Sororum

We were located in a bar near the border of France, we had just left the City of Paris after getting in trouble with the cops, turns out that stealing an apple can cause a huge problem. I had always questioned the Law, surely there was a significant hole in the rules, such as the fact that you were stealing to survive. Surviving is an everyday thing that people do, breathing is the Human's bodies way of surviving. So me and my sister steal to survive -an instinct not even the law can deny- yet we are still told off for living, the law is a very funny thing.

Fera took a sip from her glass of red wine, timidly placing it down and looking around in case anyone saw her with their missing drink. I almost wanted to laugh at how shy she was, instead I decided to take a long sip of the Beer I managed to get off some stranger. That was probably why I loved my ability, it made it simple for me to get drinks.

One of the things my Mutation allowed me to do was replace memories, I would find a person with enough money to buy me and my sister a drink. Then I'd make them believe that we were in relation with the said person, they would then follow with buying us a drink seen as we were conveniently located in a bar on meeting.

"Don't laugh at me Animus." She ordered, only making my snicker turn in to a laugh. Don't get me wrong, I will always protect my little sister and she will always be my Best Friend. It was just rather funny whenever she tried to order me about in her whispering voice, she had always been a shy girl, I suppose that's what made people like her more then me. "I'm being serious."

I shut up instantly, realizing that I had begun to harm her feelings. It was unintentional of course, sometimes I would forget that she had been rather traumatized with the past we had to go through and was still getting use to the way we were living nowadays. I wouldn't say we were rich, we had a fairly amount of money when we lived the Family.

Then one day our abilities began to shine through, I was first to find out about mine. I was out with my best friends, when I held my (ex)boyfriends hand and suddenly I saw all about his past, all the memories that littered his small brain, including all the woman he decided to hook up with while being my Boyfriend. Wasn't the most tremendous experience, and neither was Fera's really.

I went to go give her breakfast on her Th Birthday, it was my special pancakes which she always enjoyed and would beg for on her Birthday. When I entered the room however, I did not find a Human girl, I found a curled up tigress. I screamed, she screamed and then morphed back to a Human. It was rather shocking at first, but as soon as I realized that she was a Mutant I swore on my life to protect her.

Fera never saw how dark they could be, how horrible they could act. At such a young age she was unable to control the ability and sometimes she would slip up, a pig nose would appear or a monkey tail form on her behind. Freak, that's what she was called as well as myself as soon as they realized that I also shared a power.

So I did the first thing that came to my head, I never planned it out; just left the house with a large sum of money and my sister. Back then we were known as Nina and Holly, Nina changed her name to Fera which is Latin for wild while I changed mine to Animus which is Latin for mind. From then on we wandered the streets, I must admit that sharing our abilities made it so much more easier, it didn't withheld the dangers though.

After stealing an apple for food on the streets, at age 23 and myself being 25 we now found ourself in a bar with just drunken men to entertain us. I saw the boredom and frown that was placed on Fera's face and decided I would change that.

My eyes saw the laughing man across from us, he was the loudest out of everyone so was obviously looking for the most attention. He seemed like a person who liked to have fun and would love to entertain everyone if he could, my fingers moved towards my hand in an oblivious way so it looked like I was just putting my head against my hand.

I saw the memories of this man, he had previous failed relationships and was angry at his parents for continuously trying to hook him up. Time to change this.

Now his memories were of a farm, with all his other chicken family and friends. In second she was sat on the ground with a blank expressions, clicking his tongue sometimes as if to make the sound of a chicken. He jumped up and started to flap his arms around hysterically. Once he bent over you could see that he had soiled his pants, or in his trail of thought he believes that he has just laid an egg. Fera almost fell of her chair in a fit of laughter, she couldn't stop and you could tell how hard she was trying too.

"That was a cool trick," We both jumped and turned around at the voice, surprised about the sudden occurrence and scared that someone had realized using our ability. A brown haired male was sat in a wheelchair, he was trying to hold back a smile at my little joke. "I think it would be better if you returned him back to normal however." He gently spoke, it was creepy however because I swore his mouth didn't move at all, almost like the voice was in my head.

I returned the fingers to my head and then the stranger turned back normal, cheeks instantly going red as he tried to figure out what had happened in the past ten minutes. "Hello." Fera spoke up shyly, stretching out her hand. I was bewildered at her sign of socializing, usually I was the one to first converse with a stranger, I thought she picked the wrong time to break out of her shell however. We didn't know the man and now here she was trying to converse with someone who could be an enemy.

"Who are you?" I cut straight to the point.

He looked at me with raised eye-brows, if he was hoping for the same treatment he received from my Sister he had another thing coming. "Charles Xavier," He finished shaking Fera's hand and then turned to me, "and I'm hoping to have your assistance."

I didn't give him time to continue, in fact he didn't even continue, it was like he knew I was about to read through the memories that whizzed around his intelligent mind. I saw many adventures mixed in with celebratory events, and a man, who use to be a great ally but was now an enemy. Charles was taking the risk of collecting others to help him from his old friends wrath.

Fera shoved my shoulder, she may be shy but she most certainly wasn't stupid. She realized that something was up and so she wanted to be informed, I took her hand and shared the facts in her mind. I was only able to share thoughts through skin-to-skin contact. "We'll help," she jumped up with a smile on her face, finishing of the red wine with a quick gulp.

Another event which my sister has done to perplex me, maybe this Charles person was controlling her mind. I gave her a glare, she was still so shrouded in her own little Narnia that she was inattentive to the tricksters and menaces that wandered this dark planet.

"I'm hoping you both will," he spoke up with a kind smile placed on his lips. I couldn't trust the man though, I couldn't trust anyone. "Please."

I knew from his memories that the male was brought up with manners, he was rich just like me and Fera use to be, the only difference I could find with our background information is the fact that he still had a collection of money and a home. A home which we could live in, I knew it would be a smart idea if I said yes, then thoughts such as 'what if it's a trap' began to fill my head.

"Oh, I can promise it isn't a trap." Charles looked at me with an incredulous look, offended I had said such a offensive thing. And I believed him, I had seen his memories so knew he was not one to lie often, and the softness of his voice only provided belief that he was a nice gentlemen.

I turned my head to my dear sister. I had decided ever since I dragged her a long with me in to this horrible world that I would no longer to force her to do anything she didn't want too. From the look she sent my way I could see that she did indeed feel a sense of need to do this. She wanted to help the stranger, I didn't try to understand. If it was a trap, then fine I could easily fight my way out of it with no doubts.

"Fine."
