Alpha Wolf
Disclaimer: I don't own the tmnt but this story idea is all mine.
POV: Leonardo
What am I doing? I'm not the one who's supposed to do this no. This is Raph's department. I'm supposed to stay home while he goes out without saying anything, not the other way around.
It was a stupid thing to do anyway. I am in so much trouble when I get back. Sure Raph was really, really being a jerk and really, really, really shouldn't have said what he did, but to just spontaneously blow up and deck him like fifty times and then run out even when your master's calling you and telling you to come back, that's even worse. Then purposefully leaving your shell-cell about a mile from where you really are so you won't be found so fast, hopefully not at all….yeah. I'm in really big trouble. I wonder what it would be like to just stay out all night. Just not go home. I don't really wanna go home. If I go home then I'm running back to a truckload of responsibilities and Raph. Who will most definatly rub all this in my face. I really don't wanna go home.
I sit on a hill on the outskirts of the city. This is my secret place. I come here when I want to be alone. When I don't want anyone to find me. It's worked pretty well so far. It's a field inside a little grove of trees and the lights from the city don't reach out here so I can stargaze all I want. No I don't think I'll go home tonight. I'll just watch the stars and then watch the sunrise. I love to watch the sunrise. It's different from the sunset because when the sun is setting everything calming down and going to sleep but when the sun is rising it's like a huge explosion because instead of settling down everything is coming to life. If you've never seen a sunrise then get off your lazy butt and get up early so you can watch one. They're so beautiful.
I'm sitting here trying my hardest to think of something to say when I do decide to go back. Heh knowing Don he probably put some kind of tracking chip on me secretly and is on his way here with Splinter even now. I really hope not. I hear a whistling sound behind me and jump up, draw my katanas, and turn around just in time to slice and arrow in half that was destined for my head. On it is a note. I read it.
Leonardo
No this is not the foot and yes we know all about you. We have been watching you for sometime now. Just a little note watch your back.
Someone very close.
That's not a nice thing to read in the dark. I hear another faint whistle and feel a small prick in the back of my shoulder. Knowing what has just happened I begin to grow dizzy and my hands go numb I drop my swords and try to take out the dart that I'm sure hit me but I can't find it. I can't reach it. Then all at once these people pop out of the trees and surround me, they wear a symbol I have never seen before. It looks like an hourglass but it's purple. Another dart hits me and I fall into darkness.

I struggle to regain consciousness. It was like trying to drive a car through a road, which was only meant for a bike, in a very thick fog with bees buzzing all around you. Stinging you. It really felt like I was being attacked by a thousand angry bees and my head hurt so much. It kind felt like a really bad hangover. If your wondering how I know how this feels it was only once and on conditions quite close to this. Splinter doesn't know. It was Casey who found me and brought me over to April's and she quietly snuck me back into my own bed. The only reason I remember this at all was because April told me in a rather long and loud lecture the following evening. I hear voices and try to concentrate on what they're saying.
"Are you sure it's strong enough for a procedure like this?" One voice says, male.
"Absolutely. Just look at it." Another, male as well
"Alright, alright. Lets get started." The first voice states.
I pry my eyes open only to snap them shut when a blinding light hits them.
"Hey I think it's awake."
"Well then hurry up!"
I open my eyes again this time prepared for the light when I feel a prick in my arm and following is a searing pain that shoots throughout my entire body. I cry out and mentally try to contact Splinter but can't because I can't concentrate enough. Then the pain becomes too much and I slip back into the cold, black tunnels.

"Hey! Hey wake up! Halloo. Anybody home?" I feel someone clutching my face and shaking it. I jerk back and open my burning eyes. The sight in front of me causes me to jump up and back myself into a corner.
There was a huge rat in front of me. Talking.
"Hey sleeping beauty's finally awake how are you feeling honey?" It was a girl rat.
"Rat's can't talk." I try to say but it comes out in pathetic whine.
"Of course we can dear are you feeling alright?"
I look down at my hands only to see paws. I shoot a look at my backside to find nothing. I look underneath me and find a long silky tail tucked firmly between my legs.
"This can't be happening." I mutter, but it comes out as another whine.
"Honey you okay?" The rat comes over to me and presses her paws against my belly. I yip and jump away only to hit my head on the low ceiling. I see bars and look out into a lab with lots of other animal in it.
I quickly assess what I just discovered and concluded that somehow in some miraculous way I had been turned into a puppy. A puppy because my paws were way too big for the rest of my body which implied that I was going to get big.
"I'm not a dog. No. No. I'm. I am not a dog."
"Of course your not a dog dear."
"I'm not?" I whimpered I felt relieved.
"No you're a wolf if I ever saw one."
I felt like I was going to faint.
"I. I wanna go home. This isn't my home. Do you know a way out?" I said as I gathered myself.
"Well I can get the latch up but then you'll have to jump down and find your own way out."
"I can do that. Please open it."
"Alright." She squeezes through the bars and makes her way over to latch. She lifts it with a click and the door pops open.
"My name's sera." The rat says once she rejoined me.
"Mine's Leonardo." I barked.
"Well Leonardo you best be on your way." I nodded in response and peered over the edge.
I was probably a good four feet up. Which for a little wolf pup is pretty high. I settle down on my haunches and drop myself down to the floor landing in an accidental roll. I have to remember what Donny said that one time. He said that because of their oversized paws puppies are unusually clumsy. Great I have to get out of here with big puppy paws.
I look back up to see that Sera has closed the cage with herself inside it. That'll but me a lot of time because if someone sees the cage opened or empty then they'll set off the alarm and I'm dog food. Bad expression to use. I run off toward the open door and make my way through many hallways. Avoiding any human I come across. I wander out into what looks like the front office and make a mad dash for the chairs hoping that no one saw me.
No one did and when the next person came into the door I dashed out and into the cold rain. I could now hear yelling from inside and knew that my little escape did not go unnoticed. I looked around as I ran and noticed that I was still in New York. I looked back and saw that there was many people running out of the building I had exited and they had just spotted me.
I began running for all I was worth. I knew this part of town so I dashed into an alleyway, jumping up and knocking down trash cans as I went through. It worked pretty well and soon enough the rain stopped. I kept running and hid underneath a parked car. I saw their feet run by but I did not come out for the life of me, which that was soon the case. The owner had decided to drive his car and I was under it. Lucky for me the roar of the engine alone scared the crud out of me so I shot out from underneath it and was spotted again.
The chase was on. I ran through alleys, leapt over fallen trashcans and other things, and then hid with a lady who was walking her fifteen dogs. They ran right by.
"Hey who're you?" A Saint Bernard asked?
I was still pretty scared so looking at this huge dog that could swallow me whole didn't do much. I ran back out and into and alley where I jumped into a dumpster and hid there for the rest of the day.

I have been put here on the streets for a week. My once soft fur is now tangled, muddy, and matted, my cute little chubby frame is now bony, and I'm really not feeling well. I was a slightly brown color originally but now it's just ridiculous.
I haven't seen those goons again. So my biggest enemy now is animal control. I will get back to my family. So doing that means that those geeks cannot catch me.
I'm rummaging around in an alley when suddenly these huge hands wrap themselves around me. I did the only thing that came to my mind. I turned around and bit them. My bite was followed by a hiss but the person did not drop me so I bit again.
The person then grabbed my snout and held it shut. With a big three fingered hand.
"That's getting really old really fast." Don's voice said.
I immediately stopped wiggling and calmed down. I had thought it was animal control, or those nut jobs from the lab, or some looney off the street. But it was Don. I was going home.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Donnatello immediately brought me home and was greeted by a very angry Raphael.
"Leo's missing and you bring home a dog?!"
"I beg your pardon?!" I bark.
"It's not a dog it's a wolf and Leo's probably fine he just doesn't wanna come home because of what you said last night. Besides you've stayed out longer and look at the poor thing."
"I am and you know what I don't care." With that he stormed off.
Donny looked down at me with sad tired eyes.
"Hey Donny it's me." I howled.
"Oh hush. Raph's right."
Realizing that he can't understand me I curl up and start crying. I was home and couldn't tell them so they were still worried sick.
Suddenly I feel a hand on me. Softly stroking me.
"Hey I'm sorry. Come on let's get you cleaned up and then we'll get you some food. How's that sound?"
"Yes that sounds great!" I barked loudly.
Don looks at me confused but then picks me up and heads towards the bathroom.
"That was interesting it was almost as if you could understand me, but that would be crazy."
"Well crazy things tend to happen to us." I growl.
"Huh? Okay Don the dog is not answering you its just making noises." He mumbles and sets me down on the floor.
"Don't worry Don I'll find a way to tell you guys that I'm home." I thought to myself.
