Me: Hello, and welcome to the first chapter of "Down the Large Hole in the Ground". This is my first story, so please go easy on me.
Deidara: The author apologizes for the title. She was watching "Alice in Wonderland" while she was writing this.
Me: SHHH! Quiet you. Now just to be clear, I do not own any characters from "Naruto", but I do own Tsuki and Miranda. Enjoy!
I threw the book across my room where it crashed into the far wall. I felt betrayed, torn, destroyed. I had been reading the latest volume of the manga "Naruto", just to find out that my favorite character had blown himself up. I wanted to fly to Japan, torture the author until they re-wrote the chapter so he didn't die. Now, you're probably thinking "What the hell is wrong with her? It's just a character in some stupid book." WRONG! I felt a special connection to him, so those of you who think I'm mentally unstable, bullshit!
Someone started banning on my door rather harshly.
"Tsuki, What the hell are you doing in there?" screamed my mother. Right, I
should probably explain. I live with my mother, father and little brother who is 2 years younger then I am (he's 14, I'm 16). Yep, we're just one big happy family-NOT!
"Leave me alone!" I screamed back. "My favorite character just died!"
"That's it, you're way to crazy about this stupid series. I'm getting rid of them."
"What the Fuck! You can't do that you stupid old hag!"
"Yes, I can. Now open this door!" I ignored her and simply blocked the door with my chair. More banging on the door. Ignoring it, I packed all of my "Naruto" manga into my backpack. I grabbed a thick black off-the-shoulders sweater from my closet and put it on. I was just about to zip up my bag, when I noticed my little black kitten sleeping on my bed. No way was I letting my family get a hold of her. I gently lifted her up and put her in my bag.
I opened my window and removed the screen. I was on the second floor, so I couldn't go down. The cold chill wind blew in my face, and I decided the only way to go was up. I heard the door handle rattle, which told me my parents were trying to get in. I tied back my long, plain brown hair into a messy ponytail and put my bag on the roof. I started to shake as I stood on the windowsill, not because of how high off the ground I was, but because I had never done this before. You see, I'm the shy, quiet, straight A student that parents are so proud of. I'm sick of it! I never have a choice of my own. I'm like a bird in a cage, but I'm about to change that.
I grabbed the roof and started to pull my-self up, walking up the side of the house. I got up just in time as my parents burst into the room. Quiet as a ninja, I picked up my bag and hurried across the roof to the back where I jumped down onto the deck and ran down the stairs. I dashed across the back lawn as I heard the door open and jumped the fence that was between our house, and the creek. I ran along the creek without looking back.
I pulled out my phone and dialed my best friend, Miranda's number. Ring… Ring… Ring…
"Hello! Miranda speaking."
"Miranda," I said. "I need you to pick me up at the Wal-Mart by my house. It's important."
"I'll be right there." That's why we're such good friends. We don't ask questions when we need each other, we just do it.
"I closed my cell and headed away from the creek, into the Wal-Mart parking lot. In no more then three minutes, Miranda was there. She parked her silver car and ran over to me.
"Tsuki, what the hell is going on?" she asked. I took a shaky breath and told her what happened. She let out a low whistle. "I can't believe you did that. That's bold Tsuki. Your parents are going to freak."
""Yeah, well they can go to hell. I'm sick of them telling me how to live my life." No sooner had I said that than a red van pulled into the parking lot and headed straight towards us.
"Shit, it's your parents!" yelled Miranda. "How did they find you?" I thought about it, then it hit me. I took out my phone and threw it as far as I could.
"My cell has a GPS in it," I explained. "That's how they found me."
"Come on, let's take my car."
"NO! It's too obvious. Quick into the forest!" We ran into the dense forest filled with trees as we heard the doors open and slam shut. We could both run fast, but Miranda's endurance was better then mine. She grabbed my hand to help me as we heard footsteps behind us, and they were gaining. Fuck, why couldn't this be like in one of my dreams? Nothing could ever catch me when I was running in my dreams.
It was dark out, so I didn't see the log in front of me. I tripped and went flying into Miranda. We both tumbled into a hole and fell. And fell…. And fell…. And fell…. Just as it seemed like there was no bottom, we hit the ground with a large thud and I heard my arm crack. I felt a sharp pain in my arm, before I faded into darkness.
