Night was settling on the city as the second day slowly passed. Donatello looked over their blood samples again and again coming up with the same conclusions Lexine had told him nights ago. The Shredder had to of been behind this. Thinking, that before his death he'd get away with something but what? Donnie racked his brain coming up with nothing.

Finally, rubbing and hand over his face and pinching away the pain from a forming headache he turned his computer screen off. He walked into the kitchen as Lexine's shoulder rose and fell from her heavy breathing of sleep.

He smiled noticing her half empty cup of coffee she insisted she drink to stay awake to help him. He emptied the cup in the skin, pulling the chair out, as her body slumped against his. He cradled her in his arms as he walked up stairs to his room, laying her on his bed.

Her face was lit by the minimal light coming off his computer screen at the foot of his bed. He glided a finger across her cheek, moving a piece of her blonde hair back. He let out a soft sigh as he looked down at his hand. He needed to figure this out.

Lexine's eyes fluttered opened focusing on Donatello's worried expression. She sat up slightly as he placed a hand on her shoulder to set her back down on his bed.

"What's wrong?" She asked, cupping his cheek in her head. He smiled at her gesture taking her hand in his and kissing the tops of her fingers.

"Nothing…Just, something we can worry about another day." He smiled getting up from beside her and starting for the door.

"Donnie, wait." She said softly as he stopped to turn towards her.

"What is it?"

"I don't want you to sleep on the couch."

"Well, I don't really have any other…"

"Sleep with me." She said moving over slightly on his bed. He looked at the space beside her and up at her as his heart beat started to quicken. "Please…Its cold in the lair, and your body heat will keep me warm. Both of us." He froze as his body denied him to move. He clenched his eyes shut, forcing himself to walk slowly over to his bed.

Without taking off his clothing he laid down next to her over the covers, placing his hands over his stomach. He started at the ceiling afraid to move as he felt her body warmth against his arm. He turned his head looking at her as she smiled.

"I'm not going to bite you Don." She smirked placing her head on the pillow.

"I'm…I know…It's just, I've never…This is new to me. I'm not used to…" She leaned up pressing a finger against his lips to quiet his ramble. He relaxed his shoulders against his mattress as she leaned her body against his. She kept her eyes on his as he swallowed hard to her moving closer to his lips. She pressed hers softly against his as he let his hands move up to her body.

His door sung open as they both jumped up.

"Hey Don have you…Whoa…sorry!" Michelangelo said closing the door behind him as he winced to the sound of it opening again. Donatello walked in the hall as he closed the door behind him.

"Mikey, have you heard of knocking?"

"I'm sorry bro! It's just, have you seen Raph? Leo is going crazy that he's not in his room. Neither is Jac. Jade and Leo are freakin out dude." Mikey asked looking over his shoulder as Leonardo stormed up the stairs making a b-line towards Donnie. He backed up against his door scared Leonardo wouldn't stop before he got to him.

"Donatello, have you seen Raphael?" Leo asked. He knew he was irate considering the fact that he never used their full names unless he needed to make his point across.

"N-no Leo…I was in the lab. Lexi fell asleep at the table. Neither of us saw them." Leonardo sighed angrily as he turned back to check Raphael's room for the third time. He slammed the door shut.

Lexine made her way out of Donatello's room as Jade eyed her coming out. She smiled shyly at her sister as Fiona emerged from Michelangelo's room. Jade turned towards both of her sisters.

"What are you two doing?" She whispered harshly, grabbing both of their arms and pulling them away from the others.

"Nothing, I was trying to sleep." Lexine said pulling away slightly offended. Fiona smiled and smoothed out her hair as she bite her lip looking over at Michelangelo ignoring her sister's angry demands. Jade narrowed her eyes forcing Fiona's face to look at hers with her fingers grasped onto her chin.

"What?" Fiona said not having idea what she was saying before.

"What were you doing in Mikey's room?"

"Making out…Why?" Jade dropped her hand and crossed her arms towards her sister.

"At least she's honest." Lexi shrugged. Jade rolled her eyes.

"Have you seen Jacqueline? She and Raphael went out earlier and never came back. They've been gone for hours now."

"Maybe they're just out. Why does it matter? Raphael's all human-esk now." Fiona said leaning against the wall. "And besides the Shredders dead."

"Hun was looking for me Fiona!" Jade snapped at her younger sister. Fiona stepped back against the wall, wincing to the yell.

"Yeah, you not Jacqueline."

"He knows all of us. You don't think that he would use one of you to get to me? He's not stupid Fiona! They're in trouble. You can't feel that?" Jade asked starting to pace.

"Just calm down. We'll go topside and find them." Lexine offered in calming tones towards her sister. Jade sighed, stopping in her pace as she nodded her head.

"We shouldn't split up. Stay together. The sun is down. Leonardo and I were just up there but we didn't go too far and stayed in public settings. Now that it is dark, it'll be harder to keep to large groups so we'd attract attention if we were followed." Fiona and Lexine nodded as they started for the stairs.

Leonardo narrowed his eyes at the girls walking down the stairs, running past his brothers.

"Where are you going?"

"Come on, we don't have all night." Jade called back to him. He rolled his eyes with a fusterated growl turning to look at his brothers.

"Come on." He said as he caught up with the girls. Michelangelo smirked.

"Better grab your bo dude, we're probably gonna need it." Donnie nodded and went back into his room grabbing his bo staff that was leaned against his wall.

Leonardo put a jacket on, placing his leather katana strap over it waiting for his brothers at the big doors to the lair.

Jacqueline ran, trying not to get her feet to tire as she couldn't look to her left anymore to see is Raphael was still there. She couldn't feel him. She chocked back tears as her throat burned from the night air seeping into her lungs. She pushed harder, as her boots started to seem heavier than their actual weight. Her thighs burned, but she wasn't going to let them catch her, not that close to the lair.

Foot Ninjas closed in as she slid across the concrete roof tops, stumbling a bit from her rubber soles. She tried to force her thoughts away from Jade and her sisters. She tired to force Jade's thoughts away from hers. She knew she'd come looking for her and she didn't want this to be how it happened. Foot jumped down in front of her as she looked behind her as she was surrounded. Her breath started to catch up with her as lit a flame in her hand.

"I'm not going down without a fight mother fuckers." She growled as she threw the flame out towards them. They flipped out of its reach as it extinguished in the air. She felt Jade closer and pushed her away, giving her a different direction. They were after Jade not her. She needed to buy time.

She looked around her as she noticed a roof top, close enough to make if she worked up enough speed. She looked towards the Foot in front of her and back towards the space. Fuck it. She thought to herself as she darted to the side, taking off in a run moving her feet as fast as she could to work up momentum to make the leap.

She fell harshly onto the hard roofing next to her as she was wrapped up in netting. She cursed the Foot around her as she fought against the trap. They didn't respond or talk at all as they dragged her towards a waiting truck with his back doors opened. They threw her body into the darkness of the bed as she prepared herself for the landing.

The light was cut off by the closing of the doors as she still struggled to get free. She couldn't hear anything other than her own grunts and settled herself to see if she was alone. Nothing. She closed her eyes away from tears as she thought of Raphael. Maybe he got away.

She felt her shoulder throbbing, as she hit the bed of the truck harder than she liked. She rolled onto her back, as her knees touched her chest in her balled up position she was forced into. Feeling of sleep came over her fast and hard as she tried to shake it away. It kept resurfacing, making her eyes flutter forcing them to stay open.

Jade kept stopping in front of the group, darting off in different direction as her sisters followed. She closed her eyes, standing on the ledge of a roof top as she felt everything in the city around her. Trying to take everything in, every movement, every sound, every form of life.

She got images of people walking down the street, people watching television in their apartments. Then, she got an image of Jacqueline running. Her face flushed with red as she let out pained breaths, darting her head behind her to see the followers. The Foot. She steadied her breathing as she got another image of Raphael fighting off Foot around him. He was able to keep them off him as her thoughts were forced back to her sister. Jade clenched her eyes closed, focusing on the images behind her sister as they started to double and close in. She opened her eyes turning towards Leonardo.

"What is it?"

"Go back home." She said turning towards her sisters and looking back at Leonardo. He furrowed his brow in concern as she turned to walk away. Lexine grabbed her arm before Leonardo could get to her.

"We're not leaving you Jade." She said as Jade pulled her arm away.

"Yes you are. All of you. They want me, they can have me."

"Jade…No." Fiona said stepping closer to Lexine who's hand fell at her side in shock. Leonardo felt tears swell in his eyes as he pushed them away running to Jade before she could jump the next roof.

"No!" He said grasping her by the biceps as she tired to push his hands away. "You're not doing this. I'm not going to let you." He said calming his voice. She looked up at him with a smile and kissed his lips softly.

"I love you Leonardo. Remember that." She said stepping away from him. He reached for her again as she stopped him from moving with her powers. He clenched his teeth trying to move as she jumped the next roof.

Ok so writers block SUCKS! I re-wrote this chapter at least five times before I decided on this. It's short but bare with me because it's going to get better, hopefully. Anyways...hope you liked it!
