Cat Paws Part 1: Meetings
Canada now thats a great place to live, if you don't mind the cold air
during the winter. I used to live there, before the accident, when I was
human. Now I live with my other friends in New York, I fit in with them
perfectly. You see my friends are four 5' something Turtles and their
sensei/serogot father Splinter is a 4' something rat. I am now a 5'6 cat.
Today I am going to tell you how I bacame to live with my unique friends.
It all began two years ago just before my eighteenth birtday, my dad
finnaly agreed to let me live with my uncle Jeff for the summer in New
York.
"Now your uncle Jeff is a busy man so stay out of trouble, ya hear?" My dad
said as he hugged me tight.
"Me get into trouble? what ever do you mean father?" I asked with mock
innocence.
"I know you better then you know yourself Caley." he said with a chuckle.
@ last call for flight 478: Ottawa to New York @
"I gotta go." I said hugging him once more "I love you daddy"
He hugged back. "I love you too my little warrior. you be carful and call
me every night before bed ya hear?"
"I hear. bye " I said as I broke the embrace and walked to the plane.
~~~~~~~~~
The Flight was so boring I drew four pictures of my father, my mother, my
dog Koko and one of all of us together. As soon I was back on good old
terra firma once again I imediatley saw my uncle Jeff waving to me. I waved
back as I walked up to him.
"hey kid how ya doin?" he asked as he engulfed me into his huge arm and
gave me a great big hear hug.
"Not too bad just loosing all circulation in my arms is all" I said, hoping
my arms didn't fall off
"oops sorry" he loosend his grip on me
"s'ok, no harm done."
"how about we get your bags and then grab a bite to eat?" he said finally
letting me out of his hug "how does that sound?"
" Great! I'm starved"
We ended up going to Burger King. I tried to order a Potine but they didn't
even know what it was. I had forgoten that not many people had ever heard
of it unless they went to Canada or knew someone from there. I ended up
getting a veggie burger and a Mountin Dew.
As soon as we got back to his house and he showed me my room I floped on
the bed to take a nap. I had slept a good two hours when the smell of fries
and gravy woke me up.
"hey Caley. good sleep?"
"Yeah. Smells good whatcha cookin'?" I asked as I walked over to the stove
and took a deep whif of gravy
"Potine and New York style pizza" he said taking out a big bag of curds
from the freezer.
"heh, best of both worlds" I smiled as i stole a fry from a huge bowl.
"Hey! Out of there." he cried as I stole another. "Jeez you're just as bad
as your Mother was."
"Yeah. I know." I said remembering how she would always stole fries from me
when we ordered pizza. I had been five years since she had died in a five
car pile up on the 401.
Uncle Jeff saw my face and decided to change the subject. "Hey how about
you go have a seat in the dinning room suppers almost ready." he said as he
handed me two plates and and forks.
As I walked out of the kitchen and into the dinning room, I noticed a
Banner that read `Welcome to New York Caley' in Bright Green and Red
letters. as I looked around more I noticed that the room was filled with
red and green streemers and balloons. (if you haven't figgured it out by
now my favorite colours are red and green).
"Welcome to New York." Uncle Jeff said behind me. I turned and smiled
"Thank you." was all I could say. After supper we had a little party and
cought up on old times.
Two weeks passed and I had finally become familliar with the nabourhood.
that morning I decided that since uncle Jeff wouln't be back till eight
that night that I would go for a walk in the park, and maybe draw a bit
aswell.
It was about seven when I decided to start home. I was about two blockes
from my house when someone grabbed me and pulled me into an alley.
"well, well lookey what we have here." called to the man behind me to the
others in the group, there were about five men.
"Let me go!" I cried as I struggled succsesfully to free myself from his
grip.
"Oh we got a fistey one here boys" one of them laughed, as they circled
around me
I got into a fighting stance, ready to fight incase I had to. "stay the
hell away from me!"
"Oh whatcha gonna do bitch slap us?" another said as he walked up to me.
"Big mistake jack ass!" I said just before I side kicked him causing him to
lose his balanced and fall flat on his back.
"Grab her!" the leader shouted. Two men advanced on me.
"Shit!" I cried as one grabbed me from behind. the other walked up. "Don't
come a step closer" I warned him
"hehe watcha gonna do?" he said as he took a step closer
"This!" I cried as my foot made contact with his crotch. he growned as he
fell to his knees.
Just then the other two came towards me and one punched me in the stomach.
"Bitch you shouldn't have done that." he said as I tried to catch my
breath.
"And you shouldn't call her a bitch." said someone from the shadows
"what are you gonna do ta stop me?" he asked looking around to find the
person the voice belonged to
"This!" just then a man in a trench coat and a hat that covered most of his
face ran out and puched the one holding me so hard I head a crack as I
assumed he broked the guys jaw. He then turned to the one who had just
punched me and did a round kick, knocking him off his feet. the other
grabbed a pocket knife and was just about to jump my savior but I kicked
the knife out of his hand.
"I sugest you leave" I said as the last of my attackers stared at me. he
nodded and ran out of the alley. I turned around to the stranger and put my
hand out to shake his, "Thank you for you help."
"uhh your welcome." he said staring down at my hand.
"uhh yeah well I should be going then" I said as I lowered my hand and
turned to leave.
" Wait I think I should walk you home." I turned back to him. "Uhh I'd feel
better if I knew you were safe in you home"
I smiled "sure okay" and with that we walked out of the alley and back onto
the street.
"So where ya from?" he asked as we walked
"umm Canada." I said as I looked at him and noticed something green and red
under his hat.
"huh, I thought Canadians said `eh' alot." he said looking back at me. I
rolled my eyes
"yeah and my dads a lumberjack also `eh'"
He Burst out lauging. just then I got a good look at his face, and realized
he wasn't human.
"My names Rapheal but you can call me Raph."
"Caley. nice to meet you" I went to shake his had and again nothing, I
wandered what his hands looked like. "uhh my uncles house is just across
the street. Do you want to come in and have a slice of pizza. my uncle
won't be home for another half hour or so. You wouldn't have to worry about
getting any weird looks"
He just stared at me. "what?"
"Um well I saw your face....oh I am so sorry if I insulted you, sometimes I
like the taset of my feet"
"who are you!" he asked as he took out two wepons that looked like large
forks and knew right away that they were sais.
