I don't own Mutant X or one of the characters! Angel and Alicha are mine but I don't care if

someone wants to use them. Just tell me. R&R! Have a nice day ;)

Silence lay over a wore down warehouse near the outskirts of the city. Only a young girl,

maybe fifteen, was awake in the middle of the night. Everybody else in the warehouse was

asleep and so no one realised that the girl left the building to sneak into the forest next to it.

Her eyes gleamed yellow in the darkness when she made her way through the plants and trees.

After a few minutes she stopped to sit down in the middle of a clearing. She could see the

start and the full moon through the trees and she smiled. Even she was exhausted from a

heavy day of being chased by the GSD she couldn't just lay down and sleep, the night was too

beautiful and peaceful to oversleep it. Suddenly she became aware of another mutant being

near her. She turned around to face her sister. "What the hell are you doing here in the middle

of the night," she questioned angrily and forced her to stand up. The girl flashed her eyes at

her and looked up to the moon again. "I don't wanna sleep this night! Look up to the sky, it's

so wonderful. Why can't you understand me? You are a feral as well!" Her sister rolled her

eyes. " Angel, I don't share your passion about a sleepless night because we all had a hard day

and I'm really tired. So please come home with me before someone notices us." The older

woman grabbed her hand and pulled her back to the warehouse.

Shalimar woke up in the middle of the night because someone had knocked on her door.

"Shal, are you in there?" It was Brennan's voice. The Feral stood up and opened. "Where else

should I be, idiot," she snapped at him. "Why the hell are you waking me up at three o'clock

just to ask me if I'm in my room?" Brennan walked past her and sat down on her bed. "I

couldn't sleep because I have to ask you something. Why are you avoiding me for a few

days? Every time I enter a room in the Sanctuary you leave it. What's the matter with you? If

I said something wrong, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!" Shalimar just looked at him.

How could she tell him that it was his smell driving her crazy? She wanted him so badly, she

loved him but she didn't want to tell him because she was afraid that he didn't share her

feelings and this would destroy their friendship. "I'm not avoiding you," she started a bit

insecure. Brennan stood up and touched her naked arm. "Don't be afraid, just tell me if I did

something wrong. I don't want you to stay like that," he said silently. Shalimar tried not to

gasp under his touch and struggled to calm down. Every time he touched her skin she wished

nothing more than this moment lasting forever. "I can't be close to you, I can't handle it! It's

just .Brennan," she stopped. The man smiled and stroked her cheek. "I love you too, Shal,"

he said and kissed her forehead. Shalimar didn't know what to say. She gave a gasp of

surprise because of his confession. "Why do you know that I love you," she questioned. "I

guessed it but I'm really happy that I was right. I love you Shal, please don't avoid me

another day, I couldn't handle it!" The feral laughed and pulled him nearer. Brennan started to

kiss her passionately while she pushed him onto her bed. They broke apart for a few seconds

to pull out their clothes, then went on with the kiss. Shalimar felt like being in heaven and so

did Brennan. They both wanted this to happen for so long! She melted under his touches and

under his caressing kisses. Her hands glided down his back to his hips. 'This must be a dream.

A good dream,' she thought before letting him move inside her.

Screams woke Angel up a few hours after she had fallen asleep. She couldn't realise what was

going on but then she became aware of a great heat filling the room. The warehouse was

burning! "Angel," her sister Alicha screamed her name in fear. "Angel, come over to me!"

The girl jumped from her bed and ran to the her. Some other Ferals, friends of them, were

trying to get out of the warehouse but without any success. The metal of the walls was starting

to melt under the fire and it was nearly impossible to open the door. Cat, a friend of Alicha

ran over to them, totally panicked. The only thing Ferals really fear was fire and they didn't

only fear it. It was like facing their greatest enemy for them. Angel looked up to one of the

windows in the roof. "There," she pointed at one of it." We have to get out of here through

this window! Go!" She pushed her sister into the direction of the window. Alicha jumped up

to it and climbed out and so did Cat. Angel wasn't sure if she could jump as high as her sister

but she had to try it if she didn't want to be burned alive! She went back a few steps and then

jumped. She reached the window with her hands and Alicha helped her to climbed out as

well. The roof was hot and she could feel that the surface was vibrating. "Let's jump down

and run! The whole surrounding is guarded by agents." Cat looked at the girls and waited till

they nodded in automatic agreement. They jumped down from the roof and started to run.

They could hear voices behind them and Angel noticed that at least ten agent were

following them. She could see Alicha near her making her way through the bushes. They ran

as fast as they could but the agents were on their heels, shooting at them. Suddenly she could

hear Alicha screaming in agony. An agent had shot her into the stomach and she had fallen to

the ground. Angel wanted to run back to her but the agents came closer and closer. "Run

Angie, run," screamed Alicha before loosing consciousness . The girl hesitated for a few

seconds, then ran again till the end of the forest. She ran over the highway, the agents still on

her heels. Suddenly a silver car raced over the street and blocked her way. Angel stopped and

tried to ran into another direction but agents were spreading ever where. A man climbed out

of the car and screamed: "Get in!" Angel shook her head but the man ran to her, grabbed her

arm and pushed her into the car. The agents shot at them but no bullet hit the surface of the

car. "Calm down, feral, we're friends. I'm Brennan and this is Jesse. We are members of

Mutant X. Someone called us because the sanctuary of a lot of Ferals is burning. I guess

you're one of those Ferals, aren't you?" Angel merely nodded and stared at the forest. She

could see the smog of the flames floating through the air. "Is there anything we can do for the

other Ferals," asked Brennan but the girl shook her head. "No. My sister and a friend of my

sister escaped through a window in our room but the others are trapped inside the warehouse.

GSA agents set the building in fire while we were sleeping- they tried to find for so long! The

others are lost, it's too dangerous to go back. There are dozens of agents guarding the

warehouse so no Feral can escape. The bumped down my sister Alicha. Please let me out of

the car, I have to go for her!" Jesse stopped the car. "It's your decision if you want to come

with us or if you want to free your sister. But if you are really willing to do this, you'll be the

next bumped down Feral! Agents make no compromises." Tears started to ran down the girl's

cheek. "OK, I'll come with you. She didn't want me to come back anyway," she said silently

and Jesse drove the car to the sanctuary.

Ok, end of part one, please let me know if you like it and if I shall go on. Let me know if you don't like it too! There'll be more Shal/Bren in the next part, I promise.
