The park was empty and I was alone. I was always alone, even when I was with people I was alone. I felt a tear escape my eye and trail down my cheek. I held so much resentment in my heart, resentment for the men who took my family from me and left me to die, resentment for my parents for putting me in this situation, resentment for myself for letting the hate control so much of my life. I angrily wiped the traitor tears off my face. I let out a bitter laugh, I know I am being pathetic. 
"You know it really isn't safe for a girl such as yourself to be outside at this time of night." I jumped as I heard a masculine voice say.
 I shot up off the swing and faced the source of the voice. It was too dark where he was standing to make out what he looked like. A girl like me shouldn't be outside at this time? What, a girl who spends most her time in gyms and self-defense classes learning how to beat the crap out of anyone and everyone.
My temper flared, "A girl like me? What the hell is that even supposed to mean? Don't tell me what is and isn't safe for me because if I wanted to I could snap your neck like a freaking twig and not think twice about it."
