Hazel Carter, Age 11
Hazel's POV
I talked Peggy into bringing me to the boxing place more. People are always making my life harder at school and I can't punch my way out.
I have left school a couple of times, of course I always get found. I could have outran them all but where I truly want is to be at home with Peggy.
"Hazel, your almost better then me!" Colin laughed and hit his own bag.
"That's the goal." I hit mine harder.
Barry doesn't talk to me as much, he has new smart friends. The only ones I have to talk to now is Peggy and Colin.
I hit the bag even harder.
It's my mother's fault, she hurt me and ruined my future.
I hit the bag and the bag went up higher.
'You are exactly like me Hazel. You can't run from me!' I heard my mother's nasty voice in me head.
I screamed and punched the bag so hard it broke off and hit the floor.
"Whoah there, you okay?" Colin stopped and walked towards me.
"I'm fine. I'm done for today." I ripped off the bands on my hands and walked off to the front so I can wait for Peggy.

Peggy made a simple dinner which I picked at. Of course she told me to eat and I did here and there but I just want sleep.
I got ready for bed and laid down. I still have my teddy bear. I can't sleep, I'm haunted by my mother's voice.
It's been a little while so Peggy most likely was sleeping already so since I couldn't sleep I took a step outside and on the fire escape stairwell.
I should come out here more, I could draw so much.
I closed my eyes and took in the fresh air, feeling all the anger and anxiety leaving my body. It's Just me, myself and I.
I eventually sat crisscrossed and looked up at the Stars.
"Father. I know you probably don't know I exist but you can hear me from heaven, I'm your daughter and I'm alone. I only have Peggy, of course you don't know her but she's a sweet lady, she saved me." I felt tears rolling down my face.
I don't want to be alone anymore.
"Please Save me from my loneliness." I whispered.
Just as I was going to head in, I heard a loud scream.
"HELP!" I heard a woman yell.
I wiped the tears off my face and climbed down the fire escape stairs.
"GIVE IT BACK!" She screamed and I heard tumbling sound.
I saw a man talking off with the woman's purse.
"Stay here" I yelled to her and ran after him.
He looked back to see me catching up quickly.
"YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER!" I yelled and felt the adrenaline rush. I love it.
He started pulling things from the street down so he could slow me down but I jumped and dodged every single one of them.
I caught up with him and pulled him back.
"A child? Against me?" The older man laughed.
"I may be a child but I can still kick your ass" I punched his arm and he stumbled back.
"Give it here and I'll let you go" I put my hand out but still keeping myself at a distance.
He went to try and push me back but I punched him in the stomach and he coughed.
"I spend my Wednesday's in boxing lessons, what are you doing to do?" I protected my face.
He grunted and went in to try and punch me in the face but I beat him to it and he dropped the purse.
I quickly picked it up "Thank you for your cooperation!" I gave a toothy smile and took off back down the street to return the purse.
"Here you go ma'm!" I gave her the purse.
"You are my mini hero!" She smiled.
"Mini?" I giggled.
"Well you aren't exactly big" she stated.
"You aren't wrong." I turned.
"Thank you dear." She added.
"No problem." I ran back down further and up the fire escape stairs.
Now I feel tired.
I tip toed back to my room and got into bed.
"So worth it."

Peggy's POV
"Hazel time to get up!" I opened her door.
"But it's the weekend!" Hazel complained.
"Early Bird gets the worm!" I exclaimed.
"Ugh Fine, Why am I getting up anyway?" She whined.
"Field trip." I pulled out a simple green dress.
"To where?" She sat up.
"A military camp, I have a few things to do." I laid her dress on the bed.
"But why? It's not for me is it?" Her eyes widened.
"No no, I have business to attend to and I couldn't get a babysitter." I smiled and left to get finish getting ready.
A/N Sorry about it being short, I'm trying my hardest to finish all the chapters for the first half of the book and I needed to post something so I thought Hazel could have a moment of being a hero!
