She was running for her life, her lungs hurt as she tried to escape the droids pursuing her. Tears stung her eyes as she bolted down the street. Donnie had said this was inevitable, she just didn't think it would be so soon. She came to an antique shop, the window was broken so she jumped into the store and hid beneath the front counter. The familiar whirl and clank passed through along with a strange and gut churning gurgling noise. She covered her mouth with her hands and held her breath praying they would not find her.
Her eyes were held shut tightly wishing she had gotten up earlier to see the guys, instead of sleeping in, she could be with them at the moment, with Raphael. The thought almost broke her as a few tears rolled down her flushed cheeks. Maybe she should call them? Why hadn't one of them called her? She was terrified which made her angry.
Grace thought of April and bit her lip in frustration, why couldn't she be more like April? April wouldn't be afraid she would be determined and fighting and trying to figure a way out. Also April wouldn't be crying! Grace shook her head getting a grip on her emotions and thoughts. The guys weren't with her, she was alone and she had to do something about it; use what she could and do what she had to survive.
She took a deep breath, slowly moved to the edge of the desk and peaked over the top out the door. Dozens of Kraang droids were filing down the street there was no way she'd make it out that way. She looked to the back of the store and noticed an emergency exit. A stroke of luck, she thought; but what if an alarm goes off? She gnawed at her nails, racking her brain when suddenly her phone went off.
"Hello?" She whispered frantically.
"Grace, where are you The Kraang are attacking!" It was Mikey his voice was scratchy and panicky but she was so happy to hear it.
She cringed, "I know Mikey!" She hissed but he didn't seem to hear her. "We went past your apartment but you weren't there."
She frowned and nodded, "Yeah I was coming to see you guys." She whispered rather loudly, she heard Mikey say something but it didn't register as the desk she hid under was thrown across the room to revel her crouched form. She gasped wide eyes as 3 droids pointed there laser guns at her head.
She dropped the phone. "Shit." She gasped fumbling for the device. Finding it she didn't wait any longer bolting to the back and out the exit. "Mikey, I'm being chased by the Kraang!" She screamed and pressed end call. Hopefully they would find her.
So this is Grace's encounter with the Kraang invasion… unfortunately I haven't decided what will become of her yet. If you have suggestions or an opinion about these shorts please leave a review
