Shredder Finds Out

When I go to patrol with the guys the next night, I have a weird feeling I can't shake. Goosebumps form and I shiver... not of coldness, but of fear.

"Something's not right," I say, stopping where I am. "I'm not going... not while I have this feeling." Raph and the others stop and turn to me.

"What's wrong, Faith," Leo asks, drawing one of his katanas.

"I don't know. Something's not right, though."

Don looks around, scanning for any danger. "No sign of danger here. Maybe you're just imagining?"

I shake my head, my arms crossed in front of me. "I don't imagine stuff like this. This is very real, Donnie, and very dangerous."

Mikey's nunchucks spin in his hand as he looks around. "No danger here. Not even a HINT of it."

I look around, as well, and hear the noise of a katana going from the case to the hand behind me. "Who's there," I ask, turning around and getting into a fighting stance, the guys following my lead.

"Let me handle this, Princess," Raph says, stepping in front of me.

"Perfect," I hear a familiar voice hiss, bringing the shining sword up in the air.

"NO," I say, pulling Raph out of the way and kicking the sword out of his hand and pinning him against the wall in the light. "Hello, Father."

Shredder kicks me away and get up, looking to me. "Come on, Faith. We're going home." He grabs my wrist and trying to yank me away.

"No," I say, fighting his grip. "I'm not going to YOUR home. I'm going to MY home... with my friends."

My father's eyes widen and then narrow, his claw things going to their full length: a surprising 9 inches. "Come home or none of you will live to see tomorrow!"

I look down and feel his claws scrape the surface of my skin as Leo's katanas block Shredder's attack.

"Don't hurt her," the leader says, fighting Shredder off by Don and Mikey's side.

During the fight, Shredder's claw things enter my leg really far, making me scream out in pain and clutch my leg.

"Faith," Raph says, trying to help me, "is there anything I can do for you?"

I shake my head as I watch blood gush out of my leg right under my knee, trying to heal it but only heal it partially. Blood trickles out, but slower and I try standing, falling back down into Raph's arms. "It hurts," I say as Shredder leaves and leaves the three turtles really injured.

"I know it does," Raph says, looking to his three brothers.

"Let's go home," the leader says, getting up and helping his two younger brothers stand.

Raph picks me up bridal style and we all head down to the lair, really hurt.
