Bloody hopes

Leo POV
"Hey guys!" I heard Donnie call, "I found out what it is!!" I got up and walked inside Donnie's lab to see Raph and Mikey already in there. "So what did you find out?" I asked, "Well-" "Those are plans for something." Ash said. We all screamed, "Where have you been?!" I asked as I glared at her for
1)Leaving without telling hardly anyone
2)For scaring us.
"Out." She replied before leaving the room. "And I'm still embarrassed that a 13 year old can scare us." Raph said. "Ohhhhh!!!! Raph is scared!" Mikey said before Raph punched him in the stomach.

Ash POV
"Ah. I see." Splinter said, "So you want to try and ignore that." I nodded. "Well, When I remember or see something that reminds me of the fire that changed my life, I would usually think about what I have now or happy thoughts. Though it wouldn't work for you I'm afraid." "It's ok sensei." Ash replied, "I still remember the first time we met, and I still know that back then, nothing could get to you, all you thought about was what was coming." Splinter said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

Flashback

Splinter was taking a stroll in the sewers. His four baby turtles were asleep so he decided to take a walk to clear his mind. He began to hear the noise of someone tripping over something and hid behind the wall as something fell from above. It grabbed onto a pipe and made the land softer by creating Ice underneath it's feet. It appeared to be a human girl by the age of 3. "How far did I go?" The girl wondered aloud as she looked up and tried to reach out and climb up. But it got darker as two kids about the same age of the 3 year old pushed the lid to the sewers, thus blocking the way out. "Oh yeah!" One of the kids said before the entrance was blocked, "Have this!" The kid threw something down at the girl and Splinter could hear he sound of someone falling. Splinter then walked out from his hiding place, and picked up the girl who was unconscious. He took her back to his home and placed her on a small beanbag. "Splinter!" A voice called and a small white dog wearing a blue collar and black lightning marks on his black legs came running into the room, "Did she make it here?" He froze before the little girl. "What happened?!" He asked, "Two kids knocked her out after pushing her into the sewers." Splinter explained, "Xever and Bradford. Those two, I swear!" The pup said. "I'm guessing they bully the girl, Bolt." Splinter said. "Yes. But Ash is determined and a little too fierce." Bolt replied.

FLASHBACK ends

Ash looked down, "I guess I've changed." "You have." Splinter said, "But you are always the same person." "Bye sensei!" Ash said before running off, "Goodbye my child." Splinter called back.
