Prologe-
I ran out the door, crying. My parents never did that to me before. They never hit me, hurt me, or tried to kill me before so why now? Well, if no one else wants me, I'm going out on my own. I ran to the woods, tears streaking my blood covered face. Using my new found power, I transformed and soared over the forest, hoping to never be found again.
Story-
"Godཀ Do we really need to be out 'ere?" whined Toad.
Mystique, Sabertooth, and Toad walked through the woods at the base of the Appalachian Mountains. Sabertooth growled at him. Mystique rolled her eyes.
"We are hear to fetch a supposed mutant before the X-Men find them." she muttered.
Toad scowled. He didn't like these search missions. He was forced to come along, though, just in case they were dealing with a powerful mutant. Suddenly, Sabertooth stopped.
"What is it?" asked Mystique.
He sniffed the are and looked around quickly. There was a rustle in the bushes. Toad got into a fighting stance.
A roar was heard, a white object flew into Mystique, hitting her and making her hit a tree. Sabertooth and Toad turned to see a white panther with huge eagle wings coming from the shoulder blades. It lunged at Sabertooth, missing him an inch. He swiped at the creature but also missed. Then it lunged at Toad, who jumped out of the way. He flung his tongue around one of its legs and threw it into a tree. It hit the tree and slumped onto the ground. Sabertooth came forth to give the death blow when a voice was heard.
"Wait... p-p-please... I-I-I g-give up!" it stuttered.
It took a moment before the mutants realized it was coming from the creature. It stood on its two hind legs. The white fur shrunk into the skin of it. Its tail and ears disappeared. Toad stared at the former creature. Now, standing in front of them, was a young girl about Toad's age. Her white hair went past her waist. She wore animal fur to cover her and you could tell that she was starved. Eyes of gold stared in fright at them.
"Don't kill me, I'm begging you!" she crumpled to the ground, crying.
Toad cocked an eyebrow at this. What a weird girl. First she attacks, now she begs for her life. Sabertooth lowered his hand. He growled slightly then turned to see Mystique get up.
"So is this the mutant?" she asked, looking at the crying girl.
"Yup. She's th' one we've been lookin' for." Toad said, now walking over to the young woman.
He knelt down and placed a hand on her pale shoulder. She looked up, her eyes a little swollen from crying.
" 'Ey, wot's your name, girl?" he asked.
"Finola." she murmured.
"Well, Finola, we're going to take you to our home." said Mystique, kneeling down next to Toad.
"You won't hurt me will you?" Finola asked.
"No." Toad answered.
Finola smiled at him. Then, Finola's eyes rolled back and she collapsed on the ground unconscious. Sabertooth had walked back to the helicopter already, so he wasn't there. Toad picked up Finola, threw her over his shoulder, and carried her to the helicopter, Mystique right behind him.
