Hi, I guess this is my story, umm I hope you like it and all that and please if someone reads this tell me all my mistakes cause I suck at proofreading. Thanks for reading if you do!

Katie was always a little different, she never flirted with the boys or gossiped like the other girls and she was always quiet and studious, hiding in the back of the classroom messing around with her phone. School was too easy, day in day out she already knew most of this crap. The only thing she looked forward too at school was going home, she would get home see her brother Matt and her parents, her dad usually working on whatever cat he was tricking out with Matt and her mother working in the living room talking with them through a video chat. Everything changed too fast. One night Matt and her father were going out to a small town called Kerberos to gather parts for the newest car they were working on when they got shoved into a dark alley and got a bullet in the skull of their struggles. The muggers took everything, and left them in a back alley to waste away. The day when she heard the news something in Katie snapped. She didn't show up at school and never told her mom, she poured all her attention into hacking, hoping she'll be able to catch who the muggers were. She trained with a small dagger, working on how she would slowly kill them, so she could show them all the pain she felt when they took almost everything from her. She became a new person, cold and uncaring she didn't care about school and would skip class to steal money from peoples lockers. She spent the whole year like this, amassing money, learning new ways to kill, becoming hard and untrusting. She never spoke to her mom, and when she did it was short one syllable answers. Then her life took another turn for worse, her mom killed herself right in front of Katie. Even though she never talked to her mom she suddenly remember every single bit of love and care her mother gave to her and all the emotion came flooding back. She slowly sobbed over the body. She continued for about 30 minutes until she had no more tears to shed. Then she started packing anything with sellable value and any money around the house as well as the banking documents, credit cards, and her laptop and phone and left without anymore words.

The next day she went to the bank and several pawn stores and put all the money in an account.

The only things she bought with all the newfound money was a tent, water, sleeping bag, and food then set out to find someplace with a roof to stay under.

After what seemed like ages of walking Katie sat down under a bridge on the outskirts of town in her tent as it started to rain. She was working on her hacking skills when it started raining and she silently cursed the weatherman for saying it would be a clear night, then started turning in for bed. Later while she was sleeping a shadow creeped around outside her tent and slowly moved towards the entrance. The silhouette simultaneously pulled out a knife and opened the tent. He clamped a hand to her mouth, placed the knife to her throat and asked "what are you doing here?"

He slowly moved around so she could see him, all without taking the knife away from her neck and slowly started removing his hand, making sure she wouldn't start screaming. What she saw was a plain man around 17 or 18 with a long black mullet, pale white and deep purpley blue eyes. Katie then secretly started grabbing her knife while slowly replying "None of your business loser, what are you doing sneaking into young girls tents at night, people are gonna think you're some kind of perv." she paused "You're not a perv right?"

He looked at her with pure annoyance on his face while snipping, "I'm not a perv you little bitch! Also you can stop drawing that knife I guarantee my knife will be through your throat before you can even think about pulling it all the way out."

She froze and dropped the knife back in her pocket, "Now I'm gonna ask you again, why are you here?"

"I'm just trying to relax, can't a girl go camping every once in a while?" She snapped.

He sneered "Ok, I know you're not camping cause if you were it'd be in some forest or pretty lake or some other place fit for a girl like you, not under a bridge in the outside of some hick town but I figure you won't tell me anymore so let's just pretend I believe you."

"At least you're not a total idiot" she scoffed, "So what's your name mullet?"

"None of your business ginger, just stay away from this bridge ok, it's my turf."

"Ginger!" she yelled then as if she put on a mask of calm she said, "Wow, turf, what is this animal planet, I ain't moving until I'm dead so learn to deal or pack your ass up and get out."

By now mullet had sat down across from her and let his guard down enough that he didn't even notice when Katie pulled her knife and aimed it right at his creamy white neck. "Actually you know what, leave now or I'll rip your throat to shreds and haul your dead ass into the river myself!"

"You really think you can do that sweetheart? And in a flash his own rusty knife was at her throat. "It seems we're at an impasse so let's just call it this, you can stay on the other side of the river and never talk to me again or we can both go to hell together, how's that sound?"

She made a face at the man and slowly lowered her knife while replying with "Fine, but don't expect me to loan you a cup of sugar or any of that crap."

He grinned and dropped his knife too, "I don't want to be a pain but get the hell off my side"

She grumbled and started packing her things, only turning her back once he left her tent.
