The Travelers Wish (The Wattys 2016)

Chapter 15

I stood in front of Raphael's room

he was facing the wall mumbling to what appeared to be a small land turtle.

"Knock knock."

I could feel him scowl, even though his back was towards me.

"And what does the little princess want?"

He words came out in an irritated tone.

I rolled my eyes.

Little princess?!

I decided to let that go.

"I just want to know what your problem is with me Raphael, occasionally your nice to me but most of the time even my mere presence annoys you?!"

I stepped inside his room.

He shot me daggers, a look that clearly stated "oh no you didn't"

He snapped.

"Oh that's fine walk all over my space just like you've walked all into my family.

All powerful and understanding, knowing every thing about us!"

He scowled

"You just waltz right into my family, and expect to be welcomed, loved and accepted.

and those idiots just trust you, after just meeting you! Well guess what you may have them wrapped around your jeweled little fingers but not me!"

That's rich..

"You what Raph this isn't even about me or them isn't it?!

You just can't stand it that there's someone else that the guys trust besides you. Your jealous! And your constant sarcastic dissing of me...

Well guess what I'm the Sarcasm Queen, and I learned from the best!"

He stood up and faced me, coming right in front of me.

He crossed his arms.

"Yeah, and who might that be, one of you circus clowns?"

"You!"

I stuck my finger at his chest.

"I learned from you Raph, I understand you more then you think!"

"How could you?"

"You think I don't understand anger Raphael? That's where you are wrong.

You complain about not being understood, and feeling alone, and just generally being mad at the world for the sad lot you've been cast.

For being born a Mutant, a freak...

Well you know nothing of anger,

My family was killed in front of me when I was just a child, my only brother, the person I loved most in the world taken from me!

I grew up Constantly bullied and teased by people JUST LIKE YOU, and I should hate you, but I don't because I know what compassion you are capable of.

Then after years, I finally started to feel normal again, and some douche bag comes along and just because I wouldn't sleep with him, he cheats on me with some skank!

Then to top it all off I nearly fell to my death, but instead of dying I survived!

You think you have it bad, you think your so alone and misunderstood? You have 4 brothers who love you, mine is dead!

So don't talk to me about anger.

I understand how you feel more then you can possibly imagine!"
