Chapter 3: Still Lily's POV

Okaaaayyyyy, where were we? Oh, yeah! Lily followed Raph into the sewers. Yeah...

"We live in cities,

you'll never see on a screen.

Not very pretty,

but we sure know how to run things.

Livin in ruins

of the palace within my dreams,

and you know,

we're on each other's team.

I'm kinda over gettin told to throw my hands up in the air...

So there."

Lorde- TEAM

"Raph!" I cried. "Wait!"

Clutching Mr. Fudge, I looked around this new place. I saw Raph standing at the edge of a sewer pipe.

"Be careful!" I called trotting over to him.

He was looking over at the other side.

"C'mon," He said. "Let's go over there!"

He pointed over to a piece of junk buildup in the middle of a round area. It was surrounded by a moat of sewer water.

He jumped in. He almost sunk to the bottom.

"Whoa! It's deeper that I thought!" He exclaimed.

I gulped. "Can I ride on your shell?" I asked. "Mr. Fudge doesn't want to get wet."

He looked back at me and rolled his eyes.

"Riiight, Mr. Fudge doesn't want to get wet." He sighed.

He swam back and I jumped on his shell. I could barely see anything, it was too dimly lit.

The only light was the blue glow from the moon.

We were half way there, before a GIANT crocodile jumped out of the water.

It had pale white skin and red glowing eyes. It roared.

"I think it wants us to get out!" I cried jumping off and swimming back. Raph did the same, but he was faster because he was a turtle. I swam as fast as I could. He reached the edge while I was still prying my way through the water.

"Lily! Grab my hand!" He called. He stuck out his hand for me to grab. I turned around quickly as saw the monster dove into the water and was speeding towards me!

I tried to swim faster. His hand was so close. I reached out to grab it, but I felt something pull me under quickly.

"Lily!" I heard him cry.

I clawed my way up as fast as I could, but it pulled me back down again.

I saw it coming towards me and I braced for impact.

It barreled for me and when it hit, all the wind was knocked out of me. I saw inky blackness cloud my vision, before everything went dark.

...

I moaned. Slowly, I opened my eyes. I felt my chest go tight from fear.

"Where am I?" I thought. I inched forward a bit, but my face pressed against a glass wall. I tried to stick my hand out the other way. The glass was all around me.

Suddenly, I felt something tingling in my toes. It rose to my hips. I gasped and started to struggle.

The glass dome was filling up with water.

"Help!" I yelled. I saw 4 silhouettes move in the shadows.

"Help me, please!" I cried out.

They stepped out into the light.

"Why should we help you?" Donnie spat.

"Yeah, why should we?" Leo agreed.

"B- Because, y-you guys are m-my brothers..." I choked out.

Raph laughed evily.

"No we're not! Master Spinter found you in the streets. You were never apart of this family."

Even Mikey, my 4 year old little brother, had a smug look on his face.

I went to open my mouth to say something, but it filled up with water. I coughed and sputtered. It only made it worse.

My eyes, covered with tears, watched my brother's expressions as the world went black again.

...

"Raph, you almost killed her!" I heard Leo shout.

Quickly, I sat up coughing and spitting.

I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder.

I heard Donnie sigh.

"She's okay." He said. Slowly, I opened my eyes.

I looked at my brothers and backed up a bit. Donnie kneeled next to me, Raph looked at me within a far distance. Leo was next to Donnie and Mikey, his eyes slightly puffy and red, ran up to me crying and throwing his arms around me. Shocked, I burst into tears as well.

I felt more arms wrap around me as I sobbed.

I wiped my tears as they let go.

"You okay?" Mikey asked. I nodded quickly.

I looked around for Raph, but he had disappeared. I stood up, my knees wobbly.

"Here, let's take her to her room." Donnie suggested. They helped me to my room and tucked me in. They closed the door slightly as they left. Once they did, I got up and went to Raph's room.

I opened the door and saw him feeding Spike. I smiled weakly. He looked at me and looked away. Shakily, I walked into the bedroom.

I sat at the edge of his bed.

"Are you alright?" I asked politely.

"That's the question you should be asking yourself." He mumbled.

"It wasn't your fault..." I said softly.

He turned to face me, tears in his eyes.

"Yes! Yes, it was! You almost died because of me! If Donnie and Leo hadn't come, you would be dead!" He shouted angrily.

I blinked in surprise.

"Sorry," He muttered wiping his eyes.

I kneeled next to him.

"Can I play with Spike too?" I asked.

He looked at me confused. He nodded slowly. A he gave me a small smile.

"Sure."

I gave him my best smile and pet Spike on the head.

"He really likes you, ya know." I said. "Just because you forgot to feed him, or play with him, doesn't make you a bad owner, and he won't love you any less."

He stared at me for a while and grinned.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

*SQUEE!* cuteness! Next chappie will be on Donnie and Lily.
