Chapter 5: Innocence

Karai stared at her father through the glass cylinder separating her from everyone else. She couldn't believe that he had done all those horrible things, even as the head Utrom was reading them. It just wasn't possible. Clearly it was a case of mistaken identity. She believed in her father's innocence.

Her eyes locked on the vile Utroms who sentenced him to exile, and she sneered at them. How dare they accuse her father of doing these things? How dare they take him away from her? She wanted to say something, but she knew it would do no good. Her father had been sentenced to his death on the asteroid planet known as Mor Ga Tal.

Then she looked at the Turtles who were present for the trial as well. Leonardo was standing there, heavily bandaged due to the stab wound she had inflicted. She hadn't meant to hurt him in that manner. But then she waited for him to protest on her behalf. Surely he wouldn't want her to be without her father?

Leonardo said nothing and just stared in stoic silence.

Anger flared up within her. She hated him and his vile family for doing this to her! She locked gazes with Leonardo and only one thought traveled through her mind.

You will pay for this.

A/N: Well, only 221 for that drabble. How did you like it? It was definitely a short one, but I still like where it went. I was going to use Mikey for this prompt, but I figured that would be too predictable, so I decided to use Karai instead. Feel free to leave a review, and have a shelltastic day.
