In the past couple of weeks Cindy had gotten to know the guys and splinter, they were like brothers to her. Splinter had given her a crystal necklace, it was a Verigated Marble Stone Crystal Necklace. She loved it, for a weapon she had throwing stars made by Don, a Hanwei practical Shinobi Ninja-to sword and throwing darts in a leather pack on her leg which made her victims paralysed for an hour.

For hours Mikey would tell her stories about the monsters they had to fight, the shredder, April and Casey. He had also told her about all their enemies, the shredder, stockman and how he wasn't human anymore. His brain was in a jar which was in a robotic body with spider legs.

" Ewww, that is just disgusting!" Cindy replied screwing up her face.

" Tell me about it." Mikey smiled so Cindy smiled back.

" So tell me that story again when the rat king tied you up."

" Sure, we were doing this exercise. When one of us had to tie a bandanna around our arm and hide from the others. I was it and my bros and Casey had to find me. I was hiding then the rat king hit me across the head."

Cindy nodded.

" And when I woke up I was tied to a board, then he tried to feed me to the rats. So when I escaped I met back up with my bros and we fought the rat king. "

" Yeah, then what?"

" He fell into the rats and they ate him."

" So you don't think that he could come back."

" Dunno."

" Well he could, what about the shredder, he's come back soo many times."

" I know, but we kicked his butt!" Mikey said punching the air in front of him.

Cindy giggled.

" I know, how about I tell you the time I became the Battle Nexus champion?" Mikey asked.

Cindy nodded.

" Well-"

" Mikey, just shut up." Raph said from behind them, next to him was Don was standing up.

" What's the matter Raph, jealous?" Mikey asked then laughed, Raph grunted then jumped on Mikey, they fell off the sofa and began to roll around on the floor fighting. Cindy looked up at Don who came and sat next to her,

" How often do they do this?" she asked pointing to them with her hand.

" Trust me, I've lost count." Don replied and laughed quietly.

" So how come Mikey became the Battle Nexus champion?" Cindy asked.

" Well I lost one battle, and when Splinter had to fight Mikey, Splinter let Mikey win. Leo was poisoned by the Daimio's Son. And.. Well believe it or not Raph lost against Mikey. And Mikey won against the purple monster by hitting him in the head, but he done that by accident."

" Oh I see, so he didn't really win then?"

" Nope, so he's not telling you the whole story."

" Well, why doesn't that surprise me?" Cindy asked then her and Don had a long laugh.

A few hours later Cindy was sat on a roof top alone, or so she thought. She was starring at the sunset in front of her, remembering that once she was one of those people below her trying to get home. She missed her sister terribly and really wanted to see her. Cindy knew that Danni would understand why she was like this and would probably help her, no matter what. But she knew that the guys would never let her leave the lair for longer then at least three hours, before they'd start wondering where she was.

She was sat on the floor for about ten minutes when someone came up behind her, Cindy turned around waking a grab for her darts when she saw it was Leo.

" Hi." she said and turned back around.

" What you doing here?" he asked and sat down next to her.

" Just thinking." Cindy replied.

" About what?"

" Life, how my life was and how it is now."

" Well aren't you happy?" Leo asked.

" Well I am, I love living with you guys, I love watching Raph and Mikey argue, or going out and kicking foot ninja's butt. But.."

" But?"

" I miss my sister."

" Why don't you go and see her?"

" I can't, once I see her I'll want more, a lot more." Cindy replied then stood up. " But, I'm happy with what I've got." Cindy assured him then gave him a quite cuddle before he also stood up.

" Come on, lets get back to the lair." Leo replied and was about to lead Cindy back when Bishop arrived.

" Bishop?" Cindy and Leo said at the same time.

" Yes." he said and began to walk towards them, so Leo drew his swords and Cindy drew hers.

" So, Cindy. My dear." he said, Cindy just looked at him without moving. " You will destroy the turtles."

" No." she said then jumped in the air and kicked him in the face.

" Cindy.." Leo said then robots appeared surrounding Leo " Oh shell." he said and got into a fighting stance.

" Leo." Cindy said then got out her shell cell and rang Don.

" Hello?"

" Don."

" Cindy, what's up?"

" You need to get up here now! Bishop's here!" Cindy replied.

" Right." Don said then hung up. Cindy put her Shell Cell away when Bishop kicked her in the face, Cindy fell onto the floor then swept his legs away and jumped on top of him. She picked up her sword and held it against Bishop's throat.

" You ruined my life!" she hissed.

" Go on, I know you got the killer inside of you!" he replied, Cindy just looked at him without doing anything.

Then the other turtles arrived, Don and Mikey helped Leo with the robots while Raph went over to Cindy.

" He's not worth it." Raph said trying to push her away.

" No, Raph. Leave me alone." she said then a tear rolled down her cheek, she took her sword away and held onto Raph. He hesitated for a second before he put his arms around her,

" Come on." he said, then Bishop got out a gun and was about to shot at Raph when Cindy pushed Raph out of the way and Bishop shot at Cindy. She fell onto the floor, Raph went over to her and held her above the ground,

" Cind?" he said and patted her on the cheek, her eyes were closed and she wasn't moving. Raph lead her body on the ground and pulled out his Sai's.

" If she dies, you die!" he said and lunged for Bishop. Bishop kicked him in the chest then sent him flying into Mikey who had just about finish destroying the last robot.

" Hey, easy bro." Mikey said and helped him up.

" Is Cindy going to be ok?" Leo asked putting his swords back in their cases and walking over to Cindy, Don put his Bo Staff back on his back then ran over to Cindy's still body.

" She's still breathing." he said then gently lifted her into his arms. " I need to get her back to the lair and fast." Don said,

" Ok, then lets go." Leo said and they all rushed back to the lair.

Cindy woke up in her bed, she rubbed her eyes and sat up but felt a sharp pain in her side which caused her to lye back down again. The last thing she could remember was that she pushed Raph out of the way so he wouldn't get shot. She sat up again ignoring her side and was about to get out of bed when Raph came into the room,

" Hey." he said and stood next to her bed.

" Hey." she replied but tried her best not to look into his eyes.

" Why did you do it?" he asked.

" Do what?"

" Risk yourself."

" I dunno, maybe cause it's all my fault."

" How is it your fault?" he asked.

" I don't know." Cindy replied and looked down.

" Cind, what are you scared of?"

Cindy looked up at him and gave him a hard look " Who said I was scared?" she asked.

" Bishop." Raph said ignoring Cindy's question, she just starred at him but didn't answer. Then Mikey came into the room.

" Hey Cindy."

" Hi Mikey."

" How you feeling?" he asked.

" Much better till you came in." Raph replied.

" Hey!" Mikey said and faced Raph so Raph made his hand into a fist and put it next to Mikey's face.

" Guys, please don't fight." Cindy said, they both looked at her then left the room arguing.

Cindy sighed with relief, Bishop had found her once and he could find her again. She didn't really care if he found her but she did care a lot for the guys, if Bishop did find her again the guys could get hurt, or die. She had to leave. She got up out of bed and picked up her big bag, she slowly began to collect all the stuff she needed and the stuff she wanted, even though her side was killing her . Then she wrote the guys a note telling them that she was sorry and goodbye, she looked at her watch and saw that it was quite late at night and that the guys would be in bed by now. But she decided that she'd leave it for an hour before she'd leave, but where would she go…. Then she thought of one place where she'd be welcome anytime… Danni's, her sisters.
