�What now, bitch? You tried to take this, didn�t you?� He held up a piece of meat, almost stale and gathering dirt from his grubby fingers. I hadn�t eaten for a week now
I growled, and gathered my bit of strength and threw my weight on him. He cursed. �Well, you tried to take something from me, so now I will take something from you!� he threw me roughly to the damp ground. My grey eyes widened as I grasped the full meaning of his words. I struggled blindly, determined this wasn�t going to happen.
He slammed his fist onto my collar bone. I could feel the bone crack and snap because of the pressure. I felt the mass tear through my skin in an agonizing slow motion. I screamed in pain. It hurt like all hell.
He laughed and licked his lips. I looked at his empty eyes through oceans of cold tears. I grit my teeth, as he struggled to unzip his pants. I used my undamaged hand, and something happened. In all my rage, my hand started to glow an almost holy light. I could feel the power surge through my broken body and mind. It poured from my ravaged soul, and formed into this light, this weapon I didn�t know I had.
His face was uglier now than before. I threw the blindingly hot ball at him, and as his flesh started to burn, I pushed his fat body off of mine. The alleyway filled with the smell of burnt flesh. I didn�t look back as I ran, totally drained into the night.
The blood was pouring off my shoulder and numerous scratches on my body like a waterfall. I cried tears of anguish and hopelessness. After all that, I was sure I was going to die.

I awoke sweating, the horrible memories washing over my mind, consuming it like a mass fire. Ragged breaths heaved from out of my chest. I looked around quickly, still not sure if I was awake. I was alive�thanks to Grasshopper.
I grit my teeth in anger. This should have never even came close to happening. I just wasn�t strong enough to defend myself. I stumbled blindly across the grove, my home. My eyes weren�t that well in the dark. Food�I need food. When was the last I had eaten? I don�t remember.
The ground floated and swirled away from me as I walked�somewhere. Why was the freakin ground moving so much? I grasped my head, fighting a new wave of dizziness. Unconsciously, I found myself in front of a cave. I know this is Grasshopper�s cave, somewhere in the depth of my mind, just I choose not to acknowledge it at my current state.
It was so cold. The fillings in my teeth throbbed as I searched for warmth. I closed my eyes, and felt with my mind. I don�t know how I can do this, I just know every time I need something with all my soul, a strange power takes over my body. I shiver at the memory of the rapist, I am not sure if it is because of the cold or the repulsiveness.
My feet drag as my head slips into the clouds, I am not sure I can deal with the terrible pain. I find my destination, and slump into warm, muscled arms. I seem to be doing that sort of thing a lot lately.
