*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?
Part 5 up soon.
