The Turtlelight Saga

New Shells

The Turtlelight Saga: New Shells

'Open mine,' Talice encouraged in my head. Since they were supernatural turtles, their thoughts sounded in my mind.

I reached into my bag to reveal the blue-and-white box that she had slipped into my scruffy backpack. The present had latched onto my plastic lunch box, and both toppled to the ground. A single remaining piece of lettuce flew out.

"Ouch, break tin." I said as I bent to pick it off my foot. I thought nothing of this until I heard a low snarl.

T.J. lunged towards me, teeth bared, eyes beyond reason. Turtle flung me behind his own body, causing me to crash into the table, plates shattering as T.J. slammed into Turtle, and he pushed back. T.J. sailed backwards hitting the wall. That didn't stop him as he lunged at me again. Temmett and Tarlisle tackled T.J. from the side, dragging him down. Talice tried to calm him down, but soon everyone from the Tullen family's golden irises were fixated on the piece of leafy vegetable in my hands.

Tella drove her truck into the treservation. There was Tacob Tlack waiting for her. After all, Turtle had left her to do some very gay 'soul searching' with the Tolturi.

"TACOB!" Tella shouted, running across to meet him.

He snubbed her, the way one does when your glitter was stolen in preschool.

"TACOB! Wait up!" Tella shouted. She ran in slow motion to him.

"Tella stay away from me, I'm a baaaaaad turtle." He said.

"Pshh digga you ain't street." Tella said.

Suddenly a pack of Tarewolves came out of the blue... 

They lunged at me in slow motion, too bad my Turtle brain can't register such things, I should've seen them coming.

*

"Tella, Tella, Tella wake up." A voice said, the person shaking me. I opened my eyes and saw Tacob's green head over me. I was lying shell down.

"Turtle?" I croaked; partially because it was freezing, partially because I had swallowed a frog.

"No, it's Tacob. Tacob Tlack? Wereturtle? C'mon! I taught you how to ride the motorturtles?"

"Where am I?"

"La Pull. You jumped out of the ocean; I rescued you from flying birds."

I realized I was back in the water, after surviving the harsh conditions of the sand.

*

Tacob drove me home in my truck. I was wrapped up in some seaweed.

"Never. Again." He said, mouth clenched.

"I've never been on land." I said absent mindedly.

Before I knew it we were in my house. A pineapple under the sea. Then I saw the silver seahorse (First class ride, there) in my driveway.

"TURTLE!!" I shouted without thinking. He came back!

Instead I heard Talice's thoughts... 'Why am I here for this bitch anyway? Ugh, time to go do Turtle's dirty work'. She was my best friend ever!

"TALICE!" I said screaming, running towards her.

She mentally spoke into my soul. 'Don't touch me you dirty piece of *beep*. Now Turtle has gone to the Tolturi, he's giving himself up. Blah blah blah, you're the only pathetic turtle who can save him. Let's go.'

"I knew you came back for me!" I exclaimed.

 'Uh... sure I did.' Talice said mentally.

I smiled. Talice was the best friend a turtle could ever have.

* 

Talice and I went over the coral reef to Tolterra. It was the rich side of the ocean, where all the wealthy turtles live.

"Stop the car!" I screamed, it was nearly time for Turtle to expose himself.

'Are you kidding? Unless you give me 140 shells for parking, you'll just have to jump out!' Talice said in my head. I mentally thanked God for giving me such a caring best friend. I jumped off the seahorse, no problem, I just swam off.

"Turtle! No!!!" I screamed at him, his shell was off, and the minute he stepped into the water, his scales would begin to sparkle.

"I love you Turtle!" I yelled.

"I love you too!" A blonde girl with a 'Team Turtle' t-shirt shouted. "You're the best!"

"No, Tacob's the best!" A brunette girl wearing a 'Team Tacob' shirt yelled and hit the blonde with a spade.

*

I spoke to Turtle, "Tacob is here, do you still wanna come out?"

'Don't worry Tella, I got me some glowing action, he won't resist me!' He said.

Tacob came out. He swam slowly to add ‘dramatic effect’.

"What's HE doing here?" Tacob growled. "Filthy Lettucesucker!"

'TACOB! LANGUAGE! There are kids watching this movie." I said.

Then, they began to fight.

Turtle lunged at Tacob... Well, as fast as a lunge can be when you're going at 2cm/h.

The buildup was intense... Well, as intense as a build up can be when you're standing there awkwardly waiting for them to reach each other.

The fight was extreme... Well, as extreme as a fight can be when you have no opposable thumbs or physical ability.

They eventually gave up and Tacob turned away from us, and began to swim away.

Tacob was barely out of the forest when Turtle proposed to me. Right there, practically on Tacob's ass. Talk about waru*...
