Shayla was an ordinary thirteen year old middle school girl. She went to school, had a few friends, hated homework. She was what everyone expected a thirteen year old to be. On the outside. On the inside, at her home life, she had a scene (emo) younger sister, an alcoholic stepfather, and a cigarette-puffing mother.
Her father wasn't as bad as drunkies on TV who beat their children, but he'd scream at her and her sister and her mother. Occasionally he'd slap one of them. He swore and spit and fought with Shayla's mother. There were holes in the wall from all the times he'd punched through it.
Her family hadn't always been like this. When her father had been alive, everything had been wonderful. Her mother painted. Her sister, Charabelle Fay, was a little ray of sunshine. And Shayla had a Tamagotchi.
But two years can change everything. Shayla still had her Tamagotchi under her mattress, and batteries in her desk drawer. It seemed to be the only thing she still had from her old life.
And one day, Shayla decided enough was enough. She packed her things in the morning when her mother was asleep and her father was at the bar. All the money she had, two changes of clothing, a map of the town, some dry food she'd stolen from the kitchen, a few bottles of water, and her Tamagotchi, its batteries, and a miniture screwdriver. And she walked right out the back door and into the woods.
Then she ran. She ran as fast as she could, over a rock, around a tree, over a stump, around a bush, until she couldn't see her porch light any more and the sounds of the highway had vanished.
She sat down on a stump and pulled out the batteries, her Tama, and the screwdriver. Battery in. Back back on. A moment later, it hatched, and Shayla named the baby girl Fay, after her sister.
"Looks like it's just you and me now, little guy."
Rules~
♥ Don't be too random (stuff coming alive, stuff appearing out of nowhere, etc)
♥ Don't be too gross (boogers, poo, pee, puke, etc)
♥ Don't be too violent (shooting, breaking bones, punching/kicking violently, etc.)
♥ Don't kill any characters. This is an important rule I want everyone to follow. I've read a few team stories where the first poster just kills everyone and recreates the story. If someone does kill a character, skip that post and pretend it never happened.
♥ No plot killing. Example: "Oh no, the big bad wolf is attacking the town!" "It's okay I killed him with lazer eyes" If you see this, skip over it and pretend it didn't happen. This one is also just as important as killing a character.
♥ Use correct grammar, spelling, capitolization, and punctuation. Nothing like "i lyke pie lolzzzzz haha omg u didnt do that noo sayla souted!!!1!1!1!one!!1!!eleven!!!!1!"
♥ At least four sentences an entry.
♥ Shayla can NEVER come home willingly. EVER. Skip over any entry with Shayla returning home on her own. The police or something can bring her home, but she can stay for ONLY the next two entries. Then she has to leave again.
