Crystal (Chapter 4)

Crystal (Chapter 4)


*OUTSIDE HOUSE, ON NEAR-BY HILL*

I watched the house as it burned. I felt a wave of sadness hit me like a ton of bricks. I longed for my mom. I needed her. And it hurt to know she was dead. What to do now? Mom said to go to New York, but why? I knew no one who lived there. What would I do? How could I survive?

Without realizing it, I turned and walked toward the train station.


*1 HOUR LATER, ON TRAIN*

I took one last look at the town. Tommorow, someone will see what happened and everyone will assume we are dead. Dead. Like mom.

I started thinking. Everyone who knew me would assume I died in the fire. So, why not change my name since I really was disliking the name "Saki" right now.

Name....I needed a new name. I fingered my necklace.

Crystal....thats what mom said it was made from. Why not be called Crystal?

And so, I had a new name. Crystal. Crys for short.

I smiled and went to sleep.


*5 HOURS LATER, OUTSIDE CENTRAL STATION*

Okay. I'm in New York. Have no place to go. Now what?

As I looked around, I saw a group of kids approch me. They had knifes. Drawn.

I took off. I ran and ran and ran. I saw no escape. Then I was in the streets. Dodging people and cars. I ran for 4 more blocks when I saw a man-hole open. I zipped down the ladder and hid. No one came. Finally, I stood up. Looking around. Why not stay here?

So, I did.


*1 DAY LATER, SEWERS, DIARY ENTRY*

Still in sewers. I've been hearing people talking down here. As far as I can figure out, their names are:

I dont know who they are but maybe I can learn more. I think they live down here.


*NEXT DAY, DIARY ENTRY*

I SAW THEM!!!!

It was so weird! I was practicing chin-ups when I heard them coming. I pulled myself onto the pipes, so I wouldn't be seen.

As I watched 4 people came into view. BUT THEY WEREN'T HUMAN!!!! They were TURTLES! I was shocked!!!

Now, I want to talk to them.

But....how to meet them?
