Wow it's not a tmnt story! This is weird. However, I found myself reading a lot of Justice league stories, ending up with me asking question and wonderings. Hence now I'm writing a story. XD. Just a short beginning. Most of my beginning chappies are short any who soooo. :D.
.Prologue.
.
The boy of seven years old stared at the muddy ground, the earth itself looked to be drowning. His hand gripped his sisters tightly, wishing it would all go away. The girls hand squeezed back before it was with drawn. A small whimper left the boy but nothing more as he grabbed his own hand knowing she didn't like contact. Not anymore.
Looking up he saw the tear stained cheeks of his sister, saw her dark eyes burning with anger and saw the quiver that wouldn't leave her legs.
At least she was home now.
The rain beat against them relentlessly, causing the girl to pull up her hood. Looking down at her brother with a frown, she tucked him beside her, letting him hug her leg.
" I promise to protect you, Jack." Her tone was laced with a maturity that shouldn't have been placed on a young girl, let alone one only fifteen. Her dark eyes never left the muddy ground, but her hand was placed on the boys shoulder.
Jack smiled, relieved to only feel a small shiver, nothing like it used to be. He rested his head on her leg smiling at the muddy ground, at the ruthless rain and the city.
"I know" He whispered, he whispered because his voice would go no louder, not anymore.
A loud crack of thunder made him jump but he did not make a sound. Listening intently past the rain and the storm he heard the familiar buzz of his sisters bones, felt the current run over her skin and saw her eyes go black with that unknown power she seemed to always have.
Stepping away from her brother she started to walk. The mud splashed her sneakers and her old jeans dragged. She didn't look behind herself to see if the boy followed; his noisy sloshing let her know.
Her long chocolate colored hair fell out from her hood, plastering itself to her jacket. She didn't care. With her hands in tight fists, she continued past all the cement, past all the trees and the mud- Heading away from the city.
" Scarlet?...Are-are we going home now?" Jack asked his sister, looking around at the endless muddy road.
" No..We don't have a home anymore...it was never our home to begin with so we'll find a new one" Scarlet answered, her tone harsh.
" But what about our things? My bear he's still on my bed and-"
" We don't need them-...those things." She stated simply, " We're going to leave this Jack, and we're not coming back. A new life doesn't start with old things"
Turning her head she looked at the small boy. He was far to small for his age, she'd have to fix that. Fix everything. Throwing her head to the side she motioned for Jack to hurry up.
His sloshing boots echoed loudly in her ears. " Slow down Scar! You're going to fast" He whispered out, basically running to keep up what looked to be only a saunter for her.
Not saying anything she slowed down, allowing the boy to catch up panted but said nothing. Rolling her eyes, Scarlet reached over grabbing the boy and putting him to her chest. Frozen the boy gaped.
" But Scarlet...You don't have to..I know you don't like-"
" Enough" She said in a low tone.
Houses passed by, and no one bothered the two as they went down the muddy road on that Sunday in January. They simply disappeared into the cold rain on the muddy road. Scarlet hoisted the boy higher as he began to slip. He was light so it wasn't a problem there, it was simply that the rain made it difficult.
Her legs shook and slipped, not wanting to brace both weights any longer. Jack moved, holding himself on her, not wanting to weigh her down. Looking to the rain clouded skies he let a tear fall even as he smiled.
"I wish the stars were out" he whispered.
Her only response was the tightening around his small body as she continued down the muddy road.
