The agonizing scream from her parents woke Helena in a cold sweat. She panted a little as her eye's tear'd up from the horrible nightmare. Thats haunted her for a long time.
She hugged her knee's putting her head down on the blanket. The silence filling the room as she thought about things of that past she can't seem to pet go of. The door to the room opened.
"Oh your finally awake" She looked to see the purple masked turtle from the day before. She said nothing as she finally noticed that she was all bandaged up from the beating she recieaved from her aunt.
"Are you okay?" He asked. She shook her head not wanting to answer. The turtle walked over to examine her examined her wounds.
They were all patched up nicely. He was glad she was doing a bit better.
"hungry?" he asked. She looked away from him. He sighed a little not knowing what to do for the girl who his brother found the other day.
"Do you want to rest somemore? Should I leave you alone?" He asked wanting some kind of a response. Helena hugged her legs tightly looking away from him.
The purple masked ninja decided to take a different approach.
"I'm Donatello, whats your name?" he asked. Helena glanced at him.
"Helena..." she answered in a small whisper.
Donatello felt a small accomplishment hearing her respond.
"Helena, will you come with me to meet my brothers?" he asked holding out his hand. Helena looked at his hand. She stared at the green finger tips. Then looked at his brown reddish coloured eyes.
She felt like deciding against meeting others, though staying in bed wouldn't do anything but make her think of horrible things. She saw that Donatello was waiting paitently for her. His hand out stretched.
She slowly reach for his hand but hesitated. The sling around her arm reminded her that he did in fact help her. She was pretty sure he was the same turtle who held her tight while she cried. That gave enough courage to take his hand.
Donatello pulled her gentle up making sure she didn't fall to hurt herself. Her brought her outta of the room into the area where all his brother were lounging around.
"Donnie! Is she okay?" The orange masked turtles asked noticing him. Helena hid behind Donatello.
"She's more or less okay, Mikey, she just needs time also I brought her out here to meet you all" Donatello explained.
Mikey blinked as the two other turtles. One with the blue and the other red looked over to him.
"where is she?" Mikey asked.
"behind me.." Donatello answered. He took her hand.
"its okay, your safe here, I just want to introduce you to my brothers" He said. Helena looked uncertain but allowed him to pull her into view of his brothers.
"Thats Michelangelo" Donatello said pointing to the orange masked turtle who wasn't that far away fro, them.
"Yo! I'm sorry about hurting you the other day, you can call me Mikey " Mikey said. Helena nodded her head.
"The one over there in the blue is Leonardo" Donatello introduced. Leonardo looked at her for a minute.
"nice to meet you" he said to her. She felt a little bad for not responding to him. Though the look in his blue eyes told her. That he understood why she didn't respond to him.
"The red masked one is Raphael" He finished introducing his brothers.
"I hope, Donnie didn't scare you that much" Raphael said. Helena looked confused at first thinking back on when she was crying on him yesterday. She flushed red from embarrement thinking that it didn't affect her when it actually did affect her now.
She shook her head about to speak. When a rat came into the picture. He was dressed in robes holding a stick.
"Master Splinter and everyone this is Helena" Donatello said. Splinter looked at her. He saw great sorrow and pain coming from the depths of her purple eyes.
"My child, you look as if you been dealing with a great amount of pain, I hope that my sons are able to help repair that broken heart of yours.." Splinter said.
"...Thank you..." She said weakly surprised she had voiced out her thoughts.
"You may stay here for as long as you like" Splinter said to her. Helena smiled little only to hide right behind Donnie as another girl came into the picture.
"April! How are you today?" Donnie asked smiling brightly.
Helena looked at the girl with freakles. She wore a yellow shirt with jean shorts.
"I'm good Donnie" She said smiling at him. Helena looked at Donatello then at April.
"Oh whose this?" April asked.
"Her name is Helena, Mikey found her in alleyway on the streets last night" Donnie explained.
"I see, are you okay?" April asked.
"She doesn't talk much, I'm taken care of her" Donatello said.
"I'm April its nice to meet you, Helena" She smiled at her holding out her hand. Helena looked at her hand before looking away from her.
April retracted her hand.
"was it something I did?" she asked.
"no, she's been through a lot lately she probably needs some space" Mikey said.
"I'm thinking she needs me more then anything right now.." Donatello admitted seeing her hands never stopped clutching his the moment she got close to him.
"That and we need to find my dad"April said.
"yeah, that to.." Donatello nodded his head.
"we'll go on patrol the momment it gets dark" Leonardo said.
"What are we going to be about , Helena?, I'm worried about her emotional and mental state, I feel uncomfortable if she was left alone" Donnie explained.
Leo and Raph looked at him then at Helena.
"why don't we just bring her along?" Mikey suggested.
"thats one of the worst ideas ever! It would be putting her in even more danger" Donnie glared at him.
Helena felt guilty seeing as there was a bit of a problem because of her.
"Then we'll leave her with Master Splinter" Leonardo said. Donatello looked a little bit troubled.
"alright.." He agree'd glancing at Helena.
"are you okay with that?" He asked her.
She nodded her head.
"I gotta go my aunts wants me home early for a family gathering later guys"April waved leaving their home.
Donatello watched April leave before taken Helena into the kitchen. She sat down staring at the table in front of her.
"you like her...don't you?" Helena said.
"I do, wait your talking normally to me, thats a good sign" He said putting a pot on the stove.
"..."she felt a tear drip from her eyes. Donatello noticing the tear walked over to her.
"are you okay?" he asked.
"I, was just thinking, of the times, where I felt the same way you do for another person" Helena said smiling.
"being inlove, wanting to be close to that special someone" Helena fought her tears from falling.
"its a wonderful feeling, I kind of envy you to be able to feel that for another.." She admitted.
"you can feel that way to for another can't you?" Donatello asked. Helena shook her head.
"I don't know, if I can, I'm already broken, I feel I have nobody, you would be better off not helping someone who isn't as shattered and broken as me.." She said to him.
"No, I want to help you.." Donnie said walking over to her.
"but, I've already cause you so much trouble, I don't want to be a burden, you should of just left me in the alleway" she said.
"also I'm so afraid that I might start liking you at some point.." She admitted.
"wha?" Donatello blinked feeling a slight blush.
"not that I don't right now, I mean, I do but as a friend but feelings like that always grow when you get closer to a person" She said poking the table.
"Oh" Donnie walked backed to the pot. He poured a can of soup in thought thinking of what she said to him.
He poured some soup in a bowl. Then placed it on the table. Helena stared at the soup.
"I don't know if I'll be able to take another heart break and I don't want to make you feel as if your responsiblfe for me or that you have to love me because I started liking you.." Helena said.
"your not making me do anything I don't want to Helena" Donatello said passing her spoon.
"we could always worry about that when the time comes" He said.
"eat something, it should help with your healing process" Donnie said to her.
"...I don't know.." Helena looked reluctanly. Donnie frowned a little taken the spoon scooping up some soup. The putting it in her mouth forcibly.
"I'm not taken No, for an answer" He said. Helena frown a little bit drank the liquid.
"I'll feed you this whole bowl if I have to, you need food in your system or you won't get back to good health" he said sternly.
"I don't wanna.." she pouted.
"too bad" Donatello said feeding her. When Raph walked in seeing what Donatello was doing.
"Are you two like newly weds now?" Raph asked.
"you've got it all wrong!" Donatello shouted.
"...amusing reaction..." Helena smiled a bit poking his cheek.
"woah, she talks, guess your doing good doctor Donnie" Raph smirked.
"you are so going to get it! " Donatello yelled jumping at Raph. Helena smiled lightly watching the two brothers fight. She picked up the bowl eating the rest of the soup.
A few hours the turtles were heading up to the surface.
Donatello was about to leave when Helena took his hand.
"what is it? Anything you need?" He asked.
"No, just come back safely, Donnie along with your brothers" Helena said. Donatello stared at her.
"uh, don't worry, I'll be back in time to change your bandages, get some rest, I'll be home before you know it" He smiled.
"okay" She let go of his hand as he rushed off after his brothers. He stopped at the exit looking back Helena who was still looking back at him. He turned away from her to quickly catch up with his brothers.
