The one who's missing
CHAPTER 1-BEGINNING
It was a fairly plain day. A small breeze was flowing breaking the usual uncomfortableness of the sun's light which was shining brightly, making the morning relaxing and enjoyable.
An excited blond boy with an orange blank t-shirt and blue jean shorts was holding a small bowl containing sand, a few pebbles and four tiny baby turtles .While heading towards a zebra crossing the two turtles with the emerald and olive skin were playing together, the sea green turtle was way smaller than the latters was taking a nap curled up like a cat and the fourth leaf green turtle was watching the front of the bowl as the scenery next to it was moving with fascination to his little face.
As the kid was standing another boy shoved him, making him trip and he dropped the bowl shattering it to pieces. At the same time a truck took a steep turn and a big glass canister with glowing ooze fell off the truck breaking on the pavement.
The ooze had been released from its prison moving on the sewer drain dragging with it the four turtles. The olive green one though jumped on a pavement's brick, trying not to lose his balance .Pushing up he got on the pavement and quickly started to move .In between the sea of legs he could hear loud voices and sounds but he didn't recognize anything.
Crouching and still covered in ooze he reached an alley where pair of stray cats was. They saw him with a look of surprise but then they tried to grab him hissing and meowing in the process. The poor turtle started crouching faster his knees scraping on the pavement as he shook the ooze off, his little heart thumping on his chest terrified. Then his face connected with a man's shoe flowing backwards and landing on what it seemed like a giant yellow rock. He hadn't had the time to catch his breath and the rock started moving. Our little friend had to hold on the car wire so he wouldn't fall over. The ground under him was bumping and shaking which made it harder to hold on, but then he noticed that he was leaving the noisy city. A few hours later his little hands were starting to weaken as he got tired and hungry but he didn't dare to move because he was too scared and cold to do so. Eventually night had fallen and the car finally stopped .The little olive turtle was now starving and as he fell from the strange rock on to the ground.
Getting on his fours he looked around and spotted a bush a couple feet away with blue spots on it. Crouching near it he tried one. They were delicious he thought and so he ate and ate until he was stuffed. After that he noticed a big hole that went under a tree. Dragging a leaf with him he curled under it and he slept.
The next day as the turtle woke up he noticed that he grew a little bit more overnight and as he was getting up he remembered how he got there but began to brush it off as he was looking for breakfast .
He found the bush with the berries and suddenly got an idea. After he ate a few to calm his appetite he got the leaf he used for a blanket and threw as much berries as he could carry inside the leaf then folding it into a sack and finally tying it with a vine he found lying around. Taking the end of the vine he started crouching towards the forest trees. A while after he heard water flowing so he moved to that direction.
Reaching a stream he sat cross-legged to rest and taking in a few sips quenching his thirst. While moving to get comfortable he thought of the other turtles he was with. The emerald one whom was playing with, the small sea green one which was sleeping peacefully and the leaf green one which was the one who protected him the most. He wondered where they were now.
After a couple hours of sleep he moved further down the river, his leaf still being dragged until he found a weird building with a big wooden wheel next to it. It wasn't moving though. Getting inside he set his leaf down and started eating his berries. Exploring would have to wait but he could tell that this place was interesting. Finding two big dirty wash cloths he made a makeshift bed and quickly crawled in, already asleep.
