Hey y'all! I decided this will be one of the stories that I'm keeping because of you guys! I've had a couple of people who absolutely had to have more of this so here it is!

Outside it was strangely quiet as the sun started to slink behind the mountains, casting bright pinks and golds across the sky. As I walked down the outer limits of Tulsa all I could do was scowl at the ground and trying to cover my limp.

"Hey look! It's Mich everybody!" I heard someone shout behind me. Even though I knew they were calling for me I kept walking.

"Mich! Stop it, come back here and talk to us!" This time it was a new voice, it was one that sounded weak, and like they had been crying for a while.

Getting annoyed with my stalkers I decided to stop.

"Finally Mich! You've been gone a week with no word. Your dad thinks your dead and Mike thinks that this is all his fault!" I could hear that voice clearly now and I was able to decipher the fact that it was Justin. I could hear him coming closer to me, but not realizing how close he was I flinched when he touched my shoulder. Taking a deep breath I frowned and before I could answer I turned around and my found his face real quick.

"Son of a-Michelle- what do you think you're doing?" Justin yelled covering his face and reaching for his back pocket where I knew he had hid his blade.

"I don't have time for you," I sighed before walking towards my house in the slums.

"Michelle don't you dare go anywhere when I'm talking to you!" I must have hit a note there. Rarely does Justin ever get mad at someone to an extent were you could hear it in his voice.

"I'll go where ever I please when-ever I please Winston!" I snarled coming face to face with an irate Justin.

I took my hand and ran it through my recently short blonde hair. It was short, shorter then what most girls wore their hair but it's not as if I really had a choice of what happened to it.

"It's your hair or your life."

I looked up at Justin who seemed to have started to talk at one point. "And you must have been scared the whole time you were gone then. Afraid of being killed? I bet you even cried at night because you didn't have your big scary dad to protect you!" Justin kept ranting on about how he thought I was acting when I was gone.

"You have no clue Winston!" I said grinning as I clenched a fist

"Come'n Justin, you know she won't punch you. That's what made her leave in the first place"

"Punch me Shepard. You want to show the others that you're not a wimp right?"

Silently I pulled my fist back and I swiftly punched him. As he stumbled backwards he looked up to me with shock before pulling the blade out of his pocket and running at me.

I quickly dodged to the left trying to stay out of the way of the blade, when he rounded back around I felt pain sear through my arm as he the metal sliced through the skin as if it were paper. As he did this I kicked at him to get him away from me causing him to fall to the ground.

"You are going to pay for this Shepard!" Justin growled from his spot on the ground.

"Well sorry to disappoint you, I mean since I am a wimp and all, but this is what you get when you mess with a Shepard." With that I turned around and started walking towards my house.

"Wow, Justin she really pulled a number on you!" I heard Daniel laugh.

"I never knew she had it in her!" Ty said barely loud enough for me to hear him.

"And she is as good as dead if I see her again!" I heard Justin yell after me as I kept walking.
