8 Getting closer (pt1)

Your POV:

I looked up to see Leo.He was looking at me with a sympathetic look but at the same time his eyes were already in tears.

"Can you please leave us alone for a short moment?"he said.

Donnie and Raph looked at him but after a few seconds they got out of the lab.

I sat up looking down at my arms.I knew what he wanted to talk about.

"Why?"was the only word that came out of his lips.

Silence dropped in the room.

I didnt know what to say.

"I...I'm sorry.I d-didnt know what to do or what to think.My dad was murdered by the two thugs that attacked me at my house and--"

"Wait...what?What do you mean?"he said.

I looked up to see him shocked and at the same time like he figured out something.He sped up to Donnies office and got back with a small phone in his hand.

Mu dads phone.He proceeded to show me a part of the video I saw before.

He zoomed towards the oven door.My eyes landed on the 2 people beside my father.

"Are these the ones that attacked your house?"he asked.

For a few seconds I was trying to put my mind together.I couldnt think,I couldn't speak,I couldnt do anything.

I started breathing fast again.I tried my best to control it and gave him a shaky nod.

"How do you know they did?"

"When one of them had me down he asked his partner what to do with me.The other man said 'What we did with him as well' .I recognize their voices from the video."I said still breathing fast.

I started gasping again and my hands were shaking.

Leo placed the phone down.

"Its ok,just calm down.They're not going to hurt you anymore.Not as long as I'm here."

He whispered while he hugged me.

The second he hugged me,I already felt more calm.I felt...safe,I felt...protected.I closed my eyes while I rested my head on his shoulder.

"Just calm down and try to breathe."he whispered again.

I inhaled deeply and then exhaled.It was still a little shaky but at least I was able to breathe again.

When I looked at him,I saw something that I'll never unsee.

I saw love in his eyes.

A warm smile spread across his face.

He knew what I was going through and why I did what I did.

He understood me cause he has been in the same place too.

"I will help you get through this...we all will."he said.I smiled slightly.

I felt myself relaxing more.

I started feeling tired.My eyes got heavier and heavier until I couldnt keep them open anymore

"Y/n...?"

"Tired"

I said as I drifted in a deep sleep.

Leo POV:

I layed her on the cot,I kissed her forehead and then started getting out of the lab.

As soon as I opened the door,my brothers looked at me concerned.

They came closer to me.

"What happened?"Donnie asked.

"I think we're not dealing with normal thugs nor a suicide"

Their eyes widened.

"What do you mean Leo?"Raph asked.

"Someone wants Y/n dead."I simply said.

Narrator POV:

They couldn't believe it.

Leo saving you from purple dragons and murderers was one thing,but someone sending them after you to kill you just like they did to your father?

That was something else.

That night,they all agreed to let you stay with them till they find the "assassins",the mastermind behind all this and their motive.

Little did they know that they discovery they were about to make was going to change a lot if not everything.

*a week later*

You were out of bed,fully energized.

Since it was winter break,you didnt have school for a good 2 weeks,but even when you did,Leo would always wait for you in an alley close to your school in order to take you back to the lair.

It was very different from what you used to,but overall you were glad you had them by your side.

Donnie would talk to you a few times over day in order to help you.

"Talking to someone helps ease the trauma.Not fully.But it still does helps you not piling up emotions and thoughts."

Donnie said to you.

It was going well.Talking to someone helped you get off the emotions you were holding in for so many years.

It took you a little while to do so but eventually you felt you could trust him 100%.

But besides that,it was your first Christmas with your new friends,and the first Christmas without your father.

When you thought about it,it made you a little sad but you still had to stay positive.

The guys agreed to let you go get some christmas supplies such as ornaments,candy,stockings and stuff.

Donnie thought it would be good for you to get some fresh air since you were staying in the lair all day long.

Since it was daytime,nothing could go terribly wrong.

Besides,you were wearing a mask in order not to get recognized.

You got your black leather jacket and your f/c (favorite/color) colored backpack,put on your mask and left the lair.

Your POV:

I was almost done with the supply shopping.

Only thing that was left...

Presents.

I decided to buy them something for Christmas and also thank them for helping me and letting me stay with them.

I was wondering around the shops deep into thoughts.

'What would they want?'

I was thinking.

I started focusing on each one so I dont get confused.

Mikey...

He loves video games,action figures,comic books...

I went into a store searching for something in the video game aisle

My eye landed on a "Grognard the Barbarian:New adventures" video game.

'I think it's the best option' I whispered to myself as I picked it up and placed it in my basket.

I've seen Mikey warching that tv show obsessively over the time I'm spending with them.I think he'll like it.

Next,

Donnie...

Mmm...this ines kind of hard.I dont really know much about science stuff.

Wait...

*flashback*

"Aa man...my safety glasses broke"Donnie said frustrated.

"Its ok D."Mikey said.

*end of flashback*

'That's it...safety glasses.Ok...um...there's a safety equipment store down the road.When I'm done here I'll go there.'

I thought as I walked to the cashier.

The cashier was looking kind of familiar...I couldn't figure it out though.But I shrugged it off as I took out my wallet to pay.

"Oh.We dont see a Grognard fan very often."she said to me.I looked at her as she smiled.I had this feeling that I know her and she knows me but I can't figure it out.

"Um...its for a friend.Not for me.He is obsessed with this show"I said politely.

"Oh,if he is obsessed I'm sure he'll love it"she said to me as she handed me the bag with my things.

I smiled and left the store with the gift and the wrapping paper.

When I was walking towards te safety equipment store,the thought of this woman was still in my head.

I was so lost in my thougts I almost passed by the equipment store.

Unknown POV:

I never realised spying someone would be so boring.

My master ordered me to keep an eye on this Y/n girl cause she might be a close friend to the turtles.

Even after their big showdown they had,he still wants them.Even after he killed Splinter.

After their big showdown,I was almost manipulated by one of the turtles that my master was the real enemy.

I couldn't believe that they were trying to take me on their side.

I would never betray my master.

He said to search the area around her house,but after 3 hours of looking,I finally spotted her getting out of a grocery store,with bags in her hands.

She was wearing a mask on her face...pff she thought she could hide.Amateurs.Her face is so characteristic that she will need a tone of plastic surgeries in order to hide herself.

Anyway,I kept following her to see where she was going.The whole time she was looking behind her shoulder for some reason.

At one point someone bumped into me making me lose her from my sight.

After 2 or 3 minutes searching her in the crowd,with no result,I went up to the rooftops where I could see better.

Once I climbed up a rooftop I saw her but I think sb saw me too.

Leo POV

Me and the guys agreed that it would be a good idea to keep an eye on Y/n byfollowing her from the rooftops.

So far so good,or at least I thought it was good.I saw a very familiar figure spying from the rooftop towards Y/n.

I went closer to the figure when I realised who it was.

"Karai?"
