Task 4: A Real Piece of Fan Fiction
The following is a piece of real fan fiction based on the famous comic series X-Men. This is not the whole story and it begins with the author's disclaimer. Enjoy!
Hello, This is a author's note to explain this story. First off, this is a new approach to x-men; I'm starting from scratch to introduce the x men through new characters, ocs I've created, since I love the comics so much. This all started out as stories I told to my little brother and grew into a dream we both had to make these stories come to life. We've put our imagination and heart into these stories and now they'll finally come out of the dark and be introduced to the public.
This is the prologue of how everything begins; don't worry everything will be explained in the next chapter. This prologue is sad, but it is a foundation of the Leonardo's journey. I only own the Leonardos, Sophie, and other oc.s I'll tell you about. I do not own Marvel or the x-men. R&R and I hope you like it. :)
Trinity smelt smoke; thick terrible smoke that burnt her eyes and choked her. She sat up from her sleeping bag as she felt the heat and heard the crackling fire. Trinity called for Sophie fearfully as she saw fire creeping though the little apartment. Sophie was there; horror-filled cat's-eyes watering from the smoke. Sophie's mutant cat-ears perked down as she helped her up and they raced toward a window. Trinity shriek as something stabbed into her foot and saw it was glass and near it was a brick and bottle remains that had scraps of cloth that were on fire. The brick had Die Mutie carved into it. Trinity saw it came through one of the windows, but Sophie pulled her along as they raced away from the fire. Sophie let go of her hand and opened a window in front of them that lead to a fire escape. Sophie crawled out and was about to motion Trinity to follow, but a chunk of the ceiling fell in front of the window; fiery debris blocking the exit. Trinity screamed as the flames crept closer to her; her flesh burning from the heat as she tried to cough the smoke from her lungs. She didn't want to burn! She saw a window, and before she could stop herself she ran and crashed through it. She fell from the building and hit the ground: hard.
Pain…so much pain that it made her exhausted just to feel it…Sirens and movement…her best friend Sophie's face surrounded with strange, flowing colors…was next to her…telling her to stay awake and hold onto her… Sophie's cat-ear's perked down as she looked over at something with her tangerine eyes…Sophie was special…she was a mutant…Trinity's mother was a mutant, her aunt, and uncle…She was now on a stretcher being rushed through a lobby…too many people talking…So many colors swirling…She was in the hospital…a white room…Sophie was next to her on her own stretcher and crying…she brushed her orange hair behind her catish ear and limped over to Trinity…Trinity looked up at her friend…why was she so sad?
Sophie gripped her hand tightly, yet gently. "Trin, you're not going to die, I'll save you. You're meant for great things…" Trinity felt a strange tingling sensation that rushed through her body as she felt herself becoming stronger…the pain disappearing and then Sophie fell to the floor. Trinity felt cold dread fill her as she leapt off the hospital bed; knocking the IV over and pulling chords off her body. She kneeled over Sophie and cried. "No! No Sophie! You didn't!" She knew Sophie did…Sophie had the mutant ability to switch two people's probabilities…and she switched Trinity's destiny of dying so she would die instead and Trinity would live. Trinity held her friend's hand and begged. "Switch back! You can't die Sophie! Please don't die!"
She was wailing as Sophie gave her a wretchedly pained smile. "I don't have a family to mourn me…you do…you were my only family…so I had to…" Sophie closed her eyes as her head fell to its side. Trinity saw a strange color shift away from Sophie and she knew she was gone…
