Like the story so far? Well here's another chapter for you lovely readers :)
Still in Demi's POV :D
Chapter two - Hurt and Comfort
For what seemed like hours, was probably a few minutes. But finally three shadowed figures appeared from no-where. Taking no chances i jumped up and stood in a defensive stance in front of Raphael. If someone wanted to hurt him, they'd have to go through me first. The figures got closer and i realized that they looked the same as Raphael except they were all different heights and wore different colour bandannas with different weapons. I heard Raphael groan and i whipped my head round and was instantly by his side. He had a bit of a temperature which worried me even more. Before i knew it one figure got too close for comfort and I grabbed it's wrist and flipped him. The two other figures ran towards us. One stopped Raphael and the other hastily walked closer to me.
"Demi is it? It's me Leonardo" the figure said. My eyes widened instantly. Shit!
"Oh!" was all i could muster up at the moment
"And this is Donatello" He pointed to a very tall purple-clad turtle with a cute gap in his teeth, who was inspecting Raphael. "And the one you flipped is Michelangelo" Leonardo then pointed to the orange-clad turtle still flat on his back, or shell.
"Heh... Sorry about that" I said walking over to the young turtle "Reflexes"
"No problem dudette, but would ya mind helping me up?" he had a goofy grin on his face that made me smile, helping him up i noticed he had baby-blue eyes and cute little freckles on his face, you could tell he was the youngest of the group. After helping him up he bolted off to Donatello.
Walking back to my bags I shivered a little. It was still pouring it down and if anything it had gotten heavier. Great, just great! I was soaked through and exhausted. Been awake since half 4 this morning and its like half 11 right now! Donatello and Michelangelo were still next to Raphael wrapping temporary bandages on his beaten green body. I sat down not caring how wet the rooftop was and replayed in tonight's events again in my head. I'd gone from a 'normal' girl to socializing with giant turtles! Wow my life is soooo messed up! I then saw Leonardo walking towards me. He sat next to me and sighed.
"How's Raphael?" I decided to ask, it was better than sitting in an awkward silence.
"Not good" he replied pulling his knees to his chest and resting his head on his knee pads. I honestly felt sorry for this turtle, he must find this really hard.
Wrapping my arm around his shell i said in a soft voice "Hey, He's gonna be okay" before i knew it he wrapped his arms around me giving me a hug. I could tell him and his brothers didn't hug as much as brothers should by the way he was hugging me. He needed comfort. And I am here for him. I know we've only just met but i feel like I've known these guys for years, like I had been friends with them since the minute I was born. I gently hugged the blue-clad turtle back and made sure he was alright before pulling away. By the look on his face he was trying hard not to break down. It made me want to reach out and hold him again but I didn't. I then looked up to see Donatello and Michelangelo carrying Raphael and moving towards the fire escape. Leonardo then stood up and followed them. I didn't want them to go. Who knows if I'd ever see these guys again. I don't want to say goodbye, not just yet.
Leonardo beat me to the chase "Do you want a lift home?"
"Well i actually don't have a home, hence the bags" I replied signaling to my luggage on the slightly flooded rooftop. I couldn't help but feel ashamed that i didn't have a home. Suddenly i gentle yet big hand was on my shoulder. Leonardo was stood in front of me with a warming look on his green face. We spoke for a minute about my housing arrangements and he suggested that maybe I could go back with them, but i had to promise not to freak out when I see their 'father'. I don't know why i would freak. I'e already seen the turtles so their father would look like them, right?
He led me to an ally with a super cool subway car there. They call it the Shellraiser. Hmmm catchy. It was covered in cool graffiti, and doodles. The wheels were huge but not too big if you know what i mean. Inside was just amazing! There were different things to do inside; driver, navigator, weapons, scientist bit and then a bed- probably doctor instead of scientist. We all pilled in and sped off. Leonardo sure does drive fast! On the way i learned that the turtles have nicknames; Leonardo (blue mask, two katana blades) is called Leo, he is the eldest of the four and the leader. Raphael (red mask, two sais) is called Raph, he is second eldest and the hothead. Donatello (purple mask, bo staff) is called Don or Donnie, he is the third eldest and he is the smartest. Michelangelo (orange mask, two nunchuks) is called Mikey, he is the youngest and the funniest. I thought things would begin to get better but obviously not. Raph's condition began to get worse, so Leo drove even faster. I saw the look in their eyes. They defiantly knew something i didn't and weren't planning on telling me anytime soon. I know i have only known these guys a few hours but I've grown to like them. It's just i'm not sure if I should tell them about my you-know-what. Powers...
Soon my eye lids began to get heavy. I tired to fight it but i ended up falling asleep anyway. I stirred and awoke in Leo's arms. He was carrying me to a room where i could stay. He put me down on the bed and Mikey brought my still wet bags in. Before i could blink Donnie was in the room too. I felt really embarrassed.
"Sorry" I yawned "Must have fallen asleep in the Shellraiser".
"Don't be sorry" Donnie said "You've had a long day by the looks of things"
"Its very late too" Mikey added
"Just get some rest" Leo finished
Just then another figure walked in . It was not a turtle but a giant rat!. He was taller than the turtles and was wearing a red kimono that had a black symbol on it. He also had a green staff with him and something told me he didn't need it for walking. Hi sfir was brown with a few white highlights. He stood next to the bed.
"Oh Demi this is Master Splinter. He is our sensei and our father" Leo introduced
"He...he's a..." I couldn't bring myself to finish the sentence
"I can see it in your eyes that you are frightened" the rat's voice was surprisingly gentle "There is no need to fear me, i will not harm you and neither will my sons. I wish to thank you for alerting us about Raphael's condition. Without you I fear we would have been to late"
"It's okay, and I would like to thank you for your hospitality" i replied in amazement. Master Splinter bowed his head and walked away. He called the turtles away to let me rest. I smiled and opened my suitcase, surprisingly everything remained dry. I changed into a tank top and basketball shorts before crawling into bed. I sank into the fluffy pillow and drifted off knowing that I have just made some friends for life. Maybe my life isn't as weird as i thought.
Hey guys so what do you think so far please R&R, chapter 3 coming soon :)
