Chapter 2:Splinter-The Beginnings Of it All

Minus ten years

He had been watching one of his stories when the report came on.

The report of a large bipedal animal.

At first he shouted for his sons, then froze when he saw that the creature that had been caught was not a turtle…nor male for that matter.

She was a slender rat, younger than his sons. Black fur, bright brown eyes.

She was cornered, terrified, and looked horribly lost.

Like his sons who had come running at his call, he remained frozen in shock.

Then as the feed ran live a young man leap towards the cameras from behind the female rat and charged them.

Gunfire erupted and the rat screamed as the young man fell.

Everything changed after the female rat attacked.

Life would never be the same again.

Murders!

Humans knew she could speak.
