You were upset...your day had been absolutely dreadful. First, when you woke up this morning, you discovered there was a minor power surge in the electrical facility that maintained care over the city's electricity, causing a black-out. This being the situation...your alarm didn't sound this morning. You were over 2 hours late to school. Secondly, in algebra, some girls were snickering at you, so you boarded the train of thought, and began to consider just going to sleep in class so you didn't have to take this torture anymore. While deep in thought, your teacher, Mr. O'Conner decided he wanted to make you answer an equation on the board. It looked like mainly gibberish...so you just put your head down and let one silent tear slip down your cheek as the whole class giggled and pointed fingers.
You never really had a desire to hang with the popular kids, and you enjoyed being alone sometimes. But just to feel like you could be accepted, would make you not slouch so low, talk so quiet, talk so little...and cry so much. Every word that you wanted to say but didnt was let out in a tear later.

You went on with your day, and the usual, bullies, fights...and homework...lots and lots of it.

*time skip to after school*

>ring ring<
Finally, the dismissal bell. You let out a sigh of relief, and walked out those glorious front doors of the school in which you only admired at this time everyday.

You had lived in the darker side of town. With your father gone, it was all your 'mother' could afford. Your mother has been quite cruel ever since your father passed. Always screaming, yelling, slaving you around the house. I guess she figured she might as well get some use out of ya. Some days she would come home drunk...you don't even wanna think about it, the bruise on your side from last time still hurts.

You left the house after dinner to take a quick walk and clear your head. Something was off though...you had a bad feeling, but you didn't want to go home. Your mother was denied a promotion at work, so she was furious, and she would be home in about 15 minutes so you didn't wanna deal with that. She was unpredictable sometimes...and always...always scary.

*trash can rattle*

You turn to the alley that you expected the sound was coming from. You walk in about 8 feet and to your surprise...it was a cat. You let out a little chuckle. (hey, if you don't like cats, make it something you do like) you bend down and pet the poor thing, realizing how skinny it is. You could see its ribs. This made you wince a little. "We're not so different you and i...left out in the cold...no one watching over us." You pick up the poor thing and held it to you." Hey, maybe we can help each other out..."

*BANG*

You look behind you to see four purple dragons coming your way with pocket knives. You smirk at this. "Hey boys" you say, pulling one of them close to you, getting really close in his face. He blushes at this, yet keeps his evil glare. You pretend to lean in and kiss him but than...*crunch*...you kicked him in the crotch. He fell to the ground and yelped in pain, than yelled, "get her, you idiots!"
The other three purple dragons walked up to you, grinning...chuckling.
"Hey girlie!" Says the rather tall and scrawny one.
The chubbier one just whistled.
Ew.
The other one just prepared his weapon and smirked.

You put the cat (or other animal) down on the dumpster without taking your eyes off of the purple dragons.
They all leaped torward's you at once. You keep a pocket knife on you for these kind of situations. You held your own pretty well, until the first guy came up behind you and restrained your arms. You wiggled to try to get out of his grasp...but couldnt. The other purple Dragon came up to you and grabbed your chin making you face him. He swiped a clean cut on your cheek...three of them actually. You winced at the pain, feelings the warm crimson substance run down your upper body. He was about to cut your throat when out of nowhere...they grunt in pain and fall. I was out of their grasp. You hear a footstep in the shadows as you pick a pipe up off the ground to defend yourslef, although you were not in stance yet.
"Thanks" you say. You meant it, but you dont have much personality to your voice anymore. There was too much pain in your experiences to feel much of anything anymore.
"Your welcome" the voice says...it was a male.
"Why won't you show yourself?"I asked.
"Because...you would be scared." He said, a hint of sadness in his voice.
Your curiosity got the better of you,"try me" you said.
The figure approached from the shadows.
To your astonishment...it was a...a...turtle. You weren't scared, just not expecting...that. You had to admit, he was...maybe...maybe just a little sexy.
He looked down at the ground,"you can run, scream...do what you wish"
You stood there walking in a circle around him slowly, taking in every aspect of him.when you returned to the front of him, you caught his eyes. They were...beautiful. He was cute for not being human.
He tilted his head at me,"what are you doing?"He questioned.
"Incredible" you say. His eyes widen."what?"He asks." You look incredible...but how?"
He chuckled," not so fast miss, i barely know you."
You smirk,"I'm Y/N"(Your name)
"I'm leonardo"
You shake hands.
"Hey uh...your bleeding."
"Huh?"you reach up and touch the cheek that had the 3 cuts on it from the purple dragons.
"Oh uh...yeah that.it will heal on its own, no worries." You say with a small smile.
"Are you sure? I know someone who can help. I trust him with my life." He suggests.
You smile, staring into his eyes."Sure." You say
He looks surprised by your answer."well then, let's go" he says, walking towards a manhole cover, lifting it with ease.
"Uh...down there?" You ask, skeptical.
"Yes" he says, with a voice saying something like 'you can trust me'.
You take a quick glance behind you at the street...at your apartment, then climb down after him, but not before grabbing the cat that surprisingly stayed.
