Raph looked me straight in the eyes.
"Look, what are you REALLY doing here? I mean, I feel like everything you told us was a total lie. Was your story true?"
I nodded my head as a sincere answer. He didn't look as angry as before, but he still looked mad. He smiled at me(which was weird), and this time, he didn't fling me over his shoulder, thank God, but he held my hand in his.
"Wanna know how I know you're 13?"
I nodded.
"Well, Donnie scanned you and it gave us your age. And your real name. Ahlainna Wesley, or should I say Fighter Wesley."
I looked at the ground with shame. I hadn't heard that name for 7 years! He looked down at me and smirked. I actually felt him breathing the words, "I love you, Fighter, no matter how I treat you."
That TOTALLY didn't make sense! He, the hothead, loved me? Why me? There are prettier girls. More talkative girls(obviously). I just felt this was a false love.
Once we got back to the lair, the others were waiting for us. Leo and Donnie looked angry. Mikey wasn't even paying attention. Leo walked up to me and Raph and asked, "Where were you? You were out for hours! And with the girl!"
"Dude, Raph was alone with the girl?" Mikey asked.
"Shut up Mikey," Raph said. "Leo, we were only taking a walk. I didn't realize the time. Okay?"
"Raph, you know I don't want her outside the lair for now! She should have been here, resting! C'mon, Ally. Let's get you back to bed," Leo said.
He walked me to his room and closed the door.
"Ally, we need to talk. Your mom is most likely dead. We're going to come with you to get your belongings. We'll go tomorrow, if that's okay. You are not safe. You should stay with us, where no harm can come to you. Donnie could teach you a lot in science and math. We could probably teach you to be a kunoichi. That means female ninja in Japanese," Leo said.
He walked to the door and said, "Oh and, uh, dinner will be ready soon, so be on alert."
This made me giggle. He smiled and walked out. Raph came in and sat down next to me.
