Chapter 1—The Introduction
--Midnight, Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters
A lone figure walks the area just outside the fenced school grounds. Upon reaching the front gates, the figure leaps over the gates and lands soundlessly. Standing the figure begins to walk towards the front door of the school. When the figure reaches the steps in front of the doors, they are thrown open.
Standing in the door way is a man with three claws protruding from each hand, "You got five seconds to get off this property before hunting season is open, Bub," growls the man.
The figure, now revealed by the light emanating from the doorway, is a young man with pure white skin, waist length silver hair, and pitch black pants and vest that fit tightly over his thin frame, his eyes faintly glow a deep red. "If you wish to fight me Mr. Logan you may do so after I have spoken with Professor Xavier," comes a low, almost menacing voice.
Reaching down to his belt Logan grabs a communicator, "Chuck there is a kid here to see you, want me to throw him out?"
"That will not be necessary, Logan. Please show him the way to my office," came the even toned voice of the Professor.
"Ok Bub, come with me," growls Logan as he turns and leads the pale young man into the building.
Upon reaching the Professor's study the boy looks at Logan and notices that Logan hasn't retracted his claws. "Come now, Mr. Logan I am sure you could stop me from harming any person within these walls without those," without another word, or backwards glance he enters the room. Now looking at a figure hidden partially in the shadows, the boy bows and speaks with a friendly tone, "You have a very beautiful home, sir," he watches as Professor Charles Xavier wheels his chair into the light to gain a better look at the person before him.
"Thank you, now what is it that you want from me and my institute?" inquires the Professor, as he crosses his hands in his lap.
"Well, if you want to be direct then so shall I. My name is Cobal Von Dracula, my sister and I humbly request a place to stay, here in your home," Cobal pauses to take a breath and then continue but is interrupted but the Professor.
"Von Dracula? You mean the vampire that drank blood from people in Eastern Europe?" inquires the Professor, with a slightly startled expression on his face.
"Count Dracula is my great great grandfather, but I don't have any fond memories of him," states Cobal as his eyes begin to glow brighter.
"Why is that if I may be so brazen to ask?" questions the Professor.
"I am only a half vampire, I am a disease according to full bloods and therefore I am an abomination. My mother fell in love with a human and had a son, aka me, on my sixth birthday, my family was found by a group of vampires sent by the Count to hunt down and kill me. I watched as my mother and father were decapitated," Cobal's eyes continue to grow brighter until almost the whole room is illuminated by their glow, "that is when my mutation appeared, a single blade emerged from both of my wrists, as long as my forearm and with those I killed my parents' murderers. Only one vampire survived, she calmed me and prevented me from killing everyone near my home. She took pity on me and took me on as her step-brother; we have been together for close to twelve years now." Upon finishing his story Cobal's eyes begin to return to normal.
"That is a very sad story. But I have a few questions for you before I allow you to remain here. Firstly, will it be just you staying here, or will your sister be here as well?" asks Professor Xavier, his eyes closed.
"Both my sister and I would like to remain here, but I am sure she could find a place to stay in Bayville. Oh and yes we drink blood mostly because it heals us incredibly fast." A smile crosses Cobal's face showing his fangs.
"Ok now if I am going to allow your sister to stay here I need to know does she have a mutation."
"By your standards yes, by mine no. She doesn't have a mutation per say, but when you consider that that we both can lift several hundred pounds without much effort, and easily jump thirty feet into the air. Yea she has a mutation or two." A large smile crosses Cobal's face as he sees the surprise in Xavier's face.
"Incredible, well I don't have a problem with you joining the institute. But I must make myself perfectly clear when I say You WILL NOT feed off of the other students under my care, do I make myself clear?" A slight menace is entwined with in the professor's statement that could rival that of Logan.
"Crystal, now if you will excuse me I shall go and collect my things as well as my sister and return later today," Giving yet another bow, Cobal turns and leaves the institute.
"What do you think Logan?" inquires Xavier once Cobal has left.
"I think he would make a fine addition to the team," responds Logan from were he is standing in the shadows.
"Why do you think that?"
"He maybe strong but he must have flaws perhaps joining the x-men will help him, as well as rest of the team."
"True. Good night Logan, can you see that we have to beds set up for them, please?"
"Sure, Good night Chuck."
Well what do you think? I thought it was a neat little idea I got a lot more floating in my head it is just going to take me some time to type it all and then upload it to the computer. Please review and tell me if you have any ideas as to what you think should happen or just tell me how insane you think I am.
