You Found Me

Chapter 12: Confession of the Hearts

Hello hello hello!!! Alright, here is the next chapter and I was super excited to write this one. In the last chapter I said that this one would be special and I would love to tell you why that is, but that wouldn't be fun would it? So you're just going to have to read it and see why. As usual, I do not own TMNT, but I will love them, I own my OCs. Enjoy:)

A Few Days Later...

Verena's P.O.V.:

"Nothing feels different, sensei." I tell him meditating on my nightmare.

For the past few days Master Splinter has had me meditate every morning after I wake up from having another nightmare. At first I had a hard time maintaining my focus, but once he helped me ease my mind it was easier to control what I see. Besides that the guys have helped by talking over what I see and if there are any differences that can be spotted, but so far there hasn't been any. Either way it does help me a big deal so I won't keep it bottled in. However, as much as all of this helps, it feels like we are not getting any closer to solving this nightmare. I'm starting to get upset until Master Splinter came near me.

"Focus, Verena. Tell me, what do you see?" He asked gently.

"I-I see a light near the Shredder." I said keeping my focus on it, "It's floating pass him towards me."

"Please, continue."

"It's showing me something..." I try to look closer, "I-I can't make it out." It vanishes into thin air, "It is gone." I tell him opening my eyes and looking at him, disappointed with myself.

"Do not be upset, Verena, it will come again." He said putting a comforting hand on my shoulder, and his face looked curious, "Have you seen that light before?"

I thought about it and realize this is the first time noticing it, "No, not until this one."

"Hmm... whatever is in the light must be important." He said.

"Yes. Unfortunately we don't know what it is." I remind him.

"Then we must wait until you have it again."

I nod in agreement.

"Verena."

"Yes, sensei."

"There is something that I have been meaning to discuss with you." He said looking a bit cheerful.

"Oh? What about?" I ask him and I wonder what I did.

"I wish to discuss about you and Leonardo." He said.

"Oh Gods." I thought and I feel my cheeks get warm.

"What are your feelings toward my son?" He asked looking at me closely.

I'm at a loss for words as he threw me off guard, "Well... I-I... um..."

"Do not be afraid of telling me, my dear. All I am asking of you is to be honest." Master Splinter said smiling.

"Just tell him." I tell myself and take a deep breath, "Well, let me start off with saying that all of your sons are amazing and they are great warriors. However...," My heart started to race, "with Leo, I-I feel all these different emotions that I thought I would never have. He is a gentleman, strong, kind, patient; he makes me smile whenever I am sad or upset. We have a great time when we are together, whether we do anything or not. Leo can accept me for who I am and he likes me both on the outside and the inside, even if I am a princess; he likes me for me. Master Splinter..., I am in love with Leo, more than anyone will ever know; it doesn't matter if he's a turtle or not because I love him for who he is."

Master Splinter looks deep into my eyes and smiles, "My dear, there is no doubt in my mind that your love for my son is true. Your affection for Leonardo shows with every word that you speak of him. If you do love him then you should tell him how you feel."
