Chicago. My dear Chicago. Why did I have to leave my fare city? That's right, dad. It was his idea to leave my city and go to New York. Hell must have frozen over to make him do this. But I had no choice, my brothers had to pick me up and put me in the car. Edward was 18 so he drove us there will dad drove the moving truck. I hated this. I didn't speak to my brothers unless I had to go or I was hungry. After hours of driving we made it. I look at the street I was living on, didn't like it. We help dad move our stuff into the two apartments. Edward lived next to us, just great. At least I got to pick my room and I took the master bedroom. School started Monday morning but dad had to work that night. Saturday, I decided to walk around my new city. It was nothing like Chicago and it will never will be. At lest we moved before the school year started. I'm 15 and a junior in High School. At least it wasn't a uniform. I walked down Main st. and then I turn back heading home. My hands where in my pockets of my Twilight hoodie with the hood up. 3 wannabe gangsters followed me and I had my pocket knife on me. Chicago taught me to be on guard for all kinds of creepy people out there. I walked faster into an alley, but that alley was a dead end. 'Shit!' I said under my breath. Those creeps where blocking the one of the ways out. I ran for the fire escape and climbed really fast. Well they had guns and began to open fire on me. I missed most of the shots, but one got me. It only skinned me. I made it up to the rooftops and they followed me.

"End of the line, girlly." One of them said.
"Yeah for you punks." I said pulling out my pocket knife.

I ran to them and open up a can of but kicking. When they were out cold I put my knife away. Then I heard the clicking of a gun near my head. I put my hands up, hoping not to get shot.

"Now you hurt my friends I'm going to hurt you." He said.

He snapped his fingers and two goons held my arms. He said his name was Jack. He punched me in my gut first. I closed my eyes as he punches me again. Then he stopped and the goons weren't on me. I open my eyes to see 4 green turtle dudes where beating the crude out of them. I saw 4 colors – blue, red, purple, and orange. But I was losing consciousness and quickly. Then I meet the rooftop. The last thing I saw was 4 pairs of green feet running to me and then nothing.

I was in Chicago. I ran for my old home. When I got there it was burned down. The firemen said that 4 people didn't make it. I ran to the building, not listen to the warnings from them. I saw the black skeletons in the living room. I started to cry, I didn't see that the place was coming down. I was crushed under…. I awoke from the nightmare to be on a couch. I look around to see not only 4 green dudes but a rat too. I must still be sleeping because they didn't seem real. I sat up and shook my head. I pinch myself to see if this was real and it was. I look up to see one with orange mask near me.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed back.
"Who? What? Where? Huh?" I said confused.
"That leaves when and why." The purple masked turtle said.
"Please calm down, Miss…" The rat said.
"Cynthia. Cynthia Kenta." I said introducing myself.
"Miss Kenta, I am Splinter. These are my sons." He pointed out his sons.
"I'm Leonardo or Leo." The blue masked turtle said.
"Raphael or Raph." The red masked turtle said.
"Donatello or Donny or Don." The purple masked turtle said.
"I'm Michelangelo or just Mikey." The orange masked turtle said with a smile.

After I meet them, Splinter told me their story. It was very weird but it does explain what happen to them to look like that. Donny looked at my wound after I was sure he wouldn't hurt me. I liked them but I had to go home because my family would be worry about me. They took me back home. I slide into my home by the window. I went into the kitchen and there was a note for me.

'Cynthia~
There is money for you do some shopping for yourself. Love you.
~Dad'

Just great, dad left with my brothers and me alone. The turtle dudes where in the kitchen with me. I sighed and open the envelope marked with money sign. It was a credit card that I could take money out and lots of it. I put it in my pocket and turn to the guys.

"Pizza anyone?" I said with a small smile.
"Sure." They all answered.

I made a call the pizza hut and order two large pizzas. I had enough cash on me for the pizzas. Then they came and I paid then we all enjoyed the pizzas. I sear Mikey could have eaten the whole box of pizza. And I only had what 2 slices of pizza. I cleaned up and I went to my room to get my camera. I want a pic of them so I could draw them later. Yeah, I'm an artist, but my dad doesn't think it would hold out for me. I came out to see them all asleep. I took the pics and went to closet to grab some blankets. When I came back they were gone. I saw a note from Leonardo. I read and smiled.

'Cynthia,
Thanks for the meal. See you later. Maybe you can come over and have some fun with us. Well see ya.
Leonardo.'

I thought it was cute. I went to my room after putting the blankets back. I print out the pic and took out some paper to begin drawing them. I finished drawing them. I made them human and I stared at my artwork. I look at my Irish band on my ring finger on my right hand. I made a wish, a wish to make my drawing really. I put the pic and the drawing together and went to bed. "When You Wish Upon a Star" went through my head as I fall asleep.

I awoke to my brother's rough housing. I walk into the kitchen half asleep. They were wrestling which ends with Edward winning all the time. I poor myself a bowl of cereal as I watch my brother's duke it out. Dad was gone and I remember what happen the other night. I smiled at the thought of meeting the guys again. I didn't see my brothers watching me until I scoped another spoonful of cereal.

"What?" I said with a mouthful of food.
"Who you meet yesterday?" The twins asked.
"No one." I said trying to keep my face straight.
"Alright." The twin said. "EDWARD!"

I ran for it. Of course he caught me again. I struggle from his grip. I wasn't strong enough to get out of his grip. So I said I give. I told them I made friends but when I went to get something for them they left and I couldn't find them. I got to my room. I changed into something I could ride in. I took my bike out and went out to clear my mind. I meet 4 turtle dudes and a rat sensei. How could I be dreaming it was all real? I found a way into the sewers. I jumped over the streams of water trying not to get wet. Then I heard noises. Curiosity killed the cat. Well I hope not to get killed. I rode up close enough to hide my bike then to see what was going on.

"You'll pay for that freak." A tall blonde said.

I saw blue bandana and it was Leo. I found a bat knocked out from a wannbe gangster. I hit him in the back of the head. He turns to me.

"Come on blondie lets dance." I said getting in a fighting stance.
"You pick the wrong fight girlly." He said charging at me.

I got him to follow me and away from Leo. I knocked him out with my special kick. I ran back to Leonardo. He was injured but he could hold. I walked up to him. He looked up at me.

"Thanks." He said getting up.
"No prop." I said getting his sword.

When I picked it up, a wave of my past hit me. I dropped it quickly. Leo ran to me.

"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Are you sure?" He sheathed his swords.
"Yeah. Oh no I got to go. School is tomorrow and dad will kill if I'm not home on time." I said looking at my watch.
"See you Leo." I rode off on my bike.

I made it back home before 10:00 pm. I ate dinner and went to bed. I wanted to be rested for tomorrow.
