AN: This is the first time I've ever attempted this style of writing. I hope you like it and have fun. Please let me know what you think of this chapter.
PS. I have included a cipher below for anyone who wants to decode what the notes say for yourselves. Otherwise, if you don't have the time/or just don't want to do it, feel free to skip to the bottom for the translation. (It got longer than I planned so I completely understand if you don't want to translate it all, lol. Also, it took forever so I hope it translates right if you do.)

The Shredder is planning something. I don't know what it is just yet but I'm keeping an eye on it. I'll do my best to figure out what's going on and let you know. I hope you're doing well, my friend.
-Dawn
Everything's going fine. I got in trouble for not coming straight home on the night we met but that's pretty normal for me. It seems like I'm always in trouble for one reason or another. Please be careful. I don't want to lose you because you're taking risks that could have been avoided.
-Dusk
I always am. Nothing new to report here. How bout you?
-Dawn
Just normal stuff. Haven't seen anything different on patrol.
-Dusk
Be wary. The Foot are on the move. Still don't know what they're planning.
-Dawn
Haven't heard from you yet. Gonna be on a mission for the next few nights. When I get back I'm expecting a note. Please be okay, kid...
-Dawn
Sorry, couldn't get away. My bros don't want me going topside so much. I'll have to be more careful when I sneak out. Hope everything goes okay. Be safe, sis.
-Dusk
Thank goodness, you had me worried there. Mission went as well as can be expected. I was able to avoid any unnecessary casualties.
-Dawn
Hurray! Great job! I got lectured again today. Apparently I'm not taking my ninjutsu lessons seriously. It's not like I'm trying to mess up. I just keep getting distracted. Sometimes I wish I were more like the others.
-Dusk
Never say that. You're perfect how you are and if they can't see that then it's their loss. Dusk, you are the kindest person I've ever met and if it weren't for you, I'd probably still be Shredder's puppet. I can never thank you enough for what you're doing to help me.
-Dawn
Thanks Dawn. It really means a lot to me for you to say that :) We got in a fight with the Foot Clan tonight. No major injuries on our side but they seemed to be looking for something. Any ideas?
-Dusk
He's still not letting me in on any of his plans. I don't like doing this but I'll try acting like a good, little pawn so maybe he'll start confiding in me. Wish me luck.
-Dawn
Good luck and take care. I won't be able to write for a while, we're going on a training trip and I'm not sure when I'll be back. Don't do anything rash while I'm away.
-Dusk
Hey, I'm back. I was surprised that there wasn't a reply waiting. You're okay, right? I mean, of course you are... it's you... but, please get back to me soon.
-Dusk
Dawn, you're really scaring me... where are you? It's been almost three weeks since I last heard from you. Did something happen? I don't know what to do. I... I don't want you to die...
-Dusk
I'm so sorry I worried you, Dusk. It's okay, I'm fine. God, I can see the tear stains on your last note. I feel terrible for leaving you hanging like that. Some idiot stole something from Shredder's private chambers so he locked down the whole compound. I've had to be super careful these last couple weeks to let things blow over. I couldn't risk coming here when he was so vigilant. I'm sorry, kid.
-Dawn
Dawn, you're safe! I thought I'd lost you. I can't stand the thought of you being in trouble when I can't do anything to help. I'm going to save you... no matter what. Maybe you should just run away and come live with me. I really don't like leaving you there. What if he finds out about us?
-Dusk
If can't be helped. It's too big a risk for us all. He'd search for me and I couldn't bear it if you got captured or hurt because of me. We'll find a way. I know we'll find a way... heh, I don't know if I'm saying that for your sake or for my own. Either way, if he finds out it's best if I'm the only one to get hurt.
-Dawn
Don't say things like that! I don't want you to get hurt either. But you're right, we can't chance it. We just have to keep working on it. In the meantime, I'll try to be more positive. Maybe it'll make you feel better.
-Dusk
Thanks kid, I don't know how I managed without you. You're like a little ray of sunshine ;P
-Dawn
Lol, I am pretty bright XD Nothing happening on my side.
-Dusk
Nothing new to report here either.
-Dawn
The others got mad at me again. I was just trying to make them laugh cause they seem so serious all the time. Am I doing the right thing? Maybe I should just leave them alone.
-Dusk
Keep doing what you're doing. They don't realize t yet but eventually they'll see how much better you make their lives. Trust me, kid. You're doing fine.
-Dawn
Thanks, sis. I can't wait for them to meet you :)
-Dusk
I'm not sure they'll like me. Shredder is sending the Foot out to a warehouse near the pier in two days time. Don't know what he's after but it could be worth investigating.
-Dawn
Got it. I'll figure out a way to get us over there and let you know what we find.
-Dusk
Be careful. We don't know what he's planning.
-Dawn
It was an ambush! We barely made it with our shells. I'm still sore from the hit I took to my leg... doesn't look I'll be sewerboarding for a little while.
-Dusk
Seriously? Is everyone alright? Dusk, I swear I didn't know... I'd have never sent you there if I thought you'd get hurt.
-Dawn
I know... and yea, everyone's fine. The worst we got were some bruises and sprains. Maybe a cut or two but it's no big deal.
-Dusk
I still feel like it's my fault. I shouldn't have told you about the warehouse.
-Dawn
Of course you should have, silly! What if it was something important. You couldn't have known what that helmet-head was planning so stop beating yourself up over it, Dawn.
-Dusk
What's happening, did you get locked in again? Is that why you haven't answered?
-Dusk
That's it, I'm done! I refuse to let that man dictate my life any longer! I've been doing what I can to thwart him without raising suspicions but it's not enough... I want out... I want to be free.
-Dawn
Whoa, is everything okay? You haven't replied in over a week and now this? What's going on over there?
-Dusk
I'm just so sick of living my life like this, if you can even call it living. Dusk, he was testing me... I had to kill someone again. If I didn't, he'd have known that I'm not really loyal to him. I didn't want to, I really didn't, but I had too. If I didn't, he made it clear that I'd be punished. I was so scared... I'm sorry.
-Dawn
No! This is not your fault. He put you up to this. It's going to be okay, I promise. We just need to figure out a plan to get you out. Are you sure you can't just come here. I swear we'll protect you. You don't need to stay there!
-Dusk
I don't want to be here but I refuse to put you in danger. Maybe it would be better if I didn't exist at all.
-Dawn.
Don't act reckless! Please, I won't be there to help if things go wrong. I promise we'll figure something out, just don't give up! I'm gonna tell the others. I don't know what they'll say but maybe they can help.
-Dusk
I'll try to stay strong. Not for me though, I'm doing this for you. Dusk, over these last few months you've become more important to me than you could ever imagine. I don't think I could go on if anything happened to you. Take care of yourself, little brother.
-Dawn
Aw, I may have teared up a bit while reading your last note. That's the first time you've called me your little brother! Don't worry, big sis, I'll be careful and I'll let you know what the others say ;) You take care too.
-Dusk
Will do.
-Dawn
You alright? It's been a week and my reply was still under the bench.
-Dawn
Don't do this to me, kid, you better answer! Didn't I just tell you that I don't know what I'd do if I lost you?
-Dawn
I can't believe this! I told my bro's and they forbid me from talking to you! They think it's a trap or something... they haven't let me out of their sight for the whole week! Why can they never trust me!
-Dusk
You're alright! Jeez, don't worry me like that, you nearly gave me a heart attack. Don't worry about the others... you're not the one they don't trust, I am. They're worried about you, don't be angry at them for that. Just know that I would never hurt you on purpose, okay Dusk.
-Dawn
I know that, Dawn... but what are we supposed to do now? Without their help, I don't know what to do. I'm not the smart one.
-Dusk
Don't go saying negative things about yourself. I've already told you once and I'll tell you again, you're perfect just the way you are. You shouldn't worry so much, we'll think of something :) For the time being, it looks like the Foot Clan are preparing to break into a museum this Wednesday. Not sure which one, though, I only caught the very end of the conversation.
-Dawn
I'll see what I can do but you're right, that's not much to go on. There's, like, dozens of museums in the city and my bros don't really trust me all that much right now.
-Dusk
Just do what you can. I believe in you.
-Dawn
Everything was quiet last night so we must have been at the wrong place.
-Dusk
Don't worry... we'll get him next time.
-Dawn
Yea, it sucks that he got away with whatever he was after, though.
-Dusk
Got another tip for you. Looks like Shredder's planning on hitting up that old antique store that's located near the downtown mall three days from now. Be careful.
-Dawn
Always. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see if I can get us over there without raising suspicions.
-Dusk
I'll be waiting to hear from you.
-Dawn
Foot Soldiers showed up just like you said but we sent them packing. We'll keep an eye on the place for awhile to make sure they don't try again.
-Dusk
Great job, kid. I knew you could do it. I'll let you know if anything else comes up.
-Dawn
Sis, guess what. I've got a plan. If my bros won't help us out then we'll just have to run away together. I know a place we can go where we'll be safe. There's no way they'll find us, it's too hidden. Luckily I have a friend who can guide us there.
-Dusk
What's going on? Why didn't you reply? If you don't like that idea we can think of something else.
-Dusk
Are you okay? Still haven't heard back but my notes are gone so you must have been here. I'll keep waiting.
-Dusk
Are you mad at me? I don't know what I did, but, I'm sorry :( Please answer me...
-Dusk
Dawn, this isn't funny, it's already been a month! Where are you? Are you hurt?
-Dusk
Why won't you talk to me...
-Dusk
Dawn... please...
-Dusk
It's been nearly two months now... If I don't hear from you soon, I'm coming to find you!
-Dusk
Meet me tonight. We're leaving.
-Dawn
AN: Well that was an adventure. It took so long to do this chapter. Anyways, I hope you liked it and stay turned for the next part which will be back in my normal style of writing :)
