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."

I mean, we are married then." He said taking another step forward. He suddenly grabbed me by my waist, pulling me towards him.

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

Deserve!
"I still don't understand how Dad fell for my Mom. I mean she is Indian and he is Australian. How did he?" I asked him tapping my chin. "That's the specialty of Indian women. Anyone can fall in love with them." He replied shrugging like it is the silliest question. "Do only Indian women have that specialty or even men?" I asked raising my eyebrow. "Of course!" he replied pulling me to him. "But I am unable to see anything special in you though." I mumbled to which he narrowed his eyes. "Then the problem must be in you." He mumbled back with a strong glare. "Ouch! Anyway, do you have the specialty you are saying to deserve me?" I asked him smirking. "What?" he asked with shocked face. I laughed before pushing him away and rushed towards the main gate thinking he will just catch me. However, I turned around and asked him "Do you?" with a serious tone this time. ---------- A girl who wishes that the people with whom she stays must deserve her but not because she wants to feel arrogant or superior.
