'What does he mean?...' I looked into his deep chocolate brown eyes to try and find an answer.
"You know what it feels like to love someone. To have that connection. None of us will ever have that. You can have friendships and relationships. We can't" He was insulting himself? Why? We'll all find our special some ones one day.
"Actually, I don't agree with you. You're no different then me, Leonardo, or your other brothers. We're all special." I saw a flash of emotion cross his eyes.
"Thank you for thinking that." Our conversation was ended by the creaking sound of the bed behind me. I spun around on the balls of my feet and saw Leonardo sitting up in the bed. He was looking down at his right arm and became alarmed. He looked up and immediately calmed when he saw me. He looked over at Donnie and hung his head. Donnie only sighed and patted Leonardo on the shoulder. He looked up as bewilderment crossed his features.
"I only act rude when Raph's around. I forgive you Leonardo, but what you did is something I will never forget. Now get some rest. You're going to need it if you want your burns to heal."
Leo gave a small nod and laid back down. Donnie walked out of the room while saying, "Try and get some sleep."
I stood by the side of the bed and rested my hands on the mattress. 'God, this thing is hard...' Leonardo looked up and smiled. I smiled back and sat down on the side of the bed. 'I hope I didn't sit on him...' Leonardo laid his head back and closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again. He sighed.
"Why did it have to happen? Why me? How come I couldn't have been the one to suffer." He asked. I didn't have an answer. What was I supposed to say? 'I gotta be able to do something...'
"I was the best student. I would never. Would I?" He asked again. You already know what I did.
"What really happened. I want you to tell me. It's different if it comes from you."
Leonardo looked up and began explaining
(From Leo's POV)
The foot ninja continued to surround me and Master Splinter. My swords flashed around me like lightning in a storm. One of the ninjas held a sword to my throat. Another to the back of my head. Before I could see Raph...blackness. I woke up in a cell with no windows, no light, just a lone door and the surrounding darkness. The door opened and several foot ninja stepped in. They grabbed me roughly by my arms and dragged me to a room where they tortured, beat, and burned. It hurt, but I pulled through. Everyday I was pulled from my cell and tortured until nightfall. Then it changed. I woke up one morning...I wasn't in my cell. I was in a room filled with Japanese décor. I looked down. Blood...that's the only thing I saw. I didn't even see my hands underneath. My hands were trembling... I held a katana... I looked up and seen Master Splinter.
Then...the Shredder came for me. He told me how bad of a thing I was and how I killed my master. I know I did. I know I did it. The words rang in my head like a church bell. 'You killed him. You're a murderer.'
I couldn't take it anymore.
I was near the point of going mad in that cell. Everyday, the beatings continued. They placed Master Splinter's body in the cell with me. The Shredder said that it was to remind me of my betrayal. My brothers...I thought they would never come. When they came...Mikey slumped down on his knees and let go of his tears. Donnie stayed stronger but still cried. Raph...he was full of rage. He through his sai down and started yelling curse words of all source. Mikey managed to get over to Master Splinter and cry even more. I couldn't do anything. My brothers were crying...and I was the reason.
Mikey asked how...I couldn't keep it from them. Raph wouldn't even help me home. Donnie and Mikey managed to get me there. I still have my thoughts on how I managed to keep my sanity...
Donnie cleaned my wounds...
Mikey didn't believe that I would do something like that...
Raph...
We never talked. If we did, we fought.
I couldn't take it anymore.
I moved out and stayed with our friend April.
She let me come at night while I wandered through the sewers during the day trying to find a new home.
How did I stay alive? Even I don't know that.
Lets just hope I stay alive now.
Woah my fingers are hurting. I had softball practice tonight and I had to hit left handed. Stay beautiful! R&R!
