So I wrote this after seeing one too many Clare got raped fics, and although there are some that are really good I just cant get behind Clare being helpless. She is badass at least in my opinion and I wanted to write a little something dedicated to her badassness.

I do not own Degrassi

I was walking home from the Dot when suddenly I hear my steps being echoed. I become alert and start surveying my surroundings. It's still light out but there are barely any people out. The cold October weather pushing them to the many cafés and shops or to their homes, leaving the streets close to abandoned. I take out my compact, pretending to check myself and discreetly checking behind me.

There's only one, he looks normal, not someone you would notice, then I notice a second person walking a few feet behind the guy across the street. I smirk; well this will be interesting I think silently chuckling to myself. They are sloppy and predictable. I check my watch. I have an hour before Eli is picking me up, plenty of time for a distraction.

I pick up my pace and smirk when the foot steps behind me sped up too. I caught a figure moving from my peripheral, this is too easy.

On the out side I may look harmless but lately I have been taking mixed martial arts classes. The therapist my mom sent me to thought it would be a positive way to let my anger out and deal with the stress from the divorce. She was both right and wrong, sure it kept me from doing something stupid like cutting or trying to get Eli to sleep with me before I was ready to get back at them, but it made me a bit of an adrenaline junkie.

Don't get me wrong I don't go out and look for trouble but whenever it finds me, I get a little excited. I know I'm not invincible, and eventually trouble will win if I let it get to far, but I know better. I'm not as helpless as people make me out to be, and I'm not Darcy. Everyone thinks, hell maybe even wants me to end up being just like her. That I'll get raped or some thing just as horrible then go down hill, but I'm not her, I'm sure I'll make mistakes but I hope they're mine not anyone else's.

I'm almost home darn it, I guess I'll get my adrenaline going with Eli, better that way I guess, maybe even safer. Suddenly I feel someone close behind me damn I let them get close guess I will get my fun today. I smirk and turn into an ally. It's dark, perfect. I wait for them to come closer. They look around and can't see me, pathetic I'm even wearing bright colors, this will be cake.

I come up behind the one that was across the street. "Boo!" I whisper in my best creepy voice. He turns around swinging I easily dodge. His partner looks at him weirdly and comes closer to me. I pull his hair roughly. He turns around frantically trying to see me. I begin to cackle, I've got these amateurs freaked out really quickly. I rattle a few trash can lids and throw a few rocks in different directions for good measure.

Frazzled they flee the scene. I sigh and walk out of the ally, that wasn't quite as satisfying as I hoped it would be, but it was a start. Eli could always help get me off later. As if on cue a familiar hearse pulled up next to me. Already my heart was beating faster and my body tensing in anticipation. I smiled as he stopped the hearse and engulfed me in a hug. He kissed me quickly and led me to the passenger seat and we set off on another adventure.

Well there you go. It might have been a little OOC but who knows what could go on in her head that even the writers dont know about. Anyways it was fun writing this and I hope you enjoyed reading it.

Please review ^/^ it makes my day.
