A/N. So a lovely thank you to 'Forever-a-spartan', 'Sam0728' 'Dawn Racer' and 'symmasters' for reviewing. Hope this chapter answers all the questions about Blue and Magneto's meeting! So Remember to review for more chapters!
I sighed in delight as I finally found my way outside. The cold air felt refreshing against my flushed skin and the cool grass beneath my feet felt so soft.
I looked towards the sky, the stars were shining bright; all my life I've only been able to see these beautiful gems through a tiny boxed in window, never been able to see them like this. There are so many…
To my right there was a woodland area, trees as high as the stars themselves and the forest looked as if it went on right to the end of the earth. To my left there was a gravelled over area, covered by tar, cutting the grass sharply off in a line.
I walked over there with interest, my feet touching the odd surface. I walked a little further towards a yellow line oddly placed in the centre of the road, how odd? What is the purpose of a line in the middle of this thicker line?
In my right ear I could head a swishing noise and then a screeching sound, it made me wince as my sensitive hearing stung. My ear drums thudded as I turned my head to the source of the sound.
Two identical lights shone into my eyes from the distance, though I could see them clearly. It was some sort of metal monster racing towards me with their yellow eyes ablaze, running at speeds faster than any human could race at, and it wasn't slowing down.
Second by second it got closer and I was able to make out the shape of it; two lower red eyes and wheels spinning as it drove closer and closer. I was still standing in the middle of the road, in nothing but a thin piece of cloth that covered little of my body, but enough, and no shoes on my feet; there wasn't even a penny to my name.
It was driving in the middle of the road, straight towards me. I could stop it, with one hand outstretched I could crush the bonnet without even moving a muscle, but after all the torment that I suffered I would rather just avoid meeting this beast.
I sprang to the edge of the road when it got a bit too close for comfort, I saw a flash of red from the break lights and then my vision blurred.
I was staring into the confusing void that was 'Magneto'. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get anything from him, normally when I'm around someone I have some sort of idea of what they thinking, feeling, but this man was different. I couldn't get anything from him, it was just a blank void, it was as if something was blocking me.
He spoke to me for what seemed hours, his pet at his side, constantly watching me like a hawk. It was a bit unnerving. He stopped mid-sentence and just looked at me, and with a coy smile he stated.
"We'll keep in touch…"
With those words he swiftly turned around, his cape flowing and curling around him like a blanket with a flash of red.
My vision cleared as the car flew past me, flinging muddy water from the puddle at my side all over my body. I rubbed my forehead and wiped the mud from my eyes, scanning the slowly receding vehicle with displeasure.
Picking myself up, I stood up and brushed off any excess mud from my body, I walked back onto the comforting grass and walked to where my heart guided me.
After wondering through the woods for hours on end, I decided that I was lost, but how can I be lost, if I never had a home…
Maybe 'lost' wasn't the right term; let's just say I don't know where I'm going, or where I am. I just knew that I was walking in a straight line, passing tree by tree in the dark night, never stopping, never resting, just walking to where my feet may take me.
The only time that I stopped was to view my first sunrise. I sat down on the patch of grass beneath my feet and looked upwards to the sky; it was a breath-taking sight, just how something so simple, could be so beautiful. The clouds turned a crimson red and the sun peeked its auburn head over the scarlet clouds and then everything got lighter as the sun slowly rises to rest high in the sky. Of course my eyes hurt afterwards, but it was well worth it.
I was so lost in the sight that I flinched when my stomach rumbled, it was an often occurrence, but this time I may be able to help it.
I sniffed in the morning air, immediately detecting a source of nourishment. I smelled food.
Following my nose I found myself upon a rather cozy diner, not many people were in. In fact I couldn't see anyone. Tilting my head to the side in confusion I walked towards the glossy beige door; it was misty from the condensation on the glass pane. I wiped my hand across the glass and peered inside the diner.
Closed.
Was written in red on a big sign inside the building, but not in red marker. No. I could smell it, smell the same iron smell as the one from the Circus.
Blood.
It was written in blood…
I staggered away from the door, slowly taking steps backwards.
"Girls like you shouldn't be walking in these parts alone..."
I turned rapidly to the direction of the voice, my eyes narrowed as I took in his appearance; long dirty blonde hair, a ragged short beard, eyebrows that reached his feet and his black beady eyes were scanning me from head to toe.
"Girls like me are perfectly fine walking alone, its guys like you who shouldn't be disturbing them."
He smirked and bared his sharp pointed teeth, running one of his claws over his beard in thought.
"What do they call you, little missy?" He sneered, circling me as if I was the prey and he was the predator. I assure you, that will never be the case.
"What's it to you."
Suddenly I wasn't so hungry, things were slowly adding up and I didn't like the conclusion.
"I'll tell you mine, if you tell me yours?" He suggested with a suggestive smirk.
Now I felt sick.
"Listen, I need to get back home, my parents are expecting me." I lied smoothly, just wanting to get away.
"Now, now girl, we both know that you don't have any parents." He slowly stepped forwards. "Well, none that love you.." He added with a smirk.
Now my blood was boiling.
"And there's no one to hear you scream, and no one to care if you're dead…" His smirk turned into a full-blown predatory grin. "Don't you worry, I'll make it quick, but you can't count on it being painless."
He lunged before I could move and he was stronger than I once thought. His claws clasped around my thin neck, blocking off my oxygen supply and didn't let go. I never tried asphyxiation before, I wonder if it can kill me. That would be a first.
But, before my world faded to black, a blur of a shape came running out of nowhere and- like a saviour- came to my aid…
A/N. Who is this mysterious person? Who do you think it is? Review or PM me your answer! Reviewing makes me write and the more reviews, the faster I write (and the longer the chapters)!
