Summary: Shooooort One-shot - One turtles find himself comparing him to a flower

Just wanted to write this down before I forgot it! I have thought about this story for so long so it was time to put it in to words. No, I haven't forgotten my story Silver Iron, I just needed to write something else for a change :D I hope you will like it; it is in Donnie's pov! :'D


Like a Flower

I have thought about it recently, I have thought about it a lot to be preciously. A flower I am, a flower so green, a flower so strong but so fragile in the same time. I live of water, I live of air and I live in the soil so brown. But I'm not alone…

I am always there, there in the background. They don't notice me a lot, but I am always there to look after them. Standing in my pot, my leaves reaching out for them, a gentle touch they can give me when they need comfort, speak to me they do when they're lonely because they know I'm always listening. They give me water, they give me air and they give me their love. But even flowers can be forgotten from time to time…

Slowly I'm withering; my leaves losing their colors, my petals are gradually falling off, one after one. I'm dying; my life is slowly fading away into the thin air. I pray to my god, I pray for my small soul. I'm waiting for death to grab me; I'm waiting for the freedom it's supposed to bring. But then they're there…

"Donnie! Come on, the movie starts soon!" Mikey's loud voice, like running water, reached him; he stopped in his writing to give a quick glance at the direction of the lair's living room. The door to his lab was opened, but no one had disturbed him this night, not until now. Not even Mikey, his fun loving little brother, the one who always brought a smile to his lips.

"Take it easy Mikey, Don comes when he feels for it." Leo's soft voice, like air, followed soon after, scolding his little brother for his impatient. He's always the leader, always taking care of everyone and always the one who protects him from any danger, his big brother.

"Yeah, but I won't explain to him what have happen in the movie when he comes after half an hour!" Raph's steady voice, like the soil in the ground, trigged a smile on the purple masked brother. Raph; the hot-headed and the impatient brother, the one who always rushed headlong into battles, the one who always acted instead of thinking; but in the same time the brother who he always could rely on. Donnie sighed and shook his head before he took a deep breath.

"I'm coming guys, just need to write a few more sentences!"

He took up his pen and with a smile on his lips he continued to write with new thought about his life.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

They're noticing me, when my colors are fading; they're noticing me, when I'm so close to death. They give me water, they give me soil and they're giving me their love and bringing me back to life. They need me; a flower so beautiful, a flower so clean, a flower they need to live their life…

But even a flower can't survive without the Air, Water and the Soil…


A/N: Told you it was short! :'D I don't know what it came from… Can come from the fact that I am on my way of killing Kenneth… x'D Kenneth is one of my flowers… Or no, he's not a flower, he is a cactus. And don't ask me HOW I manage to kill a cactus. It just happened x'D Now you have read it, review it! :'D xD
