Here With Me
Chapter I: Reflections
By: Michelle
Splinter watched as his sons unloaded the sub. They were back in China again. They didn't plan to come back so soon, but it was the only thing he could think of getting help for Venus.
It had been nearly a week since Dragon Lord threw her in. He feared for her safety. She was alone in an unfamiliar world. She was in the world of the dragons.
He also feared for his son. Raphael was taking this hard. Splinter worried for his health. He wasn't eating much or sleeping. He only sat in front of the mirror with tears rolling down his face.
Splinter watched the motionless Raphael. What could he say to him to ease his pain? How was the father to comfort his son?
He felt so helpless. Raphael and the others had come to him for help, but he could not. Venus scrolls were in Chinese. He could read Japanese.
Splinter walk over to Mai Li home. She was Venus only hope. Hopefully, she could help Venus when he had failed.
*********************************
Leonardo watched his younger brother mourn for Venus. He knew the feeling. He had been there before. He didn't know how to talk to him. How to ease his pain. He just watched his brother mourn.
Many times he wanted to go over to Raphael and hold him and tell him everything's gonna be alright. He just couldn't do it. He wasn't sure if it would hurt him more or ease his pain.
Raphael had always been the hot tempered one of the group, but not lately. It was like he wasn't the same person. He just looked so lost without Venus. He knew he was hurting bad.
Here he was, the fearless leader. The watcher and protector over his brothers, but he could not protect Venus from being thrown in the glass. If only he could have stopped it, Raphael wouldn't be in so much pain.
******************************
Mondo Gecko watched as one of his friends mourned for their love. He understood the pain. He too had lost a love, but he figured it wasn't the same.
He came to China with his friends to help them in any ways he could. He just felt so helpless. He didn't see how he could help ease Raphael's pain.
He was glad he came though. It was a beautiful place, especially the area Venus grew up in. His only hope that she would be alright. For Raph's sake anyway.
In the meantime, he talked to Michaelangelo who was worrying himself sick over Raphael and Venus.
************************************
Donatello sat at the laptop and wrote a letter to April to tell her what happened. He was glad he brought his stuff. He just felt so useless. Hopefully, April could check for any dragon disturbances.
He turned and looked at Raphael. He had never seen him like this before. Well, except when Splinter was kidnapped by Shredder. But, this was worse than that. I guess. He guessed.
He remember that moment when Raphael was touching the mirror, hoping to touch Venus again. He remember that scream. At first he thought it was Venus, but it couldn't have been. Or could it?
He looked again at Raphael. He didn't know what he was feeling inside. He had never lost someone he loved. He wanted to tell Raphael that everything was going to be alright and that he understood his pain. Of course, its not as easy as it seems.
Poor Raph, he thought to himself. Even thought he was the smartest one in the family, he could not help Venus out of the mirror. He felt like he was a failure to him.
*************************************
Michaelangelo watched his brother mourn for Venus. Raph was the only brother that seemed to understand him best. Venus was one of the sweetest friends he ever had. He worried for them both.
He had always been the one to get everyone out of the worst and unhappiest mood. This time, he could do that. Raphael's pain was to pain was too hard for him to crack. He felt so useless.
He was glad his friend Mondo Gecko came along with them. He was definitely a big help. Mondo told him that if he prayed that God would here him and protect his family. He listened to his advice. He felt better. He knew someone would protect both of them.
