Donatello
Its 9:39 am. Exactly two hours since she lost consciousness . I pulled my goggles down to check her vital signs for the fifteenth time in the last twenty minutes. No recent changes from a few minutes ago. I sighed, putting them back into position on my forehead. What am I going to tell sensei when he sees her? I stood up and surveyed the mess my room had become. It wasn't a pretty sight. Suddenly I had the unbearable urge to clean up. Slowly I started to clean and just as slowly my room become habital. I stood back, pleased with my work. I heard a quiet moan coming from my left. I turned and much to my surprise, the girl twisted around eyes still closed. I sat down and gently took her pulse. It was quick and her neck muscles were taut beneath my fingers. I watched as tears fell . She opened her eyes and bolted up. She began to sway dizzily. She sat down again and let the tears continue to make glistening tracks. She was oblivious to me. I leaned into her line of vision and She stiffen when she saw me. Without thinking, I gently slid hands under her arms and picked her up like a child. I placed her on my lap and Slowly I rubbed my hand down her back, trying to calm her down. Soon I rhymically (gently) patted her back and rocked slightly back and forth. I felt her sobs building. I squeezed her to my plastron, my heart hammering."hey it's alright. No one is going to hurt you." I gripped her tighter with one arm and grabbed the fallen blanket.
Much to my surprise, she didn't fight my hold. I had honestly thought that she would fight and maybe scream but here she is, pressed against my plastron and slowly calming down. I let my grip loosen and waited for her response. She looked up at me and just stared. I forced myself to look back at her. Our eyes held for a handful of seconds until she dropped her eyes. I cleared my throat to grab her attention but only succeeding in startling her onto the floor. "I'm very sorry, i didn't mean to scare you. I...um...wanted to ask you how you were feeling. They really did hurt you but I prom-" I said very gently. There was a thunder like knock that interrupted me. She paled and tried to hide under the blanket. Raph's deep voice came from the other side.
R: "open up, Donnie, I know your up to something. "
He knocks again, this time much harder. I heard her whine in fear. I went and unlocked the door. " what raph?," I said, trying for a irritated tone.
R: "whats going on? Your door was locked and you're acting very different..."
" nothing, you're just being paranoid ." I said in a casual tone. I started to close my door when raph shoved past me and forced himself into my sanctuary. He looked around when his eyes settled on the trembling plaid blanket. To my dismay, he reached out to grab the blanket. I shoved him away, " leave it alone"
R:" I thought it was nothing. " with a smirk
"And I'm not ready to show everyone. Plus you're scaring it. Just go raph.," I said harshly, steering and shoving him away. I slammed the door in his face and turned back to see her peeking out from hiding. She shivered, her eyes flickering from me to the door and back again. " about how much does it hurt? Your wounds I mean..." I asked. She mumbled an answer" a 8 at least."
