Chapter three
You: Hey my imaginary friend! Whatcha up to?! J
I sent the text as I flopped back down on the couch. Placing the phone on my stomach I flicked on the tv, surfing through the channels until my phone buzzed. Picking it up I was strangely hesitated to open the text. Mainly because imaginary people can't text back. I'm being stupid I don't know if it was one of those things from the roof. It could just as easily be someone from school.
Unknown: Hey! U found my number sweet! I was just reading a silver century comic. What about U?
You: just watching tv, uh sorry to ask but who is this exactly?
Unknown: Oh right I haven't given you my name! haha. Names Michelangelo, every one tends to call me Mikey tho so you can 2 :D
You: uh right….. and how do I know you?
Unknown: haha your hilarious! We met on the roof dummy :3
I froze my phone in front of my face. They couldn't of been real? Could they? No that's impossible, it was just my imagination getting away from me. But that hug felt so real, that must have been when he put the number in my pocket. But who, why? I don't understand any of this. I can't, I can't deal with this. I place the phone down on the table and sit up.
"I'm going to the roof!" I yell, I saw Ri jump at my sudden outburst but ran past her to my room grabbing my Shinai (name of the bamboo sword used in Kendo) and heading to the roof. Laying out the mat I tried to steady my breathing as I slowly swung the sword. It wasn't working to well. An hour or two past before I was feeling calmer. Deciding it was time to head in I turned towards the door only to drop the Shinai on my foot gaze wide eyes at the mutated turtles from last night.
"Great are we gonna run into this girl every time we want to go home" The angry one snarled at me
"It is her roof Raph" Blue dude stating rolling his eyes. They were all in the light this time and I saw they had weapons. Each one a different weapon and colour mask. Blue, Purple, Orange and Red.
"Hey Dudette!" Mikey, well the one I assume was this Michelangelo smiled waving at me "So this is why you stopped replying! You were practicing. I thought you were freaking out or something" His smile grew wider. He had such child like expressions.
"Wait replying? You gave her your number!" Blue dude yelled
"Well yeah! She said we we're friends I wanted to stay in touch"
"What is wrong with you Mikey!" they stopped arguing when they heard the scream. My scream. I didn't mean to scream it just sort of happened. They all seemed shocked as I feel backwards shaking, my screaming died down. The angry one cleaned out his ear with one of his fingers
"Gees kid! Way to blow out our hearing!"
"I think that was her reacting to us" The tall one said looking at me concerned
"Na dude! She said we were friends we're cool" Mikey said proudly smiling
"Than explain the scream" The mean one said crossing his arms. I couldn't stand it anymore, I tuned out as they continued to talk. Bringing my legs to my chest and rocking back and forth mumbling
"This can't be real, this can't be real, THIS can't be real" I felt the presents of a shadow loaming over me. Looking up I felt tears stinging my eyes. I wasn't even aware I was on the brink of crying. Mikey was standing over me offering a three fingered hand, concern plastered his face. I shook my head and shakily stood. He turned to his brothers and said something but I just sprinted. To the side of the building and jumped down to the nearest fire escape platform. I felt it jolt slightly under my weight but ignored it and continued down the escape. Desperate to get away. I mean they seemed friendly enough sure but they all had weapons! And were just …. Unnatural. I felt the escape shake slightly looking up to see my not so imaginary friends following me. Holding back another scream I pushed myself to go faster. Making it down to the bottom of the building I ran for the ally's exit only to have the one in the red mask block my way. I ran straight towards him than faked going left, while he stepped that way I spun and ran past him. Onto the street. I continued to sprint, I didn't even know where I was going but the fear I felt was indescribable. I didn't know what was happening or where I was, or even how long I'd been running before I smashed into something really, really hard and then something else which I assume was the ground. The world was spinning, I managed to make someone standing over me shaking their head before my vision went black.
