Izzy stood inside her cell, looking around the place she was probably going to be staying in there for a couple days. She should have known beating up that kid would have her ending up in jail.

   Izzy slightly chucked to herself when she saw her very own name carved into the wall of the cell.

She remembered that day as if it were yesterday. It was the first time she had been arrested. She was twelve years old and she had been caught with her friends, spray painting on the side of a building. They hadn't checked her for weapons, thinking a twelve year wouldn't have a weapon. She was Izzy freakin' Blake, of course she had a weapon on her. Her foster parents wanted to make her suffer so they made her stay in the jail cell overnight, even after her friends had gotten picked up, she was still there. Izzy ended up getting bored and decided to carve her name into the wall of the cell. That night, she had even made a few adult friends. They were all drunks, but Izzy couldn't care less, she was twelve.

Her foster parents had basically forgotten she was still in the jail cell after four days and FP had to come pick her up and bring her home. She was happy about that. FP had always been like a father figure. She never had someone to be a mother figure though, that's why she ended up being so tough as she got older, but she was glad for that.

Izzy sighed, laying herself down on the lonely metal bench that was in her cell. She slowly drifted asleep, thinking about what was to come in the next few days. Was she going to be put in jail? Was she going to be tried as an adult

After all, this wasn't her first time getting arrested for assault. You could say it was her fault, but it really wasn't. She had no stable home, she had no good parental figure to look up to. Yeah, she had FP, but was a gang leader/alcoholic a stable person to look up to? Growing up as an Serpent made her tough, but it didn't form her to be the best that she could be, it brought out mostly the worst parts of her.

1 week later......

"Wake up! Time to go!" One of the deputies yelled at her, making her jolt up.
