When I awoke red was at the chair sleeping. Looking around I stood up and saw my clothes were still on me.
Going to the door I saw that it wasn't locked were they testing me or something I had no idea, so I opened it and looked at the place but a pair of shoji doors made me go and see what was there.
When I opened them, I saw a very large tree there but a bunch of pictures caught my eyes. Walking to them my eyes widen there was me and Midnight there with the three other turtles and a rat.
At that moment all of my memories came back to me. The man I couldn't see was that rat and he was my true father, those turtles were my brothers the blue one was the oldest, then there was the red one, the purple one was after him and then the orange one but I was a year older than them.
"I see that the picture caught your eyes" said a voice that I heard before "Come here" he said most of the time in my dreams.
Turning around I saw a dark brown furred with white rat with a brown/red kimono with a jade staff in his right hand.
Looking back instead at the picture I felt like I was being watched "Your brothers are still sleeping so you may speak freely" he said and I nodded.
"The last thing I could remember was a bunch of ninjas in black taking me and my brother to meet a man in a suit of armor. He took us in as his own giving us the names Scarlet and Midnight. We trained and did many things but when I saw those tur... I mean my 'brothers' for the first time during the Pennsylvania war memories flooded my dreams about my past" I said.
He nodded as he rubbed his hairy beard "Seeing this picture made my memories clear to me but I feel out of place. I've done many things and committed many sins and crimes and yet they want me back" I said looking at him.
"Not they WE want you back" he corrected me as he walked up to me "For ten years we wanted you and your brother to come back to us and now we have one of you for now that will be enough" he said placing a paw on my shoulder.
For some reason one part of me wanted to take hold of him and let out anything but the other part of me wanted to grab my hidden knife to then run away from this place.
But my memories came flooding back making my head spin and a pain in my skull to make me feel like it was going to brake.
Falling to my knees from the pain I let the darkness take over once again so I could sleep a little more since I thought I needed it.
"You think it has something to do with her injuries?" asked Leo placing her on the cot.
"Maybe I mean the Shredder raised her and could have done those to her as a punishment for failing him in something and decided to put something in them" said Donnie while taking some tools from a nearby table.
"So, what we tie our sister up like a monster and let her die or something?" said Raph sarcastically.
"No, I mean first I will take a look at her blood and those injuries and when she wakes up, I will ask her about what I find" explained Donnie as he took a sample of her blood.
As I see darkness around me, I feel waves of emotions coming to me. As I follow it, I find Midnight when we were little crying.
I remembered that day it was when he disappointed father and was given his very first punishment and he told me how he was scared that day. We made a promised to never leave one another no matter what.
"You think you can just leave Scarlet" said the Shredder "You are to become next in line as the Shredder you cannot leave"
"Go away I was never even your daughter in the first place you just messed with mine and my brothers minds to obey you like puppets!" I yelled at him I just wanted to wake up.
"And then what you think that your old family will take you both back?" he asked and disappeared to let me see my true family.
But as I run to them, they look at me like they hated me "Leave us!" yelled Leo.
"You killed innocent people!" yelled Raph.
"Just die and leave us alone were better off without you two!" yelled Donnie.
"I am very disappointed in you both" said father.
"No no NO! DON'T LEAVE US!" I yelled as they walked away "PLEASE! I'm sorry I'm sorry" I repeated over and over as water came out of my eyes what is that?
"Oh? So, your crying over that?" he asked I was crying? "I am much disappointed in you! We do not let tears come out from this!" he said raising on of his gloves with their blades out ready to end me.
"NOOOOO!" I yelled sitting up in bed as 'tears' falls on to my bed sheets and hands as they gripped the sheets.
As I look around, I see that it was just a dream and that I was sweating? I've never sweated before this is starting to make me do so many odd things.
"Jas are you ok?" asked Raph as he opens my door making me jump as the tears came out of me like a river.
"I... I... i" I couldn't answer him it was too hard for me right now. But he sat on the bed rubbing my back trying to help me. Again, never happened before.
"Had a nightmare" he said it wasn't a question he just knew that this was what made me yell. So, nodding to him I tried the best way I could to tell him about it. He nodded at times as I talked to him letting me know that he was listening to me.
"Why are you even doing this I mean I've committed so many sins and you guys just brought me here to bring back Jasmine but I feel like Scarlet is just blocking the way for that to happen" I declared.
"How about we talk outside of your room it must be making you crazy by now right?" he suggested making me stand up and walk out.
He brought me to the couch and left to the dojo and came back with a few books "These are our photo albums that master Splinter made" he said giving me one of them. As I open it, I see pictures of four turtle tots and a baby girl "Back then father said that when you were born, he and his wife saw that you had something special inside of you. When he could only save you, he felt like there was a reason for that" he explained as I turned to look at each picture.
"When you were three and we were two you were holding fathers staff and you accidently hit Don with it which made the gap in his mouth then you never got near father or Don because you were scared you might do something like that again, Don had to grab a book of his and smack you behind the head to make you even with him and when you were five and we were four Mikey dared you to do a triple back flip backwards, but because you were scared because you had to do it from higher grounds I did it instead and that made the scar on my plastron" he said pointing to the picture of back then.
"When it happened, you refused to stay away from me and help me with everything no matter what it was. Well except for in the bathroom" he said.
But then me and Mid weren't there anymore it was just them and as I turn the pages, I then see a girl with orange hair holding a tenssen and then a boy with nearly no teeth with a hockey mask on his head.
"Those are friends we made when we started to go topside" he said to me "They asked about you and Mikey when they saw our last group photo" he said.
"Was it hard for you to tell them we were dead?" I asked and he only nodded.
"The Shredder never had photos with us only with Karai and that wasn't often it was a rare thing for us to see" I said "Do... do you think I could maybe stay with you for the night?" I ask him.
He walked me to his room and into his bed he told me that Donnie would have a surprise for me tomorrow.
When I woke up Raph was still sleeping and since I wanted to look at those pictures more I decided to get up, walk to the coffee table and went into the kitchen to look at them.
As I looked at a younger me maybe five who was reading a flash of light on my right made jump scream and fall from the high chair.
As I looked up, I see sensei with an old camera in his hands with a picture "I believed it was time to take a picture of you" he said holding out the picture.
On it was me wearing my foot clan outfit without its items, my long dark brown hair was untied and in need of being cleaned but something caught me eyes.
The scar on my right cheek wasn't there! Looking at both my leg and my arm I saw the same thing no scars.
The more I look at the picture I turn to myself and see how much I had changed since they brought me here just a few days ago.
"What's going on? Did something happen?" asked Leo as he and Raph run into the kitchen.
"Everything is fine my sons" said Splinter "I saw her in the kitchen looking at some albums and I decided it was time to add some new pictures" he said pointing to the one in my hand.
"Oh yeah I showed them to her last night since she had a nightmare" explained Raph "I hope you didn't tell her any embarrassing stories" said Leo "You mean like when we were all four and you decided to dress up like that Ryan guy only to end up playing tea party with Jas while wearing a tutu" told Raph making Leo turn red.
Another flash came and when I turned Father spoke "A picture of you laughing" was that what I just did laugh?
"No April... wait! She's in the kitchen... WAIT APRIL!" yelled Donnie. At that moment a red-haired girl came up to me and squeezed my cheeks together.
"Shoes thish?" (Who's this?) I asked.
"Jasmine this is April O'Neil a friend. April this is our sister Jas" introduced Leo.
As I looked at her, I noticed that she looks exactly like Midnight but the I realised that she was hurting me.
"She wis hurtwing my pheeks" (She is hurting my cheeks) I said.
"April you're hurting her" said Donnie making her let go of me "Sorry when Donnie called me asking for some of my clothes, I got curious and when he told me that you found your sister I got here as fast as I could" she explained.
"Well miss O'Neil Jasmine will need more clothes so if you could be so kind" started father "Oh! Of course, Jasmine why don't we clean you up, you get changed and then we go to the surface so we can buy you some new clothes?" she proposed.
I nodded and letting go of the picture in my hand we walked together to the bathroom so I can get cleaned.
The water felt nice on my skin as she washed my hair and got it nice and smooth telling me we would go to a hair salon to get it cut. I putted on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans with a red tank top and my usual black high heel boots.
As we walked out of the room the guys told me to stay close to April and to listen to her at all times. With that we walked in the sewers from what I could see until we came across a manhole and got into an alley.
We walked around for a while until we came to a store that was full of different things, when we walked in, she went to look for the clothes section and looked at everything even the shoes and accessories. When she came back it was with a pile of clothes with a bunch of things to go together.
After trying them all in her selection of styles we bought so much that we each had two bags in each hand. She made me stop at an electronic store to buy me a cell phone. She said that if I was out here it would be best to have normal items.
We kept going to other clothes stores, shoe stores, accessories and make-up stores and it was amazing that I wanted to see so much more of this city, we then went to a hair salon to take care of my long brown hair. We decided to cut it to my shoulders and we added some blond wicks to it since she thought it would look cute, April said that it was getting late and that we should go back and so we did.
Once back she said her goodbyes and left leaving me with all of the bags, we had gain from all of this, she even got me a red laptop with the phone! As I entered the lair Raph was the first to go to me and help with my things saying how much that was of bags.
As we putted them away to be taken care of later on, he said it was time to eat so we then went together to the kitchen to eat. We talked a little but father spoke "I believe it is time for you to go on your patrols" he said to us.
"But sensei Jas has yet to fully adjust here how can we leave her?" asked Donnie "You won't since she will come with you on the patrols starting tomorrow night" he declared and left for his room.
As we look at one another it made me worry. I was trained in multiple weapons but they use only one each so how will I...
"Jasmine please come to the dojo" said father from the door to the dojo. As I enter, I see him holding a sort of long brown wrap that held something that was very long inside and it was sealed with red strings and a clan symbol.
"I wished to give it to you as your weapon when you were older however" he stopped as he gave it to me so I could open it and see the weapon that was chosen for me.
It was a naginata but at the same time it wasn't. It had a spade like blade on each end but one was black the other was white almost like "It is called the 'Ying Yang spear' in the Hamato clan and it was to be given to a pure hearted lady" he said as I held the weapon in my hands.
"There is also a special thing to it" he said making me turn to him "It is also like Raphael's weapon but it stays connected to one another like" he started "Ying and Yang they can never be a part of the other for they are the light and the dark" I ended for him making him nod to me.
"But father is you sure it is for me?" I ask not caring that I called him father for the very first time "I am sure I can see it in your eyes that you have the skills but we will practice" he said.
And with that he left for his room, my brothers came in later on to see why I was called and saw my new weapon they were happy for me while saying they took care of my new things and putted them away in my room while I was with father.
As I went to eat the rest of our meal Donnie told me that April called and said she was going to bring Casey tomorrow so we could meet.
This made me smile for the first time and they took a picture of it and I actually felt like everything was going to turn out great but then something slipped out of my mouth "Raphie doesn't like his veggie's?" I taunt him seeing as he was picking at them.
This made them all stop, I thought that I had done something wrong just then but I saw them crying? Now I knew that I did something wrong "You just called him Raphie" said Leo "You always called me that back when we were little!" said Raph as he went to hug me followed by the others.
We stayed like that for a while until I felt tired. They decided to clear the table and take me to bed since I was falling asleep.
"Goodnight dear sister" said Leo as he kissed my forehead Raph followed soon after "Sleep tight" Donnie came to do the same "Will wake you up in the morning" he said.
"Good... night" I said as my eyes closed making me have a wonderful dream for the very first time.
