Quick chapter to a new story before I go to class
Chapter 1
? POV
I stood up on a water tower looking over the city, watching as fully grown men with tranquilizer dart guns searched through the dark, garbage strewn alley ways for anything that moved, specifically mutants, like me. These guys were decked out in some pretty thick, dark red body armor and they probably had some hidden weaponry on them. Nothing that I can't handle.
Right now you may be thinking, trying to guess what kind of mutant I am. Well, you're just gonna have to wait to find that out. I ended up getting mutated with my mother, father and three brothers when I was really young. We went swimming in a watering hole to cool off. What we didn't know was that it was apparently contaminated with some kind of mutagen. The next thing we knew we were walking, talking and acting like the humans were. It was definitely a strange experience, but despite everything that happened to us, we got through it as a family. Man, I really miss them.
A low, guttural growl escaped me. Gianna will pay for what she did to me and my family, and I'm the one that's going make her pay even if it killed me. For now, however, I will take care of these people below me. Knocking them out would be too easy, but I'm not one for killing unless I absolutely have to. Sometimes it's something I regret, but I gotta seem like I'm somewhat humane even if humans don't think we are.
I jumped off the water tower landing lightly on all four paws on the rooftop below. My green eyes scanned the alley making sure there weren't others besides the four that were making their way deeper into the darkness. Oh, how I enjoy stalking my prey. I jumped right off the roof and pounced on the first one.
The hunter just became the hunted.
This was gonna be fun.

Leo's POV
My eyes snapped open after another failed attempt at meditating. For some reason, I just couldn't focus. I let out a frustrated sigh and stood up. Why can't I focus? I shook my head and ran a hand down my face. Deciding not to think into it too much, I left the room and headed toward the kitchen to make some tea to calm my nerves. Splinter was in there doing just that.
"Hello my son." he greeted.
"Hey." I said and sat down at the table.
"Something troubling you?" Splinter asked sitting next me.
"Nah, just a little out of it I guess. I feel like…" I trailed off.
"Like what?" Splinter urged.
"Like things are about to change around here."
"Well, my son, change can be good." Splinter tried.
I chuckled lightly. "Yeah, but with our luck it won't be good." way to think positive Leo.
"Do not think so much into this. When the time comes we will be ready to face whatever comes our way." he reassured me.
I nodded. "You're right and I won't."
The teapot on the stove whistled signaling that the tea was finished.
"Tea?" Sensei offered.
"Please and thank you."
Splinter poured the hot dark colored water into two tea cups and handed one to me. "Thanks." I stood up and walked out to the living room where Raph was sitting, watching TV.
"Hey Raph, why don't we go out for a run later?" I asked since I knew he was probably gonna go out anyway.
"Uh… sure I guess." Raph shrugged.
"Cool, I'll go get the others."
Now it's not every day that I actually want to go topside for anything other than a training run, or a patrol, but something was eating at him and maybe going to the surface could help clear his head.
