Kitten pulled her parka around her tighter. It had been snowing more heavily all afternoon, and as night came, she wasn't sure if she could hold out. She gripped Little Ted; her teddy; tightly, as the houses' lights slowly faded.

' If only I'd been more careful,' she thought to herself 'This never would have happened.' Kitten had found she was a mutant long ago, but had never told anyone, as her family was part of the rich upper class. Those sorts of people frowned on mutants, as well as basically anyone who drew attention. When her parents had seen her powers, a week ago, their faces turned from surprise to horror.

They had to cover up this 'freak' as they saw her. She was banned to her room, not just by an order, but they installed a lock on the door and window too.

After a few days, and hearing that they were sending her away to a 'special school', kitten broke the window and escaped. It seemed like the right thing to do, but pity she hadn't planned ahead. She had taken a train to get away into a nearby town - as far as the money she had with her got her. Now Kitten faced the problem of no food, and no place to stay as the snow silently carpeted the ground.

Kitten didn't want to die alone, in the cold. Her mutant ability - to turn herself invisible - was going to be an asset. Though she had tried to stick by her morals, she had to make it away, where she could start a new life, where no one knew about it.

After turning herself invisible (and dumping her clothes. Her mutation only affected living beings - her or those she was holding - a fact that still made her blush as though others could actually see her.) so she could walk up and check doors, Kitten finally found one that wasn't locked. She slowly opened the door. When no one could be seen, Kitten became visible again. No use wasting what little energy she had left to hidden if no one was there. Kitten started looking around; these people were going through hard times, and it only made her guilt grow. She found a warm blanket, and grabbed some food, stuffing it in a bag. As Kitten turned around though, she saw the door start to open.

Kitten, panicked, automatically, turned invisible. She put the bag down, and shoved herself against the wall as a mother and boy entered.

"Quick Benny, go to your bedroom, daddy is going to be home soon"
"Are you okay mummy, you look sad"

'the innocence of children' thought Kitten, as the mother looked positively terrified.

"Mummy's fine, now go, quickly" As Benny wandered off to his bedroom, the woman walked toward the kitchen. Noticing the bag, she picked it up and examined its contents. A look of confusion passed across her features. 'Damn!' Thought Kitten, now she couldn't make a run for it. The woman entered the kitchen, and she was positively shivering, Kitten was worried about her, even though she hadn't met the woman before. The woman started preparing a meal, as Kitten headed reluctantly to the door. She wanted to comfort this woman, but knew making her self-visible wasn't the best idea. She would be a stranger turning up in this lady's house, and naked too. As Kitten reached the door, a car pulled into the driveway, knowing the driver could probably see the door, she thought it wise not to open it in front of whoever it was. But it swung open, revealing a tall man, strong muscles and covered in tattoo's. Kitten thought muscles were usually a good thing, but this man looked overbearing and mean. He reeked of alcohol, and was obviously well over the limit.

When the woman turned around she had gone a really pale colour, "James, you said u wouldn't drink any more. You know you don't think straight when you're drunk. Rose was right, you'd gone out drinking"
"Whose house is this Talia? May I remind you without me, you're on the streets, so if I wanna go and have a bit of fun, ill do as I please."

The woman, Talia, must have realised how agitated the man was becoming because she seemed to be trying to calm him. "It's okay maybe we can talk about this in the morning, I'll just get us some dinner"

"No! What is your problem woman? Think you can boss me around then act as though its all okay!" And with that, he slapped her hard across the face. Kitten cringed as the blow fell home. The man, James started muttering about her and went and got a beer from the fridge, as though nothing ever happened. Talia didn't cry or scream either, she must have known it would only make things worse.

"So where's that stupid kid of your's?" James turned toward the stairs.
"He's your son too, and leave him out of this!" Talia stepped in between James and the flight of stairs, baring his path.

"You stupid, disrespectful… I'll teach you," James, mad as ever flung the bottle over his shoulder and pulled his arm back to take the first punch. But as the bottle flew back, it hit the wall and smashed, raining pieces down on Kitten. As a piece of glass cut her arm deeply, she gasped. Bad move. James turned and tried to make sense of what he saw. Though he couldn't see Kitten herself, he could see her silhouette as the beer that was dripping down her could be seen. 'Bugger!' thought Kitten.
