The wind blew for the first time in a couple of days. It just made an eerie sound every time it blew my way. It wasn't so bad, ever since school started, I've been having a bad feeling about what would happen later on. My friends have told me to ignore it, but it got a little fuzzy as my house came into view. My eyes had then glued themselves to these unfamiliar trucks parked in front of my house. This doesn't seem right Creeping up the steps, every inch made my hear race. The front door had been left opened, but it looked like it was forced with its broken hinges. Now my question was, who was in my house? I slid in the broken doorframe, being as quiet as I could, to reach my dads home security system. The smell of something salty had reached its way into my nostrils, it was nauseating to say the least. The second I took another step, my foot was drenched in this goopy liquid, it looked black. At a different angle, it looked blood red. Thoughts raced through my mind, mom and dad had stayed home while I went off to Samantha's house and goofed off for the past five hours.

"M-mom?" I called out. No answer. "MOM!" Nothing, usually, I'd hear the kettle, or dad's radio.

I hated the house being quiet like this.

Finally, reaching the living room, peeking from the corner..I was horrified. There was two bodies lying close together, side by side. With the amount of light in the room, seeing one reaching for me. Skidding over, the woman, my mother, gently touched my face.

"Ellie" she managed to murmur. I was on the verge of tears. "M-" She shushed me with her finger. "They're still in the house, you have to leave us here" I shook my head, objecting to her request. Her eyes were pleading, the sound of footsteps could be heard from upstairs.

"Please" my mother had begged. I didn't want to go, I couldn't leave my parents here. I wanted to stay, I wanted to help them, but my mother knew there was no hope left for them. Giving her one last kiss goodbye, I ran off. Men dresses completely in black blocked my ways out. The lighting showed off their armor and tight uniforms. Ninjas? They came at me, with their sais, katanas, and many other weapons as well. I tried holding them off with the techniques dad taught me. Some were too quick, causing me to receive some minor cuts and bruises. They soon retreated, weakly, forcing my way, I soon fell on the floor, and I was soon bleeding from my torso. Applying pressure, crying in pain.

"This sucks" I cried out trying to humor myself. Looking up, two figures were standing over me, they were both filled with worry.

"Shit, the police is gonna be here any second, we got to get her outta here!" I reconized that voice. "Tyler?" I questioned. He shushed me.

"You're already in bad shape, and ol Erol cant stand the blood, so he got the car started, were gonna take you to Doc, okay?" Tyler had then picked me up carefully in his arms, and brought me over to the car. We were then on our way to the hospital, I looked out the window to see my home, still looking so quiet.

"A-and patches?" I asked worried, hoping they didn't off my dog as they did my folks.

"She's sleeping in the passenger seat, keeping me in place" Erol said half jokingly.

"Just try sleeping okay?" Tyler pleaded. With that, closing my eyes, I let sleep consume me.

The Next Morning.

A red headed woman walk around in her apartment in Soho, New York. Picking up left over food, she gives a quick glance to her boyfriend, a blue hair muscular type by the name of Casey Jones and her four other friends sleeping in crumbs and pizza around the living room.

"Boys" she said with a sigh.

The woman had placed what was left of, in the fridge. Upon doing so, she then sees a small portrait of her as a young girl, with one of her cousins. A sea green turtle then surprises her, holding back her shriek and then laughing it off.

"Mikey, you scared me!" "Sorry April" he said in an apologetic tone.

His grin warmed her up, as he helped her clean their mess from last night. His baby blue eyes always were childish, it proved so when pulling pranks on his brothers. But he was actually very happy-go-lucky and friendly. Orange was his color, because of his lively nature. Grunting was heard in the living room, the rest of the guys had woken up. Casey kept on snoring, while everyone else got up. Donatello, who had olive green skin and a purple bandanna rubbed his eyes and yawned. He was a turtle who was very smart, and could invent wonderful machines. At times, he would rather work on his inventions then practice moves in the dojo. Leonardo, forest green and a blue bandanna, stood up and stretched his arms as far as he could.

"That will be the last time I sleep on the couch with Raph and Casey" he announced groggily. He was the well-rounded leader of the group, most of the time he was serious, but lately he's trying to lighten up. Raph, the emerald one with the red bandana, is usually butting heads with him. He was always hot tempered, but was actually a good guy when he's cooled off.

"So what's the plan for tonight gents and Madame?" Mikey had asked the gang.

"Mikey, we have to head back home for training" Leo had replied. Mikeys playful grin had then turned into a disappointed pout.

"Listen to fearless mike, if ya know what's good for ya" Raph replied with a smirk in his voice.

This didn't amuse Leonardo. Casey had finally woken up, because of the bickering brothers.

"Don't tell me you guys are gonna start fighting?" Raph and Leo shared a quick glance at each other.

"Nope, just havin a conversation" Raph replied. Mikey quickly grabbed hold of the remote and turned on the TV.

"Mikey, not cartoons again" Donatello groaned. Mikey ignored his comment and flipped through the channels. April listened intently as she washed the dishes.

-Today, the major had her first Bank robbers today dressed as women, and the O'Neil Murder Case- Aprils eyes widened.

"MIKEY, GO BACK!" She cried. Mikey surprised, he did as he was told.

-Last night, Husband Anthony O'Neil, director of O'Neil Inc. was found dead today, along with his wife Catharine O'Neil, former model and a fashion icon of the modern world. They were found in their home in, New York, in the countryside. Wait, yes all right, I'm also receiving word.-

April couldn't take her eyes off the screen, she knew them. The woman had these blue violet eyes, so vivid and clear, with her long light brown hair with tan skin. The man was a little older, but he had a very gentle nature, especially in his brown eyes, and his brown hair blended with his glasses. "Uh, you okay babe?" Casey asked concerned. "S-she's my cousin Catharine, we used to hang out together when she was in high school. T-this.."

-It has just been confirmed that there was a third murder case, but the body has not been found. The man turned and nods to another member. Yes, a third member has been confirmed, a young girl, Ellie Samantha O'Neil. The man's face softens. Um, here's a picture-

A picture popped up on the screen, a young girl with light brown hair and bangs, framing her face. Her tan skin helped her jade emerald eyes pop, and her smile, above all else, seemed angelic.

"N-no" April murmured as she began to tear up.

"Babe?" Casey left his spot and rubs her shoulders gently.

"She's my cousin's kid, she's only a baby w-" she began sobbing. Casey embraced her tenderly, his eyes glued at the screen, looking at the unknown girl. April sobbed, each word Ellie, Ellie, Ellie

At Saint Rumford's Hospital

The hospital was overrun with patients, but it was one of their better mornings. One of the top nurses, and special assistant, Annie had kept a special eye on a late night visitor. She entered a room, which was off limits to other employees. She smiled softly at the patient.

"Ellie? Wake up sweetie" she said placing her hand on her shoulder.

Ellie opened her eyes to see the familiar brunette before her. "Did you get even paler?" She said jokingly. Annie shrugged.

"Come on sweetie, you're already patched up, Doc and I can only hold you here for so long"

Ellie got up and grabbed her clothes, only to carry the tattered remains. Annie held up a bag.

"Tyler and Erol had already left these for you to change into, just be careful so that no one will spot you, okay?"

Ellie had snapped her fingers, and with a small light, had changed into her disguise.

"I promise Ann" Annie wasn't convinced. "Please sweetie, just be careful, and don't do anything reckless, until the stitches go away"

Ellie looked at her pleading eyes, she didn't know what would happen after she left.

"I can't promise you that" she said honestly. Annie sighed.

"I knew you were going to say that" Ellie smiled in response.

"Just, be careful!" Annie added, handing over Ellies red cap. Ellie gave a slight gesture and left the room.

Ellie walked the streets of Soho. Okay Ellie, now what to do next. She then hid herself in an alleyway and reviewed her options. Okay, I need to go to school, and continue my education. So I cant live with anyone outside of New York. Wait! April lives around here but where was that again? She gripped her head in frustration.

"Okay, I can do this" closing her eyes, she tried soul grasping. In a way, it helped her find things or people that were lost, or it can find people mostly. It's as if she flew over New York, it dropped her way down to an apartment building. Her gaze turned t the woman sobbing on the couch she parted her face from her hands. APRIL! Her mind flew back to her.

"Okay April, I'm on my way!"
