The Turtle and the Murderer

The Truth Lies Within the Blood

'Blast' 'Blast' 'Blast' Mikey's eyes went into a widening glare. He grabbed Nora by the waist before pulling her towards him. All she could do was squeak from surprise. Once she landed on his lap, he began to softly growl while holding her closer. Nora began to blush a light scarlet. Dionysus, Zoomo, and Saoirse stood up, going towards one of the walls. Nora looked at them in confusion. 'What are they doing...?' Nora thought quizzically. Saoirse placed her hand on the wall. Suddenly, the wall opened into a hidden room. Saoirse, Dionysus, and Zoomo walked into it. Once they walked back out, Nora saw what looked to be guns in their arms. 'Well, good golly.' Nora thought, being completely baffled by their protective preparations. Saoirse walked towards the Young Couple. "Okay, Cerberus. Mommy's gonna need you to hide Nora. Once you know she is safe, you can come out here." Saoirse stated bravely. Nora looked up to see Mikey nod. Mikey quickly stood up and ran through one of the doorways. Everything was black and blurry; Nora could barely see anything. "Once you know she is safe, you can come out here." She kept replaying Saoirse's last sentence in her mind. 'She's allowing Mikey to go fight like that...?' Nora thought dumbfounded. She tried looking at Mikey, but all she saw was his glowing Sakura Pink eyes. She nuzzled closer to him, taking a deep breath, and Mental Linking. "Mikey, what's going to happen...?" Nora wondered worriedly. Mikey looked down at Nora before looking forward. "I will leave you in my room, then I'll help them fight off the enemy." Mikey mentally replied, having sounded calm about it. Nora gave him an annoyed look. "You sound like this is normal." Nora thought haughtily. Mikey chuckled, causing Nora to blush. "Though it is rare, we do get attacks. As usual, we are always prepared." Mikey mentally stated. Nora sighed before looking forward. She clung her eyes shut tightly before questioning. "Why can't I help you fight...?" Nora thought quizzically, sadness evident in her Mental Voice. Mikey skidded to a halt before having her face him. She looked at him quizzically before he spoke. "I am not losing you to them. Understood...?" Mikey physically questioned, determination looming in his Sakura Pink eyes. Nora immediately knew who he was talking about, so all she did was nod. She had an annoyed look now. 'I'm still not okay with this...' Nora thought stubbornly. Mikey sighed before embracing her. Nora, having not expected the gesture, slowly hugged him back. Concern was showing on her once annoyed features. "I wouldn't know what to do if I lost you to them..." Mikey stated slowly, desperation clear in his voice. Nora sighed before looking at his neck. She raised a brow. There, still sticking to Mikey's left side of his neck, was a bandage. She huffed while biting her cheek. 'Boy, he goes all out, doesn't he?' Nora thought playfully. Nora slowly grabbed the bandage. Mikey looked down at her right as she removed the bandage. "Hmph..." Nora huffed calmly. 'The bruise is still there...' Nora thought calmly, holding back a giggle. Mikey looked to his right before huffing. Nora smirked before licking the bruise. Mikey flinched in delight. His full tail slowly slithered its' way out of his shell and wrapped around Nora's leg. She giggled at his behavior. Slowly, she started to lick his neck again. This time, she licked his nibble spot. His tail wagged on her leg and he nuzzled her neck. After a while of licking his neck, Nora bit it. Mikey's eyes glowed even brighter before he bit her neck. She gasped out of delight and shock. Blood softly oozed from her neck before he licked it away. When he lifted his head, he looked into Nora's eyes. He smirked at her, causing her to blush again. 'Blast' Mikey's smirk faded before he looked to his left. He softly dragged Nora over to it, opened the door, and nudged her into the room. He turned on the light before shutting and locking said door.Nora gasped before running towards the door. Once in front of it, she banged her hand against it. "Mikey!" Nora shouted, desperation to see him alive growing. She quickly turned around and tilted her head. There was a bed in the right corner, a nightstand next to it, and a capsule in the left corner. 'This must be Mikey's room...' Nora thought worriedly, calmness beginning to creep its' way towards her. She placed her hand above her chest while trying to calm herself more. She slowly walked towards the bed. 'He better come back alive.' Nora thought with determination burning her soul. Once she sat down, she cupped her hands under her chin. She looked down in worry. 'What are they going to do to him...?' Nora thought worriedly. She growled before shaking her head. 'No! I shouldn't think like that!' Nora thought angrily.
