Heya people!

Well it's Christmas time once again! And I'm really sorry I left this fic on a year long cliffhanger, but it is difficult to write a Christmas Fic any other time of the year, but I finally got around to it! Yay!

The Last few chapters, we saw Mona after being attacked by thugs then weakened and hiding in a nook in snowy Chicago being shown her wonderful life as a human then again as a mutant by no other than her guardian angel who turned out to be her grandmother!

But of course her mate, family and friends are looking for her, will they find her before she freezes in the dark alleys of Chicago? Well read below to find out!

Chapter Twelve

Lost then Found

Earlier that evening...

Tyroth flew above the city keeping above the buildings so as not to be seen by the public below.

After they left the sanctuary Leonardo divided everyone into groups to search the city for Mona.

Sephie went with Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo paired up and Leonardo went off on his own.

All the Mutants with the exception of Tyroth were wearing thick coats, trousers and shoes to protect them from the cold, though Tyroth had his own heating system which didn't require clothes.

"Have you got anything?" Tyroth asked from the sky talking into his earpiece.

"Apart from the fact it's freezing cold, not yet!" said Sephie "But Mona's signals still going...though it seems to have stopped!"

"Stopped?" asked Tyroth "What do you mean?"

"I mean she's stationary!" said Sephie.

Raphael as he ran beside Sephie, he looked at his shell cell and saw Mona's signal wasn't moving.

"Shit!" he said "That either means she's resting...or...or..." he couldn't get out the last part.

"Don't panic Raph!" Leonardo's voice was heard over the ear pieces, "Let's just get there fast!"

"We're closer!" Donatello said over the earpiece "About three streets away!"

"Good work Donny!" Tyroth said "I'll head there now!"

"So will we!" said Sephie "Hang in there guys!"

"Man I hope she's alright!" whimpered Michelangelo as he ran alongside Donatello yet trying not to slip on the icy ground.

As Donatello confirmed, he and Michelangelo were running to where Mona's signal was.

"Brrr!" Michelangelo complained as he tightened his orange scarf "It sure does suck when you're cold blooded! Even with clothes on!"

"Tell me about it!" Donatello said stamping his frozen feet, he looked down at his phone again and saw the signal, but it was starting to fade a little.

"Oh shell!" he said "The battery on Mona's Shell-cell is starting to run out! Quick!" he began to pick up the pace and run faster, which wasn't easy due to how slippery the ground was.

Michelangelo ran behind his brother and they soon came to the alleyway where Mona fought the thugs not long ago.

"The signals coming from here!" said Donatello "Yet...no sign of our sister!"

"Mona!?" Michelangelo shouted "Mona?! Are you here?" he looked around and soon he stepped on something soft hidden in the undisturbed snow.

"Hey I found something!" he said.

Donatello ran over and looked as Michelangelo lifted up a long black leather coat.

"It's Mona's coat!" the purple masked turtle cried "Oh god, she must be frozen solid without it!"

Michelangelo felt the pockets and he soon found Mona's shell-cell.

Both younger turtles looked at each other and went pale but before one or the other could say anything, Tyroth flew down from the sky almost startling them.

"Don!?" he asked "Mikey?!"

Donatello looked at Tyroth and held up Mona's shell-cell whilst an almost tearful Michelangelo held Mona's coat close.

Tyroth didn't need any explanation as he saw the evidence before him and his knees buckled.

"Oh Gods..." he stuttered "No...and at Christmas! What are we going to tell the others?"

"She can't have been!" Michelangelo wept "She can't have been captured!" he began to look around further into the alleyway.

Donatello and Tyroth followed him as he walked.

"Mona!?" he shouted "Mona!? Big sis!?"

Donatello took out a torch from his coat and turned it on and Tyroth's body glowed as he activated his mana to create a little light as well as keep warm, as he did, some of the snow around him began to melt.

"If Mona was captured, she'll be putting up a good fight!" said Donatello "I know her!"

"And we'll get her back!" snarled Tyroth "Even if we have to search every nest in the snowy city!"

"Guys!" they soon heard Michelangelo call out.

"Mikey?" they said together.

"Guys! Over here!" Michelangelo called again "I found her!"

Donatello shone his torch over and saw Michelangelo kneeling at a shadowy nook where there were dustbins, he pointed the torch and he soon saw Mona sitting there curled up and Michelangelo desperately trying to wake her.

"MONA!" Donatello cried in shock before running over "Mona!" he dropped to his knees and slid in the snow to get over to his adopted sister.

"Mona!" he shone his torch on Mona's face and saw how pale and cold she was, her eyes were closed and he could see bits of frost on her eyelashes.

Removing a mitten, Donatello touched her face and his eyes widened.

"Oh my god, she's as cold as ice!"

"Is she dead!?" Michelangelo cried "Oh please don't let her be dead!"

Donatello looked again and saw some mist coming out of Mona's slit nostrils "She's still breathing! But she could be suffering hypothermia!"

"Here!" Tyroth said kneeling down to Mona and reaching over to her "I'll take her!" he gently pulled Mona towards him.

"Big T, what are you doing?" asked Michelangelo worried.

"I'll try and warm her and bring up her temperature!" said Tyroth, he sat down in the snow cross legged, his mana glowing brightly and he cradled Mona against his chest, one hand supporting her and the other holding her head close.

"It's okay Mona..." he said "I got you...I promise, you'll be nice and warm soon!"

Donatello and Michelangelo watched and hoped Mona would wake up.

"Guys!" they soon jumped when they heard Leonardo's voice behind them.

"Shit..." Donatello cursed.

"Did you find her?" Sephie asked as she ran over "Where was she?!" she ran over and she soon saw Mona in Tyroth's arms.

"Oh my God!" Sephie cried "Mona!"

"Mona?!" Leonardo and Raphael cried together as they looked at Mona in Tyroth's arms.

"Oh shit! Mona!" Raphael cried in fear barging past Sephie and Michelangelo to get over to his mate.

"Mona! Mona! Baby!?" he touched Mona's cheek trying to feel for life.

Donatello and Leonardo quickly pulled Raphael back so Tyroth could continue trying to warm Mona yet Raphael kept trying to break from their grip.

Tyroth meanwhile kept Mona close to his chest, and he kept calling to her.

"Mona?" he called "Mona? Can you hear me? Wake up!"

His heart beat so hard in his chest it hurt, he was scared for Mona when she almost drowned in Skyrim when they were trapped in the caves but Donatello managed to revive her, now he hoped he would do the same.

After what seemed like forever, he saw Mona's eyes flicker and her mouth move.

"Mona?!" he asked hoping what he saw wasn't just an illusion. He then felt Mona shift a little in his arms.

"She's moving!" Tyroth cried, the others looked hopeful and Raphael still tried to break free from Leonardo and Donatello.

"We got to get back to Mutopia!" Sephie said "Mona needs treatment from James!"

"I'll fly on ahead and continue to keep her warm!" said Tyroth "I'll meet you guys in the hospital wing and I'll inform Splinter as well!"

"Please help her pull though Big T!" Michelangelo wept "Please!"

"Will do!" said Tyroth as he opened his wings and flew into the air "Hang in there Mona!" he whispered to the shivering Lizard Lady in his arms "Hold on there, I'm taking you home!"

"We'll see you back there Tyroth!" Leonardo shouted.

"MONA!" Raphael cried in fear.

"Calm down Raph!" said Donatello "Mona will be okay! Tyroth's got her! Come on! We gotta get back!"

"And quickly before we all freeze or someone see's us!" said Sephie as she ran out the alleyway "Follow me!"

At once Raphael ran ahead of the others, "Please be alright Mona!" he pleaded "I can't loose you! Not now! Not at Christmas!"

So the turtles, Sephie and Tyroth found Mona! And Tyroth used his mana and heat to warm her! But will it be enough?

Stay tuned into the next chapter to find out! And once again, I'm sorry for the year long delay!
