TMNT The Lost Ones

Chapter Eleven The True Spirit

I couldn't believe it! Aki! She was the dragon! How was this possible?! She was a mutant. A mutant. She couldn't morph into different animals? Could she? Wait. She was the one. The one I fell for. She was the one that tried to kill me. Killed dusk. But she was unconscious. I had honor. I couldn't finish her here. Not now. I stood up. I said. "Leave her here. She deserves to suffer." I ran off into the distance. I could hear raph screaming for me. I didn't care. He didn't even see what I saw. He was with my deceased best friend. She was my best friend. And I treated her like dirt. I traded her for karai. And karai wasn't even here! I ran until I fell. I was scraped up. I had cuts all over me from landing on the gravel so hard. I just lay there. Sobbing uncontrollably. I started to scream. "Why!" I screamed. "Why couldn't it have been me! You had so much more life to live! You had so much more purpose!" I just lay there. Staring into the dark sky. It was always dark. But somehow the planet retained sunlight. I stared into the sky for hours. Thinking of what I could've done. How I could've saved her. It should've been me. I should be the one dead right now. I was still crying. And my vision must've been extremely blurred because. I thought I saw dusk. I sat up immediately. "Dusk!" My tears started to slow down. She just looked down. I tried to grab her. My hands went right through her. It was her spirit. But I could still see her. "D-- dusk?" Her spirit walked right up to me. Tears dropped on to me. But they turned into mist when they touched me.

I tried to pet her like I use to. But my hands went right through her. I couldn't hold her. I couldn't feel her. I couldn't pet her. And it was all my fault! I started to cry. Her spirit said. "Shh. Spirit. It's okay." She smiled. But I could tell it was forced. I just stared at her spirit. Even though I could see right through her. Her spirit put her paw on top of my head. "Don't fret spirit. I'm okay now. All of my wounds are healed. I'm at peace. But before I go. You must promise one thing." I said. "Anything." Her spirit said. "Promise me that you will--" her spirit started to scream. Then she just vanished. I put my hands on the ground and dug up the dirt where she was. "Dusk! Dusk!" I kept digging. Then I pounded the ground. "Fuck! I can't do anything right! Not even her spirit is allowed access to me!" I said. I grabbed my katana and said. "I can't go on like this." I put towards my stomach. And when I was about to stab myself. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around. It was raph. He yelled. "Dude! What are you doing!" He picked me up. I looked at him. I noticed he had tears in his eyes. I put my katana back in my pocket. Then I said. "Raph. What's. What's wrong?" All he told me before he started running was. "Just follow me!"
