❝ i’ll stay in the rain as long as i damn well please, you MURDERER! ❞ roxie spat out, turning her head to glare at vivi out of the corner over her eye.
❝ who were those other people? when you killed me, there were other people- not capellans…one of them was furry. the others were green. who were they? ❞ roxie demanded. they’d been screaming in her dream, and the furry one had cradled her as she died.
♛ she held her tongue ; having been roxie’s mother for years past made it almost automatic to respond in a motherly manner. to tell her that she was being RUDE && to watch herself but .. she knew that she had no reason to tell her to keep herself kind, she had no standing to do anything right now. cassandra was right.
she did murder her. she tore a family apart in retaliation for her own being torn to shreds years ago, she’d .. she’d listened to her father’s hatred && didn’t think. she tore apart YEARS upon YEARS of friendship to simply murder her in front of her family to only regret it. she’d tried to atone for her past actions && mistakes ——- cassandra had shown her that there had been more to life than pain && anger but .. the one that didn’t give her much care won out in the end.
she’d chosen wrong.
she’d ended up a monster with a child. a child who ended up being her old friend && now everything had shattered again. just like everything else seemed to do && now she was locking emotions away to keep them hidden.
❝ do as you will, my love .. however those people were of earth. they were your family && by extension, my own. they had given you && i so much —– the ones who were green were the sons you had adopted, their names being michelangelo, donatello, raphael && leonardo .. && the one who was furry was .. ❞ she trailed off, swallowing hard.
memories of their distraught noises, their SCREAMS of fear, panic && agony ran through her head in a barrage && she felt sick.
she’d done this to them && it had been years since it had all happened. who knew where they were now. if they even still lived ——- if splinter had managed to continue on without the woman he had fallen in love with.
the woman who’d saved his soul.
❝ he was your husband. his name was .. his name was splinter. ❞
