Paper planes
"Who the hell do you think you are to come waltzing in here and acting like you're in charge?!"
"I never agreed to this."
Dammit Vi and Nikki! I feel like shit and you're arguing. Feel the love bitches, feel the love. I think as I slowly open my eyes.
"Knock it the fuck off." I shout/groan in their direction. I hear a whisper behind me.
"She's handling this quite well..."
And then a different voice, "One.. Two... Three..."
And then I start thinking again.
"Where the fuck am I?!" I shout.
"There it is." Says the second voice again. I turn around to where Vi and Nikki (I'm starting to wonder if it even is Nikki...) were fighting, hoping to see a familiar face. Instead I see this;
Vi (Thank goodness) facing off with a red masked (turtle?), weapons drawn. (Can I take back that thank goodness?)
"And why is my wing all patched up?" I pause to look around the room "and while I'm asking questions, who in the name of hell are you?"
A tall turtle (yeah gonna go with turtle) in blue speaks up.
"I'm Leo, this is Donnie," he said indicating another with a gap tooth and a purple mask, "Mikey," a turtle in orange practically bouncing off the walls, "and Raph." The one in red fighting with Vi. "You got hurt," that explained the wing, "and we brought you here." I eyed him suspiciously, but decided he was trustworthy enough.
"Vi, did anyone else get hurt?" I ask to my sister.
"No. Everyone's fine."
Then I turned to Leo. "Thanks. Like, a lot. We should go now though."
"Do you have anywhere to stay?"
"Yeah." I answered quickly.
"I call bullshit." Raph chimed in. I glare at him. "Hey I'm the one who caught you." He said simply. I open my mouth to say something back, but turn away.
"No. We don't have somewhere to stay."
"Raven!" Vi whined.
"Who has the goddamned bullet wound?" I challenge.
"You can stay here!" Says Mikey, practically lighting the room with his beaming smile.
"Just a question, but who might you be?" Asked Donnie.
"I'm Raven, this is Vi, Nikki, and Diana." I reply, avoiding backstory.
"And... Your story?" Damn.
I look to Vi. It's an understatement to say I dislike telling the story.
She takes a breath. "We were test subjects for a corporation that worked for the government and army. They wanted a precision army. That's where we came in. We were the first. I was bred to be a warrior- hence the dragon. Nikki was.. To be honest, we haven't found out what she was for. She was top secret; damn near impossible to break out to. Diana was the smart one. And Ray,"
"I'm letting you tell this your way, and you're the only person on the face of the world I would let call me Ray..."
"Ray, was, you know, leadership stuff."
"Thaaaanks."
"It was impossible to snap her out of it to." She continued.
"Wait, snap out of what?" Raph asked.
I fall back on the couch and screech, sitting back up after I feel a searing pain in my wing.
"I was under some kind of mind control thing or whatever." I say offhandedly.
"No.. That's not a whatever situation.." Donnie says. I look up at him "if it wasn't dealt with right, it could still have some affect on you."
"It was dealt with just fine." I snap back. "Sorry." I say, "didn' mean that."
"It's fine." He says smiling a little.
Time skip- three hours, 9:00
"Ok, here's the bathroom, kitchen, living room, and there's an extra bedroom over there. Four beds." Leo pointed to everything in order.
"Sleeeeeep oveeerrrr!" Nikki screamed jumping up and down. I laugh and look at my sisters before we join in the jumping and screaming, even Violet. We rushed into the room. There was a bunk bed, a twin on the left, and a twin behind both.
"I call the one in the back! I so so so call it!" I yell jumping up.
"Top bunk!" Nikki said climbing up.
"Bottom." Vi said falling back on to it.
"And that leaves that to me." Diana. A knock on the door. I opened it.
"Brought extra blankets. Gets kinda cold." Mikey said behind a mountain of colorful blankets.
"Thanks." I said as he dumped them on the bed.
"Oh, yeah, umm there's lights in there too, if you wanna hang them up." He said over his shoulder as he left.
"Let's build a fort! Cmon lets be children!" Nikki says leaning back over the bunk. I pick up a blanket from the top and throw it at her.
Time skip- three hours forty five minutes, 12:45
The fort was awesome. A purple blanket draped over my bed and Diana's, connecting to just above Nikki's, but I'll leave most of it to your imagination. Everyone had long since fallen asleep, and I was left to stare up at blue icicle lights. I open the door and peer out into the hall. It's dark. Damn, I hate the dark. I hate to be all girly, but I scramble down the hall, not really sure where I'm going. I slam into something and squeak with my eyes squished shut. I feel a hand on my back.
"What you running from?"
"Oh for god's sake Raph." I say sighing in relief.
"Why're you running?"
"Why do you care?" I can practically feel him smirking. Wait.. Speaking of feel, I step away from him.
"Well, when a girl comes squeaking down the hallway, I generally want to know why." He responded coolly. (If he had added in a 'pretty' in that sentence it would've been a pickup line... Why am I THINKING this?!)
And suddenly I wish I hadn't stepped away. "I.. It's just.. Couldn't sleep."
"You're a shitey liar, and if you're not really a shitey liar, just not believable, there's a place that I go when I can't sleep."
"Good to know. Now I need to go sleep."
"Do you want me to show you?"
"I have literally no reason to trust you."
"So?"
I looked up at him. "Can I trust you...?"
"That's really your decision."
"Ok.. I guess I'll trust you.."
"Ok." He starts to turn me around.
"What're you doing?" I say, turning back to him.
"I have to blindfold you."
"What? No!"
"It's my secret spot! We can't have anyone finding out about it,"
After a second I turn around. "You know I can't see anything anyways."
"So that's why you were running," he puts the blindfold over my eyes. "Remember. You trust me." He whispers to me. I nod.
"So not why I was running."
"Blindfolds do not improve you're lying skills." He braces my shoulders and starts to walk. "So why don't you tell me why you're really running." I stop moving and he walks into me.
"Why do you keep ASKING this?"
"I will leave you here."
"H..HEY!"
"Aha! You're afraid."
"Don't leave me here.." I say turning to him.
He rubbed my shoulders a little. "I won't." He kept walking and leading me along. Soon we stopped. He took off the blindfold.
It was a little room with a radio and a worn out blue couch, and a pile of blankets and books in the corner.
"This is your big secret?"
"When you have three annoying brothers, you value any space you have." I pick up a blanket and wrap myself up in it, and curl up in the corner. Raph turned on the radio.
''Nothing more than strangers
Passing by out on the street
Memories are fading though
It's only been a week
All the little things are gone
The things we used to be
Nobody could take us down
There was only you and me''
"Strangers.. By Seven Lions." I whisper.
"Wow. What'd you do, memorize all the top songs?"
"Ha ha. Really friggin funny." I smirk at him.
"I haven't seen you smile yet.. Why?"
My smirk vanishes. "Yeah. No. Add that to the list of things I won't tell you."
"I show you to my secret hideout, and you won't even tell me anything."
"I'm secretive."
"No shit!" We fall silent to the sound of the radio. Another song switches on.
"I should go back to bed." I say getting up.
"No no.. Stay here." He says motioning with his hand.
"Ok."
