Pretty Little Fighter Girl
Secrets. Those dirty little things that we all have and hide. Those are the things that we conceal within ourselves, hiding who we are and what we have gone through.

Some people may not believe that there is hope for the old Celeste, yet that doesn't matter for some of those that care deeply about her. With her kidnapper still lurking in the shadows, Celeste feels that the only way to protect those that she cares for is to push them away from her. She fights for the fear that follows her and the hope of self defense. She fights for her family and the lost friends that she's nearly forgotten. She fights for her future and the protection of her secrets. Those secrets create who we are and who we are destined to become. They shape us. We are who we are only with them. This creates who Celeste is now, a mix of pain, strength, and hope. Some people believe that this makes her the Pretty Little Fighter Girl that she is today. Most people would have never expected this of her... Would you?Concluida
