An Original??

"I suggest you change your mind really fast," I growled and tightened my grip on the man's neck. "I'm not in the best mood and I want you to hand over the keys."

The man, a rather large man at that, was terrified. Why would a man be terrified of a 16 year old girl? I was one of them. One of those cursed Aberrational. My eyes and markings gave me away... and maybe the fact that flames were resonating from my arms. "Come on! I'm giving you 5 seconds!"

I could see the fight in his eyes, but come on. He would lose this fight pretty fast if he didn't give me the keys to the lovely mustang sitting on the curb. I needed it to get the heck out of this town. Even now I seemed to feel danger all around me. Those creeps from the government could be anywhere.

"1!" I yelled and pushed his body down harder on the concrete.

His eyes roamed my arms again and I intensified the flames. They were crawling down my arm, promising to reach my hands that were wrapped around the sensitive skin on his neck.

I couldn't help but smile at his stupid bravery. "2, 3, 4." I clucked my tongue and watched his face turn red from the heat. "Guess I'll just nick 'em from ya when you're not as.. alive."

"Fine!" he gurgled and tried to reach into his pocket.

"Oh, thank you so much!" I smiled and used one hand to keep him down until I had the keys in my other hand. Leaning down, I kissed his cheek and pulled back, admiring the burned lip mark it had left. "You've been a big help."

A quick kick to the head ensured I would have time to get away. Of course, I could have done that in the first place.. but I enjoyed these exchanges. They finally put me in control of the situation.

Walking over, I smiled and stroked the car's shiny red paint, "You're a keeper." Before I got in, I went over to another car and took the license plate off, switching it with the one on the mustang. That should buy me some time.

I didn't have a drivers license.. but driving a car was nothing new to me. Driving a car as nice as this one, well that's a different story! When I had seen the guy get out of the car in a relatively inconspicuous spot, I couldn't help myself.

I've played around with the idea of making Fire and Ice an original for some time now. It's not easy since I already am so familiar with the characters. There can't be an X-Men, there can't be a school, there can't be students! I have to change EVERYTHING.

Above is a sneak peek of what I have going on in my head. Rowan is sorta a way bigger BA than before. She's pretty nasty at first actually! But yeah, that's what I'm working on from here on out.

I hope to be done writing Gone Rogue by the end of the week!

Oh, and DWAP has almost 70 reads!!!! Not bad for a week ;)

Much love to you all <3
