Panic overwhelms me as I try to outrun the beast behind me. There's no where to go...no where to hide.....not even a small cave where only I can fit inside. I run feeling the wind whisp past me, my body feels as if im floating. Suddenly the beast that was behind me appeared in front of me showing off his sharp teeth taking a chunk of my neck off. Blood poured from the wound as everything went black. Screaming I woke ...my nightmare was over. I wake up in a puddle of sweat dripping from my body.

"What the hell?" I think out loud..Finally getting the courage to get out of bed, I walk towards the bathroom. As I step into the shower, I let the hot water soothe all my panicking thoughts away. I love hot showers it seems as if there the only place I can truly relax at.

My name is Naveen Hawkeens, I am 17 years old with caramel brown skin and a Dancer. Im 5'7 with long black hair and well developed for my age. I try my hardest to stay unseen from people but it's kind of hard to miss me. I live in a very small, dangerous place in Wisconsin.

Climbing out the shower I throw my some light skinny jeans, cranberry bearpaws and my thug little mermaid crewneck. As I made my way downstairs I heard the screams and cries of my mother. Rushing into the living room, I see my stepfather towering over her. Rage filled my body as I sprinted my way towards him only to be pushed back by my mother.

"What are you doing Naveen"? She yelled at me "How dare you attempt to put your hands on him!?"

Saying nothing I grabbed my backpack, hopped into my car and headed to school. How can she be so stupid? How do you sit there and let a man beat on you and your only child? Ryan has been around since I was 12 years old and has been nothing but a bad nightmare ever since my mother fell in love with the prick things never been the same. As I pull up to the school, I notice this is my last day here before graduation. Suddenly my spirits became lifted as I parked in the student parking lot.

The day dragged on which seemed like forever, lunch finally came. I ate lunch outside ontop of my car like I usually do when Lyric and his dumb friends came in the student parking rolling up before class. Everyone here love Lyric is a typical mean asshole plus his older brother is one of the biggest druglords Wisconsin has ever seen. He's 6'4 with black curly hair, caramel-light complexion and of course because of his older brother he's the crispest boy around.

His friend Donald walks over to me.

"Hey Veen" He said licking his lips walking towards my car.

"What do you want Donald?" I asked him rolling my eyes and crossing my arms across my chest. He began trying to flirt with me and eventually I just ignored him until he started cussing at me. I hopped of my car throwing away my lunch finding my appetite ruined by Donald.

The rest of the day I stayed with my only friend Victoria.

"Can we go over my boyfriend house please?" she winced pleading me.

"Sure Vicky" I said rolling my eyes. Victoria knows I don't care for her boyfriend Chris at all. He's one of those wannabe drug dealers that works for Lyric's brother,Marco. Soon we pull up infront of a simple white house. As we get out I can hear the music already blasting from the house.

"Maybe I should just sit and wait in the car" I said sighing.

"Oh can you stop being a baby and come on....I would stay alone but.. I don't know who over here Just stay please Veen?" she said in a puppy dog voice.

Sighing I walked up to the doorstep with her. Vicky walked inside and I followed not to far behind when I noticed Lyric sitting on the couch.

"I'll be back down in a few " says vicky with a huge grin on her face.

With no where else to go I sat down on the couch a couple of cushions away from Lyric. We sat in awkward silence for almost fifteen minutes until finally Marco bursts into the door holding some man. The man was half beaten as Marco took him the basement.

"Come down here and help me and bring the girl to!" yelled Marco at Lyric

Marco entire demeanor was cruel, you can see it in his eyes that he had no goodness left within him.. if it didn't benefit him from making money then he doesn't care.

Sighing Lyric relunctantly got up, "You coming or what?" he asked nonchalantly

I cautiously got up and followed him down into the basement. Marco had tied the man up already before we even got in the room.

"Where Chris at Ric?" Marco says coldly

"He upstairs with his girl, what you need ?" he says not caring really

Marco chuckles, " Well looks like yo bitch ass finally get to become tuff", he hands Lyric a gun " Kill Em"

"What?... I'm not killing anybody, I'm not you, I don't do this shit!" says Lyric tossing the gun to the side of him.

Without hesitating Marco grabbed him up by his throat. I felt a scared shriek escape my throat as Marco chocked Lyric right infront of me. Panicking I grabbed a bottle next to the tied up man and hit Marco in the head with it. Marco body goes limp as he falls to the ground. Lyric eyes rage as he looked at me.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Do you realize who he is,he could kill you!" His body tense up as he walked up to me yelling in my face. Scared, I slowly backed up and ran upstairs.

" Vicky I got to go" I yelled upstairs as I rushed out the house, she brushed it off and just told me to go.
