Chapter 5 - The Waiting is the Hardest Part The weeks passed and Karai's injuries healed. She spent her time between the agonizing boredom of awaiting instructions from her father and thinking about her encounter with the mutant named Leonardo. When the thoughts ran in never-ending circles, leaving her frustrated and irritable, she turned her focus to rehabilitating her weakened body, molding it back into the hard planes of toned, but limber muscles. Each day dragged with tedious routine as she found herself trapped at her sparsely furnished apartment. Unable to stray further than the surrounding neighborhood. Stuck. Awaiting word from him. T

He flung the cubes down, leaned forward to see his result.   “Five and three,” he noted. “Seven!” “Eight,” Donnie corrected, voice slightly muffled from his cheek being propped by one hand. He flipped the page of the book he was reading between turns. Leonardo watched as Mikey counted his spaces, moving the chess pawn across the roughly drawn boxes, each colored a different hue with crayon and marker. His lips moved as h

"Only know you've been high when you're feeling low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go. And you let her go." –Let Her Go, Passenger Chapter 20 – Mending Bridges The delicate steel tendons retracted, pulling the forefinger down towards the rise of the palm, followed closely by the second digit until a loose fist was created. The motion was not as smooth as he'd hoped, not as firm a hold, not as precise as the machinations of muscle, sinew and bone. But it was getting there. Donatello concentrated, firing the muscles in his chest and upper left deltoid to direct the nerve impulses to

A/N: A HUGE shout-out to theherocomplex for this chapter. Not only do I owe her mad props for giving me permission to use her incredible folk tale that she created and developed and allowed me to use for Splinter's tale, (which blows me away, because I thought it was a real folk tale from Japan! XD) but she helped me straighten up this chapter and make it the lovely thing it is now, thanks to her insight and guidance. Splinter's tale comes directly from her series Guitar and Video Games. Find it at: http://theherocomplex.tumblr.com/gavg Anyway, it is a MUST read for fans of TMNT. It is thrilling and heartbreaking and lovely and

Written for my friend, Bluecladhero, on Tumblr. Set in the A Son for a Daughter story 'verse - exploring the idea of Leo allowing Karai to ‘help him escape’ from his family after being brought home from the Foot Clan headquarters, more specifically, the Shredder’s personal chambers. If you don’t know, A Son for a Daughter contains mature themes, including: perceived horrific betrayal by Splinter, several instances of rape, torture and the disfigurement of Leo by the Shredder. While this story is not nearly as graphic, it does reference some of what had happened. Rated T - 1540 words - Hurt/Comfort *******************
