Wolf (a TMNT story)

Trust

It was another day at the lair. Still chained, still miserable. I feel so cooped up, I haven't been in my wolf form in ages and I miss the wind against my fur. The feeling of being free.

I miss it too. But we are proving they can trust us so we can do all that once they do.

I just hope we haven't screwed it up already.

I heard Raph come in with a key in hand. He walked up to me and unlocked the shackles. My eyes widened and I stared up at him with a smile.

"So I take it you guys trust me." I said.

"Not completely, but enough to know your a good person." He said with another one of his smiles.

"Thanks. You ain't all that bad yourself red." I said and shoved him playfully.
"I have not enjoyed a shower in a while, so that's my first act in freedom. You guys kinda cut that short last time."

Raph chuckled and showed her to the bathroom. "Don't use all the hot water." He warned.

"No promises. Hey do you know where my bag is?" I asked. He thought for a moment and nodded and left. He came back a few moments later and handed me my backpack. "Thanks." I said and went inside.

I turned on the water and got in. It felt nice. I remember the showers at TCRI but only slightly. They were always freezing cold and they used a hose. A FREAKING HOSE. But this, this was the life. Finally able to get the filth off of me and the stink of sewers (I have a haunch that before Raph and I became friends he dunked me in sewer water). I used some of the jasmine scented shampoo and the lotus flower conditioner (they must really like Japanese scents) along with strawberry scented body wash. I was heartbroken when it was over.

That. Felt. Good.

I like their scents. I wonder if that was master splinter's.

Wolf and I laughed at that thought. I had already met master splinter, when I was interrogated. He told me his story, which saddened me. How he's gone through so much and can still have that warm look on his face, I have no idea. I mean, if your best friend, no brother, betrayed you because of jealousy and killed your wife and child would it be easy to you. To accept that fate made that possible. That all that happened for a reason. I know I wouldn't.

I changed into the Avenged Sevenfold tee and the black jeans and laced up my combat boots. I still miss the leather of my gloves, they haven't given them back yet, but sadly I still have more trust to earn. I miss a lot of things. I've missed a lot of things. If it weren't for the stupid Kraang I would have been with my parents right now. We would've been in our old apartment and everything would have been normal. So much for that. Although, I have made some pretty good friends (like Raph) and I earned a sister and other half.

You know who I'm talking about.

Aww. Your making me blush.

I visibly rolled my eyes and left the bathroom. Raph was on the couch watching an old anime show that had just ended.

"Oh. Hi. You take long." He said.

"Ay. If you took the showers at TCRI for two years straight you'd take long too." I said while laughing. "Do you know what day it is?"

"Sunday. Why?" He said.

"THE WALKING DEAD!!! MOVE!!" I yelled and took the remote from his hand.

"What's that?" He asked after uncovering his ears.

"Seriously. It's only the coolest show EVER!" I yelled again, making him cover his ears, AGAIN.

"Yeah well never heard of it."
