Chapter 2: The Strange, but Amazing Brothers

Silence and darkness surrounded me for quite a long time.

A short time later, I finally fluttered my eyes open and saw light.

"Urgh," I groaned and I realised that I was human, "Where am I?" I tensed, nothing but medical stuff on the table and something beeping. I can't be in a hospital, they'll find out I'm not human, my heart rate accelerated as did my breathing. This of course came up aloud on the pulse machine and so was rather embarrassing.

"It's okay, Scarlette, you're home…with us," a turtle with a purple bandanna, Donatello, I think, checked my heart rate and the rest of my vitals.

"What happened?" I asked as I looked around the room.

"Well basically you blacked out from the pain in your ankle and then once we got you home after a few hours you transformed back into your human form. Luckily for me, because I am much better treating people rather than…dog… wolves," he stopped himself, as I glared at him.

"Am I allowed to get up, doctor?" I lightened up a bit.

"Sure, but you might wanna lean on me as that ankle may be still a bit painful," he smiled at my comment.

Once he had taken bits and bobs off my arms, I managed to stand up without help. Only then to fall over as I took my first step, however Donnie caught me before I hit the floor.

I groaned and a smile tugged at Don's lips.

With some effort, Don managed to lead me into the main part of the 'lair'.

"This place is amazing," I gaze around in wonder. Each brother had their own space to do their own thing.

'Mikey' was playing the Zombie Apocalypse on the large TV, the 'hot head' was weight lifting in the corner and 'Leo' came up to me with a rat dressed in a robe and a had a walking stick. I suppose being afraid of rats didn't help at this moment as I take an automatic limp back.

He bows his head before speaking, "Miss Scarlette, welcome to our home."

"Th-thank y-you," I stuttered, I can't believe I'm actually talking to a rat, actually I can, hell I'm a wolf and I met four mutated ninja turtles in the sewers of New York City.

"Don't ya worry yourself, Master Splinter doesn't bite," Mikey said as he hopped onto the couch, earning a slap from Raph.

"It's not that, I have a fear of rats," I smile sheepishly, great a wolf afraid of rats, perfect.

"My apologies," Master Splinter smiles, "It must be difficult for you."

'Yes you have no idea,' I thought to myself, not actually saying it out-loud for the moment.

Don helped me sit on the couch as I watched Mikey try and kill the zombies, however, he failed, miserably.

"Pass it 'ere, you're doing it all wrong," I sigh and Mikey gives the controller to me.

The character jumps on a dumpster climbs up a drain pipe towards the roof and then runs and grabs the katannas from the roof and then jumps down and slices a zombies head clean off and then I pause the game and hand Mikey the controller back.

"Whoa, how do you know that?" Mikey asked, amazed.

"Simple, I have played the game at least three times before," I reply and smile.

"Great another gamer," Raph grumbles

"Hothead," I muttered under my breath.

"What did you say?" his head snaps towards me.

"Defoe," I mumbled even quieter, "H-O-T-H-E-A-D," I pronounce every letter slowly and everyone backs off as I stand up and face Raph. My ankle makes a loud crack and I smirk at him, "Bring-it-on, turtle, show me what you got."

Raph rushes towards me and I flip onto his shell and push off, he slams to the floor whilst I cling to a pillar. He picks himself up and I push of the pillar and glide through the air, sheath Leo's katannas out of their holster, "Mind if I borrow these? Kind sir," I land in front of Raph, the swords glinting in the light, I stay posed as I work out his weak spot, weaving my head from side to side, a bit like a snake.

The fight ends as quickly as it began with Raph on his shell and a blade to his neck, his Sais on the floor and he glares up and me.

"I win," I clean the katannas and I kneel in front of Leo, "Your Katannas, Leonardo," this shocks him, before he blinks and takes them from my hands and I stand up.

"That was-," Don was lost for words.

"I would say, shocking by the look of your face," I smile at him.

Master Splinter was thoughtful, "Miss Scarlette, If you wish, I am willing to allow you stay here with us and be part of our unique family." I saw in his eyes that he knew, even without saying anything out-loud, he knew of my past.

"Thank you," I smile.

I look towards a clock, it was nearly seven. The brothers turn in the same direction.

"One form over," and my body explodes revealing a blur of black fur and my inner wolf appears.

I stand in front of them and Master Splinter bows before leaving us. We move to the couch, well I sit on the floor. A news flash appears and I see Stockman in the top left corner and I growl. It gets more ferocious each step I take, and then the TV is switched off, the others look down at me as I up at them.

"Looks like Stockman's out doing what he loves best," Raph starts, "Lets clobber 'im."

"I agree," Leo looks at his brother then at me, "stay here." Then he and his brothers are gone.

It's been over half an hour and I can't wait any longer. I have been pacing, so I too, exit the lair and then vanish into the night. I clamber onto a roof and peer around, lying on the roof tops, there are many foot ninja's lying unconscious and then I see Stockman. I climb up to the top of the water tower and see Stockman grab an unconscious Raph by the shell, preparing to rip him from it. I push off the roof and glide towards Stockman's robotic arm and rip it from his body. I land on the ground and skid and face Stockman and hear Leo shout, "Scarlette I told you to stay put!" but I ignore him. I stand in front of the turtles, posed and ready for anything. I am then smashed out of the way by Stockman; I hurtle through a wall and almost fall of the roof. I cling on by my claws on the concrete and I see Stockman coming towards me. He lifts his hand, preparing to push me off. I growl at him and his hand comes to the ground, however the turtles push him off before it comes into contact with the roof. He falls into a dumpster which then closes and locks.

I leap on to the roof and see Raph sat up, "Ow! Where's Stockman?" he asks.

"Well, Scarlette saved your shell and then Stockman fell in a dumpster," Mikey laughed and he stroked my ears.

We were nearly home when my acute hearing picked up voices and I ran ahead only to see humans, two a man and a woman.

"When are the guys coming home?" the man whines.

"Once they have finished," the woman answers slapping him across the head. I growled loudly and shot through the door and took stance between Master Splinter and the humans. The woman looked frightened; "Who is the new member?" she asked as I bared my teeth and got into a crouch.

"Scarlette, it's okay," Leo comes in and strokes my head; I look up at him "they are friends."

I slowly lower my stance and regain control.

"Let me introduce you guys, April, Casey this is Scarlette. Scarlette, that is April O' Neil and this is Casey Jones," Leo points to both the woman and the man.

I move to the side as Raph and Mikey tackle Casey to the ground and me and April both roll our eyes.

"I know, let's play hide-n-seek," Mikey shouts, "Leo's it." He scampered off into the darkness.

Leo sighs and then counts to thirty.
