Our Red / Purple Turtles

Chapter 1

 My shift ended a little after midnight and Jill and i have decided to have a sleepover. Jill and I started walking toward her apartment building when we heard Jill's dad  fighting on the phone with her mom again. Jill let out a long sigh and trudged up the long, run down staircase that led up to her apartment on the 13th floor.

  "Hey honey are you okay? Sorry you had to hear your mom and I fight again."

"It's okay daddy." She hugged him.  She walked into her room and grabbed an overnight bag and stuffed it with her pajamas, 2 pairs of jeans, and 2 long-sleeved shirts.

 "Jill, are you okay?" She looked up with pain in her eyes and nodded. She grabbed her bag and we headed off. Jill seemed happy to get away from her parents, quarrelling and honestly i don't blame her.

As we were walking I realized that I forgot to grab the,"stick," I found after I was attacked by the black suited people.

 "Hey Jill, we gotta run back to work real quick, I forgot something."

 "Okay."

We arrived at the front door and she pulled the keys out of her pocket. I quickly told her we didn't need them because what I needed was near the dumpster. Jill looked confused, but she didn't complain, she just shrugged and followed me to the back of the foul-smelling building.

"Jordyn, why are we back here?" I looked at her and simply said,"Give me 10 seconds and I'll show ya." She looked at me said nothing. I reached behind the dumpster and grabbed the staff. Jill looked amazed,as did I. We hid in a trash bag and headed toward my house. I stopped walking because i heard something breathing...or someone. Jill must have heard it too because a split second later she said,"Do you here that?"

"Yea i do. Stay close to me." Jill nodded. We took one step and the same people in black suits attacked us! Jill got into her fighting stance, and i did the same. I looked at Jill and could tell she was ready to pounce. She looked furious, but not as aggressive as i was because these guys beat me once, and it sure as hell isn't gonna happen again!

Jill lunged for the one in front her, she took him to the ground within 5 seconds. She fought at least 8 of them, until she got thrown against the wall and got knocked out. I tried to get to her because I saw 2 of the people crouched over her, injecting something into her neck.

 I was fighting to get to my best friend, and trust me it was no walk in the park! I was dodging throwing stars as they flew at my torso, tackling 2 of the black- suited people at one time, I even threw a few good punches in there! Eventually, more came, and there was too many for me to fight on my own. One came at me from behind and cut me in the side of the head with a booey knife. I fell to the ground, but gathered up enough strength to get up and fight. I wasn't up too much longer because another one of those ass-holes syringed me in the neck.

  I was almost out when i saw a faint green shadow underneath the street light. It was too late for me to see anything else because within seconds, i was out like a light.

I woke up, my head throbbing, and I was covered by a black blanket with a skateboard on it. I looked down to see Jill sound asleep on the floor, wrapped up in a blue and white blanket that said,"Space Hero's." I laid back down and looked up at the ceiling. There was nothing but long pipes, and then i realized by the wretched stench, that Jill and I were in the sewers.

I sat up and rubbed the side of my head. There was a bandage on the left side of my head, and it was drenched in blood.  I ignored it, although it was very difficult. 

I looked in the kitchen,empty. I looked on the stair-case, no one. Lastly, I looked in the room with a giant tree in the center of it, not a peep. I pulled my knees up to my face and rested my head on them, trying to keep calm. I picked my head up and a giant turtle in an orange bandana was right in front of me!

 "HI!" I jumped, but managed not to scream.

 "Who are you?"

 "I'm...," the mutant was stopped mid-sentence. I turned around and saw 2 other giant green mutant coming out of what appeared to be a lab. One was in a blue bandana and the other was in a red one.

"So there's only 3 of you?"

"Not exactly. There is 4 of us!" A few heart-beats later a 4th turtle came out of the lab and said," Mikey, you're freaking her out, back away." I nodded my thanks and turned to face the other 3 turtles.
