Broken Souls
I do not own teenage mutant ninja turtles and their characters, places and personalities. I do however own the characters Maria, Leaha, Ally and Anna. Those are of my original thoughts. Thankyou

Ally felt the breathe she had been holding release in relief as Raph came into the room looking flustered and slightly concerned.
"You were screaming…" he said a little breathlessly.
'I'm sorry I was just having a nightmare." she explained with a slight smile, flattered at her rescuers expression of pure embarrassment.
"Umm…sorry um I think you should put on…um", he went even redder then Ally thought was even possible is green skin now turning into a strange purple colour…then she looked down.\
"Holy crap! Omgosh so so sorry!", Ally exclaimed realising that her bottom half was entirely bare except for a clean pair of undies that she was sure one of the other girls received for her…the girls…where were they?
Hastily donning a pair of jeans gently over her bandage, Ally turned to Raph who had composed himself enough to answer her without blushing furiously again.
"Where's Leaha, Anna and Maria raph?
"Oh their fine we managed to get them all home in one piece. You were the only one injured physically, though I'm pretty sure you are all pretty messed up after what those disgusting leaches did to you. If I was there with Leo, that guy would be dead and…."Raph muttered dark thoughts under his breath, his fists clenching together in anger.
Ally tensed and refrained herself from entering that moment again, afraid she may never escape it. Ally shuddered involuntarily. Raph pulled her close in a warm, gentle hug. For the second time in her life she felt safe. The first time was with Eric when he was….
"No Ally deep breathes. Be strong. You gotta be strong for the girls," Ally whispered to herself not expecting Raph to hear her.
Raph however did and while tightening his grip around her lulled
"It's not your fault. You don't have to look after them now. You got me to lean on Ally. I will always be here for you, ok."
Ally didn't reply in words, instead letting a sob escape her thought, followed by salty tears that adventured down her cheeks dripping onto Ralph's arm.
How long they stood like that Ally couldn't tell. The pain from many years flew down her face, while her saviour rubbed her back comfortly to help ease her pain. When she stopped crying, Raph let go and left the room bringing back a warm, wet cloth to erase any evidence of her tears.
Ally smiled in gratitude and hoarsely asked
"Can I see the girls now?"
Raph nodded slowly and after washing her face escorted her out of her room.
They walked laboriously down a long, plain corridor that quite reminded Ally of an old antique store, with pieces of ancient pots and helmets strewn decoratively around the hallway. Raph's musky odour made it easy to comfort and clear painful memories from her mind as she hobbled down the corridor.
Even before Ally reached the end she was bombarded with a big hug from an enthusiastic red-head.
"Oh Anna, I'm so glad your ok." Ally said with a sense of relief and happiness.
"You did it Ally. You got us out of that mess. You got us away from the foot clan." and with that Anna promptly burst into tears. Being the youngest she was the most homesick and quickly latched onto Ally as her big sister.
Ally smiled down at the weeping red-head who was leaning on her so much that Raph had been forced to make a 'group hug' effort to stop Ally from falling over. Ally peered over the assortment of arms and mass of red hair to survey her surroundings. It was a large open space, quite cosy but also smelly very strongly of pizza. Ally's mouth watered at the prospect. American pizza was famous; you could apparently only eat two pieces and be full afterwards the slices were that big.
A large, brown couch was in the middle of what Ally presumed was the living room with three other turtles and Leaha and Maria all seated on it beaming at her. Her cheeks grew hot from their stares and she covered her face promptly with Anna's vibrant hair.
Leaha laughed, causing Anna and Ally to look up in astonishment. They had never heard her laugh, then again none had them had laughed in three years, but there was Lee her beautiful round face framed with luscious chocolate brown hair squeaking rather like a mouse! Ally let out a pearl of laughter, startling herself with the sound, but not stopping as Lee's laughter grew higher and more crazed. Soon everyone all joined in with one turtle with an orange bandana pretending to conduct them like they were all an orchestra. This only caused everyone to laugh even harder. Ally felt Raph's grip tighten and she looked at him, tears of a different kind streaming down her face. Raph's face alight with happiness and a loving smile caused Ally to feel something stir deep inside her that she hadn't felt in a very long time.
Perhaps there was hope after all.
Maybey she would find happiness here and Raph confirmed her thought by kissing her lightly on the forehead.
