I shook my head to and fro trying to dislodge the human, but he had a tough grip. I ran forward and head-butted the wall. The human stayed on. I felt angrier. I then felt a cold sliver on my neck, but I couldn't do anything about.
Then things happened quickly. The anger left my body just as the blood did. I felt like I was bleeding my whole existence out in my blood. My eyes quivered as I saw the world get larger around me. I remember being dropped to the ground, the bloodied sword leaving, settling me in a pool of my own blood. I remember feeling that I was coughing my lungs out trying to get air in to them. I remember voices calling my name. I remember hearing a laugh echoing down the hall into the room. Not Chi's, but a hard metallic laugh. It had to be the Shredder. That woke me up enough.
I try stagger to me feet as Don and Leatherhead come to help me up to me knees. Leo, Raph, Mikey and Splinter run around me to face the door when Chi had apparently ran off. I remember seeing how bad Leatherhead looked.
"We have to leave," Don said while he ripped off a piece of my shirt, managing to wrap it around my throat. "I will have to sew you up as soon as we get back."
I fall the rest of the way to the ground with a released breathe. I was exhausted. I was then picked up, bridal style, by Leatherhead. Leatherhead grunted with the effort, so with what I could I looked up into his eyes, "Put me down. I can walk. You are hurt." Then I thought, 'I don't want you to hurt yourself more.'
"I got you. You are safe now." Leatherhead said shaking his head, "And I am fine."
I managed to put a hand up to his chest, "I know you are not." My hand slide back down as I fell into unconscious as I feel the makeshift bandage on my neck leak from the amount of blood. The last thing I remember is feeling the blood go down my front and Leatherhead keeping his temper.
I was out for a while. I know because I woke up from the smell.
"Eewww, where am I?" I said straining to open my eyes. I was lying down on the couch in the turtle's lair. I slowly sat up and felt my neck. It was wrapped up. 'I guess Donny saved my skin…' I reached for a glass of water that was left on the table next to the couch.
As I reach for the glass, I notice that there was a mass on the other side. I sort of clamber out of the couch, over the table, and out next to the mass. The mass was Leatherhead. He was wrapped in a thermal blanket and was hooked up to a heart monitor. 'Where did Donnie get that?' It didn't matter too much, Leatherhead looked awful. "Why," I said quietly, "Why did you come for me, Leatherhead."
I heard footsteps, so I tried to get back to the couch. I climbed over the table, and was half way on the couch when Raph appeared. I innocently grinned up at him. He walked around the couch and helped me the rest of the way. Then he sat next to me while he handed me the glass of water. "How are yah felin'?"
"I feel…okay." I drink the whole glass and turn back towards Leatherhead. Raph turned his head to follow my gaze. "What happened to him?"
Raph rubbed the back of his neck, "Yah lost a ton of blood from that…scratch. We were not all surprised that yah passed out in LH's arms. But it was enough for em. We managed to run out of the building. Masta Splinta with Leo, Mikey, Don, and I fought ourselves out. LH held back, holding onto yah. He was really worried bout cha."
Don came out of nowhere and joined in. "As soon as we got here, LH and I got to work stitching you up." He shook his head, "I tried to tell him that he was more exhausted and worn out than the rest of us. I told him to let me work, but he insisted on helping. Once we were done, LH brought you here and, well…passed out." Don let a small smile come, "None of us can really move him, so here he is." I let go of a breath I didn't realize I was holding.
"So, he is going to be okay." I look at the two turtles. They looked downcast. "Right? He will be all right. He has to be," I plead.
"I wish I could tell you a hundred percent that I knew he would be," Don said, "he seems to be far away…you know, like what happens in those movies. The hero has to go inside the person mind to save them."
"That sounded like Mikey," I giggle a bit before starting to cough. Raph starts rubbing my back to help me calm down. "I guess I won't be myself the next few days…"
"Here," Raph says as he helps me lay down so that me head was resting on his plastron, "Take another nap then. No prop with that, eh Donnie?" He looked at Don expectably.
"Well, yeah," Don said rubbing his chin, "since you woke up by your own, I see no problem with a nap." I closed my eyes.
I woke up later when Raph started to yell for Don. "Yo, Don! Git over here!" I tried to sit upright, but Raph had a hold on my body, not letting me move. I hear footsteps and wild beeping.
"Raph!" I call up to him as I try to get out of his hold, "What is happening?"
"Raph, get the others! Now!" Don said, a little scarily, "Kameko may be able to help me!" I felt Raph help me sit up, and then he took off running.
I turn my gaze back towards Don. He was kneeling next to Leatherheads heart monitor. 'That was the beeping. Is he waking up?' I trot over next to Don. "What can I do? What is going on?"
Don was getting frantic, which started to scare me, "So, this is bad…" I lean over and grasp Leatherheads hand out of the blanket and grip it tightly in both of mine. "Come on Leatherhead, wake up. Just wake up." I start to cry, Don didn't tell me what was happening or what to do. The only I thought was bad news. 'Don't die. Please don't.'
