Prologue

A/N: You need to in case you haven't read Tail of Two Rats, you need to read it to know how these two met and Yumiko's description, read the first story!

Dark ominous clouds rumbled over the stormy sea, the blackness engulfed everything in sight. Winds picked up in velocity churning the murky waters turning it into a violent tempest swirling it with a fierce malevolence. Lightning streaked across the sky and sizzled like a thousand firecrackers.

A little boat was tossed to and fro with colossal waves slamming it from side to side as if attempting to send it into the deepest depths of the watery grave.

Three people were in it and a hooded lady held onto two girls with all her might. Rain pelted them like stones and the cold water splashed on their bodies feeling its icy burn. Still she held onto them shaking in terror.

She looked around at the spinning void, each wave that rose and splashed against the boat immediately morphed into giant black claws trying to rake them in. The typhoon clouds above were angry and menacing monsters looking down on them, their hollow eyes burrowed down on the three castaways laughing at their pain.

Her eyes then turned to face the maelstrom. A giant tsunami rose from the abyss as a silent as a killer but with each momentum it grew, it slowly was coming to its full power. It slowly took the form of a monstrous shadow, the black mass towered above them with poisonous red eyes it let out a sickening laugh.

It then dove down with incredible speed swallowing them whole, she screamed as the boat was torn apart into little planks of wood. The girls cried out as the claws grabbed and pulled them into the darkness.

No give them back! She yelled, but no words came out. She tried to take their hands and yank them, but it was too late as they quickly disappeared. She tried to swim her way up, but she didn't know which way was up or down as she hurtled and tumbled in the void. Then she landed somewhere, she opened her eyes to find light glaring down on her. She tried to move but her arms and legs were strapped down to the table and a lamp shining above, she struggled helplessly to break free. There was a reeking smell of blood filled her nostrils and the scent of expensive sherry wine. The familiar scent hit her hard in the gut, at in instant she knew where she was.

"It's okay little one. Don't move and this will all go easy." A shadowlike phantasm glided and loomed over her. Her eyes widened, something gleamed its hand; a scalpel!

The person came closer to the light revealing the enemy's face. He wore a sickening smirk on with the most sadistic look in his eyes. Her blood went cold in terror.

NO! No you just can't be! The man was Frost himself.

She watched as the blade headed to her abdomen followed by a needle. She felt the cold metal pierce her skin and slice her belly open, she cried out, but no sound was made as the needle slid into her organ pumping a burning fluid. Tears slid down her face, series of echoes and cries whirled in vertigo, and she couldn't see their faces, except hear their tormented pleas for help. A searing pain flooded her veins, her skin felt like it was lit on fire and there was no way of putting it out. She writhed and twisted, but the binds held her hands from wanting to claw at herself from this unbearable agony. She was once again in hell, a cruel laugh resonated around, and there was nobody to save her.

The dark shadowy phantoms rose from every side mocking her anguish, the sinister laughs and cries were warped into nothing but an inhuman sound. They swirled and swirled all around like some demonic carousel until they transformed into one giant monster. It lifted one hand and grabbed her from the table slowly starting to crush her, she frantically gasped for air not knowing how much more she could take of this everlasting torment. Oh how she wanted death to come and claim her.

Then without warning, pain had left her body, she felt her body slowly rise to the air, and someone hold her hand. Was her desire to die granted?

"Yumiko…you're alright." A voice said.

She heard that voice before, it sounded so familiar, so soothing. Her eyes opened to find that she was above the whitest clouds and in the blue sky and two blazing onyx eyes looked back at her.

In front of her was none other than Splinter.

Yumiko woke up from the couch sweating profusely, she had the most terrible nightmare. Her heart raced rapidly in her chest, tears sprang from her eyes recalling the visions she saw, and she could still hear the laughs echo in the back of her mind like an evil spirit, all of it felt too vivid. The horrible memories of the past still haunted her every night, making her bolt out of the bed screaming. But the last thing that baffled her most, at the end of the dream, Splinter had appeared and taken her away from all of it.

"Damn Splinter!" she cursed trembling still remembering his onyx eyes, the thought of it just made her heart melt, it took her mind away from the lurid dream she just had. She took off the locket around her neck she had stolen from Splinter five months ago and gazed at it. It sparkled and gleamed with glamorous radiance.

He said it had belonged to his Master Yoshi and it was precious to him, she promised to give it back to him but cheated the bet and ended up keeping it. After all, it reminded her of the same locket that her Master had kept a long time ago, it made her feel closer to her after being separated.

Yumiko…. Splinter's voice trailed off in her head. She growled again, why can't she take him off her mind?

She threw a pillow across the room, "it just can't be…" she sighed looking over to a picture of Mimi and her friends.

"Oh Mimi, I just can't be with you if it means being close to him." She said before slapping a pillow to her face.
