A/N: This is the first story that I post and I hope you guys like it... I hope to get a lot of reviews! Have fun!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters related to TMNT and I don't own TMNT itself! I DO own my imagination =) (one of the characters (Mini,, the 'I' person =P) and the story.)


I sat on the bench and listened to a big rat's story. It was about their creation, about the beginning. I nodded.

"So you see, we don't like intruders," he ended and stared at me intensively.

For a moment I was captured in his stare, he seemed to stare right through me. Then I realized this big rat was wize, he was a wize old rat. He probably knew much answers and he'd probably heard much questions.

I broke the stare with a nod. "I can keep a secret."

He nodded satisfied. "Good, my sons will bring you home when you are ready."

I nodded again. "Thank you, sir." I looked at the turtles. After I'd eaten, I'd felt kinda stupid hiding. They weren't scary or angry. Leonardo'd told me the redbanded turtle (named Raphael) was always hot-tempered. They fought oftenly, but he was sure he wouldn't fight me. Even better, he was sure none of them would attack me. That had been a real relief for me. I watched the old rat leaving to, what I expected, his room.

"You ready?", Leo asked me. I nodded in reply. "Then I'll take you home."

"That would be great," I answered shyly. I wasn't born shy, just being in a room with giant 'ninja' turtles, like Michelangelo (the orange banded turtle) had told me, was really beginning to work on my nerves. And I hadn't forgive myself I hid from them while they just wanted to help.

"Come on," Leo said and offered me his hand. I took it.

"Bye kid!", Michelangelo yelled why he was jumping on the bench.

"Bye," Donatello said smiling while he waved. Donatello was the fourth turtle. He wore a purple band around his head and he used a staff to fight. Leo'd told me Donatello had been the one that had overlooked my wounds when they'd brought me in.

"Heey," April said, when she laid a hand on my shoulder, "You could come by my store one time if you like, we could go and see the boys..."

"If you aren't afraid of us anymore," someone growled. I turned around and saw Raphael the hot-head standing, leaning against a pillar. I hid a little behind Leo. He noticed that. "Apparently you still are."

"I'm not afraid of them, I'm afraid of you," I answered from behind Leo. I knew it was true, Raphael was the one that had scared me in the first place.

"You're just a little kid, you're probably scared of the dark too," he shot back. He grinned a little.

I was surprised, but a bit insulted too. I didn't accepted that. "Heey! Take that back!"

His grin widend. "Why would I?"

"Raph," Leo sighed, "Leave her alone."

"Why? I wanna hear what she had to say," he shot at Leonardo. Then he looked at me again. "Say it kid."

"You made me being scared of your brothers while they just wanted to help! You're just a... just a...."

He narrowed his eyes. "Say it...."

I stood next to Leonardo and narrowed my eyes too while I felt anger flow through my body. Then I grinned. "Never mind, I'm not going to lower myself to your level..."

He growled.

"I'm going to take you home, now!" Leo said while he glanced angrily from Raph to me.

I turned around to April again. "I would love to come by one time! I see you then I guess."

"Yeah, yeah, that's okay," she said, nodding. I saw her eyes flashing to Raphael behind me. "You have my number, call me."

"I'll do that," I smiled.

Then Leo took me to a wall. Suddenly the wall shoved aside and revealed the sewers. We stepped throught the doorway and I heard the wall behind us closing again.

"Promise me," Leo began while we were walking, "Promise me you will never talk to Raph like that again."

"Why?", I asked innocently.

He looked at me sideways and then forwards again. "Because I did a promise to you and I can't keep that promise if you keep talking to him like that."

"What do you mean?", I asked him, not understanding. Then I thought of his promise again, the one that no one would attack me. "You mean he will attack me?"

"Yes," he answered. I could hear the seriousness in his voice.

I swallowed. But I will not let him walk over me, I thought, I'm 16, I'm no child anymore. We turned around another corner and I decided to let this subject rest. There was a posibility I would never see them again. So I switched subjects. "Leo?"

"Hmm?"

"Why are we walking this far before we go up?"

"We don't want anyone to find our lair."

I stopped walking. "So you still don't trust me?"

He stopped to, sighing, and turned around. "Heey, it's nothing personal, really! But like my master would say, trust comes with time... We are giant, talking turtles, we can't efford letting our guards down one second... You understand?"

I nodded slowly. "Yes, I think I do... But you still don't trust me..."

He shook his head. "No, I'm sorry..."

I looked away. Great, I thought. "Well, let's move on," I said a bit cross.

"Okay," Leo said doubtful, but he turned around anyway and we moved on.

We continued in silence. You could only hear the dripping and murmur of water in the sewers and now and then the splashing of our feet. After a while we'd reach a ladder to the surface.

"We take this one up," Leo informed. I just nodded. "I'll go first." I nodded again. I was still a bit edgy about the fact they didn't trust me. I understood life would be difficult for them, but didn't they understand I'd too a hard time trusting them? Hearing they didn't trust me, made me suspicious too. So we were back at out beginning point.

The way up seemed to take forever. I didn't thought our sewers were so deep. When I asked Leonardo about it, he replied there were three layers of sewers. The highest part, the middle part and the lower part; we were in the middle part.

Finally, we were there. Leo lifted the lid of the manhole carefully and after he was sure it was clear, he lifted it fully and jumped out of the manhole. I folowed, not with a jump, but with clumsy crawling. Leonardo putted the lid back and merged with the shadows.

I saw we were in an alley. I crept carefully to the end of the ally and tried, just as Leo, to merge with the shadows. It worked quite well, because nobody noticed me, but on the other hand, people were always busy.

I searched down the street if I saw something familiar, but I didn't saw anything that could tell me where I was. So I walked back into the alley.

"And? Anything you reconize?", Leo's voice came from nowhere. I supposed he hid somewhere for his own savety.

I shook my head. "No, nothing."

"I'll bring you back to where we've found you, you'll reconize it there."

"Probably."

"Good. Can you climb up that fire escape?"

I looked through the alley and saw what he meant. "Yeah, I think so..."

"I'll see you on the roof then."

I heard something move and saw a shadow disappearing over the wall and on the roof. I sighed. I took a trashcan so I could reach the ladder. When I'd grabbed the ladder tightly I felt the trashcan wobble underneath my feet and it fell over. I fastly climbed the ladder and hid underneath a window before I continued. I heard someone close by opening the window and yell things. Then he closed the window again and I let out a sigh of relief.

When I'd reached the top I saw Leonardo leaning against a chimney. He was partly in the shadows, but I could see why he and Raphael were brothers. The same style of standing, the same face when they weren't pleased.

"You made a lot of noise," he said cooley.

"Leo, I'm no ninja," I told him, just as cool as him.

"Let us continue, get on my back."

After a small discusion, I refused to get on his back, I sat on his shell anyway. We jumped over the roofs at highspeed and I asked myself why I didn't wear any belt. But Leonardo seemed to know what he was doing and I felt his muscles relax between the jumps.

Suddenly, he didn't jump over the gap, but right into the gap. I was so scared that I forgot to scream and after we landed, I was glad I'd forgotten it. I knew Leo wouldn't be pleased if I'd screamed.

"Here we are," Leo said. I heard that I'd been right; Leo'd cooled down a bit.

I looked around and I fell my heart beat faster. I fell my eyes grewing bigger.

"Kid? What's wrong?"

"Are you sure you've found me here?", I asked him sharply.

"Y... yeah, 100%," he stuttered.

I shook my head. "Can't be. This is not the alley I was in."

"It has to be, we found you here!", Leo said, now convinced. He dived into the shadows when a car drove by, then he appeared again, three metres away from me in the middle of the alley. "We found you right here."

I shook my head again. That couldn't be, I was sure I stood against the wall when the bright light had appeared. I could still feel the brick wall on my hand.

I walked up to the wall and let my hand wander over it. It weren't bricks, it was concrete. "Are you playing trics on me Leo?". I faced him.

"N... no," he said. "I would never...". He was lost for words. "You sure..."

"Yes, I'm sure this isn't the alley. I can remember a brick wall, this is concrete." I looked him in the eyes. I could see he was scared and I saw he searched for answers.

"Maybe... maybe I'm... wrong," he said.

I now could see lies, he was sure this was the place, but he wanted to make me feel better. Maybe I didn't know him long, but I had always been good at reading a person's feelings.

"No, you're sure of yourself and I'm sure too." I turned away from him again and let my hand wander again. Suddenly, I remembered the coulors, turning and twisting. I sat down against the wall and pulled my cellphone out. I saw Leo moving nervously. "Easy, I just have to check something."

I dialed my mother's number again. And before it even rang, I heard the woman's voice again, saying the number wasn't in use. "Leo? Do you have a cellphone?"

Leo handed me his cellphone and I tried again. And again the voice. I tried calling my dad with both cellphones, I tried calling my home, my friends, over and over again. But everytime I heard the woman's voice telling me the numbers were out of use. I shook my head.

"What's up?", Leo asked. He sat down beside me.

"I... I don't know," I said, trying to get my emotions under control. I had an idea, but I never imagined the posibility existed.

"Have you tried to reach your parents?"

I nodded.

"And your friends?"

I nodded again. "All the numbers are out of use."

"But that's... impossible."

"Yeah, unless...", I hestitated.

"Unless... what?", Leo asked.

"Unless I did something... something I always saw like a story, fiction... I didn't even think of it as a possibility...", I mumbled. I looked to my feet and stayed silent. I knew Leonardo waited for more, but I couldn't get it out of my mouth.

It was weird when I thought of it. I was here in a city that was apparently strange to me, I sat in an normal alley with a big, talking turtle and I wasn't afraid. I thought it was strange that I didn't think of it before. I chuckled. My mom would be happy, now I finally had to believe one of her story's.

Leo broke. "What? What are you talking about?"

"I think... I think I'm in another Dimension."
