Chapter Three – A Living Nightmare

"RINNNGGGG!" went the school's bell for the end of the last class period. Jasmine collected all of her books that she received from each of her new classes. While she was doing this the principle entered the room to make an important announcement.

"Settle down…Settle down kids…as you may already know there is a new company in our city called the Worldwide Geno Project a.k.a. WGP. They have decided to give our school a free trial of their new program that they just updated. For this project you will need to send in your DNA to WGP and in return they will give you a full report on your ancestors. If you want to receive credit for this, come and get a packet from the front office. Thank you for your time, you may go now." The principle said in a monotone type manner.

Jasmine sat at her desk for a little while the other students started to file out of the classroom, shoving each other almost like they thought if they stayed any longer they might actually catch something from the school's system. After the mob of kids dispersed Jasmine walk out of the classroom and started to walk towards the front office to get one of those packets.

Once she reached the front lobby she noticed that the principle's door was cracked open a little bit just enough to hear what was going on the other side of the door. She decided to go thank the principle for providing a guide for the school's tour. But when she was about to let herself in, she heard some disturbing news coming from the other side. Without disturbing the door, she went onto her knees as quietly as she could so the people on the other side wouldn't hear her listening in. She could almost hear what they were saying but couldn't quite make out the words. All she could get out of it was "I'm….you….make it…." and other things that didn't make sense without the rest of the words in the sentence. She tried to lean in as close as she could; she even opened the door a little more to get a small view of the people that were talking. This time she didn't need to hear what they were saying in order to figure out what the situation was about. Her eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing. Standing right in front of the principle's desk was a certain person that she absolutely despised. She wanted to scream at the frightful thought of having that person back in her life but she didn't want to give her location away, so she put her hand up to her mouth and started to bite her hand. She was biting so hard that blood started to drip down her wrist and onto the floor. She wanted to turn and run away as fast as she could but something was holding her back; that something was her own curiosity on why and how did that person find out where she was hiding. Her own curiosity flowed over the fear that she was feeling and gave her the right strength to move a little closer to the door to hear what they were saying.

"Like I said earlier I'm glad that you could make it to our school and that it is a great pleasure to have you here in my presence," coming from what sounded like the principle.

"Well…you should be…I mean I am the great leader's daughter after all," the newcomer said with a little annoyance in her voice.

"Y-Yes…your right…my apologies, miss," the principle said while taking a small bow and wiped a little sweat that started to appear on his forehead.

"That's what I thought…" the mistress said while pausing to give the principle a look of disapproval while was he cleaning himself up a little bit. "So what's this letter you wanted to give to me in person?"

"W-Well…it's a letter from your boss," the principle said while handing her a small envelope that held the top secret information. "It seems that the new girl that just transferred from Northridge has started to interest your boss, so he had his personal bodyguards come out and handed me this letter so I could give it to you. They said that this was your new mission and to not mess around with this one or you will know what will happen to your father's dojo in japan."

"Tch…it seems to me that he thinks he can control me whenever and however he wants…well my father's dojo means nothing to me now…so he can do whatever he wants with that sad excuse for a training arena," the cold-hearted mistress said with absolute no emotion in her voice.

"W-Well, my lad-" the principle started to say but was rudely interrupted by the girl that was sitting across from him that slammed her fists down against the hard, wooden desk.

"WOULD YOU STOP CALLING ME THAT!" she yelled while leaning in towards the principle's face. The principle shrinks back into his chair and started to tremble at the sudden violent aura coming from the girl.

"I-I-I'm…sorry…I didn't… real-" he started to say but stop mid-sentence when he heard loud noise that came from outside the door. Jasmine realized the noise that he heard came from her. She accidently moved her feet a little too hard and knocked over the broom that was left behind from the janitor. She squealed silently and got to her feet as fast as her body would let her but unfortunately she wasn't quick enough. Just about when she was starting to run, she felt a small but strong hand grab her around the ankle and prevented her from escaping.

"Well-Well-Well…look at what we have here…a little eavesdropper…" the girl said while looking at Jasmine with pure hatred. "Oh-wait…not only an eavesdropper but my little "sister" that stabbed me in the back, literally!" she yelled into Jasmine's face.

"WHAT! I didn't stab you in the back…your inconsiderate boss did!" Jasmine talked back at the formable dressed girl. Not only was this girl rich but she had her own dojo too; she also was very excellent in close ranged combat and had a little of ninjit-su training that she learned from her boss. She was very thin and frail like she could break in half if you accidently breathed on her a little too hard, but besides her frail body she was very smart and cunning when it came around to strategy in battles. The only name that fitted this young girl was the nickname her boss gave her, "cold-hearted demon." But the name that Jasmine knew her by was Elizabeth or Lisa Misaki, her twin but younger sister. The young girl started to dig her nails into Jasmine's skin, making Jasmine cry out in pain. "W-What are you…doing here…?" Jasmine said between largely inhaled breaths.

"THAT…is none of your business…" Lisa said between gritted teeth still holding onto Jasmine's leg except this time she dug even harder taking a chunk of skin out of Jasmine's leg. "I could ask you the same thing…my darling!"

"L-Let g-gooo of m-my leg…" Jasmine screamed into Lisa's face. Jasmine started to kick and swing her legs about that eventually connected with Lisa's head and arms, giving her the escape she needed. Once Lisa loosened her grip, Jasmine stumbled to her feet and took off not caring about her injuries and not knowing if Lisa was following her trail. She ran out of the school building as fast as she could, near the steps she looked behind her back and saw that Lisa was just standing in the exact same spot when she took off running.

"You're just going to let her go!?" the principle asked Lisa with a shocked expression on his face.

"Trust me…" Lisa said with a menacing smile that went ear to ear while wiping her nails clean of Jasmine's blood, skin and a little bit of green liquid. "She's not going anywhere soon…."

At this point Jasmine didn't care about her "sister" anymore. She just turned back around and tried to run all the way home but was stopped by April and the constant shockwaves of pain whenever she slammed her right leg down onto the ground when she was running. When April was close enough to hear her, Jasmine tried to tell her what had just happened to her. But all she could say was "A-A-Apri-i-l-lll….h-he..lp…me-e…." before she fell to the ground from the pain and exhaustion. April immediately came to Jasmine's side and tries to stop the blood that was coming from the wound in her leg.

"OH MY GOSH, JASMINE! How did this happen to your leg? And who did it?" April asked Jasmine while putting all of her weight into Jasmine's leg injury. No response came from Jasmine, she was just lying there, breathing heavily with her eyes closed. "JASMINE!" April screamed still trying to stop the blood flow coming from her leg. "Come ON! Don't do this to me! JASMINE, Wake UP, Please!" April screamed again but this time it was louder and tears where starting to stream down her face. "Please…."

April didn't know what to do, she was scared and horrified by the way Jasmine wasn't responding to any of her screams. She knows that she just met Jasmine today but she felt like she's known her all of her life, even though that was impossible. All of the sudden her T-phone started to ring, startling April. She answered it with a quick "HELLO!" startling the other person who was on the other side. It was Leo, it suddenly dawned on April, she could have Leo come and help her. "LEO! I need your help right away…it's an emergency!"April cried into her phone.

Judging by the urgency in April's voice, he knew something wasn't quite right. "Okay, just stay put I'm on my way," Leo told April in a calming and soothing voice.

"O-ok…just please hurry…Jasmine's hurt…" April responded in a small, scared voice.

"Alright I'm coming as fast as I can!" Leo said while running out of the safety of his home. He hung up his T-phone and started to sprint with all of his might. But he couldn't help but wonder who this Jasmine girl was and why would April ask for his help for a human when she knew that our identity was supposed to be a secret. Unless….no it couldn't be…. Leo ran even faster knowing now that the girl he had just met two nights ago could be in danger.

Jasmine still wasn't responding to the comments that April was saying to her. The bleeding has stopped now but she has lost a lot of blood and it was all over her and April. Not only that but Jasmine's wound wasn't any normal wound, there was green ooze coming out of it almost has if someone had tried to poison her. April kept wiping the ooze away but more would just replace the stuff that she had just wiped off. "What in the world happened to you?" April asked herself while trying anything that would help her friend's injury. There was a loud "clank" that came from behind April.

"Alright…I'm her-" Leo started to say but was stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the horrible scene that was in front of him. He shook himself out of his trance and quickly came to April and Jasmine's aid. "We need to get her back to the lair so Donnie and Splinter can have a good look at her wounds," Leo said to April but she didn't hear him, she was still in shock by what just happened to her friend. "April snap out of it! This is no time to panic, okay?" he said with sincerity.

"Y-Yeah…you're right, Leo." April said while trying to clear her head. "Let's go!"

Both Leo and April carried Jasmine's body down into the sewers where they would take her to the lair and have Donnie and Splinter treat her wounds. When they had almost reached their destination, April asked Leo, "How are you gonna' explain this to master Splinter?"

"I don't know, April…I really don't know…" Leo responded in a small voice trying to figure out how all of this happened to Jasmine and why.

When they entered the lair Splinter immediately came to their aid. While Leo was talking to April on the T-phone earlier, Splinter had overheard part of the situation and immediately took action. Splinter told April and Leo to set Jasmine down gently onto the small ledge that was their couch. They did what they were told and April took a step back to give Splinter and Leo the space they needed to help treat Jasmine's wounds.

"Leo, can you go get your brother, Donatello, and also bring the first aid kit with you," Splinter told his oldest son.

"Hai, Sensei…" Leo quickly responded. He got up right away and went to go find his younger brother and the first aid kit.

While Leo was looking for his brother, Splinter looked over Jasmine's wounds. He sighed and shook his head slightly at the sight of the injuries that was inflicted onto Jasmine. "Who did this to this young girl?" Splinter asked April.

"I-I'm not sure, she came up to me and tried to explain everything but she passed out before she could tell me. U-Ummm….master Splinter will Jasmine be okay?" April responded quietly to Splinter's question. Before Splinter could respond Donnie came into the room carrying the first aid kit with him and Leo with the rest of his siblings following quickly behind him.

"Okay, what are we dealing with?" Donnie asked no in particular.

"She has two wounds, one on her hand and the other on her right leg, the one on her leg has something green oozing out of it." April answered Donnie's question with some confidence.

"…okay…let's get started…" Donnie said while getting some supplies that he needed out of the first aid kit. "First, I need Mikey to go get some hot water, Raph, can go get some clean towels, Leo, you can help me mix this antidote for the poison, April…" April just stared at Donnie while she waited for an order that she could carry out. "Y-You can…stay right beside her…in case she wakes up when we are treating her wounds." April just shook her head up and down, understanding that if Jasmine woke up while they were treating her wounds, she might freak out by the turtles appearance. She sat down right beside Jasmine's head while the turtles and Splinter worked on her injuries. Soon after they got done treating her wounds, April fell asleep from the constant worrying and exhaustion that went on during that day.

A couple of days later, Jasmine still hasn't woken up ever since that horrific event that happened to her after school. Everyday Leo would come into her room that they had cleaned up earlier and put her into so she could recover and checked up on her. But nothing has changed, absolutely nothing. The only thing that has changed was the healing process of her wounds on the first day after the treatment. Jasmine's wounds were healing up pretty nicely but she still hasn't woken up from her deep slumber. Leo and the others were starting to get anxious and was wondering if she'll ever wake up from her slumber. Leo has even tried talking to her while she laid there, sleeping. He talked about the things that have been going on in New York City ever since the incident but he wasn't even sure if that will work because she hasn't even met Leo before this. So how could she wake up just by the sound of his voice…but…even if it's a slight chance, he was still going to try his hardest. No matter what, he wanted to be by her side when she woke up even if it means missing his favorite TV show, his training, and most importantly his evening patrols with his brothers. He will stay by her side…Forever…

Ok…I know what you're thinking: Why did this happen!? Will she ever wake up!?
