A Sense of Belonging

Chapter XIX: I'm With You

By: Michelle

Raphael listened to the directions Donatello gave him over the communicator.

"Great. Bonesteel has her."

Raphael drove up to the building and looked up. Sure enough, Venus was Bonesteel's prisoner.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Venus looked around. Everything was spinning.

^^^^^

I'm standing on the bridge

I'm waiting in the dark

I though you'd be here by now

^^^^^

Where were the Guys?

^^^^^

There's nothing but the rain

No footsteps on the ground

I'm listening but there's no sound

^^^^^

Didn't they care about her?

^^^^^

Isn't any one trying to find me

Won't somebody come take me home

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

^^^^^

What if they didn't want her to come back home?

^^^^^

I'm looking for a place

I'm searching for a face

Is anybody here I know

Cause nothing's going right

And everything's a mess

And knowone likes to be alone

^^^^^

What if they wanted her to go back to China?

^^^^^

Isn't any one trying to find me

Won't somebody come take me home

^^^^^

Venus lay down on the ground. Everything was spinning too fast. As she closed her eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks.

^^^^^

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

^^^^^^

"Let her go Bonehead." Raphael demanded.

"That's Bonesteel." He corrected and grabbed his dart gun. "And No."

^^^^^^

Why is everything so confusing

Maybe I'm out of my mind

Yeha,

Yeah,

Yeha,

Yeah,

Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

^^^^^^

"I'd like you to meet Bertha." Bonesteel said aiming for Raphael. "She and your turtle girl friend have already met."

Raphael glanced quickly at the unconscious Venus. "You're going to pay for that."

"No, I believe the freak show will."

^^^^^^

It's a damn cold night

Trying to figure out this life

Won't you take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

^^^^^^

Raphael threw his sais at Bonesteel pinning him against the wall.

"Hey, you wasn't suppose to that."

Raphael grabbed the fallen dart gun.

"I wasn't suppose to do this neither." He said and shot Bonesteel.

"Ow, that hurt." Bonesteel said. "Look the pretty colors."

"Asshole." Raphael whispered as removed his sais from the wall.

^^^^^^^^

Take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

^^^^^^

Raphael grabbed the keys from Bonesteel and unlocked the cage Venus was in.

"Venus."

Venus lightly opened her eyes.

"Hey Shinobi." Raphael said lifting her up.

"Hi."

"Raph's with you now." He said. "Let's go home."

^^^^^^

Take me by the hand

Take me somewhere new

I don't know who you are but I

I'm with you

I'm with you

I'm with you
