Thank you so much for reviewing and for following! You guys are awesome!
So I had the hardest time writing this chapter. Mainly because I didn't like this episode except for the part where Donnie realizes it never going to happen between him and April...that was until April had to ruin it and lead him on by kissing him.
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!
"So this soul-urge thing with you guys? How exactly does it work?" Mikey questioned as he followed Nia and Kayla into the woods. It was routine for her and Nia to go deep into the woods and practice their abilities and Mikey had followed them once and witnessed their fighting and made a habit of always joining them to be their audience.
"Don't worry about it" Kayla glared at him.
"Aw come on Kay…Kayla" he quickly corrected himself when she sent him a glowering look "I'm just curious" he said quietly sending her a longing look when she turned away. Nia hadn't missed it though and she sighed. Her friend was really an idiot.
"What did you want to know?"
Mikey's face brighten up when Nia decided to answer his question.
"How does it work?"
Nia shrugged "Its like an instant connection, not really sure how to explain it, but you see them and all you want to do it be with them, get to know them…make them happy" Nia trailed off.
Mikey thought over her words a looked towards Kayla. Not once did she turn to look at him as they kept walking towards the woods her and Nia liked to spar in.
"Do you two have soul-urges?" He asked.
"Yes" Nia nodded.
"No!" Kayla snarled pausing a brief second and placed a hand over her heart wincing slightly. Mikey looked at her slightly worried his heart clenching that it actually hurt like someone had literally pinched his heart.
"Kayla" Nia glared.
"I'm fine…are we gonna practice or what?" She quickly regained her composure.
"Mikey why don't you head back to the farm house" Nia said.
"…uh?" Mikey stared between the two as they narrowed their eyes at each other.
"I need to talk to her…alone" Nia emphasized. He nodded a bit unsure but said nothing, knowing that this was something between the two friends and he shouldn't try butting in into their business.
As soon as Michelangelo was out of site Nia threw a fireball at Kayla hitting her square in the shoulder.
Kayla hissed "That hurt! Ow!" She yelped as another ball of fire hit her "What the hell Nia! We haven't even said start!"
"Start" Nia glared at her and gathered more flames and shot them at her friend. Kayla growled and shot out a blast a gust of strong wind that stop the flames in their tracks. However that didn't stop the red head as she got closer to her friend all while dodging wind attacks and throwing her own fire attacks.
Kayla gritted her teeth and surrounded herself in a wind barrier. Nia was not holding anything back this time. Her eyes widen as she saw Nia gathering her flames into a large ball before throwing it at her. She strengthened her shield as it came hurdling towards her. As soon as the flames touched her barrier she was thrown back from the blast.
"Nia! What the hell is the matter with you!" Kayla growled out shaking her head as she sat up from the ground only to be knocked down again as a fist connected with her splitting her lip open.
"My problem is you!" Nia said icy cold voice.
"Me? What did I do?" Kayla glared while wiping the blood off her chin only for more to come out and stain her chin once more. Nia grabbed a fist full of Kayla's shirt and lifted her up from the ground.
"You're straining the bond!" Nia hissed at her.
"I don't care" Kayla muttered.
"You should care! Do you want the same thing to happen to you to what happened to Sky! What if Cat isn't as lucky with repairing your link?"
"That won't happen. I'll get it blocked before it happens" Kayla stated stubbornly.
"It's already breaking you idiot!" Nia snarled tossing her back to the ground "You're doing the same thing your mother did to your dad!" Nia yelled. Kayla let out a roar and tackled her to the ground.
"You take that back!" Kayla hissed rolling them over so she was on top and took a shot at her. Nia tilted her head and avoided the punch and pushed Kayla to the side hard enough to roll them over and she was now on top.
"No! You know it's true! You're rejecting him! Just like she did to him!" Nia shouted pinning her down. Kayla clutched her heart and cried silently. She hated that Nia was right. She was doing what her mother did. Rejecting her soul-urge.
"No!" Kayla cried snapping her head forward and head-butted Nia in the nose.
"Damn it!" Nia jerked back clutching her nose as blood began to gush out.
"I will never be like her" Kayla said pushing Nia off her.
"Then prove it!"
"This is so uncomfortable. Bigfoot follows me everywhere like a love struck puppy" Donnie said escaping into the living room and sliding the door shut making sure that Bigfoot had not followed him.
"Now you know how April feels" Raph stated as he continued to play his video game. Raph could only hopeful that had got through his brother and he would start paying attention to Cat before it was too late.
Donnie was about to protest when he realized his brother was right. He quickly snapped out of his thought as he saw Raph stand up and leave the game controller forgotten on the couch as Nia and Kayla walked in bloodied up.
"Whoa what happened to you two" Raph asked slightly concerned.
"Nothing just a misunderstanding" Nia claimed.
"We're good now" Kayla confirmed.
"Here you should let me look at those wounds" Donnie stated as he quickly went into the kitchen to grab the first aid-kit. He looked both of them over and frowned slightly.
"I have to reset your nose or else it won't heal properly" he told Nia.
"Just do it quickly" Nia shut her eyes and clenched her fists in pain as Donatello reset her nose back in the proper place with a snap before cleaning around the area and placing a small bandage over her nose.
"You're going to need stitches that cut is pretty deep" Donnie told Kayla and she told a step back nervously.
"No that's ok I'm fine really"
"She scared of needles" Nia told them with a roll of her eyes.
"If it'll make you feel better I can cover your eyes. Sometimes if you can't see your fear it's not as bad" Donnie offered kindly "But we do need to close that or else it won't heal very well"
"Ok" Kayla said hesitantly.
When Donnie was done patching them up they headed up stairs to go to bed early.
"Did she knock some sense into you?" Cat teased taking in their beat up forms.
"What do you think?" Kayla said her voice dripping with sarcasm and Nia smirked.
The next day at breakfast they had noticed something was off.
"Where's Bigfoot?" Kayla asked not seeing the large hairy giant.
"Funny story actually" Mikey grinned and began to them everything that happened last night when they decided to go to bed early.
"So Bigfoot is now taking care of the guy that was hunting her down?" Cat raised an eyebrow.
"Yup" Mikey smiled.
"Weird" Casey said as he stuffed his mouth with waffles "Oh hey Cat! Can you help me take apart the engine? I think there's some parts missing in there" He asked with his mouth full.
"First off don't talk with you mouth full that's gross" Cat lectured causing to blush and smile sheepily "And second I can't I have stuff to do"
"Aw come on babe! You're good at taking things apart and knowing how to put it back together! If it's was just me I going to end up misplacing a bunch of it and I'll never get that thing started!" Casey whined.
"Babe?" Both Donnie and April question with a glare.
"Sorry Case maybe tomorrow I have some stuff to figure out" Cat grinned. "Which reminds me Raph I need to borrow you"
"Borrow me?" Raph shook his confused.
"Yup" Cat said and took a bite of her food letting everyone know she wasn't going to say anymore.
"So what happen to you two?" Leo asked as he looked to Kayla and Nia his stare lingering on the latter. Kayla and Nia stared at each other a moment before shrugging their shoulders.
"Training" they both replied before going back to eating their food. Everyone looked at them weirdly and shrugged it off.
"Right…well I'm going to cut some more fire wood" April stated as she finished eating an took her plate to the sink.
"I'll wash the dishes" Kayla offered.
"I'll help you" Mikey said quickly and helped her gather the dishes from the table. Kayla sent a nervous stare towards her friends only for them to narrow their eyes at her and have them mouth the word "go" to her.
"What exactly do you need me for?" Raph said crossing his arms as he followed Cat upstairs to where all the girls where rooming in. His eyes soften as he took in Skyler's form on the bed unmoving and getting paler by the day.
"Just sit there" Cat motioned to the stool that was beside the bed. Raph sat down and turned his body to face Skyler's grabbing her hand gently and running his thumb softly along her knuckles.
"Hey what are you―" Raph gasped as Cat placed a hand over his heart and then made a fist as she pulled away he felt a sharp tug. He watch her do the same with Skyler placing a hand over her heart and making a fist. He with a shaky hand he gripped her wrist before she could pull it away.
"Don't…hurt her" he gritted his teeth in pain. His eyes widen at the eerie glow in Cat's eyes. She paid no mind to him and continued on her task, bringing her hands together and closing her eyes in concentration feeling the links as they tried to connect properly. She tried to mend them again but found it wasn't doing much good. She panted and let go of both links.
"Give me a little warning next time" Raph growled at her while rubbing his plastron. They both turned towards Skyler's as she took in a deep breath. "Sky?" Raph asked hopefully. However she stayed the same.
"She soul's just settling, I thought I could mend the link a bit more but I don't know where to even begin…I'm sorry" Cat sat at the edge of the bed burying her face in her hands in frustration.
"It's…ok" he said awkwardly "You don't look so good"
"It takes a lot of my energy…especially since it's an advance technique that I'm trying to pull off" she explained.
"Maybe you should go outside? Get some fresh air…I'll watch over her" Raph offered. Cat nodded and took his advice.
Kayla washed dishes while Mikey rinsed them and placed them on the rack. No words were spoken between them. Mikey swallowed nervously and looked towards her quickly turning away when she caught him.
"I'm…sorry" she finally whispered out.
"Wha…?" Mikey's head snapped up to look at her in wonder.
"I'm sorry…for being such a bitch to you"
Mikey shook his head quickly "You weren't—"
"No I was" she cut him off "With that said I hope we can put that aside and start over?"
Mikey smiled with a slight blush "I'd like that"
Kayla smiled softly and extend a soapy hand to him "I'm Kayla"
"I'm Michelangelo" he grasped her hand giving it one good shake.
Catharine made her way outside and took a walk into the woods to clear her mind. Her mood turned sour when she spotted April by the side of the house cutting up more firewood and made her even more upset when she saw Donatello walk up to April with a dejected look on his face.
"Hey April" he said softly. April paused in her chopping and set the axe aside to give Donnie her full attention.
"What's up Donnie?"
Donnie shifted around nervously "I…um…I just wanted to let you know that I won't be bothering you with music boxes anymore. I get it now, Donnie is to April as Bigfoot was to Donnie" he sighed "I'm just a...mutant" he looked down to the ground and avoided April's stare. Catharine watched as April gently smiled up at him.
"You're not just a mutant Donnie. You're my mutant" Catharine eyes widen in horror as she saw April lean up and kiss Donatello on the lips. She grasped her heart as a sharp tug tore through her chest sending a cold chill through her body. She whimpered at the pain and stumbled slightly. April and Donatello turned to the sound. Donatello's eyes widen in dread.
"Cat? Are you ok?" April tilted her head in question watching as Cat leaned heavily against the wall for support. Catharine shook her head quickly and pushed herself off the wall and stumbled down the porch stairs making a run for it into the woods.
"Catharine wait!" Donatello shouted in panic and he chased after her.
Donatello ran into the woods hoping to catch up with her but he quickly lost site of her.
"Catharine!" He shouted looking around desperately waiting for a response but got nothing. He clenched his fist. This wasn't…it shouldn't be affecting him like this. He should be happy. April had finally kissed him in more than a friend way….yet it for some reason it felt…wrong.
Yea Nia likes to knock sense into her friends literally...lol. Please review!
