     The cold fan blowing on my skin leaving tiny goose bumps making parts of my arm feel numb, I sat there on my bedroom chair spinning around the chair a few times, the sun slightly glowing though my window and the birds chirping I knew i was going to have to packing soon.

     It has been a long processes of trying to get into the military, so many goddamn papers, so many people delivering stuff I need at my house, and the early boot camp they had me do. While I held my phone in my left hand and packed with the other I looked back and fourth of the list I made of 'Things To Take To The Military', (My uniform, hair brush, my boots and 2 other pair of shoes I like, my medication for my asthma and... my mask) I've been wear my mask out in public to hide my identity from others.

     I knew I only had 7 more hours to get ready and leave, so i hopped into the shower washing my hair first then my body then shaving. after my 20 minute shower I then put on a blue sweater and some blue ripped jeans with my old converse and as i headed out my room to keeping packing I moved over to under my bed to see if anything was under there, all there where was dust, more dust, an old pair of my jean and an old photo of me.. back to when I was 13.. I miss being 13, back before my mom and dad where still together.

 And as i was zoning out about teenage years I get a trauma flashback to when my mother left me at home with her boyfriend after my mom and dad broke up

*-8 YEARS AGO-*

???: Hey, your mom just left you want to help me go make my bed sweetie? 

*he said with a snarky tone looking Raven up and down biting his lip for a second...*

Raven: Sure! Am sorry I didn't get your name from before, Am Raven! and you are?

David: Oh! am David your moms boyfriend, And raven is such a pretty name she'll be gone for a while so that gives us time~.

     (As David walked Raven into his and her moms bedroom he closes and locks the door behind him, walking up slow to raven helping her onto the edge of the bed moving his hand near her thigh slowly moving it up her inner thigh, As Raven felt her stomach sink in as she new she couldn't do anything she sat there in fear knowing she had no power over hi she was small            con-paired to him as Raven tried to leave he stopped her pulling her wrist back to the bed then pinning her to the bed roughly ripping her clothing off her as she screamed for help as everything then became blur to her snapping her back to reality...)

*-Now-*

As I zone out into a blur and my breathing getting faster every second I hear a knock at my door and it my mother "hey honey your leaving in 4 hours please hurry so you can say goodbye to your family." my mother said with a bright smile on her face. AS she left closing the door behind her I catch my breath shoving the photo of me into my bag zipping it up looking around my empty room. After leaving my empty room I walked down stairs seeing a room full of family and friends, the room gave off sad vibes something i cant handle to I gave everyone quick hugs until i got to my moms boyfriend, I looked at him truing back around saying "Am ready to leave" I could tell my mom was pissed I didn't say goodbye to David, I walk out the house waving goodbye to the family and friends before pack my SUV car with my suit-cases.

     Driving to the military base was far it was a 7 hours drive and as I looked back to the location name of the base it said 'Task Force 141' as I looked back at the road I knew it was going to be a long drive. Looking back on my past gave me fear and joy, on my 6th birthday I got my first doctor custom, I've always wanted to become a doctor but when I turned 9 my mom put me in Ju-Ji-Su for the first time, I was a secret talent I had but never knew. I was good at fighting and defending myself next thing you new I became the house hold super hero. From then on I knew I wanted to help people, so turning 18 I finished honors high-school with an GPA of 4.0 and then signing up for online collage, and joining the TF141 to put my ability to use, and to get my collage paid for so I don't go into dept, and from that day...
