Me: Watch me!
Mikey: I won't let you!
Me: What are you going to do huh?
Mikey: ...I won't let you!
Me: Well I'm going to anyway!
Mikey: NO!
Me: In fact I'm writing it down in this chapter!
Mikey: But...But I'm the main character in the story!
Me: I'm the author, so what I say goes!
*I changed the rating of the story. This chapter gets...bloody*
April ran to the end of the alley. The beeping sound of a T-phone ricocheted off the wall of the buildings, letting the owner know the battery was near death. April dropped to her knees and shook the owner of the phone. The beeping still rang, as April shouted his name.
"DONNIE!" The phone lay next to him, April's contact pulled up with the screen smeared in blood. The mutant lay in h=a pool of his own blood in a fetal position hugging himself in fear of more pain. The tattered purple cloth hang around his beak as the sound of rough gasps were heard. His eyes were wide, a pair of red brown eyes gleamed with terror. Blood poured from his arm and the cuts in his legs were enough proof that someone had abused the right of a weapon. April grabbed his arm and checked his pulse.
Donnie's hand shakily reached for hers. "There's...n-no...need for...that...April..." He rasped out through the scratchiness in his throat. April's hand shot up to her mouth and a gasp escaped her.
"Donnie..." April whispered as she held onto is hand. "We have to get you home. My home."
Let's go to Raph...
The breeze past him in a hurry as he raced across the rooftops to his destination. The mutant had finally thought about it and decided to go to April's apartment to configure where his brothers were. The sound of metal clashed through the darkness as Raph climbed up the fire escape leading to her window. He knocked once, twice, three times before he received an answer.
The window opened to a startled April, wearing a blood splattered shirt. Her hands were bathed in the red liquid, while she held a bandage in one hand and a water bottle in the other. Both objects hit the floor, as April slung her arms around Raph and started crying.
"Raph...I thought you were dead."
Raph; not knowing how to react, the blood trickling down his shell, slowly accepted her hug.
"Don't worry. I'm okay. But are you?" He said after they had pulled away and he had stepped inside. April looked down as a sob escaped her. "This...This isn't my blood."
Raph's green eyes flared. "Who's is it? Donnie's or Leo's" April fell to her knees and gasped uncontrollably.
"It's Donnie's!" She cried out through her gasps as tears fell down her cheeks.
Raph ran past April, into the living room. His eyes became wide at the sight before him.
"DONNIE!"
It seems like a great time to go to Mikey and Genna...
"What time is it?" Genna asked, not expecting an answer. Mikey looked around Sioux City, Iowa (1) and shrugged his shoulders.
"I can't find a clock anywhere." Mikey said from his prone position. Genna lay next to him a couple feet away, already half asleep. Sioux City wasn't as noisy as Cincinnati or New York. Trees covered the ground below the two, which Mikey found very interesting. He never got the opportunity to see trees in New York City. Yes, trees did grow there. But the trees he had seen (so far) had outnumbered all of ones that grown in New York state.
"I'm going to sleep." Genna mumbled as she rolled over so that she wasn't facing the city anymore. Mikey giggled at her statement.
"But you already are asleep. Half, if that counts." Genna mumbled something inaudible and curled up. "What did you say?" Mikey asked as he nudged Genna's shoulder.
Genna rolled over again to face him. "I said I'm scared. Of my uncle when I go back home."
Mikey pulled away. "Why? Genna, what did he do?"
Genna sighed and pulled up her shirt sleeve. Bruises and cuts battered her pale creamy skin. "This. Is what he does."
Mikey's eyes flashed with rage. An emotion the youngest turtle has never felt before.
"Why...Why did he do it Genna?" Mikey said through his anger.
Genna looked down at the mist slowly covering the city. "I don't know."
Mikey bowed his head. "Don't let me find him. I won't play nice."
