She hadn't been in the lair for 5 minutes when Mikey came running up to her.
"Hey can I talk to you?" he asked. Harley couldn't help but notice a different tone in his voice. He came off sounding kinda shy. He was also wringing his hands which was really weird for him.
"Sure." she stood there waiting for him to start talking.
"Not here though, I was hoping that we could go somewhere maybe a little more……uh private maybe."
"Ok whatever." Why was he acting so strange?
He grinned and grabbed her hand, pulling her out the door. She stumbled but regained her footing. Sheesh, somebody's in a hurry tonight.
"So where we goin?" she asked
"Away from the lair."
It was quiet except for the sound of water running through the pipes, and their feet against the cement. Suddenly he stopped.
"Did you hear that?" he asked
She nervously glanced around. "Hear what?"
"Never mind, just thought I heard something."
He started tugging on her arm again, trying to hurry her along. But Harley held her ground, refusing to move.
"I think we're far enough away from the lair. Would you just tell me what's going on?"
He turned towards her and giving her a nervous smile reached into his belt and produced a small gray velvet box , she was surprised she hadn't noticed it. Not saying a word he handed the box to her. Removing her hand from his she took the velvety feeling box from him and opened it. Inside the box lay a thin gold chain, on this chain was a little heart charm locket with an H engraved on it.
"Ohmigosh Mikey, it's beautiful." she said in whispered voice.
"Open it."
Removing the necklace from the box she opened it to find the picture that April had taken of Mikey and her the other day in the kitchen. He gently took the necklace from her hand and stepped around her, she knowingly lifted her hair and left the necklace drape around her neck she felt Mike hook it in the back and she let her hair down. She turned to face him.
"So where did you get this? I hope it wasn't expensive."
"I had April get it for me. And it wasn't to much. I….I.. I don't want you to forget me when you leave
"Mike I could never forget about you. And before I forget thank you." She leaned towards him to give him a kiss on the cheek. Mike, seeing this turned his head at the last second and instead of kissing him on the cheek she kissed him square on the mouth! She pulled back, surprised and smirked.
"Ha ha, very funny Michelangelo."
He couldn't hold it in any longer and he finally blurted it out.
"I like you."
She smiled, "I like you to Mike."
"No, I really like you."
She stepped back, "Your joking. Right?"
"I wouldn't joke about something like this."
She was completely speechless she didn't know what to say. Mike had told her that he liked her! And as much as she would like to say she liked him to she knew it would never work. They were completely different, and as much as she wasn't in a hurry to go home she knew she'd have to leave eventually, she couldn't just leave her family behind.
"I don't know what it is," he started. "There's just something about you that I'm drawn to. I mean you're nice, easy to talk to, sure you're a little weird but aren't we all?"
"Mike," she wanted to let him down as easy as possible but she knew that it wasn't going to be that easy. "It wouldn't work between us."
"But we could make it work."
"No, we can't. We're well I know this is gunna seem harsh to you but we're too different And I'm gunna have to go home eventually."
She could notice anger clouding his usual cheerful eyes, "You're right that is harsh," he growled "You think I'm some kind of freak don't you? That's what it is isn't it?!"
Harley was shocked at his outburst he usually wasn't like this. It was like he was stealing a page out of Raphael's book.
"That's not it at all!"
"Yea it is! Don't try to explain yourself because I know that's exactly what it is." and with that he stormed off down the tunnel.
She watched him stalk off and turned her face towards the ceiling of the tunnel and let out a frustrated growl. She ran her hand down her face and went down the tunnel in the same direction of Michelangelo, she was determined to find him and straighten everything out. She could hear loud bangs, and all sorts of noises up ahead, her fast pace decreased into a slow creep. She peeked around the corner and saw Mike engaged in battle with what she assumed to be the 'Foot' that Splinter had told her about.
He seemed to be doing well on his own she saw him disarm a man with one nunchuk, and hit a guy in the face with another. But he was to occupied with the people in front of him that he didn't notice the person creeping up behind him.
"MIKE!" she yelled "LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!"
He brought up a closed fist right into the face of the person behind him.
"Harley! Get outta here! Go get my bros."
She nodded and was about to leave when something collided with the back of her head and sent her sprawling. She moaned in pain, and everything started to spin and turn colors finally everything turned black as the darkness surrounded her.
Dancingfae- Thanks for the feedback. I'm just kind of writing the chapters as I go and I had this all planned out in my head so I thought 10 chapters would be sufficient enough. Although they are very short compared to most chapters that people write but I guess the more you write the longer your chapters become. This is actually pretty long for me.
