Hello Everyone! Excited to say finally decided to write this story down. So everyone is clear about what version of the turtles and such here is what to expect:

TMNT Series: 2003 series

Age: All of them are around 17 (yes ik originally they are around 15 but hey my story my rules )

New Character: She is around 17 but that's all I will give away about her for now.

April: Same as the original 2003 series I like to picture her at around 20

Casey: Same goes for Casey as April but I'd say he'd be around 21

Alright I think that covers most of the confusion that would happen if I didn't explain that. So enjoy my story and I hope you like it!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Destiny that Lies within

Prologue: Cursed!

The night was quiet especially for a girl named Destiny. She had gone on a long walk after leaving her home to escape a rising fight between her parents. Some nights she would just walk out the door when it began. It was the best thing to do, otherwise she'd lose her mind from all the screaming and nonsense.

Tonight though she found herself out longer than usual. Normally she would have been back home around an hour ago. However tonight was different, a lot of thoughts had been clouding her mind. Thoughts about her now ex-boyfriend cheating on her. Her family, who was now slowly falling apart, all because no one would speak to each other. The only person who wasn't causing her grief was her grandmother.

Destiny sat down as she took in her surroundings. She was in the woods, not far from her home. The wind picked up a little bit as Destiny looked around at the stream and flowers.

"My dear you seem lonely."

Destiny jumped up when the voice spoke. She was faced with a woman that looked like she was in her late 20s. She had the same blonde hair as Destiny and the same blue eyes as well. The young girl could have sworn she was looking into a mirror, well an older version anyway.

"Who are you?" Destiny asked her.

"That is not of importance my dear, now I have something to give you."

Destiny was a little curious about what she was talking about but her fear took over. She then sprinted through the woods easily, grateful that she knew them so well. She came to the edge of the woods where the stream ended by a waterfall. Destiny looked back and was relieved that she no longer saw the woman. However her relief was short lived.

"Running will get you nowhere."

Destiny's eyes widened as she looked at the woman again. How the hell is this even possible? Just a minute ago she wasn't even anywhere near her.

"How the hell did you do that?"

"Soon you will learn how."

Confused and frightened Destiny turned to run again but then remembered she was at the edge.

"There is nowhere to run Destiny."

"How did you know my name?"

Sadly she never got an answer. The woman formed some weird kind sphere in her hands. It glowed a light blue. Destiny was now freaking out, how was this woman doing that? She was sure she wasn't asleep. What the hell was going on?

The woman then threw the sphere at her. Destiny tried to dodge it but found herself falling off the side of the waterfall. As she fell the sphere hit her and she felt herself change. It was a little painful but Destiny didn't focus on what was going on with her body. She was more concerned about dying from the fall. Though when she hit the bottom she felt nothing. Destiny opened her eyes and saw she was surrounded in the same light blue light, the sphere was. Looking at herself she noticed she was no longer human. She had paws, a tail and fur. She rushed over to the water and saw the reflection of a lioness staring back at her. Destiny was now pissed. She looked up at the woman, who was still standing on the edge of the waterfall.

"What the hell did you do to me?!"

The woman only chuckled at Destiny's outburst. Looking back at her she gave her somewhat of an answer.

"Time will tell exactly what you are meant to do young Destiny. Your fate lies within a city and there you will find that answers to which you seek."

"What are you talking about you crazy lady?!"

The woman was now slowly disappearing in front of Destiny's eyes.

"Destiny you now hold a strange kind of power. Power that was buried inside of you. I simply brought it out. Know that you are no longer the same girl you once were. This power can be a gift or a curse depending on how you use it."

"What do you mean a curse?!"

"Anyone who falls in love with you will take the same form you are in right now. You are able to revert back to your human form whenever you want. However this is not the only power you hold. That young Destiny you will have to figure out on your own. Best of luck."

The wind picked up and the woman was gone. Leaving Destiny to herself. Sure she found it kind of cool she was now half lion. Though she knew she could never tell or show anyone what had happened. Who would want her then?

Destiny looked up to the sky, wondering what the woman had meant by curse or gift. How could anything like this be a gift? Her life changed alright and now she was no longer her normal self, but a cursed version of herself.
