Raph was put back in the cage by Ellis and was forced to eat their disgusting food they gave him. "I have to make a couple phone calls before people start coming in to buy. Carter, Doug go get the rest of the animals ready." Ellis started dialing the phone and talking to people.
Raph watched him, Ellis's back was turned towards him, so Raph took out the cats tag that he ripped off its collar and began to cut the bottom of the bar. Glancing up a couple times to make sure Ellis wasn't looking. He hissed as the cut on his hand started burning.
Sighing he pressed harder ignoring it. "If Leo never had fought with me all the time maybe i would never be in problems like these." Raph thought. He heard a click from the phone and quickly hid the tag.
"Alrighty giant turtle thing, you better behave well. The faster we get rid of you the better, then you wont have to stay with us any longer. Isn't that what you wanted." Ellis chuckled and left. Raph gritted his teeth, "when i get out of this cage they're all gonna regret it." He mumbled, grabbing out the tag and slicing the cage bar again.
"Are all the animals set." Ellis asked.
Yeah, we even groomed them." Doug replied.
"So do you think anyone will buy him." Carter gestured into the tent that the giant turtle was in."
"Its a giant turtle, who wouldn't want one!" Ellis exclaimed.
"Well it is aggressive. And he talks." Doug added in.
"We don't have to tell anyone that." Ellis whispered to them as if someone else would hear.
"Okay then that's it, we are opening in an hour." Carter informed them both.
Its been an full hour and Raph finally had one of the bars almost off. When Ellis, Carter, Doug and some other Person. It was a Woman, unbrushed blonde hair with smeared make-up and a black shirt with ripped skinny jeans.
She looked about 5" 8 with a slim face. Then Raph noticed her eyes. They were icy blue with orange in the middle. For some reason he couldn't look away from her eyes. He didn't like it something was off about her and he does not want to stick around and find out.
"You see here ma'am this is the giant turtle i was talking about. He is quiet different from most turtles we've seen but he is healthy and is well behaved." Ellis gave a sideways smile.
"Hmm. Anything else it can do?" The woman asked.
"Yea- it does..well." Doug scratched the back of his head, Coming up with ideas.
Raph didn't know whether to talk or keep quiet. It could go either bad or good. He decided maybe if he talked it would scare her off.
"I'm not for sale lady." Raph spat out.
The women looked shocked for a moment then it turned into fascination. "You didn't tell me it can talk." The women exclaimed looking down into his cage studying him some more.
"Well um yeah it c-can." Ellis stumbled over his words.
"I'll take him." The women smiled at him through the bars. Raph stared wide eyed at her. The smile puts him off edge, feeling her eyes bore into him. It's strange and he definitely is not staying with her. Who knows what she is capable of doing, he senses things off about her.
"Really!?" Doug exclaimed. Obviously happy that he doesn't have to deal with Raph anymore. Ellis elbowed him in the stomach to hush him. "Alright ma'am that'll have to be 750$." Ellis held his hand out. Carter and Doug were smiling in the back, Raph glared at them.
When the woman paid. She had Carter and Doug load his cage in the back of her car. "Thank you boys." She smiled at them. Raph wasted no time and he ripped off the bar, reaching his hand to open the lock. He heard a click and busted the cage door open.
They all gasped as he flew through the air and bolted off. "Get him!?" Ellis yelled.
Doug grabbed for his gun while carter got the rope. And chased after him With Ellis behind. Raph went straight for the woods running down the sloped mountain.
The woman picked up a controller. And examined it in her hand. "Hey boys i think you forgot this." She called to them. Pressing the button on the controller and watching the run away turtle in the distance.
Raph was running down the side of the mountain when a felt a shock of electrocution zap through his body. He tripped over a rock on the side and stumbled down. Now rolling down the mountain hitting trees and rocks including stumps. He rolled to a stop at the bottom of the mountain. Dazed and hurting. He tried to get up, stumbling over his own feet and face planting the ground.
"There he is!?" Ellis yelled pointing in his direction. They were running towards him now, weapons and nets in hand. Raph tried again to get up but a pain shot through his leg. He looked down at it noticing it was broken "Dangit!" Raph panted. His side was hurting now and his stitches were reopened.
Raph leaned against a tree gaining his balance and started to hobble away before he was tackled. He fell to the floor hitting his head on a rock. "Argh!?" Raph cried out. Pushing Ellis off of him and using him to get back up. he was pinned back down again by a net thrown on him by Carter. Raph squirmed around in the net, looking up at Carter who was above him smiling.
Raph turned to his side and rolled down a small hill, getting the net caught on a stick that was sticking out of the ground, cutting the net. Raph wriggled out of it and bolted deeper into the woods. Ignoring his broken leg and the stinging pain in his side. Blood is trickling down his face from new scratches and cuts and old ones that were once stitched up.
He panted, stumbling through the brush and thorns. He felt a prick on his neck and pulled at what got him. It was a tranquilizer dart. He looked and saw in the distance Doug with his gun. Raph became real dizzy, falling over onto the ground. He decided to crawl, he dizzily crawled to big stones making a tiny hiding spot. He crawled into the cramped area in an uncomfortable position. His world kept turning black. As he kept trying to keep his eyes open. He placed his hand on his side feeling blood start to leak out. He moaned in pain leaning his head on the stone wall, And blacked out.
