Linh and the stolen egg ch1 book1 p1

Instructions

I haven't been on scratch a while so here take my junk. Anyway, the ending of chapter one couldn't fit in the credits so you kind need to look in another project linked at the end. But you kinda need to read this first so here! This isn't that edited so there might be mistakes. This is more of a backstory for one of my characters. AKA- Linh Linh and the stolen egg! : Linh was on her last leg. What she meant by that? She didn’t even know. You see, Linh’s mother stole something. Something forbidden. As a punishment they told her mother that she’d have to give it back or they would kill Linh. For some reason it had to be given back from hand. And for some reason, her mother refused and ran off. Even though this broke Linh’s heart she kept moving, kept hoping for a future that did not end with death. She escaped and is now on the run. Thankfully, these people who threatened to kill her weren’t the police. If they were she would’ve be caught and been sentenced to death long ago. They were like a magic securer police. If that made any sense. They were fooled by a simple change in ID. ( So much for their magic. ) Their only power was being able to be to not seen by humans. And no one would notice if they committed successful murder. So Linh would simply just change her ID once every now and then. But the person she impersonates must be dead and must be her age to work. Linh knew this by experience. People like this were common. Disappearances they were. Nobody would even notice they were ever gone if she acted like one. Surprisingly they were parentless. This made it a thousand times easier. But these disappearances were running low and soon enough there was only one left. Angelica. Linh’s BFF. Of course, Linh hated impersonating someone who she knew. It felt like pleasuring her friend’s death. But she had to. Angelica looked and acted like Linh. It one of Linh’s most effortless impersonations. The only thing she had to change was her T-shirt. Even when Linh had to change her hair because of an impersonation, Angelica would do to. Angelica escaped with Linh, rejecting her old life. They ended up bet short black ragged hair, white skin, blue eyes, jeans and different T-shirts. Linh had completely forgotten how she first looked like. It didn’t matter though. As long as she lived, she was fine. Even if it meant she had to live with the death of others. Anyway, Linh was now on a little joy ride. On a train. Linh was really immersed in her thoughts. She was thinking about the free train ticket she found in Angelicas bag. She hoped it wasn’t a trick. Or a capture and kill plan. The capture was fine. The kill? Not so much. Linh didn’t even notice there was someone sitting in front of her until she was 10 minutes away from her destination. She looked up. They did too. They spoke, “Linh?” Linh was startled. She wasn’t found was she? She looked into the other persons eyes. They were wearing Angelica’s school uniform. But apart from that Linh couldn’t even make out who they were. Angelica’s uniform was supposed to hide one’s features, a green cloth tide to your mouth, a black cloak covering your head, and black shorts. Linh assumed they were a girl, with purple long hair and pearly black eyes but who was she to judge? She didn’t want to anger them. She didn’t know what they were capable of. Before she could decide her next move the student spoke again; “Oh, don’t look at me like that!”, they snorted, “I’m Dot! Angelica’s BFF!” Linh suddenly lost the desire to not anger this student immediately. Linh knew Dot, she was an annoying, emo, foolhardy girl. “Dot? Oh, you are so annoying and immature!“ snapped Linh, pointing it out, “I cannot believe you’re 18!” Dot snorted, “That may be, but we both know you need my help! Plus you’re going to help me after I help you.” “Why would I need your help? I got my impersonation, and I’m still alive. I don’t need any thing other than another ID and we both know you don’t have that.” Linh argued. Dot passed Linh a school uniform, “Aren’t there many disappearances at forest placed school camp-out?” Dot said, a half smile on her face grew as her dark circled eyes gleamed. Dot gave some time for Linh to change. Linh knew that she had to try. Even if she didn’t know what the plan was. Even if she didn’t understand Dot’s point. She was probably an idiot for using up her last ID for Dot but she really had nothing more to lose. “Five more minutes until we get off.” Dot said, staring into space. Linh noticed tears in her eyes. Linh stared. Linh understood why Dot was upset but… Linh nodded, “Okay?” Angelica was Dot’s best friend. Maybe Linh was too hard on Dot. She probably just found out about Angelica. And Linh didn’t show a display of remorse. Linh could only imagine how heartless Dot would think she is.
