Disclaimer: I do not own the TMNT gang.

With only an hour to spare Dona walks franticly around the room thinking if should tell the truth, but should she could not think straight she needed to get out. She walked out of the room holding her head in her right hand and as she walked toward the exit she bumped into Raphael.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to… I was just going out for a walk." For some reason she was afraid of him. Raphael looked at her with confusion she looked scared just because she bumped into him.

"Look, next time look where ya goin' a 'right. Hmm, so where were ya goin'" he said calmly.

"I was just about to go out for a walk."

"By yourself? I don't think so, kid, I comin' with ya just to make sure ya don't run on us. Now lets get going before Splinter knows we're gone." He said as he waved his hand signaling her to follow him.

"Okay, I'm coming." She ran over to him as he open the door to the sewers.

As they walked the sewers Raphael was getting nervous, he didn't like the quietness that surrounds them. He had to say something or he would go crazy.

"So, what's a chick like you doin' the sewers."

"I ran away from home." She said as she looked at her gloved hands.

"Well, what's up with the gloves and hat, I mean, I bet ya have some very nice hands and hair."

"I'll tell you when I talk to everyone in the dojo." Now it was her turn to ask a few questions. "So, what's a giant turtle doin' in the sewers?" trying to impersonate Raphael. He laughed and told her the whole story about their mutation. "Wow, and I thought I was different."

"What do you mean about that! You think you're better than us!" He was angry now but calmed down when saw her eyes being filled with tears. "Look, I'm sorry I yelled at you, just don't cry. I don't want my brothers bagging on me when they see you crying in the lair. Please" he looked down on her soft brown eyes, he never saw such beautiful eyes. They stood there which seemed like an eternity.

"Well, I guess we better get back, your Sensei must be wondering where we are." She said as turned her head to the side blushing.

"Um, yeah, lets get back. I want to hear what you have to say." With this the two walked back to the lair.

Back at the lair everyone was waiting for Dona and Raphael.

"Where are those two? They been gone over two hours!" Leonardo was beginning to get nervous. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder it was Splinter's.

"Don't worry, my son, they will be here." He smiled at his son and then they heard the door open there they were.

"Well speak the devil, you guys are finally here." Donatello answered. Dona walked up to Splinter and said,

"I'm ready, Master Splinter, I'm ready to talk about my reason for running away." She sighed was she truly ready for this, well there is only one way to find out.

"Then, my child lets all go to the dojo. Everyone follow me." He ordered and as they walked to the dojo Raphael winked an eye at the girl. Dona felt butterflies in her stomach when she saw that. This is going to hard, I won't tell them the whole truth, because they don't kneed to worry about me and besides they're not that bad especially the one in the red bandana. Well, here I go. She thought to herself as she entered the dojo. Now that everyone was seated Splinter asked her tell her story. She nodded her head and walked to the center of the room and began her story.

"Well, for those who don't know my name, I'm Dona. My life used to be perfect, my parents where great and I had a lot of friends, and before I continue I want to say sorry to you Splinter, I lied. I this isn't the first time I ran away from home, in fact this is my third time away from home, and I don't have a baby brother, I'm sorry, Splinter." She began to cry lightly then Splinter walked over to her it is all right, Dona, you had your reasons. Now please continue."

"Thank you, anyway, a few years ago my parents died in a plane crash and I was an only child, so I was sent to an orphanage. I lived in that orphanage until I was fourteen."

"So how old are you now, Dona?" Donatello asked.

"I'm fifteen, now but in a couple months I'll be sixteen. Anyway, when I was adopted buy a very nice family and they took great care of me and I love them as if they were my original parents. Then one dreadful night I was walking out of Central Park and was walking down the sidewalk when I heard the skidding of wheels and I was hit and sent to the emergency after that I don't remember much. When I woke up I found myself in a hospital bed and I saw 'parents' that my parents where there. And they told me that I almost died." She paused.

"Then how come you're still here?" Michelangelo asked with total confusion.

"This is how I survived." And with that she pulled off her gloves and showed them her fist. "You see these three scars I have in between my knuckles?" she asked as everyone nodded their heads. "Watch." She closed her eyes and tightened her fist and then they saw her the skin between her knuckles spread apart and watched three long, sharp "claws" come out of her hands.

"Whoa!!!!!" was the only word that came to their minds as they saw her long claws protrude from her fist.

"That's how I survived the hit. A group of scientists took me to their lab and injected some cat DNA into me and know I have the claws of a cat and…" then she took the floppy hat from her head "the ears of a cat." She said as her cat hears stuck out her long, silky brown hair.

Boy, she wasn't kidding when she said that she was different. Man, I'm such a spaz for doing that to her earlier. There has to be something I can do to make it up to her. Raphael started to feel bad for thinking those thoughts earlier.

"Anyway, when I went to school I was laughed at and I teased and bullied for the way I look and that was the first time I ran away. Then the day before I went home and found out that my foster parents crying and they told me that I was being taken away to some science lab to studied on, I didn't believe them and ran to my room pulled out my backpack and stuffed it with all my things including my diary just incase I ever wanted to look back on all the good things that had happened, then I left home but I was captured and returned was forced to return home. Then I tried again but this time I just took my diary with me and ran away again but this time I decided to go to the sewers I knew no one would look for me there and that's when I found you guys." She finished her story and noticed that the room was quiet, so quiet that you can hear a pin drop. Then Splinter got up and said,

"Thank you for your story and I hope that one day you will find a home where you won't have to run away from any more, but now let us eat, Michelangelo, please order the pizza and the sushi for our dinner." He ordered

"Yes, sir!" Mikey said with excitement. Dona stood in the dojo as they left, except Raphael.

"Hey, kid, sorry I yelled at ya earlier I didn't know what you went through, well again I'm sorry." And before he left he saw Dona throw herself at him with her arms around him sobbing harshly. He was surprised, at first he didn't like but now maybe he was starting to like and so he did his best to comfort her. "Shh, shh. It's all right, kid, its all right." He said with his arms around her and softly rubbing her back. This was the first time really felt at home and now did she even think that maybe she was being to close to one of the turtles she didn't want to leave but she knew that she would have to leave one day but when was on her mind, but for now she'll put it in the back of her mind.

Well that's chapter three tell me how was it, and tell me if you enjoyed it. So do you think that she'll stay with them or do you think that she'll run on them to? Well find out on chapters to come.
