Turtles Forever

Moon Eyes Part Four

The group continued to search for Mikey as they headed deeper into the caves. They used their flashlights to help light their way in the dark. "Mikey! Mikey, where are you?!" Yuuki shouted.

"Maybe, we should turn back and go through the other cave?" April suggested.

"Maybe. Maybe not. We've no way of knowing. Let's just hope he went this way." Donnie said. "But, then again, maybe we ought to hope that he didn't come this way." Donnie shined his light down, showing them what he had found. In front of them were piles of nuclear barrels belonging to the government.

"Aw, man, what are we getting ourselves into?" Raph questioned.

Mikey slowly backed away from the wolves as they snarled at him, inching closer and closer. "My chucks would come really in handy right about now." Mikey gulped. Mikey quickly scrambled when a wolf almost snapped at his ankle.

"Back off! This is one turtle that's not on the menu, today!" Mikey shouted at the growling snarling pack of wolves. As he backed up some more, Mikey bumped the back of his head on a long piece of stalactite that was hanging from the ceiling above. "Ow!"

It broke off in half, whacking Mikey on the top of his head, knocking him out cold.

Alopex woke up and slowly at up in bed, only to be pushed down, gently. Beside her was another female wolf, who was watching over her while Alopex slept.

"Don't push yourself. Remember that you're still recovering from your injuries." She said softly. Alopex looked at the widow to see that it was day and saw the sun shining through the room. "How long was I out?"

"About a few hours." The wolf told her.

"Where's Mokoshan?" Alopex asked her.

"He's outside tending to the herd." Alopex slowly pushed herself up and sat on the edge of the bedside. "I need to talk to him."

"I suppose it'll be okay for you to get some fresh air instead of being cooped up in this room, especially for the babies." Alopex eyes widen in shock, staring at the wolf, trying to understand what she had just said and blinked.

"Babies?" She smiled at Alopex and nodded.

"Yes. You're having twins. Congratulations!" Alopex shook her head in disbelief. She was going to be a mother and Mikey was going to be a father. The more she thought the more Alopex began to worry. She wondered how her babies would look like when they are born. Would they be ugly like her? Be ridiculed for being different...

But there were people who didn't treat her like an outcast. People who cared for her. Mokoshan, Usagi, Gen, Master Splinter, April, Casey, Leo, Raph, Donnie, Venus, Mona, Yuuki, and Mikey. Mikey...Alopex wondering what he was thinking or going through right now. She misses him so much.

When she first sees Mikey, she was going to tell him.

The wolf helped Alopex up to her feet and helped walked her to the door to leave the room and took her outside. Alopex walked over to Mokoshan who was feeding the caribou by the fence.

"So? You keep these caribou penned up. Then you've domesticated them?" Alopex asked.

"Up to a point. They're for emergency use, should the winter be particularly harsh or should the wild herds migrate too close to the world of man. Thereby preventing our hunting them safely, without the fear of being discovered." Mokoshan explained.

"So, your village has never been seen by humans?" Alopex asked him.

"That depends. The ancient people know of our existence. But the newer ones don't." Mokoshan replied.
