Disclaimer: I do not own the teenage mutant ninja turtles, but I do wish I did! But I do own my own OC:s so keep your hands of them..

A/N: First of all, this is my very first fanfic (I'm quite nervous and excited at the same time to publish it.) and I hope that the first chapter is thrilling enough for you wanting a second one!
Second of all: English isn't my native language so even if I have read this chapter at least two times to correct both spelling- and grammar mistakes but there might be some left! Please try to overlook them!
And then finally: Enjoy! :D

Chapter One: Unexpected turn of event

One drop, two drops – suddenly the rain was pouring down from the sky, like the sky had cracked wide open. The few people that was out at this late hour ran with their bags over their heads, took up their hoods and pulled the jacket closer to themselves.

"Where did the rain came from?"

"Take cover here or we'll be soaking wet."

People yelled as they tried to escape the late night rain, and so did four green turtles, well, somewhat..

"We can do this either the easy or the hard way.." Raph said, walking slowly in a large circle with his older brother straight ahead, also walking slowly around, waiting for an opening.

"You better run while you still can, Raph." Leo answered with a provocative smirk on his lips.

"Guys, just if you haven't noticed but.. it's raining!" But neither Raph or Leo did as much as a blink as a reaction for Mikey's allegation and started attacking each other.

"Well, I have to agree somewhat to Mikey since these pairs of turtle-vision goggles doesn't seem to restrain water.." Donatello said, looking over the rooftops to see the change in the goggles, took them of and looked at them.

"That or they might be broken, most likely broken."

"I say that we all go back to the lair and eats some delicious pizza!" Mikey tried to persuade his brother to come along but it seemed to be hopeless in trying. Raph and Leo did nothing else than to shout out provocative words to one and another, enjoying the rain somehow, perhaps because it added some difficulty to their training. Mikey was on his way to leaving his brothers and return by himself to the lair, but saw a golden opportunity as Raph was turned with his back towards him. So Mikey jumped forward and kicked Raph in the back on his shell, causing his brother to take a step forward so that he wouldn't fall.

"What the hell Mikey are you-"

"Last turtle back to the lair hatched from a rotten egg!" He declared as he started to run over the rooftops, Leonardo and Raphael looked at each other, questioning it somehow.

"You heard him." Donnie said and placed the broken turtle-vision goggles in his bag before running after Mikey. The two remaining brothers on the roof wasn't late to start to run themselves. Mikey laughed as he thought that he would have some huge lead all the way back to the lair but was surprised as a voice sounded closer to him than what he would expect it to be.

"Don't take the win in your hands just yet Mikey." Donatello warned him as he was catching up on him.

"Like I gonna let you win Donnie!" Mikey said and tried to speed it up a little, but if they weren't careful enough they might slip on the wet concrete.

"You guys are being too slow!" Raph shouted out as he as well started to catch up on Mikey.

"How's that even possible?" Mikey shouted surprised and then suddenly, just stopped as he spotted something.

"Hey guys! Look over there!" And his brothers stopped as well, looked where Michelangelo was pointing and saw a gang of men chasing a girl down the empty street. They all sunk into the dark shadows, making them invisible and observed for a bit.

"It doesn't seem to be the foot.." Donatello said in a lower voice as his eyes followed them.

"Then who the hell are they?" Raph asked as he brought his weapons forward, then suddenly they turned and ran into an alley.

"I don't know, but we have to find that out. It might not be some regular street gang.."

"So much for Master Splinter's 'Make sure to stay out of trouble'.. " Donatello signed and they all where on the move.

'Stay focused, stay focused..' Was easier said than done while running with all your might straight in to an alley with a dead end. There where many men behind her, she knew that, but they slowed down in triumph, laughing when they all knew where this alley lead to. But Haylie was one girl that didn't see herself as defeated until she laid on the ground, not being able to move anymore. Then she saw a door at the end of the alley.

'Please be open, oh please be open!' She begged as she reached out for the handle, could swear that she was about to meet the opposite of her hopes but where surprised as the door opened up.

"What?" She could hear from over her shoulder and how they started to run again and how their laughs died. She slammed the door shut and locked it as fast as she could and immediately after they started pulling the handle.

"She locked it!" A man shouted and a sound of relief came out from her, also her face didn't seems as tense as it did for a few seconds ago.

"Kick it in!" Another man shouted back and the same face was back on hers again and she started running up the stairs, trying to think of a possibility to get away from them when standing on a rooftop. As she was almost up at the top she could hear the door break on the bottom floor and her heart started to beat faster, not only from exhaustion, and ran up the last steps before shutting the other door behind her.

'Okay, something to block it with, something heavy or..' Then trailed off as she saw a few planks laying across the roof, ran to fetch one of them and sealed the door shut with it.

"Shouldn't we jump in?" Donatello asked as they had change position, now with a clear view over the rooftop that the girl was standing on.

"It seems like she's doin' alright.." Mikey said but sounded a bit unsure.

"Yeah, for now. But when those men break the door down it won't be pretty.." Leonardo said with a most serious voice.

"So what are we waitin' for? Let's go kick some butt!" Raph suggested.

'Okay, a plan, a fast and quick escape route..' But a obvious one was no where in sight and her rushing heart didn't make the thinking process any easier. She ran to one end at the roof, trying to calculate if she was to be able to make a jump over to the other side.

'No, that's impossible.' And turned around as she could hear a man bang at the door to the roof.

'Come on, come on. THINK!' And even in her mind she sounded so desperate for a way out and looked at some other nearby buildings and noticed a fire escape at the side of one of them.

'Of course!' But at the same moment the door was kicked down and flew down on the concrete.

"Now you've really pissed me off.." One of the men said while walking slowly towards her, followed by the others.

"If you come with us without a fight I might let you go without any injuries.." Haylie looked around for some kind of weapon and saw a glimpse of a iron pipe under the pile of planks, so she hurried and picked it up.

"Come on, you might hurt yourself with that.." And he reached out for her, smack, and the end of the pipe was suddenly covered in a small amount of blood. The end of the pipe had hit his hand, probably harder than the man believed she could swing it since he didn't pulled it away. Without any warning the man took a steady grip of her collar and pulled her up so she could only stand on the tips of her toes, clenched his fist and was about to place it in her face when suddenly, he flew backwards. Haylie focused on regaining her balance, and when she looked up she saw four dark silhouette. But the shape of it didn't resemble as much of a human..

"What the hell.." Said one man in a lower voice, surprised at what stood in front of them.

"What are you freaks?" One shouted out and took out a knife that was hidden on his back.

"Your worst nightmare." Raph spoke and kicked the man holding the knife in the chest, sending him flying against the wall. The gang jumped at the turtles in attempt to get rid of them, only to be surprised that all of them where very skilled in ninjutsu, the art of self defense, as they protected both themself and the girl behind them.

Haylie was paralyzed for a moment, probably like some of the men where as well and only looked – what the hell where they? No matter how scared, fascinated or confused she might be she had to get out of there. The idea with the fire escape once again came to mind and she kept the iron pipe steady in her hand, ran for the other side of the building and looked down along the side of the wall. There it was - a fire escape with a smaller drop, perhaps around two meters long.

'It will probably hurt a bit..' She thought, knewing that her body was both wet and cold from the heavy rain and jumped up on the railing, then down at the fire escape and landed half badly.

"We got a runner!" Mikey shouted out to his brothers as he swung his nunchakus at two guys and then kicked another one behind him.

"I'm on it." Donatello said and pushed a man away with his bo staff and began to run towards the end of the roof but was then blocked by a large man who raised his fist towards him.

'A quick escape, one that..' She thought as she was on the ground again, looked at the street cap only a few meters away.

'That's right! The sewers, they'll never search for me there, it's too unpredictable." And ran for it, bent up the edge a bit with the iron pipe and then heaved it open. Just as she closed it behind her Donatello got a small glimpse where she'd disappeared to.

"She went down into the sewers!" Donnie said as the last man was knocked down by Leonardo.

"Let's go after her, it might be dangerous down there in the old part of the sewers for those who doesn't know the way." Leo said and jumped for the railing and then down at the ground.

"At least we don't have to worry about the rain!" Mikey said, somewhat happy to return underground again.

"Shut up Mikey." Raph said as they returned down to the sewers.

'Okay, it's dark down here..' She thought as she walked in a high pace forward, then slammed her lower leg into something and bit herself in the lip to prevent herself from screaming out loudly.

'REALLY dark..' She changed and continued forward. The sound of her steps in the water wasn't something she had kept in mind when jumping down here, if the men where about to follow her they would.. She suddenly stopped as she thought that she heard something. She listened carefully as the noise came again and made a run for it. She looked back now and then but couldn't see anything, looked forward again and saw that it was suddenly turning only a few meters away.

"Hey wait! Don't run in there!" A voice called out in the dark and she looked over her shoulder, her eyes flickered in the dark trying to see how far away the voice came from when suddenly the ground under her feet disappeared. There was a large cylinder shaped room of some sort where several pipes lead out to, filled with water at the bottom of it. Haylie fell towards it, screaming from the shock of suddenly falling.

It was cold, freezing cold as she hit the water hard with her back first and was swallowed by it
