Mavis's POV
It had all been a trick. Johnny had tricked us all.
It turned out that Johnny was a monster hunter and had tried to kill me. He didn't succeed in killing me, but he'd wiped out everyone I cared about.
When he'd tried to attack me, we'd been in New York City. He'd pulled me into a nearby alley and was about to kill me, but I struggled against him, forcing him to knock me out.
I have no idea what happened after I lost conciousness, but I'd felt like I was being carried.
When I woke up, it was late in the afternoon. I could tell from the rays of light coming from the window, almost touching me.
I got out of the bed and made my way to what seemed to be the kitchen, without letting any rays of light touch my skin.
When I got to the kitchen, I saw a girl with orange hair preparing some food. She turned to get something out of the fridge when she saw me.
"Hey there, I didn't hear you get up. Want some breakfast?" The girl asked. I nodded my head and she started preparing me some food too.
She looked like she was my age, minus 100 years. I had wondered if she was the one who had saved me.
"Excuse me, do you know what happened to me last night?" I asked, wanting to know what had happened.
"You were being attacked by some guy, but my friend saved you and brought you to my place to rest." She said. So, she hadn't saved me, but her friend had.
I stood there thinking about last night's events when the girl placed a plate on the table in front of me.
"Thank you, my name's Mavis by the way." I said, hoping to learn her name in return.
"Your welcome, my name's April. So, are you new in town? I've never seen you before." She asked. I felt like I could trust this girl, but I wasn't sure if I should tell her the truth.
So, I didn't.
"Yeah, I just moved here from Transylvania." I said.
"That's pretty cool. So, I was wondering if you'd like to meet my friend? The one that saved you." She asked.
I did want to meet this guy, so I told her I'd love to. When, she said we'd have to go outside, I panicked.
I tried to find an umbrella or something before going outside, I found one, but April was looking at me funny.
She just shrugged her shoulders and went left her apartment.
We went to a nearby alley and she started going into the sewers. I followed her, covering the hole to the sewers back up.
There wasn't any sunlight down there, so I closed my umbrella. I wondered why her firend would be living in the sewers, but didn't want to ask, so I kept my mouth shut.
About 20 minutes later, we arrived at, what looked like, a little home inside the sewers.
She shouted some names and went to sit on the nearby couch. I joined her on the couch, examining the rest of the room.
I heard some shouts and footsteps coming our way. I figured that must be her friend, but since it sounded like more than one person, that she had a few friends living down here.
What I saw next, I hadn't been preparing for. Instead of seeing other humans like April, I saw four turtles.
They were a little bit taller than me and they could talk. They were wearing masks, each turtle wearing a different color.
They noticed April and then, they noticed me. They seemed shocked that I was here.
Just then, a rat taller than the turtles entered the room. I knew who he was. My father had met him before.
His name was Hamato Yoshi, otherwise know as Splinter.
He noticed me sitting on the couch and rushed over there. He started asking me questions.
"Mavis, is that you?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's me. Hey there, Splinter." I said, giving him a wave.
"What are you doing so far from home?" He asked, his voice laced with worry.
"It's a long story." I said. He raised his eyebrows, expecting me to tell the story.
I let out a sigh and proceeded to tell him everything that had happened within the last few weeks.
When I finished my story, Splinter looked at the four turtles.
"Which one of you saved her?" He asked. The one wearing the purple mask stepped up.
He was cute.
"It was me Sensei, I saved her." He said. He had a nice voice, I savored every word he spoke.
"Very good Donatello, this young lady is very important." He said.
"You're welcome Sensei, but who is she?" The turtle, Donatello asked.
"She is the daughter of Count Dracula, an old friend of mine." Splinter explained, his news shocking everyone in the room.
"She's the daughter of Dracula!?" Everyone screamed, but they screamed it in surprise not fear. I could tell the difference.
"Yeah, I am." I said, smiling at them.
After I confirmed my identity, all of them calmed down and introduced themselves.
"Hi, my name is Leonardo, nice to meet you." Leonardo shook my hand. He seemed nice, but a little too mature.
"Hey there, my name's Michaelangelo, but you can call me Mikey." The one wearing the orange mask said. Mikey was definitely the fun one of the group, I could tell by his laid back personality.
"Hey, my name's Raphael but everyone calls me Raph." The one wearing red said. Raph was the cool guy of their group, that much was obvious.
That left.
"Hi, my name's Donatello, but you can call me Donnie. Everyone else does." He said. The tone of his voice implied he was nervous, but I was too.
"Hi, I'm Mavis." I stuck out my had for him to shake. We made eye contact and I automatically felt a connection.
My mom had said that a zing only came once in your life, but maybe that wasn't true. Either that or Johnny hadn't been my zing.
They boys ordered a pizza, making sure there was no garlic on it, and April went to get it.
Splinter told me I would be staying with him and the boys from now on. I had no problems with that, it gave me a chance to get to know Donatello better.
They boys were only allowed to go out at night, so I would be going with them. I had to stay with one of them at all times, in case Johnny tried to attack me again.
The sun was almost down, so we'd leave after we ate.
They had ordered 3 differet pizzas. One pepperoni, one sausage, and one bacon.
I grabbed a slice of the bacon pizza, my hand accidentally brushing Donatello's. We pulled our hands away and he gestured for me to get the first slice.
I had never eaten pizza, but had always wanted to. When I took my first bite, I fell in love with pizza.
It was so good, but I wasn't going to pig out. I grabbed on more slice, finishing it within 4 minutes.
Once all of the pizza was eaten, we prepared to leave. I left April's umbrella, considering it was night so I didn't need it.
We were traveling in a group, so I knew I wouldn't be alone. They were like the city's protectors, but the city didn't know that.
Their existence was a secret to the people of New York City.
Me and Mikey were travelling in the back of the group. He was telling me a bunch of jokes. They were really funny.
We stayed out until midnight, nothing bad had happened in the city, so we returned to the sewers.
When we got back, April had set up a room for me between Mikey and Donatello's rooms before she left for her apartment.
My room was cozy, it had a bed and dressers. Seeing the dressers, I reminded myself to go out with April and buy some clothes.
Splinter came in my room minutes later, carrying a necklace of some sort.
"Here Mavis, if you're going to go into sunlight then you will need to wear this." He said, handing me the necklace.
"What is it?" I asked. I had never seen something like it, so I wondered what it does.
"It is called a bloodstone. When wearing it, it will enable you to go into the sunlight unharmed." He said. This would be so much better than carrying around an umbrella.
I hugged him and thanked him for the bloodstone before going to bed.
