Chapter 2 I will be there
(Donnie's P.O.V.)
This week has been amazing! I got the girl of my dreams, my brothers were proud, I was doing better in training and I think Casey's taking things good. I made a promise that April would not get in between our friendship and I intend to keep it. I'm sitting on the couch with April while Mikey watches a show. Leo and Raph had decided to do some extra training and were in the dojo with Splinter, and Casey was off with his family. April shifted closer to me and I welcomed her in my arms. I remembered the night when we first got together. We went out on the rooftops and I held her close...
(Flashback)
We were looking at the beauty of the night when I saw the most beautiful star. It was just under the moon but it sparkled the brightest out of all the stars in the night sky. "You see that star April?" I asked and she nodded. "Remember it cause if anything happens to me I want you to put your faith in that little star, and I'll do the same. It will be a beacon, and we can find each other." She hugged me tighter and let out a sigh. I knew it sounded cheesy but it would help us through ruff times when we couldn't be together.
(End flashback)
Yep, nothing could ruin this moment. If only I knew that my world would be crashing down the next night.
It was the next night and April had training with Splinter, while my brothers watched some weird stuff together. They asked if I wanted to join but I had too much stuff to do in my lab so I declined. I barely even gotten started when Casey entered. I looked up at him surprised. "What can I do for you Casey?" He looked at me with a smile but I kept getting a bad feeling about it but ignored the feeling when Casey responded.
"Just wanted too see if you wanted to hang out, you know go run over some roof tops." I was shocked and happy that he wasn't upset about the whole April ordeal. I knew I had do to some projects but I'm sure we'll be back soon. "Sounds great." And we were off.
We had been walking for about an hour and I was getting anxious. We kept getting closer and closer to the Shredder's lair and I didn't know what he was up to. "Uh Casey maybe we should head back." He turned to face me and gave me a develish grin. "I don't think you'll be going anywhere for a while Don." I was way confused but then like fifty foot bots came out of nowhere and started attacking me. "What the heck!" I grunted. I saw how none were attacking Casey. "Casey whats going on?" He looked at me as if it wasn't obvious. "What's going on is that April should be with me and some mutant. And so if I got rid of you she would finally see for herself that I'm way better than a pathetic turtle. Oh and of course your brothers won't get in the way sense they'll spend all their endless time searching for you." I couldn't believe this. What was worse is that I couldn't escape the foot soldiers and I was losing this fight. 'Shell I gotta get out of here and warn the others' I thought. But it was too late. I got knocked down and the foot wouldn't let me get up.
I looked up at Casey and saw Shredder behind him. "Perfect." He said so coldly. "Knock him out and place him where I told you too so his brothers won't be able to find him so easily." Ok I hated the sound of that and before I could fully process what was going on, a soldier knocked me with the end of his sword and the last thing I saw was Casey's face.
(April's P.O.V)
I just finished my training with Splinter when Casey rushed in the lair with a cold sweat. Everyone gathered around him, including myself, to see what happened. I noticed that Donnie wasn't here and that he went out with Casey. Oh no. I was silently praying in my head that the thing Casey was worrying about had nothing to do with Donnie. A part me was hoping that Donnie would come running through the turnstiles but no such luck. Finally it looked like Casey could speak. "There was a foot attack. We tried to call but there was just so many and I was about to get knocked out when Donnie saved me and told me to get you guys and then he was out. So without having anyone follow me I came here as quick as I could." I couldn't believe this. We had only dated for a week and Don is already in danger. I walked away from the others. I knew they must be upset, especially Splinter, but I just needed some alone time.
I walked up to the surface and jumped on a nearby rooftop. I saw the night sky and saw the star under the moon. "Oh Donnie." He said if anything happened then that star would be a beacon for us so we could find each other. "I will be there Donnie."
(Donnie's P.O.V.)
I woke to find my self chained in a cell. It was dark but it had a single window that even if I stood I would not be able to reach. I got as close to the window as I could and I could see the star that I told April about.
(This will be another duet sung by Donatello and April, Donnie's lines will be slanted and April's will be regular, when they sing together it will be bold.)
In the light that falls at moon rise, in the rhythm of the rain. In the miracle of ordinary days.
In the hush of night I will be in the whispers of lovers, everywhere you will find me there.
In the rustle of a curtain, in the bustle of the world. In a thousand little unexpected ways.
When you lift you gaze I will be like the shimmer of one small star, out there shining everywhere!
I will be there beside you through the lonely nights that fall. So close your eyes, remember my embrace.
I will be there like mercy; I will find you through it all.
This do I swear, I will be there.
In a language never spoken, live the promises we've made. In the endless love that owned me heart and soul.
In the certainty I will always be true and as near as my next prayer. You will find me there.
In the echo of the city, in the hunting of the wind. In mysterious, extraordinary ways.
Through the darkest sky I will be like the shimmer of one small star!
Out there shining everywhere!
I will be there beside you, through the lonely nights that fall. So close your eyes, remember my embrace. I will be there like freedom; I will find you through it all.
This do I swear, I will be there
In a harbor quarter
In the stone and mortar
In the star that we both share
In the sound of laughter
Now and ever after
Look for me I will be there!
I will be there, beside you through the lonely nights that fall. So close your eyes.
Remember my embrace
Remember my embrace
I will be there
Yes will be there
Like justness; I will find you through it all!
This do I swear
This do I swear
I will be there
This do I swear I will be there.
This do I swear, I will be there.
I looked out the window, hoping April would hear my prayer. As I got as close as I could to the window, the Shredder entered. "Well well well. So tell me Donatello how do you feel now. Knowing that your best friend betrayed you over a girl and now you're stuck here." I didn't answer him. I didn't want him to know my emotions so I just stared at him with no expression. "I see your not talking, well lets see if you talk to this." He pulled out what looked to be a black whip. Crud. He was going to whip me, probably so he could hear me scream or find out where the lair is. "This is how it's going to work, you will be whipped once a week. Even if you reveal the location to your home. There isn't anything I want from you." "Then why did you agree to take me?" I yelled. I was getting so confused. "Well once Mr. Jones has what he wanted then he's gonna find a way to get me the rest of your family. I'll kill Yoshi first then torture your brothers." Wait what about me? I was about to ask when he already answered. "You will most likely be dead by then." I knew that couldn't be right. My brothers would save me before then. "What if my brothers save me?" He chuckled. what was so funny. "You see Donatello were not in my regular lair. We're on the edge of New York. Some place where your brothers will never find you. Even if they did it would be nearly impossible for them to save you." Oh shell. Wow Casey really did want to get rid of me. Well I was gonna have to find my own solution I guess. As I was thinking some foot ninja unchained me and forcefully chained me against the wall where salt water was immediately dumped on me. I knew pain was coming soon, but I wasn't about to let Shredder hear me cry out so he would know that his torture was working.
It hurt, it hurt a lot. The pain was so agonizing I didn't remember to try not to scream so I did. I screamed as loud as I could. Hoping my brothers would hear my cries and bust down that door to stop the pain and make sure they knew what Casey did. But it didn't happen. No one came to save me. No one came to stop the agonizing pain.
Finally he stopped. "Now mutant, you will be brought food every other day. You will be escorted to the restroom once a day." He then pulled a knife out of his pocket. "This knife will not be able to cut through the chains, when you think you cannot handle this life anymore you can either say you want to die and I will come and kill you or you can kill yourself." I was pulled off the wall and chained back to the ground. "Oh and don't rely on your family, and if you try to meditate I will start electrocuting you once a week. Have a nice stay mutant since it will be the last place you ever stay at." He left me and the foot followed. I was alone with my thoughts. "Well might as well get some sleep." I drifted off to sleep, hoping that I wouldn't have to stay here long and that Casey would find the errors in his ways.
(April's P.O.V.)
I finished singing to myself hoping that Donnie would hear my prayer. I was gonna stay longer when Casey joined me. "Hey Red, I'm really sorry about Don." I knew Casey tried his best and he's been so comforting about this. "I hope we'll find him." I replied. He looked at me comforting and lead me down the fire escape into the sewers to get to the lair. 'Don't worry Donnie I'll find you.' I thought before we entered the lair. If only I knew that it would take a long time till we would even get close to finding Donnie, or realize that we had a traitor in this family.
I really hope you guys enjoyed the song. I also hope this isn't too much of a cliffhanger. I thank people who have read this story and took the time to fav/follow/review. I hope you enjoy this story, if so please fav/follow/review if you haven't already. I still need to know if people want me to include Donnie singing Hell to your doorstep. If no one says anything I won't be doing it, if people do then It will be coming up in a few chapters, I just need to know ahead of time. See ya guys later.
