Suck It Up, Buttercup.

My heart dropped, along with her lifeless body. She was gone.

Gone.

She was my everything. The only person I could count on. The only person I could rely only.

She's gone, and she's never coming back.

But wait.

If I'm going to survive this dump called Earth, more especially alone, I need to toughen up. Grow a backbone.

Stop being the coward I was afraid I'd become. I have to fend for myself.

No more hiding under my mother's skirt. Sure, it hurts like hell, but I have to pull through. And I know that she wouldn't want to see me cry over her. She never wanted to see me cry. I can hear her now.
"Suck It up, Buttercup."

I'm alone now. I have me, myself and I. No one is going to look after me. I have to defend myself. Fight. I have to protect myself. Eliminate anyone in my way

Sage has never had an easy life. Everything she did, she was looking out for number one. If push came to shove, she'd have to take drastic measures.

Death? She laughed in his face.

Fear? She didn't know the meaning of the word.

She did anything to get ahead.

If it meant hunting, so be it.

If it meant lying, so be it.

If it meant killing, so be it.
