Shall We Dance? - Chapter 1
Why me? Why is it always me that everything bad happens to? Why me... why am I left alone in this world... with no one there for me care for and protect, and no one to protect and care for me... this world is all full of hate and betrayal... but I ask...
"WHY ME?!" Her tear-broken voice shrilled through the harbor, but not one person was there to turn their heads and look at the source. She fell to her knees, glaring at the concrete, expecting an answer to just grow through the concrete… teardrops fell to the ground.
The dawn of day had just settled over the horizon.. with fog rolling in preventing anyone to see more than a few feet away from them. Waves rolled onto the shore, like heavy broth.. and the boats at the dock swayed in the wind. Slowly getting to her feet, Felicity wiped away her tears and sniffed.

Felicity was a wreck; her hair was messy, her shirt had a tear in the stomach, pants had holes in them, and some found it odd to see her holding a necklace... and a metal brace fastened to her left arm.
Upon reaching an alley, Felicity reached a dead end. Sighing, she sat down against the cold stonewall and closed her eyes. But suddenly, her eyes shot open, feeling a presence watching her. She then felt it move, first to the right, then north, then back. Felicity could only glare at the rooftop of the restaurant...
