Attention: I don't own TMNT; but you already knew that.
So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
AN: Just FYI…these separate parts are kind of like POV, but instead it shows the scene around the person (Just if there's any confusion)…
AN: If it says "I", it is that persons thoughts
Example (yeah, I know it's lousy): Mikey sat eating pizza.
I should have gotten cheese.
(That's him thinking)
Anyway….Enjoy!
It was night again, the moon shining down on the smoldering wreckage
The police finished removing the bodies, a crowd of New Yorkers gathered to see
News crews were like wolves, hunting down any information on the strange explosion
The stars disappeared under the bright lights
The darkness brought another storm, this time snow rained down
Although for one turtle it didn't matter
…for the cold had already taken over
She was scared…
Only sustaining minor burns, Karai had lead they uninjured foot to another hideout. Beside her was the Elite, the four had teleported away right when the building had fallen. Her father was still missing, the search parties she had sent out coming back empty handed.
So was her sister…
Why did you have to blow up the building? The female thought, silently cursing herself
I shouldn't have left her alone…I should have stayed
Now she is dead, it's my fault
The sirens bellowing in her ears
Red and blue lights flashing
A scream drew her gaze
"NO! I WON'T LEAVE HER!"
It was the youngest of the turtles, struggling against his brothers
That's when she had known…
Her sister hadn't escaped; she was buried underneath the building
The cop cars rolling in…
Smoke enveloped her, the scene gone
Looking into the eyes of the Elite, she knew that it was the truth
She was gone…
It's all my fault…
She has always been there for me; I have always let her down!
She has always protected me…saved me
And in return…I do nothing!
Frustrated, the female began pacing
The foot looked at her in confusion, but then snapped out of it. It's Master Shredder, they all thought, she's worried about him. Staying out of their mistress's path, they all wondered whether their Master was alive
Because at the moment, it looked like his only heir was coming apart at the seams…
Underground, there were others pacing…
The two elder brothers were pacing, going from one side of the lair to another. Once in a while the two passed each other, but stayed out of each other's way. The two younger turtles were in the living room, both on the couch.
Michelangelo was flipping through the channels, never listening to anyone for more than a second. Donatello was on his laptop, furiously typing. Dark rings from exhaustion, were under the four's eyes.
They had search high and low for her the night before, to no avail
"Don did you…" Leo started to say
"Yes" Don cut him off
"You didn't know what I was going to say" Leo grumbled, stopping his pacing for a second
"You were going to ask if I tracked her shell cell" The purple banded brother responded, taking a sip of coffee
"Well did you?" Raph asked, also stopping pacing
"Yes, I did" Don snapped, going back to his computer
"And?" Leo said, wanting more information
"The signal shows that she's under the rubble" Don replied, the shock already worn off
"Damn it" The hothead snarled, punching the wall
"This is my fault" Leo said, going back to his pacing
"It's all of our faults" Don reminded him
"We shouldn't have left" Raph growled, beginning to pace just as Leo was
"I should have paid more attention" Mikey said, causing them all to go silent
It was the first time the youngest turtle had spoken since they had dragged him away
No one spoke for a moment, because they were in shock
"Mikey, it's not your fault" Don spoke, cutting the silence
"I should have been watching over her, instead I was distracted by the dvd" The orange bandanna muttered, holding the disk in his hand
"What dvd?" Raph asked
That's right we never told them, Don thought
"We found it in her bag and came out into the living room…" Don drifted off
Mikey finished the sentence, bitterness in his voice "That's when she was taken"
"It's still not your fault" Leo said
"Yes it is" Mikey said, standing up
"No it is not" Raph said, putting a hand on his shoulder
The youngest brother shook off the hand, walking towards the lair door
"Mikey…" Don started to say, before Leo interrupted him
"Let him go…he needs time" The leader said
"I need to get back to work" Don muttered, continuing to type
Both the elder's went back to pacing like they had before, the lair going silent once more. The elusive disk was again forgotten, sitting on the coffee table, gathering dust.
At the moment they were looking for their sister, not answers
Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, he ignored the cold. With nothing but his belt and pads on, the snow ice mix sliced through him.
But Michelangelo didn't care as he ran along
The world faded, as he vanished into his own thoughts
This is all my fault! He thought, continuing to blame himself
I left her alone…I let the Elite take her! His fists were clenched in anger at himself
He jumped over a patch of ice and kept running
The conditions were getting deadly, everything turning slick with ice
Mikey didn't notice as he ran along, his mind clouded
After everything, she is dead because of me!
Hearing the ring of his shell cell, he ignored it. It was his brothers, telling him to come home. He didn't want to talk to anyone, well maybe except…
Oblivious to his surroundings, the young turtle jumped too early. Hitting the side of the building, he struggled to hang on to the ledge…
He felt something fall past his face
It was the bracelet; it had slipped off his arm from the impact. One of his hands reached out to catch it. With it safely in his hand, he jumped down to the ground. Mikey then slipped it on to the place it had been since the other night…
It was all he had left of her, the scratched silver
The jester hat almost unrecognizable, from the explosion, beside it was a blue bead, the only one that had survived. It reminded him of her eyes, which happened to be the same color.
Movement caught his eye, bringing him from his thoughts
Looking to the spot it had come from, all he saw was a pile of trash
Wait…it was someone
Pulling out his chucks, he nudged the person
Nothing…
He was sure he had seen the pile move, so he again nudged it
Little did he know the person he had stumbled upon...
Back underground, his brothers were getting worried
"He didn't answer" Don reported, closing the shell cell in his hand
"The storms getting worse" Raph said, from his place at the couch
"We'll give him five minutes, then we'll go after him" Leo said, turning back to the news
The three watched the news reporter battle the roaring wind, trying to tell citizens to stay inside. Then the purple bandanna's phone went off, calling their attention to it.
"Hello?" Don asked, opening it
"Pu-put it on spe-speaker" The voice of his younger brother answered, the chattering of his teeth heard
Both his elder brothers looked at him as he pressed a button
"Mikey?" Leo asked, now that they could all hear
"You guys need to get over here" Mikey was able to say, although they could hear him shivering afterwards
"What's wrong?" Raph asked, concern in his voice
"I found her…" The orange brother replied, his voice perking up
"What?!?" The three roared, but in a good way
"Yeah I…" There was a pause
"Hey, you still there?" Raph called, a smile on his face
In the background, Mikey's voice appeared "Jasmine, you need to stay awake"
Barley audible, a voice responded. "So tired"
Then Mikey took over again, "Stay with me"
"Where are you?!?" Leo said, needing no more information
"Near blast site, I don't know exactly where though" Mikey said quickly, like he had forgotten they were there
The line went dead; the brothers running out the door
The giant engine of the Battle shell roared to life as they left the abandoned warehouse.
Speeding down the streets, they had the heat going full blast. Don was in the back, preparing blankets, ready to wrap the two in warmth. Leo in the passenger seat, getting ready to jump out and carry her to the back. Driving was Raph, who took each turn at full speed, ignoring the ice beneath the tires which threatened to overturn them.
They knew they were racing against time, against the ice.
Moments before
She was curled into a ball, her mind numb.
Feeling dizzy from all the blood she had lost, she had stayed that way.
No one had noticed her all day and now again it was night. Through the thin newspaper she felt the snow hit her. Her stomach growled, but hunger was the last thing on her mind. Her yellow bandanna soaked through with blood, the wound still slightly seeping.
Have to hold on, Jasmine thought
She felt as a person landed in the alley, a few feet away.
Involuntarily she shivered from the cold, causing the person to come near her
I have to stay still or they will find me
Trying to contain the chills going through her bones, she almost didn't feel something poke her
Not moving, she hoped the person would go away
Again she felt something touch her
This time a chill over took her that she couldn't ignore, her body shook
Snowflakes hit her skin, as she felt someone pull off the news paper
"Jasmine?!?" She heard a voice say
She raised her stiff neck up, ignoring the urge to curl back up. Opening her eyes, which had been closed most of the day, her brother appeared in her sights.
"Mikey…" She whispered, before shaking from the cold
Then she felt a heat source sit beside her, warming her skin. It was Mikey, trying to keep them both warm. The female leaned into the heat, exhaustion over coming her. She listened as he talked on his shell cell.
Must be the guys, she thought with a smile
A roar in her ear told her that the orange brother had told them she was here. The conversation he was having faded from her ears as she started to drift off.
Before dreams took over, she was being shaken
"Jasmine, you have to stay awake" She heard her portable heater say
"So tired" She mumbled, trying to drift off again
"Stay with me" Mikey said, pulling her closer before turning back to the phone in his hand
After a few words, he shut the shell cell, turning back to her. Neither said anything, both just trying to stay warm. The snow started to cover them, the roar of an engine being heard in the distance.
"Bet ya Leo's driving" Jasmine heard him say, followed by a snicker
"Raph is" She replied, the two huddled together
"How do you know?" He asked
"Because I can hear him cursing from here" She stated, the night split with laughter
"Plus, he's the only one who would drive this fast in a storm" Mikey added, wiping a tear from his ear
"Yeah, he would" She muttered, her blue orbs closing
"We all would" Was the last thing she heard, before everything caught up with her and she sunk into darkness
