Chapter 14: Amber

And true to her word the next moring Juliet gathered her friends and told them all that happened in the last few weeks, who she was and how Shedder was able to prove that she was his daughter.

Juliet kept her eyes pinned to the floor the whole time she spoke to the others, Splinter's presence helpped in keeping her talking and in keeping the turtles qiuet but now she was done and it was the turtles time to speak, the moment of turth.

"Well ...." Donatello said but that was as far as he got. Juliet sighed. "You guys have no reason to trust me anymore, under the criumstances I wouldn't ethier. I want I never knew before. And if you want me to leave I will also unstand that. But I ask you let Fox stay, he has nothing to do with this." Juliet said.

Juliet was shocked when she heard laughter, it was coming from Raphael! "Juliet if you think we are going to make you leave then you don't know us that well." He said. "But ...." "Juliet." Juliet turned to Leonardo. "Do you really think we would make you leave?" He asked softly. "I hoped not." Juliet repiled turthfully.

"Juliet you are as much a member of this team as the four of us. Shedder being your father change nothing, it is only a unpleasent fact that we must face." "We?" Juliet asked, Donatello nodded agreeing with his brother. "Leo is right, we, all of us, will face this." He said.

Juliet looked at the other three turtles and Splinter and saw they also agreed, she swallowed a knot in her thoart. "Thank you." She whispered. And as she walked with Fox to the training room, though she wasn't sure, she swore she heard one of the turtles whisper. "What are brothers for?"

Juliet soon asked herself that question a few days later, she come to realized that some how from the time she first met them to that day that the turtles had become like brothers to her. Though they didn't like the fact she was Shedder's daughter none of them held it aganist her, instead it was like they didn't even know it, like nothing had changed.

But things had changed. Juliet was more prone to stay in the lair or sewers though she go on protol at times she was always jumpy and she always felt a twinge of gulit and regret each time she and the turtles spoke or debated what to do about the theart of Shedder. But things had also changed in a good way as well.

Juliet spent more time around Fox and the others, the capture, her distance and revelation tested the bonds of thier relationship as well as the one to the turtles and Juliet felt they passed with flying colors. But it was the relationship with another that would test Juliet to her limts.

Fox looked around the lair bored, Donatello had took his skatebroad for the day because he left it in the living room the night before and Donnie tripped over it so he couldn't go skateboarding with Michelangelo, Master Splinter and Raphael was busy with some things, Donatello was still alittle sore at him, Leonadro was on protol and Juliet was working out on a level he couldn't do.

Fox sighed to himself. I guess I can go exprole the sewers. He thought to himself as he left the lair. Fox wandered thourgh the sewer, bored and not really paying much atteion. But then he saw a flash of green out of the corner of his eyes and saw someone standing in the shadows, it took a moment to realized what it was. "Hello." A female voice greeted.

"Hey Mickey, you seen Fox anywhere?" Leonardo asked, Michelango shook his head. "No not since this moring." He said as Juliet and Raphael came in. "He isn't with Donatello or Master Splinter." Raphael said as Juliet frowned. "Where could he be?" She asked. "Don't worry Juliet, Fox is a smart kid, he will be ok." Donatello said.

"And speaking of him." Raphael said as he saw Fox come in. "Fox! Here have you been?!" Juliet asked, Fox only smiled and looked at something outside the lair. "I want you guys to meet someone. Come on in." He said as a figure stepped in, the eyes of the group widened. "It's her!" Michelango said as a femal mutant turtle stepped into the lair. "Hello, I am Amber." She greeted the four turtles and girl in a soft voice
