Chapter 5: Blood
1998 - New-York City – A rooftop at the docks
Kathya was sitting on the rooftop looking in the distance. She was balancing her feet in the air trying to clear her mind. I just can't believe it. I don't believe it. They leave, I need to keep the lair and they don't pay attention to anything that happen to me. Crud what is wrong with them? Don't they see that I was mad? That me too I'm worrying about Sensei?
Standing up she was about to leave when a shuriken scratched her right hip.
1998 – New-York City's sewers – The lair - earlier
Raph was practicing on his dummy, well practicing wasn't the word he was more trying to blow off some steam. Screaming more and more when he saw that none of his brothers weren't paying attention to him, not even April, who was there trying to help them figure out a plan and to find out where was Master Splinter, sent him a glance. He let out a big scream in rage by making his dummy turn on itself. Everyone turned around and looked at him.
-You're OK Raph? Asked Leo
-How can you sit around Ta'king when he's out there som'where? Maybe hurt… Bad. replied Raph, angrier than never.
Kathya at the sound had took a sigh at the scene that was happening "downstairs".
-Like I said, we have to organize the search, look at everything we know.
-But we don't know ANYTHING.
-Well, started Mikey, we know that when we were fighting the Shredder, Master Splinter took a major hit… for me.
-And when we look for him after the fight he just wasn't there. Added Don
Kathya clenched her fist and silently jump on the lower pipe to have a better look at the map and also to have a better view of everything.
-I've been scanning the police's data for a giant rat but … nothing. Sighed April
-So we should be out there looking for him. Said Raph still angry.
-We have been Raph, but Master Splinter could be anywhere, said Leo while catching up on Raph, How do you search an entire city?
-One block at a time, simply said Raph.
Kathya couldn't stand it anymore jumping in the middle of them all, she walked to Raph and without a word put a hand on his shoulder.
-No, said Raph.
-But … at least, let me help you. I haven't been out in weeks since Sensei disappear.
-I SAID NO.
And on this Raph walks out of the room, leaving an angry sister and his thoughtful brothers behind.
-Why don't you tell him to at least let me help? She asked Leo who was back with Mikey and April to look at what they could do.
-Look Kamy, if Raph want to be alone I'm not the one who will impose him to take you with him.
-I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT!
-Kathya dear, you don't need to be angry you know your brothers better than anyone, and…, April saw the glance she was giving her, you know what I mean, I mean that maybe just maybe this time Raph needs to be in his world and he needs to go topside.
Kathya was slamming the air with her tail, her fist clenched so hard that below the fur her knuckles were white. She hissed like a cat and jumped on the pipes and disappeared in her bedroom.
-Well at least she took it well this time, said Don.
They all looked at each other, agreeing silently that their judgment was the best for her.
1998 – New-York City - the lair – later
Don entered the dojo looking puzzled. Spotting Leo who was meditating he walked right to him so they could talk.
-Humm… Leo? May I speak to you for a second?
Leo opened an eye and turned to face his purple banded brother opening his other eye.
-Yes what is it Don?
Scratching his head Don looked around the dojo and brought back his glance on his older brother.
-Well, I was wondering if you have seen Kathy tonight. I was looking for her in her room, and she's not there, I looked in every room… she's missing. And I'm pretty sure that none of us seen her going out.
-Did you add the GPS on her necklace? Asked Leo.
-Of course I did, and that's the first thing I checked after looking everywhere, her necklace is in her room.
Leonardo was chocked. What the… she never take it off… she loves that necklace more than anything… why would she take it off? Jumping on his feet, Leo ran to the ladder they had build on the wall next to her room, she was never using it, she preferred to jump, they were the one climbing it if they needed to talk to her without yelling or for looking on her in the day while she was asleep. Once he was in her room he looked everywhere, under the bed, behind the drawer, behind the door and even behind her mirror. No hole, no entrances, not even something he could think suspicious that could bring her outside the lair without being noticed. Leo stormed out the room jumping down he landed near a confuse Donatello.
-Did you install the camera? asked a worried Leo.
-Of course I did.
-Let's check it out.
Both of them walked to the lab of Don, where he was keeping an eye on the security system. After a few minutes of rewinding the tapes, Donatello and Leonardo were looking at all the recordings that were surrounding the lair. None of them were showing their sister leaving.
-Hey guys what are you doing? Asked Mikey.
-Did you see Kat? Asked Leo worried.
Mikey was confused. They haven't heard her saying she was going out? Right when April left she walked out the lair and said to not look for her.
-Yeah I did see her, two hours ago when April left, she left too. She said to not search for her that she'll be in the sewers. Why?
-We don't have any recording of that, where is she, she took off her bell.
-Well I do remember she said to not look for her that she'd took off her bell to not be bothered. Said Mikey turning around and leaving his brother.
-But… she never take it off. Whispered Don.
-THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK DON. Screamed Mikey from the couch. SHE TAKE IT OFF QUITE OFTEN WHEN SHE LEAVES THE LAIR, DON'T ASK WHY… I JUST KNOW THAT SHE DON'T LIKE TO BE WATCHED ALL THE TIME. So neither do Raph.
Thinking about the turtle you see it shell. Raphael came back in the lair, calmer, he walked past Leo and Don and sat down next his younger brother. After a minute or two, feeling the uncomfortable silence he looked up at his brother and asked: "What's goin' on?"
-Tytysth's not here.
Raph glare at his brother waiting for him to laugh, but it didn't happened. Standing up he walked to the ladder when the door of the lair opened another time.
-WHERE WERE YOU? Jumped Leo.
Wincing at the tone Kathya walked past him, not answering. She walked straight to the bathroom and shut the door closed.
Leo followed her and tried to open the door. It was locked.
-KATHY OPEN THE DOOR NOW.
No answer but a hiss of pain could be faintly hear. Leo, pumped, didn't heard it.
-KATHYA OPEN THE DOOR.
In the bathroom Kathya started the water and after a minute she walked under the water feeling the hot liquid flooding on her body. Opening her eyes she looked at the blood that was washed away by the water, she put her head on the wall waiting that her body would be clean from the blood. After three minute like this she picked up the soap and with caution she washed herself. The red mousse was flooded away. She closed the water and stepped out the shower. She picked up her black towel, the one that she teased her brothers for one like this, and wrapped it around her body she unlocked the door and walked out. Leo was watching her, anger in his eyes.
-Where were you? Why didn't you tell us you were leaving? What did you do? Asked Leo trying to not sound worried.
-Shut up bro, answered his sister, I was in the sewer, I told you I was leaving, you didn't pay attention, not my problem, and what I did have nothing to do with you. Sitting next to Mikey she was looking tired and exhausted.
Her youngest brother started to wrap his arm around her shoulder when her eyes snapped out and she jumped out of reach.
-No, no I… no comfort tonight bro I'll… I'll go to sleep.
Going back in the bathroom and taking some painkilling pills she walked to the ladder and climbed it.
None of her brother said a word but Leo and Don were relieved that she was back.
That was strange, she never refuses a hug from Mikey, ladder? Till when she does not jump? She loves to show up that she's betta than us for that? And what happened to her leg, she's wincin' at every step. Oh crud betta get a showa too.
Getting up Raph walked to the bathroom and took a towel from the shelf he was about to start the water when he stopped dead in his movement. Soap?Bloody?Blood… everywhere, What the shell? Dropping his towel on the floor Raph ran in the living room and jumped to the second floor, jumped on the pipe that was right in the middle of the room he ran a little more and jumped on the wall and with the speed grabbed the pipe that lead to her room. The door was closed. Banging on it Raph started to panic.
-KAMY OPEN THE DOOR NOW!
-I'm sleeping leave me alone. Responded her voice, tired.
-KATHYA OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!
-RAPH WHAT IS GOING ON? Asked Leo.
-DIDN'T YOU SEE IT? SHE USED THE LADDER.
-AND SO, RAPH? SHE WAS TOO TIRED TO JUMP. JUST LET HER SLEEP.
-Kamy open the door, please.
With a sigh the young cat stood up, walk up to the door and opened it. She turned her back to her brother and climbed back in her bed. Raph look at her and noticed the big red crossed mark in her back as well as the red cut on her right hip. At every move she was making a face. Raph entered the room and sat on the bed.
-What happened? He whispered.
-Nothing you should worry about.
-Kam, he growled
-Look bro I'm really tired… and… exhausted, if you haven't noticed yet. So can you just let me sleep.
-Not until I get my answer, and if I need to make you spill it out, I will.
Smiling slightly she opened her eyes.
-Tomorrow, the moment I get up I'll tell you. She said with a kiss on his cheek
Raph look at his sister and with a sigh agreed to her request.
-Fine tomorrow. And I want all the details of your little "fall".
Chuckling Amethyst closed her eyes and fall asleep. Raph stood up, looked one more time at his sister and left the room. He jumped "downstairs" and disappears in the bathroom, making sure that none of his bros will find out the blood of their sister.
1998- New-York city- "Tomorrow"
Kathya-Amethyst hasn't got up of the whole day. She slept through it, Raph climbed up every half-hour making sure she was still there sleeping. He caught her up once talking in her sleep, but he kept it for himself what she said.
1994 – New-York city- the old lair
The boys were in the sewer playing with the new toy Donatello had invented and Kathya was reading the book her father had gave her. She had started to learn the way of medicine trough plants, and she was taught how to prepare mixture for curing and how to prepare poison and their antidotes. Suddenly she stopped. Reading again the name of the plant and its properties, she frowned.
The young cat stood up from her bed and walked through the lair to her dad's room. Knocking on the frail door she waited for an answer.
-Come in my daughter.
Kathya opened the door and stepped in the candle lightened room.
-What can I do for you my child? Ask her father.
-Well… I kinda block on one of the plants in the book and was wondering if I could borrow one of yours to learn more about it and also to have a picture of it so I could remember what it looks like?
-Sure my child, go ahead and don't be shy to borrow any books you need for your knowledge.
-Thanks Sensei, answered the young girl bowing. She walked to the bookshelf and started to read the titles of the books until the one she was sure that could help her caught her eyes. She was about to turn around and leave when another book caught her glance. Your Chi, How to control it taking the book of the shelf she started to read the back of the book.
You always wondered how to control your chi? You are wondering how to reenergize your body without using anything? You want to be able to deal with the pain in your body without using pills?
You choose well, this book will teach you the art of acupuncture and of the pressure points also known as Chi Ji, you'll be able to deal with pain, anger, energy and also your life.
Master Yen Aki is one of the most famous acupuncture therapists in Tokyo. He studied…
Looking in the shelf to see if there was any other book on this subject Kathya looked through every title but it was the only one.
-Father can I take those books?
Opening one eye her father looked at the two books and smiled.
-Of course and you can keep them as long as you need them.
-Thanks Sensei.
She walked out of the room and returned in her. Once there, she climbed on her bed and started to read the book on the Chi.
1998 –New York city- the lair
Waking up around midnight Kat walked out of her room. She climbed down the ladder and started to look for Raph. After fifteen minutes searching she knew they were out. Looking again for Master Splinter. She walked in the kitchen preparing something to eat. Once this was done she went in the lab of Don and took all her plans and blueprints and walked out of the lair. Making sure none of the camera was filming her she started to walk in the darkest pipes and going deeper in the tunnel she was there.
The big room was dark but she didn't mind. She put down all the scroll of paper and started to walk to a table with a strange bracelet on it. Reading the paper in front of her she returned back to the other table search through all the scrolls and picked up the one about the hologram. She took the goggles and started to work on it. After a few minutes the device was finished. She closed the strange object and started to put it on her arm. Once this was done she walked to the mirror in the corner of the room and pressed a button. Kathya-Amethyst smiled to her reflection and walked away.
2002 – New-York city- the lair
Leo walked in his home more worried than he was when he left an hour ago. Looking around he tried to spot someone who could tell him where his sister was so he could have his books back. Raph was in the garage working on his Shell cycle, Mikey was out for his duty as Turtle Titan and Donny was in his lab. Noticing the light in the kitchen Leo walked straight in this direction.
Walking into the room, he sigh seeing only his sensei.
-Something's bothering you my son?
-Well, I was hoping to find someone else here, but maybe you know where Kathya is?
Splinter look at his son with a frown. It looks like the cat is out the hat again. More and more she's wandering outside the lair without her bell coming back tired and soared. We will need to keep a close eye on her next time she's going out. Sighing he said while sitting on a chair : "I doubt I can't help you my son. I have no idea where your sister is. It's getting quite troublesome, You should, with your brothers, investigate on this. When she is outing again like this without her bell."
-Hai Sensei, we will.
Leaving the room Leo walked to the dojo to meditate.
2000 – New-York city – Angel's home
-What do you want me to do again? Asked Angel looking at her friend.
-I want you to come with me in this new place in town. Said the friend.
-You do understand that your bros think it's too dangerous and it's a new place to recruit members for the BSs and the PDs. Said Angel still unsure if this was a good idea.
-I do. Said the friend with a smile. And since the BSs are looking for new members I'm gonna have a look at them. Beside I'm going with Ryan and Tanya too, I just want to go with you to have some fun and not look suspicious. She said with a wink.
-You sound like Raph. And seeing the frown of her friend she added, You know the guy I told you about.
The room filled with a crystalline laugh when the door of the room opened wide open.
-Aaaah Ladies, do you want some fresh cookies? Asked an old lady.
-Grandmaaaa, why don't you knock on the door? Whined Angel and turning around she asked her friend, What do you think Amy? Should she knock before coming in?
-Naah that's fine beside it's funny to see your look each time that she startle you.
Making a face that Amy laughed at they both went out of the room to pick up some fresh cookies.
2000 – New-York city – the lair
Kathya entered the lair with her thumb in her mouth, she finished liking her paws when she saw the look Mikey was giving her.
-What?? She inquired.
-Was that cookies? It smell good, Oh please, please, please tell me you have some left? Jumped Mikey.
-What's going on? Asked an angry Leo that just walked in the room after his other intense training session.
-Mikey wants some cookies that I DON'T have. What smells so good, bro is the cake that I bough for Sensei in case you haven't notice yet it's father's day today and I though it'll…
-YOU HAVE WHAT, SPENDING OUR MONEY LIKE THIS WITHOUT ASKING US?? YOU BECAME CRAZY? YOU…
"SLAP"
Leo looked down to his sister a hand on his cheek.
-I'm going to say this once BRO… ONE before getting angry YOU should know that I have my own money, TWO You have ABSOLUTELY no right to yell at me like this, and THREE, if you blow up again like this you will really regret it if you do it in front of me.
On this the girl walked out of the room putting the cake on the table with a note to her dad. She came back in the main room and jumped on the middle pipe, and stopping she jumped down walking to her brothers still standing there like idiots (AN: well Leo was looking like an idiot.) She handed a bag to Mikey with a smirk.
-I've made them, she simply said.
Mikey was having a bright smile on his face opening the package he smiled more inside of it they were chocolate chips cookies, his favorites.
-I KNEW IT, WAHOO, COOKIES FOR ME, NOT YOU BUT ME, I, MICHELANGELO, THE GREATEST BATTLE NEXUS CHAMPION, HAVE HOME MADE COOKIES BY HIS LITTLE SIS, COWAAAAABUNGA YEAH WHOOP.
On this overjoyed speech the orange banded turtle did a French leave on a chuckle, carrying the pack of cookies like a baby on his plastron.
Kathya jumped on her pipe, and disappeared in her room leaving Leo alone in his dark thoughts with a tear of blood on his cheek.
2000 - New-York city – the lair – Mikey's Room
Mikey closed the door behind him, and jumped on his bed. He opened the package and taking the note inside he read it while eating up a cookie. A frown appeared on his face.
