The Dawson Girl

Growing up as the second youngest in a Lower middle class family with a strict schedule was weird. Especially if everyone around them always mysteriously feared the family.

Kat- Naming herself after her favorite fictional character: Katherine Thornfield, from her beloved sci-fi novel, knew something was off.
Her household was always quiet, yet chaotic and messy, but at the same time, so clean and put together.

Her and her siblings' lives were already preplanned for them.
They were all enrolled in martial arts and business studies at a private school.
Their parents always saying "You'll need this knowledge in the near future." And "Once you are of age, you'll be joining the family business, no exceptions!"

But Kat didn't want to. Neither did the others, but they didn't have a choice, so they gave in quite easily, while she stood her ground.

She could also never figure out how they always had just enough money, whilst her father was a ceo of a very well-known company and her mother running a business of her own.
they should be upper class.
Or why they were always training. What were they training for? And what are her father and oldest siblings carrying around guns for?

But as soon as Kat started finding out her family's dark secrets, she was ready to leave them behind. Yet before she could, a new darkness appeared and pulled her in a much different direction than she planned to - from one fighter family to another.
