Chapter 7

Previously...

"No way dudette." Mikey shook his head, "These look like they came from..." "The Creep!"

(Joleen's POV)

'Oh no!' I thought as I paced the clearing.

"What are we gonna do Mikey? The Creep has them!" I continued pacing but suddenly stopped, clutching my head and staring at the ground in hororr, "What if he takes the mutagen outta Donnie?! What if he hurts Kat?! What if he comes after us next?!" I squeaked and took off towards the farmhouse. I needed Leo's orders! I didn't know what to do!

"Leo!" I shouted, busting open the door.

"What is it?" He came hobling out of the kitchen and I noticed how he limped a bit. His leg must be a bit stiff.

"Leo! The Creep's back! It took Donnie and Kat! What do I do?!" I ran up to him and looked into his saphire eyes, waiting for him to come out all 'Fearless Leader' mode and give me a plan.

"What?! But he was reduced to goo!" Leo exclaimed.

I bit back my annoyance, "Yeah... at the end of that episode in my demension... the jar kinda cracked?" I gazed at him innocently and gave him a toothy grin.

He sighed, "We need to find them. April! Casey! Raph!" He called. They came bounding down the stairs, practically tripping over each other to get to the kitchen.

"What is it Leo?" April asked.

"Donnie and Kathrine are in trouble. The Creep's back." I couldn't help but notice the flicker of fear in Raph's eyes, but it was gone before anyone else noticed.

"We have to go find them! And pound that freak into the ground!" I took note that Raph soon turned his fear into anger as he always does.

Leo nodded slightly, "Let's move." He led the way outside where Mikey was returning.

"Hey guys. We gonna save them?" He asked goofly.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes Mikey." I grabbed his hand and yanked him along as we ran, ignoring the clear blush on his freckled cheeks.

"Where did they disappear?" Leo asked me sternly. I smiled. I was so lucky to have him as a friend.

"This way." I took the lead and led them to the dandelion patch, "There's the tracks." I pointed to the muddy footprints in the glossy grass. The tracks led further into the forest.

"Alright, let's go."

"We're not really going into the big, scary, dark forest are we?" Mikey's voice quivered.

"Yes, we must save them." I narrowed my eyes, knowimg that Kat would do the same for me, "Let's go back to the shack that the Creep went to before. He might still be there." I growled.

"Good plan. Let's move." Leo unsheathed his Katanas and the gleamed in the sunlight. I shivered as we entered the heart of the forest. I felt myself pressing closer to Mikey for comfort but I didn't notice. I just hoped Kat and Donnie were ok.

'Please hold on little sister. I'm coming.'

(Kathrine's POV)

I groaned as I regained consciousness. It felt like I was spinning and my arms felt like jelly.

"Kathrine?" I heard a voice, but it sounded far away.

"Kathrine, can you hear me?" I moaned in response and tried to lift my hand to show I was awake.

"Oh Kathrine! I'm so glad you're ok!" I finally recignized Donnie's voice.

I cracked open my eyes and peered around in a haze. I tried to speak but my throat screamed in protest ad I let out a cracked whimper.

"Don't try to talk. That Creep nearly crushed your windpipe so be careful." I lookd to my right and saw Donnie completely tied up in thick, leafy vines.

I looked at him with concern and worry, "It's ok, he didn't turn me into a plant." Donnie chuckled a bit, "Wasn't that funny when Raph was acting like a dog?"

I smiled warmly but then I heard a loud bang. I whipped my head around, making me wince, and saw the Creep! I growled low in my throat and stood protectively in front of the defenseless purple-clad turtle. It was then I realized I wasn't tied up.

"Kathrine! What are you doing? Run!" I just mearly shook my head and got into a fighting stance, 'I won't leave you Don.'

The Creep didn't make a sound as he stomped noisely up to me. I backed up a bit and unexpectedly attempted a roundhouse kick. He just caught it effortlessly caught my foot and threw me to the other side of the small room.

"Kathrine!"

I shook it off and stood up again. While he had his back turned, I darted forward and snarled at the mutant plant. I leaped onto his back and dug my nails into his bark and moss. I furiously bit his head and scratched his shoulders. He tried to shake me off but failed. He decided to ignore me since I clearly wasn't hrting him, and reached down for Donnie. I growled. He couldn't touch another mutant! I jumped to the floor, slid under his legs and appeared in front of him, blocking his hand inches from the turtle's face. I jumped up and grabbed his face, hanging on with my hands and feet.

The Creep stumbled backwards as I blocked his view and I repeatedly kicked his face until Casey's mask was thrown off. Then he got mad.

The Creep's eyes glowed a poison green and he snatched my neck. I cried out from the sensitivity and he threw me into another cornor, where I desturbed a family of foxes. I looked up in horror as I saw the Creep pick Donnie up. He instantly screamed in pain as the mutagen was sucked out of him. Thinking fast, I rushed to a wooden table and snatched up a jar full of glowing green mutagen.

I opened my mouth, "Hey, big dummy!" My throat hurt like shell but I didn't give up, "What will happen of I pour this precious mutagen onto the ground hmm? You'll be left with none!" I hissed. The creature looked back at me and I raised the glass jar.

"Kathrine! No!" Donnie screeched. I ignored him and threw it down onto the ground in front of me. Some splashed on me and I dropped to my knees.

"Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed. It felt like someone was tearing me limb from limb!

"Donnie! Run!" I threw I glass shard with my last bit of energy, cutting his ropes.

"But! I can't leave you here!" Donnie wailed.

"Get the others!" My voice strained and I gasped from the pain. Donnie reluctantly ran out of the shack and I heard a grunt next to me. I slightly turned my head to see the Creep slowly melting into a disgusting, green, gooey puddle.

I smirked in satasfaction and closed my eyes. My last thought was, 'I kept my promise.'

I know this wasn't as good as my other chapters but it'll get better. Trust me.
