The Nymph of Mutant Forest

By Nebula01

I found myself lying down on something; I was much too tired to even think about opening my eyes. I suddenly felt a shot of pain come through my body, like someone shot me with a tazer gun, and sat up, holding my dog-like ankle in pain then I noticed something. I wasn't wearing my pants or my shirt; I opened my eyes in fear seeing that my ankle was bandaged with leaves for some reason; my chest was bandaged in leaves as well.

I looked around my surroundings with a curiosity filling my mind. I was lying on a very large, surprisingly strong and sturdy, leaf like it was a hammock of some kind. My tail hung limply on the other side of the leaf as I attempted to remember what happened that got me here.

While I was thinking I looked around again to see that I was in a hut made for one. There was a bag of food in the corner that was hung in a net made of long grass. Next to the "bed" was an old rolling computer chair with a single leaf, the size of my head, on the seat of it. My ankle hurt too much hurt to move it at all so I swished my tail to it but I saw it was bandaged too.

Suddenly, a strange-colored bird came in from a window flying grabbing the green piece of plant and placing it on my thankfully covered lap. I picked up the leaf suspiciously as it landed on my blue furred shoulder watching my every move. Ignoring its sharp gaze, I saw a message on the leaf; 'Who writes on a leaf', I asked myself in question as I read the note.

Dear Mutant,

Sorry that I can't call you by your name, but that's the best I can do. You were about to step on one of my friends eggs and she injected mutated venom in your god damn system. You got damaged on your tail and chest also but those aren't serious. Don't use whatever powers it is you have if you still want to breathe because the venom's affect will speed up.

The venom first, will strike your liver, then your lungs, and finally your, fucking, heart and brain. And I don't feel like bring your blue ass into town in a "green" body bag. So, no use of your powers, understood? I took your watch with me into town so I can go get some things to help you without getting in any superstitious problems as you've already heard.

If you need anything along the lines of food, water, bladder, or otherwise, talk to Shatina. See you when I get back, blue butt.

CJ

I was surprised by my host's words, they had written the note as if mad at me when I did nothing to this person. "Don't take it too personally, CJ just doesn't like humans or human mutants in the forest", said a voice from my shoulder. I dropped the note with eyes wide as saucers. My head slowly turned, afraid of what I would see, to only find the strange-colored bird on my shoulder looking straight at me. It cocked its head to the side like it was waiting for an answer.

"I vonder if zat venom causes me to hear or see zings", I said as I looked at the bird.

"No, doesn't cause that, just death", said the bird.

I screamed like a man was not only going to kill me but also rape me too as I fell to the ground landing on my weird shaped ankle. I knew that someone must have heard me by the sound of the echo going through the hut. The talking bird landed on the leaf hammock, calmly like this happens every day. "I'm sorry, didn't mean to scare you, I was just correcting on your hypothesis. I'm called Shatina I come from Greece", introduced Shatina.

I couldn't help but stare at Shatina in her feathered glory. Her feathers shined with a silver and sapphire gleam and jet black chest. I gulped loudly, as I tried to regain most of myself. "It is quite alvright, Shatina. How did I get in here", I asked as I carefully got on to the computer chair still attempting to collect myself.

"Well, you're lucky we found you. Er, correction, you're lucky that you found CJ before Jory did", explained Shatina. "When you followed CJ, you tripped and almost landed on Amaryllis's eggs, and you landed on your back next to the nest, thankfully, not harming the eggs. She felt threatened so she injected the venom in you when she bit. Just be lucky that Zuma wasn't there, his venom would have killed you instantly. Who are you and what were you doing in the middle of the Mutant Forest, anyway, and following CJ?"

Then I remembered why I was in the forest in the first place. Shatina sounded more like she was interrogating me than she was asking me questions. I was about to answer when two words in her entire interrogation. "Mutant Forest", I said sounding more like a question than a statement.

She explained to me that humans aren't the only ones that get the X-gene and that animals instinctively come here if they have the X-gene. How they all had a special gift whether it was power like me or the power of speaking a human language like her. "Vell, Mein name is Kurt Vanger. My team, the X-men, calls me Nightcrawler. As to vhy I'm here, it's a long story."

I looked down at my healing tail, if she asked me I knew exactly where to start; I could feel the depression come over me like a blanket that makes you cold instead of warm. I felt two talons on my shoulder and heard a whisper in my pointed ear.

"I've got time." And so my story begins.
