Chapter 25: Never Let Go

Raph's POV

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

I rapidly look around in confusion for a brief moment.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Then I recognize the sound.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEET

We all jerk to our feet as the SOS alarm starts going off.

Leo just left with Stacy…something must've happened…

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEET EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

Don jumps up and slaps the command on his computer to turn off the alarm before frantically searching through the code sputtering on the screen.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

"What's going on?" I hear Meir ask as she follows Mike in after us.

Ellie is staring wide eyed and hugging herself in panic.

Tony has pushed his way past the others by the time Don has managed to turn off the alarm.

"Don?' he demands desperately.

"It's Leo's shell-cell for sure," Don notes then after spotting the address he jumps to his feet and grabs his Bo.

My Sai are already in their holsters as are Mike's nunchaku in his and we are moving quickly ready to find anything.

"Raph!" Tony orders and I freeze, jerking around to look at him, "bring him back…"

"Of course," I state before disappearing out the door behind Mike and Don's retreating forms.

I hope Stay's ok….who am I kidding Leo will make sure she's ok.

When we reach the alley where the signal leads us to I freeze before scrambling forward.

"RAPH!" Mike warns.

I don't care if it's a trap…she's bleeding!

"STACY!" I gasp as my knees crack against the concrete and I lift her into my arms.

She chokes weakly, eyes fluttering open a mere moment, her gaze meeting mine.

"I…" she starts.

"Shush," I comfort, as I press a hand frantically against her side, "It'll be ok."

"-ry….I….I'm sorry…" she manages, "….tried to…sto-"

Her eyes flutter closed and she gives s shutter.

"Stacy!" I order, "Stay with me! Please!"

"…love you," she murmurs before growing horribly still.

"STACY!" I scream, every inch of me shaking.

I clutch her to me and frantically try to stop the bleeding, my free hand pressing frantically against her stomach as my other grips her to me.

I'm dimly aware of Don saying my name and of Mike trying to get me to let them see her.

Don is suddenly next to me trying to examine her wound and Mike makes me let go as Don inspects Stacy's limp frame.

"NO!" I hear myself screaming, "NO! STACY!"

Mike has a hold of my arms and he's trying to hold me back, I think I kick him, maybe even punch him in my desperation.

Don stops suddenly and his shoulders drop, then he gently closes her eyes.

"NO!" I bellow, "STACY NO!"

"Raph…I'm sorry…she's gone," Don whispers, his brown eyes meeting my amber.

I scream, I don't even realize it at first, my heart feels like it's been ripped from my chest, but I can't stop screaming.

Mike releases me and I drop to my knees, hands flat on the cement.

"NO!"

A/N: Oh Raph…I'm sooo sorry. Reviews please?
