💜FALINE'S POV:
It was nighttime, and I was strolling through the streets. No one was around since it was late hours. A small warm breeze blew my hair, making it flow like a cloud.
While walking, I saw a high wall with locked gates. It was graveyard. I snuck up to the gate and squeezed my small little body through a hole in the bottom.
I strolled through the cemetery gazing at the headstones. I bowed my head gently to each one as I passed it to show my respect for the departed people, which my parents taught me when visiting my grandpa passed away.
The full moon shone down on the headstones, making them shine like silver. I gazed at each reading the names, the dates of birth and death, the age, and the family.
As I passed a headstone near a big tree, I stopped in my tracks. Approaching slowly towards the grave, I knelt before the stone and read the writing:
HERE LIES GEORGE & STEPHANIE SCARLET MURDERED TRAGICALLY BY THE FOOT CLAN.
It was my parents' grave! I had no idea they were buried here. I guess the day of their business trip when they were murmured, the people of New York buried them in this very cemetery together.
"Hi, Mum. Hi, Dad," I whispered softly to the stone. "It's me, Faline. It's been three years since you've been gone."
I was taught that talking to a headstone will be carried up to the dead loved ones in heaven.
So I explained my whole story; running away from the Foster Home, arriving in New York, encountering the Foot Clan, meeting the turtles, Master Splinter, April O'Neil and Vern Fenwick, blowing up in front of the boys and Splinter, my heart-to-heart talk with Leo, opening up to the brothers and Splinter with my past, the capture, the rescue, Leo saving me from drowning in the lake, fighting the Shredder, telling Leo I loved him and becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.
"I wish you guys were here," I said, my eyes filling up with tears. "You would've loved Leo very much."
I checked the time on my phone.
23:40 PM
"I have to go now...but I'll come back again. Goodnight."
I got up and headed back home.
