Mutant X
"The Struggle"
DVD Extras
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Okay, so yes this is the third in The Sierra Series and its third DVD versioned story.Okay so the first thing is the lovely titled which I almost titled "Adam's Struggle," but then the story would have been a bit different. ANYWAYS! "The Struggle," was titled this was because it fit a variety of event in the story.Gabriel's Struggle to get Sierra and Shalimar back.Shalimar's Struggle to keep her daughter safe and NOT to kill Analyn's parents.Brennan's Struggle to keep his wife and daughter safe.Adam's Struggle because well ya know Adam blames himself for EVERYTHING! And it's my Struggle not to kill off certain people like Gabriel right away! Hehehe I wanted to do it in "The Price We Pay!" LOL!
The title of Chapter 1 is FDR Academy, which is the name of the school that Sierra and Analyn go to. And I named it this because well in school when we were studying US History, FDR was always my favorite president and because I wanted the school to be patriotic because of September 11th. I also wanted FDR Academy to be like a private school because it makes sense since there's security and such. And in the later Sierra Series stories it's a big deal.
"Can you believe I have to wear this?!" Sierra said turning around to show Emma the red, white, and blue dress she was wearing. The dress had short puffy sleeves, the waistline was raised so that it was about three inches above her waist, and the dress went to her knees. Most of the dress was blue; there was an American flag in the middle on the chest and tiny white stars around it. The dress' trim was in red, and she wore a blue beret type of a hat with red trim and one little white star, white tights and black shoes. "I mean who actually wears this to school?"
hehehehe had to be patriotic with the uniforms! Well, I wanted it to be somewhat better than those lovely navy and white uniforms that kids usually wear.I thought it wasn't TOO overboard.but ya never know!
"Remember what we discussed about your powers?"
"Yes, I know...keep it on the down low," Sierra said.
"Brennan," Shalimar said slapping her husband lightly. "You've corrupted our precious little girl!"
"Come on Shal' she could have heard it anywhere," Brennan said and everyone laughed. "Okay, so...maybe not."
Okay, okay I needed to put this part in to show how different Sierra's environments were.from London to Sanctuary.and her parents' reactions to it! Awww I love Sierra! She's so cute!
Children being let out of school, quietly walking in their lines following their teachers. The children walked out in nice perfect lines as their parents waited for them. He spotted her...he knew it was her...he knew because of the part of him that was feral...he had found the mother of his child and now all he had to find was the child...the girl... There was someone else with her...who was it? Brennan Mulwray! What does he care of my child? He watched as a curly brown haired girl ran into Brennan's arms shouting Daddy. Daddy? He thought about it for a second Adam picked someone's DNA that he recognized! He watched as the small girl got into the silver car with Shalimar and Brennan. He watched as they drove away. Soon Shalimar, you and our daughter will come home to me again.
Oh and of COURSE! You gotta have Gabriel! And of course he's STALKING Sierra and the Mulwray family! Would we have it any other way?! So, Gabriel hates Brennan.does that surprise ANYONE?! It better not! In "A Breed Apart" Brennan looked like he was ready to kill Gabriel for taking Shalimar! And Gabriel HAS to be possessive of things he things are his.
"No one likes me...well except Analyn, but no one likes her either."
"Why not? Why don't they like you two?"
"I'm five and they're all six or seven and they say I talk funny and I told them I just have an accent because I grew up in London and they said that that made me really weird."
"You're not weird sweetie," Shalimar said hugging Sierra. "You are wonderful!"
"Why don't they like Analyn?" Jesse asked.
"Because she has bright red hair and she wears glasses. They're really mean to her."
You know it's true! If you're different then you're an outcast! I wanted to put an emphasis on the fact that Analyn and Sierra were different and why.and the MX team's reactions.
"It's Analyn," she said and they were let in. The door was open by an elderly man in a suit.
"I take it they forgot you again, Miss?" the butler asked.
"Yes," she told him and then came her two parents down the stairs yelling and fighting.
"Sir. Ma'am. Miss Analyn was forgotten again," the butler informed them.
"What the HELL do we look like? Do we look like we don't have important lives?" her mother said angrily at Analyn and slapped her face.
Instantly Shalimar went into feral protective mode. "Hey! You can't slap a child like that!" Shalimar yelled and was going to go after them when Sierra tugged at her arm. "Come on Sierra, Analyn," Shalimar said leading them out of the house.
Okay, come on you know Shalimar would SO react like this.I mainly wanted to include this to give a background on Analyn.Analyn.well I don't know how I exactly came up with the idea to add her to the story and to The Mulwray Family.I just did and it seemed right.
"I need to talk to you," Shalimar told him.
"Okay, so why don't you two go find Emma, Jesse, or Adam and play with them for a while?" Brennan suggested.
"Why don't we go look through the books I brought with me from London?" Sierra suggested instead.
"Really?" Analyn asked.
"Most are in French, they're all quite lovely books," Sierra said leading Analyn to her room.
"Are we sure she's ours?" Brennan asked.
"Yes.and she's nothing like us," Shalimar sighed.
"She looks like us."
"But that's about it."
Obviously Sierra IS A LOT different from her parents.she was brought up in London in a strict environment.but that's one of the reasons why she's so special and why I like her so much.but then there are some people who don't like her.so sad!...I love the kids!
Minutes later, Analyn and Sierra entered and the woman told them that there had been an accident and they were to go with Gabriel and Kelly. Analyn nodded and started out of the office. Sierra quickly ran after Analyn. Sierra took Analyn's hand and used her telepathy. Analyn, can you hear me? Analyn's eyes got wide and she nodded slightly. These people are the bad guys; we're going to need to run for it. You ready? When Analyn nodded the two girls started running, but Gabriel caught Sierra's arm and separated them. Sierra got lose, but Kelly put up a firewall in between her and Analyn. Sierra instantly froze and her eyes glowed gold.
"My dear child, didn't your mother tell you that I'm a psionic, too?" Gabriel asked taking a hold of Sierra. Kelly caught Analyn and dragged her into the van.
Hmmm why is this here? Oh yeah! I wanted to show Sierra using her powers and Analyn's reaction when she used it to communicate to her.and I wanted to have her using both of her New Mutant powers.also the fact that she knew that Gabriel and Kelly were not to be trusted and that they were lying.
"I hate you and I'm not going to stay here with you! I hate you, don't you understand that?!" Sierra yelled and Gabriel was shocked. Sierra turned back to her mother. "I know it's scary, but Daddy and Analyn and Uncle Jesse and Aunt Emma are waiting. Look Adam's here, we'll all go over together.please?" Sierra pleaded with her mother. "Mum?" Sierra asked and Shalimar held onto Sierra's hand and Adam's hand. As they approached the fire wall Shalimar and Sierra's eyes glowed gold. Shalimar, Adam, and Sierra got a running start and jumped. They made it over the firewall.
Oh! Oh! Okay this scene is in the lovely DVD extras author commentary section for more than one reason! I know! Ohhh ahhh! Hehehe.okay.so first of all this scene was written AFTER I started "Unconditional Love," because I was at school or something and I didn't know off the top of my head where I was so I just started the next one.this scene is also important because it shows Sierra's hatred of Gabriel and how she and Shalimar are stopped by the fire and how it gets solved.
Okay so that's the end of this rather I'm sure DULL extras for you.hopefully I'll have more special extras for "Cody's Angels," since that's the Sierra Series story I am currently working on and finishing.because my other DVD extras stories have alternate endings, deleted scenes, and credits ALONG with the Author Commentary.anyways! Thanks for all who actually read this!
