Rising of the Moon
Chapter 3
Leonardo was leaning against the edge of the roof. Watching the people scurry over the streets. Leading their everyday life. And to think, that the turtle in the black trench coat was the one that helps continue these peoples lives. And not so much as a thank you. 
Not that he cared for peoples blessings. He wasn't doing it for them. Nor was he doing it for himself. These species of animals just didn't diserve to exist. And if there was any good ones, they should know better then to walk on Vampire Hunters turf. And not expect a life threatened.
Another scream. High pitched, a female scream ecod through the air. One that he was quite famliar with. The sound that he herd every night, he hears in his mind, in his dreams. Snapping his head in the direction his feet already taking off torwards the sound. Hoping he could get there in time before another one was claimed dead. By the time he found the alley. No sign of movement anywhere. He hoped down the fire escapes till he hit the ground. He looked over his surroundings. Nothing. Suddenly something squishy was herd under his foot. Looking down he found he just stepped on a bloody female body. She was fairly young. Pale, brown hair, wearing paints and what he assumed was a red T-shirt. But that could have also been the blood and the fact that most of her throat was ripped out.
He grimaced at the body. Leo bent down. Turning her head to the side so he could get a better look at her neck. They seemed like smaller fangs then what he usually sees and it wasn't as messy. At least this one didn't tear her stomach out and have her guts laying around her. 
Suddenly something jumped on him. Nearly nocking him over. He got to his feet. Trying to shake off whatever was on his shoulders. It was growling and snarling and he could feel it trying to bite him. Immediately when he was about to slam it to the wall it hopped off him and on to the fire escape and started crawling up. He snarled following it up till he ended up on the roof. 
Nothing but silence and darkness surrounded him. The lights of the city shining the roof enough that he could see where his feet was. He unsheathed his sword. Preparing for an attack any moment. Instantly, it grabbed him from behind. One arm choking his throat as the other wrestled with him for his sword. Leonardo grunted, trying to regain his stance before thrusting his body forward. Throwing the thing off him. It flipped off his back. In the air before it landed perfectly and slid on all fours before it came back up on it's feet. He quickly took out his other sword. Staring hard into the dark. 
He couldn't quite see what it was. He knew it was a Vampire, but he couldn't tell what gender, size, or any look.
"Vampire Hunter, eh?" A dark and deep voice with a touch of brooklyn accent spoke through the darkness. 
He wasn't expecting that voice to talk to him. The toughest Vampire he's ever fought was big, bulky, and had a deep voice. But from the look of him he would have crushed him under his weight. But from what he could judge from his latest expierence from this thing. He had great strength, fairly heavy for him, and considering how easy it was for him to land so gracefully when he tried to throw him off. He had done his share of fighting.
"Who are you?" Leonardo demanded gruffly.
"Isn't it obvious?"
"Step into the light. Unless your scared of it." He taunted. He could hear the smirk in the others voice. Leo continued to stand in his fighting stance waiting for who ever, or what ever this thing is to step out. 
The thing finally did. But as soon as the light hit the monster, his eyes widen in shock and fear. The figure was exactly like him, a turtle. His skin was darker then his, like an emerald green if he was specific. His left eye was glowing red next to a red mask his other eye hole on his mask was sewn followed with a scar that looked like it went straight through his right eye. He sported a leather jacket that hung neatly from his shoulders like it was made specifically for him.
"What's the matter? Never seen your species mixed with your enemy?" He smiled evilly. Clearly amused with the situation. 
Leo continued to stand in his place. Frozen as he stared at the turtle opposite from him. The turtle was right. He's never seen his species mixed with a Vampire. In fact he's never seen his species period other then his friend Mikey. He shook his head out of it's shocked state. Growling at him, he ran in for an attack. The turtle smirked, already enjoying what was escalating. Leo didn't care if he was his species, or a vampire. What ever he was, he wasn't going to stand around asking questions. He's a monster that just killed a women and he disserved to die as much as the next Vampire.
Unfortunally this monster wasn't like any Vampire he's fought before. He was easily a good fighter if not one of the best. Finding it kind of tough to get his blade through his chest. But they were both still standing, not one of them down on their knees begging for mercy just yet.
The emerald turtle blocked another attempt of a strike to his heart. Elbowing his back the turtle scampered forward before spinning around. Cutting the red clad turtles arm. He hissed and saw his teeth starting to show and he had to admit that he looked much better with those fangs in. If they grew anymore he was sure he jumped out of the fiery pits of hell.
Leonardo jumped in for another attack before he blocked it. Using his other sword he managed another deep cut to his other arm. The emerald turtle snarled before dropping down to his knees, swinging around he swept Leo's feet from under him. Landing shell first of the ground. He tried getting up but already found the red clad turtle on top of him. Pinning him hard to the concrete, making it almost impossible to move. They both panted. Staring hard into each other's eyes. Trying to recover from the fight.
"Heh, look at this. Vampire Hunter pinned under the Vampire. What a twist. And to think, I could kill you right now and be the hero." He whispered in the turtles ear. Releasing a few growls along with it made Leo shudder in fear.
He's never lost to his enemy. Let alone be pinned and scared by one. But he couldn't help it, it's like this turtle has his own meaning of scary.
"Fortunally for you. I'm not interested in what the other vampires think of me. Besides, I already had my meal." 
"Oh why don't you just kill me now." He spat angrily.
"Naw, I actually enjoyed myself tonight. You put up one hell of a fight." Leo tried struggling but it felt like the red clad turtle put his hole weight on him.
"Maybe we can do it again some other night." 
"What do you mean by "again"? Your not going anywhere till my blade is in your chest." He snarled.
"Oh really? I think your forgetting who's pinned under who." Leo continued to stare into his red eye. Finding it actually interesting to look into. Like there was something burning inside it and he couldn't help but wonder what he could see when he had two eyes. The emerald turtle smirked at him once he felt the leaf green turtle finally relaxe and he released his hold just a little. Enough that blood could get back into his limbs. He bent down close to Leo's ear. Leonardo could feel his warm breath flow past his neck making him shiver.
"R-A-P-H-A-E-L." He spelled out.
"What?" Leo asked, confused. The red clad turtle winked at him.
"See ya around." And before he had any more time to question him. The turtle was off him and gone in a flash. He turned to his side. Watching as he ran along the roofs in an unimaginable speed, till he was finally out of his vision.
"R-A-P-H-A-E-L? What's that?" He asked himself. Then realization hit him.
"Raphael!?" He continued to lay on the ground. Staring at the last place he saw Raphael. The memory of their fight running through his head over and over.
'Where have I herd that name before?'
