Gally ran for what seemed like hours. She knew they would come after her. All of them did. They would try to trap her and take her to some science center. All the others had. She kept running looking for where she wanted to go. On her way into town Gally had seen the perfect place for what she wanted. A small foot bridge over a very rocky gorge. She knew it would be chickens way out, but it would keep her from hurting any more innocent people. There was the bridge looming before her, as if to say, "Jump jump." Galla knew what she had to do and she was determined to do it for the sake of everyone who ever met her.
She stepped up on the rope railing and grabbed on of the support ropes. (God I'm scared. Please give some reason not to do this.) Galanna knew there would be no answer. There was no reason for a beast like her to still be living. She looked down at the rocky gorge beneath her. It was a sure thing the drop would kill her, but the falling part was what worried her. She hated falling. (Well I guess it's a good way to go. I won't die without facing my fear.) Gally picked one foot up and was about to step off the edge when someone came up behind her.
"Hey you! What are ya doin'?" Galla caught herself in time to turn around and see a very slimy boy who looked entirely like a toad, standing at the end of a bridge.
"Yeah?Whatareyoudoing?" It took her a little bit to process what had been said before she looked at who the speaker was. On the other end of the bridge was a boy with white hair, wearing very tight spandex. (Great!) She thought. (I'm surround by a slime ball and a spandex dude. I could just take hawk shape and fly, but then I'd lose my backpack.) She shook her head. That wasn't an option. She had to do what she had come here to do. She put her foot out again.
"Hey you're the new X-freak aren't you?"
"Yea! Aren't ya?" Galla turned her head from one end of the bridge to the other. One side she saw a brown haired dude with a bowl on top of his head come to stand beside the slime ball. On the other there was a very large blob in overalls coming to stand behind the spandex.
"I'm not anything. I'm just beast. But watch it that's my sister you're insulting." Another figure began walking towards her. It looked to be a she but it had blue skin and orange hair.
"Oh you mean that wench Storm is you're sister?"
"Don't call her that." Galla's tone was so chilling that the woman stopped for a moment but then got an evil grin and continued on.
"What are you going to do about it? Its five verse one missy you're best bet is to not be stupid bitch like your sister and join the Brotherhood. I can shape shift too. We could teach each other so much compared to what you'll learn with that idiot Xavier." Galla glared at her.
"Ya know I would take that offer because it sounds sooooooo convincing," She started in a sarcastic tone. "But you just insulted my sister. Oh and you forgot one thing, Mystique. I can read your twisted little mind and I really have no desire to be like these four and get used by a powerless, angry, bitch." Mystique turned into a large cat and snarled at the young girl. She ran towards her and launched up into the air trying to knock Galla off the rope railings of the bridge. Mystique almost succeeded but Gally, gathering her wits, managed to move to the side just in time. She dodged and kicked Mystique in the head as the large cat flew off the bridge. The blue mutant had enough sense to change into a bird and float down to the rocks before she passed out cold.
(Well great now I'll have to find a better place to die considering she soiled my perfect deathbed.) But at the moment it didn't look like Gally was going to have to find another place. Four very angry mutants now cornered her. She felt a punch in her side but she couldn't see anything. Something kept speeding by her. She traced what it was with her mind. Concentrating hard Galanna tried something she hoped she could do. She had heard about people being able to enter other people's minds and control their actions. She concentrated hard, closing her eyes to get more focus. When she opened them the spandex dude was standing in front of her trying to move with no avail. Galla punched him hard knocking him down. She grabbed him and threw him towards a tree at the end of the bridge. Even though she had thrown him from 20 yards away he still hit the tree dead on, rendering him unconscious.
Next she took on the slime ball. He wasn't hard. She managed to grab his tongue and tie him up with it, making sure he couldn't get free. But in her ease she forgot about the other two. She made her way back to the ground so she wasn't hanging over the gorge. When she got there a large wave of earth uprooted itself and to come thundering toward her. Having no time to change Galla jumped out of the way just in time. But it turned out to do not much good because when she jumped out of one danger she jumped into another danger. She leaped smack dab into the guy in overalls. He grabbed her by the shoulder and squeezed hard. He began slowly bringing them back making her chest stick out. Her ribs felt like they were going to explode and because of the terror she couldn't get a grip on herself to enter his mind. She began to scream and she felt a rib pop. She tried to add strength to herself, drawing from her animals but even with it she wasn't strong enough to break the Blob's grasp. (Why did I have to be stupid enough to land myself against a mutant with super strength?) She felt another rib begin to pop and she was about to resort to contacting Rorey when a red shot fired. It hit the Blob in the hands forcing him to let her go.
Galanna fell to the ground, breathing heavily. She looked up slowly to see the whole X-men team there to help her. She hoped they weren't here to kill her, but just incase they were she would have to watch it after they took care of the last two Brotherhood mutants. The girl barely had time to get up before the rest of the Brotherhood was finished off.
The X-men slowly began approaching the fallen child. Galla got up with start and backed away from them. "Stay away. I'm a monster. You don't want me with you." Aurora's face had immense amount of sadness in it as she slowly approached the poor teen.
"You're not a monster Gally. Please we do want you." Galla shook her head.
"No you don't. I'm a monster. I'm a murderer. You're scared of me. I can tell. Just stay away from me it's for your own good." Something touched her on the arm and squeezed softly.
"But it's like not like that." Kitty whispered.
"Get away from me!" Galla yelled and pushed Kitty away from her. Stumbling Kitty fell, into the gorge. Not having time to phase she hit the rocks and rolled down to the bottom. When she stopped she lay there. Not breathing.
