TMNT

It was a clear summer night when my life reached a turning point, which changed it forever

. It was about 2am when I was roaming the streets of Bronx, I know what your thinking

"Why the HELL would a 19 year old be walking the streets this late" well to be honest I was going home

. You see I am an orphan and I'm just returning from the homeless shelter with new clothes I was hoping for a place to spend the night, but I was wrong. I gazed up into the sky and let out a sorrowful sigh the sky was empty not a moon or cloud or star in sight.

I gazed over the flickering streetlights when something caught my attention across the street stood the 1 thing I hated the most

"PURPLE DRAGONS!" I hissed angrily under my breath, the Purple Dragons were the most hated and dangerous gang in the east side. "What are they doing over there?" I asked myself as I his behind a car and glanced over at 7 dragons surrounding an armoured van. All holding some kind of machine gun they were waiting for something or someone to come.

Curious I decided to try and get a better look, I silently crept closer avoiding their gaze.

But that's when it went wrong. It had been raining heavily earlier and there were puddles in the area. SPLASH, a car went zooming past me and went through a huge puddle. "Hey what the…? Over there" A scary looking man with a dragon tattoo on his face pointed over at me " Grab her! She seen too much" I gasped as the 7 dragons approached me. I quickly turned and started running in the other direction as I heard them follow but some got in the armoured van. I turned down a narrow alleyway " oh shit" I gasped it was a dead end. I panicked as I heard them get closer looking for any means of escape I glanced down and saw a manhole. Without a 2nd thought I jumped down and landed up to my knees in water " must be the rain " I whispered to myself " yo boss where'd she go?" I crossed my fingers hoping they'd move on but I was wrong as I heard a rough voice reply "DOWN THERE " as a shadow covered the manhole that was my queue to run.

I took off like a dart turning the corners and getting lost in the underground maze but unfortunately I heard their footsteps getting closer. I kept going but came to a halt when I realised I came to where all the sewage went down in a spiralling whirlpool I looked over the edge to see a small pipe. Realising I have nothing to lose I jumped over grasping the cold metal with my arm I slowly moved across using the little upper body strength I had. When I was close enough I swung myself to the ledge stumbling a little I realised why I was there in the 1st place and started to run again when I tripped on something metal and hard. I let out a cry of pain when I landed on the ground my ankle was broken and bleeding badly. Hearing voices I used my hands to drag myself along the concrete floor when I grabbed a massive leather shoe.

I paled as I slowly rose my head to see a ticked off huge blonde haired man with a scar across his cheek " you know I think you seen something you shouldn't have " he approached me and cracked his knuckles and smirked evilly " we must fix that" without warning I felt a heavy blow to my face which sent me flying into the wall .The man stood there smiling devilishly at me as the purple dragons came behind him "finish her off, I'm too important to be down here" he yelled as he took off.

I lay on the ground as I felt the warm blood running down the side of my face I slowly raised my head still throbbing from the blow and turned pale as the dragons pulled out knives, chains and crowbars. Then suddenly we heard a strong but calm voice from the shadows "I suggest you purple dragons back off, if you know what's good for you" the dragons looked around but I fell unconscious losing too much blood between my foot and my head

I was awoken by the same voice "are you okay miss?" I groaned out in pain as I glanced up and saw a human sized turtle wearing a blue bandana holding 2 swords he was looking concerned I opened my mouth to say yes but a sudden wave of pain came through my leg. I cried in pain curled into a ball and held it. The turtle came closer and lifted me up " I'll take you to my master he can help your leg" I felt safe as his voice soothed me " thank you" I smiled. He gave a friendly smirk in response " by the way my names Ava" I whispered as sudden darkness came over me.
