My Favorite Blues - TMNT 2014/2016 Leonardo story

Chapter 9

Hi! I know that it's been a little while since I updated and I'm sorry for all that buuuuut I've been trying to figure out where this story should be going and where I was going with the main character, just trying to get my head around things. Been trying to find myself a job over the summer, it's been hectic for us students trying to find a job because of the 'rona sitation but don't worry! I found myself a job, finally! 

So anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Njótið!! (Enjoy) :)))

"Damian, what the fuck!?" I exclaim, shocked at seeing him dressed as a foot soldier. I furrow my brows and pull my lips to a snarl. "You're on their side!? A bunch of crazy scientists that have shit morals!?" He rolled his eyes at me and slowly stalked towards me with his gun raised. "I should have fucking known, I got that creepy vibe from you the second that you woke me up on that damn plane!" I growl feeling frustrated with this whole situation.

"I don't need to hear that shit from you, okay? You have no idea how big this could be, how much money we could get out of this." He smirked and waved his gun at me carelessly. Disgusted by his words I spat down at the floor in his direction, he looked down where my saliva sat and then back at me with a dark look. I couldn't give a shit about if it nearly landed on his boot, he's a fucking scumbag.

"There are lives at stake here!" I gesture to the three turtles behind me in bewilderment. "You don't get to decide whether they live or die, you don't own them! They are their own individuals, they can think, they can feel, just like us!" I shout at him, the anger inside of me rising and making me see red.

"Shut up, you stupid whore!" He growls and presses his gun firmly against my forehead, the cool metal against my heated skin is not comforting, only a constant brutal reminder that this man could at any moment, end my time on this earth. I hiss at the feeling and close my eyes tightly in fear, I hear Leo struggling against his shackles behind me, pulling at them desperately. "Don't you hurt her." he mutters threateningly to Damian but Damian only laughs at Leo, grabbing at the back of my neck tightly, pulling on my hair so that I crane my neck uncomfortably upwards. "I'm out here and you're in there, look at the position that you're in. I do whatever the fuck I want." I breathe slowly, trying to calm down my raging nerves. I clench my hands into fists and grit my teeth. "You like her or somethin'?" He only gets a territorial churr in response to his question. "You do like her! How sweet, two freaks, you two deserve each other." He moves the position of the gun, now pressing it underneath my jaw and I cringe at the awkward tilt of my head. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me scared, I won't allow it. April and Vern weren't far behind, hopefully they could navigate through this maze of a fucking mansion, I think I'll take my chances. I slowly open my eyes and let out a long breath that I've been holding. I look into his dark eyes that hold no sign of life, no sign of emotion, only two empty, dark, emotionless pools look back into my blue ones, showing no signs of backing down. I look at Leo and his head hangs slightly, barely able to keep his eyes open.

"They're not like you and me, they are monsters." Damian tries to reason with me but I'm not having it.

"The only monsters here in this room are Shredder and you" I shift my eyes back to him and bare my teeth as I call him out and prepare for the worst.

"Me? A monster? HAH! I'll show you a monster." He states darkly and I tightly shut my eyes, I wait for the loud bang to go off but instead Damian releases a pained grunt and lets go of me. My eyes snap open and I see Vern holding a fire extinguisher and April running past Vern, around Damian who's laying on the ground unconscious, to me and embraces me tightly.
