AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thanks so much for the reviews! I'm glad that lots of you are enjoying this story! :) much more stuff to come! keep on reading! :) and sorry about the wierd spacing on the last chapter...stupid copy and pasting on my comp doesn't like to work properly.

"L, is for the way you look at me..." I sang happily as I danced about my appartment. I was on proverbial cloud nine. Everything was perfect. I was living my dream and I had a wonderful boyfriend to share it all with. My heart soared as I thought of Mikey. He was everything I could have hoped for and alot more. Hence the giddiness and singing cheesy love songs. Oh, it was a good time.

Little did I know at that moment I was being watched. If I had, I would have been prepared. For the next thing I knew, I was surrounded by what I recognized as foot soldiers. I knew their outfits from ones that the boys put on their dummies while training.

"You will come with us." one of them said.

"What? Why?" I demanded, getting scared now.

"Because having you will lead them to us." he answered, as he walked menacingly towards me.

"I don't bloody well think so!" I said, and grabbed the closest thing to me that I could use as a weapon. Unfortunately for me, that object was a frying pan. Not exactly the most ideal thing to use but if it would help, then so be it.

I swung it at who I could while they tried to get at me from every angle. I felt it connect with one of them and a thud. It was a start. Unfortunately, I was dealing with professional fighters. In a flash, one of them knocked my weapon out of my hands and whacked me with it. blackness filled my eyes and I knew no more.

When I woke, I groaned. My face hurt like a sonofabitch. One of my eyes refused to open and I immediately knew that it was swollen shut. Great. I was also tied up. I could feel the rope rubbing against my skin while I tried to move my hands.

"It's no use." a deep, clearly japanese voice said. I looked up and with my one eye I took in the sight of the man before me. A cold chill of dread filled when I realized it was The Shredder. Now I was REALLY in trouble.

"Shredder!" I gasped.

He chuckled coldheartedly. "Ah, smart girl you are." he walked towards me and touched my cheek with one of the pointed blades on his forearm armour that stuck out from his wrist and extended past his hands by a good foot. With a growl, he struck it across my face, cutting my flesh. I flinched at the pain, but refused to cry out. There was no way he would get that sadistic pleasure from me.

"That," he whispered in my ear, "Was only the beginning."

The unspoken threat hung in the air for a long moment making me dread even more what he had planned for me.

"I know of your association with the turtles." he announced. "And now, it will be your and their downfall!"

Suddenly, one of the foot soldiers entered the room with something large in his hands. It was wrapped in a blanket. I watched as they carried it towards me and laid it next to me. Shredder, with a look of pure evil in his eyes, lifted the blanket off the object. It was a chest. But what was in it? I prayed with all my might that the boys would learn I was gone and would come running or whatever was in the box would surely make me meet my demise.

'Oh God, Mikey...please find me!' my mind screamed out as though there was some way he could hear me.

I heard the creaking of hinges and realized they had opened the chest. Inside, was a book along with several small decorative bottles. I tried to read the title of the book, but it was in japanese. I felt like crying again, but I wouldn't let my fear get the better of me. If I was going to survive, I had to be strong.

Shredder picked up the book and studied me for a moment. "I would assume that you want to know what this is for?" He said, gesturing at the book.

I merely nodded, too scared to speak.

"This is for summoning an ancient and powerful evil that will destroy anyone or anything it's master wishes. the bottles contain the ingredients for the spell. But most important of all, it needs a human vessel to survive." he said, looking pointedly at me.

"And since you are a friend of my enemy, you were naturally the perfect choice."

My eyes went wide. I was going to play host to something that would in turn harm my friends and my boyfriend! I struggled with renewed vigour. Shredder only laughed and motioned for his minions to begin the spell.

meanwhile...

The four turtles were sitting in the living room while Mikey paced. In his hands was a letter. A letter informing him that Shredder had his girlfriend captive. It was the last line that haunted him the most.

"By the time you read this, the spell with be already underway..there is no way to save her or yourselves."

Filled with a rage he had never felt in his life, he grabbed his chucks from his room, stuffed them in his belt, and left. His brothers followed suit, grabbing their own weapons.

"Let's kick some ass." he growled. If it was any other day, they would have fainted at that. Mikey never used language like that. But since the woman he cared about was in danger, they let it slide.

They reached the warehouse where shredder had said they were. Foot soldiers lined the outside and were even on the roof.

"Shit!" Raph growled, breaking the tense silence. "They're everywhere!"

"Thank you Captain Obvious!" Donny said.

"Well, we've gotta go now!" Mikey shouted to his brothers and they proceeded to attack the foot soldiers outside. Once enough of them were out of the way, Mikey made his way stealthily of course, inside.

This was it, I thought sorrowfully while Shredder sprinkled the last of the ingredients around me, I was going to die. Tears spilled down my face.

'And you won't even get to tell him,' a small voice inside me said, 'that you love him.' my body was now wracked with sobs. Why? Why did I have to realize now? just when everything was falling apart?

"Oh, Mikey...I'm sorry..."

"Sorry about what, babe?" my eyes flew open. "Mikey!"

"Shh! you have to be quiet for me. otherwise, they will know I'm here." I obeyed instantly. Mikey was here! The boys made it! While my hero worked on my ropes, the warehouse began to shake. Thunder sounded from outside. Oh, great! it was underway!

The next thing I knew, I saw a huge two-toed foot kick Shredder in the back of the head, knocking the book out of his hands.

"That's it for you, Shred head!" Raph said, twirling his sai menacingly.

"Way to go, Raph!" I shouted. He smiled and bowed before proceeding to the kick the butts of some foot soldiers.

When I was free, Mikey scooped me up in his arms and we ran to get outside. Unfortunately for us, the fighting was testing the wear and tear of the building. It began to quake and fall apart. Any moment now, it would collapse taking us with it if we didn't move fast enough.

"My spell is ruined!" I could hear Shredder shout. "You will pay!"

Once we were outside, Mikey set me down and I threw myself into his arms. "Oh thank god!" I said and hugged him fiercely.

"I'm glad you're okay, babe. But I gotta go finish the job." he said, and took off back into the warehouse.

"For god's sake, be carefull!" I shouted after him.

I listened and watched as metal hit metal and foot soldiers were tossed left and right. Mikey, as I noticed, was in the thick of it, tangling with Shredder on the roof! I watched in horror as they took deadly swings at each other. Only one was going to come out of that fight alive. To make matters worse, the warehouse was shifting precariously. Just then, the roof caved in. Mikey flipped off the roof and landed with a tumble to the ground. Shredder wasn't so lucky. He fell right through the roof. Dust filled the air as the rest of the building fell down with a loud crash.

As it cleared, I saw the four of them walking slowly towards me. Mikey, however, broke into a run. I stood and ran into his arms. We kissed each other hungerily.

we ignored the sounds of his brothers groaned and muttering things about us needing to get a room and just enjoyed the moment.

In the rubble behind us, we didn't notice a dusty and very bloody but alive Shredder come out of the debris. He limped over to where a vehicle was hidden under the now destroyed building. Climbing in, he managed to start it. This we all noticed.

"Shit!" Raph said and we all ran for all we were worth. I felt the car gaining on me. I ran with renewed vigor. But, it wasn't enough. I heard the engine revving and then the next thing I knew, I felt it collide with my body...and then nothing...
