Thank you guys that have reviewed this fic ^.^v. I'm glad so... here's another chappie XD
The turtle's eyes widened. Quickly going for his sais again holding both in each hand.
"Who are you" he asked now on the defensive. As Raphael looked at the girl he saw that she look like any other average teenager. Even in all the darkness Raphael could see how she looked thanks to all the training Master Splinter had given him throughout his years. She had light brown hair, some covering the left part of her face, had dark colored eyes or eye since she only showed one. Her skin color was that of cinnamon. She wore a simple black shirt with some kind of white symbol on it, black pants and shoes.
"I told you my name's Cree" she said simply. "I think what you mean is who do I work for" she continued as if he'd asked. "Which I… cannot tell you"
This was not an answer Raphael did not like. The angered turtle was about to say something but the girl beat him to it. "It doesn't matter who I am right now. What matters is your brother Michelangelo" she paused. For a mere second Raphael thought he saw her face saddened but quickly changed back to seriousness. "For unfortunate reasons… I was the one to cause the illness your brother has right now" she confessed him.
At this Raphael's eyes widened once more now furious as he learned who was to blame for Mikey's weird illness. Cree saw this and quickly tried to calm him down "Look I knew you come here tonight. Here" The girl reached into her pocket and pulled out a vile with an opaque green substance.
"Give this to him it'll cure him"
'Don't give it to him! It'll make it worse!'
The turtle's eyes slightly widened at the voice inside of his head. It spoke at the same time as the girl did verbally. The voice sounded like hers… but was it?
Cree had her hand stretched towards him with vile in hand. "What?" he asked. As not to give herself away Cree remained with her serious face. "Look if you take it'll make your brother feel better"
'Take it but DO NOT give it to him! Throw it away if you must'
There it was again. The voice in his head. Now Raphael knew something was up.
"You said you were ta cause of mah brother's illness. What makes you think I can trust you with this 'cure'" Raphael asked using sarcasm on the last word.
The girl sighed showing her impatiens "fine if you don't want your brother to be cured I guess I'll leave then" she said turning away from him and putting the vile back in her pocket.
"Who ever said that I didn't?"
Cree was about to turn when she felt something hit her on the back of her head. As everything went black the last thought that ran threw her head was 'Oh crud'
As the girl began to fall Raphael stepped forward to catch her. 'Hmmm… I guess dis little stroll did help in somethin' He thought as he made his way back to the lair. What Raphael had not been aware of was that foot ninja were watching everything and reported what had happened to the Shredder.
"Excellent. Now that the freak has taken her we can use the tracking device and discover their hideout. Return to headquarters that is all." The Shredder ordered. Quickly the foot ninjas disappeared from the spots returning to said place.
...
Three hours later Cree finally began to regain consciousness. Looking around she noticed she wasn't in a place she recognized. That's when she remember what had happened before she went unconscious. Sitting up she began to slid of a bed. In that moment the door opened to show one of the terrapins with a check board at hand. Looking up from it Donatello saw that his "patient" has awoken and was already standing, leaning slightly on the bed.
Cree had not noticed the body that was almost next to her on another bed as all her attention was on the terrapin in front of her. "I see you're awake" Donatello said breaking the silence. "Yes and I see you aren't not the turtle whose butt I want to kick repeatedly" Cree said. Donatello was surprised that the girl had recognized that he wasn't one of his brothers. Even April at times mistook them for one another. Although that was when they didn't have their bandannas on. "Where is he?" she asked moving closer to where Donatello was standing.
"Why do you want to know?" Donatello asked in turn.
"Because I told your brother specific instructions in which in turn he ignored and brought me here." She answered him. Donatello was about to respond but Cree didn't let him speak as she maneuvered around him and got out of the room.
Not knowing where to look Cree just searched every room she could find. As she neared a door she heard muffled voices coming from a place that looked like a kitchen. Arriving Cree saw Raphael and Leonardo discussing about her. Cree didn't really care for what they were saying because the first thing she did was walk the short distance from both turtles, held back a fist and let it fly to Raphael's face.
Both terrapins had been too distracted to see the girl in question walk up to one of them and slam a fist on the red masked turtles face. Leo immediately unsheathed his twin Katanas and took a battle stance. Though nothing had ever prepared him for what happened next.
"ARE YOU FREAKING DEAF OR PLAIN STUPID!?" Cree shouted. Raph stood quickly and went for the girl's throat. Raphael's hands were merely inches from her throat as Cree grabbed his wrist twisting it on to his back and pushing him to the floor at her mercy. "Seriously! I told you to grab the bottle and throw it away as you left not knock me out and take me to your home. What kind of idiot would do that!? Did you even consider I could have a tracking device on me!?"
Leonardo could not believe his eyes and ears. The girl had single-handedly defeated his brother with one hand...
She was a stranger most likely an enemy and she was lecturing his brother about what he had done. The multiple errors he may have committed. The blue masked terrapin had not noticed his mouth was hanging wide open and had wide eyes because of what he was witnessing.
As Cree finished lecturing Raphael she let go of his hand and looked up to the oldest brother. "Close yer mouth before bugs crawl into it" she said to him. Noticing Leo quickly shut his mouth and sheathed his Katanas. Raph stood up and glared at the girl. Cree did the same. Leonardo went to stand between them before another fight erupted. "Can one of you explain to me what the shell just happened?" He asked.
"That's simple. I kicked his shell with one hand" Cree said.
"As if, you had a lucky shot. That's all" Raphael said. Cree chuckled and looked at him "you wish it had been luck. Sadly for you I'm one of the best in the foot" She said with a cocky grin. At the mention of the foot clan both turtles took battle stances. "That reminds me Raphael told me that you were the cause of our brother's illness what did you do to him." Leonardo asked in a serious tone. 'Well I can tell you it's no illness. Not really anyway" Cree said crossing her arm on her chest. "It's a potion that I was forced to make and give to him. That potion would leave him nauseous for the first couple of days, dizzy and spaced. I had to take a small portion of his blood so the potion could work-" Cree was going to keep explaining but got interrupted by an angry Raphael "small portion!? When he got here he barely had any left!" he said almost shout at the girl. Cree let her arms fall at her sides and looked away from the brothers. "That was Michelangelo's "punishments" when he would not do what he was told to do. First they would drug him and drag him out of the cell he was kept in. They would cut deep wounds on his arms and legs so he would bleed enough for when the drug wore off he still wouldn't be able to move much. Then they would 'call' me to repair his wounds."
Cree was about to continue but Leonardo interrupted with a question of his own. "What do you mean? Mikey didn't have any cuts or scars that would prove what you say."
"The type of healing I use Is not exactly of human standards" She said. Leonardo and Raphael had confusion on their faces. She approached the red clad turtle, extended her arm and said "Take your Sai and cut my arm." Raphael could not believe what he was hearing. First she had lectured on what he did wrong and now she wanted him to cut her arm? Was this girl insane!?
"I'll have you know that I am not insane. i will demonstrate what I meant by no human standards" Cree said to both. She waited for Raphael to do what she had asked. The latter had taken his Sai out from his belt and motion his hand to make a small cut on the girl's forearm. "Okay. Watch this" she said as she lifted her other hand on top the cut. Both turtles quickly saw that a small glow was emitting from her hand. In seconds Cree took her hand away so they could see that her cut was no more.
"If it's not too late I could still save yer brother from what Shredder had planned for him" She said. Now the terrapins looked skeptical. Her offer seemed too good to be true. "How can we trust that you will do what you say and not worsen or brother's condition?" Leonardo spoke up after a few seconds. "I cannot assure trust Leonardo. I owe Michelangelo my sanity. It is the least I can do for him." Cree said truthfully.
He's presence there truly was to thank for. Even though she was "part" of the foot clan they all treated her like they would treat any other prisoner. Miraculously she fed well per Lord Shredders orders. Though she knew that was only because he needed her 'magic abilities' and nothing more. At the first years she had been captured she had refused to serve the Shredder. Sadly that had changed the day he had some doctors sedate her in her sleep and told them to surgically put some device near her heart. Once she had been told what had been done to her, she had tried to remove it from her system by using her magic. Turns out that the Shredder had somehow made it possible for the machine to electrocute her every time she used magic. Though as years past Cree had met a girl her age named Celestia. She also had 'magic abilities'. Both had become friends and learn a great deal about each other.
The day they had brought Michelangelo she had seen the young terrapin bruised and battered. It wasn't news to her that there humanoid turtles in New York City. She had heard conversations from some of the foot clan after they'd come from another failed mission on eradicating them. That was also the day when Shredder had approached and told her to make two potions one that could make the clad in the orange mask forgets certain things about his life. The second one was for replacing those memories. To make Michelangelo one of their own. In a way she didn't let that happen, every time she could Cree would sneaked her way into Michelangelo's holding cell. At first he didn't trust her but who could blame him right? When she finally gained his trust Cree told him of Shredders evil plan, she also gave him some paper and pen and told him to write things about his like, dreams, his family and that he should tuck it away in safe keeping.
"Hellooooooo! Earth tah girl!" Raph sudden voice knocked Cree out of the trance she had been. "Huh? What?"
"Don't 'what' me. Aren't yah gonna to fix our brother?" Raphael said. Cree's eyes slightly widened. "Oh! Yeah sure. Ummm….. where is he?"
Onward to the next one! :D
