Hello everyone! I still do not own the TMNT but really, who does? EEEEEEEENJOY MY LOVELY READERS!
Leona only wanted one thing in life. Love from her brothers she loved so much. Sure, her sensei loved her, but her brothers seemed to forget she even existed. They probably didn't even know that she was very good at ninjutsu, she never practiced with him.
Her brothers didn't want her too. She wore a blue mask, and liked to be called leo. Her brothers mikey, donnie, and raph, never spoke to her. They neglected her almost. She was the elder child, and knew she shouldn't think so foolishly. But she had never been to the surface, her brothers wouldn't allow it.
Leo sat on the couch and stared at the television. Nothing was on, just a black screen. She was waiting for her brothers to come home, she was always worried when they left. She thought that someday, they wouldn't come back.
She sighed and sank further into the couch,she wanted to go with them. It wasn't too much to ask, she was 17 for pete's sake. Leo heard hollering echo through the tunnel and knew her brothers were home. She jumped off the couch, just in time to greet them.
Raph entered first, her immediate younger brother. " Hi raph!" she greeted as usual. " How are the stars shining?" she always asked the same question. Mainly because she had nicknamed raph ' the star' one day.
That day didn't go down very well. Raph got mad at her for giving him a stupid nickname, and mikey got mad at her for nicknaming something. Donnie just didn't talk to her. Donnie never spoke to her.
Raph didn't seem to hear her question, as always. He was too busy talking to donnie about something. "- how come we are so awesome huh?!" Raph asked as he high threed him. They laughed and went into the kitchen, mikey following, cracking a joke.
Leo sighed and walked after them, but hesitated before she entered. I'm not welcome there. She thought and went into the dojo instead. When she entered, she saw that sensei was in his room sleeping, so she closed his door and began to practice her kata.
Splinter said that she was more advanced than her brothers, but still wouldn't let her go topside. He said she needed more time. " huh more time." she muttered to herself. Once she had finished, she turned to the door. She saw nothing.
She wanted for one day to turn and see her brothers awed faces, then they would tell her how good she was and that she should go on patrol with them sometimes. That was just a silly dream, it would never happen.
She sighed and walked back into the living room and sat back onto the couch once more. She wanted to spar with someone other than sensei. One time she asked to spar with her brothers, but they just laughed like she had told the funniest joke ever.
Her brothers entered the room, holding some pizza, and laughing. " hey guys!" she called out. They ignored her and sat on the other side of the couch. Mikey was explaining the events of that night to his brothers… again.
Once he had finished leona took a deep breath, and decided to go for it. " hey guys, I have a question to ask." She told them.
" What's that?" raph asked annoyed.
" Will you take me topside tomorrow? I'm reall-"
" NO." raph said sternly. Leo sat in shock for a moment. " But I've gone really far in my training! I can handle it!" she argued. " I said no!" Raph said louder.
" I just want to hang out with you guys and use my tale-"
" LEO DEAR GOSH! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND ASKING TO GO TOPSIDE! EVERYONE KNOWS YOU DON'T ACTUALLY PRACTICE AND JUST SAY THAT SO WE BECOME JEALOUS OR SOMETHING! YOU JUST SIT HERE ALL DAY ON YOUR SORRY BUTT! WILL YOU JUST GET OUT OF OUR LIVES?! IT WILL MAKE BOTH OF LIVES EASIER IF YOU JUST DISAPPEAR!YOU'RE A POINTLESS ADDITION TO THIS FAMILY!" Raph suddenly screamed at her.
It took only seconds for his words to sink in. She looked into his eyes, and saw hatred, pure hatred. Then, without warning, he pulled out his sai and lashed out. She could feel the blade go across her cheek. She got up off the couch and stumbled backwards away from him. " I love you brother." she said, her voice shaking before running off into her room.
She slammed the door behind her and sank to the floor crying. SHe didn't cry loud enough for her brothers to hear, they would tease her if they heard. Was what raph said true? Was she a pointless addition to the family? Maybe she should disappear.
She stopped crying and got to her feet. Her face hardened, since when were her brothers ever there for her? Since when did they tell her that they loved her? " I'm only taking one more order from you raph, and that's to disappear." she said to herself quietly.
She didn't pack anything except weapons, her trusty katanas of course. She left her phone, but grabbed a small leather notebook that she kept on her dresser and opened it to the next open page. The last page. She was proud of herself for writing all the way through in it. She grabbed her pencil and scribbled her last entry in it. Once satisfied, she went to her bed and lay down, trying to get some rest.
If raph wanted her to leave, then fine. She would leave, and never come back.
So that was it. I hoped you liked it. I am going to day I will be updating less because I am currently working on 2 stories right now, and am in middle school. If you couldn't tell already, leona is a female version of leo. Have a wonderful rest of your time until your sweet slumbers.
