TMNT Healing Touch

The rain whipped at my face as my best friend and I dashed over rooftops to escape from the wrath of the Kraang bots who were after us. We've been in this chase after the five bots had taken back the power cell and the crew had to split up in order to keep them busy. Leonardo and I lost the others just a few blocks away and we weren't even sure if we had lost them or not. But we didn't exactly want to slow down to find out.

My apartment came into view and I had to will myself to keep going. Leonardo swept me off my feet and we jumped over the horizon and we both entered through the unlocked window.

The rain was pouring in, which was soaking up the warm-wooded floor. I stood up to shut the windows, locked them up, and drew the shades with my shaky arms. That was way too close for anytime to relax. I was hoping that no one had seen us enter the building.

I turned around to come face to face with Leo. He had a look of worry in his blue eyes and I placed a hand on his arm.

"Oh, it's okay Leo. My grandmother's gone for a vacation in Puerto Rico. She'll be back in a week. You can stay here for safety."

Leonardo sighed and relaxed under my grip and I moved to take off my soaking black and white converse sneakers. I felt my body swaying back and forth. A firm hand reached out to me and placed itself on my arm to keep me upright and I felt the world spinning around.

*gasp!*

"Brianna, you're... you're!"

I heard Leonardo gasp and I was wondering what was going on. Leo lightly lifted my dark blue shirt which made me blush a deep pink. I wanted to protest but inside of my tongue, I felt something heavy in my mouth. I gazed down to where Leo's expression had led me to and then I heard myself gasp.

*gasp!*

There was a deep wound that was slashed across my stomach. The blood had stained my shirt and it was dripping onto my skinny jeans. I was trying to remember how I got the wound in the first place. But then in my mind, the image came to me. I was imagining myself dodging the blasts from the bots' guns. It must have been the Kraang's weapons that injured me. I must have been so pumped in that battle, I didn't realize that I had that wound there.

But now I just stood there, realizing that I was pretty beat up. I felt the muscle pulse beneath my skin and the bruises on me were stinging me everywhere. I felt like I was going to lose my appetite, but I didn't want to admit it to Leo.

It must have been my very first tough and intense mission with the guys. Even though I had told them that I was perfectly fine helping them in combat. Dang, I was realizing how fighting can be brutal with all of the enemies around me and my friends. Even though I was fully trained by Master Splinter, it still wasn't enough to keep myself completely safe.

Maybe my parents were right. I think my confidence has gotten the best out of me. I was looking down at my injury. The cut didn't look too bad. I was thinking that I might need stitches, but I was still imaging myself what the rest of me would look like if I hadn't protected myself very well.

'My god, how am I ever going to explain this situation with my grandmother?' I thought to myself.

I felt really weak because I had lost some blood then I lost my balance which nearly caused me to pass out. But my best friend caught me. I knew that he was concerned about me.

"Brianna, are you okay?"

"I'm... I'm fine Leo. I just need to wash up..."

So I crawled on my knees to the bathroom and turned on the light. Every move that I made had caused me to have a splitting headache which also caused my body to go into pain. The blue masked mutant stayed close to me and I felt myself going into more pain. I crawled up in front of the bathtub and started turning on the warm water.
