The Vigilante

Chapter 3 - Taking charge of my life - How it changed

I hope you like the story so far! I am sorry for the previous short chapter, it had to be this way! Let me know how you like this one!

--------------------------------------

I am an intelligent teenager that plays dumb at school, and in every other area of my life, not to be noticed.

I quickly learned in life that being smart meant being different. And that being different meant a few slaps here and there, ignorance from those I used to trust and mostly, it meant being bullied in school because I was the poor and dirty brown nose know-it-all.

But right now, I needed to use my brain to make sure I wouldn't be caught.

Because for what I had decided to do, I needed to be free.

I was going to be the one defending the others, that were like me.

I was going to be the Justice.

The police came, and left. My foster mother had been called from work by them because I was too distraught by what had happened.

I could have swear that she had been relieved by the death of her husband. Of course, if he couldn't abuse of the children under his care, he couldn't abuse of her either.

She even lied for me. I told the officers that he had called me in his room and that after a few he had tried to assault me, I found the knife he was hiding under his pillow and I had to defend myself.

She knew her husband didn't hide a knife there. But as soon a the police asked her about it, she said that yes, her husband was in the habit of keeping a knife there, for protection.

Of course, the bruises I was sporting on my face, chest and back made my story believable. And so was her own, hidden and unknown to me,under make up.

I was taken to another foster care family, that night. I didn't stay with them long, despite them bring the nicest couple I had met in a while. Teachers, they really cared for the kids that were passing through their life.

But it was to late for me. As soon as the case of my now dead foster dad was closed, I disappeared.
