Lurking in the Darkness

Ch. 1

"Innocence Attacked"

Amethyst is a nineteen-year-old teenage girl that happens to be Angel's cousin. She is about five foot three inches, her hair is long down to her back and very wavy either in a ponytail or half ponytail. Her eyes are magenta, and she has olive skin. Today was her first day since she moved from Massachusetts to New York so she could get away from her mother's abusive new husband.

As the girls were walking another friend of Angel's called to them.

"Hey Angel wait up; where you off to you're acting like you are running from something."

Angel tapped her cousin.

"Ame wait up that's my friend Osono. I have two other friends that I want you to meet but they won't be off until Saturday."

They both stopped; and a girl about 5'5 approached them with tan long hair that almost reached to her backside. She had periwinkle eyes in jean shorts and an orange tank top with her matching jordans. The three girls walked toward an antique shop that was owned by Angel's cousin Casey's girlfriend April O'Neil.

She looked up and signaled Angel to the back for a minute. Angel looked around and told them.

"Okay you two I'll be right back; April has something to tell me just wait here and browse."

They both nodded as Angel and April disappeared to the back.

~In the storage room~

April turned to her.

"That was wise for Leo to call you; I hope everyone is okay. Your cousin seems like a really nice girl and so does Osono. Let's hope we hear from them soon. You have no idea how scared I was when Karai threw that sign at me looking for Leonardo."

Angel sighed.

"Who else would he call April; they were watching your shop because they thought he would contact you. Boy were they wrong; it was just good to hear Leo's voice after almost three months he was away. Let's just hope the others are okay and that Karai is really lying about their demise."

April nodded.

"Yes I hope so too Angel; go on then but be careful the foot is still at large."

~Back at the new lair~

Leonardo made sure his father and his brothers were safe and made his way to go see Karai. He got inside unnoticed and sat in the shadows with his eyes slanted in anger. Karai was staring at her father's statue and felt a presence. Before she knew it he threw the sign that once hung in the lair.

"Hello Karai; I got your message!"

She put on the mask and took out her father's sword saying.

"The security around here has been very tight and here you are. Now tonight I will avenge my father by destroying you Leonardo!"

He unsheathed his katana and lunged for her and they fought as their katana clashed. She continued to fight him and he slanted his eyes more as they continued to fight.

"When we first met Karai; we fought side by side. I told you that you were nothing like your father and thought you had honor. I was wrong you understood nothing and still don't. Now you have gone too far this time Karai!"

He used his katana and sliced her mask in four pieces. When she went to grab the foot com he used his katana and sliced it in half. Then he ended up behind her and used his katana very close to her neck causing her to go on her knees.

"Go on and Finish me!"

He shook his head.

"No, Karai I am giving you one last chance to do the right thing. Don't waste it!"

She nodded and was a little scared. Then he picked up her father's sword and jumped up cutting off the head of the Oroku Saki statue.

"And Karai, Stay away from my family!"

The sword went up and landed on the floor straight up in front of Karai's face as he disappeared into the shadows back to his family. He made his way back to the new lair and threw the Chinese food at his brothers and went by Master Splinter. He handed him the new walking stick he got for him and bowed.

"This walking stick is said to come from an ancient tree since your old one was destroyed. I got it with the Ancient One."

Master Splinter smiled.

"A very gracious gift; I know I have my son back welcome home Leonardo. "

He smiled back as they all went to sleep after the long day they all had.

The next day Angel and Amethyst went to meet Osono to go hang out. They all enjoyed a picnic, and some must needed time at the gym. Around 1030 the three girls left the gym and walked home. Behind them they heard clubs; and chains. They all gulped as they continued to walk back to Angel's and were surrounded by Hun and his Purple Dragons. Angel went to grab her shell cell and noticed that she left it at her grandma's house. She gulped as they closed in on them. Hun targeted Amethyst while the others went after Angel and Osono.

She ran away but he cornered her and knocked her to the floor. She fought him off as he went down trying to undo her jeans.

~Above~

Leonardo was training his brothers when he heard Angel yelling for help. He and his brothers jumped down and took out the other dragons attacking Angel and Osono. She sighed with relief, but heard her cousin screaming. She turned to Leonardo.

"Leo my cousin is being attacked by Hun; I can't believe I left my shell cell at the house. Please don't kill me I'll never forget it again. Please just save my cousin."

He slanted his eyes in anger and followed Amethyst's screams. Then he jumped down and kicked Hun into the wall. He looked at him.

"You again freak! Mind your own business this does not concern you!"

Leonardo jumped up and came down as Hun tried to get back up and attack Amethyst again.

"Leave her alone Purple Dragon scum; can't you see she isn't interested. When a low life jerk like you attacks an innocent teenager it is my business now back the hell off her or I will make you Hun!"

Hun laughed as he lunged for Leonardo. Leonardo grabbed his arm and threw him across the lot making him hit the wall and be knocked out. Amethyst looked up and saw a blue headband blowing in the night wind. Then she passed out and Leonardo caught her before she hit her head. He picked up his shell cell and called Raphael.

Raphael heard his shell cell ringing and picked up.

'Yo Leo; where the hell are you? Is Angel's cousin okay? You want to what; have you lost your mind bro? '

Leonardo yelled into his shell cell.

'No Raph; I haven't lost my mind. She is out cold what the hell am I supposed to do? Well leave her here!'

He sighed.

'Fine Leo; you just better hope she doesn't wake up and see you bro! I'll call April and tell her that she is expecting you with Angel's cousin Amethyst.'

Leonardo picked up the unconscious teenage girl and made his way to April and Casey's place. April let him in and asked.

"What happened to her Leo? She was attacked by Hun; oh no is she okay?"

He nodded.

"Yes April she is fine; I got to her in time. Let me know when she wakes up; and yes April my family is still alive. I found them scattered all over the city; and also fought Karai and broke it off with her finally. Hopefully that is the last we heard of her; but I highly doubt it. "

Casey looked at him dumbfounded.

"You were with Karai Leo; you got to be kidding me!"

He sighed.

"Yes I was stupid to think that she was nothing like her dishonorable father; but I learned my lesson. Okay let's not speak about that again. It's just good to be home with my family and friends again. See you April and Casey."

~Where the brothers were waiting~

Leonardo flipped down and nodded to Angel. Osono was still in shock from seeing a red headband flying in the wind and couldn't speak. She heard voices and fainted. Angel shook her head and sighed.

"You four should be getting out of here. Thank you for being around."
