Chapter four

When Gabby woke up the first thing she tasted and smelled was blood. She panicked and tried to sit up. Something yanked her back down. This jeered her jaw against the cement of the floor. She was afraid and hurt. Gabby whimpered. She pricked her ears at the sound of footsteps. She looked up. "Raph!" She cried happily. "W-why am I chained? Why am I covered in blood?" she asked. His face was both relieved and anxious. He turned and walked away. "Raph? Raph!" Gabby called out. He paid no mind to her.

Several minutes later all the turtles and master Splinter walked in. Gabby's eyes watered. "P-please tell me why I'm chained and am covered in blood." Raph's and Donnie's faces were relieved, Mikey's was a bit frightened, Splinter's was unreadable and Leo's was harsh and unforgiving. This unnerved Gabby.

"Guys? What happened!" she screamed. Splinter stepped forward. Leo visibly tensed. Gabby winced at this. She thought he was her friend, now he was treating her like a monster. Splinter knelt down beside her.

"You truly do not remember the events of last night, or the actions you took?" he questioned. Gabby looked at him, confused.

"Well I remember leaving for patrol, starting a fight with the purple dragons, and then while I was fighting their Doberman my vision was engulfed by green light. I didn't feel anything until a sharp pain in the back of my head and blackness. The next thing I remember is waking up here. Chained and covered in blood." She said.

"Michelangelo bring me the key." Splinter ordered.

"But Sensei we can't! Its to big a-" Splinter held up his hand to stop Leo.

In a sterner tone he repeated. "The key." Once Mikey brought back the key they undid the locks and explained what happened. Gabby looked at her paws ashamed.

Mikey stood up and raced out of the dojo, calling over his shoulder "I'm making Pizza!" the others sighed. Splinter went to his room.

"Well better go make sure he doesn't make something as revolting as last time." Raph huffed and went towards the kitchen. Leo retained his cold composure and went to go watch Space heroes.

"I'll help you get cleaned up." Donnie said. Gabby nodded. After lunch she headed over to the room that the turtles had given her and laid down on the bed. Before she closed her eyes she heard Raph and Leo fighting.

"SHES A DANGER TO US ALL RAPH! WE CAN'T LET HER STAY HERE!"

"YEAH WELL YOU'RE WRONG, MISTER FEARLESS LEADER! SHE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T MEAN IT!"

"I DON'T CARE! I WON'T LET MY BROTHERS GET HURT BECAUSE I LET SOMEONE AS DANGEROUS AS HER STAY HERE!"

"ENOUGH!" Splinter's voice reached Gabby's ears. "You will stop this at once! Both of you. Leonardo it is not you're decision on who we let stay here. It is mine. And Gabby may stay here as long as she wishes. Need I remind you this is our own fault that this happened too her?" Gabby jumped down from the bed and walked out the door. The others stared at her.

"I'm so sorry for what happened. I really didn't mean it!" she cried. Raph shot daggers at his brother. Leo's eyes lost all their coldness and a look of guilt replaced it.

"No Gabby, I'm sorry." Leo said. He bent down by her and hugged her in apology. "Do you forgive me?" he asked. Pulling away after a short time.

Gabby nodded slowly. "I-its fine. You just got angry, it happens." She said. Leo smiled at her.

"Hey Gabby I could use a bit of help if you don't mind!" Donnie called.

"Coming Donnie! Man he's so needy sometimes." She joked heading into the lab.

Raph sat on the couch and sighed heavily. "Hey Raph?" Leo said.

"Yeah?" he answered,. He was still a bit angry at Leo.

"Well I wanted to say sorry for yelling at you."

"Apology accepted. Sorry for getting so worked up."

"Your's too. And yeah, you were a bit more sensitive when the subject moved to not letting Gabby stay in the Lair anymore." He added.

"Whats it to ya? Shes a friend. And I didn't want her kicked out because you were being a mother hen." He scoffed. His eyes moved to the closed Lab door. Watching it intently. Donnie and Gabby came out coughing.

"See I told you it didn't go there!*cough* I may*cough* not be as smart as y*cough* you but I still know some basic stuff." Gabby hacked. Donnie nodded his head, wheezing on the smoke.

"Yeah, sorry, won't*cough* happen again*cough*." He chuckled.

Raph's face grew a bit hot and he turned his head back to the TV, but seeing it was Space heroes he got up and headed to the dojo to practice on the dummies.

Sorry this ones short guys. Well see ya in the next chapter. Please review, I like to hear your guy's thoughts on my writing.
