Snake Bites
[Thorn's journal]
Well my first day in the institute was an eventful one, that Devlin guy challenged me a to a fight and tested my powers. The guy was strong, very strong. I almost lost if it wasn't for the professor. Honestly it was kind of fun, I haven't had a real challenge since that weird old guy kidnapped me.
Actually I was kind of thankful for that seeing as how I was on the street. It was rough for me until I got here, I never had a roof over my head or even a bed to sleep on. Now I have this journal too, a kid named Jamie gave it to me saying everyone in the institute kept one. Usually I wouldn't do something when someone says everyone is doing it, 'I've seen a lot of people go down dark paths with that' but it was just a journal so I agreed to write in it.
I have no idea what to write in it since I haven't had one before but I guess I'll just write about my past and what I am doing now. Well I guess I should start with how I figured out I was a mutant.
I was fifteen at the time, it was my birthday when my old boyfriend decided to take me out to get a tattoo. I was very nervous and I really didn't want to do it but he always made me do things I didn't want to. He took me to the tattoo parlor but I couldn't go through with it, yet out of no where two long tattoos sprouted from my arms in the shape of throned vines.
The thorns on the vines sprouted out of the tattoos and poked out from the skin, seeing this my boyfriend screamed and I ran out of the parlor rushing back home. I went to my parents and they went ballistic and kicked me out of the house calling me a monster.
I walked the streets feeling like an outcast and I guess I was. It took me a week until I had to resort to stealing to survive, it was a horrible feeling and I could barley eat the food I took without vomiting from guilt. I had to live like that alone for so long, until I met my first friends… but I guess that's a story for another time.
