She's just a teenager who wants to have a normal life but it looks like she herself is not normal. She thought life would be 'okay' even though she had powers but living at where she is, she knew she did not fit in with the world she is in. Her life is at its worst not until a guy comes into her life and this guy is not like the others; he's coldhearted. Will she ever find the 'normal' life she is looking for when she meets this guy or will he make her life the worst? Will she ever find a place where she really belong?
First of all, I am not a normal person. I am very much different from everyone else. I have a secret that you won't believe. My parents knew nothing about it but they abused me.
At a young age, they let me work every day that an ordinary child could not afford to do like for example, lifting several dams of water all day, do a mountain load of laundry only using my bare hands, to clean a 2-storey house and make sure that every corner of it is spic and span and many other heavy house works.
They used to wonder why I could finish my work right away because I already told you, they didn't know about this secret.
Of course, there are also times when I don't finish my work and because the work is a heavy one, the punishment is also heavy so you will never see me without bruises on any parts of my body.
The reason why they do this to me... I'm adopted. At first I didn't really know about it but since I found out, they abused me even more.
I'm just really asking myself, if they are going to abuse me like this, why did they take me in the first place? Just to have fun doing it? Or is it just in their blood to torture people? Why don't they just kill me?
...but everything turned upside down.
One day, I ran out of patience so I vented all my anger and hatred towards them. I couldn't control myself so I ended up killing them. I just went back to reality when I saw their lifeless bodies on the floor. Full of fear, I stared at my hands full of blood. I didn't know I could do this. Fortunately, no one saw what happened because it happened inside the house but I was so scared that I ran away from the house to the forest. There I built my own house and lived by myself.
We know it's very dangerous here but I'm happy. No one will know about this power and I will not hurt anyone else.
What is the use of this power in the world I live in anyways? Do I really belong here?
Is this MY NATION?

"Then let us feast," he said, and in a flash, the ribbon fell away, exposing his rock-hard length.
