Adventures of Bella (and Chester)
Prologue
"I want a dolly," screamed the little girl throwing a tantrum on the carpet. Or rather was sometime long ago was carpet. Now it was a blanket of dirt that covered the floor of the dingy apartment that the little girl called home.
Her mother, an obnoxious woman in late twenties, stared with a look of disgust at the child of the floor. "SHUT UP!" She bellowed back at the top of her lungs. Normally this would have been enough to silence the little girl. It had been a few months since Bella had stood up to her mother. She had let her mother's dominate personality overcome her own and had become very withdrawn. But after just one glance at the doll a girl in her class had brought in for show and tell, Bella knew that a doll was just what she needed. She wanted something she could share her sorrows with. Who would always be there to comfort her when mommy or daddy hit her.
"I want a dolly," she yelled.
"Shut up, you're not getting a stinkin' dolly. So you can shut you're stupid mouth."
"I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE! I WANT ONE!"
"Shut the fuck up you ungrateful piece of filth."
For a moment there was silence. The Bella yelled "I….WANT….A….DOLLY!" As she yelled this she stood up over her mother. She seemed to grow taller, more powerful and more serious as she yelled. Her, mother down on her hands and knees, felt weaker somehow, drained. Then suddenly Bella shrunk back. She seemed so much smaller and weaker all of the sudden. Her mother her strength return. Angry adrenalin flowed through the mother.
"YOU WANT A STUPID DOLLY SO BAD I'LL MAKE YOU ONE!" She that hastily picked up a dirty sock off the floor and cut the very top off. Half crazy she glued to eyeballs on it. "HERE'S YOU FRINKIN' DOLLY." She thrust the dolly at her daughter pushed them into the closest room and slammed the door.
Bella looked with apathy at her new 'dolly'. It was nothing like Mary's perfect one. It was nothing more than an old sock with a cut off top and two crooked eyeballs. But it was all she had. Slowly she put the sock of her left and hand and tucked it the top to form a mouth. "Hello," she made it say in a voice that differed from her own. "What's your name?"
"Bella," she whispered back slowly in her own voice.
"Hello Bella, my name's Chester. And I promise I will always be with you. I will always protect you." Bella hugged 'Chester" to her chest ignoring the tears that fell from her eyes. She had found a friend.
************************************************************
Professor Charles Xavier studied Cerebro's screen carefully waiting to see if it would pick up the signature again. Logan entered the room. "Something the matter Charles?" he asked when he noticed the frown the professor's face.
"Cerebro just picked up a mutant signature or at least that's what I though it was. It wasn't fully developed. Something triggered this sudden burst."
"What kind of thing?" Logan asked sniffing as though he thought some thing fishy was going on.
"Rage I think. Who ever that was is going to be pretty powerful."
"Better wait Charles, You'll get a better reading when their power develops. Can't do anything about it now." Xavier sighed knowing that Logan was right. He would just have to wait.
Author's Note: I kind of censored this chapter. I didn't want to change the rating because the rest of the story's not that bad. This chapter happens several years before the actual fic. I'll continue when I get chance. (probably after finals) Review and tell me what you think so far. Please no flames!
