THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! I'm becoming much more busy with school and everything some I'm going to shoot for one chapter every other day.
: Chapter 11:
"Run!" April and I turned around and sprinted the other way as fast as we could but the men quickly caught up and forced us to run into an alley way. Now we were trapped and alone without any hopes of a passer byer to see us and maybe calling the police. We ran as far back as we could and slammed into the brick wall. We pounded on it with our fists to see if there was some way out but there was nothing but wall here.
"Were trapped!" I screamed
April pulled out her shell cell and dialed a number "I'll try and get ahold of Leo!" Her fingers were shaking as she pressed the call button
"Look out!" I screamed to her and at that moment a thug grabbed the phone from her hand and threw it and her against the wall.
"April!" I tried to run to her aid but one of the guys grabbed me by the back of my shirt and suspended me in the air. Wow I certainly remember this situation not too long ago but the only difference was… Don wasn't here to save me. "Let me go!" I thrashed violently with my feet to try and hit one of them but I had no such luck. I could see April passed out on the concrete. Now I was alone and I was so scared. What were they ganna do to me!?
"Look at this boys" the thug threw me on the ground and used his foot to keep me down while all his thuggie friends made a circle around me.
"Is this what low life criminals do in their free time? Pick on the innocent?" I taunted. The thug growled and pressed down on me harder which made an unexplainable squeal explode from my mouth.
"Where's your little turtle friend now Austria?" He chuckled
"Are you stalking me? How do you know my name?!"
"It's simple really. The purple dragons don't just let some child walk in and disturb one of our "Daily Pickups" so the boss ran a little background check on yah" all the guys around me started laughing and pounding their fists together. "Turns out your father used to work for us" He smiled
I almost peed myself when I burst out in laughter "No shocker there!" I said
"He betrayed the Purple Dragons! And guess whose ganna pay for it?" He grinned and pushed down harder on my chest.
I gulped and felt the endless beams of sweat drip down my face. My father always seems to be involved whenever I'm about to face my death. First he shot me now I'm making up for his mistake. Typical American family I guess.
Suddenly, something jumped down from somewhere and landed behind the dude with his gigantic foot on my chest. I looked around at the men and it was like none of them had noticed it. They just continued to stare down on me like a pack of hungry wolves. Then I looked up on the roof and long and behold, there, grinning at me, was Raphael. I smiled so hard my cheeks felt sore.
"Don't I get a phone call?" I asked the Dragon with the best smirk I could execute
"A what?" he scratched the top of his head
"You're supposed to give all your prisoners one free phone call before you kill them or else their soul comes back and haunts you for eternity" I said as I heard a chuckle come from somewhere on top of the roof
"Umm…." He hesitated "I suppose…" He looked around at his boys for approval but they all looked just as confused.
"Hey!" one of the Dragons yelled. "That chick is gone!"
"What!" the thug lifted his foot off me and walked over to the spot where April had been laying.
"Leo!" I whispered but he held one finger to his lips. "Get me outta here!"
"Shh" He leaped up onto the roof next to Raphael.
"Hey guys…" I slowly got up off the ground and faced them "About that phone call…" I said with a grin. Suddenly one out of five thugs dropped to the ground out of nowhere. If you looked hard enough you could see a shadow sprinting behind them.
"On your guard!" a dragon yelled. They all pulled out weapons and went back to back. "Show yourselves freaks!" he yelled again
"Well if you insist" A voice from the shadows murmured and at that moment another thug dropped unconscious. Now the main dragon guy thrashed his steel pipe violently into the darkness. "Show…your…self!" He yelled
"Antsy little dragon aren't yah?" said another voice whose origin couldn't be pinpointed. I watched as a long staff shot out from the behind them and clocked two dragons square on the head, making them fall to the ground. Now only the two thugs who had recognized me earlier were left and that's when all four of the turtles came out from hiding and dropped into a circle around them. Intimidation level: Chuck Norris
"Guys! Boy am I glad to see you" I said
"FREAKS!" One of the dragons yelled
"Well you're not a bucket of beauty yourself dragon boy" Michelangelo teased
"Ya think its ok to pick on one of us?" Raph grinned and spun his Sais on his fingers. The two thugs lunged either way with their weapons but the guys jumped into the air and out of the way.
"Pathetic… and here I thought we would actually get some action" Raph taunted
"Come here and I'll show yah action!" A thug screamed to the red clad turtle perched on the fire escape
I couldn't help but smile up at him. This was so entertaining it was sad.
"Austria look out!" Leo yelled but before my body could react, a dragon scooped me up in his arms and took off out the alley
"AH! Help!" I slammed my fists against his back even long after they began to throb with pain.
"I'm ganna hit you're left so hard your ganna beg for a right!" I screamed. I squiggled and threw my arms around to try and break free but every time I moved he sunk his fingers deeper into my skin. I thrashed back and forth until finally the side of my hand hit the back of his neck making both of us drop to the ground and of course he landed unconscious on top of me.
"Ah shit, time to lay off the burgers pal!" I pushed on his neck with my hands to try and get out from underneath him but I was stuck. "Help! Somebody!" Soon I had one leg free but the other was still being difficult.
"Need some help?" I heard a familiar gentle voice from behind me.
"Donnie?" I asked, unable to see him
"Who?" The voice said
Just great, there was only one other person I remember who had a voice similar to Donatello's.
"Hunter…" I shrugged. He laughed and grabbed me from under my shoulders and tried to pull me out
"Stop Stop!" I screamed
"What!?"
Unfortunately the leg that was still stuck under this mammoth was the one that had been shot. I know it healed quickly but I still felt the pain from it when Hunter tried to pull me out
"My leg…it hurts" I probably sounded like a sissy
"Well what do you want me to do? I can't lift that guy off yah" He sat down next to me so I could see him. He still had that hood covering his face which was starting to get on my nerves.
"So your just ganna sit there…" I asked a little too soon because he started to push back onto the body to try and lift it. "Look you're not ganna…" Within a few seconds, the thug was rolled over onto his back and my leg was free. "Thanks…" He helped me up off the ground
"No problem" He smiled
"But you could have been here maybe ten minutes ago when a whole group of them were attacking me" I grinned
At the spur of whatever this was, guess who decided to come awake and grab my ankle.
"Ah! Give it a rest already man!" I screamed as he jumped up and dangled me in the air
"You're coming with me! And this time I'll make sure your knocked out first" the Thug raised his fist to my face and pulled back. I had a feeling this wasn't ganna feel to good so I shut my eyes and covered my face with my hands.
"He jackass" He stopped and turned around to the voice coming behind him "Put her down will yah?"
"Oh yeah? And what are you ganna do about it shrimpy?" The dragon threatened
"Shrimpy? Is that the best you got?" Hunter, who probably had zero combat skills, took a kick from the Dragon right in the chest sending him flying across the road. My hero.
A familiar voice emerged from somewhere behind us and landed on top of the dragons head, knocking him out once again.
"Donnie!" My face lightened as he helped me up off the ground
"You just can't stay out of trouble can you?" He smiled and picked me up
"Wait…can you make sure Hunter is ok?" I pointed across the street but when my eyes met where I was pointing, there was nothing there. Don looked at the road then at me
"You feeling ok?" He put his hand to my forehead
"Yeah I'm fine but I swear…"
"Austria!" Suddenly Hunter emerged from the shadows and smacked Don right in the plastron with a pipe. I felt so bad because I landed on top of him then rolled onto the sidewalk.
"Hunter!" I flipped him the middle finger as I got up off the ground "Stop he's a friend!"
The purple clad turtle was already up and had his Bo staff in ready position. I could hear the growls coming from both of them as they slowly circled each other
"Austria run!" Hunter yelled as he swung the pipe at Don who ever so nonchalantly, stepped out of the way and whacked him right in the back with his staff.
"Stop!" I ran up to them and pushed Donatello back before he could hit Hunter again "Relax, no one's hurting anyone here"
"Tell him if he tries to get up that will change" Don poked Hunter in the back as he tried to get up, making him fall again.
The rest of the guys, and April, came running down the sidewalk just in time for Hunter to get back on his feet. Leo ran ahead of the group and positioned himself in front of Don and I.
"What the…" Hunter shook his head and leaned in close to Leo who frowned and looked at him "Halloween already?" he laughed
I heard Raph growl form the back of the group and couldn't help laugh myself. "Guys relax please! Hunter…this is just a dream…you are not seeing four mutant turtles" I said
"NINJA turtles helloooo" Mikey said
"Well your obviously not ninjas cause your letting yourselves be seen!" I snapped back
"Was this guy bothering you?" Leo asked with his swords at the ready
"NO! Oh my God" I slapped my hand over my face
"Good" Leo smirked and out of the blue punched poor Hunter right in the head, knocking him unconscious.
"LEO!" I tried to reach them but Don had my arms
"Was that necessary?" April asked
"Yes" Raph murmured
"He already saw us, we best make sure he doesn't remember anything either" Leo picked Hunter up and laid him against the building behind us.
"Come on lets go before he wakes up"
: In the lair:
"I thought I'd never see this place again" I said as I let my leg be examined by Master Splinter with Don standing close by.
"Well if yah stayed out of trouble you wouldn't have" Raph said with a grin
April was sitting in the living room with Leonardo. They looked heavy in conversation and I hoped she wasn't telling him that I was too much to handle…
"Your leg looks fractured and your wound has come open again" Splinter said
"But I thought it healed?" I looked at Don but he looked just as confused
"All wounds can become broken again" Splinter said. I had a feeling he was talking about more than just my leg.
"Austria…" Leo was standing on the other side of me with his hand on my back "Tell me what happened"
I told him everything. I told him April and I had gone out shopping, I even told him about the girls in the one store we went to and Hunter. I said we were out shopping all day and we hadn't taken into consideration how dark it was when we decided to head downtown. "The thugs showed up out of nowhere and led us into an alley. After they got April, they told me their boss had information on my father and wanted me eliminated" I said
Mikey shrieked and gave me a hug from behind "I'll save you" He whispered
"Thaaats ok mikey" I tried to shake him off
"Why would someone want you dead for summthin you're no good father did?" Raph asked while spinning one of his Sai's.
"I'm not sure Raph. I guess I forgot to ask him while he was trying to kill me!" I screamed
"Remember when I called you?" Leo asked April who was slowly walking over to join us
"Yes?" She responded
"Don had picked up some recent heightened activity with the Purple Dragons and I was calling to warn you not to stay out too late" He put an arm around her and squeezed her shoulder. When I looked at Don to see his reaction he was totally ignoring them and looking at me. I smiled at him and he smiled back. Then my heart exploded and I had to look away before I melted right there and then.
"Well then we know our mission" Raph was spinning both his Sai's now. "Find the goons who want our Aus dead…" He shot them both into a sand bag all the way across the room "And take em out"
