what the fuck is that?

BEEP BEEP BEEP

oh shit that's my alarm

Groaning I smash my hand over my alarm clock and wake up. I haven't even opened my eyes yet and I feel like today is going to be a bad day.

All I'm feeling right now is pain from last nights beating. I don't even know why I put up with it anymore.

You put up with it because you still want your mommy to love you

ugh oh shut up-

Ugh anyway, slowly rising out of my bed, meaning a small mattress in an old musty room, I am finally up for the day.

Oh wait this probably means nothing to you. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Laura Giovanna Scarlett Black. I'm 17 years old and a Senior in High School. I already graduated High School and have two Masters Degrees, but I go to school to keep my life somewhat normal. I've lived with my mother all my life.

Not accounting for the time I was with HIM.

Well, her and Adam, my asshole of a stepfather. My moth- Hannah has always hated me. The reason... I'm still not sure yet. I've never known my biological father. According to Hannah, he is a bad man. Well, if he's anything like me he can't be too bad. right?

I live in a shitty one story house. It's covered in drugs, alcohol bottles, and blood. My blood to be exact. Hannah has always been abusive. For the longest time I didn't know any better, but as I grew older I understood what she does is wrong.

I've raised myself. Taught myself how to cook, how to clean, different languages, and most importantly how to be successful. I am a street fighter named Scar. It comes from one of my middle names Scarlett.

obviously

will you ever shut up?

no

Where was I? Oh right, I chose Scar because one I'm covered in scars but mainly because when I get into the ring I want blood. Scarlett is a shade of red. So are my opponents after I'm done with them.

evil laugh

I'm also a street racer. I absolutely love cars and bikes. The speed and the adrenaline rush is one of the few things I live for. During these races I also use the name Scar.

However, I use the name Alecto for when I'm on missions as an assassin. Why two different names? Because it's harder to figure out who I am. Many people want me dead, but very few know who I am. Those people are Jason, Ashton, and Noah. I met them when I was 10 years old. We'll get into that later.

So yes, I am a street fighter. street racer, and assassin. I'm also the CEO of a luxury Hotel and Club chain called "Lux"
