TMNT: Red As The Blood Spilt

Chapter 13

I could hear the splash of feet hitting the sludgy floors. 'Why is he chasing me?' I turn, slipping slightly and completely drenching myself, but that's ok, I'll wash it later. I push myself up, coming to another opening, but I don't get far before a ball and chain wrap around my waist. With a hard tug, and a small squeak from myself, I'm jerked into the air and curl myself into a ball, hugging my arms to my chest. Slowly I turn my head to see Raphael slowly pulling me up, being quiet so as to not alert the ass clown chasing me.

Once I'm safe in his arms, I let out a sigh of relief, leaning to be closer to him. We watch as Jones rushes past us, calling out for me. "Adelyn?! Are you ok?" He must have heard the noise I made. After he leaves, I climb to hang off Raph's shell, and he begins making his way to the lair... the long way. "When Mikey came back without ya, I nearly beat 'em right then and there. Told us somethin' about a boy followin' ya." he growled. "Calm down, hun... he's just a guy from school." I roll my eyes, as he drops in front of the doors. We lock it up so that he doesn't stumble upon it, and we get Mikey to turn his radio down.

"I know you love your music, I do too, but the boy is still down here somewhere." I explained in a hurried and hushed voice. I lead Mikey to the kitchen where I give him a cookie -one that I had gotten from the store, after the police rebought my groceries.- he seemed satisfied, and ate quietly as I informed everyone of the situation. "May just get in a fight at school or something. Give me a reason not to go, when I possibly get suspended." Leo shook his head. "Remember. We don't want the police to get suspicious of anything. If you go around picking fights, you may have a problem, and they could possibly take you away. After all it hasn't even been three months since the papers were signed... not even three weeks."

I chuff, crossing my arms over my chest. "Yeah well... I have reason! Excessive flirting, stalking, and unwanted physical contact!" I point out, he now rolls his whole head. "Addie..." I place my whole hand on his face, pushing him back slightly. "Ninja please." It wouldn't be illegal or anything, because self defense would be put into use, after all he is lucky that I didn't stab him right then and there when he had his arm around me.

After about two hours, Mikey was restless. He wanted to turn on mortal kombat or something, unfortunately I was not too good at that one. "Donnie... What're the cameras picking up?" I ask, rolling my eyes at Mikey, whilst taking a place next to Don and his tablet thing. "I'm not finding any movement. He may have gone, Addie. Eh... i-if you don't mind me asking, who is this boy?" I shake my head, glancing at Raph, who seemed angry about the whole situation.

"Casey Jones. He's a major flirt, who I've only just met today, and he decided to follow me, to the damn rooftops and into the sewers." I groan, folding my arms over my my chest. "Is he just flirting with you? Maybe he likes you." Donnie smirked, but it soon disappeared as I heard my hothead snort in disapproval. "Because I watched him flirt with like five other girls, but I think he has the hots for April." I state, not realizing the words I had just said. I look around, watching the faces of all turtles slowly change, all with different expressions.

"What? What did I say?" I asked, confused and worried. Donnie had been looking down at his feet ever since I said her name, not moving. Mikey seemed to be said, like I had just smacked his ice cream out of his hand. Leo seemed unmoved, but had a serious look of pain in his eyes. I felt my bicep be grabbed, and looked up to see Raphael pulling me towards the stairs. We walk into his room of course, and he pushes me down to the bed, sitting next to me.

"Raph? Who's April?" I ask quietly. I could feel the heat coming off of him, and didn't want to push too far. "She's... she's the first human we ever let into our lives?" He breathed, trying to keep a level head. "But who was she?" I press, and he side glances me 'oh geez' "Some stupid girl who... who broke Donnie's heart." His growl was low, and loud, kinda freaked me out. I feel myself tense, looking anywhere but at him. I knew he cared about his little brothers, er, all his brothers really, but he seems to get very protective when it comes to feelings. "That's... that's awful-" "She played games, she flirted with him- I told him that she was bad news! I told him not to get attached!!" "Raph-" "She hurt him so bad, and then just-" "Raph, calm do-" "She's been gone for over a year!!!" He roared, and I latched myself around him neck, hugging him tightly.

It took a minute but he soon relaxed into my embrace, snaking his arms around my waist and holding me close. "I know it's really none of my business, but I think I'm gonna go talk to Donnie." I mutter sweetly to him, attempting to stand but he holds be down. "Nah... Just a minute longa'." He nuzzled into my neck. I laughed, letting him do so before I pushed away, really wanting to talk to Don. I get up opening the door, and smiling back at Raph, before heading to the stairs and into Donnie's lab.

"Hey Don?" I coo, popping my head out from behind the door. He glanced up but turned away quickly when he saw me. "Oh... Hey Adelyn." He mumbled. I walk on in, gently shutting the door, before taking a seat in the spare chair. "Soooo... about-" "Stop. I know what you're going to say, and it was just a petty crush. I thought it could be possible for someone like her to love something like me, but I was wrong. Who'd want to be with a freak anyway- er, no offense." I sigh, staring at the notes he had taken on something. "Donnie. I love you just fine. Girls can be stupid, and confusing, and can lead you or any guy on. You just have to find the right one..." I skoot closer, wrapping my arms around him to give a reassuring hug. "Man... Raph got lucky with you."

A/N: right so I've been thinking, and kinda having a block right now, BUT I was thinking about differing from anything in the past of ninja turtle stuff. Like not from the TV or any movies, just kinda gonna make something up about what April did. Tell me if you think that's a good idea, or if you have some of your own, and I can try to write it in. Thank you, and love you guys a bunch.
