"Are you alright?"

"A bunch of bounty hunters want to kill my sister. The worst thing is that they are of my own kind"

Master Splinter took a long sip of his tea before gently setting it down on the table, "We must train Elodie about our ways. We will need everyone available in on our side"

Elodie almost felt like a scream was caught inside her throat. She always thought and gave credit that what the turtles did was insanely cool. But could she ever do it? Never… and not in God knows how many days until the Bounty Hunters figure out where Rain is.

"Why not Rain, she'll be one kick ass baby" Mikey encouraged.

"Mikey!" April scolded.

"Mikey. Not now. She barely even knows her own name" Donnie put in.

"Still… think about the possibility" Mikey put in.

"Mikey"

"Come on, Raph you've got to think it's cool"

"I think it was cool when she find those ninja stars"

"Raph!"

"She was near ninja stars?" Elodie looked over to the other turtles. "She could've killed someone"

"She could've killed Mikey" Raph smirked. "It would've been funny too"

"What if it hit her?"

"She can heal rapidly, remember?"

"Do you really want to test that theory out, Raph?" Elodie clenched her fists.

A hand went onto her shoulder once again as everyone's expressions changed. Elodie was confused for a moment until she turned around and noticed that half of everything in the room was floating. She turned around, closed her eyes, and steadied her breathing. When she opened her eyes, she could tell that nothing was floating up because of her.

"I think you need to teach her how to control her temper. She's the one that they may want after a while"

"Speak for yourself!"

"That's enough" Master Splinter voice out.

"So what's our plan of attack?" April changed the subject. "If we don't figure out how to defeat them then they might find her here"

"We don't even know where they are" Casey voiced out.

"Actually…" Donnie replied.

"You found the lair?"

"Not exactly" Donnie made his way over to his computer, "I've been reviewing the footage on Elodie's street the night her parents were attacked"

"And what did you find?" Leo asked.

"A few scrimmages of what they look like" Donnie blew up pictures of dark shadows. "But I'm working on it"

"The footage looks like crap" Raph mumbled.

"I said I was working on it" Donnie looked over his shoulder. "But check this out"

Donnie leaned over the keyboard and typed in at an almost frantic speed. The pictures disappeared and a trail zigzagging around the city. Elodie folded her arms over her chest and squinted at the screen. But when she looked around the room, everyone else looked pale.

"What's wrong?" Elodie asked.

Raph sank down onto a near seat as Casey ran his hand through his hair. April almost looked close to tears as the silence continued. Leo had come over to his father and placed his hand on his shoulder in some sort of comfort. Even Mikey had lost his personality for a while.

"That's exactly above up. They already know where we are" Leo finally answered.

"It's only a matter of time before they start going underground" Donnie put in.

"But what's that trail? Where does that lead to?" Elodie pointed to a small red trail. "We've never traveled there"

"The entire stroller walks. They must've known she was moving" April put together.

Raph looked up to the screen, "Why didn't they attack then? Not that I would want a surprise attack while I'm sleeping"

"I don't know" Donnie turned to the human couple. "What's above us?"

"A college campus" April spoke up first. "And a local apartment complex"

"Have there been any fatalities?" Leo turned to Casey and April.

"Not that we know of. That place is filled with partiers" Casey replied. "It would take at least a month before they would figure out that someone is missing"

"It's only been two weeks since the attack" Donnie noted.

"That's not enough time. They probably already planned on looking underground" Master Splinter spoke up.

Elodie turned and walked away from the group, no one told her to stop. She ran up the stairs and went straight into Donnie's room, the one that she has called home. Elodie walked right up to the crib and noticed her baby sister sleeping peacefully on her back. What would happen if the Bounty Hunters took her sister and some day in the future she would have to fight her?

"They will never take you from me"

Elodie rocked her sister later that night as she whispered it into her ear. Rain, however, was still howling like a wolf from all of the failed attempts to get her to sleep.

"Do you want me to help?"

"No!"

"It's okay if you can't put her to sleep. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know" Donnie stepped into the room.

"She's my sister, Don" Elodie said over the crying.

"I understand that. I'm just trying to help" Donnie shrugged. "Is there something that your mother would do for you? Something that would calm you down?"

"A song" Elodie said in a low voice that she didn't even think that Donnie had heard her in the first place.

"Maybe it will calm her down" Donnie nodded over to Rain.

Elodie cleared her voice, closed her eyes and pretended that she was just in her room as she began the song: 'I hear the voice of my destiny call

And I know I must go find my way

The hardest part will be leaving you all

And I'll miss you much more

Than words can say

"Keep going" Donnie urged. "She's calming down"

I'll be only a memory away

If you need me

You can call me any time of day

And I'll be there, it's OK

Only a memory away

"She's falling asleep" Donnie took a step closer to Elodie. "You're bonding with her. Don't worry"

My intuition says something is wrong

My friends said they'd come and say good-bye

I can't go until I know what's going on

I fear there is danger somewhere nearby

"Start easing her over to the crib" Donnie whispered. "She's pretty wiped out"

I'll be only a memory away

If you need me

You can call me any time of day

And I'll be there, it's OK

Only a memory away

"That's it" Donnie rubbed Elodie's back. "Elodie. Keep on singing"

We've been together through good times and bad

You've always been there for me

I'll always treasure the best friends I have

Eternally

"I know it's hard" Donnie whispered to her. "This is also healing you too. Finish the song"

I'll be only a memory away

If you need me

You can call me any time of day

And I'll be there, it's OK

Only a memory away

"You did it, Elodie" Donnie encouraged as she just realized that she was crying the whole time. "I know that was very difficult for you"

"She always used to sing that song before she went on a business trip" Elodie confessed.

"It's a beautiful song" Donnie nodded.

"Now I feel like she sang it for a completely different purpose" Elodie sobbed as she hugged Donnie.

"She couldn't have known" Donnie whispered as he pet Elodie's head. "Your mother wouldn't have wanted you or Rain to witness that"

"Why did they have to kill them?" Elodie broke down.

"I don't know" Donnie answered truthfully.
