DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TMNT!
Cold.
Freezing cold.
The air.
The smogy air.
The dark shadows.
A ninja's best defense.
He lay in the abandoned alleyway. A young child by his side. Four feet from the manhole cover.
She whimpered as her life slowly left her body.
He could not save her. He could not save himself.
His plastron, turned from musty yellow to a bright scarlet. His carapace, cracked and chipped. His mask, darkened from a soft plum to a shaded violet.
The black ninjas, long gone. Left the two unfortunete victims to die all alone.
She would never know love.
He knew love for such a short time. Too short.
A broken heart. A shattered soul. All ended the day his Kunoichi saved him.
His brothers will be crushed. They will blame themselves. He would not be there to comfort them.
She will never have a future. Two young girls who could not be saved.
A tear slid down his face. He made no sound. He did not move. He did not fight the darkness.
'I'm coming April.' His eyes slid closed for the very last time. A small smile grew. The fear vanished into the mist. Carried away in the wind.
'Goodbye.' He took the girl's hand. Relieved her of her pain.
'Come.'
Waiting was his love, his friend, his sister, his brave Kunoichi.
'My love.'
'My knight.'
They never worried again.
His family soon joined him.
They were no longer broken.
They were whole.
They were one.
I just had to write this story! I was at school when the idea just came to me! I support Apritello all the way!
I sooooooo hope they end up together in the 2012 TMNT series!
