Chapter three-Bitten by the wolf & Kindness of another!
The werewolf carried the bleeding, mutilated body as she finally arrived to the abandoned industrial area. Before the she-wolf went down into the den; she climbed up into a brick opening in the wall where the wolf may eat her fleshy meal in peace then leave the remains before retiring as the moon is beginning to fade.
Tearing the limbs away from the body and gorged herself into the bloody flesh. Throwing out the fleshless bones but still covered in blood to the ground outside as she continued to gluttonously devour into the remainder of the corpse.
Meanwhile not far behind where four terrapins followed a blood trail to the abandoned industrial area. Tracking the trail and prepared to defend themselves against whatever this thing could be as it must not be normal.
"It looks like the trail ends here." Don said; unsure and lost track of the trail as he and his brother came to the fence standing around the abandoned area with a sign stating half covered in dirt. Leo wiped over the sign to see what it stated.
"TRESPASSERS WILL PROSCUTED. KEEP OUT!"
"This place has been abandoned for a long time, despite what the sign says. Must go in and find out what this...this thing must be just a crazed punk or something else." Raph grumbled anxiously
Leo raised his brow and thought that this is not normal about raph wanting to know something before giving the enemy a swift kick in the butt to the next week. Also felt concerned about his brother's behaviour.
"Split up and when found whatever this thing is, send out the signal. Are we clear?" Leo concurringly asked
Mikey and Don nodded then immediately replied as raph ignored his brother's order. "Got it, bro."
"Good; did you hear me raph? RAPH!" Leo scolded, raising his voice alittle.
Raph faced the blue clad terrapin and slightly glared and answered. "What?"
"Are we clear?" Leo harshly asked again, glaring the red clad terrapin as he raised a brow.
"Yeh yeh. I hear ya, clear as crystal." Raph annoyingly replied
"Heh." Leo grunted and led his brothers over the fence and quickly pointed two fingers to his eyes and circled his hand to give the order to split up and search the perimeter.
Raph already ran ahead, along with Don and mikey took to the other direction of east and west. Leo took that last direction toward to the warehouses. Meanwhile inside the building near by the river and the entrance of her sewer den. The wolf's ear twitched when she heard tapping among walls but was uncertain if may be that someone could be near by or just alittle paranoid as she might be hearing only tapings of water dropping onto the broken pipes, laying on the ground. Taking her last bite out of her meaty meal and left the remainder of the body about so she could escape undetected before been discovered that is trying to track her down or do away the invaders then return to the sewer den for the night as the moon is beginning to fade. Sniffing for the scent of the invaders before making her escape.
Assuming to smell nothing and leaped out of the wall hole and made her way to the river. Raph ran towards near to the river but never intended to see the beast hiding near by inside of crumbling building.
'What luck.' He thought to himself, grinning as he grabbed his cell phone to signal the others then he thought again that may be he could take the monster on his own. Blindly following the beast unknowing that he may encounter the fight for his life, one that he may never change when he discovers the fate he will be facing.
While the others searched around the other parts of the abandoned area when realised that they may be going in circles trying to track down whatever their red clad brother saw. Unaware they were left in the dark as he followed the beast and while they continued to search for it.
The wolf ran swiftly into the sewer piping opening, stood up and howled to the moon before running down the sewer tunnel then she smelt the scent. The scent of the invader. She lowly growled and hissed before running down the tunnel and awaited the invader to draw close then do them away before settling down for the night.
Raph used his ninjitsu skills as he followed the beast into the sewer tunnel and was astonished that this animal lived down in the sewer but wondered where exactly as he feared that it may live not far from their own lair. He waited for the animal to go inside then leaped down to the sewer piping tunnel then continued on. Standing in the tunnel opening, staying vigilant as much as possible since thinking is something not one of his strong holds when comes to kicking some butt especially one is that seems to little odd.
Back in the industrial area; Leo, Mikey and Don searched the area until they met in the centre of the path leading to the river.
"Well, anything?" Leo asked lowly grunting
"Na-na, dude." Mikey replied, shrugging
"I've searched everywhere but nothing." Don answered, taking a couple breathers
Mikey looked around then wondered where raph could be. "Where's raph?"
Don and Leo gazed eachother for a second then also wondered themselves. Leo opened his cell phone to see if raph sent a signal. As he opened the phone it showed nothing.
"Damn." Leo hissed
"Call him, Leo." Don suggested
Leo called raph's phone and no answer. Raph heard his phone ring but he made sure he turned it off as he was on the trail. Leo angrily squeezed the phone in his hand as he silently grunted. Don remained silent and did what he does best; tracking. A few seconds later, don finally tracked raph's phone and pointed down to the river.
Running towards to the river when a foul smell lingered and over powered their senses but it hit hard mikey first as he was the first to arrive close to the hidden corpse.
"Whew, that reeks." Mikey whined, muffled as he held his nose
"I wonder what it could be? I hope it is only dead animal or something." Don assumingly said
"Let's check it out and stay close." Leo told his brothers also holding his nose
Walking toward to the hidden rotting corpse as the stench became alittle over bearing for their senses. Using their bandana tails to cover their noses and try to avoid inhaling the smell. The three terrapins continued walking to where the body laid hidden in the wall hole. As they got closer, Mikey stepped on something. The orange clad terrapin lifted his foot up and looked what he stepped upon.
"Aaaagghhh! GROSS, GROSS, YUK. FERAL!" Mikey screamed and freaked out as he jumped around and tried to shake off the excess blood off his foot.
"Alright, alright mikey. Just calm down, look it is gone." Don told his baby brother in assuring manner and showed that his foot had no such blood.
"Whew. That's good." Mikey happily answered, grinning when he noticed his elder brother glared down him. "What?"
Leo closed his eyes and shook his head as he rubbed his temples, thinking that this was silly especially when his baby brother carrying on like dramatic prep-up princess even though normally it wouldn't faze him. Don knelt down and examined what mikey had stepped upon then realised it was a bone, immediately throwing down to the ground and shaking his hand in disgust and felt unclean then heard flies buzzing over the carcass inside the wall hole. Leo looked inside and saw the torn up, half eaten carcass. Both Mikey and Don looked over Leo's shoulders also saw the carcass.
"I think I'm gonna hurl." Mikey muffled as he covered his mouth then turned around and began to hurl.
"Gross, poor guy whoever that was." Don said, also felt little sick inside but he was able to stomach what he had seen, better than mikey could. Leo stared the corpse in silence, wondering what kind of monster could have done this and why. Walking away from the open grave, removed his bandana tail that covered his nose and inhaled fresh air when he noticed the foot prints leading to the river.
"Mikey, Don." Leo called out softly
Don turned to his right and mikey looked up, panting after hurling his guts out. Wiping away the excess vomit with his bandana tail. Both terrapins walked to their brother and stood beside him then saw the bloody footprints.
Don also noticed a familiar foot print that belonged to Raphael. The purple clad terrapin knelt down and touched the print to see if it was soft or hard.
"What is it, Donnie?" Leo asked curiously
"This is raph's foot print and it seems to only a few minutes old. I think he ran down after whatever this is that done this." Don replied, explaining the foot tracks as he knelt down before standing up.
"Raph?" Leo apprehensively answered
Don remained silent and nodded. Mikey spat to the ground as he could still taste his own vomit on the rim of his mouth. "Please tell me, that we are just going home and not follow the tracks. Right?" mikey whined, half grinning and hoped to be going home.
Leo glared the distance toward the river. "No, we have to get Raph and stop whatever this thing is before it continues with it carnage bloodshed. Must be stopped now." Leo hissed, leading the way to the river. Don followed without hesitation and saying a word. Mikey stood, pouting as he allowed his arms to dangle with a huff. "I knew you'd say that." Mikey sadly whined, then followed behind both his brothers to the river.
Meanwhile raph was following the wolf inside the sewer tunnel also hid along the way to find the monster's den. It was getting annoying and frustrating that he couldn't track the wolf without the sounds of water giving away his every move.
Raph hid in the shadows, silent as the wolf came walking back; lowly growling and snarling as it knew that it was been followed. Watching the beast sniff around as it walked past the hidden terrapin; the beast was getting drowsing and turned around then resumed the journey back to the den. Raph stepped out of the shadow and waited til the beast was far enough to unable hear his watery stepping as he resumed the stalking.
Also raph saw in the sewer water that there was blood running in it. Raph grunted in disgust and felt sickened to the sight of the running blood that flowed around his feet. Grabbing his Sais and tighten his grip upon them as he stalked the beast.
Following behind raph were his brothers unknowing that they were as much as prey to the beast. Just like the beast is something they must do away in order of justice to stopped the killings and protect the innocent.
The she-wolf was slowly walking to her hidden den but also planned to kill the invader that happens to be stalking behind her. Allowing the blood drip down off her fur into the water as she walked and leaving a trail behind, hoping the invader will follow while she climbed up above and waited to attack.
Outside the sewer piping tunnel, Leo and his brothers saw the blood running in the water. Without saying a word, Leo leaped into the tunnel and led the way; following the blood running in the water along with his brothers running inside after him. Running down the tunnel as fast they can to find the beast and Raphael before something terrible happens.
As they ran, Leo feared the blood running in the water must be that red clad brother could be either injured or couldn't come to terms with if he was killed. All different thoughts running in his mind, hoping and praying Raphael is safe and alive. The blue clad terrapin couldn't live with himself knowing that something happened to his brother.
Raph followed the beast as he tried to stay hidden among in the shadows so he can discover where the beast sleeps. He stopped a few metres back and hid inside another sewer burrow to avoid his presence discovered as the wolf stopped and began sniffing the surroundings. Peeking around the tunnel rim as he could see where the beast may continue to walk towards but noticed that the animal is retracing her steps and walked back as she sniffed around.
Walking near the sewer burrow where the red clad terrapin hid within, concentrating his breathing and silence so he would not be discovered as he glared the beast standing outside his temporary hiding place. The large black furred wolf stopped and stood outside the burrow and sniffed for the invader then slowly leaned inside the burrow; Raphael remained calm as much he could and still while the wolf lowly snarled, reaching with her clawed paws to feel whoever or whatever could be hiding in the shadows even though she can see perfectly well but manipulated her prey's judgement and gave a clouded sentiment to trick him to believe that she could not see them as she pulled herself out and continued on her way; pretending to be moving in the direction as seen but she swiftly leaped up to the sewer ceiling where the pipes dwelled and hid herself. Instead of being the hunted she resumed her position as the hunter as Raphael is now the prey.
Blindly raph waited and assumingly that the beast had continued walking back where they had entered. Crawling to the burrow opening and peeked out; to see if he is now safe to climb out. Assuming that he is safe, the red clad terrapin climbed out and wiped away the excess cobwebs hanging on his shoulders and walked further down the tunnel along with the wolf stalking him from above.
Prepared and ready to defend as he tighten his grip around the sais as he came close to the wolf's hidden den up ahead of him. Covering his nose as the smell was alittle overpowering; the den was covered with bloody rages that hanged over the den entrance. Raph followed the smell and found the wolf's den, using his sai to lift up the bloody rag and look inside. Not knowing that he just become the beast's next victim as he could feel the hot smelly and blood breath upon his neck.
Turning to face the large black beast and prepared to defend also try to kill it before the wolf kills him. Raph whispered one word as the wolf clenched her teeth and snarled before she roared. "Oh shit."
ROAR!
The sounds of the roar broke the silence in the sewer tunnel and echoed down towards to the others as they were stumped; unsure where to go and find their missing sibling.
"What was that?" Mikey cried, trembling
"This way guys." Leo answered, running to where the sounds of the roar echoed.
Both Mikey and Don followed the blue clad terrapin in hope to find their brother alive. As he is now fighting for his life against the beast. The three terrapins finally arrived and found that Raphael was fighting the large creature and astonished to what it could be, disbelieving this is something that only seen in a horror movie.
"Donnie, what the hell is that?" Leo roared, holding his twin katanas midair
"Ah, it looks like a giant wolf." Don replied, confused
"Are we gonna think what it is or are we gonna to save raph?" Mikey asked, fearing for raph.
Leo fearfully glared the orange clad terrapin then answered softly. "We are going to save raph."
"Well...WHAT YOU WAITING FOR? YAH" Raph roared, held down underneath the wolf's clutches almost drowning in the sewer water.
The three terrapins ran to attack and rescue their brother before he becomes a meal for the beast. Don leaped in the air and kicked the wolf in the chest, making her to stumble alittle and lost her grip upon the red clad terrapin she had pinned in the water.
Raph coughed as he gasped for air after been held in the water nearly drowning. Don aided his brother while both mikey and Leo attacked as one against the beast. Leo's counter attacked went in vain as he missed and been punched in his torso, making him fly across the tunnel and landed on his shell. Don also failed when he tried to attack and was punched down to the ground but mikey leaped upon the wolf from behind and tried to hit its head as hard he could with his nunchucks.
As mikey swung his nunchucks, the beast reached up and grabbed the terrapin. Pulling him down in front of her and held him tightly in her clutches then rammed him in to the wall as she gruntingly growled.
Mikey trying to breathe as he was overpowered by the blood stench upon the wolf's breath and also tried to free himself from the beast's clawed grip. Raph looked up and feared for his baby brother that is now held in the tight grasp and about to be devoured. The adreline running through his veins made stand and he leaped above the wolf while he held one sai ready to be driven into the wolf's flesh, hoping to be the weapon will kill it for good and save his brothers.
Raph roared as he leaped up and attacked but the wolf was ready; turning to face the red clad terrapin while she continued to hold the other terrapin against the wall until raph got closer for her attack.
As raph closed in for his attack which he was just not fast enough; the wolf threw mikey into the darkness behind her and instead throwing a closed fist; she held her clawed paw open and swung until her sharp wolf talons met his flesh covering his shoulder and upper part of his chest.
Raph roared and cried in agonising pain as he was clawed and held down then bitten; only feeling the teeth driven through his other shoulder before having a little of his flesh bitten clean off as the wolf lifted its head up and roared. Glaring her tasty meal and wanted more; she went to take another bite but this time, raph's torso. Not when a sharp metal object was driven through her upper chest to her right shoulder.
The wolf roared in agony as she stood up, reaching for the metal sharp object and flinging it into the wall then running off into the darkness. Raph gazed disoriented as he saw Leo standing over him, as he fainted from the shock.
In the lair
Raph woke up and found himself in the infirmary. Turning to his left, raph saw Leo asleep in the chair next to him. Well as he assumed the blue clad terrapin to be in deep slumber as he tried to push himself up from the bed when Leo instantly stood up and stopped him as he was disturbed from his sleep, realising his brother was trying to sit up. "Easy Raph. You'd wouldn't want to injure yourself anymore than you are already enduring?" Leo assuringly told him, trying to not hurt the red clad terrapin as he grasped his uninjured shoulder.
"Grr...Ugh, what happen?" raph groggily wondered
"You were bitten and clawed badly by...by..." Leo stammered confused
"By what, Leo?" raph hissed
"A large wolf." Leo answered
"I knew it. I told you it was a giant wolf, Leo! Ow." Raph hissed and whinced from the throbbing pain.
"I believe you, raph but right now you need rest. Donnie will be back later and check your wounds. But for the time being; go back to sleep, will ya?" Leo told raph, giving him a soft smile as he re-sat himself in the chair beside his brother.
Raph lowly grumbled as he laid back down and stared the ceiling. Thinking about the animal that had almost and could had killed him. But that didn't stop him wanting revenge and return the favour. The agonising pain made the red clad terrapin lowly whinced as he tried to keep his whinced moans at bay and silent then exhaustion finally washed over his eyes; making him close them and fell asleep.
Meanwhile up topside...
The moon was fading and the werewolf began to transform into her human form as she bled. In astonish pain, exhausted and weak from losing blood. Not realising how quickly she had ran then arrived to the alley nearby where the antique shop stood.
Howled for the last time during the last moment of the fading full moon then fell to the ground and knocked over a trash can, giving her presence away. Allowing someone unexpected to find the bleeding naked young woman laying on the alley floor.
"Who's there?" April asked as she was startled from the sounds that echoed round the corner.
Grabbing a steel pipe that she found on the ground near the dumpster. Ready to defend herself against whoever is hiding in the shadows as she heard slight moaning. "Hello? Whoever you are, better get out of here right now." April warningly bellowed
When she finally walked around the corner, holding the pipe above her shoulder ready to swing when she saw in astonish gaze. Lowering the pipe, then dropping it to the ground as she unhesitatingly ran to the strange young woman's side. Taking her own jacket off, kneeling down and covered the naked state of her body as she helped the young woman up to her feet.
"It's ok. I'll help you. Everything will ok." April whispery assured her, holding the woman's arm over her shoulders as April tried her best to carry the injured woman inside and yelled out for help from her lover that waited upstairs.
