Chapter 2

Elsewhere, wolfjade had been away on a self-discovery journey. Trying to find the answers to her past, also she had to learn how the way of the wolf. Her wolf instincts would take over whenever, came face to face with those who were evil. Every day or evening became a constant struggle for the she-wolf protector.

Sometimes she rescued two or three victims each night, received no thankyou instead a response of told to never return and stay away. Understood more and more, how her beloved terrapin friends feel when they too, rescue damsels in distress only to freak out from their appearance. Sighed, turned and disappeared in the shadows. Just as how the turtles showed her. Mikey never left her thoughts while she been on her journey but also Karai.

And Shredder.

They hadn't finished with Wolfjade as they now know that the test subject that presumably had died in the laboratory is very much alive. What was the purpose of Shredder's plan? What secrets held to Wolfjade's past? And why.

The night drew near, dawn was fast approaching and she was getting tired followed with another dead end to her endless questions. Her past was a dark endless void of blank spots in her memories but when she slumbered; horrifying images of what shredder's scientists did to her.

She would wake up in hot sweat, pant heavily almost gasping for air. Knowing that, she most definitely needed connections even help. It was time, to return back to New York City and see Mikey again. Howls of the wolf pack she has came close with, had brought her comfort but her heart greatly desired something, which has imprinted.

Before taking her journey back to New York, she had to farewell her wolf pack as she howled softly and the howl individually returned then silence. Disappearing in the shadowy fog, as it slowly rose to cover the forest she ventured through. One thought, one message risen in her mind. 'I'm coming back, I shall see you soon Mikey. I'm coming home, my love.'

Meanwhile….

Mikey was moping around the lair, since Wolfjade left and searched for answers to her past and key to the future. He grew insanely jealous as Raphael and Rachael was forever, smothering each other day in and day out. Even there were nights, that poor Mikey had to put ear muffs on as Raphael always managed to make Rachael moan that echoed through the room with the banging of the bed, forever hitting the wall.

"Oh come on, keep it down in there!" Mikey irritably scolded, then as he climbed into his bed with a comic book. He suddenly felt a strange wave of warmth. Unsure of exactly what was the feeling, he had received but knew it was something that is good.

Reaching for the photograph of himself with Wolfjade, happily smiled as he lovingly embraced her from behind and nestled his cheek upon her temple. "I miss you Jade. I hope you, will come home soon." Cradling the photograph to his chest as curled up under the blanket then drifted to sleep. Just as when he drifted to a deep slumber, he begun to dream about himself and Jade.

But where he dreamed, was some place beautiful and how he saw her in his dreams was not exactly how he remembers her.

Softly rustling in the winds that gently blew through the wheats of the fields. Watching over the children that played in the yard. Happily smiled as he lovingly snuggled with his beloved that held his hand over her belly. Nestling under his jaw, happily exhaled. "Mm-mm, it is so peaceful here. Wish we never have to go back." She smiled, looking up to him. Mikey looked down to her but instead of seeing her as a wolf. He had seen her as this astonishing beautiful angel, smiling.

"Mikey?" she called, reaching up and cusped his cheek as she gained his attention. "You ok?" Lightly caressed her soft rosy cheek, that would be covered in fur but wasn't. He couldn't stop himself from admiring her beauty. To mikey, she was always beautiful but she was more beautiful, than ever realised.

He smiled warmly, whispery replied. "I'm ok." Tenderly kissed her, closed her eyes and returned the kiss as she held his hand unto her swollen belly. Breaking the kiss, and gazed into each other's eyes deeply and loving when Mikey heard one of his children, call out to him but before he could see their faces.

A bright light shone behind the child, as she happily called his name again. "Daddy, come play." Jade smiled as she lightly patted his hand and said. "Go on, I'll go make some cookies." Kissed his cheek and stood up, then Mikey answered. "Ok."

"Daddy! Come play hide and tag." One child requested, as she and her siblings went to hide. Just as he leaped from the porch, he replied. "Ready or not, here I come!"

Then a bright light shunned before him, as a warming veil fell down and then he awoke. "Wow. What a dream." Mikey gasped, shocked.
