Chapter 99
"Sapphire, answer me," Donny hung up on his brothers. "Why would you be concerned about the Foot?"
"No reason. Can we go play now?" I asked impatiently.
"No, answer me now. Then we can go play. What are you trying to hide from us?"
"I told you all ready--If I tell you, you'll know my dad. Your all going to start thinking that he's stalking me or something because he wants to kill me. Then you'll go looking for him to kill him so he won't kill me and then you'll all start to fight and everything and then, like I told you on the plane ride down here, you and your brothers will die because of the fight and I'll never be able to forgive my dad and then I won't have anywhere to live, but if you guys end up killing my dad, then I'll never forgive you, I'll run away and I'll still have no where to live."
"We're back!" Ryan yelled.
I left Donny's room.
Ring, Ring!
"Hello?" Donny answered his shell cell confused.
"Donny, hi. It's us. What'd you hang up on us for?" Leo asked. "What's going on? What happened?"
"Guys? I think you should come down here..." Donny hung up again and went to go get his dinner.
Leo hung up the phone.
"What happened? What'd he say?" Raph asked.
"We're going to Florida." Leo left to go pack.
Ring, Ring!
Donny put down his fork and turned to Angel and Ryan. "Sorry. One minute," Donny picked up. "Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"Who is this?"
"Mikey."
"No wonder..." Donny said sarcasticly.
"No, I'm serious. Where are you guys?" Mikey asked.
"In Florida...Where else?"
"No, I mean where in Florida?"
"At Angel and Ryan's house."
"We know!" Raph snatched the phone away from Mikey. "Where is their house!"
Donny started being all wise. "Well, you should have been more--"
"Just shut up and tell us where the house is!"
"Will you be nice? Just be calm!" Leo shot.
"How am I supposed to be nice and calm when we're in the middle of an unusual state that we've never been to before and now we're lost!" Raph screamed.
"Did you hear me?" Donny asked.
"What?" Raph replied.
"I just gave you the address."
"No, say it again..."
"Oh, my God..."
"Let me talk to them." Angel grabbed the shell cell and went into the other room.
"What did they want?" I asked.
"Their here in Florida and were just asking for the directions to the house." Donny answered.
"What are they here for?"
"...Nothing..."
"What is it?"
"Nothing!"
"Donny, tell me!"
"Sapphire, I swear, it's nothing."
"Donny!"
"You know what?" Ryan stood up. "I think I'll leave you two alone for a few minutes..." Ryan took his dinner and went into the other room where Angel was.
I waited for Ryan to leave the room. "You called them didn't you?"
"What?" Donny asked.
"Because you saw the Foot."
"Um..."
"I guess I should tell you now. Your gonna find out sooner or later."
"Which is what?"
"You know how on the plane ride here I asked you when we met and everything?"
"Yeah."
"And I said that I thought one of you gave birth to me?"
"Yeah."
"To tell you the truth, it really feels that way because technically, I knew you ever since I was born."
"How?"
"Shedder's my dad..."
"...He's your what?"
"My dad. He and my mom, Mary, had me and then raised me and everything was fine. Then I turned five. My mom died and dad threw out everything that reminded him of her. Including me. He was so mad that she died that he didn't want to be reminded of her. But he still wanted a daughter. So, he adopted Karai and then threw me out and then that's how I found you guys. Then the whole thing spilled out. By the way, my real name is Ann. But I want Sapphire to still be a nickname. I like that name."
"Wait a minute, this is too much! Shedder is your dad?"
"I repeated myself twice. You get it."
"Oh, my God!"
"Hey! We found it!" Mikey walked in.
"Finally!" Raph yelled.
"Hey, guys!" Angel greeted.
"Should I...?" Donny asked.
"They have a right to know as well as you do." I answered.
Later up in my room...
"Shedder's your dad!" Leo, Mikey, and Raph asked in shock.
"Here we go..." I said.
"Yep." Donny responded.
"This is weird..." Mikey said.
"I know it..." Leo agreed.
"I have to agree even though it's you and I don't want to." Raph added to Mikey.
"Also, my real name is Ann. But I like Sapphire a little more. That can be my nickname." I said.
"Ann or Sapphire or whatever it is!" Leo smiled.
