Chapter 2:
Talena's Past
Ever since Talena joined the brothers, everyone has perked up.
Donnie is starting to come out of his room more often, and negotiating with his brothers.
He's not cutting anymore and he's being his regular, old self.
Donnie found out that he and Talena have a lot in common, which makes even happier.
"I have my own lab in Japan," Talena told Donnie.
"Really?" Donnie asked.
"Yeah, I spent my entire day working in it," she said. "If I had some leftover time, I trained with my sisters, and train by myself."
"That's cool." Donnie answered. "What's your weapon?"
"The bo staff, I mean, I know how to fight with every ninja weapon, but I'm most comfortable with the bo staff."
"That's the weapon I use!" Donnie cried. "We have so much in common!"
Talena laughed. "Yeah, it is pretty cool."
Donnie walked away, "You want to join me on the rooftop?"
"Sure."
"So, Talena, I don't want to sound weird, but, tell me about yourself."
"Ok, but please call me 'Taly', my sisters do." Talena said.
"Ok…Taly….tell me about yourself." Donnie said again.
"Well, I grew up in Japan all my life. My sisters are professional ninjas too. I've been training in the art of ninjutsi ever since I was 3 years old."
"Ok, and what about your background?" Donnie implied.
"My parents were killed when I was 2 years old. Samurai Maolier, who is our Sensei and was one of my parents' closest friends, left me behind. A man found me all alone and took me to his hideout and trained me ever since, but when I found out the truth about him…." Taly's voice trailed off.
"Taly, who was this man that trained you?"
"If I told you, you would try to kill me." She looked away from Donatello.
"Who was the man who trained you?" Donnie asked with a firm face.
"Shredder." Talena whispered.
