Chapter 1
Leonardo woke up the next morning with a headache. Sitting up in his bed he rubbed his eyes thinking it was just the lack of sleep from earlier Leonardo stumbled into the bathroom. Turning on the water Leonardo rubbed his face with it letting the water drip off his nose as he stared down the drain. Suddenly a wave of dizziness came to Leonardo like a bus causing him to fall and cradle his head in his hands. A flash of memories too fast for him to see of understand passed him in a blink of the eye. Leonardo blinked his eyes a few times shaking his head. Standing up Leonardo gripped the sides of the sink and looked up at himself in the mirror.
Leonardo stood straight up taking a step back to steady himself, shaking his head Leonardo got himself washed then changed into his navy blue shirt with a grey jacket that had a breast pocket on the left side, long stone grey pants and charcoal work boots. Leonardo walked out of his room brushing his short spiked black hair with his fingers then grabbed his phone, backpack and keys and walked out the door grabbing his black leather jacket and helmet. Leonardo walked outside throwing his jacket, placing his backpack over his left shoulder and pulling out his bike Leonardo drove to school believing that his last contact with those three turtles was over and he had nothing to worry about.
As Leonardo parked his bike, taking off his helmet and carried it inside, across the street on top of the building's rooftop a figure watched as Leonardo entered the building then retreated back into the shadows.
In school Leonardo was just going by his day as he normally did, go to class, hangout with his friends and eat lunch with his teammates. One of Leonardo's best friends was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes; she was a tomboy and made other guys cringe when they got on her bad side.
Leonardo waved her over.
"Hey Jones over here." Leonardo shouted.
"Don't yell at me and if you do call me by my first name not my last idiot." She joked.
"Sorry Shadow." Leonardo said moving over a bit.
Shadow was two years younger than him but they played on the same soccer team when she came to high school. At first they both hated each other because of their clashing attitudes but when they watched each other on the field they grew better and better with their techniques and stamina. Leonardo helped Shadow to become co-captain of her soccer team her second year and she helped Leonardo lead the boys' soccer team to win the championship.
From what Leonardo found out about her parents they were both good people, her father a mechanic and her mother a scientist Leonardo wonders how they world collided at times since they worked in two different worlds.
"My little brother is a pain in my ass." Shadow complained shoveling her burger into her mouth.
"What did he do now?" Leonardo asked.
"He went into my closet and took my leather jacket. He knows that he can't come into my room but he does it anyway. We fought and now my parents grounded us and I can't go anywhere but school and home." Shadow stated.
"What about you're after school activates?" Leonardo asked.
"Those and work are okay but I have to call and have proof I went to them. God I hate him so much." Shadow yelled gripping her burger tighter and tighter.
Leonardo placed his hands on top of Shadows' to stop her from making a bigger mess.
"How long do you have?" Leonardo asked.
"A month. You're lucky Leo you have no one but yourself." Shadow said.
Leonardo shrugged his shoulders.
"Yeah but would like someone to talk to." Leonardo said.
"What about your girlfriend?" Shadow asked.
"Yes what about me?" A voice said behind Leonardo placing her arms around his neck.
Leonardo smiled and gave her a peak on the cheek.
"Other than you Lilith." Leonardo grinning.
Lilith took her seat beside Leonardo at the end of the table.
Lilith was the captain of the track team for girls and they met through mutual friends. Lilith had long blonde hair that she kept braided over her left shoulder, light blue eyes and beautiful features many believe that Leonardo and Lilith as the top couple at school and Lilith the girl every boy wants. Lilith was wearing light grey blouse with a black jacket over it and dark blue skinny jeans with black boots.
"Do you have work today?" Leonardo asked Lilith.
"Yes I have a shift at the diner. What about you?" Lilith asked.
"Yeah I have a back to back class with kids and adults later today on top of a game tomorrow I'm going to be tired." Leonardo said.
Lilith rubbed Leonardo's shoulders.
"Oh poor baby do you need me to nurse you back to health?" Lilith joked.
Leonardo and Shadow started cracking up when a thud hit the table. Across from them was a teammate of Leonardo but someone who hated him.
"Hey Zac what's up." Leonardo asked trying to be friendly.
"Whatever man I'm trying to eat here not gag up my lunch from your PDA." Zac said taking a bite of his sandwich.
Zac or Zachriel was the captain of the soccer team before Leonardo came but after a leg injury Zac had to take a year off from school. He was a bright guy with short brown hair was slight curved to the right side of his face with his bangs just hovering over his right eye, green eyes and lightly scruffy face. He had the team jersey on with a long white shirt under it, light blue pants and white and blue sneakers.
After he recovered and came back he found out that Leonardo took his place and led the team to victory. Now he was vice captain since his leg hurt him at times and couldn't deal with the stress at times. Bitter at Leonardo taking his spot the two never get along but work together in front of their coach and teachers so neither of them gets kicked out of school or the team.
Lilith took her hands off of Leonardo's shoulders and moved a bit away from him.
"Don't be bitter cause you don't have anyone Zac." Shadow stated.
"Stay out of this kid this is between me and Mr. Popular here." Zac barked back.
The bell to lunch couldn't ring any sooner and everyone got up and threw their trays away. Leonardo said goodbye to Shadow and Zac and walked Lilith to her next class before running to his own.
"See you later." Leonardo said looking down at his girlfriend.
"You too Mr. Popular." Lilith joked.
Leonardo and Lilith gave each other a kiss goodbye. Lilith watched as Leonardo ran to her next class then moved in her own.
Inside class Lilith took out her books and notebook but as the teacher was talking Lilith took out a different pen than she was using. It was pure black fountain pen with a silver skull on top of it. Lilith pulled out a smaller notebook from her backpack that was black with an upside down silver outline of a cross. The pages themselves were black to Lilith as she wrote in it in black ink the ink turned read and said,
IT'S TIME HE'S READY
After Lilith wrote this she stared at the notebook and under it words started to appear in red.
NOT YET BUT SOON. GET RID OF THE PROBLEM
Lilith wrote back in the notebook and placed it back in her bag with the pen as soon as she wrote her reply.
YES MASTER SHABRIRI
While this was going on Leonardo was sitting in class with Zac when he left the room to go to the nurse for his leg. When Zac entered the room the nurse handed him a key and nodded her head. Zac placed the key into the lock for the bathroom and turned it. As the key turned the lock the lock itself started to glow a bright white light. Zac pushed the door open and entered quickly. Engulfed in the bright light Zac walked across a plain of nothing but white until he was met with a mirror and his reflection. Zac took out of his pocket a silver object that looked like a pen but when Zac removed the lid steam started to pour out of it. Zac quickly moved it across the entire mirror then returned it to his pocket.
Zac took his finger and started to write on it.
THE PLAN IS IN PLACE BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM
The mirror started to form letters from the steam on the glass.
DEAL WITH IT THE BOY MUST REMEMBER
Zac wrote back on the glass
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN'T DO HE WILL BE OURS FATHER
Zac placed his hand on the mirror and watched it start to glow a warm bright light before disappearing.
Zac walked out of the room, returning the key to the nurse he walked back to class just in time for the bell to ring for the next period. Zac looked over to his right to see Leonardo handing him papers.
"These were the handouts you missed when you were out." Leonardo said with a smile.
"Thanks but I could've gotten them from the teacher myself." Zac said.
"Yes but I know how much you dislike him." Leonardo said.
"Whatever." Zac said rolling his eyes, throwing his backpack over his shoulder he left to go to his next class with Leonardo in tow.
When school ended and everyone went their different ways with Leonardo caught in the middle of his girlfriend and guy who was okay with him but hated him at the same time. Zac stayed with Leonardo until he left to go home since they were on the same soccer team and Lilith met up with Leonardo after he was done with work. Both of them never let Leonardo out their sight even when one of them was not seen in the back of their minds they knew they were being watched.
