TMNT The Lost Ones

Chapter Thirteen Life

I sat up in the bed. I felt the covers. They felt very soft. And the pillow was very fluffed. Then I felt my body for any wounds. They were all gone! Including the ones I've had for so long on my face and neck. Well. They were scars now but the tissue that showed from them. I didn't feel anymore. Come to think of it. I couldn't feel anything anymore. And I was stripped. My mask. My gear. It was all gone. And my weapons. Where were they? I got out of the bed. And I walked down the ominous hallway. I saw somebody sitting in a chair. I just stood there for a while. It was a woman. She was sipping tea. And when she walked out of the darkness. She walked towards me and said. "Miss me?" How?! How did she survive?! It was karai!

I felt her cheek. "Karai!" I yelled. She said. "That's my name." I hugged her tight. She said. "I guess so." I stuttered with the obvious question. "How--? Where--?" She chuckled and sat back down. "So your wondering how I'm alive. How you lost me. Where you are. Well. To be completely honest. I don't know if I should tell you--" I interrupted her. "Tell me!" She raise her hands. "Alright. Alright. Well. It seems like so long ago but when you were fighting. That turtle. I realized that it was my fault. My fault we crashed. My fault I dragged you down here." I questioned her. "What do you mean it was your fault that we crashed?" She sighed. "Before we crashed landed here. And we fought and you locked yourself up. I wanted to make sure we landed safely. And I wanted to impress you. So I tried to land us myself but. I couldn't do it." She held her head down. I stuttered with my words. "You-- you--" I finally let it all out. "You crash landed us! I thought you wanted us to save dusk! And you deserted us here! And you left me to defend for myself!" She looked me in the eyes. "I know it sounds bad. But. I cured you of all your wounds didn't i?" He looked down. "Not all of them." She smirked. "You sure about that?" I looked at her like she was crazy but if followed her anyway.

She took me to a room across the hall and I couldn't believe my eyes. Raph. Dusk. They were okay. Raph's wounds were healed. And dusk. Was she--? It's not possible. I felt her neck. A pulse! A strong one too! Karai brought her back to life! And all of her fur and skin was completely healed! I fell to my knees in awe. I thought I lost dusk forever. And raph. I'm sorry I did this to him. I was just so angry I-- I thought dusk was gone. Karai must have been the one to take her. But how did she get raph down here? He's like. Five times her size. I started to cry. Karai came over and put her hand on my shoulder. "I cured them you know." I stood up wiping the tears from my eyes. I said. "I know. And nothing I can do can ever repay you for it. You have no idea what great happiness you have extended upon me." I couldn't stop smiling. She brought my face close to hers. "Maybe there is one way." I knew where this was going. She cured my brother and my best friend. This was the least I could do. I brought her face close and our faces were locked onto each other. We kissed passionately. She threw her arms around my neck as we kissed. And I slid my fingers through her hair as we moved closer to the chair she sat in. I sat in the chair and sat her in my lap. We stopped kissing. We just stared at each other for a while. I finally broke the silence and said. "I can not thank you enough karai. I am forever in your gratitude." I kissed her once more. We both blushed hard. And she got up. She said. "Spirit. Come here." Raph and dusk were waking up. She wanted me to be the first thing they saw when they woke up.

I entered the room. They slowly opened their eyes. Dusk yawned. "Sp-- spirit?" I began crying. I hugged her so tightly. She said. "Wh-- what's going on?" I just looked at her and said. "Nothing. Everything is fine." I just smiled at her. I was so glad to see her alive. Then raph tapped on my shoulder. "What about me don? Don't I get a hug?" I hugged him so tightly. "Raph I'm--" he looked at me with a serious expression. "You don't have to say it." I smiled and continued to hug him. Then dusk joined it. She was purring. I said. "I'm so glad you guys are okay." Then the hug broke when raph said. "Wait. How are we okay? Who healed our wounds? And where's our gear?" That's right. Karai had there gear as well. I helped up raph. "You'll be surprised when I show you." Dusk and raph followed me out the door. All of our gear and weapons were sitting on the table next to the door but. Where was karai? Then. I saw a note attached to my mask. It said.

Dear Spirit.

Don't tell your brother or dusk I healed them. It's better this way. Just trust me.

Xoxo
Karai

So In reply to who healed them. I told them. "I did."
