Thank you guys for the support for Blind Sight, I really did have a good time with it. It really had me beat in some places, but in the end I knew where I wanted to go, so I just kept pushing forward until I got there. In the end the story was exactly what I had hoped it would be, and I'm glad to see that a lot of you are interested in seeing this storyline continue. As I said I'm not very far into the next story yet but I've decided to give you a little sneak peek for the next story, not something I normally do but I've really appreciated the support I've gotten for for this series and I'm excited about this next story as well. Thank you again for those of you who've taken the time to review - again if I can't respond to your reviews through PM I'll reply to them here. Also just so no one tries to kill me anytime soon... I've had some upset readers about Paul's fate... he isn't as gone as Karai thinks he is. Don't worry I haven't killed him off. He's still out there and he'll be back. :D
Jade4563 - Yes, there is another story coming up. I have at least two more stories planned for this series, so I'll be working on it for a little while. I'm so glad that you are enjoying them though. I've had a lot of fun writing them, it really makes it worth while knowing that readers enjoy it as much as I do. Thank you for your support and for the review.
Louise - You aren't the only one who hopes Leo will get his eyesight, I've gotten several PM's asking about it and my answer is always the same. He won't be getting it back. I know it isn't nice but life isn't always perfect and we just have to go on the best we can. But I'm thrilled you are enjoying these stories and that you are already excited about the next one. I really do appreciate your reviews, they are very complimentary and flattering. It really makes all the work and time I put into these stories worth while when I have a reader let me know how much they enjoy it. So thank you for your support and for your reviews.
"Donny, what is dat thing?" Raphael demanded glaring down at the arena where his brother was facing off the massive creature. His hand gripped the handles of his sai automatically even though he knew he was helpless in aiding his brother.
Donatello crouched down on the ground next to Raphael's legs, one hand cupping his chin, the other resting on his bent knee. "If I didn't know better I'd say it was a Pooka."
"A what?" Raphael asked glaring down at the back of Donatello's head.
"A Pooka. It's a shape shifter of sorts... but this is definitely alien." Donatello couldn't hide his obvious interest in such a thing.
Raphael snorted, disgusted. "Well da day one of us can't take down some horse is da day I hang up my sais for good."
Just then the jet black horse facing off with their brother in the arena below exploded into flames, though it didn't seem to be consuming the horse at all. Instead the flames seemed to be part of the horse. The mane and tail were both blazing with an orange glow, the creature tossed its big black head up into the air and let out a sound that was neither human nor animal. It made everyone in the audience cringe as flames shot out of the creatures nostrils.
Raphael's eyes widened in alarm as the creature reared onto its hind legs, pawing at the air angrily with its front hooves moments before they began to glow with that deadly orange blaze. He couldn't see his brother anymore.
"Donny, can ya see 'im?"
Donatello too was struggling to see past the blazing orange flames for any sight of his brother. He waited, holding his breath as the creature finally fell back to all fours, the bright flames dying down a little. The black horse shook its mane, twitched its tail and turned away. It took a few steps towards the corner of the arena and tossed its black head into the air once again, only this time it snorted in a self satisfied kind of way.
As the smoke in the arena began to clear away Raphael spotted his brother again and his eyes went wide with horror.
"Donny! Mikey ain't movin'!"
