A/N: I am so, so sorry your guys! I know I said I would update maybe if I had time, but I did warn you guys about not updating until school was over and then everything was crazy at my house and at school, which I just got out of school Friday (so updates will continue) and it's freakin' HOT over here (it just takes my will to write to do practically anything. It sucks.)
So to make it up to you guys, I've made this chapter longer, yes longer. Because last chapter I tried to make it longer as well but It was shorter then the first two! So I had made it my mission to make this the longest, and hopefully I succeeded(:
Thank you to everyone who reviewed and put this story as their favorite and are following it, it makes me so happy and practically well up with tears that you guys were supportive about me not updating for a while. So thank you(:

…
She stood in complete darkness, she didn't know where she was or how she got there, but she was pretty sure that it was most definitely not her bedroom she shares with her bubbly roommate. She started taking small cautious steps into the black abyss and the more she walked, the more she found that it was never ending.
She broke out into a run and than a sprint, but still nothing. Her breaths became labored and soon she was hyperventilating; panic was setting in, she realized. she was scared. She didn't know what was going on or where she was, hell there was nothing in this black void!
She stopped running, bending over with her hands clutching her knees and taking deep breaths. She needed to calm down and figure out where she was and how to get the hell out.
As she stood up, a small bright light was see, her eyes widen and before she knew It, her feet were moving, that turned into a run, and then she was sprinting again. She was so close to the light she could almost touch it... just a little more...
Her hand made contact.
6 years ago...
October stood in a room, a plain and dust filled room, with one window that had been broken long ago and was never repaired. A bunk bed sit in the corner of the room next to the broken window, the sheets were stained and dirty, there original white a brown-ish yellow. A dusty dresser that was missing nobs was up against the wall opposite of the bunk bed.
October knew this place, she could never forget it no matter hard she tried. It was the orphanage.
The place she had hated. No. Loathed. Where her own Mother had dropped her off, where every day of her life was spent, where she was alone.
October's heart dropped. Why was she here? Why of all places did she end up here? Why wasn't she at the Mansion? Why wasn't there a energetic Pink-haired girl talking off her ear? Why?
Before she could question herself further, a small ten-year-old girl walked into the room, her hair was as pale as her skin and fell like a curtain in front of her face, hiding sad electric blue eyes.
October stared at the little girl with wide eyes, the same eyes as the little girl who walked straight passed her, as if she wasn't even there.
What the hell was going on?
Before she could utter a word, a girl with blonde pig-tails ran right through her.
Through her.
October blinked several times, before doing a double take at where the girl used to be and where she was now. Which was in front of the little girl.
On no.
October had seen this before, hell she had lived it.
The blonde little girl towered over the smaller girl, a grin was present on her chubby face and a gleeful look was in her eyes, one that October and the smaller girl knew were not of good intention. The blonde little girl put both hands on her hip and leaned forward, so that she was inches away from the smaller girls face.
The blonde little girl scrunched up her nose in disgust at the smaller girl "Your eyes are so creepy, and you wonder why every is so scared of you, its because your creepy, I mean what girl has white hair at ten years old? Nobody, that's who."
October could feel the pain that crossed the younger girls face at the other girls hurtful words, she remembers this day like yesterday, it was the day she had...
October's eyes shot open in realization.
Oh shit!
That day was the day October had lost control.
No! Not again! She had to stop this!
"Stop!" She tried yelling, but there was no affect, its like they couldn't hear her? But why was that?
October tried to reach for the blonde girls arm but her hand went straight through her arm like smoke.
What?
She tried yelling again but nothing happened. She couldn't do anything. Only watch.
October watched as it came, the final sentence that caused her younger self to explode.
The blonde girl's face twisted into a look of annoyance when little October did nothing but look at the ground. She wasn't satisfied. She brought both her hands out and roughly pushed little October. Little October cried out as her fragile body fell hard, her head smacking loudly against the dirty wooden floor, and tears prickled at her wide doe-like eyes.
The blonde little girl smiled in satisfaction when little October sat up with her elbows and winced when she felt the back of her throbbing head, her teary eyes widening farther at seeing the blood on her hand.
October watched with her own teary eyes at her younger self, her back slowing sliding down the wall she had leaned up against. It wasn't fair. Why had she been treated so cruelly? She didn't even do anything! All October wanted to do was hug the younger girl and tell her everything would be alright, and that things will get better. But that would be a lie. Because things didn't get better, not when your a Mutant.
"She didn't do anything wrong... It's not her fault..." She mumbled as the tears fell without her permission.
This was it.
As little October continued to stare at her blood stained hand, the blonde little girl smirked.
"Are you going to cry? Why? Because I pushed you and gave you a boo-boo? Or because even your own Mom knew that your were a freak!"
That was it. That was what did it.
Little October greeted her teeth, her teary eyes narrowed and sparked with electricity, her hands clenched. Suddenly small sparks of electricity started crackling around her, her hair hid her face as her small body began to levitate. The blonde little girl stood with her mouth hanging open and a horror struck face.
Little October's hair begin to whip around her, revealing her now glowing white eyes, the blue sparks jumping from her eyes like fire works. The little girl was trembling now, tears spilling down her chubby cheeks like a waterfall. Strange marks began to form on little October's eyes and arms, they were blue and glowed, they went down her arms like lightening strikes, the ones on her face were at the corners of her eyes. Little October gave out an scream that shattered the already broken window.
"Leave me alone!"
Then everything went white.
...
Okay so I went a little more into October's past, but decided to put a cliffhanger at the end, because I'm evil (this shouldn't surprise anyone who knows me). And I know I didn't include any of the other characters in this chapter, I kinda've made this a filler chapter, but I will make the next chapter with the characters.
Now the next chapter will still be AU but then I want the chapter after that to go right into the movie plotline, which I should be more eventful and action filled.
So now you guys know October's powers! The first being obviously Electricity Manipulation: The ability to control, generate, and absorb electric fields. The second being Teleportation, as seen in chapter one where she disappears in a wisp of wind.
Now there is a third power, but is very minor. It's called Ecological Empathy: The ability to sense the overall well-being and conditions of one's immediate environment and natural setting stemming from a psychic sensitivity to nature. Now this was also seen in chapter one where she can sense when there is a shift in the clouds and knows when a streak of lightening will appear. I don't really this power as a separate power from Electricity Manipulation, only because I feel like they are apart of each other, both being elemental and environment powers. So please don't get made that she has three different abilities, I absolutely not making my character a Mary-Sue. I will have October strike me down with a bolt of electricity before that happens.
So I hope You guys liked the chapter and again so thankful to all of you guys, your amazingly wonderful readers. Reviews are always appreciated ^_^
