Happy Notes!!! (from the Author)

- I do not own TMNT or any of the characters residing in their universe.

- If you have any questions or concerns what-so-ever don't be afraid to ask - I don't bite (much...)

- As it is my birthday, I will give you DOUBLE!!! Yep, that means I'm giving two chapters for the price of one!!!! (N.B. This is the first part)

- The reason there has been a delay is due to the fact it was pointed out to me that my layout out was not strictly correct, so incase you haven't noticed, I went through all the chapters previously written and changed the paragraphing/layout so it is now correct. ;) Thanks for waiting, ENJOY!!!!

Chapter 6: Misery

Donny knocked on the door and waited patiently. After a minute, he knocked again, still no answer. He began to worry as Violet was usually woken up easily. He decided to go in, as he needed to know she was all right. As he opened the door, it became apparent that she had gone. He walked to the bed, which was unmade. This was unlike Violet as she was generally neat. He looked over the bed and saw a note that was folded in two. He picked it up and opened it. 'DON'T FOLLOW'it indicated. Don frowned, it didn't sound like Violet, even if she was to leave, she wouldn't be so rude as to leave just a note with two words on.

He walked over to her desk where he saw her pink mask, not that she wore it anymore. He saw some upside-down pieces of paper under it and picked them up. On top was a picture she had drawn. It was so beautiful; she had drawn all four turtles with Splinter, training with their signature weapons. He was impressed by the amount of detail in it. He flicked to the next page trying to find a clue. He saw written with a load of doodles 'Home sweet sewer' he compared it to the note he'd found and was troubled when he noticed the handwriting was different.

He ran out of Violet's room to Leo who was training. He stopped as soon as Don approached him. "Are you alright Don?" he asked as he saw a sad look on his face. Something was wrong, he could tell. He looked towards Don's hand where he noticed Don clutching a note rather tightly. He took it from Don's grasp, "Where'd you find this?" he looked concerned as he looked at the writing on it.

"I found that in Violet's room" he mumbled but almost shouted out "It's not her handwriting! I think they got her..." he sounded really upset.

"I'll go get Raph and Mikey" Leo told Don quietly "You should go see Master Splinters" All Don did was nod in recognition.

He wandered over to Master Splinters study but when he went to knock, he heard Master Splinter call "Enter" He did as he was told even if it was slowly.

"So I guess you know"

Splinters looked over at Donatello sympathetically, "I have to tell you something"

"Earlier, when it was rather late at night, I heard Raphael and Violet sneak back from going topside" Don frowned at the thought of this. "But they spoke softly to each other and went to bed" he continued. "Being close to Violet's room, I can often hear her talk in her sleep. After she had dozed off, I heard her speaking again" he paused. Don could see a saddened look on his face. "She shouted out several times in fear. She asked where she was, she mumbled about short looking guys and that the elements were after her" he hesitated "She then shouted out for you and your brothers" he finished.

Don could feel tears prickling in his eyes but he forced them back. "Then what?" he urged.

Splinters moved toward his son, "She was gone" Don fell onto his knees, still forcing back the tears. "I believe we already know where she will be, my son" Splinter soothed Donatello.

"Yes... we do!" he said determinedly and left to see his brothers.

"So you're telling me those foot geeks came and took Violet using a bunch of party tricks?" Raph demanded. Don simply nodded.

"We gotta' save her then!" Mikey burst out after being rather quiet for a while.

"Don't worry, we will" Leo patted his brother on the shoulder.

"Well, you better start your plans then" Splinter joined them from his study. They had been told what they needed to hear.

As the day continued to form, Violet sat glumly in the small room. It was basically a prison, she could see the door had bars on it and there was no windows. She stared vaguely at the wall. She sighed, "Some success I turned out to be" she muttered.

A single teardrop escaped her eye. She wiped it away as she heard someone opening the locked door. A person entered, but Violet dared not look at them.

"Ah! Violet" the person inquired.

"What's it to you?" she sneered. It was so dark in the room; she could barely see the person. His silhouette looked as if he was sitting in a machine of some sort.

"Everything!" he answered simply. "You can call me Baxter Stockman" he almost teased her as he was speaking to her. Something was rammed into her left arm, and it gashed her like when she had pulled out that dart.

"What the hell was that for?" she demanded as he took the syringe out her arm which he had used. It now contained some blood instead of the clear liquid he had in it before.

"For Science!" he answered automatically and added after "And for the Shredder!"

She could feel herself slipping away again. They were tranquillising her again. She panicked as she remembered what happened last time, and in an effort for freedom, tugged at the chains keeping her there. She was too weak. Her body lost all its energy and she collapsed in a heap on the floor. As she blacked out for the second time this week, she heard Stockman laughing.
