Chapter 7.
Chris ran as fast as she could down the street, desperate to find Mikey and tell him how she felt. But wasn't paying attention to her surrounding, because she had entered a very bad part of town. Why? Because this turf belonged to the Purple Dragons! As she was running, she ran past two allies, unknown to her had a few streets thugs with purple dragon tattoos. They began to come after her!
Chris began to slow down to catch her breath, but as soon as she stopped for one minute, she looked down the street she came from, she saw a few figures in the distance. She gasped and began to walk again, only to run into something hard. She didn't dare look, but for whatever kind of reason that possessed her, she looked up into the eyes of a street thug, he was tall and had black shaggy looking hair, had on a black leather vest with metal chain necklace, black leather pants, and dark brown combat boots and a purple dragon tattoo that rapped around his left arm and over all he looked very muscular.
He looked down at her and had an evil smirk on his face.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? A little mouse that lost its way." He said has he grabbed her hand.
"Please, I'm just trying to get home, I'm not looking for trouble." She said with a hint of fear in her voice. He only gave soft dark laugh. Soon the other thugs that were following her caught up and looked at the scene before them.
"Aw great, Daric beat us to her." One of the thugs said
"Sorry boys, but if you want this girl, your gonna have'ta wait your turn." Daric said as he pushed her up against a brick wall.
To say that Chris was terrified was an understatement. She felt more fear than she ever had, but that feeling was replaced when she felt a burning sensation from her necklace. In her mind she could hear the beast growl with rage and anger, and the one she feared the most, was bloodlust.
"please listen, you don't want to mess with me, if you don't leave now, your all gonna be terrible danger!" She said as a trickle of sweat ran down the side of her head, but the thugs only laughed.
"And just what do you think a pretty little thing like you, can do to a couple of big strong guys like us?" Unfortunately for them, they failed to see that Chris nails were changing into long black claws, and the skin on her arm was being replaced with scales.
"Well, were waiting." And as if on Q, her arm lashed out and cut him right on the cheek, leaving four long claw marks that were dripping with blood. He screamed in agony and backed away from her holding his injured cheek. Chris on the other hand, began to back away into the dark, black, ally that was right beside them.
"You little!" One of the thugs ran into the ally hoping to beat this girl senseless, but that was heard was his scream of terror. The others looked at each other with confusion and tried to deeper into the ally, but the only thing they saw were two giant piercing blood red eyes. They backed away in horror as they heard the creature growl, soon something shot out of the ally, it flew right over their heads. When they turned to see what it was, their eyes widened when they saw it was their member, with four long claw marks on his back that were staining his shirt with blood. They soon heard the creature growl again, they turned and saw that it was coming out of the ally.
They were greeted with a giant dragon looked lizard with red eyes, gigantic wings, long black claws, and in the middle of its forehead was a dark blue gem. It glared daggers into them, and if looks could kill, they'd already be dead. But the one thing that they were truly afraid of, was the dark red stain on its claws and on its front teeth.
It finally had enough of looking at their ugly mugs and roared in their faces. That when they ran away like they were chickens with their heads cut off. When they were gone it licked off the red stain of its teeth and on its claws. When it was finally calm its eyes changed from blood red to sky blue human eyes. Chris was back in control, but didn't feel like changing back to her human form just yet. She looked around and there was no sign of life on this street. So while the coast was clear she spread her wings and took off into the air.
She rose higher and higher until she was in the clouds. She looked down and saw the whole city from above, the lights were becoming visible as the sun began to set. She did enjoy the feeling of freedom when she flew, the wind in her face the sounds of the city you could hear from above, and the views were completely worth all she just went through. She did wish that she could be free from the sprit that this form belonged to, but what else could she do? She had nowhere else to go, so if that's what has to happen, then it will. The sun had set and the stars were out, every star could be seen tonight, and the lights were very beautiful from above. She then saw something moving along the rooftops, thanks to this form she could see at least 100 miles away with out even trying. She saw four figures jumping from roof to roof, a smile appeared on her face she realized who it was. The turtles! She then began to descend closer to the ground, but decided to follow them from the sky, at least from a distance she could see them just fine.
(with the turtles)
As the guys were going about their nightly patrol, they were a little upset that there wasn't any action tonight. The guys weren't to far from where Mikey and Chris had their little skateboarding competition. Mikey still remembered the tender moment they shared, he really liked her, and he wanted her to know it, with any hope that little move he made will give her a hint.
They stopped on one of the buildings to take a quick look around, Leo was looking out at the city, Don was watching the cars go by and looked at lights that illuminated the city. Raph was sitting on the ledge of the building jut staring off into space. Mikey on the other hand was looking in the direction that lead to the construction site where he and Chris saw each other not too long ago.
His mind kept drifting back to that one moment he had with her. Some how he just had to tell her how he felt, but what would she say? He was brought out his thoughts when a giant shadow drifted over them. He looked up to see some kind of wing in the sky, it was too big to be any ordinary animal, and too animalistic to be a plain. For some reason when he saw it, it flew in another direction extremely fast.
"Hey guys, you ready to go hunt'en?" he asked his brothers.
"What are you talking about Mikey?" Don asked giving him the same strange look the others did.
He pointed up into the sky and when they looked up they saw the same thing he did. So without hesitation they followed their younger brother to see what they were chasing and see if they could catch it.
(Back with Chris)
As she went through the night watching her friends and the boy she liked from above, she had to stop in mid air because they stopped. Her wings were flapping up and down slowly and hard in order to keep her in the air. She used her enhanced sight and saw that Mikey was looking right at her through the clouds. For fear that she would be seen, she began to fly in the opposite direction heading towards an old abandoned warehouse.
She landed and pulled the doors apart to open them as far as they could. She went inside and went into a corner where there was no light, she sat there and curled up into a ball trying her best to hide herself, if the guys ever found out it was her, she would never have the courage to face them again, esp. Mikey.
When the guys got there they scanned their surroundings, they then saw the old warehouse and saw that had been prided open. They went to take a closer look, when they looked at the door, they saw it was bent and four holes in it from where it was being opened by force. They looked in and saw nothing, but they weren't gonna give up their search just yet.
As they stepped in it was obvious that it was covered with cobwebs, and the old creates were covered in dust. Tools were scattered all over the floor and old pieces of equipment layed on the ground covered in dust and rust. (A/N: Didn't mean to make that rhyme.)
Chris was trying her best to keep perfectly still, her tail was kept close to her body and her wings were tucked down onto her back. If she could keep as quiet as possible, maybe they would leave. But for some reason fait decided to be cruel. She accidentally hit one of the creates and the box sitting on top of it fell and hit the ground with a loud crash. She cringed at the loud sound and it felt she was paralyzed from top to bottom.
The guys heard the crash and went farther into the back. Mikey was the first to go in and took a quick look around, when he turned to the left he saw where the create fell. Suddenly in the shadows he saw something move, and it sounded like it was being dragged across the floor. When he went to get a closer look he was met with a pair of huge sky blue eyes. He backed up a little bit, but went towards the creature slowly.
Chris was, however, freaking out! She didn't him to see her, not like this, but when she gave it some thought, he didn't know what or who she was. Maybe it was ok to let him see her, but only if she didn't change back into her human form. So taking the chance she slowly moved her head forward.
Mikey was amazed that the creature let him see it, it brought its head out of the shadows slowly. With his curiosity at its peek, he stretched his arm out and towards it slowly. At first it backed away, but then it looked Mikey in the eye and came to him. That was when Mikey rested his hand on the creature's snout. Its breathing was slow and even, and its skin was very warm, Mikey then knew that the creature would do him no harm, so he started move his hand up and down. So technically he was petting it.
Chris did start to think that this was strange, seeing boy that she liked look at her in this form and actually petting her! You gotta admit that its weird, but not completely. In some strange way. The moment would have lasted, but one Mikey's brothers, called out to him when they saw the creature,
"Mikey get away from that thing!" Leo shouted. They were all prepared to attack, but Mikey stood in the way.
"Guys stop, he's ok! He's just afraid! Now would ya calm down?!"
Chris felt a little conflicted when Mikey kept referring her as a he, but I guess she doesn't have to be completely mad at him, after all he doesn't know that this he is actually a she.
"Look, at least let me prove to you that he's ok." The guys looked at him as if he was insane. To show his brothers that they were wrong, he turned his attention back to the creature, and out stretched his arm once more.
The looked him in the eye first then puts its nose against his hand. At first the guys were cautious because they didn't fully trust this monster, but Mikey trusted it and was kind to him, maybe they could trust it after all. It then pulled its head back and was heading for the door, it looked back them and made a gesture for them to follow it. They didn't know what was going to happen, but they might as well just get it over with.
Chris had one idea, and she just knew that the guys would love it, even though they didn't know what it was. When they were out of the warehouse, she turned her head to them and got down on all fours, her head laying flat on the ground.
The guys weren't sure, but one look from each other and they knew they had the same idea. They thought it was offering them a ride.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but going or it!" he said as hopped on the creatures back.
"Mikey are you sure that this is a good idea? You don't even know what this thing is planning to do." Leo said with a stern look on his face. But that earned him a low growl from the creature.
"Well if that thing trusts Mikey, I don't see how this can possibly go wrong." Raph said as he joined his brother on the creatures back.
"Actually when you think about it, it does sound really cool, so why not?" Donnie said; as he was next to join.
"I must out of my mind." Leo said to himself as he finally gave in and joined his brothers.
With all of them safely secured on her back, Chris got back up and flapped her wings up and down. She started to run and her wing went faster, she looked at her friends and saw that Mikey eyes were wide with amazement and joy as they were starting to take off. The others were just hanging on for dear life. She then jumped and her wings were carrying them in the air. She went up as high as she could go. Her wings settled and she glided across the sky.
The guys finally started to relax as the ride became a little smoother, but what they saw was completely breath taking.
An aerial view of New York City. The city below was lit up as if it were the fourth of July, bright lights could be seen, and the sounds of city were muffled with car horns and sirens.
From Chris's point of view this was a feeling of freedom. The wind you face, the sound of the city in your ears, just perfect. And to be able to experience this high in the air, the open sky. It was just perfect.
As for the guys, they knew this city up and down, but they never thought they would see it like this.
As they began their descent to the ground, she landed on top of one of the skyscrapers. The guys got off her back and stretched out their limbs. Mikey turned and looked the creature in the eye, he wasn't sure but he thought that it was smiling at him.
The moment would have continued, but out of nowhere Chris screeched in pain. The guys backed up, but Donnie got close to her and looked at her left ankle. She was pierced with arrow, and from the looks of it, it was in deep. Chris was panting heavily as a small stream of blood trickled down her ankle and onto the floor.
The guys turned to see the one thing they feared most. They were being attacked by the foot clan.
