Chapter 6

I closed my eyes, ready to be killed to save my brother, when a clanging sound echoed through the shed. I looked up and saw Raph using his sais to keep the armoured man's sword at bay. His brothers jumped from the roof and landed in a protective circle around me, each holding their weapons out.

"Attack them you fools" Yelled the armoured man. The men in the suits lunged forward and a battle ensued.

"Raph how did you find me?" I called out.

"I saw you enter this building after I specifically told you to stay back at the lair. Now go find your brother and get out. We'll take care of the rest" Raph replied, not looking at me or stopping his fighting. I looked over to my brother to see he was running to hide behind a crate. I stood up and staggered over to the crate. I peered around it and saw him huddled over with his hands over his ears and his eyes shut tight. I touched his hand gently and he jumped away from me, his eyes flying wide open. When he saw it was me he moved towards me and took his hands away from his ears.

"Come on Jason, we have to leave" I said. Jason looked up at me.

"How do you know my name?" He asked. I smiled and knelt down.

"I am your older sister. I have known you since you were first born. My name is Tristan" I replied. Jason looked into my eyes and seemed to look for any sign that I was his sister as I had claimed to be. He nodded once and stood up. I took his hand and led him out from behind the crates.

"Okay, the door is over there. We won't be able to make it unless Raph gives us a path out. I don't remember if there is any other way out, it's been years since we were here last" I said, more to myself. Jason pulled his hand out of my grip and I quickly turned.

"The turtles dropped from the roof right? So there must be an entrance up there" He said, pointing up.

"Jason you're a genius" I replied. We both started to climb the crates leading to the roof. Jason made it to the roof first and crawled through an open window. I was going to follow when I was grabbed and thrown back down. I rolled on the floor and landed on my stomach. I looked up and saw some of the suited men coming towards me. I quickly got up and ran for the open door. I burst out into the daylight and blinked a few times before running off again. I ran towards a construction site which had a few people working and were surprised to see a young girl running right into the site. I heard the slapping sounds of feet coming up behind me. I spun around and saw that the suited men had followed me. As the first one lunged I dropped to my hands and knees and kicked a leg up hard in his chest. The man staggered back and the second one lunged. I rolled to one side, nearly landing down a large construction hole. I stood up and punched out. My hand was caught and twisted up behind my back. I hissed in pain. From the corner of my eye I saw Raph running up to me. The suited man turned me to face Raph then placed a sword to my throat. Raph froze in his tracks.

"Come closer and the girl dies" The suited man said, pressing the sword tighter to me, which trickled a little amount of blood. Raph clenched his teeth and dropped his weapons. The suited man laughed. "Well done, now turn around and head home. I have to have a little chat with this child" He said. I clenched my teeth and felt adrenaline run through my body. I pushed back. The man lost his footing and we both went tumbling into the construction hole. I rolled over and over until I reached the bottom and lay still on my back. Pain coursed through my body and I groaned. I heard Raph shouting.

"Tristan are you alright? Tristan?" I opened my eyes and looked up at the small figure of Raph at the top of the hole. He was kneeling down and clutched the edge of the hole. I shifted my body and sat up. I heard something shift behind me. I turned and was hit in the face with a fist. My head snapped back and I moved quickly to my knees. Before I could stand, I was kicked in the stomach, causing me to roll onto my side. I coughed up some blood and looked at the figure. My eyes were going blurry and I felt my head growing dark. I was picked up from my shirts collar and held up so my feet weren't touching the ground.

"How dare you injure me" Said the suited man that had entered the hole with me. I kicked a leg out and caught the man's neck. He spluttered and dropped me. I fell to the ground then stood up. I ran as best as I could to the side of the hole. Raph chucked down a piece of rope and I grabbed it. He started to pull me up, just as the man ran forward. I only just managed to get out of his reach as he jumped.

Raph took my hand and pulled me up once I was in reach. I stood up straight and looked at him.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked.

"Your brother told me you were in trouble and I fought my way out to find you" Raph replied. I smiled.

"He was always great at letting anyone know what was going on quickly" I said. Raph nodded.

"Come on, we have to find my brothers and get back to the lair. Shredder ran off once he saw that his foot clan was losing" He said.

"Okay, where is Jason?" I asked.

"Jason is with the van. I told him to stay there until us or my brothers went back to it." I smiled. We started to walk back to the van. By the time we reached it, the other three turtles were already there. The back doors opened up and both Raph and I got in. we sat down and Raph held out his hand.

"Here is your necklace back" He said. I held my hand out and the necklace dropped into it. I placed it on and clipped up the back. Jason was sitting in the front seat with Donny and the two were chatting. Michey and Leo were sitting beside each other, both looking out the front window and Raph and I were sitting together, not talking. Leo looked over to say something then must have noticed I was looking pale.

"Tristan, are you alright?" He asked. I looked up and nodded my head once.

"Just feeling a little dizzy" I replied. Leo turned to Donny.

"Hey Don, we need to get back as soon as possible. Tristan may have been injured during her time with Shredder" Leo said. Donny nodded and drove faster. I felt that I couldn't hold my head up much longer and felt myself falling. I was caught by hands before I hit the floor of the van and laid down gently. Everything then went into total darkness.
