(You guys should be able to tell by the title but warning the feels)

River sat there her legs numb due to lack of movement her arms lost all feeling as the chains that kept her binded to the wall were far to tight and were cutting all circulation off form wrists her head was down as she cried

She didn't know what else to do anymore

So she cried

She could not see the state she was in currently but by the pain all over her body she knew it wasn't good and razzar was making sure she'd knew that everyday now he would come in explain in detail how pathetic she looked how wounded she was and then he would re open her scabbed over wounds or wounds that were starting to heal over and if river flinched in pain

I well

New wound for him to continue to torcher her with

So she sat there crying

Crying for her family

For her friends

Her team

Her love

Her fallen ones

But not once

Not ever once

Did she cry for herslef

She heard the door open and knew it was one in two people it was razzar coming to torcher her or tigerclaw coming to say how sorry he was only to be ignored

But one problem with that

Tiger only came after razzar so that ment

"How's my favourite pet doing today" he growls

River stayed quiet not moving her head at all

Razzar growls she knew he hatted being ignored by now but he continued to aggravate him

He grabs her cheeks in his claws and viscously rips at the skin causing four long lines from just above her eyes to her chin to be made as river scream out in pain

"Still believe I can't break you" he growls

He asked her this everyday and she would usually have ignored him but

"No" she whimpers out

Razar whips his head around to look at her in shock

"You" she whimpers "you broke me along time ago" she shivers "I just didn't give you the pleasure of knowing it"

Razar growls darkly and a heart shattering scream echoes through the evil lair of the shredder

Tiger hears this and run towards the jail the closer he gets the louder the crying gets as he jumps o all fours and bursts into the room to see on the floor a broken scared crying river with a massive reopened scar across her eyes

"No" tigers eyes wilt as his mind flashes back to the scene where he betrayed river and accidentally caused her to lose her sight

Tiger crawled over to her and nuzzled her cheek as she shoved him away

"Stay away" she screams more tears falling

Tiger claw looks at her sadly as he pulls her flat on his chest and she begins screaming

"No no!!! Stay away!!!! Get away from me!!!" River screams at him as she points her fists onto his chest

Tiger claw winces as he hears her words and fells her pounding and trashing stop as she grips onto his fur tightly

"I'll never forgive you" she sobs out he gave in his chest as she cries repeating those four words

"I'll never forgive you, I hate you!!" She yells as she she then begins to cry again her body shaking form pain all her wounds bleeding onto tigerclaws fur

(Flashback)

"Hay tiger" little river asks looking at the young tiger

"Yes riverlilly?" He asks

She looks up at him "you'll always be there for me right?" She asks

Tiger claw nods

"And you'll never leave me alone right!?"

"Nu uh never!" Tigerclaw smiles

"And you'll never hurt me?" She smiles standing in front of him

He shakes his head no

"Pink promise?" She smiles

Tigerclaw smiles and links his pinky with hers "pinky promise"

(Flashback over)

River continued to cry into his chest as he just sat there holding her close her blood now sticking to his fur badly as he began to worry for her health

He runs his thumb over a wound on her hip and she flinches away in pain but stays in his hold

"What have they done to you riverlilly" he whimpers as he berries his face into her shoulder

River remained silent as she continued to simply cry she continued to cry long after she past out from blood loss she continued to cry while tiger claw cleaned her wounds and long after he left

But she never once cried for herself

She was crying for no one now

Who was she now

I don't know if even she knew the answer to that
