"New Turtle On The Block"

Angus un hugged Rachael and than walked over to the window and looked out it and the rain was still pouring down outside. And they skies they seemed to being growing darker Angus sighed. The weather had predicted a Thunderstorm that after noon he was depressed because he kinda wanted to go home. To his apartment that he didn't have to pay rent for because it was Angel's father. It was his father but no one knew his seceret no one knew that Angus was really Angel.

And no one is going to know until he lets them know. He knows he can't tell Rachael who he really is and he can't let Rachael see what he really is he dosen't like hiding from her because of what he is. She wouldn't understand she wouldn't accept him for being a giant turtle that could walk and talk. But he was the same inside wasn't that all that counts. Your outward appearance that shouldn't mean shit. Because its whats on the inside that really counts.

But thats not how the world saw it and what he was. He was a freak of nature made by coincednce and fate. Fates a funny word it usually never happens for the good and always the worse. Angus keeps his hands stuffed in his jeans pockets and inside of his pockets you can hear jingling sound he is playing with his keys inside of his pocket.

Rachael is standing acrossed the room from Angus and she is shaking her head at him. She walks out into the kitchen and walks over to her fridge and opens the door and pulls out a bottle of White Lemon. Its a knock-off Sprite. She than walks over to the table and she sits down and twists the cap off of the soda and sets it beside of the soda she tips the bottle up so the rim of it touches her lips and than she starts drinking the refreshing drink. Well thats what the ad says.

Angus watched the rain pour down outside through the small window in the door. He watched two kids both in yellow rain coats skip down the street happily and a huge truck speed by them and splashed them and both of the kids giggled happily as they got splashed with a large amount of water. Kids are funny that way always wanting to be wet and always wanting to have fun. Angus was like that once when he was a little turtle and a little stupid boy when he was human.

"What ya doin' ova there?" Rachael asked as she looked over at Angus

"Nothing." Angus said as he walked away from the door and out to the kitchen and walked over to the table and sat down acrossed from Rachael and put his hands on the table politely and smiled at Rachael.

"What?" Rachael asked witih a smile cute and sexy smile.

"Oh nothing. Your just so cute, Rachael. Whats a cute girl like you doing in the big bad city here?" Angus asked politely

"Well, I was born here. My father owns the pizza shop I work in, I kinda inherited it when my father died and my mother moved away with my little brother Samus, hes 13 know and I love him more than anything. Well, I started working at the Pizza place when I was 16 I meet alot of interesting people there. But to make a long story short. I like it there and I'm still there." Rachael said calmly as she set her hands on the table and folded them neatly.

"Would you like some?" Rachael asked as she pushed her soda acrossed the table to Angus.

"Sure!" Angus said as he catched the soda and took a sip off of it and than slide it back acrossed the table to Rachael.

"Anything else I should know?" Angus asked

"Nope, except you can sleep on the couch tonight. Because I don't think this bitch of a strom is going to lighten up, Angus. Its already 7 at Night. So you better stay,boy!" Rachael said and smiled at him.

"Only on the couch? Why not with you?" Angus asked

"Oh, Angus we just meet. Aren't you being a little forward?" Rachael asked and laughed softly

" No, I'm not being forward." Angus said and smiled.

"Oh?" Rachael said

" I was being honest." Angus said smiled again.

"Oh, I see. Well I'm going to bed you silly,boy." Rachael said as she got up out of her chair and pushed it into the table and walked into her room and stripped down to her bra and panties and coverd her up and shut her light off. Angus walked into Rachael's door way and Rachael lifted her head to see Angus's silouette.

"What?" Rachael asked as she pulled her covers tighter.

" I forgot to do something." Angus said as he walked over to rachael's bed-side and kissed her on the forhead.

"'Night, my friend." Angus said with a smile and walked out.

"Good Night." Rachael said in a soft voice as Angus went out to the living room and crashed on Rachael's Couch.

Angus twisted and turned in his sleep like normal people usually do. It wasn't violent but while Angus was in dream land. Pictures in his head, that he didn't really want to see they started to pop up again. Images of his past and the death and destruction of the life he used to have. The life that he loved so much, that night he watched it crumble around him. He watched his life get destroyed. Angus, helpless of what had happened to him and his family.


Angus never really knew what pain was. He could always shrug it off and cancel it out. He was filled with love then, and he still is know. But that love from his other life it can't continue to corpse through his veins. Angus turns in his sleep again. The image they are still coming strongly. A Dream, thats all it was and nothing more. It wasn't real for the most part. But it was real in the past it was just memories coming back to him. They came back so violently.

He was only 16 when all this shit started to happen. In his dream he was only a 12 year old boy. He was caged like an animal. His small hands gripped the steel cage and he started to rattle it violently. As off in the distance there was a silouette of a man. He was tall and thin, but powerfull. He was sitting in the darkness behind of a desk and you could see a grin on his face. It was a faint grin.

As The man's feet are propped up on the brownish desk and there was a lit cigratte in his mouth. The end of it, the butt rested camly in The Man's teeth. His eyes they seemed to glow red. You could sense an evilness within this man. An unmistakable evilness.

The room was surrounded with armed guards. This man was probably a Drug Dealer or A Militia Leader whatever he was. His role was simple enough he was evil so evil.

"Angel do you know why I brought you here?" The man asked

"Because your an asshole?" Angel snapped back

"Very fiesty, just like your father. He must be so proud of you, how you've turned out as of late. You've been getting yourself into fights and you got your nose into some place where it didn't belong. " The Man said.

The man, he came into focus he was wearing all black, he had ice blue eyes, and a black hat on, one of those black cowboy hats you'd see in thos westerns. And the cigratte turned out to be a huge stoogie.

"I'm nothing like my father, I'm worse, he actually cares about people and I don't. I could carless who lives or who fuckin' dies!" Angel snapped. Angel, had an darkness about himself at this age, he was a longer he had no friends he found friends in other things drinking and drugs thats probably why he was here today. Angel's eyes fixed on the mans eyes that was acrossed the room from him.

"Well I heard you came into possession of some of my merchindaise, and when my boys went to get it back from you, it didn't go over well, you faught them to the death, and well they came back pretty bruised. You don't know me but I am Angus Dorfman, you goto school with my son, Angel." Angus smiled as he puffed off his stoogie.

"What do you want with me, Dorfman?" Angel asked as he stopped struggling with the bars.

"I want you to sell my product!" Dorfman said

"Fuck you!" Angel snapped back...

Ring, ring, ring it was Rachael's alarm clock and Rachael sat up and stretched and yawned and hopped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom at the same-time. Angus jumped up out of his couch bed.

"Jeez, it was a dream!" Angus said holding his head.

" I hate those!" Angus said silently to himself.

Rachael was inside of the bathroom you could hear the shower running. Rachael stepped out of her night clothes and walked over to the tub. Her pale and naked body was showing a good thing her door was closed. The door to the bathroom and to her room if Angus was anything like Angel he'd wanna catch a peek at her nakedness. Rachael enters the shower. The warm water it hit her skin, she turned to her right and she picked up a bar of green soap and pressed it to her body, she pressed it to her chest and moved it acrossed that area to have it all sudsed up.

Rachael than moved the bar up and down on her right hand until it got all suddy she had a white face clothe in her left hand which she was washing her face with it. She washed the front of her body nicely the shower hit the front of her and washed the suds of soap away from her body. She had fair skin, it was nice and clean she had faint breaks in her skin mostly from bruises and cuts that she had obtained from over the years. She was never beaten by her father or anyone else she loved. Well maybe, once. But Angel stopped that.

Rachael closed her eyes and dunked her head under the shower head and it got her hair all wet. She had a bottle of V-05 in her right hand she squirted a bit of it into her left hand, the palm of her hand and she rubbed both of her hands together to make it suddy and than she placed it into her air and she made her hair all soapy as she rubbed the soap into her scalp. She rubbed it in very good.

She than dunked her head under the shower sprinkler and it rinsed her hair clean you could see the dirt in the drain the dirt that had came off of her body. On the outside of the shower there was a silver railing that she kept her clothes and towel on. Rachael turned and pulled open the shower cutains and stepped out onto the green towel.

She was dripping wet from head to toe. She grabbed her white towel and wrapped it around her body, and than she opened the bathroom door which lead to her own bed room and her door was locked so no body could get in while she got dressed and her curtain was closed so no evil peepin' toms would see her naked body.

She had clothes layed out on her bed that was coverd with white sheets she had a pair of white panties and a black bra ans she had her uniform which conisited of a blue pair of pants and a dark blue shirt with her company's logo on it. Rachael dropped her towel and it hit around her ankles and she sat on the edge of her bed and pulled on her white panties and she pulled them up around her waist.

She than placed her bra around herself. The black cushins supported her meduim sized breasts. She straps the two straps behind of her and it snaped shut and than she put her shirt on and pulled it over her head and than she took her pants and than pulled them on and put on her stockins and she unlocked the door and turned the golden door knob and than as the door opened a creek she pushed it open with the tap of her right shoulder and she walked through the door and walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table and pulled on her shoes that was sitting near the wall.

Angus was sitting on the edge of the couch looking distract he looked over at Rachael he had saw her. Angus had sighedd, he runs his hands all over his face as he sweated. It wasn't a nervous kind of sweat it was a cold sweat from the dream he hed been having.

These dreams had happened before they had happened alot after his parents died and after Angel died. After his former self had passed away he never did feel the same, know he had felt like an outcast. But when he was human he didn't really feel like an outcast.

Angus than got up off of the edge of the couch and walked out into the kitchen and walked over to the white fridge and looked inside of it and than pulled out a soda one for him and one for the sweet Rachael who was nice enough to let him stay in her home even thou to her he was a complete stranger. But he felt that they have grown to like each other. Like they had grown to become friends again apart of him inside of him wanted to tell her who he was. But another part inside of him knew he couldn't tell her who he was. Well atleast not yet, but time would of told who he was to her.

Angus started walking towards Rachael with the sodas as Rachael was tieing her fancy shoes she looked up at Angus and she twisted a smile into her pink pale lips and she looked up at him.

"Good morning, Angus" Rachael said in a pleasant voice.

"Good morning to you too." Angus said as he sat down.

"Thristy?" Angus asked as he lifted a bottle of soda to her.

"I'm always thirsty." Rachael said and she smiled happily.

Angus than smiled as he slid down a soda to her it was some lemon soda that she had liked as a child. Of course Angus knew what it was. Because they had been friends along time ago.

"Thank you." Rachael said

"Your welcome." Angus said as he opened his soda and took a small sip off of it and than set it infront of him.

"What ya got a board-metting?" Angus asked as he looked up and down at Rachael in her threads

"Well yeah, kinda." Rachael said still smiling as she sipped off of her soda and than she drank the rest of it.

"Well, I gotta get going." Rachael said. "Wanna walk me to the store?"

"You walk the dangerous streets of new york?" Angus asked. "You must be crazy, but yeah, I'll walk you."

"Yay!" Rachael said in an almost preppy happy screech.

Angus smiled and noded his head as he got up and took his soda with him he finished it down as they reached the door. Angus exited first and Rachael second and she locked

her place up. Didn't want evil people breaking in and stealing priceless possesions.

Angus and Rachael they walked down the side of the side walk they only had to walk a half a mile. Because the pizzeria was basically just a hop and a jump down the road but she didn't wanna feel alone walking to work. She had enjoyed Angus's company but she didn't wanna admit to it. They made it to the pizzeria. Rachael she entered it and than looked through the glass door and smiled at Angus and mouthed the words ' Good-bye' to him and Angus smiled as he watched Rachael disappear into the back of the pizzeria.

"God, she wants Angel not me. I can't ever be the man I was back then." Angus said to himself as he walked away, he had started patroling the streets of New York City, nothing really happened in the day time. Except the go around with the Turtles and Shredder he wasn't on the turtles side. He was on his own side and no one elses. Angus walked by a dark alley and he could hear faint yelling and it sounded like the person was in pain.

Angus peered around the corner and hiding behind a big dumpster he bumped his head against it and you could hear a small thud the pigeions on the top of it they flied away and the lid slammed closed.

"Stop hurting me!" The person said it sounded like a female voice.

"But your not caught up on your payments Janine, I have to take it out of your ass!" The man said with a smile as he took out a leather belt and smacked it acrossed the girls back and the girl looked like she was about 16 or 17. Her hands we're bound and a man was steping on her head with a leather boot and the other man was whipping her badly you could see her back all cut up and bleeding, very badly.

So were her arms and her legs. Angus's fist they cletched in rage, so much Rage corpsing through his body. He looked down at his silver, yet sharp sai's hanging on the edge of his belt with the letter 'A' engraved in his belt. He was given life to protect the weak and he wasn't gonna give up his new life. Angus slipped un noticed into a side of one of the walls it was really dark as The man reached for the belt again and with the flip of his wrist it came down to the girls skin.

Angus couldn't stand it anymore he stood in the aisle of the dark alley way. Angus picked up a Sai from his belt and with the flick of his wrist the sai hit the man's belt and flinged it out of his hand and it hit the back of a wall.

"Thats not nice!" Angus said in a low town looking at the two people hurting this girl, they we're Drug Dealers, they wanted there money. The slim one was Chris and The bigger one was David.

"What do you think your doing? This dosen't concern you!" Chris barked at Angus.

" I think it does." Angus said

"Just walk away." Chris barked at Angus.

"Let the girl go and I will." Angus said

"Well, I can't do that.. She owes payments." Chris said.

"On what?" Angus asked

"Her Heroin, as I Said it don't concern you ,and my buddy could take you apart." Chris siad and than Angus walked a little closer and by this time Angus had shed his trenchcoat and you could clearly see he was a Mutant Turtle. Angus walked into the light to show his green skin.

"Your one of those freaks aren't ya? The ones always giving us trouble, your gonna pay for all the buisness you had taken from us!" Chris said as he noded at David who had know let up from the girl and the girl in so much pain rolled away into the darkness some where.

Chris charged at Angus and Angus let out his leg and than trips him and than he picks up Chris and than he throws him up against the brick wall and a pair of trashcans and you could hear a small crash and than David took out a small chain from his pocket and he walked up behind of Angus and jumped on his back with the chain around Angus's Throat.

Angus took the chain around his throat and he used his back and threw him up against the wall and he crashed into the trashcans and than he picks both of them up and smashes both of them up against the wall. And he puts both of his sais up against each of there throats.

"You tell your boss... If I see anymore of your assholes in MY CITY! I will keep on kicking there ass." Angus said looking into both of there eyes.

"Sir, may I ask who you are?" Chris asked.

"Tell him, death comes for him tonight.." Angus said " Tell him, Angel Duvanna sends his regard." Angus said with a smile

"Angel Duvanna? We kicked your ass before, we took your family, and we'll kick your ass again!" Chris said as Angus walked out of the the alley way the girl had escaped and Angus looks back at Chris and David/

"Is that gasoline I Smell?" Angus asked

"No, man!" Chris said as Angus tosses a lighter into the alley way and it blows up and Chris escapes. But David didn't.
