Description
we were alone in the next room where he had taken me in the first place. the photo of me was up before he clicked it off. "do you like games?" he asked.
"...depends."
"I like to think of this as a game. we are the players. it seems I am winning."
"alright." I urged him to go on.
"this game... it excites me. however, I am willing to drag this out further."
"you will let us go?"
"yes. but, I will not stop the hunt. I have conditions. I will let you go, start the hunt in 6 months, and wont even track you down until the 6 months are up."
"for what price? with every redo, you insert a new token. what is mine?"
"smart girl... you have nothing I cant get my hands on... perhaps you?"
"excuse me?"
"you. you are going to do as I say or the deal is off."
"what is the price? tell me!"
"I want a sample of your blood. with it, I can analyze it then use your genetic code for a greater purpose then yourself."
"what purpose?"
"that's a secret for the future."
"I would ne-"
"think about. I am asking a small thing and you get a big prize. safety. you can escape and live." I turned my back to him. "think about Splinter. don't you love him? you said you would die for him. this isn't death. this is life. his life. I thought you would do anything for him."
"this is betrayal."
"no. this is payment."
"you will... leave us alone?"
"for 6 months."
"...what would I be doing?"
"that's a girl." he purred. he guided me to a chair and sat me down. he pulled out a needle and gave me a serous look. "if you refuse, Splinter is dead."
Leo's pov
I struggled against my ties. no matter how much I moved, I was to stay put. "Leo..." Raph said. I struggled more. "Leo." I continued until I heard him shout. "LEO!"
"what?!?"
"don't waste ya energy. its pointless."
we sat in silence for a moment until Don broke it. "what do think is happening in there?"
"nothin' good."
"is she going to be okay?"
"I hope so..." I said.
we heard Raph growl. "if he tried anything funny, I'll rip his head off and shove it up his head up his ass, its going out his neck!"
Tiffany's pov
I watched as the blood flowed in the needle and into the bag. he was taking a pint. all I could think was what he would do and why my blood. it became full and he yanked out the needle with force. I grunted and held my arm. "my dear, we still need to clean it."
"get a wipe."
"we're out. we can use this." he left and came back with rubbing alcohol. he grabbed my arm and took the cap off. "this may sting."
Leo's pov
we heard screaming coming from the next room. we all began to struggle against our bounds. it sounded as though something was shaking her. "STOP IT! IT HURTS!!!" she screamed.
"what the shell is going on?!?" Raph asked.
"shes hurt. shes hurting!!!" Don cried out.
it continued for minutes until finally it all stopped. we looked at each other. "is she..." Mikey looked to me. he was terrified as I was for our friend.
the doors opened. she came stumbling out. "you will be set free." Bishop smiled. he took off his coat and put it around Tiffany. I growled. she seemed more pale. she was always pasty but she looked as though she was dipped in white paint.
"what happened?" I asked her. she only looked down. our bounds were undone and we all got up. running over to her, all of us began asking the same question. what happened?
Tiffany's pov
I couldn't bare to look at them. "I did it out of love." I whispered. they looked at me in confusion.
"a escape pod is down the hall. I suggest you make your way to it now." Bishop said. we began walking away when Bishop called to me, "and Tiffany? it was fun playing with you."
"10 minutes until self destruction." a woman voice said over a P.A.
"move out!" Leo comanded.
"he is getting away!" Karai complained. we watched as they ran.
"I know..." we ran down those long stairs, through the room, down halls, and met Bishop with the little jar at the eascape pod. he mirley smiled at us before closing the door and taking off. "this way!" Leo shouted. we ran into an escape pod and left.
we landed in the middle of a park. we had to run away quickly from the sceen to avoid being spotted as Bishop's coat flew off me. we ended up in an ally. "that one was close. i thought that lady was going to have the heart attack." Mikey said while wipping sweat from his head.
"your telling me." Raph grumbled. "she hit me with her bag."
"does anyone know where we are?" Leo asked.
"Pontiac." I said.
Don looked around. "how do you know that?"
"because," I pointed to a building. "thats where i used to go bowling with the fellow convicts. we're about a few hours away walking distance from the you know what."
"Pontiac?" Karai asked.
"Michigan."
"I see. I have a long journey to make. thank you." before i could say anything she ran off.
"now what?" Mikey asked.
"we walk... what way?" Leo asked.
"north." i told them. "for about... lets say... about 50 miles. people running travel, a mile in 15 minutes. if we walk, we'll double that. so lets see..." I was doing math in the dirt with a stick as a pencil. "15 times 2 times 50 thats... 30 times 50... so...150 minutes divided by 60... 2 and a half hours walking distance."
"Tiff, how much have you been spendin' time with Motorbrain?" Raph asked.
"a bit, why?"
"I can tell."
"oh bite me and lets get going."
"which way is north?" Leo asked.
"well, lets see... I learned how to do this while beginning my training as a zombie survival expert. we can make a compass in the wild with water and one needle." I took out an earring from my ear. "we'll use this as the needle." we walked to a puddle. "we place it here." I took a leaf.
"we magnitize it then sey it down. which ever way it points, it'll be north." Don said.
"precisely! now, to magnitize it..." i had to think. "they said a magnet would do it but i dont have one. unless, one of you have one. i doubt it."
"sorry." Raph said.
"think nothing of it." i told him. "another option is silk."
"silk?" Leo asked.
"silk prodects hold magnitic closure." Don explain. "we can minipulate that property to our advantage. but where do find silk?"
"our masks?" i asked.
"no, its not silk."
"i know one place then..." i pulled down one side of my pants... or shorts now... just below my waist to reveal the side of my purple silk undergarments. "i have silk."
"does that mean Tiffany's crouch is magnetic?" Mikey asked.
"men seem to think so." Raph answered.
i chuckled sarcastically. we got the earring magnitic. we put it on a leaf in the water. once it stoped, i retreated the earring and we left.
we were walking down a long road a while later just talk about random things. "well, Bishop was right about one thing." Don came out.
"what?"
"Tiffany walking down a road hurt like last time."
"bite me." i grumbled. "you got zapped too."
"i didnt go on a big insulting rant."
"i was buying time for our helpful friend."
"you basiclly said Stockman's mom is a guy and Bishop has problems in the sexual department."
"I hit them where it hurt." I smiled.
"and so did they." Leo said. "as destracting as it was, it was also foolish. they almost killed you...again!"
"really, i didnt notice."
"just think next time."
"who has the time for that except for Donnie?"
"anyone that isnt Mikey."
"hey!" Mikey wined.
"you should know better." Leo complained.
"it worked didnt it?" i asked.
"i would expect Mikey doing something like that. not you."
"heyyy!!!" Mikey wined louder.
"we are defensive, not offinive." Leo complained.
"Raph does it." i had my arms crossed.
"he doesnt rant insults. he makes one liners."
"hey, guys. check what Raph can do!!!" Mikey nugged Raph. he looked arund for a moment then brought out his sais. he began to stand and balance on the tip of the sais. "oooooooo wow coooool."
"destaction isnt your thing." i said.
"you would know." Leo grumbled.
Raph got back on his feet. "can you do this?" Raph asked. he ran off and got a stick. he handed it to Mikey and Mikey took steps back. he ran and put the stick in the ground. he was up in the air when Raph chopped through the stick making Mikey fall.
"a simple destaction but nothing more." i said. "come, we have many more miles to walk and i have a feeling two special someones have already beaten us there."
"our masters?" Don asked.
"yes. stress is high when i think about them. i have a feeling they are home and since we are not, they are in deep worry."
"we better get back before they go looking for us."
"Tiffany, didnt you say tell us Shifu's last students taught you how to communicate with them?" Leo asked.
"though meditation."
"tell them to stay and we will be there soon."
"why didnt i think of that?" i sat on the ground and began to focus on my masters.
