What if the river didn't kill Otto Octavius? A mute teenager with no name discovers a monster in an abandoned warehouse, a man with four extra arms. He worries about the police, and so does she. Will her plan work? And is he really is a monster?

Warning, the first paragraph has some sensitive words for those of you who don't like swearing, there is also mention of child abuse.

She didn't have a name. Well she did, but no one called her by that name. The names that she was called were mostly,

Little Shit

Little Snot

Little Brat

Whore

Stupid

You

And others

Sometimes it would be a combination, others it would be punches that would address her rather then her name.

When the nameless fourteen year-old needed to get away from her abusive mother, and her mom's boyfriend and buddies and their girlfriends, she did what any mute teenager did. She ran. Of course, she always returned for fearing of what might happen if she came home late or that something might happen to her when she was alone at night.

The girl sat on the edge of a pier, outside of a nearby warehouse where she would hide. But like the rest of the week today was hot and stuffy in there so she decided to sit outside.

She had taken off her scuffed up shoes that had holes almost everywhere and set them on the wood next to her. She dipped her feet in the water, gasping at the coolness. She looked a little ways down. A place that was supposed to be a pier was nothing but a pile of rubble. She wondered what had happened, her mother had mentioned it, but they never watched the news or anything like that so she wouldn't know.

There were several cops standing nearby and the girl lowered her head and listened.

"It's been almost a week; I think it's time to start cleaning up."

"It hasn't almost been a week. It's been like almost two days one and a half. Stop exaggerating. Now what about Doc Ock?"

"What about him?"

"Don't you think we should at least go down and get him?"

'What for? He's got no family. No point really."

The other cop looked at his partner sceptically. "It's our job."

"No it's not. Besides, when they had the divers down there yesterday, they said that they couldn't find any trace of him."

Something caused the water to bubble and splash upwards, rubble and debris that had set on the bottom rose to the surface.

"What the hell?"

"Something probably just settled or something by the bottom."

The girl noticed something out of the corner of her good eye, the other she could barely see out of. She squinted; there was something in the water. She watched as it drug itself out of the water and onto the land by the warehouse. It was moving slowly and strangely, it looked to be in the shape of a man but it had extra limbs.

Something in the water by her feet caught her attention. She looked down, something was slowly sinking. She tried to look closer but what ever it was, it was too dark to see. She leaned closer, nearly toppling over the edge and reached into the water.

She grabbed whatever it was and pulled it out. She blinked. It was a pair of dark sunglasses. She whipped them off on her shirt and looked through them. She shrugged, eh. Good enough.

She looked back over to where she saw the man. There was nothing there now. She stood up, she still couldn't see him. She was going to go and look, but a shout stopped her.

"Hey! Hey you! Hey Kid!"

She turned, the cops were addressing her.

"Get out of here; don't you know it's not safe?"

The girl scowled. She didn't like police; they always stuck their noses in business that didn't concern them. She put her shoes back on, tying the strings that used to be laces.

She looked back in the direction where she saw the man dragging himself out of the water before placing the little too large sunglasses on her face. She ducked her head and stuck here hands inside her sweater pockets. She headed into the city, trying to find anyplace that didn't have a bunch of cops and that wasn't home. There were very little places like that. But she would manage, she always had.
