The Holiday Visitor

Chapter 1

Angel walked down the street, looking through the glass of different stores, at the gifts on display. It was only a week before Christmas and she still had not got her Christmas shopping done. She still needed to find all of the guys their gifts. Not only did she need to find the gift for the guys she also needed to find a few gifts for her seven year old daughter, Diane. It had been about eight years since the death of her husband, Chris and she still missed him. He did however give her a very beautiful daughter and was very thankful for the love and support of her family and friends, even though now she considered the turtles and Splinter as part of the family. Diane always referred the guys as uncles and would constantly want to go out with them when they went on patrols. Angel remained in the lair with the guys to raise her daughter, plus they would instill some very strong morals. After looking around at the displays she finally found something that she thought one of the guys would like, a video game called Call of Duty: Spec Ops.

"I am sure that Mikey would love this, probably the rest of them to" Angel said out loud to herself. She smiled and walked in the store and walked over to the shelf where the game was and picked one up off the shelf and walked over to the cashier to pay for it.

"Merry Christmas, how may I help you" the cashier asked kindly.

"Thank you, I like to buy this game" Angel replied, laying the game down on the counter for the woman to ring up.

"Ah, this is a hot game right now, we have had to restock two times because they are just flying off the shelf" the cashier laughed and rang the game up. "That will be 27.50" she said.

Angel handed her the money, "Here you go". The lady took the money and then gave her the game and her change and said "Merry Christmas, and please come again" as Angel walked away.

"Thank you and you have a Merry Christmas as well" Angel said as she walked out the door and waved to the lady, then walked towards the abandon where house that led to the turtle's lair. Angel was about four blocks from the where house when she heard a woman scream. Angel looked down the alley on the other side of the street and saw a woman getting mugged by four purple dragons.

Angel ran across the street to help the woman. When she got there she snuck up behind one of them, after laying her pocket book and other items on the ground, and delivered a crushing kick to the back of his head, knocking him out instantly. The other members of the gang through the woman they were mugging across the alley and turn their attention to Angel.

"Well well, what do we have here? You trying to play hero little girl" the leader asked smugly.

"I have done knocked out one of you and unless you three want to join him, you better give the lady back her belongings and run away" Angel sneered and took her fighting stance. The three remaining dragons looked at each other and laughed.

"O, I don't think so. You see there are more than just the three of us" the leader said and snapped his fingers. Just then five more dragons came out of the shadows and walked up and stood beside the other three.

"Now, why don't we show you how to have a real good time. This will be our Christmas gift to you" he said and all eight of them started walking towards Angel.

Walking down the street was a man carrying a big green duffle bag. He had just gotten into town and was looking for a place to stay when he heard a loud noise coming from an alley right down from him. Sounds like someone is in trouble the man thought to himself. He sped up his walk and looked down the ally and seen a woman trying to fight off eight gang members. The man through down his duffle bag and ran over to help the woman.

Angel was fading fast and there was still four more gang members to go. Suddenly one of them caught her off guard and hit her hard in the stomach and then punched her again in the face, knocking her to the ground. "Time to go to sleep girly" the leader said and was about to stomp on her face when he was suddenly grabbed from behind and thrown into the wall behind him.

The others looked back to see a man standing there. The leader got up off the ground and faced the new man that had join the fight. "I don't know who you are but you are dead" he said as he pointed his finger to the stranger. All of them charged the man and quickly found themselves being taken out quickly. The man made quick work of the dragons by using several fighting tactics he learned from his training and soon found that all of the gang members were down and out cold.

He turned his attention to the woman on the ground and sat her up while he went to check on the woman that got mugged by the gang members. He help her to her feet and she said thank you and then ran off to call the police. The man then went back to Angel and shook her to see if she would respond. Angel opened her eyes and looked at the man who had saved her.

"Thank you" Angel said as she tried to stand. The man held his hand out and Angel took it and he helped her get to her feet.

"Your welcome, are you alright?" the man asked as he looked up and down her body making sure there was no other injuries.

"Yes I'm sure" Angel said and started to walk back to retrieve her belongings she had sat down before the fight. The man walked up to her and picked her belongings up and handed them to her.

"Thank you again" Angel said smiling and suddenly felt real dizzy and started to fall. Before she hit the ground the man grabbed her and held her up.

"Let me help you get home, it's the least I can do" The man said as he held her up

"No, its ok, I can call one of friends to come and get me" Angel tried to protest and looked through her purse to find her cell but found out that she had left it at home.

"Please, you are in no shape to walk by yourself, let me help you" The man said

Angel sighed and knew the man was right. There was no way she had the strength to walk alone, plus she was sure she probably had a concussion. "Ok, but I have to warn you, you are not going to like where we are going" Angel said.

"OK, I am warned, now lets get you home" the man said and put one of Angel's arms around his neck and started walking. "By the way, the name is David" the man said.

"I'm Angel" Angel replied as they walked down the alley.

"Ok, what street is your house on?" David asked.

Angel looked at him and then looked around and that they could not go to the where house because he was a stranger and didn't know for sure if she could trust him, so she would have to take the long way and that only meant one way home. Angel looked back at David and smiled,

"You see that manhole cover over there"
