Thank you so much for reviewing! You guys are awesome!
I don't know if I said this before but I don't proofread my chapters! Lol I just dish them out as I write them cause I'm too lazy to do it!
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT. But I do own my OCs!
Enjoy!
"I'm sorry…you're what?" Donnie blinked and asked the one thing everyone was thinking.
"The correct term is Aeonian, Ageless is more of a slang version of the word" Nia corrected with a rolled of her eyes.
"Whatever they mean the same thing" Kayla shrugged.
"Aeonian? What exactly does that mean?" April questioned.
"It means exactly what it means" Cat scoffed at her.
"Lasting for an indefinitely long period of time?" Donnie asked as he wracked his brain for the definition of the word.
"We stop aging after a certain year in our lives hence the name" Cat said bitterly and Donatello flinched at her tone. He had a feeling it was directed at him.
"So wait, what you're say is you're not—"
"Human?" Nia finished off for Leo and he nodded "Technically no, we're not" she continued.
"You're not aliens in disguise right?" Mikey asked in panic.
Kayla sighed "No, we're not"
"So like where are you guys from?" Casey asked.
"Uh Nia? Care to tell them, you know our history better than me and Cat" Kayla said sheepily.
Nia snorted and crossed her arms while leaning against the wall "To put it simply, everything you ever know about mythical creatures, urban legends, supernatural and paranormal anything that you can think of that you might not think is not real…it is"
"You mean like werewolves, vampires, witches, and ghosts they're all..real?" Mikey asked. He received a nod from all three girls.
"That is so metal!" Casey grinned.
"But if it's all true then how come no one's ever seen one" April asked.
"It's because of Divinity" Kayla supplied.
"Divinity, what's that?" Raph asked.
"It's a place where we go and we can be ourselves…our true selves" Cat added.
"What do you mean by true selves?" Donnie asked.
"Not all Aeonians look human, some look like you sometimes of other species, others may have the body of a human with extra features like wings or tails. It all depends in what Social Class they're in" Nia stated.
"That's why you weren't surprised when you first saw them! You guys are already so used to being around people that are like them!" April exclaimed.
"So you're say there's a place with a bunch of mutants?" Mikey asked.
"Not mutants! Aeonians! There's a difference! We were born this way. You weren't" Kayla glared at him shutting him up immediately.
"So this Divinity place? How did it come to be?" Leo asked changing the subject.
"Hundreds of years ago we use to live in peace with humans until they grew to fear us and our powers. They began to form mobs, hunts, witch trials…you name it to get rid of us. Anyone that gave off a hint of not being normal by human standard were hunted down and killed. That's when the Elders gathered the most powerful witches and sorcerers to create a safe haven for us and others that couldn't blend in with humans very well" Nia explained.
"Where is Divinity located?" April asked curiously.
"Don't you dare tell them" Cat hissed.
"It's not like they can find it anyway" Kayla scoffed.
"Why's that?" Raph said crossing his arms.
"Because only people with Aeonian blood can find the entrances" Nia stated boredly "We shouldn't even be telling you any of this we can get into serious trouble if the Elders were to find out…but you already seen too much and it the least we can do since you're letting us stay here" she explained further.
"Then we won't ask anymore" Leo nodded.
"That doesn't explain with what happened to Sky though!" Raph glared.
"Her thread was broken" Cat said sadly as she stared down at her own gold thread that was desperately trying to get a response from the purple thread that was beside it. She shook her head and looked up again.
"Her thread?" Casey raised an eyebrow.
"A link" she sighed when they continued to looked at her cluelessly "Her aura…her soul!" she said becoming annoyed.
"Her soul was broken? But how is that even possible?" April blurted out.
"She found her soul-urge and made a link with them" Kayla stated.
"Back up a bit! I'm getting confused here! What the heck is a soul-urge?" Mikey asked.
"In your terms I guess it would be the equivalent of a soulmate…it's someone you're meant to be with. Once our soul finds its urge it instantly begins to link up. Once the connection is made the only thing that can break it is for one of them to die" Nia explained leaving out that it can also be broken by completely refusing your soul-urge.
"And even then the pain is too much so their soul-urge follows them to the death" Kayla added.
"It's rare to survive it and those that do are usually Elders" Cat muttered.
"So they literally die from a broken heart?" Mikey said softly.
"I don't get it! Why would hers break though?" Casey said confused.
"Because Raph died" Donnie whispered as he finally figured it out.
Raph's eyes widen and he swallowed nervously. Sure he had developed a small crush on her. But hearing that they were suppose to be together? It was almost too good to be true.
"Wait you're saying she's Raph soul-urge? Her?" Casey laughed.
Raph growled and pushed his friend against the wall "You got a problem with that?"
"I was just joking! Chill Raph" Casey raised his hands up in surrender. Raph let him go and turned to Cat.
"She'll be ok now…right? RIGHT?!" he barked at her.
"I don't know!" she snapped shoving him away and ran out of the house.
"Cat!" Kayla shouted and glared at Raph as she chased after her friend.
"Nice going Raph!" Leo said sarcastically.
Nia shook her head "It's not his fault" she commented "It's his soul…it knows something is off" she tapped on his plastron above his heart.
"My soul?" Raph he said looking down where she pointed.
"Don't tell me you forgot already? It happen minutes ago" Nia looked at him flabbergasted.
Raph's brows rose. Did she mean that painful tug that felt like his heart was getting ripped out? It had come quickly, as it was gone. But when it had vanished he had felt like something was off about himself.
"You mean that pull?"
"That pull was Cat trying to fix it" Nia stated.
"Trying to fix it? She doesn't know how to do it" Donnie pointed out.
Nia shook her head "Soul-Cura is an advanced technique, it's way above her training, she shouldn't even have been able to do it but she did…sort of"
"What do mean sort of? Did she fix it or not?" Casey said becoming annoyed.
"Jeez Casey! If Cat doesn't know how to do it than she probably didn't do it right!" Mikey rolled his eyes. Everyone stared at him in surprise "What? I have my moments" he replied crossing his arms over his chest.
"You're right about that though. She didn't do it correctly. Which is why Sky hasn't woken up. Had it been done right she would be up and awake the moment your links were connected" Nia told them all while looking at Raphael.
"So why can't Kayla or you try to fix it?"
"We can't. We're Elemental, She's a Sylph and I'm a Salamander"
"Meaning…?" Mikey let the word hang.
"She controls wind and I wield fire"
"Wicked" Casey smirked.
"What about Catharine?" Donnie asked curiously.
"She's a Hex, Reader Clan, Aura branch. It allows her to see people's auras and who they're connected with"
"That's why she was able to do it then" April said. It was all starting to make sense. "Then Skyler…she's some sort kind healer for your kind right? It would explain why when she took care of Leo he looked better and better each day"
Nia nodded "Hex, Healer Clan, Mender branch" she confirmed April's suspicion.
"Guys, that's enough questions. It's late we should get some rest" Leo stated noticing Nia looked like she didn't want to answer any more questions and rather check on her friends. She looked at him and smiled thankfully before heading out the door to check on her friends.
"Cat! Cat come back!" Kayla shouted after her friend. She skidded to a stop when she saw Catharine stop feet away from the barn. Her fist were clenched and shaking.
"Catharine?" Kayla said softly and lightly turned Cat to face her. "Talk to me Catharine" she urged at seeing her friends stat.
"What do you want me to say?" her voice quivered "I don't want to be here anymore, I want to go to Divinity! Everything is going wrong since we got here!"
"It hasn't been that bad―" Kayla winced when Cat gave a hollow laugh.
"Our friend is in danger Kay! She may never wake up because I messed up!" she continued.
Kayla narrowed her eyes "She would have died if you hadn't done what you did! Skyler's strong! She'll pull through I know it!"
"We need to go back! We need to go to Divinity and find a Master Aura Reader to help Sky! We need to go into the nearest town find a phone and call your Dad!"
Kayla stared at her friend. Yes, it was true they needed to get Skyler to a Master. But she found it strange that her friend was dead set on leaving this place.
"This isn't just about Sky? It's something else isn't it?" she asked Cat stayed silent "This is about Donnie!" Kayla stated. Cat shut her eyes tight to stop the tears but it was no use.
"I want to leave"
"Cat…" Kayla eyes soften in sympathy.
"No! You don't know what it's like! Your soul-urge isn't in love with someone else!" she spat.
"And what's leaving going to do! It'll only make it worse and you know it!" Kayla shouted back.
"I'm going to find a Master to block the link" she whispered out making Kayla's eyes widen at the statement.
"You're an idiot!" Nia snarled as she joined them and took long strides towards Catharine. Once she was within reach she grabbed a fist full of her shirt and brought her inches from her face.
"Shut up! You don't understand either! Every day I have to watch him flirt with her and it feels like my soul it getting torn bit by bit" Cat glared at her and clenched her teeth in anger.
"Then do something about it!" Nia hissed shoving her to the ground "The Catharine I know isn't a scared little bitch! She see something and she damn well goes and gets it! No matter what everyone else might think!"
Kayla watched them silently while debating whether or not to butt in. In the ended she decided against it. Catharine needed this kick in the ass and judging by the looked in Cat's eyes it was something she needed to hear as well. Nia smirk in satisfaction when Catharine stood up and wiped her tears away and began to walk back to the farm house with determination.
Kayla grinned "Oh I got to see this!" she said quickly following after Cat with Nia right behind her.
Catharine never once slowed her pace and continued to walk at a fast pace. She entered the house and made a straight line towards Donatello. He looked at her confused blushing slightly at their close proximity. Without any warning she gripped the strap he used to carry his bo staff, pulling him down and softly connecting their lips together in a kiss.
Donatello's mind went blank, his heart hammered in his chest and his whole body began to tingle. His mind screamed at him to wrap his arms around her and pull her closer but before he could do that she pulled away and smirked at him before going upstairs. He stood frozen and dazed in place as he watched her go. He couldn't even say something intelligent and his words came out in a jumble. Everyone looked on with jaws dropped.
"What…just happened?" Raph asked as Kayla and Nia snickered while also making their way upstairs.
