when they got back to the lair, charlotte insisted she had gone to the surface for some 'fresh air.' Whatever the reason, charlotte made it clear she wasn't saying anything. By clear, she punched mikey in the face after he asked her to many times. Shayla didn't know why her sister had become so distant. April noticed the same thing when the three of them had been training, so april had noticed anything different. "Yeah, It's like she's holding back a lot of pain. and has become anti-social to the rest of us. Should we ask her what's wrong?" "No, if you ask her she definitely won't tell you." "You're starting to sound like splinter." "I guess so. Maybe she killed someone?" shayla said, half joking. Master splinter had been meditating in his room for the past few hours. He had had a vision that had explained charlotte's hostility in the last few weeks. he opened the door and charlotte was hitting the punching bag again. The spark in her that loved to fight was gone. It had been replaced by an inferno ten times as dangerous. Hate. "No one understands." she said with each punch. "And if I try to tell them, they'll think i'm weak." she kept repeating this to herself. she didn't notice master splinter there until he called out to her. Startled, she turned around and tried to harden and pretended nothing had happened. "Charlotte, gather your brothers and sisters for training." "Hai, sensei." she bowed. "And charlotte?" said master splinter. she turned around. "There is a time for fighting and a time for thought." charlotte paused, then left. "He couldn't know, could he?" she thought. A few minutes later, everyone had gathered in the dojo. "We will be practicing with our weapons, first against each other, then against me." said master splinter. "Raphael, you will fight michelangelo. Shayla with donatello, and charlotte with leonardo. Charlotte let her claws slowly slide out along with her gauntlets. "This," she thought. "Will be a VERY good fight." ". Charlotte and leonardo you will fight first " said. Splinter " hejibeck" Charlotte charged At Leo then leo Started charging at her then leo swung his katana at her. charlotte dodged the swing then she swung her gauntlet at leo as shayla was watching. this she knew it wasn't charlotte fighting but it was her anger. splinter saw this as well so the fight raged on leo was getting tired but charlotte was just getting started. but then leo did something unexpected he jumped and did an invisible flying dragon kick which caused Charlotte to fall back but that just ticked her off even more so she quickly jumped up and kicked leo in the back of his shell then before he could fall she kicked him in the stomach then he fell on his shell then charlotte jumped on him then she started punching him repeatedly then before she could kick him once again she felt three pairs of arms trying to pull her off the saw Raph pull leo from under her then when she saw leos bruises form right in front of her she calmed down realizing what she did then she said " I...I... I didn't mean to do that to him I need some air ". " wait charlotte " said shayla " sensei may I be excused from training to go and see what bothering charlotte " shayla asked " yes you may " said splinter seeing pure concern in shaylas eyes " thank you sensei " shayla said then bowed and ran to go find charlotte. She turned around and saw charlotte in front of fishface and dogpound, ready to take them on herself. Her eyes seemed to have a reddish tint from crying. "You know this is a battle you can't win." said dogpound. "So why don't you run on home, kitty?" sneered fishface. "If master Shredder didn't want you back alive, I would skin you and your sister and hang your pelts on my wall." "Enough talk." growled charlotte, with her ears back. "Let's get this over with," Shayla couldn't see how charlotte didn't see how bad the situation was. If one of them was captured, shredder would most likely interrogate them to find the location of the lair and splinter. As she was thinking this, charlotte had started to fight fishface and dogpound.
Suddenly, charlotte threw down a smoke bomb and appeared next to shayla. "What are you doing?" shayla hissed through her teeth. Charlotte said she would explain when they got to a safer place. They got to the top of a building where bradford and xever couldn't detect them. "What has been wrong with you these past couple of weeks?!" shayla blurted out. "You've ignored everyone and become anti-social. And when you beat Leo to a pulp, everyone knew something was have you shunned your family, The ones you can trust most?!" She stopped for a second to catch her breath. She looked at charlotte again and they looked... not blank exactly, but certainly less intelligent. "Charlotte?" asked shayla. All she got was a low growl.
