Mutant 625

The Past

"What's going on!?" Two parents coward in the corner of their home with a bundle of blankets as multiple swat team members surround them. The father's eyes... were orange and slatted like a reptile. The mother seemed normal. Under her breath, she mumbled, barely audible. "Protect.......mutant....... Zora...." "SHE'S CASTING A SPELL!!!" A man snatched the bundle as there was a bright light around it. The team opened fire on two parents as the bundle let out a loud cry. The man holding it unwrapped the bundle revealing a little girl. "Is she a mutant? Or did these freaks kidnap a normal child?" The man shrugged. "Either way side her to the home for wayward mutants.... We can't take the chase..." Behind the team, a shadow appeared. It looked around and began following the child.

"Mutant number 625, age 5... still no powers to be seen." The young girl standing infront of this jury like crowd looked up at them. Her eyes an almost deep black. "Her eyes are black... could that be part of her mutation?" A man walked out to the girl and grabbed her face, roughly. He inspected it with a stern look. "I doubt it... I'm starting to think she isn't a mutant..." He pushed her face causing her to fall over. The jury gasped as her shadow didn't move. "The shadow didn't move! She has shadow manipulation!" The man shook his head. "No. The shadow doesn't do anything to help her. Send her back to her room. Electroshock therapy is to be done to her later." The shadow, shaped as a wolf, followed as they dragged the girl into a room and strapped her to her bed. There was several other child and teenagers in the same room. The girl turned over and faced the shadow. "What are you?" The shadow obviously didn't answer.

"Mutant 625!" A young woman stood up, she was 14 now. Her hair was longer and her eyes darker. Her face blank, she walked infront of the jury. "You are an abomination... a sin..." Two men grabbed her by her arms and strapped into a stand. To the left of the stand was a machine with cattle prods. She bared her teeth as a collar around her neck beeped. "Repeat after me mutant!!" The man talking pushed his glasses up the brim of his nose. "I am an abomination!!" The girl growled softly. The man grew impatient and grabbed a prod. "I am an abomination!!!" He touched her neck with the prod. As she began to get shocked with high power electricity, she screamed out. "SAY IT!" The girl growled defeated. "I... I am an abomination..."
