Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Change

We lay there on the couch for the remainder of the night, occasionally watching TV or eating popcorn. I know I want to be with Cassidy.Why doesn't she see that? I mean, she thinks she'll hurt me. I don't know what she means by that. I told her I should leave because she's got school, but she begged me to stay with her. How could I say no? Tomorrow's Friday, anyway. Screw school. I told her that, and she laughed really hard.

Cassidy turned the channel to the news, and there was a bank robbery on North Sreet. Great. Another one. "Why is that street such a big target?" I ask her, and she shrugs. "Probably because there are a lot of expensive stores on it." she says. "Well, duh." I chuckle. We laugh for a second, then turn back to the TV. "•Investigators say that the robbers of the Gatsby Jewelry store are members of a well known gang called the purple dragons. Eye-witnesses say they saw familiar faces from previous robberies on the block. We will have more information on the 8 o'clock news tonight.•" the news reporter says. We both sit there in shock. First it was helping the Kraang, then the foot, and now they're robbing jewelry stores? These guys are full on psychopaths. "What the hell is with these guys?" Cassidy asks, pointing at the TV. "They seriously need to get a hobby or something.". I laugh a little, but stop when I realize she isn't. "This is serious, Raph!" she says. "I know, I know." I say. Just after I say that, a window shatters in a room down the hall. We jump up, and I pull out my weapons. I see Kraang bots walk into the hallway, and I charge at them. I knock a few down, but other ones file in quickly and grab me from behind. They snatch my weapons from my hands, and tie me up. "Hey! Get off me!" I shout. "Get your disgusting little robot paws off of me, you oversized toaster!" Cassidy shouts. They've got her too. Shit. I reach for my phone, but the Kraang take it before I can get it. "Cassidy!" I shout. They move us out, filing out the broken window one by one. I jerk all I can, but it's useless. Cassidy shouts outrageous things, some of them making me chuckle. "I will rip your hand off of your arm and shove it down your throat like a crane machine! Then I'll rip out the wires and shove them up your ass!" she shouts. She jerks and pulls and punches and kicks, but nothing works. Damn, did these things upgrade or something? They shove us into a van, and just like that- we're gone.

"I can't get these things to break!" Cassidy shouts, yanking at the chains that hold her hands behind her back. "Cassidy, stop! It's no use!" I say. She calms down a little, agreeing with me. This is bull. Why the hell would the Kraang want us? And right as I was about to make a move on her! What the hell?!? "Where are they taking us?" she asks, quieter this time. "I don't know. They've got hideouts everywhere around here." I say. "I can't believe this is happening." she whispers. She leans into me, and I wish I could comfort her. I don't know how, in this situation. It pisses me off. Then the smoke comes. I can tell as soon as it seeps out that it's knock-out gas. I try to hold my breath, but I can't.

I wake up in a small room, tied to a metal post thing, my hands tied behind my back. It looks like something used in horror movies or something. I look around the room, and panic when Cassidy is nowhere in sight. "Cassidy!" I call. No answer. "You're awake. Good.". That voice, I hate it. I cringe. It's a disturbing voice, one that hurt Cassidy, and one that I hate. "Gabriel. Glad you could join my party." I say. I put my eyes to the ground, and don't move them. "Raphael. I have been waiting to meet you for a long time, now. Good to see you." "Oh, you'll see me alright. You'll get a good glimpse while I'm pounding your face inside out." I smirk. He chuckles an evil chuckle that almost sends shivers down my back. Almost. "I have reason to believe that you have very strong feelings for young Cassidy, yes? Such a pity to ruin a face like that." he says. I look up at him, and my temperature boils. "What did you do to her?!?" I scream. My question echoes through the dark room, and he grins. "Nothing yet, Raphael. I surely hope it doesn't come to that, though. It really would be a pity." he smirks. God I hate him. I look back to the ground. "I just have a simple question for you, turtle. I want to know where your sensei, Splinter is." "I'm not tellin you anything!" I sneer. He frowns. "Let's try that again. Where is Splinter?" "Up your ass and around the corner! Take a right!" I shout. "If you insist." he says, and leaves. Shit. "Don't hurt her!" I scream.

Cassidy POV: The door squeaks, and I jerk to attention. Gabriel walks up. "Your friend is very stubborn, child. He doesn't want to cooperate." he says. I smirk. "Good. Only means he doesn't like you, which is a very good thing." I say. He grabs me by the hair, and I wince. "Listen, young one. You watch your tongue, or I will cut it off." he sneers. He lets go of my hair, and grabs my chin. "Let's just find out how much Raphael really loves you." he says. I spit in his face, and he lunges backwards. He wipes his face, and I grin. "Alright, jackass. I'm gonna say this nice... and slow. If you ever touch me again, I will slit your throat. Very... slowly. Got it?" I say, glaring right at him. He walks out the door, slamming it behind him. "I'll take that as a yes." I say. I wish Raph were here, with me. And I wish I hadn't been so rude to him earlier, I want to take it all back. I want him here. Right now.
