Chapter 2: Back to the Scene

After we made it back home in the lair, everybody was making their way to their rooms to sleep for the night. I went into my room and closed the door with my black sheep in my arms. I sat in my bed and looked at her. "B.B. I know something is out there. You believe me, don't you?" I asked her and listened to her. Then I heard a knock at my door. "Oh, come in."

I heard the door open and it was Leo. "Hey Aqua. Is everything okay?" he asked me.

"Not really. I'm a little concerned about what happened earlier."

"You mean that light you saw?" he asked as he sat down at the edge of my bed.

"Yeah. It was green and flying around there. I'm a little worried about that."

"Hmm, if you'd like. We can investigate over there tomorrow if it'll make you feel better. How's that?"

I smiled. "Thanks Leo."

"You're welcome."

"Oh, B.B. says good night." I wagged my tail.

He chuckled. "Good night to you too B.B. and good night Aqua." he leaned in to kiss my cheek. "Sleep well."

"Good night." I said as I laid down and felt him tuck me in. I yawned as he left my room and closed my eyes.

~The next night~

We came back outside just like Leo promised to the same spot I saw the mysterious glowing green light.

"Leo why are we here again?" Raph groaned.

"I wanted to sleep in." Akira groaned as well.

"Aqua wanted to come back here. She said that she saw something before we left."

"Don't tell me, a firefly?" Akira laughed and the other boys laughed with her.

I scoffed and saw something very familiar. "Huh?" I looked straight ahead and saw that same light from last night right in front of me. And it was getting closer. "Uhh guys?!"

"Huh?" Leo looked at my direction. "Ah! Get in position!" he took out his katanas.

I took out my tanto and got ready to attack it. But before we did, the light floated down toward my feet and it diminished into a small green creature.

"W-What..?" I hesitated.

"What is that thing?" Mikey looked at it.

"I don't know. Donnie, what is it?" Leo asked his purple bandana brother.

"I... I don't know." Donnie shook his head. "I haven't seen this one in my books."

"Well you should know, you're the smart one." Akira nudged him.

"Bi... Bi..." the creature moaned softly.

"You poor thing." I cautiously got close to it.

"Aqua wait, it might attack you!" Leo warned me.

"But it's hurt. I don't think it's gonna hurt us." I said quietly. I got on my knees and crawled to it carefully. "Hey little one, are you okay?" I spoke to it.

"Bi..." the creature looked up to me and it looked like it was trying to get closer to me.

"Aqua..." Mikey whined with worry.

"Imma take a look." Raph stepped in front of me.

"Bi!" the creature cried out and something came out of the ground of what looked like plant vines. And it was thrashing around us.

"Wait Raph! You're scaring it." I said.

"Don't care!" Raph said as he was trying to attack the vines.

"Yo this thing is dangerous!" Akira said.

"Guys wait, I can do this!" I growled at them.

"How? It thinks we're enemies!" Mikey was tangled in the vines.

"If you guys trust me, maybe I can make it stop." I glared at them.

"I trust you Aqua. But hurry!" Leo was being tied up by the vines. "Way to be reckless Raph." he glared at his red bandana brother.

"Not my fault!" Raph flared back at Leo.

"Yes it is." I rolled my eyes.

"What she said." Donnie agreed.

"Okay. Here it goes." I said as I went closer while being impacted by the whipping vines. I crawled my way to the green injured creature. "Hey little one. I'm your friend. I don't wanna hurt you. I wanna help you."

"Bi!" it cried out and attacked me.

"Eek!" I shielded my eyes and stood my stance. "Raph didn't mean to attack you, he's a headstrong type of guy. And he can be stupid for not thinking straight."

"I heard that!" Raph said.

"That was for you to hear anyway!" I turned back to the injured creature. "Please calm down. I promise you that we won't hurt you. You're just afraid and it's okay to be afraid."

The creature stopped whipping its vine attack. "Bi..." it sounded out a relaxed sound. The creature's vines were starting to untie the guys and Akira.

"Finally." Akira said.

"Hush Akira. She's coaxing this fairy thing." Leo told her.

"Fine." she crossed her arms.

"Guys quiet. Aqua's in the zone." Donnie said to both of them.

"It's okay little one. You just take it easy, and we will too." I said as I reached my hand out to it again. "Now... there..." I said as I laid my hand on its head and gave it some gentle strokes.

"Bi... Bi..?" the creature relaxed and looked up to me.

I smiled as I gave it some more strokes. "There we go. See? We're friends now."

"Good job Aqua." Mikey whispered.

"Shh." I hushed him. "Come on." I gently placed my hands under the small being and lifted it from the cold ground. I brought it into my arms and held it like a baby.

"Whoa..." Mikey peeked. "You did it."

"Great job Aqua." Leo smiled and gave me a thumbs up.

"Whatever. Let's bring this so called thing home." Akira started walking back. "It's hurt either way."

"Yeah. Let's go." Raph said too.

"Bi..?" the creature held onto my finger.

I looked down at it. "It's okay. You're safe with me." I spoke softly too it and held its hand in my finger in return.

"Bi... Bi..." the creature nodded and closed its eyes to rest.

I smiled and gave it a little bit of wolf affection on the top of its head. "Now then, let's get back home and treat it." I said to the other boys.

"Come on." Leo said as we started making our way back home.
