~Cliff hanger? Me? Oh well I guess that was one :o) BTW = by the way, I just wanted to say thank you to ziptango for the review, I was having a downer evening and you helped cheer me up a bit. Everyone else, when you get a chance, please review, thank you.
The men at my door were the same ones I saw robbing the stores a little while ago. I tried to slam the door, but they just pushed their way in. I ran around the couch and threw a vase, which they easily dodged and went to tackle me. Screaming I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. They pounded on it and I heard it crack as it started to give way. I cowered in the shower stall when I heard the door pulled off it's hinges.
Two stormed in grabbing my arms. I struggled against them, making my towel fall off but I didn't care, I wanted them to let go of me. One got tired of my screaming and smacked me in the face. I still had a slight bruise from my eye and this only made it sting like hell.
"Ow, ow, okay, ow," I said in pain.
"Shut up," one guy yelled. I bit my lip and closed my eyes.
"Now, for sending two of our boys to jail, we're gonna make sure you can't do it again. I gasped as I felt something sharp trickle across my stomach. Looking down, blood started to seep from the wound and drip onto the carpet. I looked up and saw that there were only four of them, but that was enough to hold me down.
"If you're going to kill me," I said looking at the guy in front of me. "Then why should I bother being quiet." And I started screaming at the top of my lungs again.
"Leonardo, Michelangelo, James," I screamed. "Anybody!" This pissed the guy off and he started to punch me in the stomach over and over again, With each hit I felt myself growing fainter and fainter. Seeing I was half unconscious at this point they threw me on the ground again and one started to undo his pants. I shook my head slowly.
"Why are you murderous fiends always horny bastards?" I stammered out. They stripped the rest of my clothes off, and I closed my eyes.
"Shut up bitch, you deserve this." My head fell back and then I heard a voice from the doorway.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" It was James. "Melody." Oh, he's calling my name, I thought to myself. One of the ninjas grabbed James and held his arms behind his back.
"Hey there," One of the ninja's said. "Now you can watch your girlfriend get what she deserves."
"Hey," came a shout from the balcony. "What is it with you ninjas, are you just gluttons for punishment?" All of a sudden the ninja was off of me and James was free. He covered me with his jacket and looked around at what was going on. A turtle was fighting the four ninja's. The ninja's realized that they weren't going to win and ran out of the apartment.
"And stay out," I looked and saw who it was.
"Leo," my voice was all light and airy. "You've come to see me, are you going to watch my performance?" All James could do was stare. Leonardo came over and put his hand on my head.
"You ahh," James was going to freak out.
"James," I put a hand on him. "It's okay, he's my friend," I said and laughed.
"She's delirious," Leonardo said. "Call who ever you have to call and let them know she can't perform tonight.
"No," I tried to get up. "The show must go on." I lay back down and sighed.
"I'll go down to the theater and tell the director, that she was attacked again," James said. "You're not going to hurt her, are you?" Leonardo just gave James a look. "Right." Then James practically ran out of there.
"Okay Melody," Leonardo said lifting me up. "You're going to get dressed, pack some clothes and come home with me.
"Okay," I sounded like I was drunk. Seeing that there was no way I could dress myself, Leonardo helped me dressed. Well, he dressed me while I staggered around was more like it, then he laid me down on the bed while he found a bag and packed some stuff into it. The next thing I knew, I was waking up on a couch with a rat looking over me. I jumped to sit up but moaned and sinked back down onto the couch.
"Oh," I put a hand on my head. "Okay, who ran over my apartment?" My hand was resting on a bandage. "What happened?"
"Rest now my child," The rat said. "You'll feel better in the morning." I sighed and fell back asleep.
"Is she going to be okay, Sensei?" Leonardo asked.
"Yes," replied Splinter. "It's a good thing you didn't leave her alone. It seems when they must have thrown or smashed her to the ground, giving her a nasty bruise on the back of the head." Splinter looked up to Leonardo.
"If she doesn't improve in the morning, we'll need to get her to a hospital." Splinter looked back down at Melody. "But I don't think that will be necessary."
