It All Started With Turtles (TMNT FANFIC)

An Abrubtive Meeting

[Ashley's POV]
I walk along the sidewalk of New York City, after school. I casually walk past an alley, where I hear a gang communicate. I don't want to get involved so I whistle and trot along, minding my own business.

Then they say, "Hey, you! Come here!" I freeze and look down the alley. "Yeah you, come here!" I stop and stick my tongue out. "Try and catch me." I almost yell then they run after me down the street for two blocks.

I run down another alley and take a breath. "Few! That was close!" I say to myself right before I see them peer around the corner.

I give them a angry look. "Really?" I roll my eyes. Then they throw a punch at my face. "Ouch!" I grab my cheek, that's already turning purple.

"Umm, okay well..." I scoot back to the wall. "Umm, I think I'll just leave now!" I say inching away from them. Then the leader, I'm just guessing, pins me against the wall. "What do you want with me?" I say.

"I think I've seen you around before. With the 'turtles'." He says the word 'turtles' with disgust. "Yeah!" Another gang member says. "Shut up! Anyways, what do you know about the turtles?!"

I get a smirk on my face and go into sarcastic mode. "Well, there small and cute and I used to own one when I was in third grade. Oh, you mean another gang, don't you?" What kind of a gang name is 'The Turtles' anyway?

He raises an eyebrow and was about to say something when... "Ouch! That brat just bit me!" He eases the grip on me and I take my chance and escape. I run to the only exit when the men close it up.

I search around for another way to run but there isn't one. "Crap!" I say out loud.

They come closer and then I find a sewer drain. "Well, I guess I don't have a choice. I slip in and I hear them mutter, "I'm not going down there!" Then I walk along and hear a noise and flinch. I walk forwards to the noise.
