"She's a freak. That…that thing is not our daughter. I want that creature out of here. NOW! I don't want a MUTANT HERE"………it hurts so much…my back, it's burning. I can't control this power. The darkness and light are fighting…IT BURNS! ………A little girl is seen sitting alone in the shadows crying. Her tears glow………I am lost. I want to go home, but where is home'………"The name's Remy, Remy Lebau…You're home now" but good things never last…
I jumped. My eyes opened revealing the night and I woke up gasping for air. It was only a nightmare, or so that's what I kept telling myself. But no, that wasn't true and I knew it. Those images were all real; at least they were at one time. They were memories, things of my past that I never wanted to remember. Things I had forgotten for a once, yet why did they haunt me again, now of all times? Maybe I'm not meant to forget them. I can't forget them…I can't forget him.
I needed to clear my mind of those thoughts, so I decided to "hunt". No. I don't mean literally hunt like a vampire, but then again, in a way it was. I approached the ledge of the building I had been staying on. You see, ever since…well the incident with my parents, I've been living alone…most of the time. I've had to steal food to survive. I can't work. No one would ever hire someone like me.
After scanning the area for the perfect place, I crouched low. There was a sensation in my back as a shadow sprouted form one shoulder blade and a light from the other. This use to hurt me so much, but now it was just a tingling feeling. Yes, they were wings. My wings. It was one of the effects of my mutation. Along with wings I somehow controlled light and darkness; shadows too. No do you see why I'm meant to be alone?
However as I was about to take off, there came a noise form behind me. There was nothing to be found, but I had the strangest feeling that I was being watched. Was it him? No. It couldn't be him. My dreams were just making me think too much…But why tonight? Why was he in my dream tonight? I really needed to clear my head. I stood on the ledge and jumped—but a voice invaded my head. It was some woman. The voice kept telling me to stop and listen. It kept telling me to join the fight for good. Was I losing my mind?! I couldn't take it anymore. I screamed. Screamed for the voice to shut up. I knew it wasn't m voice yet somehow it knew my name. "Desiree! Join us!" I fought the voice. " NO! THAT IS NOT MY NAME! I AM NOT HER ANYMORE! I AM ENIGMA!! LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Silence. My pulse was rushing and I was flushed. Panting for air was all I could manage. Who was that? Or better yet, what was that? I knew I wasn't alone now. With a glide of my hand the stars gathered together above me and the whole area surrounding was lit up. I wasn't alone anymore. I could sense shadows: two, three… no four. With another glide of my hand the stars dispersed. It was pitch black now. This was my chance to get away. I rose into the air but before long something grabbed my leg! I looked down. It was a man… with claws snarling like some beast. He was rambling on about my scent, on how he could easily find me in the dark because of my scent. I had no choice. I was being attacked. I had to attack back. My hands joined to form an orb of black light. It hit him and he fell. I was free now! But no, form behind me a heard a voice "Sugar, we're her to help you just calm down and take a breather. We aren't gonna' hurt you unless we have to, and that's only if you hurt one of us." What?! But how?? How was she flying with me! She had no wings! I had to get out of there. The girl continued " Aw Hun! Why are you making us do this?" She followed me. I could hear them now: all of them. What did they want with me? What did I do? Who were they?!
I couldn't; shake her. I would have to run. Landing on the next building I made a dash for it surrounding myself with shadows so no one could see me either. I had no doubt these people were trying to kill me. My mind was in a swirl, and unfortunately so was the world around me. Sure they couldn't see me, but I couldn't see where I was going either. Suddenly BAM!! I ran into someone and fell backwards. My heart stopped. My body was in pain trying to escape them. My head was spinning. I could taste blood in my mouth. Looking up, I couldn't believe what I saw. My eyes swelled up with tears. No this was a dream. It couldn't be real.
But before I knew anything else was happening, a cold hand touched my face from behind. My eyes grew wide as my blood turned cold. Icy blood was rushing through and out of my veins. I was getting….weaker…my powers…were…being… drained. I was frigid and my sight went out. Was this what death was like? Was I dying?
The last thing I heard was that name again, "Desiree?" but it was his voice and this time it wasn't a dream. It was too painful too real to be a dream. I passed out, and from what I was told he caught me. Once again, Remy caught me
