This is my first Ninja Turtles story. The other turtles will show up eventually but it will be at least halfway through the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Ninja Turtles
Raph ran on to the docks hoping there would be some where to hide. He spotted a big old three masted sailing ship that he thought would have plenty of places to hide. He climbed up one of the mooring ropes and silently ran to the cabin door only to find that it was locked. He could hear one of Bishop's goons shouting to the others to search the ships. He started desperately trying to pick the lock with his sai. He could here someone climbing up the side of the ship. Just when he thought they where going to catch him again the lock clicked open and he ducked into the cabin and relocked the door. By the time Bishops men had left it was already getting light out, he knew he was to weak to make it home, so he started looking for a better place to hide for the day and hoped that no one would be taking the ship out that day, even if they did it would take hours to get a ship this big ready to sail so he thought he would have plenty of time to sneak off if he had to. Raph found a door at the back of the captain's cabin that led down through the galley and in to a storage area with crates and stuff he could hide behind. He found some sails behind some of the crates and collapsed on to them and was asleep with in seconds.
Mary and her mother Susan arrived at the docks just after sunrise.
"Mary I really don't think you should be going off on that ship by yourself. What if something goes wrong or you get hurt and there's no one to help you." Susan said.
"Mom I'll be fine, uncle Jacob use to take it out by him self all the time and that was when he was ninety years old and he took me out on it with him over a dozen times over the last couple of years and taught me everything about how to sail it and I've told you before it has a good radio that has always worked perfectly. I will be fine."
"Couldn't you wait until one of your sisters could go with you?"
"Rebecca won't be back from collage for another three weeks and Ellen has half a dozen auctions to get ready for.
I have internet access on the ship I promise I will e-mail you every day to let you know how I'm doing. I have to do this uncle Jacob made me promise him before he died that I would still go even if he wasn't here to go with me and I really want to go."
"I'm not going to be able to talk you out of going am I?"
"No you're not. Now go home and enjoy the peace and quite while you can before Ellen gets home and starts complaining about all the raccoon droppings on everything in that barn full of stuff she has to auction off next week. And try not to worry about me to much."
Susan sighed and said. "Alright be careful and try not to bring any sea monsters home with you."
Mary grinned and said. "How about a dragon or maybe I can visit Loch Ness and bring Nessie home with me. I'll see you in a few months." Mary gave her mom a hug and kiss and said. "I love you. Now go home and relax."
Susan said, "I love you to." and headed back to her car.
Mary carried her suitcases in to the captain's cabin, started unpacking her stuff and then headed out to get the ship ready to go.
Raph woke up to the sound of an engine running and excruciating pain in his back and thought "great what ever Bishop injected me with is starting to work and just my luck someone had to be taking this ship out today."
He snuck up to door that lead to the captain's cabin and listened for a minute. When he didn't hear any one on the other side he opened the door and headed for the door that lead out to the deck. After listening for a minuet and still not hearing any one he slowly opened the door a little ways there was no sign that there was any one else on board but the ship was heading out of the harbor and was few hundred feet away from the nearest dock. Raph silently snuck around to where he could see the wheel. There was a young women steering the ship, she had long brown hair, was dressed in a full length forest green dress with sleeves that came down to just above her elbows and then had a wide ruffle that came almost to her wrists and there was no sign of any one else onboard.
She's probably just moving the ship to a different dock to pick up a crew to sail the ship I can try to get off then. There's no way she could be taking it out by her self, one person couldn't possibly get this thing ready to sail, especially dressed like that and the motor doesn't sound big enough to move it any faster than this its probably just for getting around in the harbor.
Then he saw her start pushing some buttons by the wheel and the sails opened up and the ship headed out to sea.
Great just great a ship that only takes one person to sail it. My luck keeps getting better and better. Don would love this. Guess I'll stay down below and hope she doesn't have any reason to go down there. If I survive the stuff bishop gave me I can head home when she docks again although with my luck she's headed for another state.
He headed back below and laid down but was in to much pain to sleep.
If I ever see bishop again I'm going to make him pay for this maybe I can find out what he injected me with and give him a taste of his own medicine.
After a couple of hours he was in so much pain and so weak that he finally passed out.
That afternoon Mary stopped the ship so she could get something to eat. When she went in to the galley she noticed the door that lead down to the storage area was open a little ways as she went to shut it she heard something that sounded like someone moaning in pain.
Just what I need a stowaway.
Mary quietly went back in to her room and opened a closet that had about a dozen swords in it and pulled one out.
I'm glad I left part of Uncle Jacobs's sword collection on board. As long as who ever is down there doesn't have a gun I should be fine.
She quietly headed back down, when she got in to the storage area she turned on the lights and headed to the back of the room were it sounded like the moaning was coming from. As she came around one of the piles of crates she gasped, dropped her sword and took a few steps back. Lying in front of her was what looked like a turtle that had to be at least five and a half feet tall, but its arms and legs looked more like a humans and it had wings coming out of the upper half of its shell.
Ok, I've read about giant turtles before but they were supposed to be in Canada and Vietnam.
I don't remember any being reported in New York and never one with wings.
What am I suppose to do with it now. Sure I've wanted to discover a new animal but I thought it would be Bigfoot or the Loch Ness monster something that I would get pictures or video of not actually catch one. I guess I will have to leave it down here until it wakes up and see if it's friendly or not and then decide what to do with it. I just hope it's not dying it sounds like it's in a lot of pain but I don't see any blood. I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Mary slowly reached forward and picked up her sword and headed back to the galley and locked the door so the turtle couldn't get out of the storage room.
After eating lunch and checking to make sure the turtle was still asleep Mary went back above deck and set sail again.
