Mature Mutant Ninja Turtles (5H Version) Camren-Norminah

Chapter 16: Their Fight (They Knew)

Narrator's POV

They were heading home after their mission. It was a successful mission: the leader was caught, the majority number of the black ninjas were brought down, only a few escaped, and none of the four mutant ninja turtles got seriously injured. Camila took the driver's seat as she did not want Lauren to race home like earlier. They did not talk to each other directly until the way home. Normani and Dinah surely could feel the tension. Dinah tried to make the situation cheerful, but it was useless. None responded to her jokes, except Normani, who sat with her on the middle seat.

"Can we go faster?" Lauren said, not looking at Camila but on the road. She was still annoyed, and could not stand it when she remembered Camila was taking Cole and Dylan to the side.

Dinah and Normani were looking at them. They never saw them like this. It was too tense to bear that they spoke nothing.

Camila stopped the car suddenly when they left the public space and reached the entrance to the tunnel. She looked at Lauren. She was no longer in the battle, and she could let herself free, not controlling her emotion. Camila heavily sighed, "Mani, can you take over?" Camila asked Normani, who sat behind her, but her angry eyes did not leave Lauren.

"Yes." Normani got off and so did Camila.

Lauren moved faster than Normani. She jumped to the driver's seat and took over it before Normani.

"..." Normani looked at Camila.

Camila slummed the driver's side door and asked Normani to get back in.

"I need fresh air. You girls can go back first." By saying that, Camila left the car, walking in the direction where they came from.

"Mila, are you sure?" Normani asked Camila, who was walking away.

Lauren looked at Camila through the mirror. She did not want to give in, too.

"She is." Dinah had no doubt. Camila always did what she decided. "Lauren..." Dinah called Lauren.

Lauren said nothing and started the car. She drove fast, heading to their home through their secret tunnel. They almost reach their secret garage when Dinah said, "she probably wants to check on Cole."

Hearing what Dinah said, Lauren did not speed up, but she slowed down the car. Dinah and Normani were confused, looking at her.

"Did I upset her?" Lauren said in allow voice.

"I... think..." Dinah hesitated to say but finished by Normani, "you did."

Lauren groaned, "argh..." she turned the car around to be after Camila.

Camila had turned her direction to walking back home. She indeed needed a walk to clear her mind and calm herself. She did not mean to have an evening stroll outside. She just wanted to slowly walk home by herself. She could understand why Lauren behaved like that. It was because she was dating Cole. The only thing that made her sad most was when Lauren said Camila was not her leader. It was not that she wanted to be a leader. It just made her think that she was not a good leader. This was what made her sad.

Camila saw their wagon was heading back to her. She kept on walking at a slow pace. The wagon stopped. She and Lauren's eyes met. She ignored them and kept walking. Lauren heavily sighed and got off the car. "You two can go back first." She told Normani and Dinah.

"Alright!" Normani said.

"Don't kill each other, please!" Dinah half suggested half-joked.
