Walking through a dark alley after a night of partying, the teenage bunny hugged herself against the cold and rain as she hurried home. Her peaceful trek didn't remain so. As she neared the middle of the alley, a figure stepped out of the darkness and forced her up against the wall, a 1911 under her neck. She blinked out of fear, surprise and disbelief. As he slowly played with her, announcing all he had in store for his little prize, she trembled. But he became preoccupied with talking and made the mistake of lowering the gun and stepping back. Believing his prey was terrified, he even turned his back, but then out of desperation, she lunged for the gun. Seemingly on it's own, her hand grabbed the gun and wrenched it out of his loose grip. Before he could react, she had the gun pointed with one hand at his body and pulled the trigger repeatedly, emptying nearly three fourths of the clip before she came to her senses. In shock, she stepped back against the wall and slid down onto her knees, unable to process that she had just killed someone. That she didn't just take his life, but snuffed out everything he was and would be, and any future children he might have had. The gunshots had scared the surroundings residents and it wasn't long before police were everywhere. The police found her, still kneeling with her back against the wall, gun in hand with blood dripping on down her arm. One got close enough to take the gun from her, and without even comprehending what was going on, she was handcuffed and placed in the back of one of the squad cars. Two weeks later during her murder trial, evidence had been submitted the deceased had been part of a gang who's MO was rape and murder. The jury found her non guilty, acting on self defense. But the judge decreed she was to submit to weekly psychological evaluations for three months after.

She was never the same after.
