Losing Hope chapter 1 disaster strikes

A small figure made strange movements; it seemed to be holding a long stick. It was a young girl, maybe six or seven years old and she flexed her body in ways that were unnaturally controlled for her age. Small hands twirled the bamboo stick she was holding before creating a soft whooshing sound and a thud as she strikes. This was immediately followed by a cry of shock. She broke from her concentration as her gaze lingered on the grinning turtle boy at her feet.

'Mikey! How many times I have to tell you, no sneaky up on me!'

'Lots and lots of times Hope.'

'Aw man!'

She didn't miss the mischievous glint in her brother's eyes and she quickly pinned him to the floor.

'Tell Mikey before I make turtle soup out of you!'

He gasped; 'you wouldn't'

'Bet on it… dude.'

'Alright, alright I'll give. We're gonna go play in the play in the sewers, wanna come?'

'But master Splinter said….'

'Master Splinter won't know.'

'Alright.'

Hope helped him up and together they walked out and joined their brothers. Soon, the five children reached the main junction of the sewers. Hope looked at her brothers… they weren't allowed to play here! It was too dangerous! Her confusion grew as she saw her brothers walk towards a small ledge and using it to reach the other side of the junction. They noticed that she hadn't followed them and they turned to her.

'Come one Hope! Wactcha waiting for?'

'Where are you going?'

'We're going to an old place deeper into the sewers Raph and me found.!'

'But Leo! If master Splinter finds out we're done for!'

'It's safe Hope, trust me! Now come on!'

The little girl sighed and walked towards the edge. She began to pull herself to the other side of the room. Hope made it half way across when she felt her fingers slip and she struggled to hold onto the ledge. Her brothers looked at her with worry and urged her to go on. She found her grip and she restarted her climb across but before she could move even 1 inch, a part of the ledge broke of and tumbled into the water. And what was worse… it took Hope with it! The little girl screamed as she fell to the water. Her eyes, wide open in fear, found those of her brothers. They were shocked and they stood there watching all the while not knowing what to do. Mikey screamed and made a gesture as if he wanted to catch her hand.

'HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE'

But is was too late for the moment her name left his beak, her body collided with the surface.

/Hope's point of view\

The water was freezing cold as I fell in it. I heard Mikey shout my name but I couldn't answer. The surface closed over my head and I was trapped inside the cold darkness of the water. I flailed with my arms and legs… hoping to get up to catch some air. I felt my heart in my throat when I lost my breath…. Suddenly I felt rocks beneath my feet. I had hit the bottom! Without thinking I kicked myself up; I broke through the surface with a start and began coughing. The current was to strong for me to stay up and I got dragged back down under. No matter how hard I struggled I couldn't go back up. Suddenly stars came into my sight as my head connected with something hard. The hit made me lose my breath and I began to suffocate. I couldn't get back up and I gave up hope. Slowly my vision turned black and I got lost in the darkness while I drowned…

Is this the end of little Hope? Who knows…. Stay tuned for the next part of Losing Hope!
