Attention: I don't own TMNT; but you already knew that.
So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
The journey was silent
Only sounds of the sloshing sewer water and breathes taken were heard
Through the sewers they went, the four boys following her
All eyes on her back
Entering the lair, it was awkward
She was still a turtle…but it was like she was something more
More than they would ever be…
Jasmine ignored this, but sooner or later she knew she would have to face it…
They had seen…
She knew by the looks she was getting from them
That was the last thing on her mind now, because…
She was cold, so cold
Her steps became short, knees shaking
What is wrong with me? She thought, trying to hide it
Stumbling towards her room, going as fast as she could manage
She felt their eyes disappear; sighs of relief came from her mouth
What was in that last shot? The female thought, her teeth chattering
"This next one is special, requested by Master Shredder" Baxter said, inserting the needle into her arm
Instead of the burning sensation she had felt by the others, this was cold
So cold…it felt like her blood was freezing, about to crack
Cold…icy…numb
Wiping his hands, the scientist left and left her alone
Screams rattled through her brain, Mikey…
Her chilled blood came to life, as she ignored the pain
His words going to the back of her mind…she went to rescue him
The memory vanished from her mind, as she reached her door
She heard someone call her name, she wasn't sure who
So cold…
Feeling was fading from her limbs, becoming numb
She could hardly stand, her knees buckling beneath her
Brushing against the wall, her hand screamed in pain
So icy…
Her lips were numb, no sound coming from them
A hand grabbed her arm, burning her
It supported her up, dark brown eyes looking at her
She fell, being caught by someone
Words were scrambled, her brain frozen
So numb…
No feeling in her body, the burning hands held her up
Her name called, it didn't reach her ears
Loud voices, panicked and concerned
The world spun, being lifted up
The warm chest next to her burned
Something soft beneath her, pressure crushing her forehead
Her lungs felt like ice, struggling to breathe
Questions were being asked, she couldn't respond
The shot, Jasmine thought, they need to know
"Stockman" She whispered, holding out her arm
Darkness overtook her, plunging her into an icy state
So cold…
So icy…
So numb…
Entering the lair, she went one way and they went the other
Three of the four went into the living room, but one stayed behind
It's like they don't care, Donatello thought, trying to order his thoughts
He looked to see her limping, concern jumping into his dark brown eyes
I better check on her, but she might want to be left alone
I would if my family was treating me like an outcast
She leaned against a wall, like she was hurt
"Jasmine?" He said, grabbing her arm
She was cold, icy cold
No answer, instead she started to fall
Shock came to his face as the brainy turtle caught his sister
She was dead weight, he could barley hold her
"Jasmine?!?" He asked, trying to get a response
Nothing, just a staggered breath
I need help, I can't lift her
He knew that for sure
Luckily he knew three turtles that would help him…
"LEO! RAPH! MIKEY! GET IN HERE!"
…his brothers
Sitting on the couch, Raph didn't noticing that they were missing a member
Mikey leafed through comic books without interest
Leo was in lotus position, a face of confusion present
He was flipping mindlessly through channels, finally settling on a game
The hothead didn't watch, instead he tried to sort out what had happened
They had left the lair as humans, going to the grocery store
Attacked by Purple dragons, they were scared off by Jasmine
He grinned, at the thought of that moment
Romeo and Juliet had become a couple, finally
After that they had been taken down by foot
Woken up in cages, forced to watch her being electrified
She was taken, and then the Shredder showed up
After that it was all a muddle of confusion
She had been stabbed, her blood spilt
Then she had returned, glowing
"What's up with that anyway?" He muttered, attracting attention
Mikey looked to him, as Leo kept his eyes closed
His elder brother was about to say something, when a voice split through the lair
"LEO!"
The blue banded brother's head snapped up, his light brown eyes wide open.
"RAPH!"
They were both on their feet.
"MIKEY!"
Make that three…
"GET IN HERE!"
They all dashed towards the voice of their brother, to find him struggling with her weight
"What happened?" Leo asked, lifting her into his arms
"She collapsed, I don't know anything other than that she's cold" Don replied, as they walked into her room
"Cold?" Raph asked, as they pulled the covers over her
Mikey grabbed her hand, only to run from the room
"Mikey?" Leo said, although he was more focused on her
Coming back through the door, the youngest turtle carried an armful of blankets
Throwing layer after layer on her, he wrapped her in a cocoon before putting his hand on her forehead
"She's cold as ice" He said, recoiling his hand
"She was fine a minute ago, what's wrong?" Raph asked
"We are cold blooded but there is no reason that she should be this cold" Don replied, taking her temperature
"Maybe it's because she's female" Mikey added, all eyes looking to him
The three elders were thinking the same thing:
Yeah right...
"What? It's just an idea" Mikey said, defending himself
"Even if that is possible, her temperature shouldn't be 86.5!" The purple brother exclaimed, before giving orders
Their temperature hovered around 94.2, because they were cold blooded
A drop temperature could only be from hypothermia or a drug that affected the body's heat
She could die, her organs shutting down
Unless they warmed her core temperature up quick
"I need hot water bottles and a heating pad if we have one" He said, before running an IV into her arm
"Got it" Both Raph and Mikey said, before going to fetch the items
"Leo, bring me her bag" Don said, trying to focus
"Why?" Leo asked, just hovering there
"Because I need to know if she is taking any medication" He replied
His brother's eyes went wide at the possibility of her taking anything
Before he could perform the action, Raph and Mikey came back with their packages
"Put the water bottles under her arms and the heating pad in the blankets on top of her chest" Don instructed
They did so with the greatest care
When they were done all they could do was stare
She was shaking, her teeth chattering
"How can she still be cold?" Mikey asked in amazement
Don was about to respond when her eyes opened
"Jasmine?" Leo said, as they all edged in
Pulling her arm out of the covers, she said "Stockman" before her eyes closed
They all gasped, before that turned into anger
Her arm was covered with injection sites, ones that only be caused by repeated drugs being forced into her system. Some were still fresh from only minutes before, still bleeding…
"I am going to kill him" Raph snarled, his hand balled into fists
"No you aren't" Leo said
"Give me one good reason" Raph said, wondering what it was
"Because I am going to, for hurting her like this" Leo growled, tracing the points
All their eyes went wide as they stared at him…
Never, never, had Leo made such a threat
They all knew he was capable of killing for them, but he had never threaten anyone
"If anyone is getting killed, we are going to do it together" Don said, knowing it was true
"Beside, god knows Jas is going to kill him when she gets better" Mikey added, with a wicked smile
His comment brought smile to all their faces, breaking the tension brought on by the threat
"Any idea what he could have injected her with?" Raph asked, turning the conversation serious again
"No, but I won't sleep till I find out" Don swore, drawing some blood
Looking at the vial of crimson liquid, they all knew that what he said…
Was a personal challenge to him
Was another life for him to save
But most of all…
It was a promise
Awaking, he found that he was in medical bed
"Master Shredder you are awake" Stockman said, entering the room
Rising up he was greeted with wave of pain
"You must rest" The scientist said
"I am fine" He paused "Did you inject the serum I asked for?"
"Yes, she went stiff afterwards" Stockman answered, before asking his own question
"What was in it?"
The Shredder grin before replying "Something that will kill her, this time for good"
"Any chance of survival?" Baxter asked, out of his own curiosity
"Not without the antidote" Saki said, thinking of how she lost
I won…she lost, that's the way it was always meant to be
"Good to know, shall I tell the ninja to prep for attack?" Stockman asked
"Yes" With that word, he knew that his plan was finally complete
He was left alone, as Baxter Stockman exited the room to fulfill his orders
Little did he know someone had been listening…
Someone who knew who secret…
Moving from the spot, the person blended in with the ninja crowd
Heading into the lab, to use the computer
Typing in some information
Finding out a time, the time she had left
72 hours
4,320 minutes
That's all, a gasp escaping the person mouth
That's how the Elite member found the person
In shock…
In denial…
In astonishment…
That's how Karai was found
Reviews? Please?
Will they find the cure?
When will her sisters find her?
Find out next time!
Also, if you had read the original chapter call "Demon showdown" then I suggest you read again because I did some editing….
Anyway…Thanks for reading!
