Red Is My Favorite Color [TMNT* Raphael]

Chapter 4

                                        

                    I race down through the crowded city of New York, trying to get to work. For the first time, I was running late. Well, the restaurant opened around 7am, employees had to be there by 6:30 am. Its 6:25. I pull my hair up into a bun, sliding on my jacket as I ran.

             I look down at my watch, cussing under my breath as time started to speed up. I was just about there when I crashed against a brick wall. Wait, a brick wall in the middle of a side walk.

             I step back, looking up seeing a pair of blue eyes, staring harshly down at me. I back up, gaining back some balance I lost, and walked past him, breaking the eye contact.

             "No apology?" He called out.

              Keep walking, Keep walking...

           I  heard him walk off as I turn into Stella's Breakfast, quickly running over to swipe my card in place.

               "Got here a minute before late time, impressive." I turn my head seeing my boss. Usually I don't see her when I first get here in the morning, only when were closing up.

               "Oh, right. Um- sorry, ma'am."

                "No reason to be. But, can I talk to you for a second?"

          I nodded and followed her to the back of the restaurant where the big garbage bins were, looking at her curiously. "Why did we have to come out here?"

                 "I wanted you to meet someone." Before I could look to where she pointed to, a bag went over my head. I felt my arms be pinned behind me, my wrists being tied. I felt my heart start to race as I swing my head around, hoping to see who and where I was being taken.

                  "Le-Let me go!" I yell, kicking my legs up, trying to get out of this persons grasp.

                  "Don't even try. You'll only make things worse." A dark voice said. Fear erupted through me as I walk along with the person holding my arms back.

               The only thing I could think of right now was an reason. Maybe this was all a prank? Something April might have put together for fun?

                  "Get her in the car, hurry. Before anyone sees!" The same voice ordered. I heard a car door open, the person pushing me started to go faster.

       If I didn't do anything now, I would be stuck, I would be gone.

          I started to scream. I scream at the top of my lungs, but it only lasted a few seconds from the amount of pain forming in my stomach. I was punched, and now I'm pissed.

                    "There's a law! You can't hit a girl for no reason! Let me go!" I yell loudly, begging to kick and squirm again.

                  I was stopped, the bag covering my face was removed, It was him.

                 "Scream, yell, or kick again and we won't hesitate to kill you and O'Neil." The Shredder whispered in my ear. He put the bag over my head once more, I think my heart stopped.
