Chapter two-following the blood trail
Unaware Raphael's brothers were on their way to the surface; wanting to investigate the mysterious murders.
Leaping over the rooftops after the large shadowy creature that seems to faster than he is but not as stealth wise as the red clad terrapin. The large black werewolf leaped the rooftops, carrying its prey upon her shoulders not realising that the body was leaving a blood trail behind but luckily that no one will put the missing link of the puzzle together where the blood is going or disappearing to. Except Raphael, since he is chasing the wolf and following her back to where she is going.
As the wolf landed on the rooftop before leaping down and ran through the shadows of the alleys so she could undetectively run to through the abandoned industrial area where the sub-piping hid over the river. The wolf stopped for a second, sniffed the air as she heard footsteps echoed behind her. Placing the torn body on the edge of the rooftop and quickly lurked about and prepared to kill whoever may be following behind.
Raph also hid and prepared himself to defend against the over large beast. His heart beating faster than normal, trying to keep cool and remain calm as he tightens his grip onto his Sais. Leaning against the brick wall of the staircase entrance, sensing that he may at any time become the next meal.
Slowly peeking around the corner and only heard the sounds of the winds blowing about. Leaning against the wall and took a deep breathe as he closed his eyes and lowered both arms, grasping the deadly Sais. Warm slimy substances drizzled down from top of his head and over the right side of his face towards to his shoulder. Reaching for the substance and quickly glared it, wondered what it was and where it came from.
Sniffing the air that seems to reek of filthy sewerage stench with rotten fur entwined in it. Turning up slowly and stared up above him then saw the hungry beast, glaring down the red clad terrapin. Digging its sharp wolf talons deeply into the brick wall edge; each brick around the talon nails cracked. The beast glared Raphael; drooling, breathing heavily upon him with the foul stench filling his nostrils.
Raph tried to ignore the stench filling nostrils as much he could while he stood still but ready to defend if attacked. Glaring into the beast's narrowed blood red slit eyes, thinking should he wait for the creature to attack or attack it instead.
Gripping his sais tighter, ready to drive the sais into the wolf's head. Wolf climbed down and stood before Raphael then sniffed him. Lowly growling and snarling; when the wolf was just about to attack, sounds echoed from behind. The wolf's ears twitched and lifted her head to sniff the scent that distracted her, just when she was about to attack the red clad terrapin. Turning back to glare raph one last time before running off and taking the bloody body with her and leaving him unharmed.
Raph followed the beast to the edge of the rooftop and lost track of it when he was approached by his brothers. Mikey grabbed raph's shoulder behind in assuring manner when raph retaliated with uncontrolled outburst and attacked mikey; knocking him onto his shell.
"RAPH CHILL BRO...ITS ME." Mikey called out pleading
Raph realised that he was almost about to kill Mikey with his sai when both Leo and don grabbed his arms; trying their best pulled their red clad brother back.
"Mikey, I...I thought you were someone else." Raph told his orange clad brother ashamed with himself
"What is up with you, raphie?" mikey asked, sitting up and rubbing his shell
"Tonight has been little strange and you guys probably wouldn't believe me if I told ya." Raph explained, uneasy and in disbelief that he saw a werewolf lurking about the city
"How you start at the-" Leo asked when don cut him off and discovered the blood trail
"What is this?" Don wondered, kneeling down and touched the blood to examine
"Don't say what I think it is?" Mikey whined
"Yep Mikey. It is exactly what you think it is. It is blood...human blood and it is still warm." Don replied, explaining what the red substance is.
"Gross...yuk." Mikey whined in disgust
"I know where the blood came from. I even saw how it happened. We gotta go after it before any more innocent people may be butchered." Raph told his brothers
"Whoa whoa bro. Start again, what do you mean; know how it happened?" Don asked, confused but wanting to know
"I'm not sure what it was but...but I think it was a big wolf that did this?" raph explained walking to the edge of the rooftop, ready to leap down and continued to track the beast
"Say what?" Mikey said, confused and scratched his head
"Grr...mikey don't do that." Raph hissed annoyingly
"Do what?" Mikey said, teasing raph further
"Mikey!" Don snapped, glaring annoyed also
"What?" Mikey whined, pounding and folded his arms
Leo glared mikey annoyed also then mikey shut his beak up. The blue clad terrapin walked to raph's side and gently grabbed his shoulder assuring him with a soft brotherly smile. Raph gazed Leo and returned the smile and without a word, raph knew exactly what his brother thought with saying it.
Raph nodded and leaped down the rooftop along Leo leaping down after him then Don and lastly Mikey followed but not after he scratched his head and grunted before leaping down after his brothers.
Ahead of the terrapins about three blocks away; the blood trail continued to trail behind as the wolf swiftly ran through the city back to the abandoned industrial burrows in the far side of the city but not far from the terrapin's lair.
To be continued in chapter three...
I know I know this is getting little confusing. I did say that raph will find the wolf's den but not straight away. But he will when they follow the wolf back to the abandoned industrial area and separate to search for it. They will find the den but what they also will find, something little mind bundling.
I hope you will enjoy this ficcy and hope you will review.
Until next time...tootles...
