PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE NOT EFFECTING THE CURRENT PLOT AT ALL THEY'RE JUST STORIES ON THE SIDE. SO SINCE BEN IS IN THIS IT DOESNT MEAN HES BACK IN THE HOUSE, IT JIST MEANS HES THERE.
HOPE I DONT CONFJSE ANYONE
"Is that a turtle?" Jeff asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion. Ben came over by the window and looked out into the pouring rain with him. There, in the middle of the yard, was indeed a turtle. But quite a small one. Jeff's eyesight was amazing, like everyone else's in the house.
Jeff and Ben stared, then their eyes widened to suddenly see Sally running into the yard towards the small creature. She picked it up and cradles it in her tiny arms, the turtle fitting perfectly. She quickly came back into the house and sat on the couch. She sat the creature next to her. Though the animal looked young, it had scratches and rough cuts along its neck and shell.
"what the hell happened to you?" Jeff asked, squatting in front of it. He didn't expect the small thing to answer, so he jumped when the animal spoke.
"why?" it said. the voice it had was raspy and crooked. Sally jumped in fear into Ben's arms. They backed away from the creature. Jane and Liu rushed in to see what was going on, and joined them near the main window of the living room.
"what do you mean why?" Jeff asked, taking a bold step forward. The turtle looked forward, not moving its body, only its eyes. The practically shuddered in fear of the creatures answered. They practically died when the turtle quickly, in the blink of eye, cornered them. Its neck now stretching far beyond its body, more scars and scratches along its wrinkled, green, scrawny, rubbery neck.
"I've seen the end of the world." The turtle spoke, its head slowly gyrating, " Its horrible. Just watching it made my blood boil. The nonbeliever's blood flooded all streets as the were ripped apart by the spirit of Satan. Angels and demons fought in the skies and on the ground, destroying most of everything. This house stands where my wife and children were murdered. With my speed and agility I could easily take all of you out. But I shan't."
The turtle lowered his head back to the normal length. "I shan't.." He said once more. Out of complete fear, Sally broke free from Ben's arms, quickly whipped out her knife and slit the small thing's throat. She stood over it heaving heavily before rushing into lius arms and burying her head in his shoulder. Without words, Ben disposed Of the small monster and everyone went back to what they were doing..
ONCE AGAIN, BEN IS NOT BACK. HE WAS JUST IN THIS SHORT STORY.
