It was late and 8 year old April O'Neil was still up playing with her pet turtle. Her father, Kirby O'Neil, on the other hand was trying to keep his cool and get her to go to bed.

"April please go to sleep your turtle will be there in the morning" He said in a pleading tone.

"But he is here right now and the turtle has a name you know." April retaliated.

Kirby took a deep breath and tried not to scream his head off.

"April sweetie I have to sleep to and I can't do that if your awake and because your mother won't let me so please."

April finally gave into her father's demands and crawled into bed and got tucked in. Kirby was about to turn off the light when a loud knock was heard from the front door. "Strange, probably just Wilson he must have remembered that he didn't finish making the test for tomorrow and needs help, again."

When Kirby opened the door wasn't really greeted with three identical men with emotionless faces. "Oh h-hello do you fine men need hel..."

ZAP Kirby fell back and blood began to pooled out of his chest as he fell to the floor and slowly began to die. Footsteps were heard as a woman's voice called nervously.

"Kirby is everything all right?" All that was heard was a scream, another zap, and a loud thud. The three men walked inside one spoke in a robatic tone.

"Search the place that is this place to find the one that is needed by krang.

In a closet shaking with fear and holding a small turtle in her hands, poor little April didn't know what to do as she heard the footsteps get closer. The sound of a door opening made April want to be invisible. Then everything began to happen at once, the closet doors flung open and she took off past the first man out of her room and down the hall.

He second one almost grabbed her if she hadn't dashed between his legs. April turned left to exit the house, but as she opened the door someone yanked her by the hair. April started to kick and scream as her mouth was covered by the mans hand. Trying to bite the hand only made her teeth hurt as the man dragged her to a white van and threw her in with other kids and a few animals already seated with hopeless and scared faces.

She looked at the kids the kids looked back. The door slammed behind them and van came to life April began studying the faces of the kids.

Crying, hopeless, and devastated faces April looked at her hands when she noticed that she was carrying something, it was her turtle. It was trying to sit upright since it was on its back. April turned the little fella over and held him close what's going to happen now? April thought as the van drove down the road and God knows what will happen when it stops.




Can anyone guess the turtles name?

I just ruined the moment... but I don't care!
