The Beginning of a New

Ch. 3

"This Is Only the Beginning"

It was the next day; Faith woke up then she took a quick shower. She got dressed and headed to work. She locked up her house, and headed to her store. When she arrived; she unlocked the store doors. She was not that busy and stared out her window watching the snow fall.

She thought to herself.

'I have a bad feeling today. '

(In the lair)

Michelangelo sat up in his bed and stretched as he yawned. He decided to read one of his comic books.

Raphael was downstairs punching his punching bag mumbling to himself

'That Girl better watch it. 'He continued grumbling.

Leonardo shook his head.

"Raph stop grumbling she is an amateur fighter; Why did you try and go after her yesterday like that?"

Raphael glared

"No one asked you Splinter Junior she tries me again or tries to fight me I'm fighting back I am not backing down! "Leonardo sighed

"Oi you're such a damn hot head I swear. "

Raphael continued punching his punching bag.

"Whatever "

Donatello was in his lab still doing research on the girls he pulled up records of Faith of what she did back then and such he was reading he called his brothers in.

"Come here bros look what I found out. "Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo rushed to Donatello and looked on Donatello's computer screen.

Michelangelo was reading and he read what it said.

"A power I didn't know there was such thing dudes? "

Raphael rolled his eyes.

He read the words on the screen

"So what does this mean Don? We have to protect those pathetic girls?"

Leonardo slapped Raphael in the back of his head.

"Yes it does Raph and stop calling them pathetic. "

Raphael rubbed his head.

"I don't want to protect them especially that Rashia chick. "
Leonardo glared.

"Well too bad we have to and we are going to protect them no matter what you say Understood?"
Raphael slammed the door.

"WatEva I'm out! "he stormed out and went above ground and watched the streets below.

(Above Ground)

Rashia was alone by herself she was in her kick boxing uniform and headed into the gym.

Raphael spotted her from the corner of his eye and stayed hidden waiting for her to come out though he was still pissed and annoyed he stayed hidden as the time passed.

Faith was working in her store she was thinking and was doing her business.

Violet was in the library reading her romance novels.

Jamie was home eating her pizza watching her shows.

7 hours passed Raphael stretched from waking up when he seen Rashia finally leaving the gym he followed her quietly staying hidden in the shadows.

He looked at her from a distance and seen her go into the alley he narrowed his eyes and jumped down staying quiet he noticed she had a piece of glass in her leg. He sighed

And jumped in front of her.

"What happened?" Rashia looked up

"Why are you following me? You're a stalker and I take this way to get home someone threw a piece of glass at me." She was bleeding.

Raphael calmed down for once he got on his knees and placed his hands on it.

"This will hurt so count or bite something it will be 1 23. "

Rashia looked.

She took out her boxing glove and bit it.

Raphael counted to 3,

"1,2,3!" He pulled it out of her leg, she screamed loudly.

"OW! "Raphael grabbed her and took her up on the roof and sat her down.

"You big baby. "He bandaged her leg. "See all done. "

Rashia looked at him puzzled.

"Why did you help me? Why were you following me? "

Raphael took a deep breath.

"You ask a lot of questions kid but it's because we need to protect you and your friends now I'm not too fond of it because you think you're all that when you're not, but we need to because of your friend Faith. She has a power that the Shredder will try to get his greasy claws on. "Rashia looked at him.

"I'm sorry from yesterday I don't like being called a punk I'm not a lowlife nor am I dumb I just have a bad temper I always have since I was born. "

Raphael looked at her as his red bandanna flown in the wind.

"Kid you have a problem like me but picking a fight with me isn't your best choice I can kill! I almost killed my baby brother during training once. "Rashia stood up she still felt pain but she walked over to him then she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"You don't seem like a jerk or anything like that "She looked at him.

Raphael shrugged her hand off his shoulder.

"Thanks but anyway let's get you home So nothing bad happens to you can you walk?"

Rashia was limping she could barely walk.

Raphael sighed as he picked her up.

"Hold on alright. "Rashia blushed lightly but hid it as she held on to him.

Raphael jumped from building to building as he arrived at her place through her window and laid her on her bed.

"I'll be back tomorrow to check up on you get some rest and don't take the alley way again "He exited her room through the window.

Rashia looked at him as he left.

'Wo-w. 'she fell asleep instantly smiling.

Raphael looked back and continued heading home when he saw Faith walking alone. He said to himself.

'Why the hell is she walking alone '? He dialed Michelangelo's shell cell.

Michelangelo answered his shell cell

'Yo Michelangelo here what's up 'Raphael rolled his eyes and spoke.

'Shell for brains it's me Raph that girl Faith is walking alone! Get your shell here now I'm at the corner of Maine street and 32nd Raph out. '

Michelangelo hung up and left the lair he went above ground and jumped the buildings staying hidden in the shadows. He arrived and landed besides Raphael.
"Where she go?" Raphael sighed

"Come on follow me I sense Trouble "they both jumped the roofs when they saw Faith still walking when she stopped.

Her long white hair flown in the wind her silver eyes glistened she looked behind her;

No one was there.

Then a noise came from the alley a girl voice was heard. A girl with short black hair and a red headband across her forehead came out and approached Faith.

"My father will like you to see him come with me or be forced to by my hand! "

Faith glared.

"I refuse to go with you or whoever the hell you are! "The girl chuckled.

"My name is Karai Saki we can do this the easy way or the hard way child! "

Raphael and Michelangelo jumped in front of her as Raphael spoke.

"I prefer the hard way you witch! "Karai chuckled.

"I didn't know Faith knew you freaks this should be fun! "She ran at Raphael with her katana in her hand.

Raphael blocked the katana with his sais he started to fight her.

"GET HER OUT OF HERE MIKEY NOW! "

Michelangelo grabbed Faith.

"What about you Raph?"

Raphael looked.
"I'll be fine NOW GO" he continued fighting Karai as he threw her into the wall

"You had enough? "

Michelangelo ran with Faith in his arms as he hid in the shadows.

"You're safe here now. "Faith was scared she held her knees.

Michelangelo held her.

"Calm down Faith everything is fine. "Faith didn't speak she was frightened because now she was some target.

Michelangelo continued holding her but kept his cool.

Raphael had the Sai to Karai's neck.

Karai threw smoke bombs down.

"Until next time Freak! "Her voice echoed.

Raphael glared and went to meet Michelangelo and Faith he found them and he looked

Faith was asleep in Michelangelo's arms.

Raphael looked.

"Really Mikey? "

Michelangelo looked

"What? She fell asleep she didn't speak at all she is frightened ".

Raphael shook his head.

'Let's get her home so we can go home. "They both left.

Michelangelo held Faith in his arms as she slept they arrived at her house 20 mins after they went through the window and laid her on her bed. Then they left her room quietly. They locked the windows for her and vanished into the night Until the next day.
