows the visits are only an hour long or less, and she wants her family to hurry up and leave before-
Spikes jut through her body with the force of a battering ram, a hug of death that she chokes on. The spines pass through the heart and lungs, and her life fades so fast-
Emily jumps, and recognizes her mother in the vision. She turns further towards the stiff woman and shoots to her feet. The guards noticeably stiffen, perhaps preparing themselves for another breakdown.
Emily pushes through the vision veil, needing more information. Once this woman was her mother and ally, and Emily doesn't want her to die. Maybe Mom will forgive her for being insane if her life is saved.
-X-Men-that's what they call themselves-surround the building, and she turns tail to get to the source of the cure. She must rescue him before he can be killed, so they can continue manufacturing the medicine. She looks and looks, and then she sees the group surrounding her and she freezes, before she is suddenly dead-
Emily jerks again. The sedative dart guns are pointed at her, but she has to act, and she pushes forward with a scream, clasping her arms tight around her mother's knees as the first dart strikes. One won't be enough. Emily is building immunity.
"Mom…Mom, don't go!" Emily screams, wondering if volume will make up for seeming insanity. The woman pushes her away with a shove that forces Emily to hold on tighter. "You'll be killed!" Another few darts strike, and Emily can feel the sleep creeping up slowly on her.
"Of course I won't go go, Em." Emily recognizes in the tone the voice of one who is trying to make peace with the other by deceiving her.
"You don't believe me!" Her mother flinches and tries to unwrap the tight grip Emily has on her.
"Of course I believe you, darling." More stings, and fuzziness coats Emily's eyes.
She wakes up the next morning, bright and early (it would be if the sun shone here anymore). She's relaxed on a bed, and it takes her a few moments to track her thoughts and memories to the present moment.
Finally it catches up to her and she snaps out of bed, sprinting to the only window, barred, and tears at it. Her visions are weak, so weak. She knows of nothing that will release her, and she knows, long before the nurse comes, what the news will bring.
"Your mother died yesterday evening. A mutant, Spike, stabbed her to death…"

I am so sorry about not posting this earlier. I had two ways in mind for the events to occur, and neither of them quite worked. I couldn't get the insane thing right, so I figured I'd better get off before I destroyed the story…
Upcoming chapters:
A girl who can control plants (Lynne D. Mariza)
A boy who can understand all animals (Lynne D. Mariza)
Possibly: Something along the lines of a necromancer, which may prove longer than other stories…(My own idea)
Feel like suggesting a name for any of these characters? I'd be happy to not have to make up names for them!
Be prepared for me to ruin your favorite movies, characters, and mutations! Because I love putting a weird look on things that destroys the intent of a film (as proof, try looking at Mind Colors, a Harry Potter fanfic)!
