Chapter 3- Stay
Pov Raph
I don't have a clue why I grabbed her, why I stopped her, I mean she came her with all intentions to kill my family but the look on her face just wouldn't allow me to let her leave, I mean she is beautiful, way out of my leagues. I mean come on I am a turtle but still a guy can dream right.
"What?" right what was I gonna say.
"Um..."
"Well?" god I can't even talk.
"I believe what my son is trying to say is that if you like you may stay here with us. Tell those men you quit and live here where they cannot get to you."
"Can't if I can find this place then one of the others will be able to. So they will just come and get me and take you out at the same time," she seems almost sad to say that, like she doesn't really want to.
"Believe me we can handle owt that comes our way," I guess that was Leo's way of trying to reassure her that it is ok to stay with us.
"Well, if that's the case, then how come you were losing to me," all of us just pause, "thought so you can't think of a reason, we are trained in all areas of fighting. I have to admit you are good fighters," damn right we are, I think to myself, "but your centres are off and at least one of you lets his anger get the best of him."
Ok I know that was directed at me, but I just shrug my shoulders. I can see that my master does not want to let her leave, I mean sure she came here to kill us but she didn't, she couldn't, but know she is willing to risk her own life for us because she couldn't do it. "No!" god what am I saying; now everyone is looking at me. "Master, we can't let her leave she will be killed because of us."
"Raphael, I know, but if what she says is true then we cannot risk our family."
"Master?"
"What is it Leonardo?"
"Surly we cannot let her go to her death?"
"My son you are right, but we cannot force her to stay."
Just then we here a beep and we all look at her.
"Just a message asking if it is done yet," she says with almost no emotion. This time it is Donnie that speaks up.
"Just text back saying it isn't and that you quit. You can stay here and we will protect you, right Master?"
"Of course my son, if the young lady wishes to stay." We all look at her wishing she would stay.
"I dunno, believe me if I say that then someone else will just come here and try. To be honest I don't think that you will stand much of a chance up against most of the assassins I know, so you might want to keep a low profile for awhile."
"Look, will you just send a text saying you quit and then we will protect you or you can help save us, either way you are safer here then you are on your own," what the hell made me say that, now everyone is looking at me like I am mad or something.
"Thank you. If the offer still stands I will stay with you."
"Of course it does my child you may stay. Donatello go prepare one of the spare rooms for her to sleep in. Now that text."
I watch her as she types in 'No it is not done, and I quit' I can see the worried look on her face so I grab her hand to reassure her, man she has really soft skin, I watch as she sends the messages. Just a few seconds later her phone beeps again. I read the text over her shoulder. 'You bitch, when I get my hands on you, you will wish you were dead.' I take the phone of her just as Donnie comes backs from preparing her room.
"Donnie, destroy this so that they can't trace it."
"Right."
"Raphael, will you please take Sophia up to the guest room."
"Sure. Um... Donnie which room did you set up?"
"The one that's two doors down from yours."
"Cheers Donnie. Come on follow me," I hold out my arm to her and she takes it with a smile, the first smile I have seen from her and it is the most beautiful thing I have seen. So I lead her down to her room, "do you have like any stuff you need to get from where ever you were staying?"
"Nah, don't travel with a lot, I just have another pair of jeans and another top so there's no point going to get them."
"Ok, well I will leave you to rest for the rest of the night."
"Thank you and tell your family thank you."
"K, will do," I walk out of the room but turn my head to see her taking of her weapons and undoing some zips on her jeans to turn them into shorts and taking of her top to reveal a red vest underneath. She glances my way and raises one of her eyebrows; I can feel myself starting to blush, so I bow to her and return to my brothers.
"So how is she, my son?" I look over to my master.
"She is resting and says thank you," that's all I say, before I go back to my room for some sleep after a long day.
