Enjoy!
I panted as I climbed inside of an old crate. Good thing I did to, Dark Mikey just ran around the corner, "Oh my scrumptious little snack! Where are yooouuu?" He called looking around. I bit my lip as I peeked through a small hole in the gross wood.
"Why did we have to snatch the one that was good at hiding?" Dark Raph growled as he came in from another tunnel. I saw Dark Leo and Dark Don come in from another tunnel.
"Don't worry she can't be far. We last longer than they do, won't be long until she gets tired or something." Dark Don said as they were about to go off into another room when a beacon went off.
"It's the boss." Dark Mikey said, "Do we tell him about the girl?"
I winced at the sound of a 'smack' and Dark Mikey whining about how much he has to deal with. The sound of a man's voice silenced all of them and I saw Darius Dun walk in with a large exo-skeleton following him, mimicking his every move.
He ranted on about how they were a waste of space, and how they never did their jobs right, and that he asked so little of them but they continued to fail him. I grew rather sorry for them as the bigger went on and on. They may have been a little cruel but they didn't deserve this, I felt sorry for them but I was not staying around. I decided to leave, but not before I heard Dark Raph growl.
"Gosh I hate that guy! Why can't I ever turn him into mincemeat?" He complained.
"We can't do that and you know it shell-for-brains! Not while we have this hypnotic sensor in our brains anyways." Dark Don grumbled.
"Come on. Let's go take down the turtles." Dark Leo said before they left. I waited until I was absolutely sure they were gone and even then I was completely quiet as I snuck down the sewer tunnels heading for one that I knew like the back of my hand. It sent a shiver down my back at how close I had come to danger so many times before I continued on walking.
I reached a ladder and smiled at my minor victory. I quickly scaled the metal structure and heaved up on the manhole cover, groaning with the effort it took to push it off and onto the street. I popped my head out and looked around, it was pitch black and fog swirled over the street giving it a rather spooky atmosphere.
I kicked the cover back over the tunnel before walking back into the cemetery. I went over to my family's corner, I kneeled in front of the headstones and just sat there. I didn't cry, I didn't speak I just sat there. Letting the fog swirl around me and slowly I let myself fall asleep.
I groaned as I woke up and looked around. I was in a large field with the sun shining and the birds chirping. A butterfly flew by and landed on my nose I blinked and it flapped its wings once before it flew off.
"Autumn."
I gasped and whirled around, "Mom?!" I gasped at the sight before me. My mom and dad were standing there holding hands, "Dad?"
They smiled and held there arms open. I cried as I ran at them and jumped into their arms. They hugged me and I felt tears running down my face.
"Honey," Mom said as she pulled away from me, "I know you've missed me and your daddy but we don't have much time." I pulled away from them and cocked my head to one side.
"You arrived at that orphanage and it was broken and falling apart. Those poor children had lost hope, they were broken mentally and spiritually. But you brought them hope. I was so proud of my baby girl, but now you've got a new place to bring hope and happiness to."
They started fading away from me and I began to panic as I couldn't feel them anymore.
"It's time for you to overcome your fears baby girl. Just know that we love and we'll always watch over you."
My mom's voice began to fade, and I lost consciousness.
I groaned as I woke up and looked around. I was back in the cemetery and it was still pitch black outside. Slowly, I stood up and started walking back to the gate when I heard a low growl. I gulped and slowly turned around to find myself face to snout with the biggest dog mutant I have ever seen.
And I being the most intelligent being growled at it. It stalled before roaring at me. I stood stark still as it's rancid breath nearly blew me over.
"Right, AAHHHHHH!" I screamed before running in the opposite direction of the deranged animal. I sporadically (couldn't resist XD) ran through the puddles not caring how dirty I got mostly focused on my need for survival. I tripped over an uncovered root and fell into a rather large puddle. I tried to get up only to fall back in pain. My foot was twisted and stuck under the root, holding me in place.
The dog mutant growled as it got closer. I looked up at it and saw it pounce at me. I covered my face with my arms, but the pain never came. I looked up and was majority confused at the sight in front of me.
Dark Leo had saved me and was repeatedly punching the dogs face and side. The fight looked to be in his favor until the dogs jaws snapped back and sank into his forearm. He yelled in pain before drawing his sword and stabbing the creature in the chest. A gurgling sound came from it before it died.
I let my arms fall into the water in my shock as I gazed up at the panting turtle.
"That's...why you...don't try...and...escape." He panted before coming over and slicing through the root. "Don't know what's out here after dark." He offered me his hand and I was about to take it when I saw the blood dribbling down it.
"You're hurt!" I shouted jumping to my feet.
He paused and looked down at his arm, "Just a scratch." He lightly swayed and I sighed, having an internal debate with myself before listening to what my Mom had told me.
"Do you guys have a medical kit?"
I was currently in Dark Leo's personal room with him sitting on his bed. I was looking for the medical kit that he had told me about. I reached for a metal square I saw and smiled at the red '+' beaming up at me.
I turned and frowned when I saw Dark Leo licking his wound, like a dog would.
"Hey, don't be doing that now. I don't what kind of germs you have in your mouth from that crud that that creep Darius feeds you." I said before setting the first aid kit on the bed next to him and opening it. I pulled out some bandages and some rubbing alcohol followed by iodine.
"Okay, now I've gone through this myself but I will tell you this is probably going to really sting." I warned before placing the rag soaked with rubbing alcohol right on the wound. He roared and smacked at me. I gasped and dodged.
I placed the rag back on but pulled his arm away and smacked at me again, "It would hurt less if you stopped moving!" I snapped staring him down.
"None of this would have happened if you hadn't attempted to escape." He snarled.
"I wouldn't have tried to escape if you hadn't attacked me." I stated.
"Well if you..." He trailed off and I sighed.
"No I'm sorry. I shouldn't be angry, you did just save my life after all. Thank you, but why did you do that?"
"I don't have to tell you that." He snapped back at me. I winced but sighed and continued cleaning his wound.
There was a heavy sigh, "Why did you help me?" He asked as I continued cleaning his wound.
"It's a choice I made. It's also how I grew up, I was raised in an environment that said if you get the chance to help someone, do it."
I said continuing my work. "It's a choice I live by and I will live by, I see a need, I'm gonna fill a need." I said as I patched up his arm with the last bandage. Sighing, I looked down at my iodine covered hands, "Well, I'm gonna go wash up. I know for a fact that I will not taste good covered in iodine." I said putting the first aid kit back where I got it.
I headed out the door when I felt a weight land on my shoulder. I jumped and turned around to see Dark Leo standing there with a calculating gaze, "We can wait to eat you." He finally stated. I smiled before looking at the floor, I felt money in my pocket and came up with an ideas, "Say...have you guys ever had burgers?"
I swallowed the second bite of my burger when Dark Mikey came over to my position at the bottom of the crate pyramid.
"Are Y-you gonna eat those?" He asked gesturing at my untouched French fries. I smiled and shook my head before scooting over and patting the ground next to me, "Come on, have a seat." He seemed indecisive, shifting from foot to foot, he finally plopped next to me. I grabbed my large box of greasy treats and held it out to him.
"You're just going to give them to me? Just like that?" He asked as if expecting me to snatch them back and taunt him.
"Well, sure. Ya asked fer 'em so I figured I'd give 'em to ya." I said extending the box even further towards him.
He gently closed his hand around the box, before smiling at me and beginning to munch happily. I finished my little cheeseburger and stood up with a sigh, "That was good. I hope you guys enjoyed it, I'm gonna hit da hay."
I turned around and draped the trench coat Dark Leo had given to me over one shoulder before I began climbing up the crate pyramid until I reached the top four. I spread the coat out underneath me before turning to face the turtles, "Good night!" I called down to them before flopping onto my stomach and quickly falling asleep.
Hope y'all are enjoying this as much as I am writing this! GOODNIGHT AND I LOVE PIE!
No not really but I just had to say it...
PEACE!
