Onward!
It had been about fifteen minutes of sitting in the room with Chester and Raph felt his anger boiling. He would glance over his comic and glare at him every other second. Chester's eyes continued to dart around. He definitely felt uncomfortable here. The turtle with the red bandanna, Raph was his name, kept glaring at him. Chester swallowed what little saliva was in his mouth and looked over at April who was chattering away with Mikey and pointing at something on a computer screen. Mikey laughed as he chattered along. Chester continued to hear steel cling against another piece of steel. He looked down in boredom until he heard a growl. Chester looked to his left and watched Raph stand up and glare daggers at him.
"What's wrong with you?!" Raph suddenly barked. Raph's eyes were boiling green. April and Mikey stopped talking and looked up to see what the commotion was. Raph snarled and stepped towards Chester. He picked Chester up by the front of his shirt and balled his fists.
"You disgust me..." He muttered. Chester's eyes were wide as he stared straight into Raph's angry eyes.
"No response, huh?" Raph lifted Chester higher into the air before throwing him onto the couch.
"Coward." Raph snapped.
"How can you do things like that?" Chester looked at the ground. Raph growled.
"Cut your friggin' wrists like you're a cow brought into the slaughter house!" Raph shouted getting close to Chester's face.
"Raph!" April yelled at Raph standing up.
"And take freakin' pills that aren't even prescribed to you!" Raph shouted, his voice getting louder. He picked up Chester again.
"Answer me!"
"Raph! STOP!" April shouted at Raph, drawing more attention to them. Mikey stared at Chester as he looked at him as if begging for help. But Mikey knew he couldn't stand up to Raph. He couldn't even beat him in sparring. As April and Raph continued to argue, Chester's looked around before mouthing the word 'please'. Mikey raised his eye ridges for a second before looking down at the ground. Raph ignored April and turned back to Chester.
"What was with the gun?" Raph said in a low voice. April's eyes went wide.
"Gun?...What gun?" She asked slowly. Raph turned his head to her, a smirk on his face.
"Yeah that's right, I said gun. 50 caliber." He turned back to Chester and smiled like you would as if you were trying to ask a four year old why he took a cookie out of the cookie jar.
"So where'd you get it?" Raph asked Chester. But he remained quiet. Just stared straight at Raph. No emotion was in his eyes anymore.
"Raph...Maybe I should explain something to you." April started. Raph shook Chester by the front of his shirt.
"I asked where did you get it?" The smile from Raph's face disappeared and a dissatisfied scowl came in its place.
"Raph he doesn't talk." April finished. Raph's eyes lost the sharpness in them before he looked over to April.
"What?"
"You heard me, he won't talk." She said again. Raph looked at the boy he held in the air and growled again.
"It still doesn't explain anything!" He said. Chester watched the two as they bickered back and forth. He frowned as he watched the two of them. This was one of those times when he just wanted to run away. Just...run away and forget. To make that sadness go away.
"Chester?" Chester turned his head and saw Mikey sitting about three feet or so away from him. He waved.
"I hate it when everybody argues." Mikey said listening to April and Raph.
"Why are you such a jerk?"
"I'm not! I don't understand why humans are such idiots!"
"Excuse me, but I am not an idiot!" Chester listened along with Mikey and turned to face him again. Mikey jabbed his thumb at them.
"It's like this everyday. Or atleast every other day." He mumbled. Chester lips formed a thin line as Mikey continued to have a one sided conversation.
"I just want everybody to be happy." Mikey looked down and closed his eyes.
"I usually don't care as much, since I'm a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. But since I met you-" Chester continued to listen in interest. "I don't know your past or anything about you, but somehow, what you did, makes sense. It seems reasonable."
Chester raised an eyebrow, though Mikey couldn't see it because of the long bangs that covered his eyes. Mikey nodded as if he could though.
"I wonder what would happen if I casually walked down the street in daylight. People would scream and call me a monster and a freak, right?" Chester nodded, fascinated by what this young mutant had to say.
"But I realize that only some can see past that." Mikey looked up at April who was still arguing with Raph.
"Only some can see me." Mikey smiled and put a hand on Chester's shoulder.
"Only some can understand you."
"YAME!" Splinter stood in front of the dojo with Leo at his side. Donnie peaked out of the lab.
"Please explain the meaning of this!" Chester stared at Splinter with wide eyes and looked over at Mikey for an explanation. Mikey simply laughed and stood up.
"That's Master Splinter. Our sensei. He taught us everything we know." He said with a satisfied grin. Raph sighed and looked over at April with a glare before pointing at Chester.
"Master Splinter it's just that he-"
"Raphael! Fifty laps!" Splinter pointed to the dojo. Raph sighed and walked to the dojo.
"April?..." Splinter started. April held up her hands.
"What? I was just defending him!" She gestured to Chester. Splinter let out his breath.
"I will let out this time, April, but this is the last." He said. "I see our guest is awake?"
"Yes Master Splinter" April and Mikey said at the same time. Chester waved.
"What is your name, young one?" Splinter asked with a kind smile.
"His name is Chester." April said. Splinter looked over at her, a hard look in his eyes.
"Can he not answer for himself?" April bit her lip and looked back at Chester.
"He doesn't talk." She mumbled. Splinter furrowed his eyebrows before he turned and headed for the dojo. Chester watched him enter the dojo, and didn't miss the sharp glare he sent over his shoulder straight at him. Leo walked toward them.
"Hey guys!" Leo said jumping into the circle and taking a seat next to Chester. Leo looked over at Chester and smiled.
"So your name's Chester? I'm Leonardo." Chester gave a small wave but said nothing else. For some reason, he felt like he didn't belong.
He needed to stop listening to the voice inside of him.
Did you like it? Leave a comment or even advice for what I should do. I have it pretty planned out though, but if your idea is good enough I might find room for it.
R&R!
