Storm's Darkest Hour
By EX SIN

My story takes place in Africa, when I was just a young girl. I remember my parents quit well, for being just a baby. I remember the way they use to look at me, and the way they said they would always be there for me. Although i was very young, I understood what they meant. Five years went by, I remember my parents and i being on top of one of the tallest buildings in the Middle East Africa. My father was there taking pictures, I think. When suddenly planes were flying every where, and guns were goin off from the skyborn planes. I saw planes falling left and right, exploding in front of our eyes. My father tried to hurry my mother and I out from there. But we were to late, at that moment we tried to leave, a plane caught fire, and was on its way to its districting doom. Little did I know, it was the doom of my parents as well.

Moments later, I remember awaking, and being buried alive underneath the Ashes and pieces that was left of the destroyed building. I recall seeing my parents lying there, Dead. I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. My mother and father tried to save me, but they couldn't. They had such terror in there eyes, and gave me such a loving, yet worried look before they died. I will never forget that look in their eyes, when I looked at them in there last moments of life. Such love, worriedness, scared, yet in a way peaceful. From that moment on, I was an orphan wondering the streets, in look of parents, which I knew I would never see again.

I was soon found by a sweet man named Achmid. He taught me how to fight, beg, steal, and how to live on my own out in the busy world. Within two years I was the best thief in all of Africa.

For some strange reason, I had an urge to just leave the city and travel south. I was soon on my way, to the Sahara. There is where my inner woman was unleashed. I soon discovered I was gifted with the powers of the weather. And with these powers, I was worshiped as a goddess. For What reason, I was clueless. I did not mind these fellow people looking up to me, but i did not really understand why. One day I was met up with a man, who called himself Charles Xavier. He offered me a place on his team, and along with it, a home, a ......family.

Now here I stand in front of the one who has tried to kill me many times in The past, but has failed, because of the help of my friends. His name is Shadow King. I stand here in my moment of Darkness, as he tries to unleash the powers with in me to kill off and destroy the people I love. I won't allow it. I feel him taking over me, I can't hold on much longer. My friends aren't here now to save me, What shall I do?

He knows my weaknesses, "Aaaaahhhhhh!" I scream, as he painfully leaves my body. "You won't harm my friends" I say "I won't allow you to". He suddenly takes the form of a creature. As he comes closer, I don't know what to do. My powers are too weak now, to do anything. he has drained me of my powers. "You won't get away from me this time Storm" The Shadow King says in a very creepy and echoing voice. "I won't allow you". As he stands in front of me, he pulls me up by my hair. Hanging there helplessly, he rises me and back slaps me with his armored hand. My face is now aching with pain, as my head runs with a red liquid flowing down my body.

As I hang there, He slaps, and slaps some more. I feel weak all threw my body. My white material has now turned red. Yelling out on pain, he finally throws me to the ground. I hit the ground sudden, and fast. Red thick substance splashes all over. I notice that I'm lying in a puddle of my own blood, My mouth, throat, and hair are flooded with blood. i can barely see, I see a large shadowy figure look down upon me, "no--noooooo, st-stop it, pl-please.no more"

"I have no piety over you child" . As I lie there gushing out in agony, his huge hands grab my body, and picks me up off the ground, in mid air. He starts squeezing me, I can almost feel the bones in my body grinding. I think to my self, he may think he has the winning of this battle, but this battle to him is just a battle to kill me. But this battle to me is a battle to save my friends, and I'll do anything to save them. Even if he takes my life.

As I hang there in the grip of the palm of his hands, I draw up all my strength and energy, I let all my energy, power, anger, agony, and hate out, " Ahhhhhh I will not diiiieeee. I will not allow you to take my life away from me, You shall die shadow king, you shall diiiieeeee. Aaaahhhhhhh!!" My powers, and energy I was holding within all went loose, it came out from my power within. I was let go, and the shadow king was struck unconscious. As he lied there, I was up and ready to kill, if I saw any movement come out from him, what so ever. I was ready to destroy this creature, I wanted him to see every thing I've went threw, and feel what I have felt. I wanted him to feel my pain and sorrow, I wanted him to step in to my life of Darkness, being raised with no parents, Seeing them die before my eyes, I wanted to tear him apart, and unleash the evil, and dark side of me. I wanted him to live in a world of fire, and hatred for the rest of his life. But now I am free, I am free from the grips of this creature for the rest of my life, I wont have to feel this way any longer.
