(Chapter 2) Reunion
Anna coughed as she fought to see through the thick black smoke that filled her father's lab. The fire alarm rang loudly causing her head to vibrate. But still she struggled down the stairs. When she finally reached the bottom she looked around trying to find her friend through the smoke and flames.
"April?!" She cried out. "APRIL, WHERE ARE YOU?!"
She walked a few steps forward. Her eyes burned from the smoke and heat. Suddenly a hand grabbed onto hers and pulled her downwards beneath a nearby lab table.
"Are you ok?" April asked rubbing her own eyes.
"Yes, I think," Anna coughed. "April, We have to get out of here..."
"No, not until I find my dad..." April said with a determined voice. " I have to find him Al. He might be hurt. You should get out of here.."
Anna stared at her friend for a moment before shaking her head.
"No, you're my best friend. Where you go I go." She said with a smile that disappeared after a moment as her eyes grew wide "Splinter and the babies!"
April gasped, She had completely forgotten about them.
"We have to save them," She said before turning around to peak from beneath the table. The flames were spreading quickly. She could see the cages where their pets were kept down the hall in another room. The flames hadn't reached them yet. But they needed to get there fast.
"Ok," She said turning back to Anna. "On the count of three. One...two..."
A loud crack sounded that was quickly followed by ceiling tiles and lights falling on top of the sturdy lab table. Both girl screamed and covered their heads.
"THREE," Anna screamed and crawled from beneath the table. April quickly followed.
The girls ran down the hall to the room where cages sat in their usual places on the table. Anna quickly ran to the cabinet to get one of the cardboard carriers they used to transport the animals. While April started gathering the babies from their aquariums. Anna brought over the carrier before rushing to help get the babies inside.
"Don't be afraid leonardo," She cooed quietly as she gently set the turtle into the carrier. "Come on Raphael, its ok, I've got you."
April rushed to Splinter's cage and grabbed the frightened rat before coming back and gently setting him with the others. Anna helped her to shut the carrier.
"Ok," Anna said, " Now let's find you're dad."
Another loud crack sounded that caused more of the ceiling to fall and knock over some of her father's other experiments, one that began to glow red. Suddenly their way back through the lab was blocked. The girl's looked around before their eyes fell on the back door that was just on the other side of the lab. Flaming debris from the ceiling that had just collapsed blocked their way.
"April WE HAVE TO GO!" Anna cried. "I'm sure your dad made it out."
April looked as if she wanted to argue but another crack sounded that interrupted her before she could say.
"Ok," She said her voice cracking from fear as she clutched the carrier. "Let's go."
Anna nodded and the girls took off running. As they came closer to the debris Anna hesitated and stopped while April sped up and leaped over the debris landing safety on the other side. Anna backed up and froze as she heard a loud noise that sounded like a gun shot. She looked around and saw April looking around having heard the noise.
"DADDY?!" April called out looking around.
Suddenly Anna caught sight of something strange crawling from beneath the debris, straight towards April. It didn't look like an animal...but several long red tentacles coming from something that looked silver peaking from beneath the debris.
"APRIL!" Anna screamed and ran.
The tentacles kept crawling towards her friend as she landed and ran towards her. The tentacles suddenly shot forward like spears. April turned around in time to feel and see Anna pushing her backwards through the door and out of the lab, just as another loud crack sounded and the ceiling at the door collapsed. At the same time the tentacles that shot at April slammed hard into Anna's back and ripped through her body before coming through her chest. April looked up in shock at the lab now beginning to collapse. Inside she heard the piercing scream of her friend.
"AAANNNNNNAAAAAAA" She screamed still holding tightly to the carrier as tears began to stream down her face. "ANNA!"
"Anna?"
The familiar voice brought her back into the waking world. Anna's eyes slowly flickered open before they shot open completely. All around her were faces. Two were human, five were not. Her eyes focused on her newly reunited friend April who was sponging off her forehead with a damp rag.
"Hey, Al are you ok?" She asked quietly not wanting to frighten her friend anymore.
"Her vital signs are stabilizing." One of the turtles said as he lifted up a strange pair of goggles he had been looking through.
"Where..am I?" Anna asked looking around.
She found herself on a couch in April's apartment. Slowly she sat up and looked around. She thought she had imagined the four giant creatures. But here they all her plus what looked like an enormous rat in clothing sitting on one side of her.
"Are you alright Anna?" the rat suddenly spoke to her.
She looked at him highly confused. "Um...yes...I think so...this is all just alittle much..." She said looking those around her. She quickly recogized the man as the one she had seen from the cemetery with April. "So...um April...you uh...you said that these...were our pets?"
"We're no one's pets," Raphael growled.
"Stop it Raph, that's how she remembers us." Leo growled before turning to smile at Anna. "Sorry about him, He can't accept that at one point you were both bigger than us."
Anna smiled in response and released a giggle while Raph rolled his eyes and punched his brother in shoulder.
April smiled, she was taking it better than she thought.
"Yes," She said as she pointed them out.
"Leonardo," Leo smiled.
"Michelangelo," Mikey snickered and waved.
"Donatello," Donnie pushed up his glasses and smiled.
" Raphael," Raph crossed his arms and snorted.
"Remember you wanted to name them after rennaisance painters," She said with a grin before motioning to the rat.
"So you were the one who came up with the idea for our names?" Donnie asked looking at her with interest.
Anna gave a shrug. "I guess I did," She said with an awkward grin.
Mikey leaned over to Leo. "Dude a hot chick totally named me."
"She wanted to give you names of nobility." Splinter's voice cut in
Anna's wide eyes fell on Splinter who bowed his head to her.
"It is so good to see you again, Anna. We thought we lost you in the fire." He said once more in his calm gentle voice.
Anna smiled, She liked him already. He reminded her of her grandfather back in Japan."I'm afraid I don't remember much from the accident. When I woke up from a coma, I had amnesia. My mother took me to our home in Japan. I had to re-learn everything...even how to walk and talk. It wasn't even an hour ago that I remembered April or that you all existed."
"You don't remember anything?" Splinter asked leaning towards her. "You don't remember how you survived the fire?"
Anna looked at the floor and concentrated hard. "No..I remember, flames...and pain...and that's about it."
She didn't want to mention the red monster she frequently had nightmares about or they might think she was crazy. Though sitting on a couch talking to a mutant rat and turtles was a bit out there."
Splinter sighed. "I am sorry that you have lost so much. Anna you were so kind to me back then, to all of us. I remember how April would give us pizza as a treat. You would always come down before they cut the lights off in the lab and sing a lullaby for us to go to sleep. You always did have such a beautiful voice. After the accident, and April gave us our freedom there were many nights when the brothers could not get to sleep because they hadn't heard your sweet voice.
Anna smiled. She wished she could remember doing such a thing, and part of her seemed to. But she wasn't sure if it were an actual memory or simply her wishing it were so.
"I don't remember much from before...only vague images with no detail." She said sadly. "Really before a couple of days ago. I hardly remembered what my father looked like. My mother didn't really want me to remember the past. I'm not sure why..."
Raph snorted "That's because your father was a..."
"Raphael!" Splinter growled. "What have I told you before?"
Raphael's head dropped in shame. "If I can't say something nice then don't say anything at all." he recited like a contrite child.
Anna watched him curiously. She wondered at him. He seemed to do nothing but glare and growl at everyone. Raphael slowly lifted his head to meet her eyes. They stared at one another for a moment before he jerked his head away and put tooth pick in his mouth moving it just to the side. Suddenly the pocket of her dress lit up and began to vibrate. She quickly reached down and took out her phone seeing that she had a new message. Her eyes widened as she saw that she had seventeen missed calls and twenty new messages, all from Manny or as the screen read "DICK WAD"
"Anna is everything ok?" April asked looking at her with concern.
Anna quickly put away her phone. "Nothing, just my jailer trying to track me down."
A confused look suddenly appeared on everyones' faces that caused her to burst into laughter.
"I kind of ditched my manager to come and find you."
"Oh," April said with a frown. "Do you need to leave?"
Anna shook her head. "No, actually I'd rather not. I feel I'm in much better company here." She said she looked around the group with a smile. "So...does anyone want to fill me in on what happened while I was away?"
Laughter filled April's apartment as the group sat around the living room watching the old videos April had made of her and Anna as children. Everything from interviews to dances the girls made up to how they dressed up Spinter and the brothers in barbie clothes. Splinter was not amused by seeing himself dressed up like a ballerina.
"I don't think its fair that Mikey and I were dressed up as the "girl friends" just because we have the colors purple and orange..." Donnie whined.
"I don't think its fair that I had do be dressed up as the "boyfriend" to your butt ugly "girlfriend." Raph said with a sneer.
"Raph cut it out..." Leo growled before he turned to smile at Anna. "So...what's it like to be a super star?"
Anna blushed and returned his smile. "Well...its fun...alot of hard work...alot of stress..." She said nervously. She had never been embarrassed about her career before. " But I get to do what I love for a living...so...yea..."
"Dude I'm totally a singer too!" Mikey chimed in. "Well, actually..more of a rapper/DJ/MC"
"Really?!" Anna asked excitedly glad to have the conversation off of her. "I would love to hear your work? I've never had the talent for hiphop."
"Well, I don't know..." Mikey feigned shyness before jumping up and down excitedly. "Alright you twisted my arm."
He jumped up and quickly moved the coffee table to the side so he could stand in the middle. Taking out his nunchucks he began tapping a beat and beboxing. After a moment his brothers one by one stood up and joined in each one contributing a different beat or voice to his song. Suddenly Mikey began rapping along to music his brothers were making.
"MC Mikey here again, happy to see a real old friend. She a beauty, She's gold. She makes me wanna do something real bold. Yo Anna can't you tell? You tighten my shell, I wanna hear you sing. I'ma buy you a ring..."
Anna, April, and Vern couldn't help but laugh at Mikey's words. Especially when he spoke of his tightening shell that earned him a smack from both Leo and Raph. Anna laughed until her sides hurt as the brothers song soon turned into a chaotic brawl in the middle of April's living room.
"Whoa guys be careful." April called out as she began to grab empty plates from around the living area to get them away from the large ball of green arms and limbs that rolled around her floor. Anna quickly followed suit and grabbed nearby plates to help her friend.
"Those guys are great," She said as she followed April into the kitchen. "I can't believe everything thats happened.
"Yea I know right," April agreed as she set the plates in the sink and turned around to watch the fight that continued in her apart. "I can't believe what my life has turned into."
The look of sadness that flashed across April's features didn't go un-noticed by her friend.
"I'm so sorry about your job..." Anna said quietly. "I know how much it was your dream to become a reporter."
April looked down at the ground studying the floor hard. "Yea well...Its ok. If I hadn't done what I did I would never have found these guys...and I might be dead right now..."
Anna was quiet. She agree with all April had said. But she was still sad for that she had lost her dream job. She wondered if there were anything she could possibly do.
CRASH! The loud noise caused the floor beneath the girls to shake. April rolled her eyes as Leo suddenly appeared at the doorway.
"Um...April...You'd better come..." He said apologetically. "I'm sorry...Mikey...your TV..."
April looked to Anna before heaving a deep sigh. "I'll be right back." She said before stomping into the living room leaving Leo and Anna alone.
"What happened to Mikey and the TV?" She asked him curiously.
"Well,..." Leo hesistated as he walked over rubbing his head. "I don't think he's suppose to be wearing it to begin with."
Anna's eyes went wide. "Is he ok!?"
"Oh yea he'll be fine..." Leo said with a grin. "The TV won't"
They both broke into laughter.
"Well that's good."Anna said trying to catch her words. "I mean bad for the TV. But good for Mikey."
Slowly their laughter drifted into an awkward silence. Leo cast a shy sidelong look at the girl beside him.
"You know...your not what I expected." He said quietly"
"What do you mean?" She asked turning to look at him.
"Well, After I learned who you were, you know a celebrity...I guess I thought you would be..."
"A diva?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"N-No," He stammared quickly becoming unsure of himself. "of course not I just thought that being Eric Sach's daughter you would be..."
"Just like him..." She said finishing his sentence.
"Yes..NO..." He stammered . "I mean...I don't know...um can I start over?" He asked nervously.
Anna laughed. "It's fine...I know what you mean..."
She walked over to the fridge to grab two orange crush soda.
"To be honest I really don't remember my father. My mother recieved a check from him every month to pay for my schooling and anything else we needed. I would recieve a post card sometimes telling me how proud he was of me...and that was about it...After my mother died...everything came through my grandparents...He didn't even come to my graduation."
She walked back over to where Leo stood and popped the soda cans before handing him one. Leo looked down. He couldn't imagine not knowing his own father, or just recieving a post card. He never knew his mother, so no love lost there really.
"I'm sorry," He replied quietly.
Anna shrugged. "It's really fine...Like I said I hardly knew the man...I mean why should I care about a man who didn't care about me?"
Leo studied her reaction with interest. "Then why did you come back for the funeral?"
At that Anna suddenly slumped against the counter. She quickly became engrossed in the floor. "Well...for my mother..." She said before she lifted her eyes to meet his. "My mother loved him more than life itself. Even though she could never forgive him for somethings in the past...She never stopped loving him. I remember hearing her cry out for him at night. Sometimes I would sneak into her room and find her asleep, holding onto a picture of him from their wedding that she kept in her beside table. I can't imagine loving someone like that, and not being able to forgive them for the past."
She looked up at him intently, a strange sadness in her eyes. Leo found himself falling into those icy depths. They stared at one another before the sound of a throat clearing snapped them out of their daze and caused their heads to snap towards the door. There Raphael stood with his arms crossed and an angry glare.
"Hey, you two wanna stop making googly eyes at one another and come out here and help?" He growled looking from one to the other.
Anna quickly took a long gulp of her drink while Leo turned bright red and quickly returned Raphael's scowl.
"Yea, yea" Leo said the look on his face clearing saying that he wanted Raph's head on his katana for interrupting. "We'll be out in a moment."
Raph's glare quickly turned into a mischevious scowl as he leaned against the door and played with his toothpick. Leo's eyes went wide as he shifted them back and forth from him to the door silently begging his brother to leave. When Raph just stretched and began rubbing his shell against the door frame to kill an imaginary itch, Leo closed his eyes and sent up a prayer for strenght not to beat his annoying brother to a pulp.
"Ahem," He said. "Do you mind?"
"Nope," Raph replied with a grin. "Not at all."
Leo rolled his eyes. Oh, yes he thought to himself, revenge would be sweet tonight. He turned his attention back to Anna who was trying not to laugh at Raph's antics. Atleast someone found it funny, he thought begrudgingly.
"So," He said catching her attention again. "How long are you staying in New York? We heard on the news that you were in the middle of a tour when this all happened."
Anna smiled and shrugged. "Well, to be honest I was on my way back to the airport when April caught me, and I remembered. But my agent has so graciously arranged a concert for me here in a few days. So it does look like I'll be staying a bit longer. I will have to go back eventually because I am under contract. But I would like to spend a bit more time with April and all of you." She said looking up at him.
Leo felt his breath catch in his throat. He opened his mouth to say something but was quickly interrupted.
"Oh well that's sweet," Raph sneered. "The princess wants to spend some time with the peasants before she goes back to her castle. Well, don't feel obligated to stay on our behalf, sweetheart. We got along fine without you before and we will again after you leave."
Anna turned to Raph and smiled as she began to walk towards him. Behind her Leo's face took on a murderous glare. Raph tried not laugh as Leo held up his hands and shook them back and forth as if he were choking someone. Anna walked up to Raph causing him to focus his attention back to her. He pulled himself up to his full height and crossed his arms in a defensive manner waiting for any insult she might throw at him. But Anna simply smiled up at him and said in her calm gentle voice.
"It was nice to meet you again Raph. I hope to see you again soon."
Then she walked past him into the livingroom. Raph was taken aback not sure what to say. So He said the first thing that came to mind.
"Yea don't hold your breath sweetheart."
He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder that jerked him back roughly in the kitchen.
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Leo roared in a whisper.
"What's wrong with me!? What's wrong with you!?" Raph demanded back. "That is the daughter of our enemy. For all we know she could be working with Shredder too, and your trying to make out with her in APRIL'S kitchen!"
Leo's eyes went wide at the accusation. "W-We DID NOT make out!" He said turning bright red. "How could you think she is working with Shredder. Does she LOOK evil? She hasn't even spoken to her father in years!"
"Yea, I heard." Raph growled. "But did you ever think she might be LYING genius?"
Leo's mouth dropped open and he looked as if he were about to explode.
"YOU WERE EAVESDROPPING!?"
"Hey guys," Donnie said coming to the door. "We could really use your help out here. April said you could kill each other later as long as you don't destroy her apartment."
The two brother's looked at one another as if to say 'We will finish this later' before they turned to walk into the living room. The sight that met them was one of hilarity. In the middle of the livingroom stood Mikey with the TV still on his head howling in pain. April had ahold of the TV with both hands and one foot on Mikey's stomach trying to pull it off. Behind April was Anna with both hands around her waist trying to help her pull. Behind Mikey was Donnie with his hands on Mikey's shell trying to pull. Splinter sat on the couch in meditation. While Vern sat beside him scratching his head, trying to figure out how his life became what this was in front of him, and how gorgeous April looked when she was working hard.
"OWW" Mikey cried. "We bring you the latest news update that nerd turtle Donatello IS ABOUT TO PULL FAMOUS DJ TURTLE MC MIKEY'S SHELL OFF! In other news the two hot girls in front of MC Mikey can stay right where they are..."
It another twenty minutes and all of the brothers, April and Anna to get the TV off of Mikey. Afterwards they had all shared a good laugh before Anna's phone began to buzz again. It was Herald letting her know that she might want him to come and pick her up because Manny was threatening to call the NYPD to come searching for her. Anna rolled her eyes and said she was on her way down
"Please don't go I already miss you sooo much!" Mikey cried as he spun her around.
Anna laughed and hugged him back before he finally set her down.
"Don't forget you promised to do a mashup song with me." He said as she regained her balance.
"Of course I won't forget, Mikey." She said with a grin. "You'll see me soon."
Donatello stood next to Mikey. Anna reached up to put her arms around him.
"It was good to see you again Donnie, and I promise I will get Kitty's autograph for you."
Donnie's face lit up in such a way that for a moment she thought he was going to pick her up and spin her around like Mikey had. Beside Donnie stood Raphael who simply crossed his arms and glared down at her. Anna shook her head before she lunged forward and threw her arms around him. Raphael's eyes went wide as he looked around at his brothers unsure of what to do. After a moment Anna released him, and stepped back to look up at him.
"I hope to see you again soon Raph." She said with a smile.
Raphael simply snorted and looked away, becoming very interested in the floor. Leo gave him a glare over Anna's head. Anna walked over to Leo who instantly spread his arms out and wrapped her in a big hug that lifted her off the ground.
"It was good to see you again." she said as he sat her back down and took her hands.
"You too," He said with a smile before his face became serious."Please come back and see us again."
"I will," Anna said with a smile. "I promise."
Anna slowly backed up forcing Leo to reluctantly release her hands. Mikey and Donnie stifled a giggle. While Raph snorted and elbowed Donnie causing him to cry out before sending an angry glare at Leo. Anna walked over to Splinter who offered a polite bow before taking her hands in his own claws.
"It was good to hear your sweet voice again Anna. I am so glad to know you are safe and happy. Please know you are always welcome wherever we are."
Anna smiled and squeezed his hands back.
"I will be back very soon," She said quietly.
Vern stepped forward and put his arms out for a hug. Anna smiled and took his hand in a hand shake. He physically seemed to deflate in front of her.
"It was nice to meet you, Vern" She said politely.
Vern immediately went into his cool guy stance.
"Yea, of course. We totally need to hang...you know...we could all go get some fro-yo...or something."
Both April and Anna laughed at him before April interrupted to get her own hug in.
"Oh I'm so happy. I got to see you again!" April said as she squeezed her friend tightly.
"You're going to see me again soon." Anna said with a smile. "You have my number and I have yours. Once I figure out what my itinerary is I'll Skype you tomorrow...and We'll have dinner."
They finally released one another. April pulled back to smile at her friend.
"Can you keep a secret?" She asked in a sing songy voice.
Anna chuckled and sang back. "Yes, I caaaaannnnnn"
The others looked at one another confused before they looked back at the two. The girls promptly burst into a fit of laughter. Then Anna turned and walked out the door.
"Bye guys." She said as she left and walked down the stairs towards the front door of the apartment.
"Hey, Anna!" The voice called out to her causing her to pause.
She turned around to see Leo barreling down the stairs.
"What's up?" She asked instantly smiling.
Leo stopped right in front of her and instantly turned red.
"Um...I was wondering...if I don't know you might be interested in...going out with me...sometime...before you leave?" He asked looking everywhere but at her.
Anna tilted her head. "Like...a date?" She asked curiously.
"NO!" He cried. "I mean, yea...I mean...I'm sorry you need to leave so I'll just be going..."
He quickly turned around and started to run back up the steps.
"Ok,"
The word caused him to freeze in his steps. Slowly he turned around to look at her.
"Beg pardon?" he asked not quite sure he heard what he thought he heard.
Anna smiled and leaned towards him. "Yes, I'll go out with you."
Leo was in shock. He hadn't really planned if she said yes. He had just suddenly got the thought in his head that he wanted to ask her. But now he wasn't sure what to do.
"Um...ok" He said turning even brighter red. " Cool...um...thanks...I'll uh catch you later." He said pointing at her as he had seen Mikey do before.
Anna laughed. "Ok...I'll see you tomorrow."
She turned and walked out of the building, while Leo shot his arms into the air like he was signaling a touchdown. He quickly turned and ran back up to the apartment where he was met by a room full of mischievous grins. Leo froze and felt his face heating up to a lovely shade of scarlet. For a moment he wanted turn around and go hide back in the sewer.
"Yo! MY MAN!" Vern smiled at Leo as he pat him on the shell.
"Congratulations Leonardo." April said with a smile."I think you make an adorable couple."
"Um, excuse me Leo, But have you thought of where you're gonna take her out." Donnie asked. "I mean we can't exactly go "out"." he said making quotations with his hands.
"Dude!" Mikey said coming up to put an arm around his brother. "So does this mean I can't call dibs on her?"
Leo turned to give his brother a look that made his brother's blood run cold. Then he said in a low murderous voice. "Do you want to wear that TV again?"
Anna stepped out of the apartment and smiled. For the first time in forever she felt truly happy. If not alittle sad because she knew she should be mourning her father. But instead she felt lighthearted. A few hours ago she couldn't wait to leave. Now she wouldn't mind staying a bit longer. The black escalade pulled up to the curb, and a moment later Herald hurried around the car to open the door for her.
"Good evening Miss Anna," He said with a nod of his head.
"Good evening Herald," She said as she stepped up and gave him a peck on the check. "Thank you,"
She stepped into the back of the car and reached up to grab her wrist as a twinge of pain shot through an old scar on her right wrist. But she quickly shook it off and reached to put on her seatbelt. Herald quickly shut her door and got back into the car. As they drove off Anna's thoughts wandered back to the events of the day. She couldn't believe she had found her old friend. Minute by minute she was remembering more and more from her past before awakening from her coma. She didn't feel as anxious about being in New York. Her thoughts ran back to the brothers. Who would have thought that they would have survive and become such amazing creatures. Then there was Leo. Anna couldn't help but smile as she thought about him. He was so sweet, and kind and funny, and amazingly it didn't bother her at all that he was a giant turtle. But then again she had always had strange taste in men. She felt butterflies jump into her stomach at the thought of him. Another twinge shot through her wrist this one worse than before. Anna winced and rubbed the old scar. She had it for as long as she could remember. She had assumed she had gotten it in the fire. But it had never given her trouble before. The pain was becoming steady now, almost like a pulse. She pulled her hand up to her chest hoping the pressure would ease the pain.
"Miss Anna?" She heard Herald call from the front. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine." She said looking up into his rearview mirror.
"Ok just making sure. It looks like theres some road work ahead so we're gonna take a detour."
"Alright whatever you think is best." She said with a grin as the car turned and went down an alley way.
Suddenly her wrist felt as if it were on fire. Anna sucked in a breath through her teeth trying not to cry out. Then she heard Herald whisper.
"What the hell?"
She leaned forward to look out the windshield and saw three lone figures in black blocking their way. The car came to a stop in front of them. Herald flicked on his high beams so they could get a better look at the men. Anna could see they were all wearing masks. But in front of her Herald gasped.
"Oh my god." He said quietly.
"What's wrong?" Anna asked quickly becoming frightened.
"They're foot clan members. The same people who killed your father!" He said as he quickly put the car in reverse and hit the gas. "Don't you worry miss Anna. I'll get you out of here."
The car began backing up. Anna sat back in the seat but then cried out in pain as the burning in her wrist grew worse. Sudenly the car hit something, and stopped. Both Anna and Herald turned around but couldn't see what they hit. Then a jolt caused them to both turn back towards the front of the car. The three figures now stood at the hood.
"What do we do," She asked quietly in a panic as she continued to grab her wrist that now felt as if it were going to come off.
Herald hesistated for a moment before slowly opening his mouth to say something. But words never came out, because in front of them the three foot clan members began to transform. Their skin melted off and their forms shifted into what looked like large, strange metal tank like weapons.
"Oh my god," Anna whispered.
One of the weapons that looked like a drill lifted up and seemed to aim itself at the windshield of the car. Herald turned and screamed
"ANNA RUN!"
CRASH! The drill shot through the windshield and into Herald's chest. Anna released a loud scream of terror as she watched the kind man die before her eyes. Suddenly another of the weapons hit the car and caused it to flip over onto it side. Anna slowly opened her eyes and was confused she felt weightless and the world looked upside down. She shook her head trying to focus. She quickly realized the reason she felt upside down was because she was hanging upside down in the car, as the seat belt still held her tightly to the seat. Reaching down she hit the button to release herself and hit the ground with a groan. She looked to the front of the car where she could Herald's body dangling from his own seat. But she didn't have time to react. Another surge of pain shot from her wrist causing her to cry out. She heard another mechanical whirrr, and released a mangled cry as the car door was ripped from its hinges by one of the weapons.
"So you're the one who smells so good." A strange mechanical voice came from the weapon. "I'm gonna have so much fun with you."
Anna whimpered and shrank back into the seat as the weapon trained down on her preparing to fire. But before it could she felt something strange rip through her body that seemed to emanate from her wrist. A loud horrific scream errupted from her lungs. She couldn't determine whether it was a pleasant feeling or a feeling of intense pain. She felt as if her skin was being ripped from her body. Soon the feelings of pain and pleasure overcame her and she blacked out.
Through the weapons eyes however, his victim's screams seemed to change almost to screams of pleasure. He watched through his sensors as her wide blue eyes turned from blue and white to yellow and black. A ripple of pleasure washed over him as she transformed into something else entirely.
"Yes," The weapon cried. "YES THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!"
Author's notes: Whew that was a long chapter! I promised myself that my chapters would be shorter to make the story longer. But I find myself wanting so much in a chapter that so far We are getting these monsters. Anway hope you like the way I'm portraying the turtles, I'm attempting to keep them as much in character as possible. I also hope you like Anna. So if you enjoyed please let me know. I always love to hear back from you and I always try to respond (sorry guests I can't really respond to you!) Chapter 3 is going to be even more exciting than this chapter!
