Don't own X-men

Falling down was the hard part, especially in what I was wearing. My jacket and jeans had holes and throughout them, and my skin was full of cuts and blood. I muttered a swear word under my breath when I thought of what Larena would say. Suddenly, I was knocked backwards on top of someone. Apparently, Ben decided to come. We both got up, and I punched him in the shoulder. I then shouted, "Next time, warn me, OK?"

He flinched and said, "OK, let's find Juli-wait are you bleeding?" He scrunched his face up.

I nodded and wondered, "You're afraid of blood? It's not that bad." I wiped off my cuts. A scream echoed the underground cave. "Crap, Let's go!" I shouted. We then ran to follow the scream. Juliet was shaking and crying. Ben and I ran towards her. She pointed behind us and let out the biggest scream ever.

Behind us was a blue gorilla, with humanoid features. I looked beside me and Ben had disappeared. To tell the truth, I was more afraid that Ben was gone than I was of the monkey. He just felt like a good person, trustworthy. I looked all around me, but he was no where to be found. Juliet must not have noticed, she screamed, "What the hell are you looking for? Get the blue thing."

Ben had appeared in front of me and looked like he was going to be killed. Juliet stood up and looked shocked. The blue monkey smiled and I noticed he was wearing glasses. Then, I looked at Ben who had just turned invisible then visible again. Any normal person would freak out, but being me, well, I smiled.

My euphoria did not last long, however, because an African lady with white hair came out, put her hands up, and it started to rain. I had no clue how it was raining underground, but I knew it was because of the lady. I looked behind me at Juliet and she was very upset that the rain was ruining her make-up, but not that it was raining underground. She threw her arms up, similar to the woman's, and the water seemed to avoid her.

Another girl, this one with a yellow and black pantsuit and brown hair, came into view. She walked over to Ben and pushed him backwards into the stone wall. He phased into the wall. The brunette started jumping up and down shouting in a perky voice, "They are! They are!"

The gorilla looked at me and said, "We have not tested her yet." I got in a fighting position, but he laughed, "We won't harm you. Your test is to show us how you're different. If you don't want to you don't have to."

I smiled at the challenge and did a series of cartwheels and back flips. I jumped onto a nearby wall and climbed to the top, then jumped off. Ben looked impressed, but I told him, "One more thing," Then pushed with my mind to lift the rock beside me. When it worked, Ben, gorilla, and a shadow coming towards us clapped.

Spike came into view and I dropped the rock. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry that I haven't told the truth, but we had to make sure you we're really mutants. Now, I can show you the real me." He grabbed his arm and slowly pulled it off, revealing a long, silver sword in it's place.

"Wow, that's amazing," I whispered.

Under his breath, Ben said, "I've seen cooler."

Spike proceeded to tell us what we really are, "You obviously know about the Mutant War, but we never really learned much about it at school. The humans were afraid we would change the world, so they did what they do best: fought. It was a mass genocide of mutant kind. Our kind were put in rooms and shot like in World War II. Some tried to rebel, but they just made it worst. Some mutants were kept in cells to experiment on, like these three. Humans were also afraid of what would happen if the experimental mutants had children. This lead to-uh-neutering those poor mutants. Thankfully, Beast, Kitty, and Ororo escaped. We don't really know if any other mutants escaped, but we sure hope so. After they left, Beast discovered a way to put their DNA into three babies, you three. Kitty broke into the hospital and choose you guys to be their mutant descendents. They found me and took me in when I was young. Now they're going to train you guys."

This was quite a lot to process. My mind was racing with a thousand questions. What would Larena think? Why did I have more powers than everyone else? Who would we have to fight? I mean in any fantasy movie where people learn they're learning to fight they have an arch nemisis or something.

Juliet was beyond ecstatic and was rambling about everything, "This is so cool! We're gonna train all together and become best friends. I'm also glad that you don't wanna hurt us. I mean, I was so scared. You heard me scream right?"

I was hardly paying attention. All I wanted-needed-was to get away, to wake up, or to pretend it wasn't real. I stuttered my goodbye, "I-I-My sister probably wants me home. I have to go." Then, I climbed up the hole to the top. Once I got to the top, I couldn't hold back my tears, and they poured out all at once. I ran to the only place I felt safe to cry: the abandoned swimming hole.

I walked the small path to the creek I always loved to swim at, and looked down at the cool water. I didn't have my bathing suit, so I striped into my underwear and bra. They were white with little red cherries all over them and they had a red bow in the middle of the bra and underwear. Leaving the rest of my clothes on the bigger rock (There were only three that weren't underwater). As I hopped in, the water washed away my tears. I was swimming toward the small waterfalls, an object it the water caught my attention. It looked like metal mixed with plastic.

I was so interested in the object that I didn't notice a rock fly out of no where and hit me in the back of the head, leaving me unconscious and alone, floating in the water.

Yay cliffhanger :-) Review and you'll see what happens ;)
