{Bold words are telepathic speech.}
Standing quietly in her moonlit room, Amber just sighed and flopped back
onto the bed. Her hair turned to the shades of blue, which happened to
match her dreary mood. Various thoughts passed quickly through her mind as
a few of her 'occupants' woke up. Grumbling she got up and started to get
dressed carefully too not wake her roommate. Opening the door she prayed it
would not whine, and cringed while it did. Looking over to her roommates'
bed, she froze while the bed occupant turned over, still asleep. Smiling
she grabbed her keys and shoved them into her pocket as she quietly let the
door shut behind her. "Only on opening do you decide to whine," chuckling,
Amber tried the knob to make sure it has locked. Heading down the darkened
dorm hall, she headed to the doors that lead outside. As she takes a few
steps outside, her form seems to melt into the shadows and a small calico
kitten emerges from them.
About three hours later Amber slipped back into the dorm hall and into her
room to change and get ready for working at the College's library. She had
already graduated but decided to stay working with the library until school
was out for the semester. Looking into the mirror she carefully put in the
special type of contacts to hide her ever-changing eyes.
Ravyn dragged herself out of bed and set her head on Amber's shoulder,
"Amber, I think you should leave your real hair out today." Shaking her
head Amber just moved away from the mirror and let Ravyn get ready.
"Ravyn, I told you the only way I was able to attend the school was that I
hid that I'm a mutant. Only you and a couple others even know that I am a
mutant. And only you know what my mutation is." Amber tightly pulled her
hair into a bun and slid the brown hair wig on. Checking her reflection in
the mirror, she smiled at Ravyn. "I have to work all day so I'll see you
tonight."
Ravyn just looked down and then called out before Amber closed the door to
the room. "There's word that the FOH are going to show up today." Looking
up at Amber, she bit her lip, waiting for the reaction. Amber just nodded
and smiled lightly, her face clearly showing that she was nervous. "Well,
that's why I only have this pair of clothes left here on campus. We have
been getting ready ever since the night my Mom called to tell me." Reaching
out to lay a hand on Ravyn's shoulder she smiled reassuringly, "I'll be
fine, you just be careful yourself." Ravyn nodded and looked down to her
lap, silent tears falling as the door clicked closed.
True to the rumors, at one o'clock that afternoon the FOH showed up with a
rally to get rid of the 'muties.' Little did they know that Amber was the
only one who looked like anything different from normal. Moreover, she had
a special way of hiding; all she had to do was find a place to change to
another form. Lady luck was not with her, but she was travelling along with
a small group who was passing by the college. Lady luck finally decided to
smile on Amber when the group stopped to see what was going on.
Anne, Logan, and Jubilee slowly climbed out of the jeep when they saw who
was speaking at the college. Students were passing them quickly as they
headed to see what was going on. Slowly the three mixed in with the crowed
of students heading towards the stage. Logan just looked about; he did not
like the idea of mixing in with this big crowed. He managed to get him and
Anne separated from the crowd but still watched Jubilee like a hawk.
Jubilee snapped her gum as the FOH representative started to talk about
cleansing the area of filthy mutants. She looked about, smiled, she
actually mixed in with the group of college kids, things were looking up.
As the FOH spokesman said Amber's name and few others, Jubilee just snapped
her gum and looked around wondering who these mutants were. No one moved
and a few college students seemed to gather tighter in one spot, Jubilee
headed over there and managed to squeeze into the circle.
Amber just stood there and tried to change but some reason she could not.
Her hair was wildly changing into bright colors the wig half off. Biting
her lower lip she looked around and smiled as her friends were refusing to
hand over the alleged muties. Turning she started to change into a small
squirrel but as she looked her eyes fell upon Jubilee. Growing white from
fear she just looked down at the shorter girl, "Please don't let them find
me. Please."
Jubilee just nodded, and opened her mouth to say something, but a rough
hand clamped down on her shoulder. Logan's gruff voice seemed to stand out
over the mixture of student's voices as they started to protest about the
FOH. "Come on Darlin' Anne thinks we should be leaving here and findin' the
girl Chuck wants to see." Jubilee just looked at him and then looked back
to where Amber was but she had already disappeared somewhere.
As Jubilee and Logan headed back towards the jeep, Anne's voiced came
strongly in their minds. "The first student they mentioned, she's the one
who we are looking for." Logan bit down harder on his ever-present cigar
and swore under his breath. Jubilee just looked around, "I wonder if that
mutant I saw a few minuets ago." Looking down at Jubilee, Logan was
confused. When he had walked over there wasn't another girl by Jubilee only
some squirrel who had been caught in the fray.
Amber started to run harder to catch up to the trio, her voice weak but
present in the group of minds, "I know I shouldn't eavesdrop, but if the
one your looking for is Amber, I'm right here." The squirrel almost ran up
one of Anne's legs as she had stopped suddenly.
"Where are you?" Anne's voice seemed almost urgent as the two groups were
getting hostile to one another. She moved to kick her foot towards the
squirrel to chase it away but stopped in mid swing as the trees showed her
what they saw. One second a young woman with wild hair was standing in a
spot and in the next, second there was the squirrel. Looking down at the
squirrel, the look on her face would have been comical if either had a
chance to think about that. "You?"
Logan pulled Jubilee back as the squirrel seemed to meld back into Amber's
form. Nodding Amber just looked at Anne and the trees seemed to sing as the
two found that they both could converse with the trees and the earth. A
look of pain passed through Amber's face as more of her occupants were
getting nervous. They wanted to be safe, not in a situation where they
could become hurt. As she reached out with her mind to calm the multiple
animal minds down, she sighed almost gracefully as Anne reached out to help
her.
As a part of the FOH saw Amber standing with the group they yelled out,
they had found one of the muties they were looking for. With guns, bats,
and other blunt objects were coming towards them Logan got into his jeep
and started the motor. Jubilee was trying to pull Anne and Amber with her,
but the two's minds were momentarily off guard to the physical sense. To
give them some extra time Jubilee fired her weakest paffs at the group. She
wasn't prepared when Anne started to fall back.
Breaking the connection between their minds, Amber's body melted into that
of a hawk' and was flying towards the group trying to lead them away from
Jubilee and Anne. One of the farmers who brought a shotgun with him wasn't
going to be fooled that easily. He brought the gun up, took aim at the
hawk, and with pulling the trigger a shot roared out, but not to head for
where it used to be aimed.
Logan had turned at the right moment to see the shotgun and leapt from his
jeep, claws bared. As he managed to hit the shotgun off sight of its
target, and managed to spare Amber's life for a bit longer. With the shell
being broken the pellets flew at Amber and hit her right wing, and the rest
just seemed to go blank from her mind. Anne caught herself before she fell
on Jubilee and ran over to catch the falling bird. Her stomach was
churning at the sight of the half-gone wing.
Jubilee fired off some stronger paffs and the three moved towards the jeep
to get away from the now very angry mob of people. The jeep just roared as
Logan drove it almost wildly towards the nearest hospital. Lady luck seemed
to smile once more and sent them in a few circles to throw the following
FOH member off the trail.
Anne started to wrap a spare blanket around the bird but slowly stopped
when the bird was forming back into human. Amber's arm seemed to be almost
gone and the amount of blood seemed to threefold. Anne just clenched her
teeth together and started again on wrapping Amber up into the blanket.
Logan started to swear as he pulled into the hospital parking lot; both
entrances into the emergency rooms were blocked by smaller cars.
Convincing the doctors to admit Amber was an even harder task. The doctors
didn't want to admit a mutant that might bring trouble to the hospital.
Their minds were quickly changed as Logan's claws were pointed at his face.
"Well Bub, that's where you don't have a choice. You have the choice from
admitting her nice and easy or I can make you admit her." Jubilee just
snapped her gum; the professor was not going to like this.
