She had the most beautiful carapace you could have ever dreamt of. Everybody that passed by her, would get astonished by her beauty. She had all the colors of the rainbow and she even sparked. But no one had ever seen her face.

She was a mistery. Everybody talked about that stunning tortoise, even though no one actually knew who she was. She had never talked to anyone. They still knew she was inside.

Rumours said that she used to get out in the middle of the dark. In the middle of the night no one would ever catch her. She did not want to be known. She did not want to be judge. Hiding inside of her carapace she felt safe. She was so scared of the others that she could not see she was slowly suffocating.

One morning everybody woke up late. It all looked different, the sea was darker. Something was missing. She had let the fear kill her.
