Hayden POV
Logan let go of me, he crossed his arms, as if say well?
I leaned against a tree crossing my own arms crossing my ankles as I leaned against the tree, closing my eyes,
Thinking about what on earth I should say first,
"Where do I even begin," I said in a dry voice
Not sarcastically or angry, just a dull dry tone,
"It's always best to start at the beginning," He said with a chuckle,
I chuckled dully,
"I guess I should start with my family..." I said
"Before I was five everything was great, I had a warm bed to sleep in, loving parents, food to keep me full..." I said
"But that changed?" He asked in a gruff voice I just guess that's Logan's way of talking not to be mean or harsh that's just him,
I nodded,
"Yeah, when my abilities started, I could shape shift into only smaller animals, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, small insects, reptiles, birds, never hurt, I could even talk to them," I said smiling small thinking at the thought,
"I was happy, I kept it secret because I knew how my family felt about mutants," I said
I looked at Logan, he was paying attention intently,
"But all that changed when I turned five," I said
"Sometimes I couldn't control it, especially when I was scared or upset," I said closing my eyes remembering the day they kicked me out,
"It was umm, a special occasion we were celebrating," I said
So it was my birthday, but I'm not telling him that, I thought
"I was so excited, so happy, we were all out side, and I transformed," I said my eyes still closed,
"Jeez what happened?" He asked
"They freaked out, called me all sorts of colorful names and kicked me out, I was on my own," I said
"There were two things I learned that day, if your own family can't love you for who you are, you are not worth loving at all, two... you can't trust nobody but yourself," I said looking Logan straight in the eyes,
"Hayden.." He began,
I cleared my throat,
"Then a few months on my own, I stayed in forests wooded areas, a man approached me, told me he could help me control my gift, after months and months of him finding me and earning my trust I took him up on his offer," I said
I closed my eyes, remembering everything,
"Learned what a grave mistake that was," I said
"Did this man have a name?" Logan asked
I nodded,
"William Stryker" I said
Logan's eyes got wide,
I didn't care,
"He experimented on me, so that I could shift into larger and more powerful creatures, and every time it hurt," I said
"In my wolf shape I ran, I was hunted for months, years maybe I can't remember, but one thing I do know, is I can't trust anybody," I said glaring at him,
"Now you know," I said standing straight up and walking past him,
But he grabbed my wrist,
"Hayden not everyone here understands what you went through, but I do," He said
"Do you?" I said glaring at him,
"Yes," He said
His claws came out, they were metal,
"These used to be bone until Stryker experimented on me," He said
My eyes widen,
"So I do understand," He said
Then I did finally realize he does understand, he understands everything, I thought
