Blue Belle
Chapter 2
I gasped and spluttered for a good few minutes before I finally recovered. I was aware that I was laying in a bed of grass, so I shot up and looked around.
I was by the shore of a small body of water. A pond. It was only one thirds frozen over.
Getting up, I shivered. The wind was rough and cold. I only had a small, white wrap as a skirt and a mini white wrap around my chest. It just barely reached my belly button.
I looked around at the water. It was only a light, slush like ice that covered it, and upon throwing a rock discovered it to be escapable. Also, there was no turtle.
I was immediately suspicious.
Not wanting to call a false alarm and be through, I took a walk around the perimeter of the pond. It was only so big, and it appeared that there was no turtle. Deciding that the office had made a mistake, like it sometimes does. Or if the turtle had escaped- I called for return.
"Hello, Gretchen?"
All I heard was static.
Looking confusedly at the communicator, all I saw was a blank screen.
Now, all I could do was stubble around the perimeter and search for an answer to my call.
"Hello? Jest?"
"Hello? Gabby?"
"Hello?"
Anybody?
I slumped on a tree, sliding to the ground. I was tired already, because of the wind. It dried my skin, making me cold and dehydrated.
I got off the ground and started moving forward.
Somewhere.
Anywhere.
All of the sudden, I felt a presence behind me, and panicking, spun around.
I was splashed with water.
I fell to the ground as my dry brown hair instantly darkened to black and my tail appeared as a shimmery blue, the fin a light shade of yellow, like Dori from Nemo.
Before I could process anything else, from the person to my wheezing, I was knocked unconscious.
Thanks for reading.
