Angel.


"I see a light!" A weak and shaky hand reached to the heavens, gripped instantly tight by a concerned Leonardo. Everyone peered around the fallen sea green turtle, watching as his beautiful blue eyes turned scarily dim.

"I see an angel!" His voice grew softer, as he took in the new sight, eyes turning owlishly wide, confused and overjoyed at the wonderful sensations. This caused his terrified and heartstricken brothers to look wildly about.

"Where Mikey?" Raph asked gently, voice worn smooth with worry. He cradled his brother protectively tight. "Where's da angel?"

"There. Just above you." Mikey smiled, breath becoming ragged in his plastron, eyes clouding over. "He's beautiful. He's tall and angelic and strong and is leaning over and wait! He's got something to say!" His voice squeaked terribly as he strained hard to hear the angelic vision's sweet instructions.

"Get up Michaelangelo." The angel whispered in his ear, with a commanding, fatherly tone. His whiskers and fur lightly tickled the youngest turtle's cheek.

"You still have four hundred and ninety-nine back flips to go."


A/N: Another drabble, this one was fun to type, even if it took a bit to get the words just right. Finding it harder and harder to get the words to flow easily, in a style I like. I'm trying real hard to keep up appearances but yeah, it's hard. But this is where I want to be, want to work though this dark tunnel, and see if I can find the light at the end.

Right now is when I usually give up and keel over.

Started a forum, the link is myforums/notawordsmith/2648870/ . I'd be more than happy if you all wander over there and join in the fun!

Rant, rave, review ... all that good stuff.

P.S. Oh I ADORE the fanfiction gods ... *sighs dryly* If you can't work the link out, send me a PM and I'll see if I can steer you in the right direction.
