Hey Guys, I've finally decided to continue this story, and I'm going to finish it! Sorry about the really long delay but I've wrote the next five chapters and I'm going to be posting at least a chapter per week (hopefully). Since this and the next chapter were already up I'm fixing the errors and updating them. I'll then add chapter 2 which is new! Please review and let me know what you think!

Warnings: At the moment I've rated this fic T as it will contain a lot of torture, if anyone thinks it needs upping to M let me know

Disclaimer: I don't own them, sadly.

Prologue

Her eyes roved over the still form spread out and bound before her to a wide table in the centre of the room. The sedatives in his system had kept him sleeping heavily while he was brought to the building, and upon arrival he had been stripped and bound as she had requested.

Moving from her spot in the door way, Karai slowly moved over to the table where her captive slept, her sharp eyes taking in the mutant before her. A small part of her shouted out that this was wrong. That revenge would not bring her Father back. However the small voice of mercy was soon quashed as the image of Leonardo invaded her mind. It was Leonardo's fault her Father had been sentenced to an icy asteroid for eternity. Leonardo's fault she would never see the man who raised her, taught her, protected her and cared for her ever again. And now it was Leonardo's turn to lose his father.

Glancing down at the sleeping form of Splinter, she tentatively reached out a hand and laid it on his chest, feeling the steady heart beat beneath the grey fur. She had to admit she was curious about the mutant, Leonardo and his brothers were truly unique creatures and yet their Master was even more unique. The only mutant rat in the world. Aside from fighting against Leonardo's family she had never really been close enough to truly examine them, but now curiosity overtook her as she ran her hand down Splinter's middle and continued her examination of her sleeping prisoner.

Whilst she hated the rat as much as she did his sons, her anger and seething hatred was aimed at Leonardo. She had at first thought of him as a kindred spirit, different to her, but similar in many ways. She had warned him, begged him to leave her Father alone, to stay out of the Foot's business. But he had not listened, the constant interference of the turtles had worn her father down, driving rational thought from his mind and with it any small trace of the man she called Father. Hot anger bubbled up inside Karai as her mind continued to bombard her with the memories of her Father's last few months on this planet. Her last months with him.

He was blind in his rage and anger, his plans became more elaborate but more flawed until once again he was defeated by the turtles. By Leonardo. Yet this time the utroms intervened, and punished him so cruelly, banishment to an unreachable asteroid. They had in a way, killed her Father. So now in her own way she would destroy the family that Leonardo cherished so. She would make Leonardo feel everything she felt and then more.

She had at first wanted to capture Leonardo to torture and eventually kill. But that would have been too kind, she wanted him to suffer as she had suffered. She would not just kill his family, she would break them. One by one if she had to. There was nothing Leonardo loved more than his family, it was his strength but also his greatest weakness and Karai would exploit it.

She suddenly stopped her examination of the rat as she felt him try to move slightly on the table, which was all but impossible the way he had been bound tightly to the table, as if he were on display in a science class. Ignoring the signs of her captive waking she continued to poke and prod the rat moving downwards to his lower anatomy. She was curious after all. Karai knew what she would have to do. Hurting the rat, would hurt the turtles, but she knew the one who would be the most affected was Leonardo. Besides this was nothing more than the first stage, at the end Leonardo's family would all feel her rage. When they were battered and broken, she would go for him. No torture would hurt Leonardo as much as watching his family crumble around him, because of him. Moving away from the rat who was continuing to stir Karai strode to the door of the cell. It was time.

The responsible one. The Leader. The one who took her Father from her.

He would soon know how it feels to lose everything you have ever known. He would learn that control is merely an illusion and he is not the one pulling the strings.
