"Kyaaah", a high pitched scream, not my own, echoed in the tunnel as I landed. I sat up fast on pure instinct and before I could get up on my feet I could feel the cold steel of a sword touching my throat. It was dark and all I could see was moving shadows in front of me but as I followed the sword with my eyes I could clearly see a green hand with three fingers.
I blinked, no, that is not possible. That's mental, keep it together. My brain searched frantically for a logical explanation for where I was. I must have dosed of because of the smoke in my small apartment and perhaps an overdose of adrenaline. I could still not feel my hands so I definitely had adrenaline left. But how did I end up here? Did they kidnap me, I wondered as I kept staring at the green hand as it it would somehow sprout two more fingers if I just stared at it long enough. What was that foul smell? Where was I?
The sword pushed harder against the skin at my throat and I realized Leo was talking to me. No, not Leo, It cant be.
I was to far away in my stressed out whirlwind of thought to even register what he was trying to ask of me. Just as he was about to advance out of the shadows the rocks beneath me shook. Thankfully I fell backwards and not straight forward on the katana.
I was about to hit my head on the ground when another threefingered hand caught mine. I stared wide eyed into the hard eyes of Raphael...
"Mikey, are you okey?" I heard Leo ask the moving... rock.. Oh, ..oh. I had broken my fall on top of Michelangelo's shell. I thought that scream had sounded familiar.
Frozen in my fall because of Raphael, my eyes flickered from Raph to Mikey who was brushing of dust from his knee pads to Leo who stepped in between me and Mikey with his katana still facing me.
"Hey guys, watch your step. The abnormality is close. My tracker is going nuts. This tunnel is packed with highly charged electric particles. I never seen anythi..."
"D?"
I could not stop my voice. It was only one letter but I felt the tension in the tunnel change. Without warning Raph let go of my hand and grabbed his sais and I fell the short distance to the ground.
My eyes were slowly growing accustomed to the dark so I could see Donnie react to my voice and face my way but they were still covered in shadows. The only turtle I could see clearly was Raph but as I looked back to face him his pupils had gone white and he stepped back into the shadows.
In the cartoons I always felt they looked the best without pupils but to see then disappear because of me sent a chill down my spine. Realization struck, this was bad, this was really bad. I grabbed after my bag only to get a hit by the bo staff om my wrist.
"Not so fast, tuts", Raphaels voice mocked from the shadows.
"Ouch", How had Don moved that fast? "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I-I just.. y-you wont believe me unless I show y..."
"Duude, You don't hit girls", Mikeys voice sounded offended.
"What are you talking about? We fight Karai all the time." Donnie reasoned
"She's different. Dudette's scared, look at her."
"She attacked you dumnuts", I heard a smack and could only assume Raph hit Mike over the head.
"Eeh, Nah!. Probably only wanted a hug. Right?", Mikey moved forward towards the light but got pulled back. I could not help but smile.
"Quit joking around, We should move."
"NoLeowaitplease" I blurted out and tried to reach for my bag again only to get my hand smacked away by Donatellos bo staff once again. I pulled my hand back protectively, he had struck me much harder this time. He then put the staff around the bag strap and in one swift movement stole it from me. This was not working out the way I thought it would.
