Killer Turtles!

So Lana, Mari, and this guy... were walking around the crappy excuse for a pond. "I want a turtle!" Lana excalaimed.  The guy laughed said "Look there is one over there!". Lana ran to it and kneeled down in front of it. "Oh! Its so cute!" she said, unaware of the giant turtle that was creeping up in the water.  The giant turtle came up, with no mercy, he swollowed the three teenagers up.

They were in the belly of the beast. Mari held lana by the shirt. "Look what you did now! You got us eaten! How do you expect we are gonna get out of this one?!", She shouted. Lana swollowed, "Well, we could either starve to death first, or we could be diges-" 

Mari interupted "I meant alive!" 

The guy looked around, trying to come up with an idea.  Then he had it... The only promblem was... someone would have to stay behind. He shook his head, trying to think of any other way.  They could kill  it from the inside, but judging by the skin, this turtle regenerates in 10 seconds.  Someone would have to stay behind. Someone would have to hold the wound open for the others to get out.

He took out the pocket knife and looked for a weak spot on the turtle. the throat. "Guys, I have a plan." He said interupting their argument. They gathered around and talked for a bit. The guy told them his plan, only he left out one little part. "What do you think?" He asked. Mari and Lana nodded. He walked over to what seemed to be the throat. He took out his pocket knife, and started to cut through. He cut a hole and held it open, quickly Mari and Lana got through. When Mari turned around to hold out a hand for the guy, he just shook his head, and let go of the wound. Mari's eyes widened. Lana pulled her to the surface of the water.

Mari gasped for air, "No! We have to go back for him! Lana we have to go back!" She shouted tears rolled down her cheeks. Anger, sadness, and fear boiled up all at once inside of her. Lana held Mari back. "No! Mari! Its too late. We cant help him!" Lana shouted back.  Lana pulled Mari to the grass and sat down with her. Their best friend was gone, he had sacrificed himself to save them.

Now thats a true friend.

I used "The guy" Because his character is based off of someone thats real and I didnt want to use his name.
