"This night couldn't have been prevented, little one," The mutant rat man said, looking down at the six year old girl with tears streaming down her face.
"Yes it could've Mister Splinter; I know how to punch; my best friend taught me last year when we were in preschool," The little girl said, still sobbing.
A few seconds had passed when splinter offered his hand. "Come, you may live with me little one," Mia looked at him puzzled. "But… What about mommy." She asked.
"The police will find them, neighbors must've noticed by now," It took another few seconds for this little girl to say yes. She nodded her head and took his hand.
They walked a long way. It had to be at least a mile away, from where they started. The little girl had calmed down by then, thinking thoughts in her head wondering if mommy and daddy were talking to Jesus in Heaven. Splinter broke the long silence. "What is your name little one," Splinter asked. Mia smiled. "I memorized this; my name is Mia Avery Andrews."
"That is a very pretty name Mia, You know I have adopted a daughter when she was a newborn, her name is Alice although the boys call her Ally. Splinter stated.
"Oh what animal is Alice," Mia asked. Splinter chuckled. "She is human just like you," he said.
"Oh," Then Mia remembered something, "Who are the boys," She asked.
"They are actually three years older than you, they are my sons, they are also turtles," he said using the word "they" a lot.
"How many sons do you have?" Mia asked curiously
Splinter looked down at the extremely short child! "Well we'll be there in ten seconds, and then you'll see,"
Mia counted silently in her head.
Ten seconds had passed and they were there. "This is the lair, you do not show ANYONE," he said firmly. Mia put her hand over her heart. "I won't show a soul," Mia promised. "Alright my children are in bed, so I will not wake them up, but you will meet them in the morning," Splinter said. Mia nodded her head "You may sleep on the couch for tonight and I will make you a bed in the morning."
"Okay," She said. Mia then went on the couch and drifted off to sleep.
Thanks for reading "Curious." It means a lot to me that people take a little time out of their day to view my fan fiction. Please Review and tell me what you think. I will reveal what happened to Mia to make her lose her family. (Hint it has a resemblance to what happened to splinter to make him lose his family) in the next chapter. BYE!
