"Dani! Dani, come back!" but the girl ignored the cries for her to return as she ran through the dark cold alleyways.
The two men heaved, taking a breath as one grabbed the other's shoulder. "This kid is fast!" he breathed. "If I ever do catch her, I'm not wasting my time. She's dead!" he managed, taking another deep breath and running down the alley. He ran over a man hole, as did the other man, never really thinking that she could have lost them there.
Danielle looked down the long tunnel, looking down at the sewage running by her feet. She grabbed a hair tie, pulling her auburn hair up in a pony tail. Her green eyes scanned the tunnels for any movement as she tugged at her shirt nervously. No other eleven year old she knew had ever had the guts to venture into these sewers, as far as she knew. As she walked down, she came upon a door. As she pressed her ear against it, she actually heard voices. An old voice, and 4 younger sounding, not her age of course, but maybe late twenties.
As she pressed against the door, trying to hear better, the door fell in.
"Hey!" came a rough voice and she looked up to a life sized... turtle! She rubbed her eyes. Yup, this was a life sized turtle, holding two sai, glaring at her behind a red mask.
"Raph, come on, ease up!" came a calmer voice, and she looked over to another turtle, wearing a blue mask, trying to lower the red masked one's arms.
"She's an intruder, Leo!" the red masked one, who seemed to be named Raph, yelled at the other.
"And she's like nine! I doubt the foot is recruiting nine year olds, even if they are still out there." Leo said, and finally Raph lowered his guard. She quivered, wishing the two men had caught her instead.
"Actually, eleven. I'm eleven." her voice shook uncontrollably and she cleared it, trying not to be so frightened. But how could she not. She didn't feel safe anywhere after the day... correction, week she had had.
"Don't be afraid little dudette! He's just a little... testy." came an orange masked turtle around the other two. "Like, what's your name?" he asked, turning his attention back to her.
"Oh, it's..." she couldn't say her real name, Danielle. What if they knew about the other guys or were working for Gerald. Oh, the thought made her cringe.
"Well?" asked a purple masked turtle, popping up randomly.
"Boys, boys. Back up and give the young one room." came an old call and they all parted so she could see a rat sitting in a recliner.
"It's..." and suddenly, she knew it. The name she had always wanted ever since she had been given the hideous name, she thought, Danielle. "Jasmine." she muttered.
"And how is it that you came to be in the sewers, Jasmine?" asked Splinter, almost seeming to have an edge to his voice when he said her name.
"I always wondered what was in these holes in the ground. Well, now I know." she said, motioning around her to them.
"And I suppose you would like to know how we got here as well..." splinter said, beginning the story the turtles knew oh so well, with Mikey putting in his input as he always did.
"And with an old Renaissance art book I found in a storm drain. I gave them all names..." he looked to the turtles.
"Oh, um... I'm Leonardo." said the one with the blue mask.
"I'm Michelangelo." said the orange masked one.
"Donatello." the purple masked one said simply.
"And Raphael." said the one in the red mask. "Sorry bout earlier kid." he said afterward.
"Like I said, he's a bit testy." Michelangelo joked.
"So, Jasmine, where do you live?" asked Donatello asked.
"Oh, um... I'm sort of on the streets." she muttered.
"You're not an orphan, are ya?" Leo gasped. She only nodded, looking down.
"What happened?" asked Mikey.
"Mikey! Really?" Donnie said, elbowing him.
"What?" he asked. "I wanna know."
"Curiosity killed the cat, Mikey." Donnie said.
"If you haven't noticed, I don't have any fur or meow randomly." said Mikey.
"Yes, but he still lands on his feet like a cat." said Raph, snickering.
"Yeah, and you hiss like a cat!" Mikey shot the joke back laughing. good she thought. they're on a different subject now
"Kids." muttered the rat, and the turtles all looked up at their master. '
"Mmm, well I don't know about you guys but I could really go for a slice of-"
"Pizza?" came a call behind them, and the aroma of pizza filtered through the room as a woman with red hair walked in.
"April!" they all chimed, running and hugging her.
"Well, I see I'm not the first human down here." Jasmine muttered smiling at the turtles.
"Yeah, well, you see the story is simple. Raph liked her, followed her, jumped her in a subway and brought her here."
"That is not what happened!" Raph argued against Mikey.
"Actually, Mikey, if I remember correctly, which I should, Raph saved me after I was jumped by the foot." April clarified.
there's that clan again! Oh, she despised it. But what could she do, tell them she knew they were still operating, that she knew who was operating it. No, she decided. It was too risky with the lies she had already told them. Her name was no longer Danielle Ravens. And Gerald Ravens was not her father.
Alright, I'd like some feedback on this and let me know if any of them got out of character... also, sorry if she doesn't sound like an eleven year old... just think of it this way... she has to be mature for her age from what she's witnessed.
random fan: But what has she witnessed!
Oh, you'll see, random fan! You'll see... mwahahahahahahaha!
Also, like to thank IceCreamPopStar for giving me this idea... if you haven't read her story Ninja Daddy's, it's a must read... and she kinda gave me the idea... so thank you!
