Chapter 2.
Akasha.
Akasha yawned and looked at her watch. It was 9:46 P.M. She should go to bed; she had school tomorrow, not that she cared. She didn't fit in, had no friends, and didn't enjoy her schoolwork, partially because she rarely received good grades.
She looked down at the book she had been reading. The one thing she loved was books. She read whenever she could, at night, in school during breaks, or if the teacher started to rant; she always slipped a paperback into her jeans' pocket for these occasions.
Akasha smiled to herself. She had read one particularly interesting book recently; April's journal. Her Auntie April, as she had called her when she was little, had given her a spare key to her apartment in case she ever needed it. Yesterday, one such occurance had happened. She had gotten into a fight in school, and needed a place to clean up before heading back home. Bored, not wanting to have to go home yet, she had poked around until she had found it, stuffed on the bookshelf in the bedroom. She had read a good third of it.
Akasha flipped through the journal in her lap. She found a pencil sketch of a giant turtle with a staff in one hand. It had a purple bandana around it's eyes, with slits to see through. She had seen several of these, but this one seemed to have been drawn in great detail. It was also coloured in.
The entire journal was full of these strange beings, not a page without a reference to them. Akasha found it immensely interesting. April's neat handwriting depicted a great many visits to their 'lair' as it was called.
Akasha's eyelids drooped. I gotta get some rest, she thought tiredly. I'll call in sick tomorrow, I think . . . sheslid into a deep sleep, the journal cradled in her arms.
Don woke up. He felt stiff all over. He had fallen asleep at his desk, as usual, a book lying open in frontof him. Then he remembered April. He needed to check on her! The only half-consious turtle pushed his chairback and got up, rubbing his eyes sleepily. He closed the rather bent bookand shoved it onto the bookshelf next to his bed. Then he proceeded to the door.
He made his way to the kitchen, and made some tea. Just then, Leo came in.
"Hey, Donny," he greeted his brother. He opened the fridge door and rummaged around until he pulled out a bar of chocolate. He unwrapped it and stuffed the whole thingi nto his mouth.
"Hungry?" Don asked, raising his eye ridges.
"Starving," Leo mumbled around the mouthful of half-chewed chocolate. "Are we going to check on April?"
"Yeah," Don said. "Should I go wake Mike and Raph?"
"No, they're coming," Leo replied, swallowing."Mikey said that he set his alarm."
"Don't count on it," Don warned his older brother."I saw him hide his alarm clock in his drawer." Leo looked at Don. Don shrugged.
"Are we going togo check on April or what?" he asked.
A/N: I'll have to work on doing longer chapters. I hope you like it.
