Hey there! Its been years! And I am back! I really love this story and I want to finish writing this story. I know that there were a lot of people that want to see this story finished. So... I shall finish it!
So here it is! The next chapter of The Secret Within.
DISCLAIMERS:... I think you know the drill...I own Dona though...so yeah :) lol
Raphael drives through the city of New York like a wild man. All he could think about was if Dona was ok. Was his baby ok? He had no idea what to do, but knew that if he could get everyone together then everything would work out. Maybe...He hoped. "Raphael, where are we going? I don't know if you this, but this is not a real safe part of town. And on top of that...this is an alley way. I don't think this is safe." Thomas did not feel comfortable with the spot that Raphael chose to park the car.
Raphael chuckled, "You couldn't be more wrong actually. Follow me." Thomas followed Raph out of the car and deeper into the alley.
"Are you sure? This is kinda making me nervous." He then saw Raphael stoop down and lift up a sewer lid, "Umm...what are you doing?"
Raphael started making his way down. "Well? Are you coming or not?" Thomas shrugged his shoulders and followed him down the sewer didn't seem right to Thomas. Why did he live in a sewer? Did his daughter live here too? He hoped that she didn't! This place was disgusting! "Hey, don't worry. We don't live like bums I promise you."
"Huh?"
"I had a feeling that you were getting uncomfortable. I know it kinda stinks a bit, but we are almost there...My place is really cool. I can introduce you to the rest of my family."
Thomas was confused about what Raphael was talking about. True he was uncomfortable knowing that his daughter lived down here in the filth.
"Alrighty then. We are here." Raph said proudly.
"Umm...this is a wall." Thomas observed.
"True, but this is no ordinary wall. Watch." Raphael felt around wall looking for something, "Ah! Here it is." He then lifted up a piece of the wall. It was a keypad.
Thomas was amazed by this, "What is this?" Raphael chuckled at how amazed Thomas was with everything.
"Thomas, welcome to my home." The wall shifted and revealed a large opening. He was amazed at how huge the place was. It was a sight to see. This was the place that his daughter was living in, and it was HUGE! "Hey guys! I'm callin' an emergency!"
And just like that everyone came out in a flash. Raphael introduced everyone to his father-in-law, and explained the situation. "So the question is...how do we get her out there without putting her in any danger." Leonardo said.
"Or the baby." Michelangelo pointed out. "I want to be Uncle Mikey!"
Donny stood, "I know you do...we all of us want to take care of the kid...but remember that Raphael is the dad...we need to help him out. We will come up with something. I know we will." Donatello walked over and placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. The worry that he must be going through right at that moment. He just got reunited with Dona little over a year ago, they got married, and they are going to be having a kid together. Why is this happening? This was supposed to be Raph's chance to be happy for once. After three years, they are now finally together again. The only thing is...will there be another gap for them if things go awry again? No, this time they were going to get her out of there. She was going to be rescued one way or another.
She woke up feeling light headed, "Ugh...where...am...I? Ouch!" Dona grabbed her belly. Her baby kicked really hard; sometimes it felt like the baby knew when she was stressed or in trouble. "Relax, baby, everything is going to be ok." She rubbed her belly once more in an attempt to calm the baby down, but with no such luck. She felt so sick from all the movement, but she knew that she has to get out of where ever she was. "Come on now...we have to get out of here."
"You're not going anywhere. You are going to stay right where you are."
"Toby!" Dona started walking in the direction of his voice. "Toby! Where are you? Show yourself!"
"Right here." Then there he stood with a light over him.
She carefully started walking towards him, "Why am I here? Why are you doing this to me?"
"You should blame yourself for that, Dona. If you only stayed with me then you wouldn't be here in this mess."
"Mess? What mess? You brought me here! Ow!" Dona felt like she walked into something, but there was no way she could have. "What did I hit?" She got up and noticed that there was a glass wall in front of her. "Toby, let me out! Please!"
Toby just shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, love can't do that. We have bigger plans for you."
"We? What do you mean 'we'?"
"Me..."
Dona shook with fear. She knew that voice. That horrible voice from three years ago. "Shredder...how...how...there's no way! I heard that there no other survivors! No...No...No..." She felt her knees get weak.
"You have escaped my grasp last time, but not this time my dear. You are going to help me get rid of those despicable turtles. This time they will DIE!"
Dona finally collapsed to her knees, and grabbed her belly. The baby kicked even harder this time, Please Raph...come and save me.
Raphael leaned against the wall of the car. He had to save her...he HAD to. If he lost her again, he didn't know what he was going to do with himself. "Raph, hey...Raph. RAPH!"
"Huh? Oh! Sorry, Leo."
"Come on, man. We need your head in the game right now. I know that you're worried about Dona, but so are we."
"I know." Raph calmly replied. "I have to get her out of there if it's the last thing I do." His brothers looked at him with a smile and agreed with him. Raph looked out the window, and up at the star-less sky. Hold on, Dona...I'm coming for you.
