A New Kind Of Mutant

Help

She looked down and he saw dark inky lines starting at her fingertips and ending in a spiralling fashion at the end of her wrist. She had pale porcelain like skin and looked drained of colour. Her voice spoke hurriedly and rushed into his head, "I am escaping tonight. This is my last chance. If you do not hear from me in a few days or cannot find me look for me. My name is Selene Emory-" Her voice was cut off sounding garbled and he could feel the fear radiating off of her. Where was this girl? He heard a new person speak, but this time he could tell it was out loud. "Erstaunlich kleines Mädchen! Sie haben ein gewisses Potenzial." He felt her shuddering in fear, but then felt resolve radiate from her. He heard her speak steely and full of resolve, "Nein sagen, jetzt ist mein Vader dies mein letzte Warnung ist für ihn, mich gehen zu lassen." Charles quickly figured that they were speaking in German and then the girl realising he was still there stiffened in shock and whispered into his mind, "Please remember. I'm being moni-" A shriek pierced his mind and he felt a deep pain in his arm. He was jolted awake holding onto the machine with tight stiff fingers. He was gripping it so hard the were turning white.

"Charles? Charles what happened?" Erik spoke shaking him a bit. "The girl, Selene, needs our help," and then he promptly passed out; his eyes rolling back and his body dropping like a sack of flour.

I was surprised it had taken them that long to realise I was communicating with someone. I mean I was hooked up to so many machines it couldn't have been that hard to tell I went into a trance. "Silly girl," the man I had come to think of as my father's right hand man slipped into a thick German accent, "Did you think we wouldn't notice you were contacting someone?" "Lesen Sie mich gehen Schwein!" "Your father is a stronger man than you think girl. He can't be defeated by a child like you. Don't you know he wants us to be united as one? He will let you be his heir. Show what power a mutant can possess. You are very powerful Selene." I felt like puking. The tales my father spun were sickening and the spell these mutants willingly fell under was even worse. They couldn't think of the blood and gore that would pave the way for a world of only mutants and what of the mutants whose children weren't ahead of the genetic process. Most mutations skipped multiple generations.

I had once been friends with the man in front of me until my father realised how different my DNA was even from most mutants. A new strain of mutation, but even though mine was strong and different there was something else that attracted my father to the thought of experimenting on my mutations and me. He told me I'd be helping the mutants and I believed him. Until I read my file. They were changing me so that I could be something more something stronger. They were taking my blood and testing it seeing how it reacted. They found the penchant I had for electricity. It was frightening to learn my own father was using me. They had to chain me and really keep me a prisoner when I tried to leave.

I stared at the guard. He stared back at me for a moment before speaking, "You foolish child. We are all the same." I growled the lights flickering, "I am nothing like you." I must have activated his mutation as thorns pushed out of him and his teeth changed into fangs until he was this hideous beast. "You're right Fräulein." His voice hurt my ears. It sounded like multiple people were speaking at once and was distorted, "How about I teach you a lesson. One our Führer doesn't need to know of." I screamed as his thorns tore into me if it wasn't for my healing I knew it'd leave scars.

"Erik we need to find her." Charles said hooking up to Cerebro once more that day. "Charles don't. You are still too weak." I stared at my new friend worried, "If she needs to she'll be able to contact you. She seems strong."
Suddenly, Charles doubled over in agony holding his head. "My god. She's in there with another mutant. Erik he's. Oh god he's hurting her horribly." I stared at Charles as a tear fell from one of his eyes. He looked at me with resolve. "We need to help her."
