Not thirty seconds into my escapade did my T-phone blare out that annoying ring tone.
"T-phone, activate hands free mode, Yello?"
"Raph where the hell are you? I told you to bring up the rear! We head out and when I go to look for you you're not even where you're supposed to be, guarding the back!" Leo's voice exploded from the small device strapped to my waist.
"Woah woah, ice your shell bro, I went ba-….had to, um...an errand er, yes an errand to go do- to run." I cringed, I was so bad at lying to my brothers.
"An errand! Are you nuts!? We need you back at the lair asap, we have a LOT to talk about! Hall shell Raphael and you are in BIG trouble and-" I cut his off.
"BIG TROUBLE? BIG TROUBLE?! Who- who da you think you are? I'm not some two year old kid who just wrote on the walls! Imma grown mutant reptile who just almost killed three gang members and is takin' up the responsibility of what my half-wit scary brothers were too chicken to do!" I froze remembering that I had just yelled over a barely conscious, traumatized, unresponsive, badly injured girl. My previously building anger fizzled out.
"Exactly! You are not two years old, I shouldn't even have to be making this call because if you were as old as you claimed to be you would have followed orders and would be tailing us right this minute."
I ground my teeth, "As I said before, I'm runnin' an errand and takin' care of my half-wit scary brother's responsibility." Leo began to say something else but I cut him off one more time, "I'll be home in thirty minutes, don't wait up. T-phone, hang up"
At the moment I felt like sliding down a wall and then burying my head in my arms like those angsty teens do on TV. So much for being a grown mutant reptile. I smiled or something like that. Leo probably hated me right now. Mickey is probably afraid of me. Donny, I think he's just disappointed. I sighed I felt like punching a wall I was so confused about everything. I was so mad at those purples punks. And I mean that's totally natural right? They wreak havoc all over this part of town and we're always battling them, but seeing them defile this girl. I looked down at her, the T-phone light didn't shine on her so I wasn't able to really grasp any of her features, but I was able to see that she didn't have her eyes closed. "Hey, hey!" You didn't respond, I waved my hand in her face, she didn't even attempt to follow it with her hand. Donnie was right, she was in a trance state. Poor girl.
I growled.
She was the reason I was in this mess. Then again it's not her fault. But then again again, why was she out this late anyway. Doesn't she know a dame like her is fresh meat on this side? I shook my head and then remembered that mural. Had she done all that? It was amazing. It was so colorful and vibrant the colors seemed to jump off the wall and tell a story. It was so intricate and mesmerising, it hadn't fully dried either but it was still rather amazing. Too bad, part of the mural had been smeared, some of the paint remained on her hair from when she slid down the wall. Blue and orange mingled into her hair making her seem kind of like a work of art. I rolled my eyes, when did I become an art aficionado?
The journey was silent, except for my sloshing through water. The lack of sounds let me stew in my thoughts and I only grew more enraged and depressed. My steps started to slow as I was getting closer to the crib. I let the knot in my stomach be my anger instead of the apprehension I know was eating at me. I began counting my steps to calm my "rage".
One
Two
Three
Four
Fi- "mmph"
I almost jumped out of my shell, it had been so quiet. I wasn't hearing this was I? No, I guess not. The girl started shifting around. She released herself from the tight ball she'd been rolled into.
"Mrph"
My eye bugged, WAS SHE WAKING UP!? NOW OF ALL TIMES?!
"Um um" I started panicking. "Um shhhh, go-O to sleep, it's ok, you're ok, just go back to sleep, shhhh." I don't know what I was doing, it's not like she was asleep in the first place, she had her eyes open and she was unblinking for 20 minutes, that wouldn't be considered asleep. I very slowly closed her eyes, she wasn't fully "awake" and she didn't seem too aware of her surrounding. I shifted her weight around so I wasn't irritating her wounds. Once I assumed she was settled I booked it for the lair.
Nearing the final corner she started to snap out of it, she started shifting around a lot more. Turning the corner I stumble down the steps into home sweet home. I quickly vaulted over the gate. "Guys! Come quick!" they were all lounging around on the sofa as Leo paced. "Raph! Where the hell have you been!?" Leo screamed.
Nun pov
Donnie, Mikey, and Leo scurried over to Raph. Leo leading and Mikey tailing behind wearily. " Leo not now, we need to help this girl!" Leo's eyes graced over the you and his anger spiked off the charts. "Raphael! What are you thinking?! Didn't I say we couldn't bring this girl! What is master Splinter going to say? See you never list-"
"What am I going to say about what?" A voice piped walking up from behind them. "Ahhh master! Raphael disobeyed a direct order and brought someone to the lair" Leo babbled as his blood began to freeze over. "An injured person may I add sensei! She needs help and she's seriously banged up!"
"I see, and where did you find her?"
All the brothers froze. Raphael lowered his head and finally saw the features of the girl he was juggling. You had your eyes scrunched up and you seemed uncomfortable. You became restless and Raphael began silently panicking "Sensei can we discuss this later, I think she's waking up!"
" Alright Raphael, please quickly let's take her Donatello's laboratory."
"Thank you sensei!" Raph breathed relieved. He pushed past his family and quickly made his way to the lab. Donnie cleared his bed (which was located in the lab in the far right corner) and Raph as gently as he could layed the you there. "Um guys can we get a sheet or something, pLeAse?"
The turtles blushed deeply when they took into account the lack of clothes on the unidentified you. Mickey Swifty dropped a blanket over you, all the while keeping a hand over his eyes.
Everyone crowded around just as your eyes began to flutter.
"Mmph"
"She's awake!"
"Shhhh quiet down Mikey!"
"Hey hey I can't see!"
"Guys just back up give her some space…"
What the actual hell
Voices were murmuring, one was kinda dorky, the other childish, one was gruff, one didn't seem too pleased.
Again. What the hell you thought
Ow, ow ow
Your shoulder and rib were throbbing and your head felt like a nail was being hammered into it with every heartbeat. Breathing seemed difficult and it was as if you were being revived from the dead.
Your head started to clear and you blinked your eyes open. Everything was blurry but the majority of your vision was swarmed by different greens.
"Guys back up, let her breathe." the harsh voice whispered. You winced it was so loud and the lights were too bright, you half just wanted to go back to sleep.
You blinked your eyes a few times and the green smudge or smudges began to take shape. Shaking your head to clear it you went to sit up. You were stopped however, by two hands and a gravely voice, "Hey, take it easy!" One hand rested on your shoulder holding what you assumed was a blanket in place. The other was placed on your back and both were guiding you to lay down again.
Who the hell is…
Looking to your left you were met with a green thing, with eyes.
"AAAAAHHH" you had slammed myself into the wall behind you. Your head also bounced against the wall and your shoulder and rib flared up in pain. You groaned aloud as you tried to get your wits about you.
Raphael was just as frightened as the you were. He and his brothers recoiled with your terrifying screeches. Mickey had latched onto Donnie's shell and wrapped his leg around him. Donnie was too preoccupied by trying to calm his breathing to really care.
"Who- who- WHAT ARE YOU? WHERE AM I?" You began to spout off rapid fire questions in a piercing squawk. You noticed your semi nakedness and grasped for the blanket you felt earlier. It was currently in the hands of the green thing from before. Tears pricked your eyes as you tried to cover yourself. Your wounds never ceased in their torment on your body. You curled in on yourself and turn your partially exposed body away from it.
This was too much, just way too much, you felt sick as a migraine began to engulf your mind.
This was a dream, just a dream
The building tears spilled over and down your face.
If it was a dream the rolling bile in your throat wouldn't be stinging your esophagus in that acidic way.
Just a dream
You begged yourself to believe as you hunched over and spilled the entirety of you stomach contents on what your hysteric mind assumed to be a bed. The same voices as before rose into an uproar. The wretches rocked your entire body. You struggled to stay up as you balanced on your knees and one arm, the other still trying to hold your bra in place.
Through your wretches something akin to a blanket was placed over you. You flinched looking left seeing another green creature. Again you stumbled back, but this time it was more as if you sagged against the wall to your right. Puke framed your mouth as your glazed eyes danced to the left once more. This time four of the green things were in view and what seemed to be a giant rat. Looking back at the green creatures they resembled...turtles?
"Turtles?" Your voice crackled out.
"Actually, we are mutant turtles" piped the tallest one.
Your fingernails gripped the sheets. They talked…
"Oh, so I've lost my mind ha, ha ha HAHAHAHAHA" your hysteric laughter led into a coughing fit which morphed into dry heaving.
"Woah woah, take it easy!" The first turtle said. You attempted to calm down but you were already at your wit's end. The tallest turtle walked over and you flinched back. "Hey, it's ok I just got you some water." He passed you a cold bottle of water and quickly slipped back in line with the other. Your heaving subsided and you rocked back onto your butt. The sheet that covered you was massive so you didn't really worry about your body being exposed. Cracking open the bottle you guzzled half of the water and used the ready to get the taste of vomit out of and around your mouth.
After that it was just this heavy silence of you breathing heavy and the turtles analyzing your every move.
The almost forgotten giant rat spoke up softly, "What is your name my dear?" Your eyes restricted is surprise and fear, the rat talked too?
"No, your names first…" your abused throat ground out.
" I see how rude of us," spoke The giant rat, "Please call me Splinter"
"Splinter…"you echoed still trying to think straight.
"My sons, please introduce yourselves."
Sons?
The tallest one who had handed you the water spoke first, "Hello, I'm Donatello." He was the geeky voice I heard earlier, and he wore a purple bandana.
The one that stood behind him was a much lighter green and wore an orange bandana, "I'm Mickey! I hope we can hang dudette!" He was rather adorable if you were honest with yourself.
So dorky and adorable. These new personalities were racking up. First April and Casey now these...what evers? What was next?
"Hi." You were snapped out of your thoughts when the one with the blue bandana and blues eyes stepped forward, "I'm Leonardo or Leo for short."
Well he was brief and didn't seem too pleased.
The fourth and final turtle took a step up, "I'm Raph." He wore a red bandana and had these crazy green eyes. He was the shortest of them but something in his eyes told you he had a massive personality. He gave off this distant vibe and you were a little curious.
A silence fell over all of them and they stared at you expectantly. "Oh." You blushed a little "Um…"
"Your name." stated the one in blue, Leo.
You paused but this night had been crazy enough so you threw caution to the wind and told them your name was, "Ymir" (I know some of y'all's names ain't Ymir but ya just lied to their faces so deal wif it)
"Ymir…" trailed the orange one.
"Alright Ymir" spoke Splinter "How did you and my son's meet?"
BOOM BOOM BOOM I WANT YOU IN MY ROOM!
JK this song was just stuck in my head. So here's a cliffy to just make you mad. Have a good day/ night
PLEASE REVIEW SO I KNOW WHERE TO TAKE THIS STORY!
