Ok so when there are five reviewers telling me there indeed has to be a sequel… well I just can't ignore that. I am going to be working on some one-shots, at least five at the moment, Evil Unseen, and this sequel. Nothing will be posted of these for awhile, maybe a week or two at least, but they are coming as I get them started and start my next college class. So below is the preview for the sequel to The Classic Deception which will be the beginning of the first chapter. The summary will be on my profile as well. I don't have a title yet. So if you have any ideas shout them out. I love to hear from you guys. =D
The Classic Deception Sequel Summary
They know he's Shade. There's a bounty on his head, but Leo doesn't care about that. They've threatened his family. The promise for no harm to come to them while he's still alive does little to ease his mind when there have been attempts on his life not once or twice, but three times. Will he find this killer? This murder who wants his death? Or will Leo meet his own death and ultimately be the cause of his family's demise? Who can he trust that won't put his family or himself in danger?
Ch. 1 partial preview:
A year has passed. Leo has never felt so alive running free along the rooftops of New York City. The wind rushing past him, lifting up his bandana tails behind him. He ran on for miles, maybe hours alone in the dark of the night. Breathless, he came to a stop over the corner of Third and Main. He let his gaze drift over the bright lights as his breath slowly returned to normal. He sighed in contentment. It felt good to just get out on his own once and awhile. He looked downward at the few people still milling about below him, some holding hands, other walking alone. His eye caught a glimpse of his left wrist, the scar from that horrid night standing out against his green skin. It had healed nicely, almost invisible. But he could still see it. He knew his family could still see it. Though now, he didn't feel any of the old feelings he had when he had given himself that cut. He was glad to be alive, happy to be around his family. He would never try to kill himself again. Ever.
With a sigh, he turned to go back home. It had been hours since he left and he didn't want his family to worry about him. Sometimes he could still see that horror in Mikey's eyes when ever his baby brother's gaze landed on his scar. He caught Donatello cringing every once and awhile at the memory it brought, not as often as before, but still there all the same. Raphael didn't show it in his eyes or even in his body language, but he knew the red banded turtle still worried once and awhile when he was gone alone too long. Leo wasn't hurt that their trust had been a little broken from that night, but tonight as he looked up into the stars that he could see, he wasn't bothered by that fact anymore. The trust was nearly rebuilt, the memories nearly put to rest. They were moving on and he couldn't ask for it to be turning out better.
Leo climbed down the fire escape and lifted the lid to the man hole in the alley. Slipping underground, he put the lid back and dropped down into the sewers. His walk started out slow, but before he knew it he couldn't help running again. The feeling of freedom flowing through him once more. The feeling of no worries, no burdens, and no dark thoughts. Without realizing it, he had taken the long way home instead of the shorter route. It didn't take him that much longer, but he hoped his family wasn't too worried about him. Stopping at the lair door, he froze, his eyes going wide. A white note was taped to the door, written out in newspaper cutouts. He slowly reached up and pulled the note down. He paled reading the note before tucking it in his belt determined to not let his brothers or father read it. He didn't want them to worry. He would fix this before they even knew anything about it.
"I know you where Shade. Saki knows you were Shade. Does your family know? That doesn't matter. What matters is your family's safety. Saki has placed a bounty on your head. If you don't want any harm to come to your family after I collect that bounty, meet me at Market and South Street. Maybe we can work out a deal."
