Mystery from His Past
Ch 2
While he slept he heard her voice.
'Leonardo how could you let me die? We were through so much together.'
He woke up sweating bullets and buried his head in his hands. Then he cried once again.
'Stop haunting me! There was nothing I could've done to save you! Just leave me alone!'
He looked and her spirit stared right at him moving slowly toward his bed. He gulped and jumped up. Then he closed his eyes and counted to 10. He looked up and sighed when there was no one but him in the room. He lay back down and closed his eyes falling asleep instantly as his head hit his pillow. Raph heard him in his room and woke up. He entered his room and covered his elder brother with the comforter and sighed. Then he closed his door quietly and entered his own room falling asleep instantly as his fan blew above his head.
He checked on everyone in their rooms and snuck out quietly. Using the shadows he headed toward the museum and stared at the urn as tears stung his eyes. He got in undetected and read the writing on the sides that stated.
'If by any chance the emperor was wrong about a spirit on the full moon every 5 years the spirit can escape if it is capable of tracking down its true body. But it won't be tolerated to try to attempt to raise the spirit because it could very well be a disaster!'
He looked at his watch and sighed as he stared up at the moon. Then he watched as the cover popped up and her spirit arose from the urn.
"Leonardo if I am successful I will find you! On this 18th year you and your brothers will be granted with something no ninja so young could possibly handle! Farewell Leonardo I promise we will meet once again!!"
He gulped and backed up as her lips blew a kiss toward his way and smiled. After her spirit vanished the urn sealed itself once again as it glowed in the display glass. He snuck back to the lair and looked at his clock on his nightstand. Then he set it for 7:30am and fell asleep once again as his fan blew above his head, allowing him to sleep soundly through the remainder of the night.
The next morning he was awaken by his alarm and took a hot shower; wondering if he dreamt seeing Lotus and about her speaking to him. Then as the water hit his body he closed his eyes and tried to reminisce on what was said the night before. As he closed his eyes it was all a blur and he sighed.
'I knew it was too good to be true. I just have to accept that she's gone and we can never be together again! What we shared years ago is nothing but memories hidden in the back of my mind still holding on to something no longer there! I must force myself to move on and stop thinking about her! I also need to figure out how I'll spend my day today with friends and family!'
His brothers watched as he exited his room and said.
"Umm bro dad wants to see you in the dojo."
He looked and gulped then he entered the dojo and asked.
"Sensei you wanted to see me? About last night I'm sorry for sneaking out, but she is haunting me."
Splinter looked and bowed.
"My son she will haunt you until her spirit can be freed back to the world. She's reaching out to you my son because she knows that you would've saved her if you could. That's not why I called you in here my son, sit and listen to me."
He sat and listened to his father as he spoke.
"My son you and your brothers are rare. From sources I can't reveal to you I heard that you 4 are not only mutant turtles but Mystic Ninjas as well. Your brothers and you have the same power as does Karai with the heart of tengu. The only thing is I can't teach you how to use them my son. When you 4 receive your powers you must learn how to use them and have control."
He looked at him puzzled.
"What powers and when are we supposed to receive them? I turned 18 already, will there be signs or will we just receive them?"
Splinter shrugged and responded.
"My son I have no idea when you will receive them. Oh yea Angel wants you to move her lesson earlier than tonight at 7pm."
Leo looked and said.
"Ok Sensei I'll call her and see what time she wants to move her lesson to. Bye Sensei and thank you again."
He watched as his eldest son exited the dojo and sighed. He watched as Leo's door slammed behind him as he entered his room. Then he entered the kitchen and looked at his sons.
"Ok my sons as soon as your brother leaves we continue setting up for his surprise party. Donatello after he leaves call April and Casey and tell them it's safe to come here."
He nodded his head and smiled.
"Yes Sensei I'll do that. I'm still waiting for Raph and Mike to get back with the decorations."
Leo sat on his bed and dialed Angel's shell cell and she answered.
"Hey Leo sorry about asking you to move up my lesson, but I have somewhere to be tonight. Is it possible the lesson can be at 1:30pm? I'm so glad that Master Splinter allowed you to be my Sensei, you're an amazing fighter and so skilled. Oh yea Happy 18th birthday how have you been feeling?"
He sighed as he responded.
"I've been thinking a lot lately. Sure Angel 1:30pm it is, see ya then Leo out."
He hung up his shell cell and closed his eyes and sighed. He still wondered if he really saw Lotus last night in the museum or just imagined it. It's hopeless; I was in love with her so long ago and just can't let her go even though she's been dead for 5 years now."
Around 1:00 pm Leo left the lair and went to meet Angel. When he arrived Angel was standing there warming up as she waited for him to arrive. She looked up when she heard him approaching and smiled at him.
"Hi Leo I'm ready for the lesson. So how does it feel being 18? Are you happy that you're officially an adult?"
He smiled and nodded.
"Yea you could say that Angel. Shall we begin? Remember what I taught you about always being on guard. Let's review some of the moves I taught you for blocking an enemy trying to get you off guard."
