"I'm so cold.. There isn't enough blankets in the world to warm me.. to warm my soul."

Silence answered you while you paused. Wincing, you spoke through gritted teeth.

"It's rotting from the inside out. If he had tried harder, maybe I'd still be his.. What was it?"

You growled as you remembered the name. Truth be told, you never forgot it. Simply tucked it away in false hate.

"His princess."

~~•~~

The sun was bright that day, the thought of danger was almost nonexistent. All your thoughts revolved around how happy you felt to be Leo's Princess. He was an absolute sweetheart. He kissed your cheek every morning before you ate breakfast, he'd compliment you even if you were wearing nothing more than a stained T-shirt and ragged old jeans.
Leo really loved you, and you really loved him.

And on that bright, sunny, cloudless day, you were grocery shopping alone. You had assured April you didn't need help, and you were sure of it yourself. As you bought ingredients for pizza, several tubs of ice cream and other necessities, you felt you were being watched. Of course, you shrugged it off as the cameras because you felt invincible and stronger than ever. All because of love. Mere moments later was when the trouble started.

You walked out of the grocery store with bags full of food, heading to the Lair. Your eyes wandered around your busy surroundings, not expecting to find much. When you saw six red bug-like eyes, your face drained of color.

-Foot Bots.- You realized. With this new threat in the light, you decide to hurry to the Lair. You stayed deep in the crowds until an alleyway could be seen with a cover. Just to be safe, you pulled up Leo's number and called him, biting on the inside of your cheek as it rang. You put your phone on speaker as you ran for the alleyway. Only a few steps away from the cover, a large, inhuman, grey hand clamped over your mouth, silencing your screams.

"Well, I'll give the freak this much, he knows how to pick the girls," you heard a male, high pitched voice remark. Your eyes narrowed as you looked to your left.

-Bebop. So the giant hand covering my mouth must be Rocksteady..-

"Mmmhhppffmmmm!" You growl under Rocksteady's hand. When I get out of this, you're both dead.

"What's that, Princess? I can't here you!" Bebop snorted as your eyes widen in shock when he used Leo's nickname for you. There was no way he could know that. Leo rarely uses that nickname in front of his brothers, and never around Splinter. How could they know?

"Can we go now? I am getting the hungries." Rocksteady groaned in his thick Russian accent, his hand growing sweaty over your mouth.

-Gross..- You thought with a disgusted look on your face.

"Yeah yeah yeah. Master Shredder wants to see what the first one's like, anyway! Let's go." Bebop heads for their van when a voice you needed to hear right then shouts from your phone.

"Y/N! I HEARD EVERYTHING! I'M COMING TO GET YOU RIGHT NOW! HANG IN THERE PRINCESS!" Leo shouted, his voice echoing in the alleyway.

"Awww, he calls her princess," Mikey's voice comes on next, followed by the other three shouting: "SHUT IT MIKEY!"

You glare up at Rocksteady, a smirk planted on your face underneath Rocksteady's hand.
They're coming for me Shell-For-Brains.

"Oh shuttap. They will not get to you so easily," Rocksteady growled, as if he read your mind, stepping on your T-phone and crushing it to bits.

The next thing you knew, you were tided up and gagged in the back of their van while they sat up front and talked about their favorite bands. And not long after, you heard four thumps on the roof, making you grin through your gag.

"Bebop, go get them off my van!" Rocksteady ordered as he steered.

"Uh, excuse you! This is our van!" Bebop corrected him as he climbed out and up. You listened with a racing heart as Bebop whooped and hollered and feet thumped on the roof. Then you heard four shouts, and two feet clomping back to climb in the van.
"Man, this light saber thingy Fly-boy gave me is wicked!" Bebop grinned as he looked back at you. "Cut your boyfriend and his bro's down faster than a lawnmower and grass."

Your eyes betrayed fear and shock, causing Bebop to laugh.

~~•~~

You fell asleep during the ride, your panicked, anxious and fearful thoughts wearing you down enough that you drifted off while Bebop argued why cheeseburgers were so great. When you woke up, you were slung over Rocksteady's shoulder, still tied by your hands and feet, and still gagged. You groaned, blinking until your vision cleared, and you saw Bebop looking up at you as he walked.

"Good evening Princess! Sleep well?"

You glared at him, biting down on your gag.

"Rhetorical question doll face, which you knew." He chuckled to himself as they both stopped, and Rocksteady set you down carefully. You looked up, guessing who you would see. You guessed right.

The Shredder.

You gulped, staring up at the masked samurai as he glared down at you. You had heard stories from the guys, and they were right. His glare made you wish you were dead.

"Remove her gag," he growled. Bebop nodded as he did so, remaining stone silent for once.

"Do you know why you are here, child?" He questioned you as if you were a four year old. You nodded.

"You're going to use me against the turtles, because of my friendship with them." You murmur, afraid that if you speak too loud you might set him off. 

-Why am I thinking Shredder is like some kind of bomb?- You wondered.

"Not just your friendship," you could've sworn you heard him smirking through his tone. "For your special relationship with the leader. You will be of great use to me, serving the most honorable purpose in history–"

You cut him off with a growl.
"There is nothing honorable in what you're doing. Hamato Yoshi has, is, and always will be 10 times more honorable than you. He is kind. You are evil. And I will die before serving anything in your command." You spat, glaring up at him. Your heart raced so fast, you were worried everyone in the room could heart it. Your pupils dilated while fear surged through your body as Shredder stood. He slowly stepped down from his throne, leaned down and grabbed your face with his armoured hands.

"While I admire that courage," he spoke quietly, menacingly, his breath warm and hitting your terror stricken face with every huff and every word. "I will soon beat it into cowardice and obedience. Take her away."

Even though you knew not where you were going, you were glad, at the moment, that you would be separated from Shredder for some time.

You couldn't imagine the horrors that awaited you.

~~•~~

"He failed. He didn't fight hard enough.. I guess my life wasn't enough motivation for Leonardo." You grit your teeth as the Purple Dragon steps away, admiring his handywork on your left shoulder.

The Foot Clan symbol, only deep blue instead of red.

Leo's love was forgotten. The days you two spent in his element form talking about the stars.

Leo's princess was gone.

Aahhhhhhh!!! It's starting!!!!!! I'm so excited oh my gosh!!!!!!! I hope you enjoy!!! And don't die from the suspense!
