There was silence through out the whole lair. No voices or any signs of life. Helena was stuck staring up at the ceiling thinking of her conversation with Donatello.
She was also thinking of whats going to happen to her once all her wounds heal. Where will she go? Does she even have a home to go after she was back in good health.
The ceiling was fairly clear as she stared. Donatello's room was really neat and tidy. She was kind of glad for that staring at the clean space. When she noticed a picture at the far corner. She picked up the picture seeing Donatello and April O'Neil.
'She's really pretty..' She thought staring at the picture. Her heart felt a little crushed as she put the photo down.
'there is no way, I'm any match for someone as pretty as her, I shouldn't even think about love its over rated' she thought hopping of the bed.
'who needs it! I don't, I really don't, I'm just jelous aren't I? ' she thought feeling down with herself. The hours grew long as she was alone in her room waiting for Donatello.
When she was just about to go to sleep the door to his room opened up.
"Helena?" Donatello called pushing the door opened.
Her eyes opened up hearing his voice.
"hey, how are you feeling?" Donatello asked.
"sorry I was gone for so long" he reached up to him with her good and bad arm.
Donatello blinked as her hand touched his neck then his cheek. Her arms wrapping around him.
"welcome home Donnie" She said to him. His entire face flushed red.
"I'm glad to be home" he admitted wrapping his arms around her tiny frame.
He kissed her on the forehead.
"let me change your bandages" Donatello requested.
"Okay" Helena smiled at him. That made him stare at her.
"your smile is so beautiful.." he said with out thinking.
"huh?" Helena flushed bright red from his words.
His large green hands touching her soft cheeks. She didn't move away from his touch or pushed him. She just stared at him with her purple eyes. There was a little shine to them compared to the dull ones from the first time he's seen her. He was mesmerized by them he leaned forward.
Helena face had instantly flared up. Her heart started to pump hundred time more faster the closer Donnie leaned forward.
"D-" it was even harder to speak as she was at the foot of his bed. There lips would of collide if it weren't for the door opening.
Michelangelo was about to say something. When he stared at the position Donatello was in with Helena. She was holding herself up with her good arm. Donatello was kind of leaning down on her in between her legs. She felt extremely embarrased.
"am I intruppting something?" Mikey had to ask. Donatello finally came to his senes. He flushed red backing away from her.
"Nope not intruppting anything at all, ha ha, infact I was just going to um fix something in my lab, here Mikey you bandage her up" Donatello said given him the first aid kit before slamming his door shut.
Helena was still a flustered mess as she looked at the floor. There was a long awkward silence between her and Mikey.
"he was about to kiss you wasn't he?" he said breaking the silence. Helena put her head on her knee's.
"I think so..." She admitted refusing to look at Mikey. Who walked over to her. He sat on the bed opening the medical kit.
He started bandaging her wounds.
"Do you like my brother?" he asked.
"I don't know, he's doing so much for me, I just, Its hard, I don't know what I feel Mikey, after everythings thats happened my heart its just, I'm so confused" she admitted.
"you weren't going to stop him were you?" Mikey said.
"..." she flushed bright red.
"your righ I wasn't.." She admitted looking at the ground.
"I'm done patchjng you up" Mikey smiled.
"thank you, Mikey" Helena smiled.
"no problem, your practically family now" Mikey said to her.
"I guess your right" She smiled.
"well, I'm going to go see whats up with Donnie, you should get some rest, see you" Mikey left the room.
"bye" she waved as Mikey left the room. He shut the door as Helena looked at her bandages. She looked at the sling her arm was in for a short time. She tried moving her arm.
'hey, I can move my arm, a bit better, it doesn't hurt as much anymore' she thought to herself getting off the bed. She waited for a little bit before coming out of the room. She walked into main area where the brothers usually hang out.
Only to find a giant alligator laying on the ground.
"isn't he so adorable and peaceful?" Mikey said.
"thats because he's out cold" Leonardo said looking at the big Allligator.
Donatello had chains.
"What are those for?" Mikey frowned.
"Whats going on?" Helena asked. The four looked at Helena.
"Helena.." Donnie stared at her wide eye'd.
"We saved his life! I bet the first thing he'll do is thank us" Mikey said. When the Alligator tore apart the stuffed teady bear.
"or the second thing" He said being hit by the alligator.
"Mikey!" Helena felt worried for the orange masked turtle. The alligator roared when it turn to her.
She backed away frightened. When it went charging for her.
"Helena!" Donatello kicked the Alligator away from her. Only to be grabbed by the face.
"oh come on!" He said as it switched targets to Raph. Helena backed away from the intense fight going on. She turned around to go back in the room. Only to turn around to see that the gator was knocked out again.
"What is going on here?" Splinter asked. She ran over to Donatello.
"Splinter, Mikey made us bring home an Aligator and it attacked us" Raph said.
Helena stared at the gators arm while Splinter was saying something about having compassion. She helped Donnie from being untrapped by the arms. Mikey explained what had happen.
"He grabbed me by the face Mikey! " Donnie glared.
"and almost attacked Helena" He glared even more.
"are you okay?" she asked.
"I'm fine" he thought about what he almost did earlier. That left his face turning bright red.
"uhm.." he looked away from her suddenly feeling nervous. Helena blinked looking at him innocently.
She wasn't really paying attention on what was going on tell Master Splinter gave out orders.
"Michelangelo you will find away to befriend him, Helena you will stay with me for you own protection, I want the rest of you to find what he was hiding before the Krang do" Splinter said.
"where still chaining him up right?" Donnie asked.
"of course, I am compassionate not insane" Splinter said.
"Be careful guys" Helena said as they all left except for Mikey after chaining the Alligator.
Helena looked at the gator before going into the other room where Master Splinter was sitting down.
"...how are you?" Splinter asked.
"A lot better, then when I was first found" She asnwered sitting down on the floor.
"hmm, I'm glad you are recovering" he said.
"I guess, I am to, but most of that is because of Donatello" She admitted.
"he cares deeply for you" Splinter said. Helena flushed red.
"I don't know about that, I mean he likes another girl" she sighed a little thinking of April.
"I don't think, I'm one hundred percent fully recoverd here" she pointed to her heart.
"healing of the heart takes time, it might be hard for you, but I know you will recover soon" Splinter said.
"yeah.." She leaned back on to the floor.
"I might actually like Donnie now that I think about it, but thats not something I'm prepared to face right now" Helena sighed.
Splinter looked over at her before looking towards the main area. He got up from the ground.
"wait here" He said leaving the dojo. Helena sat up as she watched Splinter leave the room.
She looked down having a memmory return of her mother. She thought about her for few minutes letting memmorie flow. She sat up after about thirty minutes. She opened the door to the dojo leaving to go into Donnies room.
She sat on the bed. Then slammed down the picture of April and Donnie.
'How long will I hide from my past?' she wondered. She laid in the bed staring at the ceiling. She turned over on the bed.
She didnt know how long it was when the door to Donnies room opend. Helena sat up looking at Donatello.
"Hey, sorry it took so long to come back" he said.
"...thats fine, is it wrong of me to take over your bed?" she asked.
"I don't really mind" He replied. That made her a sigh a little looking at the ground.
"but, its your bed and all I've been doing is sleeping on it" she poked the sheets.
"I need to find my own bed or maybe go back to my real home.." she said.
"are you crazy? Going back to your home would probably get you hurt, your still recovering for when Mikey found you" Donnie said.
"but I'm not as emotionally scared as I was when you first found me" She said to him.
"your still suffering and you haven't talked about it with anyone" Donatello said.
Helena blinked looking at him.
"Maybe its time you told some one about whats happened to you, its all about the process of healing" he said.
"as usual your right.." She admitted.
"Donnie could you come here a minute.." She asked.
"uh, sure.." He walked over to her. He sat on the bed looking at her.
She moved over to Donatello hugging him.
"it all started, when I was little I met a boy named Ryu Kaito, he became one of my best friends in my younger years, we would always spend time with each other, now that I think about it things were a lot simplier" she paused for a momment.
"well once we got older we started dating, I was really happy with him, we would always go on random dates and he would occsionally bring me my favorite colored Rose's" She smiled at the memory.
"I was so in love with him, I thought we would be spending the rest of our loves together but..." she put her head at the back of his neck tightening her hold on him.
Donnie put his arms on her for away of comfort.
"One day, I got home late from school because I had meeting being the student council president, Ryu was there waiting for me, but something wasn't quite right" she said.
"he had gotten into and argument with my parents, I was trying to figure out what was going on and what was happening" She said felt herself tearing up.
"the next thing I know, he was attacking my parents, I tried to stop him but he threw me off into the wall, I was imbolized from hitting the wall, he grabbed one of my parents knives was going after, he said if he couldn't have me then nobody else can and he charged but my father got in his way and hit him" She took a deep breathe.
"but he didn't stop, he stabbed my father and I watched in horror as he was killed right in front of me, the agonizing scream of pain didn't stop, he went after my mother who was just trying to protect meas well, there was blood every where" tears were streaming down her cheeks as she remebered everything that day.
"After they were both killed he finally went after me, I was scared for my own, I didnt understand why this was happening to me and I didn't want to die so I ran around my house trying to evade him but he caught me" She said.
"I remeber the knife to my throat the rage in his eyes, we were in the basement sweet, I thought for sure he was going to kill me but he didn't, instead he told me that I had suffer through the pains of living with out any parents and ran off leaving me alone to lie there" Helena explained.
"I was in the corner of the room, with both my dead parents some where, I was just by myself crying in the corner not knowing what to do, the cops came two hours prior and I was taken in by my aunt that day but I was broken traumatized from it all, I tried to get myself back together but I just couldn't, it was to painful for me" Helena said though her voice faltered she made herself talk.
"my aunt she started to hurt me before she blamed everything on me because of my parents murder and started to beat me to the ground every single day, I wouldn't go to school anymore cause it was to painful to even get up, Nobody really cared for me and the day I ran away was when she almost killed me.." Helena took another deep breathe but couldn't stop her tears from falling. She didn't want to explain herself any more she just wanted to cry again.
Donatello felt sad hearing her cry but he didn't stop her from crying. He turned around pulling her into a hug.
"I'm sorry, for making you go through those painful memmories again.." he said. Helena wiped her eyes shaken her head.
"its not your fault I have to let go of this, or at least try to overcome it because if I don't it will destroy me.." She sniffed.
"I'm here for you" he said.
"I know..." Helena rubbed her eyes when Donatello lifted her chin.
She blinked as he hugged her.
She held him tightly.
A couple of weeks later she was fully healed. There weren't any scars. She was pratically beaming with perfect health. It was around that time she decided she would start living her own life. That she would leave the lair and try to live on the outside world. The day came when she was leaving. She said her good byes.
"Good bye Donnie" she hugged him tightly.
"Thank you, for everything you've done for me"she said kissing his cheek. Donatello had a strong grip on her hand. She looked back at him with bright curious innocent purple eyes. He faltered letting go of her hand.
"your welcome.." He said.
"heh, calm me anytime you want Donnie, see you and I will miss all of you" She waved her hand before leaving the sewers.
"why didn't you tell her man! That was like the perfect oppurtnity!" Mikey glared.
"I couldn't ..."Donatello looked at the ground.
"I love her but, I just want her to be happy again, I don't want to hold her back on what she wants to do, she deserves better and to live out there in her world and not with me in the sewers like a caged bird.." Donnie said.
"Sometime letting your loved one go is one of the most painfuliest things to do" Splinter said walking away. Donnie nodded his head as he turned around.
"I'll be okay, I'm gonna go work on something in the lab" Donnie said walking away. Raphael , Mikey and Leo all watched him walk away. When they smiled and tackled Donnie. The time of Helena's healing had end.
