The White Princess

The Violence Caused Such Silence

Tonight was the night, Sebastian had told her, the night that they would go recruiting government held mutants.

"Azazel, why can't I join you?" Ella pouted, Azazel had told Ella she was not allowed to accompany them since her mother had been captured.

When Sebastian got word of Emmas capture, he was furious "It's become more personal than I had originally planned" he had said to her and Ella knew her mother held a special place in Sebastians heart and mind.

"Why can't we just get her back?" Ella had asked and Sebastian simply stroked her hair, like a father did to their daughter "My dear, your mother will get out on her own and she would rather us not put you in danger" he murmured.

Azazel had been searching for his two short swords with sharp tails "Ella, you must know why you can't join us" he said to her as he got on his knees to search under his bed "Azazel, I can be of use!" she whined as Azazel got on his feet and turned to her, holding his hands out "Where are they, Ella?" he asked her accusingly and she sighed as she placed the two weapons in his hands "You shouldn't play with these, Ella" he scolded her and Ella rolled her eyes "I'm not five, Azazel, I know how to use them" she told him and folded her arms over her chest as Azazel flicked his tail at her, a rude gesture he often used to tell her to shut up.

Ella sighed and left Azazels room to find Riptide, perhaps he'd be more reasonable, she thought as she wandered the hall ways.

"Janos!" Ella called "Janos, are you here?" she searched his room to find he was nowhere in sight and she groaned "Ella?" she whipped around, startled by the sudden voice "Janos! You scared me!" she panted, a hand on her chest "I apologize" Riptide said to her "What would you like?" he asked and Ella sighed "Can I please join you in-" "No" He interrupted her and Ella stomped her foot childishly "Janos, please!" she cried and he shook his head "No, now get out" he pointed to the door and she huffed, hating it when he treated her like a little sister "Fine" she muttered, stomping out of his room.

Ella dropped onto her bed face first and groaned, she wanted to go so badly to see the other mutants.

She never really met another mutant that wasn't a part of the Hellfire Club other than Erik and her father, she desperately wanted to know if they were as horrible as her mother and Sebastian had told her.

Ella thought of how badly she wanted to go and how unfair it was that they were keeping her from going, it was stupid, she thought, it couldn't be that dangerous she kept insisting to herself.

Ella slowly sat up as she came to the conclusion that she would follow them But what if they send Azazel to check on me? she pondered and bit her lip as another idea popped into her head.

After the mission, she would tell him she had been in the washroom when he came to check on her.

He would believe that, right? Of course he would, he respected Ella and thought of her as a little sister, why wouldn't he? she smirked at the plan forming in her head as she left to get dressed.

Darwin, Angel, Raven, Sean, Hank and Alex sat in the rec room having a decently good time.

That was until they heard 'BMF' and they all slowly stopped smiling and turned toward the large window "What was that?" Darwin asked, standing next to the pinball machine as Alex played.

The noise turned up in different ares by the minute, causing the young mutants to look toward every direction they heard it "Something doesn't feel right" Darwin thought aloud as he walked toward the window and pressed the button which caused the yellow curtains to open.
