Puff, puff, smack, smack. My feet slapping the sidewalk mingled with my labored breathing. My strength was fading fast and I knew it. How could this huge man run so freakin' fast?! This guy was weird to, not just abnormally large. He was probably two feet taller than me, which would make him about seven feet something. He also had long, dirty blond hair and claws. And did I mention his fangs? Not like Dracula but like a cat. As I was to find out later, his name was Sabertooth. Pretty fitting if you ask me.

Anyway, this nut was chasing me and I was kinda scared, mostly 'cause I wasn't really used to huge dudes chasin' me, even fellow mutants. Oh yeah, didn't I tell you already? I'm a mutant. I can make myself insubstantial (like a hologram or a ghost) or invisible. If I concentrate really hard, I can do both at once.

I used to rock at hide-and-seek, I could just disappear and follow the seeker around. But that was when I was younger, when I still had parents. Now I could take care of myself. At least, I had thought I could. By this time, Sabertooth had caught up with me. One whack to my temple and everything went black.

I woke up almost immediately but it seemed like hours. The acing in my head felt like a jackhammer and kept me from sitting up. I could see Sabertooth though; he was standing about ten feet away from me, looking around as if he was waiting for someone. I think we heard the pounding of feet at the same time. I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from at first, and then I realized someone or something was running across the roofs. I looked to the building next to me in time to see something with foot long claws jump from the top. It sailed through the air and landed with a grunt on top of Sabertooth. Seeing those claws disappear into the back of my attacker was too much and, again, I lost consciousness.
