3In the kingdom mid-afternoon after Donnie and ralph "fun"
The king and two princes were still looking for his missing sons after nearly escaping the dark king himself, they decided to look in the bedrooms to find any evidence. When they got inside the shared room they were shocked (by the way mikey and leo share a room while ralph and Donnie share a room) they didn't often go in each other room but this was unbelievable
Inside there were two beds but it looked like only was used and I the corner was a desk with papers, journals and a torn up punching bag, at the other corner was clothes all over the floor, there was 2 cabinets one on each side finally there seem to be drawings all over the wall of them but what shocked them most was to see ropes randomly dangling in the ceiling at random spots
"wow" was all mikey could say to say it looked awesome was an understatement
"I think we start searching the cabinets" leo finally said in his leader voice after the shocked
"agreed my son we must find any evidence to where your brothers may be" and with that they went to search, after 5 minutes mikey finally found something valuable
"guys look at this" he basically screamed showing a drawing with Donnie and ralph sleeping in front of a cave splinter wondered where that cave was
"where is that my son" he took the drawing and on the back was writing he knows that is ralph writing
"it says I will always keep my promise to my Donnie-boy" he trailed off leo was the one who asked the obvious question
"what did those two promise that keeps coming up" he was starting to get generally curious about this topic
"dude why does it coming up in everything we do anyway" he was starting to get annoyed that he didn't know what the promise was about
"we find out soon my sons I think we need to know in order to find them" he needed to know what his son where hiding to keep them safe
"maybe we can ask April" mikey said as if she might be the only one who could possibly know
"we could can we go get her" they both ran out the room to look for April
5 minutes later they came in as if they have run a marathon with April smiling as if she was used to the exercise
"April may we ask you a few questions about my two sons and their personal life" the moment the king said those words April eyes wide and she ran as if he life depended on it
"I need to warn those two" was her first thought she was about to make it out the door when leo showed up in front of her and mikey behind her with guards surrounding her while she panted of tiredness thee king walked in front of her and asked
"we will have liked to ask you a few questions Ms. April, guards take her to my quarters". While the guards came closer she suddenly started kicking each on them and made it through all the guards before anyone said said "I didn't know she could do that "was the kings thought
"I must go your highness" she said with only one thought I her mind that she will help the two princes no matter what
April was about to leave until she heard Mikey voice sounding like he was about to cry
"p-please April tell us something" April stopped I her track and peered over her shoulder and slowly nodded, she shut the door and walked into a room with the king still somewhat in shock from what he saw and a half crying Mikey with a Leo demanding answers
"what do you want to know" of course she wasn't going to give full answers but hints so to speak, leo asked the first question
" what's the promise" he demanded he needed to know
"I can't answer that one, they need to explain that to you" she wasn't going to give out that much information but a little. The king decided to take the next question
"how much do you know about my son's personal lives" April couldn't help but smile as a memory came into her mind
Flashback
April was outside picking stuff in the garden when she heard rustling and looked over to see the two princes kissing. WAIT KISSING? She cleared her throat, they stopped with eyes wide and looked to see April
"what's going on" she couldn't help it her curiosity got the best of her, Donnie was the first to answer
"we are in …. a… r-relatio-onship" he couldn't help but shudder no one was supposed to find out, ralph talked next
"you aren't gonna to tell our dad right? "April shook her head but one question still remained in her head
"how long" she could see both with a blush on their cheeks ralph finally spoke up
"t-three m-months "he answered he whole bright red as his hair she smiled at the sight they seem to really care about each other April talked next
"let's make a deal ok you tell me about where you go and what you do okay" she only hopes they agree ralph spoke next
"what do we get out of it" he looked at Donnie and back at April to see her with a smirk
"well first I won't tell the king and I will cover for you and I want you to be happy" she replied with an honest smile she was a sucker for young love, Donnie finally decided to have a say in this conversation
"why" he whispered barely audible and looked up with big light brownish red curious eyes april couldn't help but smile at his face
"because I want see you happy and I want to see were you two go alright?" she took out her arm and both of them shook it from then they told April were they go to be alone just to be safe also how it al started and April was shocked with the story. when April wanted to learn a little fighting she was surprised they both learned to fought when they were young so thy taught her. they made a strong bond that would last a lifetime
flashbacks ends
now here's that bond in test they made a deal let's just see how long it will last…
"I know a lot of your son's personal lives "she said with a force smile she didn't like where the questions where going
"do you know what kind of relationship they have" that was definitely was definitely a surprise maybe he already figured it out of his taking random guessing
"yes I do" she replied with a seriousness, Mikey decided he was done being confused and asked a question
"do you know where they are like. Right. Now?" she could only think of one place that's close to the dark king's land for them to go. The cave. She nodded her head and looked up to see Mikey shocked face and leo face boring holes into her skull and the king's kind thoughtful face leo asked the next question
"why didn't you tell us "he growled he was slight shocked at his own behavior but she withheld valuable information about his brothers they were searching for
April looked away she might as well tell them a half-truth considering they are brothers she looked up and said" they told me not to tell you" at least that was the truth mikey being the youngest decided to ask the most obvious question
"why didn't they want us to know where they are" she in all honesty didn't know she just assumed they wanted to keep it a secret so they kept it well hidden. she shrugged. Finally, the king spoke again but this question was directed at April
"where did you learn to fight" she was surprised the king wanted to know at all she answered "your sons taught me "she whispers and she heard a dramatic gasp from Mikey
"wait Donnie knows how to fight and so did ralph" he sounded like he was winning to everyone but he couldn't help it he always wanted to learn to fight and his brothers learn without permission the king asked the next question getting straight back to business
"will you take us to them" april looked down she known she shouldn't she had to go first by herself
"I was going right now how about you come with after I visit them" she offered with a sad smile, she felt like she was betraying their trust, the king nodded and him and his son left her with more questions than the began
"I need to hurry to warm those" she thought while running out the door I would take a least a day, she started walking now unware that she was being followed
BACK AT THE CAVE AROUND NIGHT TIME
Both on and ralph were still in the bed wrapped around each other but ralph was slowly waking up, he smelled food he looks back down at Donnie and couldn't help but smile he slowly got out of his grip and clean the table and fell back asleep next to Donnie only to find him whimpering in his sleep like in fear
He frowned releasing he was having a nightmare "it must be what he went through" he growled to no one in particular hugging donnie tighter, all of a sudden donnie shot up with a scream
"AAAHHHHHHH" he was scared, what happen? Where I am? He soon saw ralph and quiet down to the point he was breathing steadily gripping onto ralph shoulder while sitting up
"shh its okay I am here" he tried his best to confer his brother despite being at his boiling point of his anger thinking what happen to his brother he gripped tighter when donnie starting talking
"i-it was awful" he couldn't help but shudder his nightmare was awful he was back at the hands of shredder getting raped again but then he remembered what him and ralph did and couldn't help but blush, of course ralph looking at his face and noticed
"what you blushing at brainiac" he smirked when Donnie looked away with a bigger blush man it could be so easy to mess with him
"of course ralph would be proud" he thought rolling his eyes with a big blush and smile "why do you think raphie" he asked he smiled shyly when he sent a grin in his way
"no reason" he ginned then he went all serious which isn't often so it must be serious " what were you dreaming about donnie" he asked with the most kindest voice ever. He noticed how Donnie seem to look away when he didn't want anyone to see what he could be thinking. So he did the only thing he could do –
When the question I couldn't help but look away but all of a sudden and hand made its way to his chin and moved his face and only saw ralph face and saw understanding and care in his piercing eyes . he couldn't help but break down at that view , he hugged him and cryed
To say he was surprised was a understatement Donnie didn't cry often unless it upset him very badly just when he was about to ask what it was about they heard twigs snap they both nodded got up and went to hide in the secret spot
But what they saw made them come out it was april looking out of breath she ran when she saw them and hugged them tightly saying ' thank goodness your okay"
"what are you doing here april " ralph asked when april did come it was always a emergency or something important
"your family is worried and getting suspicious of what you two are hiding" she said with all seriousness then Donnie asked the same question going on in ralph mind about this
"did you tell them where we are or anything" he couldn't risk his family knowing anything about them april shakes her head yes so he decided to ask the next question "what did you tell them
"come on lets sit so we talk" ralph said trying to get more info they went to the wooden table an sat down in the chairs april soon tells them everything that happen and there happy to hear that almost nothing was given but when it gets the part to where they are
"and I told them I will take them to you guys after I visit" she finished her story right after that and they both have one thing in their mind "was she followed " they both think when they hear more leaves from outside
"april go hide and say nothing" Donnie whisper and at first she's confused then she hears the leaves and nodes running to the hiding spot Donnie gets in a drawer while ralph hides under the bed they all look toward the entrance and what they see shocks them it the DARK KING walking in with his men and Donnie cant help but whimper and he remembers what happen to him
"I know I saw her come in here" the dark king thinks then says "are you in her little wore or are you hiding and hears a whimper and growl and smiles " why don't you come out so my men can have fun again
"oh great just when things where starting to get better" Donnie thinks with fear of what will happen if hes captured agaib
