Chapter 23
"Hang in there, Lin
Leo awoke in a cold sweat. He had dreamed that Lin was dying. He laid on his back. Leo, it was only a nightmare, he assured himself, but it wouldn't hurt to check. He got out of bed and walked towards the girl's room. He opened the door slowly, praying that the girls were decent. He had felt guilty for lecturing her when she clearly seemed upset by something.
He walked into the room and crept towards Linnea's bed. He saw something there. He assumed that it was her. He tried to shake her awake but it was no use.
"Lin? Linnea? I need to talk to you," he said.
He received no response. Suddenly realized what he was shaking was too soft to be human or turtle. He turned on the light and found Linnea gone and in her place was a few pillows and a note. Leonardo started to read the note.
"Hey? What the?" said Nicole.
"Lin, turn off the light," said May.
"Linnea's not here," Leo cried.
"What?" yelled the three girls.
"Where is she?" asked May.
"Oh my god! Lin!" screamed Leo as he threw down the note.
"What happened?" asked a groggy Raph.
"Linnea's gone," said Lacy.
"She'll be back," said Raph.
"Oh no! No she won't if we don't find her now! Her dagger's gone!" cried Nicole.
"So, what does that mean?" asked a groggy Mikey.
"Oh god! She's trying again. Mikey, wake up Don and Master Splinter! We're going to need to give her medical attention if and when we find her!" screamed May as she started to run out of the room.
Nicole followed May out of the layer and started to try and catch up to Leo. They just hoped that they weren't too late.
Meanwhile, Leo was on the trail of Linnea's path. He ran as fast as he could until he got to Linnea's limp, lifeless body. She looks gone, thought Leo. He reached down for a pulse. He was relieved when he found a weak one. He quickly removed his eye mask and made a tunicate for one arm and then he took her eye mask and used it as a tunicate also. She picked her up and held her for a second.
"Come on, Lin, hang in there! You can't die," yelled Leo.
There was no response. He took off with her in his arms. He ran past Nicole and May and got to the layer in record time.
"Don, Mike, Master Splinter, help," yelled Leo.
"In the lab, Leo," yelled Don.
Leo ran with Linnea in his arms into the lab. She was pale. Don quickly began the process of sewing her back up then taking off the tunicates. May and Nicole ran in and saw just how bad Linnea looked. May started to cry.
"Well, this could be the end of her. Without a blood transfusion, she'll die," said Donatello.
"What's her blood type?" asked Nicole.
"O negative," stated Lacy.
"Are any of you O negative?" asked Don.
All Don thought he heard was no's. He sighed and backed away. He started to cover her with a white sheet.
"Don, wait! I said I was O negative," yelled Nicole.
"Then we may be able to help her," said Don
Donatello set up for Nicole to donate blood. She held out her left arm and watched as Don stuck her with the needle. When the bag was full, he changed the needle and started to transfer it to Linnea in hopes that it would save her. Nicole was given some juice and cookies to regain blood sugar.
"Now what?" asked Nicole.
"We wait. There's nothing more we can do. All we can do is hope," said Master Splinter.
