Isabelle POV
Isabelle sat down at the small table. looking around at her new "family". She knew, even at that moment, without even getting to know them, that she would never belong. Her real family was living in, or rather, under, New York. Her real family was made up of mutants, hockey jocks, and kunoichis.
"So what have you been doing in New York?" Kristina asked as they ate. Isabelle looked at her new sister.
"I've had my lessons and my schoolwork to keep me busy." she said, looking down at her plate.
"Lessons?" Anthony asked, confused. Isabelle smiled.
"My martial arts lessons." she said happily.
"That reminds me. I need to stop payment on those." Mr. Gold said, and Isabelle jerked her head towards him.
"Wait, what?" she asked.
"I can't pay for both your lessons and Kristina's dance lessons, and you haven't had any need for defense in New York, so I'll stop them." her father said, and Isabelle scowled.
"That's what you think." she said.
"What are you talking about?" Anthony asked. Isabelle stood up.
"None of your business." she said, and, ignoring her father calling to her, she went back upstairs to her room. She wasn't as upset as she thought she would be, though. She was just hurt that he didn't care enough about her. Isabelle curled up on her bed, and took out the only stuffed animal she had brought with her. It was a large, stuffed turtle. The guys had given it to her before she left as a joke, and April had one as well, but she now held it tightly to her body.
"I miss you so much. It's only been a day, and we just talked an hour ago, but I feel like I haven't seen you in ages." Isabelle whispered. She could vaguely hear her father calling her to come downstairs, but she ignored the call. She changed out of her day clothes, and into more comfortable ones, which included dark red yoga pants, and a white camisole. She fell back onto her bed, and let herself be overcome with sleep.
Next Day
Isabelle woke up the next day to birds singing outside her window. She smiled, and got out of her bed. Since no one else was awake, she decided to train in the woods. She changed into a green and yellow sports bra, and black leggings, with blue sneakers. She brought out her weapons quietly, then walked out of the front door into the woods. She ran for a while until she found a clearing surrounded by bushes and trees. Isabelle hung a large pillowcase that she had filled with clothes on a low-hanging branch, and began to use that as a punching bag. She beat at it fiercely, imagining it was her problems, until sweat began to plaster her hair to her face. Then, she took out her knives and practiced with them in their three different forms. First, she used the smaller knives on bushes, and sapling trees. Then, the katanas were used on the larger trees, and her whips, which she prefered, were used on bushes and branches. When she finished, Isabelle realized that she had been practicing for nearly three hours, so she decided to go back to the house. Her siblings were still asleep, and her father was already at a meeting. Isabelle pit her weapons back into her closet, and went to take a shower. Once she had finished, she draped herself in a long bathrobe, and Isabelle went downstairs, where she found her new brother sitting at the table, a bowl of cereal in front of him.
"Good morning." Isabelle said, as she went to get her own bowl.
"Did you go for a run or something earlier?" Anthony asked her, and she nodded.
"It's a habit of mine that I got into in New York." Isabelle said, sitting down.
"Isn't it sort of scary, living alone in the city?" Anthony asked, and Isabelle laughed slightly.
"Not really. I mean, I've basically been living on my own for the past six years, so I've learned lots of things." she said, smiling.
"I just have one question, if that's alright." Anthony said, and Isabelle nodded.
"Sure." she said.
"Who were you on the phone with when I came to get you last night?" he asked. Isabelle nearly choked on her breakfast.
"Just some really close friends of mine from New York." she said, continuing to eat. Anthony looked at her suspiciously for a few minutes before letting it go. After a while, Kristina came down, followed by their father.
"So, Dad. I never really asked you what your job is that makes you travel around so much." Isabelle said, and her father looked at her.
"I provide technology for major companies, and also for some companies based in Asia. I'm actually expecting a representative for one of my best employers from Asia today." he said, and Isabelle felt slightly proud at breaking through a small block between her and her father. Breakfast went smoother than dinner the night before, and they all made small talk. Isabelle got up from the table after about an hour, and went to get changed. She put a Hunger Games- Peeta sunset orange sweater, and brown leggings, along with brown boots. She pulled her hair into a sideways French braid, and put on an orange headband. The doorbell rang downstairs, and she heard Anthony answer it.
"Better go meet this person before Dad makes me." Isabelle thought, and she opened her own door, and walked down the stairs. Voices were coming from the living room, so that was where she went.
"Ah! Isabelle! I would like you meet my employer's representative, and his daughter." her father said, and Isabelle turned to smile at the person, but it quickly slid off of her face as she saw the representative's face.
"It's so nice to meet you, Isabelle. My name is Karai." said the daughter of Isabelle, the boys, and Master Splinter's worst enemy. Isabelle felt her scars begin to tingle, and her eyes hardened.
