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

Chapter 17: Their Feelings

Narrator's POV

Camila, Lauren, Normani, and Dinah ended their exhausting evening in their rooms. They did not tell Yolanda what happened in the tunnel. They only told Yolanda about their mission, meeting the police, and the battle against the black ninja. Yolanda was very proud of them. She believed they were more than ready to bring down Shredder. With support from the police force, Yolanda believed they could stop Shredder's evil plan.

They had found out about Shredder's real plan to destroy the beloved city. How she was going to do it, they still figured it out. Doctor Gosling had invented a new shield that he would install into the mutant turtles' shells immediately. It would protect them from the special weapon that Shredder's once used to shoot Leo. Although they won the last big battle, they could not let their guard down. They had to anticipate the next attack from Shredder, which they thought would be more intense than the last, they had this evening.

Camila was in her room. She was exhausted physically, especially mentally, after the fight with Lauren. Although she was exhausted she could not bring herself to sleep. She looked out of the window, thinking about whatever was in her mind. Her phone went off as a notification came in. She ignored it, thinking it must be Cole since he had been texting her this past week. It went off again as another notification came in.

Camila took her phone to check it. They were not from Cole.

Lauren: Camz, are you still awake?

Lauren: I can't sleep. Can we talk, please?

Camila did not reply to Lauren. She turned off her phone, and she put on music. She did her best to empty her mind by meditating. It worked. She fell asleep ten minutes later.

Sunday morning, Camila woke up early as usual. She went to the wood for running, meditating, and training. She went back home at seven-thirty. Camila met Yolanda, who was heading out. Yolanda told her that she had prepared breakfast for them. The other three were still sleeping and did not want to wake them up for training as they needed rest from last night's battle. Yolanda told Camila that she had to go somewhere and got things to do. She would be back tomorrow morning. Camila did not ask where Yolanda was going. Yolanda would leave once in a while. They took it as 'Mama Yo's Me-Time'.

Camila went to her room for a shower before she settled in the kitchen for breakfast. After having her breakfast, Camila went back to her room. She still needed time for herself. She locked her door and settled on the small couch in her room. She took a book and put on her headset, listening to the music. Camila checked her phone and saw that Yolanda had left a message in their family group, telling them what she had told Camila when she was heading out.

Camila left a message in another group, where Yolanda was not included, telling Lauren, Normani, and Dinah that she needed her me-time, too. She asked them to have a rest and told them to call her only when they had something urgent. However, she said she believed that three of them could handle whatever came up. After leaving the message, Camila had her phone muted and put it aside. She opened the book and started to read.

Four of them spent their Sunday in their room. Camila was with her book and music. Normani was with her computer and stuff. Lauren was in her room, listening to the music, and thinking of Camila. Dinah was the one who could not stand it. Lauren, Dinah, and Normani had lunch together. They did not see Camila, who had lunch a bit later than them. Camila and Normani stayed in her room while Lauren and Dinah decided to go out for a walk since Dinah could not help it. She was bored, and she asked Lauren to accompany her. They went out for a walk in the late afternoon.
