Authors note: Hey everyone! Just a heads up to warn you this is my first ever fanfiction. So please go easy on me. I'm still trying to figure out all the crazy buttons. I'm not really an "electronics" type of girl. But I'll try my best to update at least twice a week, sometimes more, depending on how much homework I've got. Grade 8 really sucks. Okay, enough of my babbling. Without further ado….. Here's chapter 1 of Risking it all!

By the way. I own nothing but the plot, my OCs, and my love for these heroes in a half shell.

Chapter 1: Run

(Shay's P.O.V.)

All these thoughts, going through my 14 year old head all at once as I ran with my 5 year old brother Titan, and 10 month old sister Angelina. Running from my, once safe home. From the dead bodies of my parents that now lay on the living room floor. From the monsters who shot them! Why did my parents have to get laser blasted? Why were those matching weirdoes hunting us down in the first place? Why do they talk so funny? I asked myself while looking down at, for the millionth time, the wedding rings of my parents, that I placed on my sterling silver chain that I've had since I was 4 . The last thing they ever gave me. And why did dad give me this briefcase? Where are we supposed to go exactly? Where could we go? My Only other family members I know about are my aunt and her family. But mom said they died years ago. Why do I not have a jacket on when it's the middle of December? I mean come on! A grabbed ones for Ty and Angel, but not one for myself. Really Shay?! But the biggest question would have to be, WHY IN THE WORLD DID I RUN INTO AN ALLY! Because as soon as I went to turn and run out, I was met by 4 faces of the members of the most well known gang in Manhattan.

"Great. Just my luck. Run away from one group of creeps, just to bump into another. Stupid Purple Dragon." I grumbled under my breath, trying my best to shield the two little ones I had with me.

"Sup sweet-cheeks. How you doing? We just want those rings around your neck and your money, and we might just leave it at that." Their leader said with an wicked grin.

Yeah. Sure. I'll totally give you the only things my parents gave me before I started running for my life. Quite literally. Yeah. I don't think so buddy. Not while I'm still breathing. Witch I hope will be for a while longer. I was terrified! But of cores my mouth didn't relies that.

"Yeah, sure buddy. Right after I become the queen of a magical forest." I mentally kicked myself for that one as soon as the words leaf my mouth. Because now they pulled out weapons. And because of the baby in arm, and the 5 year old with a death grip on the other, I can't get to the ones in my back pocket. Great.

And to top it all off, Angelina thought it was the perfect time to start screaming her head off. Yeah. This is so not my night.

"Shhhhh. Angel, don't cry. It's okay. It's okay." I was trying my best to calm her down. It seemed to be working.

But it was only then that I relised that the 4 pukeing dragons stated advancing on us. So I grabbed Ty's hand, and ran deeper into the ally way. Only to be met with a dead end. Like really! A DEAD END! The universe must really hate me tonight.

And now I'm cornered. Go figure. With Ty behind my legs, shaking like a leaf and Angel with her face buried in the croc of my near, I watched wide eyed as one of the Purple Dragon raiser the pipe he had in his hand to beat the living daylights out of me. I shut my eyes as tightly as I could, waiting for the blow. But it never came. Instead all I was met with the sounds of grunts, groans, and the sounds of the gang members getting their butts handed to them. And for someone who might have gotten killed by those same gang members, it was a very pleasant sound.

When I opened my eyes, they were met by a lump of chained and beat up, pukeing dragons. Awesome! But the new question on my mind was now, who pounded these idiotic buffoons into apple sauce and totally saved Angel's life, Ty's life, and my own?! Because that person deserve a hug that could flatten a bowling ball!

And as if to answer my question, I feel a pair of eyes on me so I averted my eyes from the pile of apple sauce in front of me, and look up. Thinking it was the guy who saved me. I really wanted to thank him.

Boy was I wrong. My eyes widened at what I saw. Okay, yes, it was the person who saved me. But it was not a he, but they. And they were not people. They were giant turtles! And from the looks of it, they were ninjas? And if I know ninjas, which I do. My mom just started training a few months ago to be a kunoichi. They definitely look like ninjas with the whole weapons and bandana getup.

"You okay dudette?"The one with an orange bandana and nunchucks asked me.

THEY CAN TALK!

Okay. So here I am, standing in a corner of an ally way, next to a reeking dumpster, with a baby and a little kid, with wide eyes, a jaw that is practically touching the ground, staring at 4 giant turtle ninjas that can apparently talk!

I felt my legs start to buckle, and I started to sway. And then I felt a pair of arms go around me. When I looked up I saw a green face, with a pair of emerald eyes, surrounded by a red bandana staring back at me.

Yep. That just about did it. My eyes roll to the back of my head and I'm out like a light. Yeah I'm a horrible big sister.
