I swam in darkness, horrible dread coated me and I awoke with a start. My vision was blurry with tears and out of the corner of my eye , I saw that turtle-thing watching me. Whats weird yet sweet was that thing's expression, it was surprisingly tender and my heart swelled. Tears ran tracks when he appeared right in front of me. I stared at him and tried not to move. I didn't want to hurt his feelings by trying to get away. Then he did the weirdest thing... he forced his hands under my arms and picked me up like a child . To add to the weirdness factor he put me on his lap, his arms making sure that I didn't fall. His rough skin brushed against me, causing shivers. I felt him attempt to calm me, stealing glances at my face but his body heat and the events of today combined. Without my bidding, I began to sob uncontrollably. He pressed my cold and sobbing body against his chest and murmured in a very gentle tone," hey its alright. No one is going to hurt you. " I felt his heart beat heavily, indicating nervousness. He tighten his grip on my midsection and then draped a worn blanket around me . He hugged me close as I cried myself out silently .
When I partially composed myself, I stared up into his bespectacled face for the first time noticing his eyes peering out from behind his tortoiseshell glasses. They were a strange mixture of jade green and polished gold. He stared back and we held the locked gaze for a few seconds until I dropped my eyes, more tears threatened to spill over. I heard him clear his throat, his chest magnifying the sound and I shied away onto the cold floor. My already raw nerves couldn't take much more of this. He looked apologetic and said with more gentle tone" 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-" he was interrupted by a loud knock and a really deep voice told him to open up. The voice called this tender creature "Donnie". I can't explain why the deep voice startled me but I hid and tried( unsuccessfully) to remain still. I heard him argue with whoever was at the door , calling them raph. I heard something being pushed and the door slamming shut. I peeked out to see if I was still 'safe'. My eyes flickered to the door and to him and back again. This time he spoke in a concerned tone" About how much does it hurt? Your wounds I mean..." I mumbled an answer, not looking at him because my face flamed " a 8 at least."
Donatello:
I feel sympathy when she said her pain was at least a 8. I knew that I needed to get a closer look to aid her mending. " um... I need to see underneath your bandages t-to better diagnose your condition..." I started to undo the bandages and hear her wince and whine in pain. I try to soothe her while I pull my goggles down and began to assess the deep muscle bruising and shallow cuts. She tries to look at her wounds but I gently force her head up. She doesn't need to see them yet. She keeps trying to look until i give her a shake of my head .I cleaned and rebandaged them for the third time. I pulled the blanket back around her shoulders, hoping she doesn't catch the flu. " I'm really sorry about your clothes... they had so much blood on them... and I thought it was rude to leave you in them..and...and..." I continued to stutter. She blushed and gave a light laugh. A low growl came from her stomach and was answered by my own. I guess we were both hungry but she had no clothes and I don't think that it would be a good idea to bring her out there... not yet at least. I watched as she got up and put on her bloody clothing and reached for the door. I grabbed her arm and pulled her away. "N-not yet... please. I know youre hungry but I don't think now is a good time to go out. My brothers..." I murmured. She looked at me curiously and unlocked the door and waited. She pulled free and rushed out the door , right into my sensei. She fell and scurried as quickly as possible to get away. She hid behind me and peered out from behind my arm. I felt my sensei's tail wrap around me, constricting my breath. I heard her scream.
"S-sensei... stop.. please I can explain."I stammered. The constricting feeling left and I was able to breathe again . I looked into his eyes and a glimmer of worry. He gestured for me to talk. I drew in a breath from between my teeth and lauched into what happened. " I was nominated for patrol by raph... so I left and did the route. Thats when I hear them... the ones that were hurting her... I- I saved her sensei. I couldn't just leave her. She eventually woke up and tried to leave. She wasn't ready to go. She came to the realization that I am not a danger and she hasn't tried to run since. " I held my breath, waiting for his response. He looked thoughtfully at her and then at me. She began to breathe heavily. I looked and realized that she wasn't looking at sensei. I followed her gaze and saw my brothers crowding the doorway. Their expressions varied from triumphant(raph) to utter amazement(mikey) to unreadable calm (leo). Her eyes were locked on raph. Her face paled and tried to get further behind me. I grabbed her wrist and brought her in front of sensei and I. Her eyes became wide and remained rooted to the floor, trembling hard. She looked at me, silently pleading with me for safety. My response was to hold her hand and let her try to calm herself once again. She gripped my fingers tightly and then stiffened. She dropped to a heap at my feet and became still. I sighed and looked apologetic at my sensei, who to my surprise was leaving, parting my brothers I closed and locked my door. I scooped her up into my arms and made her comfortable. Then I waited once again for the girl who I became very fond of to wake.
