TMNT: Family

Chapter 1

Her breathe was quick and she struggled to keep her pace up, she had been trained in the art of ninjutsu and had done heavy workouts but she felt as though she hadn't taken a break at all right now. For every step she took she hoped that her legs would keep going and carry her to safety. As she peered quickly behind her she saw purple dragons chasing her down, they were big brutes but they were slowly closing in on her. Her heart was racing and all she could hear was its constant thudding in her chest, her muscles ached and she could taste blood in her mouth from where the purple dragons got some lucky shots.

The street didn't seem to end and there was no decent place for her to hide, where ever she would go they would follow and undoubtedly find her. She wanted to just turn and fight them all but immediately she knew that she couldn't take them all down. How she wished that she was at home snuggled in her warm comfortable bed even that was rare for her as she lived with her constantly drunk father. Shaking her horrible excuse for a home from her mind the teenage girl saw a fire escape ahead and as ran towards it she lifted her bruised arms up to grab the bars and pulled herself up.

There was no rest once she had made it off the street because the purple dragons were still following her and were trying to climb up too. So she took a deep breath and ran up the metal steps to the roof where she stood hunched over hoping to catch her breath from all the running. After a minute or two she heard rough voices behind her and automatically knew it was them.

"For thick headed criminals you guys are sure quick on your feet when you want to be" she insulted

It was obvious that they hadn't come to talk or to hear her throw insults at them, instantly one charged at her and as if it was a reflex she turned on one foot while lifting and swing her other foot around until it collided with the man's face which made him groan in pain and fall backwards on to the ground. She smirked as two more came at her and all she did as they charged and raised there torture weapons was jump out of the way. Both of them crashed in to each other and fell to the floor unconscious. The final purple dragon stood there thinking about his attack and waited for the teenager in front of him to make the first move, just then she charged at him and laid a punch on to his face. She kept throwing punches and kicks but all he did was evade her attacks until he saw his opportune moment and punched her in the stomach making the girl back away from him.

"This is what you get for being on our territory and not paying" he laughed

She gave him a small glare before he approached her again to punch her again but she quickly kicked him between the legs and backed off smiling.

"And to do that I didn't need to learn ninjutsu"

She turned around about to run off when she banged in to something big and hard, to her it was like she had run in to a brick wall but after falling to the floor holding her head she looked up to see a large muscular man with a purple dragon tattoo on one arm and on the other some other tattoo in red. He also had a scar on his face which made him more terrifying as it looked as if he had been scratched pretty hard and deep in to his face. He looked down on her with disgust especially that his men had been defeated by a small teenage girl.

"You think that you won't go unpunished? Think again…"

"Who are you?"

"My name will haunt you forever if I decide to let you live" He grabs her arm and crushes it slightly lifting her up to his eye level "I am Hun"

The girl cried out in pain at the pressure on her arm, she thought that there couldn't be anything worse than that pain but she was wrong. Hun continuously punched her stomach until his final blow he landed on her face which he then released her for and she was push by the momentum on the punch to wall on the other side of the roof, she lay there unconscious battered and bruised. Hun approached her as the other purple dragons stood up looking at their boss and the unconscious girl. He then started kicking her whilst listening to her painful screams.

The others looked on as if they were watching the most beautiful thing they had ever seen when the one furthest away was kicked to the floor and everyone turned to see four figures in the shadows.

"My night is getting better and better, first I teach this girl a lesson and then I'll teach you turtles" he smiled

Hun crept towards them cracking his knuckles. Each other the figures spread themselves out. The opened her eyes slightly trying to wake herself up but she was in so much pain and all she could make out were blurs. She tried to focus on the figures that seemed to have come to help her two of them were fighting the purple dragons while the other two were fighting Hun. She tried to open her eyes more and push herself up but she could only manage to lean against the small wall, she felt so weak and helpless.

She still tried to focus on the four figures but she could still see blurs. Just then the purple dragons were down and two of the figures came close to her, one of them seemed to look at her as though he was amazed by her, she could just make out an orange band around his head. The other checked over her bruises and had a purple band around his head. He then looked at her directly and could see that she was fighting to stay awake.

"Don't fight the need to stay awake you need to rest." He said softly

Just then the other two joined.

"We need to get outta here Hun won't stay down for long"

Suddenly one of them that had a blue band around his head gently put his arms around her and lifted her up bridal style, she let her body's weight dangle and lean against him as she fell into the darkness.

They all retreated into the sewer, Leonardo carrying the unconscious girl in his arms and for some reason he liked the feeling of having a person in his arms that he felt that he needed to protect. Donnie led the way through the sewer when they came to a tunnel that led to a dead end. He reached up and pulled down a lever that unlocked a key pad, after putting in the passcode the wall lifted as well as the security locks and their lair was revealed to them.

Immediately Leo, Donnie and Mikey went to the lab but Raph went straight to his room. Leonardo placed the girl down on the table Donnie had. Mikey grabbed a cushion from the living room and put it under her head.

"Gosh she's so hot" he laughed

Leo gave his younger brother a roll of his eyes and then looked back at the girl

"Is she going to be okay Donnie?"

It took a few moments before he replied "It looks as though her left arm is broken and she has a lot of bruises that will hurt her for a while but apart from that she will be fine. Mikey get some water"

Mikey did as commanded and went to get a bucket of water. Leo waited for Mikey to return before he started to clean her arms and face. Donatello bandaged her up and placed a blanket over her.

"I've done all I can for her now, she needs to rest"

They all then walked out of the lab, Leo went to sit on the floor of the main room while the other two went towards their bedrooms so that they could rest after the night's events. Leo kneeled there, his eyes closed and breathing paced, he was in deep thought of how Hun had treated the girl on the roof that night.
