This a quick warning to everyone there is a lot of death talk in this chapter and it is quite short sorry but I will bring you another chapter soon so enjoy.
"Leo? Leo are you awake?" Emily was shaking his shoulders Leo groaned and sat up he had only just finished having his daily beatings. "Yeah I am awake what's up?" that's when Leo heard muttering from the far side of the cell. He tried to sit up but the long gash across his chest erupted in pain and forced him to lie back down. "Venus he is awake" Leo saw a dark figure lean over him. "Hi Venus" he said softly. He heard her breathe a sigh of relief. Venus grabbed his hand and brought it up to her face "Leo these are my sisters. Leo felt his hand being passed to a softer one it was gentle and cold. "Hello" a shy voice came out of the dark "my name is Belladonna or Bella for short" Leo could hear the intelligence lacing her voice. That was unusual Leo thought. It was rare to hear intelligence in a person's voice but there it was as clear as day. "Hello my name is Leonardo" the girl's hands tightened a little. "Nice to meet you Leonardo. I am grateful that you have looked after my oldest and my youngest sisters and it will be a dept that I will owe to you the rest of my life" Leo marvelled at how mature this girl sounded. "You owe me nothing" Leo insisted "it is me who is in dept. Without your sisters I would have never survived. Venus has healed me and Emily more times than I can count." He felt the girls head bob in understanding "that power in particular is one Venus will have to teach me." He heard humour in her voice "so you too have powers?" Leo asked "Yes" Bella replied "though my field of magic is more along the lines of Terrakinesis" she replied. "In English please" Emily insisted. Bella sighed but Leo could tell she was amused. "Well Terrakinesis is the ability to control geologic materials such as minerals, dirt and rock" Leo nodded "what about the rest of you?" Leo asked he usually kept his mouth shut but he was curious" Emily jumped in my power is hy-hy-hydro-something-or-other" Bella sighed again "as you may know Emily has power over water and can bend liquids to her will the scientific name for it is Hydrokinesis. You may also know she possesses Telepathical and Telekinetikal energy" Leo nodded "the ability to read people's minds and move objects with her mind. Yes? Belladonna nodded he felt a smile creep onto her face. "Now you obviously know that Venus has the ability to control air its name is..."
"Aerokinesis" Leo answered without thinking. Belladonnas eyes had been glowing for a while so Leo could see her face light up "yes that's right" she sat up a little straighter she looked eager to tell Leo everything she knew. Of course she would by the looks of it she was just like Donnie they both loved being faced with new challenges. Leo looked at the dark figure sitting next to Venus "the names Violet" she answered before Leo could answer "and Pryokinesis" Violet wasn't paying much attention to the group she kept rubbing her hands together and then pulling them apart to reveal a small fireball no bigger than an apple she let it go and it nestled in the middle of the circle warming all of them up. Venus had gone back to sleep using her hands as a cushion. Leo decided not to wake her she would need all the energy she could muster for what they were about to do. Leo turned to Belladonna "please continue" Leo said. The girl nodded "anyway we can all train with neutral magic. Neutral magic is a combination of spells all 'benders' as we are often called can use, such as healing spells, sleeping spells, deception spells and others neutral magic is a lot tougher to master." Leo thought for a moment before responding "aren't all magical powers tough to master?" he asked "no" Belladonna replied "a bender is born to one of the four elements. So it is easy for a child to master the element it was born into it is like natural instinct" Leo again thought hard about his next question "are there evil benders?" he asked tentatively. Belladonnas face fell "unfortunately yes but sometimes a bender pushes themselves too far and loses control." Bella's tone was low "as I am sure you can imagine this is catastrophic. Last time a Pyrokinect lost control it caused the eruption of mount Tambora" a dark look crossed Bella's face "71,000 people died" Leo gulped "last time a Hydrokinect lost control he caused a massive tsunami 150'000 people were missing or dead, last time a Terrakinect lost it an earthquake shook china" a sad look crossed her face "69,197 dead." "And Areokinects?" Leo asked Bella sighed and looked at the youngest Emily had let a few tears drip off her face. Leo leant underneath her face she was smiling. "Sorry" Leo apologised "I shouldn't have asked" Belladonna shook her head "no Leo I would be worried if you didn't ask it is normal for people to ask. Not that we run into that many people she looked up. "Emily" she said sounding amused and exasperated at the same time. Emily had made a tennis sized water ball and it was half an inch away from the distracted Violets face. Violet looked up and glared at her and as soon as she stopped concentrated the room was once again bathed in darkness. "Emily" two voices shouted one was annoyed and the other angry. "I didn't mean it" Emily squealed as she dodged her sister's hands swiping at her. Emily squealed with mock terror and ran to the other side of the cell followed by an angry and now wet sister. Leo sighed "I don't get it five minutes and already they are fighting?" Belladonna said. "They remind me of my brothers" Leo said eyes glued to the two struggling figures. "You have brothers?" Belladonna suddenly became interested "are they um ..."
"Mutants?" Leo said finishing Bella's question "Yes they remind me of my younger brothers" Bella looked at Leo for a second "Their names are Raphael and Michelangelo." Belladonna nodded and looked over at the ongoing conflict. Violet had now pinned down the youngest and was tickling her. Emily squirmed laughing so hard tears ran down her cheeks. Leo looked on smiling. He felt a tug on his arm Venus was sitting there examining the gash on his chest. "Bella I am going to teach you how to heal" Belladonnas eyes widened "now?" she asked. Venus nodded. "B-But why now?" Belladonna sounded slightly panicked. Venus reached forward and cupped Belladonna's face in her hands "have you seen this" she gestured to Leo's chest "it needs to be healed before we leave" Belladonna's eyes become round as her eyes rest upon the deep gash still oozing blood down Leo's plastron. "It's OK Venus I can manage" Venus locked Leo with a gaze the mental link was up. "Leo you need this" Venus thought at Leo, he shook his head. "I am fine" Leo insisted firmly. "You need to be healed Leo I won't argue with you" Venus' mental voice was full of concern. Leo knew this was one fight he was going to lose. Venus turned back to Belladonna and looked her in the eye. "Do you trust me?" Venus asked "of course I do but-"
"Belladonna listen to me" Belladonna looked up into her older sister's gaze "You have healed us countless times"
"Minor cuts and bruises" Belladonna said panic now clearly audible in her voice. "No that isn't true is it you healed a broken leg once." Venus reminded her. Belladonna looked at her older sister. "Belladonna I believe in you" those words seemed to wash over Belladonna. She stood straighter "OK you have to show me." Both girls shuffled over to where Leo was lying. Belladonna placed her had on Leo's chest. "Now say and Yùhé shāngkǒu imagine it healing" Belladonna nodded. She closed her eyes and then opened them. Her eyes were glowing green "Yùhé shāngkǒu" Leo jumped when he felt the muscle and plastron knit back together leaving a thinner and shallower cut "Sorry." Belladonna rasped. She sounded like she had just run a marathon. "Are you kidding that was amazing" Leo said patting her shoulder. Leo looked at Venus and their eyes interlocked. Leo's soft blue ones gazing into her electric blue ones "Its time Leo" Venus thought. Leo smiled I am coming home guys, I'm coming home.
