Chapter 6
Getting To Know Love
Selana laid on Raphael's bed in silence. She had been there for almost two weeks and the more time she spent with him, te more she wanted to get closer to him. He may have been a turtle, but it was a turtle that she had come to like having around. She knew though, that she could never get with him. It might endanger him and his family and when he found out about her dark secret, she was sure that he would never want to see her again. She looked around his room and was surprised he could even walk around in it. The floor couldn't even be seen. She heaved a sigh and got up. She started picking up his things and neatly organizing them. They were out looking for clues to that thing that had been killing people, so she had plenty of time to clean his room for him. Lord knows she needed the time.
Raphael looked around the place where the last victim was found. It had a strong and horrible stench. He turned up his lip in disgust. Leo was just looking around.
Why does that moron have to drag my green ass out here to look around some place where a dead person was ? I mean the smell of this place is sickening. I could be at home with miss sexy, but noooo Leo had to be a big shot. Like the idiot is gonna find anything !
Mike had his hand over his mouth trying to block the smell out.
" Man I never thought I'd say this, but this is worse than Raph after he uses the bathroom !" He said. Raph gave him a look, but Mike just shrugged. Donny tried not to laugh, but he couldn't hold it back. He cracked up with Mike, but Leo gave them a sharp look and they stopped.
" Leo, can we just get our ass's out of here ?! I am gettin sick of this and I want to go home and check on Selana." Raph said grouchily. Leo gave him a dirty look, but he was also exhausted, so he turned to leave. His brothers sighed in relieve and they went home.
When they got back home, the first thing Raph did was go upstairs to see Selana. But when he opened the door he jumped back in shock. There was nothing on his floor. It was clean and his bed was made. All the trash was gone and the floors had been swept and mopped. His brothers came up behind him and looked in. Their eyeballs nearly popped out from their sockets.
" Raph, I know you did't clean this ! Did you ?" Don said. Raph shook his head dumbfounded.
" It must have been Selana." Leo snorted at that.
"Well then she had her work cut out her for her." He turned and went to see Splinter.
Butt kisser ! Raph thought.
His brothers went to their rooms to cool off and Raph looked around his.
" Great ! Now I can't find anything." He grumbled. He had to admit that it was a lot easier to get to his bed and walk around. He was thankful for that. He went out and looked at the bathroom. Selana was in it, taking a shower. He smiled at a thought, that was somewhat exotic. He smirked and went downstairs. He grabbed himself a cookie Mike had finally gotten right and ate it. He looked at Donatello who was again going through the stolen files from ASSC 300. They hadn't told Selana about them, cause they were afraid of what she might do.
Alittle while later, Raphael walked upstairs, but noticed that the bathroom was slightly open. He couldn't help it. He just wanted to catch a glimpse at her. He tiptoed to the crack in the door and then slowly peered in. She was drying her hair with a towel and she was completely naked. He looked at her backside that was facing him. There was a scar on it and there seemed to be some type of tatoo. It was a rose with a heart behind it. It was a beautiful tatoo on her shoulder blade. He looked at her over again and noticed some bruises. He grew angry as he remembered what that man had done to her. They must have beaten on her. She then slipped her silk green night gown on and came to the door. Raphael took off at the speed of light, just as she opened the door. He was in his room and laying on the bed. She came in and looked at him. She knew he had been watching her, but she didn't say anything.
" Hey there Selana. How ya been ?" She smiled at him and the way she did made his heart jump.
" Fine." She said with a touch of laughter. She came over to the bed and laid down next to him. He reached over and turned off the light. She was silent for a moment and then she spoke softly.
" Raphael, may I ask you something ?" She could feel his eyes watching her, but she didnt face him.
" Ya go ahead."
" Well......do you think that Black Lion and Tiger and all them are dangerous ?" He shuffled around a bit, but answer uncertainly.
" Ya I think they are. Why ?"
" I don't know. I was just wondering. Do you hate them ?"
" Not as much as the Black Tiger. She gets on my nerves. I wonder why she hasn't been seen."
" I don't know. But I don't mean to go against you, but the hybrids are not so bad. I mean she attacked you, but she was under control with that cerium they gave her. Plus they beat on her all the time. Maybe you shouldn't hate her." Raph snorted.
" Ya right. I don't care what her problem is, I don't like her. Why do ya care so much anyway ?"
" Well...I don't know. I guess it's cause I feel sorry for them. I mean it isn't fair to beat on someone all the time, just cause they don't do the bad things you want them to. I guess I just have a soft side, that's all." He was still looking at her.
" Well...I dunno. Let's not talk about it." He shifted himself so that he was closer to her.
" Can I ask you somethin ?" He asked softly.
" Yes." She answered.
" Well.....did they ever.....umm...." It was obvious that he was having a hard time asking the question, but Selana already knew what it was.
" Did they ever rape me ?" She asked for him.
" Ya."
" No they didn't. They tried, but they could never get near me. I wouldn't let them."
" How ? I mean can ya fight or somethin ?"
" Yes I can." By the way she said, he didn't want to bother her with that question any more. He was looking at her form in the dark. She was so beautiful and had to have her in his bed was so tempting. Softly he started to speak again. He wanted to tell her.
" Selana ?" He said quietly.
" What ?" She said just as softly.
" Has anyone ever told ya, that yer beautiful ?" He heard her suck in a sharp breath and he started to wonder if he was scaring her.
" No not really. I remember that my mother had said it before, but that was so long ago. Why did you ask that ?"
" Because I think yer the most beautiful girl I have ever seen and I wanted to tell ya. I usually don't just say it, but for you I will." She felt the tears come to her eyes as the words he had said sunk in. If only he knew, that one day, he would hate me. He seemed to sense that she was crying silently. He snuggled close to her and pulled her into his arms. It was something he had longed for in a long time. She looked up at his face that she could see clearly. Her eye sight was far more advanced due to the experimenting that was done on her. He looked at her and just held her gaze. He started to breath a little faster and she knew what he wanted to do. He prompted himself onto his elbow and starred at her. Slowly, he leaned forward and covered her mouth with his. Shock waves went through out both their bodies. He came down alittle harder and held her closer to him. He kissed her passionately. His tongue swirled around hers making her want more. She seemed alittle uncertain at first, but she went with it after a minute. She wanted him just as much as he wanted her. He slowly moved her hand down on her thighs and then started to move up underneath the silky material. He explored what he never thought he would, but she stopped him.
" Raphael, maybe we shouldn't. I mean what if you get mad about it in the future and you hate me ?" He looked at her shocked by what she had said.
" Baby I will never hate ya. Why do ya hafta say that ? If ya don't want me to touch ya, then just tell me and I would stop." She looked at him.
" I do want you to touch me. I am just afraid that one day you will hate me and never want to see me again." He could hear the fear in her voice and knew she was on the brink of tears.
" I will never hate ya. I promise." He leaned down to give her a reassuring kiss.
Even though your lying, I will believe you until you break your promise.
He slowly undid the little buttons on the front of her night gown. He looked at her body and breathed in sharply.
" God yer gorgeous." He came down and kissed her neck and slowly went to her breasts. She moaned softly at the feeling. Both were new to this, but so far it was all they had hoped for. His hands were spft as they ran along her body. She ran her hands along his arms and felt the large muscles bulging from his skin. He kissed her body all over and then came back up. There was no turning back now. She was going to do this and even if he did hate her in the future, she knew that at least once he had loved her. Ever so slowly, he went inside her.
The next morning, Raph and Selana lay together in bed. She had her head resting on his chest. He had his arms around her and they were snuggled close together.
Leonardo walked to Raphael's door and knocked, but there was no answer. He decided to open the door but when he did, he was totally unprepared for the sight he saw. His brother and Selana were under a sheet, but he could tell that she was not dressed. And the way they were laying together; he instantly knew that they had done it. They had done the thing he didn't want them to dare. He glared at them, but it was mostly directed at Selana. He didn't really like her all that much. He didn't trust her. He looked over her body under the sheets and something seemed strange. He looked at her shoulder and saw a tatoo. It was the rose with the heart behind it. It was nice, but he was getting alittle uneasy. He turned and went to Splinter's room.
The old rat was sitting on his little mat relaxing. He motioned for Leo to sit in front of him and Leo bowed and did so. Splinter looked at him for a moment before speaking.
" What troubles you my son ?" Leo took a deep breath.
" Selana and Raphael." Splinter raised a fury brow, but motioned for him to go on.
"Well, something about her isn't right. I mean she acts nice, but something is wrong. Her looks are also strange. Not so much her hair, but her eyes and her hands. I don't think Raphael has noticed it, but her nails and I think he teeth are weird too. And just now I was there to wake Raphael up and he.......he....he had slept with her." At this Splinter heaved a sigh and Leo could almost see a dark look cross his face, but he sighed.
" Leonardo I sense these things about her as do you, but we must wait. As for Raphael, he is making a commitment that he must learn how to keep. He is an adult and he does have his choices. He will have to learn about her on his own. I know that you are concerned, but let it be for now. Keep watch of her and observe her, but do not do anything stupid." Splinter relaxed his head and Leo bowed before him before leaving him be.
Raphael opened his eyes and looked down at Selana. She was slightly awake, but not looking at him. He smiled and squeezed her alittle, causing her to jump a bit. She looked at him and smiled. He came over and kissed her softly. The warmth of his mouth over hers gave her a sense of security. Something she hadn't felt in a long time. He pulled her closer to him and gave a more passionate kiss. When he pulled away, he just starred to those green pools that looked so lovely and yet fearful at the same time. He gently gave her a little kiss on the lips and then got up. She also got up and grabbed a pair of silk pants and a silk tank top. The two walked downstairs together and into the kitchen. Leo couldn't help but glare at them. Raph just returned it, but Selana was confused. He seemed to be so mad at her and mean to her. She started to wonder if he knew something. She pushed the thought away and went with Raphael into the living room and sat down. He had a box of donuts and was eating like crazy. He offered onto Selana but she turned down the offer. She wasn't use to eating sweets. She noticed that Leonardo was looking at her. She turned away and looked at Raph who finally finished stuffing his face with donuts and got up. He took Selana's hand and she gladly followed. The two walked outside together and looked around.
The gray stallion threw up his head as a greeting and then went back to munching on the grass in the back of the house. Raphael slowly wrapped his arms around Selana and pulled her close.
Michealangelo and Donatello were shocked at Raphael. They watched him from the window and wondered if he was alright. It wasn't like him to go all soft on a human girl. Mike giggled and walked back into the kitchen where he was making his breakfast. Don shook his head in confusion and turned back to his work. Leo was the one who remained to stare at them. He was angry. He never thought Raphael deserved a girl, but not only that. It was the fact that she came from a dangerous place and might be dangerous or even setting them up. Maybe he was jumping to conclusions, but then again maybe not.
