Chapter 7: Weird behavior

"What in the ...." Apirl asked hearing a voice yelling in the sewer she and Juliet jumped out of the way seeing a flash of green on a skateboard and a flash of tan right behind the green. "Hey Michelangelo, Fox we're walking here!" Juliet called to the skatebroading turtle and boy as she and Apirl carried a bag of gorecies into the lair, there they met by Master Splinter. "Apirl, it is good to see you again." He greeted Apirl. "Thank you Splinter and it is good to see you too." The red haired reporter said putting the gorecies in the kicten with Juliet.

It had been three months since the day Juliet and Fox moved in and Juliet's arm was compelty healed, Donatello said that was abnormal but she said to never look a gifted horse in the mouth. So Juliet was training every day with the turtles, mostly without weapons but she found she was good with the bo and kanatas and pacticed often with them. Fox was better with the nun - chucks and sai which surprised Juliet, she also noticed under influcene of the turtles and Master Splinter he came more brazen but he was also delevoping a strict code of honor like the one the turtles followed.

And since Juliet met Apirl a month ago they had become great friends since they was the only girls of the group. "So Juliet there is something I have to ask you." Apirl said. "What is it?" Juliet asked. "How are you around the guys? What do you think of them?" Juliet thought about it for a moment.

"Well I think of them like the brothers I never had though they drive me carzy sometimes. They treat me like an equal or sister and Master Splinter is like the father I never knew. As far as what I think about them .... well Leonardo is cool, he is very loyal and is the leader type. Donatello is probaly smarter the Elstein was, he would probaly be able to be able to think a way out of any problem. Raphael is really tough but he is good at heart, if he can stand me and Fox all the time he has to be that and he knows a lot about fighting. Michelangelo is funny, he is always trying new stuff and when I'm down knows how to cheer me up. And Master Splinter is very wise and kind, he been helping me try to get thourgh my nightmares and started my training so I was some what up to speed with the turtles and he is starting on Fox's training." Juliet answered, Apirl nodded.

"Yea I know. Well I'm going to start dinner, you can help me if you want." She offered but Juliet shook her head. "Sorry Apirl but I'm heading back top side, I want to get some more fresh air. And hope Michelangelo and Fox does not run me over in the sewers." She said and getting a dagger she started to leave but Donatello stopped her. "Hold on Juliet, if Shedder cacthes you, you are going to need a better weapon. Here take my bo." He said and tossed it to her, Juliet caught it and strapped it to her back. "Just makes sure the police or any civilans don't see you." He wraned. "No problem Donnie." She said to him as she took a path in the sewers to a man hole near Centeral Park.

It was near sunset so there wasn't many people around and Juliet was gald as she sat down on a grassy peice of ground and looked at the trees, it was early fall so the leaves was starting to change colors to red, orange and yellow. Juliet removed her locket from her shirt letting it hang infornt of her heart, though she trusted the others she never let her locket hang in full view when she was around them, something told her doing so would not be a good idea. But then Juliet heard footsteps behind her as the hairs on the back of her neck stood up, she jumped up and faced a man in a trench coat.

"Shedder." Juliet hissed regonizing him as she garbed the bo from her back and stood in a defensive stance in a matter of seconds. "Well, well I see you are healed up and trained by the freaks I see. But can you fight me?" He asked mockingly.

"Make a wrong move and we will see." Juliet said ready for a fight, wanting him to try something to start a fight. Shedder swiped at her face but Juliet knew that trick and turned Donatello's bo so it blocked Shedder's swipe to her stomach and face, she retailated with an upper cut right to his jaw cacthing Shedder both off gaurd and off balance.

"How do ya like that? Lets see how you can fare aganist someone who can fight back." She said to him, Shedder growled in anger and slashed at Juliet again but she jumped up and over him. Juliet turned and hit him in the stomach with the bo but she was unprepare for his next trick. Shedder kicked Juliet's legs out from under her and she rolled to the side but when she jumpped up Juliet found Shedder holding Donatello's bo, she had to dorp it when she rolled and Shedder had garbed it, succeding in disarming her. He tossed the bo a good distance away and Juliet knew to get to it she had to go past him.

Shedder looked at the defiant figure in fornt of him. It is almost a pity, the girl has skill but she is fighting for the wrong side. He thought but then saw something glinch in the fading sunlight, a chain holding a sliver locket glinched cacthing Shedder's eye. His eyes widened in regoniztion. It can't be. I gave it to .... He thought and looked at the eyes of the girl before him, they was pale blue. Like her's. He thought to himself as he stepped away. "Good, I see the turtles have trained you well. We will meet again." He said and suddenly disappered into the tree line.

Juliet wacthed Shedder walk away, ready for a trick but after he left nothing happened. Catiously she retrieved the bo and looked around, it was only her in the park. What was that about? She asked herself.
