.:*~An eye as blue as the calm outer sky, another as red as a raging fire. Claws meant for a predator, a wolverine, as sharp and as strong as titanium. A child, lost and thrown into a dark cell, feared by all the come near. I am a loner, past, present, and future. I am a monster, I am a Loner, I am Prisoner X, and I...
...I need a friend.~*:.
The night was sweltering, for a winter night. Sweat poured from the brows of the four shadows shooting across the rooftops. Their stares were dead, almost zombie like. Their breathing was shallow, and quick, with their muscles burning and aching, crying out for them to stop.
"Leo, stop!" The shortest shadow stopped in his tracks, "the patrol is over, let's go!" He decided harshly.
"No..." The shadow in blue snapped coldly. He wasn't sure why he wanted to keep going, "I don't know why, but I feel as if someone's calling out to me." His green body stepped out into the light, followed by three more...turtles. The city lights bounced and shined off their skins, which were sparkling from their vast amounts of perspiration.
"Wwweeiiirrd..." The orange clad turtle cocked an eyebrow, staring at his eldest brother with a tired, odd expression, "what is it that same dream, bro?"
"Yeah, the one about the mystery girl?" The purple banded turtle crossed his arms, "why does that bother you so badly, it's just a stupid, illogical dream!" He gestured with his arms his frustration with his brother's obsession.
Leonardo sighed, deep in thought, "it's just so vivid..." He strained the whispering tone in his voice, "...so...real...I am practically there, fighting along side her...b-but I can't see her. I feel my heartbreak when she falls. I can feel her lifeless self when I pick her up and hold her, and right before she tells me her name, she's...dead...WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?" He screamed to the heavens.
He punched a brick wall without an ounce of rational thinking. Feeling the pain of his action, he pulled away, holding his bleeding knuckles and gritting his teeth to deal with the throbbing sharp pain. The brash first moments of his scream scared a flock of pigeons up and into the night sky, dotting the black sky with little grey and white feathers falling in a snow-like pattern. He then calmed down and stared out into the city in breathless silence and bubbling anger.
"What does it MATTER!" Raphael scowled, "you gotta get your act together, captain, or your gonna cost the team!" He pointed his finger in his brother's face, who pushed his hand away in aggressive force.
"Well then maybe I need a break!" He scowled back, then walked to the edge of building, "I'll be back..."
"Where are you going?!" Raphael crossed his arms and huffed.
Leonardo didn't answer, he just angrily leapt off the building in one silent movement and into the dark cover of night, leaving his brothers to themselves on the building rooftop. The anger in the red clad turtle's expression dissipated and altered into confusion, making him slowly uncross his arms and stare back at his two brothers, who were eyeing him in irkness.
"Was it something I said?" Raphael asked, confused by his big brother's reaction.
Leonardo kept running, the sweat from his head flew off the sea green canvas and into the air, left behind by the raging turtle. 'Sometimes I wish I wasn't the leader...' His thoughts spat angrily. "Why do they always make it so difficult?!" He asked bitterly as he raced across the building rooftop, until a beep and a flash of a laser stopped him in his surprised tracks.
