Ever since I was little I knew something was wrong with my family. It was just my mom and myself, I didn't have a dad growing up. The younger kids tormented me for it, along with having the unusual hair color of half black and silver hair. I was nice once, a normal happy girl but very quickly I realized how cruel people could be.

~~~

I had just turned five today and mommy gave a new stuff bear. She said that it used to be Daddy's when he was very little. I didn't know my Daddy but Mommy said it was okay, that Daddy still loved me. I believe Mommy when she says that but I still wanna meet Daddy.

Mommy had also told me that Daddy was a ninja just like her. When I told Mommy that I wanted to be a ninja too Mommy chuckled and said she would teach me when I was older. She also gave me her old ninja headband. It looked plain but when I saw my reflection behind the leaf in the middle my heart raced. Now I proudly wore it around my head as a headband to pull my hair back.

Suddenly something smacked into my head. "Ow!" I cry out and held my head with tears in my eyes. I looked down and saw a rock with a red substance on it, and my head felt sticky where it hurts.

"Hey, freak!" I heard a yell. I looked up and saw three children my age, two boys and one girl. The boy with brown hair spoke, a mean smile pulling on his face. "What do you got there?" He asked.

I frowned and stepped back holding my teddy close to my body. The other boy, who had blonde hair, grabbed the leg of my teddy and pulled it from my hands. "Hey!" I called out while he laughed, and held it away from me. As I reached forward to grab it back the brown haired boy stuck his foot out and tripped me.

I fell and hit the ground, the dirt floor stinging my hands. My new dress got dirty with red liquid and brown dirt. I groaned and tried to push myself up but the girl grabbed my silver hair and pulled me up. "Ew, your hairs all sticky and red. Makes you look like even more of a freak with your silver hair." She said to me wth disgust.

I closed my eyes in pain, tears threatening to fall put of the corners. "Hey, what's wrong with this teddy? It has only one eye, and a sharp weapon its hand." The brown haired boy said.

I opened my eyes to see the two boys beside each other. "I know right, it's weird just like the freak." He said.

I reached out, "No! I got that from my Daddy!" I yelled. The two boys looked up at me, then the brown haired one smiled.

"Oh really? I thought you had no Daddy, it was just you and your mommy." He said the mean smile on his face again.

"Mommy said that it was Daddy's," I explained quietly. The boy's smile became cruel.

"So what if I did this?" The boy asked and pulled on the arm of the teddy. A loud tearing sound came from it.

"No! Don't!" I screamed, the tears spilling. The girl pulled be back by my hair, making my head hurt more.

Both boys grinned and pulled together, a loud rip and the arms were torn off the teddy's body. I watched with tears falling from my eyes as my Daddy's teddy fell to the ground, its arms in both of the boy's hands. All three children laughed at me as I fell back, sitting on the ground helplessly. I stared at my teddy with devastation ripping through my heart. They destroyed my teddy, ripping his arms right off his body. That was my teddy... my Daddy's teddy. The only thing that I had from my Daddy, and they ruined it.... THEY RUINED IT!

I felt my eyes burn as something in me snapped. Out of my left eye, everything felt like it was moving slower than normal. I could quickly see any small movements around me. Out of my right eye, everything turned blue; I could see right inside the boys in front of me. Their hearts beating, their bones, their joints and mussels, I could see it all. Anger burned in my chest and I stood up, pivoting on my foot and side kicking the girl who pulled my air. Everything moved in slow motion as I watched the bones in her arms snap before she was thrown to the side. I turned back to the boys, when they looked at me I saw fear. I didn't care, the kind and nice part of my heart had frozen over partially. I felt myself building walls up, cause I knew now. People were cruel, especially towards those who were different. I grinned maliciously as I walked towards the boys, laughing when they both cowered.
