Ice Moon and Fire Wolf
Chapter One: Arrival 2
Mustering up all of her strength to carry both herself and Luna up to the mansion's front door, Wolf trudged across the grass, feeling very weak, hungry, exhausted and ready to collapse at any second. There were only two things that kept her going at this point: the memory of her late mutant mother, the thought of what might happen to both her and Luna if that mob caught up with them. Even if it cost Wolf her own life, she had to do it. It was all about survival of the fittest. If spending the last eighteen months living in the wilderness hadn't taught the two of them that, she wasn't sure what it HAD taught her. Wolf knew that the primary law amongst the animal kingdom was Darwin: "Survival of the fittest." If you weren't fit enough to survive, you died. Which was probably why so many species of animals had become extinct.
"Come on, Luna." Wolf said, as they reached the front door. "We're at the front door. Don't give up on me now."
But Luna didn't say anything. Instead, with a groan, she collapsed on the steps, exhausted, weak, and in pain.
Wolf was on the verge of completely losing what was left of her rationality, but she forced herself to remain calm. Panicking won't solve a thing. She thought to herself. In fact, it might make things worse.
Taking a few deep breaths, Wolf picked up Luna, and managed to ring the doorbell and not drop Luna in the process.
A woman with red hair and green eyes opened the door. "May I help you?" she asked.
I hope to God that you can. Wolf thought to herself. Out loud, she said. "I'm looking for Professor Charles Xavier." And that was the last thing she remembered doing before she collapsed onto the ground.
