Chapter 1

Mystery Women

She sat upon the stallion's back and ever so gracefully balanced herself as he cantered along the side of the road. She was a strange woman. Indeed like no other woman seen before to his eyes.

The stallion she rode was gray with a blue eyes and a brown eye. He was bulk with muscles and set high with pride. He was certainly one of the finest Arabian horses around. His tail was flowing in the night wind as he cantered gracefully through the park. The girl on his back had red hair. It was the oddest color he'd seen in a long time. Hair usually wasn't that red, but her's was like fire. Her eyes were bright green and full of concentration. He watched her fluid movements.

She was wearing a beautiful green gown that was almost see through. It went well with her eyes, flaming hair, and pale skin. He was entranced by her and for once felt his anger disappear and admiration was over him. He wished he could go out to meet her, but he was afraid she'd run away from him. He looked down for a moment to look at his green hand holding his sais tightly. Then the hoof beats stopped. He looked up to see that she was gone.

" What the hell !" He ran to where she was, but she wasn't around. He looked around frantically trying to find her, but there was no trace. He looked to the ground to freshly made hoof prints from the horse she rode.

" Well at least I know she wasn't all a dream." He turned and walked away slowly. He wished he could have followed her or that she hadn't disappeared so that he could watch her some more. Who was that strange looking girl anyway.

Well now I have to find something to do. This sucks ! I hate this place.

He looked around his new surroundings and turned up his lip in disgust. The turtles had to moved to Texas 3 weeks ago and Raphael still wasn't use to it. He didn't like the idea of moving, but he had no choice. April and Casey weren't coming down for another 4-5 months from then and Raph was just plain bored. Seeing that strange girl was the most interesting thing to happen yet. But then she had to go off and disappear. He walked slowly through the park and looked at all the things around him. It was late and no one was out, so he was safe to roam around freely.

Raphael had gotten into another fight with Leonardo that afternoon, and he wasn't gonna take it from his brother, do he left. He had come to the park to be alone, but that's when he saw the woman riding her horse around. He headed for the road tat would lead to the city. He had on his hat and trench coat and since it was dark, it would provide him with some cover from the humans.

He crossed the road and walked to a large apartment building. He climbed the fire exit stairs and got on top of the roof. Heaving a sigh, he went to the edge of the building and looked at the city below. There was nothing to do.

" Boring ass city" he grumbled.

Michealangelo picked up his fountain pen and began to draw a little picture of a girl. She was sitting on a hillside naked. Her long hair covered her personal body parts. He made her hair curly and light. He inked in a few more details and then moved his pen away to admire his work. A lot of his work was based on woman and an occasionally his family. He got up and put his drawing inside a folder where he kept all his art work. There was plastic covers for each one of them, so that they would be protected from damage. He wiped the tip of his pen and then took it off and set it inside his case for the tips. He closed the ink bottle and put it away.

He walked out of his room and to the living room. April had an aunt that had owned the house and she gave it to the turtles, now that her aunt was dead. There wasn't much furniture though. He looked at Donny who was sitting with his laptop typing contentedly. Leonardo was with Splinter in the another room and as usual Raph was gone and in another funk.

" Donny, are you bored ?" Mike asked.

" Ya sort of. I don't have a nice big computer, only this laptop and it's kinda frustrating."

Mikey smiled. Don always has to have a computer or he would come close to dying. He walked to the door and left. There wasn't much to do and his hand was tired from drawing, so he went for a walk.

I wish there was more to do around here. I can't do anything here. This place is so boring and I wish there was some action around.

He walked until something caught his eye. It was some sort of animal.

" Is that a horse ?" he asked himself quietly. He walked toward it, but it started to run away from him. It couldn't have been a horse or he would have heard the sound of it's hooves. The animal was gone and Mikey started to go to the spot where it was. His coat flew back alittle with the wind, but no one was around to see it. He looked around to see that there were no hoof prints, instead there was some sort of clawed marks. It was almost like a hand with long claws, but it wasn't like a human hand.

" I have never seen anything like this before." He said to himself. He looked up to see a figure heading his way. It was someone dressed in black with a mask on their face. He looked at it to see it had the figure of a woman. He watched as she suddenly stopped and pulled a pair of sais from her belt.

" Can you fight, freak ?" Mike was alittle shocked by this, but pulled out his chucks and got ready to fight. The woman stood ready and without warning leaped at him. He spined his chucks around and then swung at him. It hit her in the shoulder, but she still fought him. The sais grazed his cheek and then she punched him in the stomach. She was strong and could really fight. He became frantic, but kept fighting. She had just came out of no where and started a fight with him.

I don't think this is the exact action I really wanted.

He kicked her face and she fell to the ground with a loud thud. He heard a growl come from her mouth as she got up. The growl was like that of a wild cat and it almost scared him.

Ok Mike concentrate, concentrate, concentrate. It's just a girl. You can take her down. It's only a girl, nothing to be afraid of.

He threw a high kick that she dodged, but he quickly came around and gave her a punch in the stomach. She twirled around and gave a high kick to his face. He fell back and she was about to stab him, when she felt a hard kick to her back. Mikey wiped the blood from his mouth and looked to see Raphael there, sais in hand and ready to hurt that girl. She got up and they started to fight. Mike watched as she fought with the equal amount of skill that his brother had.

Damn she's good !

All of a sudden, she kicked him between the legs and he fell to the ground holding the spot. She laughed devilishly and looked at him.

" I like you boy turtle. I like you a lot. You may serve as useful to me and my company. Raph growled and spit at her. She became angry again and went down on him. She pinned his wrists to the ground and sat astride him.

" You are such a bad little boy. You must be taught a lesson for what you did." Then she slapped his face hard. He broke one arm free of her grip and punched her in the chest. She punched him back in the face and made blood come from his mouth. Mike was still there watching and thought about getting up to fight for Raphael, but by look on his face, he didn't want anymore interference unless it was really necessary. The girl looked at him scornfully. Her eyes could not clearly be seen in the dark, but it was obvious she was pissed. Raph then punched her again, but she raised her foot to his face and gave him a good hard kick. Her boots were somewhat heeled, so it had to hurt him. More blood came from his mouth and he looked at her with a cold look. She seemed to smile and then pulled her mask down. Her face was still unclear to them. She leaned forward and her tongue met his mouth. He was shocked by what she had just done that he jumped alittle. She licked the salty tasting blood from his lips and smiled at him.

" You taste good turtle boy." He starred at her in shock and then pushed her off. She back flipped and landed on her feet. She pulled the mask back over her face and watched the two turtles get up and ready to attack her. She laughed at them and then took off for the street. They followed in hot pursuit. She was faster than they were. In fact she was faster than any human was. They heard her laugh again, but kept going. She turned to a corner and when they got there she was gone. Raphael and Mike stopped dead in their tracks and looked around.

" Where did she go ?" Mike asked baffled.

" I don't know Mikey. She just disappeared. Kinda like this other chick." Mikey looked at him questioningly.

" What other chick ?"

" Oh I saw this chick at the park riding a horse. She had really red hair and bright green eyes. She was wearing some see through stuff too."

" Do you think it's the same girl ?" Raph gave him the look.

" Mikey, no. I mean if you looked at this chick you would be able to tell that she wasn't the type. Besides the one we were fighting had dark eyes and all. I didn't see any red hair either."

" That's cause she had some type of hood on."

" Ya well I don't think it's the same person, but the way they both know how to disappear so quickly....maybe they are from the same place. That chick did say something about a company."

Mike nodded as he remembered what she had said.

" We gotta tell the guys." He said. Raph nodded and then looked at him.

" One thing though. Do not mention what she did to me. I mean the pinning down and the licking thing, OK ?" Mike agreed and they set off for home.
