Set just after Donnie and April get together, rated for future chapters which have references to torture, not sure how many chapters this will be.
Donatello furiously kicked an empty soda can off the rooftop ignoring the echoing clanging sound it made when it bounced onto the street below. He wanted to yell and shout, to punch someone just for the hell of it. But at the same time he wanted to curl up into his shell and cry. But that wouldn't fix the situation. That wouldn't bring April back.
It had been nearly three weeks since the Kraang had kidnapped her on her way back from school. Since then he, his brothers and Casey had spent every second, that wasn't taken up by school or training, seeking out all the secret Kraang hide outs where they might be hiding her. So far they hadn't found any sign of the red head and every dead end cut into him like a knife. Each second they spent chasing a dead end was another second April spent in the hands on the Kraang, another second that he was failing her.
What made Donatello even more frustrated was that it had happened a few days after, what he would swear was, the best day of his life. When he'd finally found the courage to admit his feelings for her, only to find she felt the same way! At first Donnie had thought he was dreaming, that no one could love a six foot mutant turtle, but all doubts had been blown away the second she kissed him, disproving all his insecurities. He'd never been so happy in his life.
But no sooner had he gotten the girl of his dreams did it all come crashing down just a few days later when Casey came charging into the lair, in a blind panic, shouting about how April had been snatched up in a white Van full of Kraang.
Closing his eyes, Donnie took a deep breath forcing himself to calm down. He had to remain focused if he was going to find April and he just can't think when he's frustrated and he flatly refused to even contemplate the possibility that she might be dead. April was a fighter, she was strong. There was no way she was dead.
A hand on his shoulder made him jump back, arms up, ready to fight whoever it was. He'd been so engrossed in his thoughts that he hadn't heard his brother Leo come up behind him. If he had been an enemy, Donnie would've been in serious trouble. "Easy Donnie" Leo said, raising his hands to show he meant no harm. Donatello turned away, his arms falling back to his side as he stared out at the city below, but not really seeing it. His mind was elsewhere.
"Raph says they haven't found anything" Leo told him gently, "Their heading back to the lair to see if Splinters heard anything".
In order to cover more ground the team had been split into two, Leo and Donnie taking one side of the city, whilst Raph, Mikey and Casey took another. It was easier with Leo, although the others were equally concerned about April as he was, Leo had more patience and tact when it came to dealing with emotions. Plus the others weren't too sure how to handle an emotional Donnie, he was normally the calmest of the four brothers, so Leo had stepped up.
"We should've found her by now Leo" Donnie sighed, ignoring the comforting hand Leo placed back on his shoulder.
"Aprils our friend, we'll find her" Leo replied. "No matter how long it takes"
They stood there for a while, neither of them saying anything. Eventually Leo gave him a nudge, "Come on, let's get back home, we can't do anything more tonight, and who knows, maybe Sensei has heard something". It was a while before Donnie reluctantly nodded, turning to follow his older brother over the roof tops towards the man hole cover that lead to their home. "I'll find you April" he thought to himself as he ran "I promise; I will find you".
Thanks for reading, will hopefully have the next chapter up soon x
