A/N: Sorry, it's taken awhile to write this, but lately I've been concentrating on my dark story: 'Revenge' So I've kinda neglected 'Motherhood'. So here it is for those who have been reading and reviewing. I might up this rating later, because it's gonna get a little violent.

Motherhood
By: TMNTlover4ever
Part 7: Captured/Coming of Age

The Red Dragon (Sheri):

Okay, my exit wasn't as cool as some people think. Actually, it couldn't have gone any worse, unless the Foot ninjas had seen what happened.

When I landed on the edge of the fire escape, my knees buckled from the cuts and I fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"What was that?" I heard a voice say from the street.

I crawled to the shadows, trying to avoid being seen.

"I don't know, but it came from over here," said a familiar gruff-like voice.

A whole mob of people came into the alley. They were all armed with guns or knives.

"Hey, look at this," said what I'm guessing was Angel's dad. He pointed to the little puddle of blood where I had landed and then the trail of blood drops I had left behind.

"Well, well, looky here. I've found something boys." he said as he grinned an evil grin at me.

"So who are you?" He asked.

"Your worst nightmare if you don't leave me alone." I threatened. Thank goodness Donnie put a voice modulator in this thing.

"Ooh...sassy boy, huh?" He said grinning. "What's with the costume thing? You a wannabe superhero or somethin'?" Angel's dad asked. Apparently he was the leader of the group.

"Well, what should we do with him?" He asked.

"Shoot him," said a voice from the back.

"No. I say we take off his mask and find out who he is. Who knows? There may be a nice prize under that mask," said a man with a redneck tone.

He reached down to grab my mask. The pain finally kicked in and I lost consciousness...


Greg Nickels, the guy who wrote the article and Angel's dad, reached down to grab the mysterious boy's mask. He grabbed it and pulled it off, seeing Sheri's face.

"Well, looks like you were right, Kepner." Greg said. "We got more than just any criminal, though, we got the ultimate prize. I'm sure Mr. Saki will pay a great deal for her." He added.

"Take her." Greg said.

A guy with a bald head and a scar on his right eye and another guy with black hair and dark eyes lifted her up by her arms and dragged her with the crowd.

Greg dropped the mask as he followed his gang.

"Should we announce this to the news, boss?" asked the redneck.

"No. We'll just say that she flew the coop and left to a different state or something." Greg said.

"Why?" The redneck asked.

"To build up publicity. If we say that she's heading for a different state, then that state will get worried. And when we announce later that she's been captured, then we'll be praised in two states. I am thinking about saying she's through the whole country, and maybe even the world." Greg said.

"I see. The better we look, the happier I am." The redneck added.

"And the better we look, the richer we get." Greg added.

"What about your little girl, that Sheri has? How we gonna get her to tell where she's at?" A stocky guy asked.

"I'm sure Mr. Saki will get her to talk." Greg smiled evilly as they walked into Foot HQ and all the Foot ninjas watched them in shock.

For years they had not been able to catch this girl. And this new gang did it within a few weeks!


Saki's Office:

"We brought you a present Mr. Saki." Greg said as his two associates threw Sheri's body on the ground in front of Oroku Saki.

"It seems my birthday has come early." Saki joked.

He picked up a briefcase that had been by his side for the last few weeks.

"Like we agreed, one million dollars for the girl." Oroku Saki said, handing over the briefcase.

"Good. Good. Nice doing business with you." Greg said. "Also, would you do me a favor?" Greg asked.

"Perhaps. It depends on what the favor is." Saki said.

"Well, Mr. Saki, I was wondering if you would mind interrogating Sheri about my daughter Angel. I need her back so I can 'relieve stress.'" Greg said.

"Well, I think I can arrange that. This girl has been a pest to me long enough, and I think it's time we ended it. I know of some ways we can torture her to no end." Saki's eyes gleamed with an evil satisfaction.

"Okay then. I will call you later to see how it goes." Greg said. He and his gang left.

"Take her to the chambers and do the usual first round." Saki commanded his ninjas to do.

His ninjas nodded with smirks on their faces, and took Sheri to the chambers below the building.

"This is going to be fun." Saki said as he held up a knife.


The Lair: Master Splinter
5:00am

I still sat on the couch, watching television. I had a worried look on my face and every few minutes I'd glance at the door, expecting to see a tired looking Sheri walking through it. The seconds went by and nothing happened. The minutes...hours...she still hadn't returned. Where could she be?

I felt something. Something bad had happened. Sheri usually came home around this time.

I walked into the kitchen, and to my surprise, saw my 12 year old sons, eating an early breakfast.

Leonardo was sipping tea and looked refreshed. My other sons looked tired and as if they wanted to go back to bed.

Leonardo looked up at me.

"Are you alright, Sensei? You look tired." He wondered.

"I've been up all night, Leonardo, waiting for Sheri to return." I said.

None of them seemed surprised by Sheri's name or asked who she was. Apparently they remembered her.

Angel came walking into the room in her pink nightgown and her pink blanket with Hello Kitty on it. And her Hello Kitty slippers.

"Whewe is Shewi?" She asked me.

"Umm...I do not know." I answered. You have to be truthful with kids. And Sheri told me she wanted Angel to be raised around the truth so she'd be able to handle truth when she was older.

Tears started to appear in her eyes. That broke my heart.

"We should go out and look for her." Raphael suggested.

"I'm not sure, my son. A lot of weird gangs are forming that are against mutants." I cautioned.

"As much as I hate to admit it, I think Raph's right, Sensei." Leonardo said.

"What if she is hurt or something worse has happened?" Michelangelo added.

"Yeah, we can't stand by and let that happen." Donatello chimed in.

I sighed.

"Okay, you may go." I permitted.

"I want to go too." Angel said with a sniffling voice.

"No, Angel. You have not reached the peak of your ninja skills. You must stay here where you are safer." I said.

She looked disappointed, but nodded soon after.

I looked down at the floor and sighed again, then I looked up, my sons had already gone.


Raphael:

"Leo, where the hell are we?" I asked.

"Language." He muttered.

"Leo, I'm 12. I can say whatever I want." I said.

"Yeah. Like that time you said 'ass' in front of Sensei. Yeah, he let you get away with that." Mike said in a sarcastic tone. Leo, Don, and himself chuckled.

I had called Mike an ass about a month ago, right in front of Master Splinter. Big mistake. He had made me do so many chores, I thought I was cleaning the whole lair. I hated it.

"To answer your question, we are in downtown New York." Leo said as he jumped off the overhand of a building and did 3 flips onto the next rooftop.

"Show off." I muttered.

The others followed and I did too.

"Does she have something we can track?" Leo asked Don.

"Yeah, in her shell-cell." Don said, taking out his tracker.

"I can't believe I forgot." He added.

"I can't either." Mike said in a joking matter.

Weird, Don usually never forgets things like that. He usually knows where all his inventions are. Now, it'll be easier finding Sheri, I guess.


Sheri:

I woke up in a daze. Everything seemed really fuzzy to me, but when I looked around I just saw a dark room with a light bulb in the middle of the room. Shackles were around my ankles and the chain went up to the ceiling, where ever the ceiling was...

There were jail bars in front of me, apparently I was imprisoned. It all came back to me. The captain, the blood, and Angel's dad.

I was cold, very cold. I looked down to see myself half-naked! My private parts were covered, but by my black underwear and black bra. And my locket was on. My ribs were bruised and hurt like hell. Scratches were all over my body.

I pulled my shackles, trying to free myself.

"Sheri, you don't want to end our session so early do you?" A voice said from the darkness. The cell opened and Oroku Saki appeared in his ceremonial robes.

"Actually, I wouldn't mind an early release." I retorted in the sassiest voice I could make. I glared at him.

"If looks could kill, I guess I would be dead right now." He said as he saw the look I gave him.

"I'm guessing that I've been your boys' play thing for some time now?" I asked.

"Yes, but I don't know what they've done. Now, to business. Where is Angel?" Saki asked.

"Whose Angel?" I asked.

"Don't play dumb with me, Sheri. I've seen you with Greg Nickel's kid. Your freaky family has adopted her. Where is she?" He asked again.

"Canada." I answered casually.

Saki reached over and slapped me hard in the face, leaving a big red mark there.

"Wrong answer. I know she's in New York City. I guess until you confess, I'll leave you in here for the boys." He said. He walked out of the cell, leaving me there.

"She's all yours." Saki muttered to some ninjas.

I was still too weak to fight, so I acquired more injuries, and I don't want to admit this...but...I was raped...about a dozen times...


Leonardo:

"Sheri's in there?" I asked, gulping.

"Well, she's in the basement, it looks like." Don said, examining the tracker.

"I say bring 'em on." Raph said unsheathing his sais.

"Raph, we're 14 year old turtles. We can't take on that many ninjas. Especially when we are not at our Ninjitsu peak." I protested. (A/N: Yes, I typed fourteen on purpose, becuz the turtles are getting older at their own pace. Just to let you know.)

"Whatever." Raph said, stuffing his sais back in his belt.

"So, do we sneak attack, or what?" Mike asked.

"Hmm..." Don thought. "If we get a hold of those uniforms...we can just walk in and nobody would notice." Don said.

"Yeah...that's great. But how are we gonna get a uniform?" Mike asked.

"See those four ninjas that are all alone?" Don asked.

"Yeah, so?" Mike asked.

"We'll sneak up on them, knock them unconscious and steal their uniforms." I finished.

"Now we're talkin' my lang." Raph said a smirk on his face.

"Come on." He said. We all jumped silently into the bushes and rustled the leaves. The ninjas came over near and we beat the crap out of them and stole their uniforms.

As we came out of the bushes, my head began hurting. So did my brothers' heads.

We all groaned...

"Where the shell are we?" Mikey asked.

"And why are we in 'these' outfits?" Raph asked.

Don looked down at his tracker.

"Hey, what's this?"

"I think it's your tracker." I said.

"I know that, but who are we tracking?" Don asked.

We looked at each other. Trying to figure it out...

"Sheri!" We said as a group.

"She's in the basement." Don said.

"So we put these on to sneak into Foot HQ." Raph said.

"But, how did we get here?" Mikey asked.

"I don't know and I don't care. We need to find Sheri. If she's in this building, we know she's definitely in trouble." I said.

"Come on." I waved them on and we made our way into Foot HQ.

Don was to my left, Raph was right behind me, and Mike was behind Don.

"Guys, look for exits in case of a fast escape." I muttered to the rest.

"I still want to know how we got here." Mike whispered.

"We would all like to know, Mikey. I know I would, but we don't have time to ask. Let's just find Sheri and get the shell out of here." Don whispered.

"Where to now?" I muttered.

"Those stairs, I think." He muttered back. We went down the stairs into a dark room with a single light bulb in the center of the room. I could make out jail bars in the room. I heard laughing, whimpering, and noises of kicking.

We looked at each other and then headed toward the noises.

Seeing the sight I did, made me want to kill all those ninjas who were tormenting her.

"Hold her down." One said.

It took three ninjas to hold down Sheri who was tugging on the shackles and trying to squirm free.

"That's better." He said.

He leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

She drew her head back, but the guy leaned forward, keeping their lips together.

Don stepped up to them.

"Hey, it's our turn to be with the 'prisoner.'" Don said in a slightly deeper voice. That he disguised.

The ninja parted from her lips and looked up at Don.

"Hey, give me one more minute. She ain't a virgin now so she ain't worth nothin' there, but she can still make-out pretty nicely." He said, going back for a kiss.

Not a virgin? Not a virgin!

What was worse is that the ninjas that were holding her had stopped and now he was leaning in for a kiss and she wasn't even trying to resist.

Don grabbed him by the back of the collar and turned him around to face him.

"Move. She is ours for the next couple of hours. You've had your turn." He said, his voice serious.

Don was usually a quiet one that didn't threaten. That was usually Raph's department, and Mike and Raph seemed as shocked as I was.

"Fine, geez. She ain't nothin' special. Just let me know when you're all done." He said. He and his group left.

"So, what are you four gonna do?" She asked, her voice was harsh and cold.

"Dude, it's us." Mike said taking off the head mask.

The rest of us followed his actions.

"You're all 15 again." She muttered with a slight smile.

"Why wouldn't we be?" Mike asked, but Sheri seemed only half conscious.

"Let's ask her questions later." I said.

I cut the shackles with my katana and she started falling, luckily, Raph caught her before she hit the floor.

I just noticed her left arm had blood coming from it, so did her knees and shin.

"Don, maybe you should check her over. Those cuts look nasty." I said.

Don looked over her main injuries, her arm, shin, and the back of her knees.

He sighed. Not usually a good sign.

"Those, monsters." He muttered.

"What's wrong?" Raph asked.

"Her knees and her shin are older wounds. They shouldn't be opened, they should be scabs. But, the Foot has reopened the wounds many times. It'll probably be infected." He said.

"What about her arm?" Mikey asked.

Her arm was bleeding even more persistently.

"I think they've cut an artery. If we don't get her home soon, she'll die of blood loss." Don finished.

"What can we do for her now?" I asked.

"We need to get her a blanket or something and we need to wrap her arm." Don said.

"Let's take these off." I said. We all took off the Foot clothes and then put a coat on Sheri.

I took off my mask and gave it to Don to wrap around her arm.

After Don was finished, we began walking to the stairs, keeping in the shadows. Raph carried Sheri.

"Leo, do you think that guy was serious when he said, that she wasn't a virgin?" Mikey asked me.

"No idea. I'm sure we'll hear everything later though." I said. Her body was all scratched and her hair was a mess. Her eyes were sunken in like a skeleton. She hadn't slept in days, apparently.

Now we just need to find an exit...or make one...

"Did anyone see a way out from the main room?" I asked.

Mikey opened his mouth.

"Besides the front door." I added.

He shut his mouth. Apparently trying to be a smart ass.

"Let's go." I motioned, running along the wall into the main room. My brothers followed, Raph being a bit slower because of what he was carrying.

"Okay, on my signal, Raph, you go through the door and jump into the bushes on the right side of the door," I commanded.

"Okay." He muttered.

"One...Two..."

"Three." said an Elite Guard to my left. I look down seeing Mikey's foot is out in the light. Everybody else notices too.

"Sorry..." He muttered.

We all jump out from the shadows, weapons drawn. Well, all except Raph, who just stands there in an awkward way.

The regular Foot ninjas have gone for some reason and it's just us, and the Elite Guard.

Raph sets Sheri down, behind a plant in the shadows. He takes out his sais, a smirk on his face.

"Well, I see you haven't gotten rid of your look, eh?" Raph smarts off at the ninjas.

The EliteGuard charges at us and now it's time to fight...

As much as I don't want to, I have to, and I do.
