'The Girl', as they referred to her remained asleep for the rest of the day, not waking up till much later that night. That waking up was then filled with pain and blindly begging to return to sleep, and so she did for the rest of the night and until the next afternoon. Fully stable and now conscience on the right amount of pain killers, she became aware of her surroundings. Not wanting to scream, though she woke up in an unfamiliar bed not being able to move, as that would be rude, she sat, head spinning with questions and thoughts, waiting for someone to enter through the doorway. Eventually someone did, now this person, well turtle, expected her to scream, instead she just sat there in what looked like terror and helplessness. Donnie, moved over to her slowly, hands raised and repeating that he wasn't going to hurt her. By the time he reached her bedside she seemed more curious than afraid.
With care in his voice he recited what Raph had told them about that night, and what had happened in regards to her surgery since. Although a bit anxious and bewildered, she did not seem as terrified as he thought she'd be, so he continued. He told her briefly about his brothers and Sensei, what happened to them for them to be the way they are, and to reinforce the idea that all they want to do is help.
She eventually nodded her head and so Donnie asked if it would be alright to bring in his Sensei to talk to her. With her replying yes, he left to fetch him. She looked slowly around the room, fully remembering what had happened in the park, however not sure whether she should be happy or not for having been saved.
This sense of turmoil was sensed by Master Splinter from the moment he entered the room. After excusing out Donatello and filling the seat next to her bedside, he began to speak.
"I trust Donatello has filled you in on my family's secret, I hope that from the kindness of your heart that I can trust you to continue it being a secret."
A quick nod let him know he could continue.
"As we have shared our secrets with you, I ask that you share your secrets with us. I wish to ask for your name as well as what you were doing out so late in the park alone."
Her voice at first was weak and scratchy, causing her to speak slowly, but soon it built in strength and returned to normal.
"I'd like to lie to you about why I was in the park, but after everything your family has done for me I'd feel that would be too wrong. I was simply there to get out of the apartment I share with my mum. She can get a bit… violent, and we just really don't get along. I simply wanted some air and a place to breathe freely I guess."
Though she spoke the truth her eyes never met Splinters. Instead resting on her hands as she fiddled with her fingers and nails. It was clearly a sensitive topic, and Splinter could tell there was definitely more to the story. He decided to let her be though, she had told the truth, the only thing she left out was her name. So he asked again.
"It's Sarah"
And with that Splinter urged her to get more rest and that the boys would wake her at dinnertime if she'd like to join them. Exiting the room he closed the door softly behind him and entered the living room to see his sons splayed around, each busy with their own activities of choice. He simply said aloud that the girls name was 'Sarah', and left to return to his room. He could tell this girl was going to be a blessing, but he couldn't help the feelings of unease in his stomach.
