Hello there sorry about the lateness. Enjoy

Chapter eight: Home

Tessa's P.O.V

I accepted his hand, I am so sick and tired of running, and I needed someone to trust. I mean running in the rain from people that run around in there pyjamas that call themselves foot ninja. My Dad being one of those guys and now unfortunately they got the crazy idea that I am going to be foot ninja.

So here I am, walking along with four giant teenage mutant ninja turtles one P.E teacher that carries a golf bag full of hockey sticks and base ball bats.

Yep I am with a great group, we suddenly came to a stop and the one called Leo pulled back a man hole cover all the guys jumped in to the dark stinky sewers.

I was helped by Casey to get into the sewer tunnels. We had walked a while dim lights lighting our path along the way. After an hour and a half we came to an opening and light seemed to shine though this brick Don touched it and the wall rose off the ground. When the wall had risen fully off the ground I was awed by the site I was seeing.

It sort of looked like a normal family home there was a couch, a TV, a kitchen and six bedrooms that had Japanese style doors the only thing different was that there was a medical bay and another room that had Japanese style walls it wasn't like any of the other rooms.

"Tessa"! Someone yelled I looked to where the voice had come from. Leo called me he was in front of one the bedrooms I went over to Leo to see what he wanted. He opened the door in front of me was a small room that had a desk to the left and an office chair. In front of me was a bed with a thin brown blanket on it and a pillow next to the bed was a side table with a lamp on it on right side against the wall was a set of draws.

"This will be your room for the time being". "Its pretty average but we will get some new stuff for you".

"That's okay" I said looking at him "you don't need to go and do that. I said and looked over the room "it kind of reminds of home" I said and smile at him. "Alright then please comes with me" he said and turned around and went to that Japanese room that I saw before and oped the door. "This is a dojo it is where"… I turned and face him.

"I know what a dojo is Leo", "it is a place where you practice martial arts". "My Mum let me take a couple of classes in the school holidays. "I was only taught the basic but I know enough to defend myself on the streets" I said.

"Well" said Leo "its off limits unless one of us says that you can come in here and you will be supervised while you are in here" he said waving his hand across the room to get his point across. He makes me feel like I am a child I thought giving him a glare. He turns his back to me and walks off to another room, I follow him.

He knocks on the door. "Come in" a wise voice calls out we both enter and Leo bows in front of an old looking rat I bow too not wanting to show any disrespect towards him.

The rat gets up and bows back and sits down "please sit" says the rat I sit down and look at him he look straight back at me. I quickly take in his appearance he had golden brown hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a light brown Japanese style robe. Next to him sat a walking stick.

"My name is Master Splinter, who may you be"? "My name is Tessa Morgan's" I said. "I believe you are in some sort of trouble with the foot" he says to me.

"Seems that way doesn't it" I say smiling at him. I told him my story from the part where my Mother had died to the part where I had come here with the turtles and Casey. He listened to my story without interrupting and waited patiently until I had finished.

When I had finished he smiled at me and said "you have been though a lot please give me a little time to think about your situation". Splinter bowed his head and in return we both bow at him and walked out.

I felt much happier after that, like a weight had been lifted off my chest. I walked over to the table where everyone was sitting and eating pizza. I went and sat next to Casey he smiled at me and handed me a piece of pizza.

Casey talked to me about his life and I happily sat there listening and eating my cheesy piece of pizza. I wanted that moment to last forever I felt like I had a little piece of my life back.

Finishing dinner we got up and watched a movie called champions. But I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know arms surround me and pick me up and after a short walk puts me onto a bed pulls off my bandanna and shoes and tucks me in. "good night" someone say and closes the door.

After that I couldn't get back to sleep I get up grab the blanket and pillow off the bed and lie down on the floor, I instantly fall asleep feeling safer than I have in a long time before I went to sleep I say to myself " I am home".

The End….or is it?
