Sad Souls
Ch 2
A week after he killed Brandon; Mike lay in his bed staring at the ceiling and sighed. Angelina arrived home and entered the kids' rooms and said.
"Goodnight Serena sleep tight. Don't worry about your father I think he'll be fine now."
She looked and stared then she fell asleep as soon as her head hit her pillow. Angelina clicked her fan on above her head and closed her door quietly. Then she entered Mike Jr's room and said.
"Mike I'm not trying to replace your mother. I just want you and your sister to know that I love your father and would never try to replace your mother. You and your sister are good kids and I know that you were raised well by both of your parents. I just don't know how you lost your mother. Every time I ask your father he ignores me and falls asleep. Do you know how you lost your mother?"
He gulped and turned away from her.
"No not really. We were actually at our Uncle Leo's house when it happened. Then our father came home and told us about our mom. He really never told us how she died. So I really can't help you with that question. Goodnight Angelina see you in the morning."
As he heard her exit his room he sighed with relief.
'Whew that was too close. I almost told her what happened to our mother thank goodness I stopped myself. The last thing we need is our father's new girlfriend to hate him because he's hiding so much from her.'
At that thought he heard his dad enter and looked up.
"Hey dad; are you ok now? Serena and I are really worried about you?"
Mike sat on his son's bed and said as he covered him.
"No not really Jr. I'm just thinking about your mom and can't stop crying. I guess since she was the only human that knew what I was and loved me the same as if I were a man; that my mind is still stuck in the times when your mother was alive. I'll be fine stop worrying about me ok and get some sleep. I love you Jr. sleep tight."
He smiled at his father and fell asleep as soon as he hit his pillow. Mike entered his daughter's room and looked at her as she slept.
'Just like your mother Serena. I look at you and can see your mom smiling at me when she came from work.'
Serena heard her father and woke up. Then she turned toward him.
"Dad you have to tell Angelina about you and what happened to mom if you expect her to love you. I think she'll accept it if you tell her the truth. Because if she finds out on her own you might lose her. She keeps on asking me and Mike and we keep changing the subject; she is really concerned about you like me, Mike, and your brothers."
He sat on her bed and kissed her forehead.
"Yes I know sweetie. I am going to tell her as soon as I get in the room. Get some sleep Serena and stop worrying about me ok. Goodnight love you."
She smiled and hugged him.
"Love you too dad. Please try to get some sleep."
He smiled as he covered her and sighed.
"Ok Serena I will get some sleep I promise. Goodnight princess and sleep tight; see you in the morning."
At that thought she fell back to sleep a little more relieved. He saw her close her eyes and sighed with relief. Then he felt Angelina's arm around his waist and smiled.
"Angelina we really need to have a talk. There are things about me and my family you should know before you decide if you really want to be with me."
She kissed his cheek and smiled.
"Very well then we'll talk when you come to bed Mike. Don't be too long now; love you."
He sighed as he watched her enter their room and took a deep breath.
'Here goes nothing. I just hope she doesn't hate me when I tell her the truth. It has to be done Mike either now or let her find out by herself.'
He entered their room and saw Angelina lying on her side waiting for him. Then he sat on their bed and gazed into her eyes and took a deep breath. She unbuttoned his shirt and slipped it off his shoulders as she kissed his muscular chest. Then he looked and said.
"Angelina stop for one second and listen to me; I have something very important to tell you and I need your full attention when I tell you this."
She sat up and looked into his deep brown eyes and asked.
"Can the conversation wait till the morning I want you Mike. "
He glared and responded.
"No it can't wait till morning; will you just stop and listen to me instead of thinking about intimacy every time you're over here? This is more important than making love to you Angelina now knock it off and pay attention I mean it!"
She stopped and sat up.
"Ok fine then I'm listening. What is more important than making love to me?"
He took a deep breath.
"Angelina I'm not like other guys. I'm really different from them."
She leaned into kiss him as her hands moved up his chest and he grabbed them. "I know you are that's what I can't resist you when I'm over here. If that's all can we continue where we left off?"
He pushed her hands away from him and sighed.
"No that's not what I mean. Angelina I'm not human."
At that she stopped short and asked.
"What do you mean you're not human? You look human and act human; why are you saying that to me? What do you mean by that Michelangelo answer me dam nit!"
He shook his head and stared into her eyes.
"I'm not a human. I'm actually a huge mutant turtle; look for yourself."
He hit his watch and she looked at him and shrugged.
"So you're a huge turtle. Whatever you are I still love you the same Mike. Why did you hide it from me all that time we've known each other? What were you afraid of?"
He looked and sighed.
"I don't know maybe that you wouldn't accept me for what I was. I don't know. Another thing you should know is this. My wife was murdered by a mortal enemy of my family's. See we're ninjas and lost our father years ago because our mortal enemy's daughter Karai killed our father in cold blood. To avenge our father we killed her and now I killed her father and Karai's daughter is seeking revenge on me and my family. You being my girl is putting you in grave danger!"
At that she stared into his orange head band and kissed him with passion pushing him down to the bed and smiled.
"I don't care about that. I love you Mike and will not run because you're a ninja. My love for you is stronger than you'll ever know. Now that you have that off your chest can we?"
Without a word he shut the light and everything faded to red. Around 6:30am the next morning he is awaken by a premonition of Jence holding a blade to Angelina's neck and screams out.
"No not again! I can't allow it to happen this time!"
Angelina awakes and shakes him.
"Mike get up you're having a night mare snap out of it! Michelangelo its me Angelina please stop this you're scaring me."
He opened his eyes and embraced her tightly and sighed.
"Oh thank goodness you're ok. I'm fine now goodnight sweetie."
At that he held her close and they both fell asleep in peace. The alarm goes off and he wakes up and sighs saying to himself.
'I have to tell my brothers about my premonition. '
He wakes up quietly and checked on his kids. Serena woke up and asked.
"Dad where are you going?"
He looked at his daughter and said.
"I'm going by your Uncle Leo's house to practice. Please keep an eye on Angelina and your brother for me ok sweetie. If anything call my cell it's on love you Serena."
She wakes up and gets dressed. Then she turns her cell on and makes tea for herself and sits and watches a movie in silence. Trying to figure out what was wrong with Mike.
He arrived at Leo's house and his brothers stared.
"Bro what's wrong?"
Mike entered and sipped his coffee.
"I had a premonition about the foot tech ninja grabbing Angelina and my kids! It was awful I swear I woke up screaming! What are we going to do? Is there anyway to stop the premonition from coming true? Leo I'm desperate help me here!"
Leo looked and shook his head.
"No bro I'm sorry; I have no idea what to tell you! Oh man that means we need to get our shells to your house before it does come true! Let's move it bros love you honey!"
He gives Trista a quick kiss and she sighed as they disappeared out of the house toward the house.
"Boy Jr. having a ninja as a husband isn't easy! It's so unpredictable"
He looked at his mom and nodded.
"Yea I know and having a ninja as a father is never boring! I'm going out back and practicing with my cousins bye mom. Call us when lunch is ready!"
Leo and his brothers arrived at Mike's house and Serena ran to her father in tears along with Mike Jr.
"Dad they got Angelina and this is a note for you from Jence! Be careful there's blood stains on it! We tried to beat them but they were too many and they threw a smoke bomb and blinded us! We're so sorry dad please don't be mad!!"
At that he hugged his kids.
"I'm not mad I'm just glad that you two are ok. Go by your Uncle Leo's and wait till we get back! While you're on your way call your Aunt Trista! Stay there and don't worry about us we'll be fine now go! I'm your father don't disobey and just do what you were told!"
He sighed and shook his head as he read the note.
"She wants me to go alone if she sees you 3 she'll kill my girl! Bros this is my fight stay out of it! Please Leo trust me on this one."
Leo looked and shook his head.
"No way Mike not this time bro. We'll let you go alone but we'll be right behind you! Remember what happened the last time? Mike she is luring you into a trap; stop being stubborn and start listening!! We are brothers and stick together we'll give you a head start and be right behind you! Go on and please watch your shell!"
He nodded his head and disappeared into the shadows heading toward Jence's evil lair. When he arrived he fought off foot soldiers and foot tech ninjas as he made his way inside undetected. He heard her evil laugh and looked around.
"Where the shell are you Jence? I'm here by myself now let her go she has nothing to do with this! Your fight is with me and shouldn't involve my girlfriend!"
She revealed herself and held the katana at Angelina's neck laughing evilly.
"Oh poor Michelangelo all alone with no help from his brothers! Him and his weak self…he couldn't even save his poor wife Libra's life and will watch me kill Angelina just as he watched me kill Libra! Kiss her goodbye you green freak; and live with the consequences of killing my parents and grandfather! Ninja…ha maybe a poor excuse for a ninja! "
He glared at her and said.
"Oh no Jence you have it all wrong…you're the poor excuse for the ninja not me. You know why?"
She held the blade closer to Angelina's neck and she gulped.
"Michelangelo save me please! Don't let her kill me I love you and your kids please don't let her kill me!!"
At that Jence smacked her across the face and threw her on the floor after she stabbed her in the heart.
He screamed.
"No Angelina!! That's it Jence you die tonight you dishonorable ninja!! Now you'll feel my wrath little girl!"
He closed his eyes and the markings appeared glowing orange…..Tornado Blast!!!"
The wind aimed at her and knocked her backward into the wall and he held the katana at her neck and said.
"You were calling me weak? If I'm so weak why are you on the floor and I'm still standing well Jence answer the question!!! You can't can you? Well too bad now you die for killing my wife, attempting to kill my kids and killing my girlfriend!"
He picked up the katana and she blew pepper in his eyes blinding him as she beat him up because he couldn't see to block her attacks. She knocked him on the floor by Angelina and held the katana at his neck…
"Say goodbye Michelangelo…now I'll end your pathetic life and you can join your precious wife Libra!!"
Leo, Raph, and Don arrived and Leo yelled out.
"Get away from my brother you dishonorable little bitch before you feel my wrath and believe me you don't want to? Now back away from my brother or else!"
She laughed evilly and said.
"Oh please Leonardo you're the reason why my mother wasn't killed the first time. So you are as weak as your little brother Michelangelo the cold blooded killer!! Now you'll watch him die along with your other two brothers!!"
Leo grabbed his brothers hands and tried to reach Mike's mind
'Come on Mike we need you! Snap out it bro please! You're not weak get up Mike!'
Mike heard Leo's voice and came to. Then he knocked the katana from Jence's hand and used his flying dragon to join his brothers. He healed his wounds and grabbed his brother Don's hand and closed his eyes and the markings reappeared! They chanted in Japanese and their powers combined as they yelled…
"Shell Strike...Sayonarra Jence now you can join your dishonorable parents and grandfather!"
She tried to block it with the heart of tengu but it exploded and she fell. She got back up and Mike stared…
"Oh man that's it she dies tonight no way! He closes his eyes and the markings reappear as he throws several Chinese stars in his wind…Oh Jence you die tonight TORNADO BLAST!!!!!!!!!"
The wind aims right at her and she laughs until she sees the stars shoot out and they slash her all over her body…the second to last star penetrates her stomach and then the fatal star hits her right between the eyes killing her instantly….
They watch as she falls to the ground and give hi 3s. Mike runs to Angelina and leans down to kiss her. She opened her eyes and embraced him tightly returning his approach. He smiled and embraced her then he carried her back to Leo's house and laid her in the bed.
She smiled and kissed him.
"Thank you Mike. You saved my life; I love you my ninja! I'm going to take a nap because I'm still weak from that battle! I love you Mike."
He kissed her and covered her with the blanket and sighed as he removed his band and placed it in his wife's jewelry box that she left at Trista's house the night before she was killed. As he exited the room he said.
"Love you too Angelina sleep tight!"
Leo and his brothers looked at Mike's hand and sighed.
"Are you sure you're ready to take off your band?"
He nodded his head and responded.
"Yea I am. My wife wouldn't want me to grieve her in her death. She would want me to move on and that's what I intend to do. I can't wear the band anymore because my wife is gone. But I am keeping it in her jewelry box so I can look at it along with our wedding pictures and the pictures of our children when they were babies in their mom's arms."
His brothers ran to him and hugged him.
"It's good to have you back bro!"
He smiled as he went to shake Raph's hand and got him with the buzzer.
"Got you bro!"
Raph glared and then laughed.
"Yea you sure did Mikey. Get over here Mikey!"
Mike gulped but then laughed as his brother gave him a noogie.
