Morlocks Part 1

What Illyana and I observed was how a little boy who was hooded was stealing things from a market stall.

And I had to admit that he was very skilled.

We couldn't see his face but he seemed nervous.

After the boy got what he wanted, he quickly left the stall by going into an alley.

Following him out of curiosity, we entered the alley.

What the boy did surprise me. The little boy was climbing the walls of a building to avoid the bars and go to the other side.

Smiling, I understood that this child is a mutant.

"Papa, that boy is amazing, is he a mutant like us?" Illyana asked me quietly as she watched the boy's actions.

I nod my head and say:

"Yes Illya, he's like you. Let's follow him, okay?"

"Okay" Illyana answered.

Seeing the boy continue advancing without stopping, we followed him.

The hooded boy reached a building under construction, paused for a moment and looked around.

He opened the manhole cover, entered it and carefully closed it.

Watching him enter the sewers, I frowned.

I was getting an idea of which group the child belongs to.

When we entered the sewers, we continued to follow the boy.

We followed the boy for about ten minutes.

The boy stopped and entered a secret passage.

We also did the same and at the end of the passage I was surprised by what I saw.

This place is full of people.

It is a kind of abandoned shelter and the place looks like a small town.

Looking at the people in this place I realize that they all have physical problems such as horns on their heads, more than two arms or even different skin colors.

"Papa these people are sick, can you heal them?" little Illyana asked me with concern.

I just pat her head.

As we hide, I notice something strange. The place becomes silent.

My Spyder-Sense reacts and without hesitation I grab Illyana in my arms and jump back.

When I jumped, a large number of bone spears stuck where it had been before.

At that moment I heard a voice saying:

"Intruders, what is your reason for coming to this place?"

Looking at where the voice came from, I saw a group of people who were looking at us suspiciously.
