I raised my head up high and squared my shoulders. Everyone stared. I was like a prey. They were the predators. But I wasn't going to bow down today, I wasn't going to get ripped apart. We weren't going to be ripped apart anymore.
"I am a woman." I started.
"I am a woman. Give me a broom and your house will be clean. Give me ingredients and your stomach will bless me. But get me an education and I'll give you a disciplined generation."
"You already have everything you want!" A masculine voice stood up and roared. "You women don't appreciate the rights you have! You-" I interrupted him, "If us women don't appreciate something, then that's being fooled. And that's certainly what we're being made of in the name of freedom."

The Street Fighter *Original Version*
BEWARE, this is the very bad version I wrote when I was 15 years old but I did rewrite it now that I'm 20 and I promise that one makes much more sense! New version is called At All Costs you can find it on my profile! What I see in the mirror is nothing special. I see a girl with dark brown almost black hair, with brown eyes that have been dull for years. I sigh and raise my shirt so I can see the bruises from my opponent last night. If you haven't guessed yet I am a street fighter and a good one at that. I fight in a place called The Underground where my manager Smith sets up my fights. Although I'm only 5'3, I still only fight with men. For me that means more money that I win. Did I mention I am undefeated at The Underground? No, well I am and almost everyone places their bets on me. Or should I say placed because me and my family are moving across the country to New York which means I have to find a new place to fight and make money. That was really my only problem with moving because I don't have any friends here, it's not like people haven't tried I just don't like getting to close to people. Although my family still doesn't know about my street fighting, we still are very close after what happened with my father. They left but I know they will come back and finish what they started and that's why I started street fighting. I need to be able to protect me and my family when they do come back. I'm not letting my family get hurt this time.Complete

Their True Love✔️
"Go straight at the end of right side you will see a red and black car, at the back of the car you will find something." It was from that unknown number. I slowly walked straight and when I saw red and black car i went toward the car's back with slow steps. When I reached there no one was there not even anything. Then i heard a voice, after hearing it I stood frozen on my spot. I started shivering hearing that voice. I gulped and slowly turned around, my eyes widened with shock and fear seeing that person. "Hello my princess! Long time no see," That person said with a smirk on their face. No no no this can't happen. No this cannot happen. He can't be here. He can't come back. My whole body was shivering seeing him standing in front of me. I felt tears one by one slip from my eyes. "Missed me didn't you? Even I missed you alot princess," He said taking a step closer to me. "No, No do-don't co-come near m-me," I said shivering. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Started: 27/May/2020 Ended: 28/June/2021.Complete
