"Bradford?" I called as I walked into his apartment. The place was trashed. "Bradford!" I yelled. I started running around, looking. He wasn't there, and I couldn't find a clue as to where he's been. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I whirled around, my sword ready. There was a man in here, wearing a dark suit. "Alright, where's Bradford!" I demanded. He smiled. "You Bradford's little girly aren't ya?" he asked in a raspy voice. I got into position. "What does it matter to you," I growled. He took a step towards me. "You're gonna make a nice little present for the boss," he said.

I growled and swung my sword, making a large gash on the man's cheek. "I ain't no one's present, and you're gonna tell me where Bradford is, or else you can say bye to the boss," I snapped. The man snapped his fingers, and I got ready. About ten other guys came out, but I could take them. "Alright sweetheart. Boss wants a present, and he's gonna get one," the man said. I glared at him, and kicked him into the wall. I tried to swing my sword, but a guy kicked it away. "Big mistake," I hissed.

I battled it out with those guys until one of them grabbed me from behind, and threw me across the room. I smacked into the wall with a groan. I shook my head to keep myself from passing out. "Bradford..." I whispered, "He's still okay. He.. He texted me about ten minutes ago. And he could be goin to get help." The man grinned wickedly. "Ya mean with this phone?" he asked, holding out his palm. There was a phone in his hand... Bradford's phone. "No..." I said. I slowly got up, and back into a fighting stance. "You'll pay for this!" I screamed.

I charged for the man, but another guy came and whacked me against the wall again. I tried to get up, but I was kicked into the wall over and over and over. Pretty soon, the room was getting fuzzy. I shook my head, and used that last bit of energy to try and stop them. Somebody punched me into the wall, and the world went black.

ALLY'S POV

I felt something burning and I looked down. My necklace was glowing for like the third time that day. The first two were just false alarms, Kayla walking down the street and Kayla opening the door to Bradford's apartment. I shook my head. "I'm sure that Kayla can handle just about anything that comes her way. She is like a female terminator after all," I said to myself, "But I do want to see what it's gonna be this time. Maybe it's Kayla having.. *gasp* Dinner with Bradford!" I laughed at my joke, even though no one was around.

I touched my necklace and prepared for the image. Kayla was fighting someone, about ten different guys in dark suits. She was getting roughed up pretty bad, and then she was kicked into a wall. She got back up, but they kicked into the wall again. The image faded, and I was freaking out. "Lenny! Mari!" I screamed, "Everyone!" I ran out to grab Lenny. I shook her. "Lenny, Kayla's in some major trouble!" I screamed. Lenny patted my shoulder. "Ally, Kayla's gonna be fine. It was probably just another false alarm," she said. I shook my head. "I'm serious Lenny! There were these huge guys in dark suits beating her up! We need to go find her," I said, pulling on her arm.

Mari looked at me. "Kayla's really in trouble?" she asked. I glared at her. "Yes! And we have to go find her right now," I growled. Lenny stayed put. "Call her first, see if she's okay," she said. I felt like slapping the crap outta her. "Lenny! Stop bein Ms. Hero pants and let's go save our sister!" I snapped. I pushed her aside, and went to go find someone who actually cares.

"Donnie, I need your help," I said. He looked up. "You okay Ally?" he asked. I shook my head. "Kayla is in trouble, and Lenny's not helpin," I said. Donnie smiled softly at me, causing my heart to flutter a little. "Look, I know you saw something in that image, but maybe it was false," he said. I held myself back from slapping him. "No! That image was not false! Kayla is in TROUBLE! Are ya gonna help me or not?!" I yelled. He flinched at my harsh tone. "Look Don, I'm sorry okay, but I really want to save Kayla," I said. "It's okay, maybe you should try to figure out a location," he said. I smiled at him. "Thanks Donnie, can you maybe tell Leo. You know we can hardly go anywhere without him," I said.

As soon as Leo and Lenny were in the room, I took a deep breath. "Okay, we know that Kayla went to go visit Bradford for the night right?" I said, "But I think something ELSE was there waiting for her." Mari nodded. "Yeah, maybe we gotta figure out how they took her," she said. "Obviously they got her at Bradford's apartment. But still, we need to go there and look for some clues, or at least an idea of where they took her," I said. I looked at Leo, my eyes pleading for him to let us leave. He sighed. "Fine, we'll go look for her. Ally, you go get Raph before we leave. I think it's important for him to know that she could be in trouble," he said.

I ran straight for the dojo. "Raph, come on we're leaving," I said. "What do ya mean? W-" "Kayla's in danger. I saw an image of her being taken by someone," I interrupted. His eyes widened. "Well come on! We gotta go now," he said, "Hanna, go find Master Splinter." Hanna nodded, and went into Splinter's room. "Whoever took her is gonna be drinkin out a straw when I'm done with em," he growled. I rolled my eyes. "Come on Raph, let's just go," I said.

The door nearly fell off of its hinges when I opened it. The once beautiful apartment was demolished. Furniture was thrown aside, and there was an obvious sign of a struggle. I took a step inside, and looked around. Then something caught my eye. The wall had a small crack in it, and there were blood stains on the floor and the wall. Then I found something else. The bracelet Raph gave Kayla, smashed, every gem crushed and the heart broken into two. "Guys... Look," I said. Mari burst into tears when she saw it. "Ally, does this mean that she's... Gone?" Mari asked. Donnie kneeled next to me. "I should probably take a sample to see if the blood is hers," he said.

I moved out of his way, and looked around. I eventually found her sword with a small amount of blood on the tip. I passed it to Donnie, and continued looking. I glanced back and saw Raph gently picking up the remains of the bracelet. "Kayla..." he whispered. I put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll get her back really soon," I said. He glared at me. "How do you know. She could be thousands of miles away from here.. And we might never see her again," he said. I tried to talk to him, but he shrugged me off. I joined Donnie. Man, I hope we find her soon... I thought sadly. I really hope we find her soon.

KAYLA'S POV

All I felt was pain as I slowly regained consciousness. I was in some sort of musty room, and as I stood up, I realized I was in some sort of cage. I pounded my fists against the bars. "Let me out!" I demanded. The man I fought slowly came in from another room. I knew it was him because of the bandage on his cheek. "Ah, you're awake. You ready to meet the boss?" he asked. "No, I'm ready to terminate the boss," I growled. I rubbed my shoulder. It still hurt from when I was thrown into the wall. "Ah ah ah. You need to have a good attitude when you're meetin the boss. Since you're gonna be stayin here for awhile," he said. I gripped the bars, and glared at the man in pure hatred. "I'm not goin to stay here as your pet!" I yelled. Two more guys came in. "Alright boys, take her to... The boss," he said. I tried my hardest to break free as the two men moved my cage.

I ended up in a blue dimly lit room before a small set of stairs. There was a big man sitting in a chair at the top. "Floyd, what's with that bandage on your face?" he asked. The man who I guessed was Floyd stepped forward. "We have a present for ya boss," he said, "Bring her in." The two men rolled my cage under the light, where I glared up at the man in the chair. He got up and walked over to my cage. "This Bradford's girl?" he asked. Floyd nodded and the man smiled. "Well she sure is a pretty one," he said. He tickled me under my chin and I bit him. "Feisty one at that," he said with a chuckle.

"Alright boss man, why am I here and what have you done with Bradford?!" I demanded as I glared at him. "Oh I didn't do anything to Bradford," the man replied, "At least not yet." "What do you mean?" I asked. "You see, Bradford made a deal with us, but never kept his end of the deal. Do we decided to take something of his," he said. I boiled with rage. "Y-ya can't keep me locked up in here!" "Course I can. Unless Bradford gives us what we want, you gonna be here a loooong time," he shot back.

I started to attack the bars, punching and kicking at them."Let me outta here!" I demanded. "Looky here girl. You're gonna have to be happy while you're here, or else it'll feel like you're trapped," the 'boss' said. I narrowed my eyes at him. "I AM trapped in here if you didn't notice," I snapped. "Well since you're gonna be here for awhile, you're gonna have to get used to things round here," he said, ignoring me, "For instance, I'm the boss around here, but you can call me Big Daddy." I crossed my arms. "I'm not gonna call you anything. Cept scum," I growled. "That's not the way to be, you need to be happy while you're here," Floyd said. I turned away.

"Come now, we'll give you a little name or something," Big Daddy said. I ignored them. "How bout Candy?" Floyd asked. "No something that'll fit," Big Daddy said. I sighed, irritated. "Maybe we could call her Se-" Big Daddy smacked him upside the head. "Nah fool! She won't like that!" he yelled. "Sorry boss," Floyd mumbled. Idiots. Man I hope I get outta here real soon, I thought. "How bout Princess then?" Floyd suggested. I whirled around. "No! I don't want any of your stupid names! I just wanna get the hell outta here!" I screamed. "Aw see what you did Floyd? You upset our guest," Big Daddy said. I rolled my eyes. Floyd started to tap on the bars. "I'm awful sorry if I upset ya," he said. I ignored him.

They went back to negotiating names. "Kitty? Cause she sure is one bad kitty," Floyd said. Big Daddy face palmed. "Look here Floyd, she's my present, so I gets to name her," he said. I growled. "I know! Dolly You can be little Miss Dolly!" Big Daddy exclaimed. "No, I don't want any of your names," I hissed. "Well then, tell me your real name," Big Daddy said. I shook my head. "I don't trust or like you," I growled. Big Daddy shrugged. "It's either that or Miss Dolly," he replied. No response. "Miss Dolly it is," Floyd said.

I sat there for I don't know how long meditating, when Floyd tapped on the bars. "Miss Dolly, you hungry?" he asked. I nodded. "What you want?" he asked. "Why do you care? I'M your prisoner," I snapped. "The boss wants me to take care of our special guests. Said he can't have a pretty girl like yourself dying no can he?" Floyd explained. "Guess I like macaroni and cheese," I muttered. "Alright, be back in minute Miss Dolly. Anything else?" he asked. "Water's fine," I said. Once he left I started looking for an escape. I don't know how they put me into the cage, but I'm gonna try to find a way out.

I yanked and pulled at random bars, trying to find some sort of lever or something. No luck so far. I sighed in defeat. I should just meditate a little to keep thoughts together, I thought. Floyd soon returned with a plate and a small cup of water. Okay, maybe if I see how he puts in the food, then I can get an idea of how they put me in here, I thought. I watched carefully as Floyd pressed a button at the top, and passed the food down to me. "The boss also wanted you to eat with us, that way you won't be lonely," he said. "It's funny how he's takin such good care of me, but yet I'm stuck in a cage," I said under my breath. Two men came and rolled me down another hallway.

I was put in a room with dark purple walls and three long tables. "What is this place?" I asked. "It's where we eat together. You'll like it here," Floyd said. "Not likely," I muttered. Floyd whistled, and twenty guys came running in. "Alright boys, this here is Miss Dolly. She's gonna be stayin here with us, and it's our job to take good care of her," Floyd said. The men all said hello, but I didn't respond. "She's a little shy," Floyd said. I rolled my eyes. I just wanna get to that button, I thought, And then I can get outta this place.

RAPH'S POV

It was quiet as we headed back to the lair. I still had the smashed necklace in my hands, and I was just staring at it. Man, what am I gonna tell Hanna? I thought. I walked into the dojo and found Hanna practicing with her wooden sword. "Hey kid," I said, forcing a smile. "Waph!" she exclaimed. She dropped her sword, and gave me a hug. "You find Kaywa?" she asked. My face fell and she stopped smiling. "Waph?" she asked. I sighed and kneeled down so I was looking her in the eye. "Well ya see, Kayla was taken by someone," I said, "And we don't know where she is." Hanna's eyes filled with tears. "Kaywa not coming back?" she asked.

I shook my head. "We have to find out where she is," I said. Hanna grabbed my arm and started to cry. I gently stroked her head the same way I would do if Kayla had nightmares. "It okay Hanna," I said softly, "We'll get her back. I promise." She looked up at me, her eyes glistening with tears. "Weally?" she asked. I wiped the tears away with my thumb. "Yes. Come on, let's get you to bed," I said.

As I tucked Hanna in, she pulled on my mask. "I wanna sweep with you," she said, "I scared." I grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, you'll be fine," I said. She shook her head. "I want Kaywa back!" she said, bursting into tears. I hugged her. "Don't cry Hanna. We're gonna search for her tomorrow. She might even come back tonight," I said. I was trying to reassure her and myself. She continued to cry. "I want her back! I want her wight NOW!" she sobbed. I held her tighter. "It's okay, I'm sure she's fine," I said softly.

Eventually Hanna stopped crying. "I-I wanna sweep with you," she whispered. I gently picked her up. "Alright squirt. Anything to get ya to sleep," I said as I carried her to my room. As soon as I tucked her in, she snuggled close to me. "Ya wanna hear a story?" I asked. She shook her head. "I too sad for stowy," she said with a sniff. I gently kissed her forehead. "It's okay. Ya still have me, and we'll try to find Kayla as soon as we can," I said. Hanna nodded. "Okay. Night Waph," she said. I made sure she was asleep before I carefully took the remains of Kayla's bracelet.

I held it closely to my chest. "I swear, I'm not gonna stop until I find you. If I have to, I'll search the entire planet just for one more day with you," I whispered, "I promise." I stared at the bracelet, and I felt tears prick my eyes. I shook them away. No, I'm not gonna cry, I thought. Then I went through all the good times I've had with Kayla. I remember all those times I've nuzzled her, and held her close. All those times we've joked around with each other. And that moment when I finally had enough courage to kiss her. The tears stung my eyes, but I shook them away again. I recounted a memory of me and Kayla.

FLASHBACK

I felt arms wrap around my neck as I was punching the dummy. "Hey Raph," Kayla said. She was happy today, but I don't know why. "Hey, what's got you so cheerful?" "Oh nothin, I just had an idea that made me smile," she said. I turned around to face her. "Like what?" I asked. She played with her fingers. "Well, I sorta have to do this essay thing.. About someone I think of as a hero..." She was blushing now, and I though it looked cute.

"So, did ya think of a hero yet?" I asked. Kayla's cheeks grew redder. I smirked. "W-well.. Maybe I have one option," she said. I placed one of my arms around her shoulder. "Is it a good friend of yours?" I asked. "Are ya playin twenty questions or somethin?" she asked. I shrugged. "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Who's it gonna be about?" "Donnie," she replied. "W-what, but I thought!" I stammered. She raised an eyebrow. "What?" "Oh um, it's just that.." I began. She playfully punched my arm. "It's about you meathead! I hang out with you more than anyone," she said.

I saw her blush just a shade deeper. "Well, we can work on it in my room if ya want," I said. "Seems cool, I just don't want it to feel like an interview," Kayla said. I shrugged. "Do you have to ask any questions?" "Not really," she replied, "Just who's your hero and why." She sat down and got set to work. I grabbed a comic, but I wasn't reading it. I was busy watching her. She has such pretty eyes, and she was so smart. And then her bangs would flop in her face when she was confused. For some reason, she made my heart flutter.

I heard a low growl and then a snap. I looked up and found her with a broken pencil in her hand. "Man this is hard," she growled. "What is it?" I asked. "I have just one more paragraph, but I can't think of anything," she replied. "Well come up here, I can help," I said. She frowned. "Uh, you're not exactly Donnie. Maybe I should just go see him," Kayla said. "I know, but maybe you could give me a try. Couldn't hurt," I said.

She sighed and sat next to me. "What do ya have to do?" "Well, I have to put how much my hero means to me. Like out bond or somethin," she replied. "Well what exactly do I mean to you? Shouldn't be too hard to figure that out," I said. She tapped her pencil against her chin, and then started writing like crazy. About five minutes later, she sighed in relief, threw her pencil across the room, and flopped down on the bed. "I take it you're done," I said. She pumped her fist in the air. "Yes, finally!" she said. I chuckled and she sat up.

"What's so funny?" she asked. "It's just that you love to write, but you seemed do happy to be done," I said. "That's only because I write what I feel," she said, "And right now, I'm bored." I smirked at that. That usually means she's up for anything. "Well, you can sit up here if ya like," I said, patting the spot next to me. I saw her blush a little as she laid down next to me. I could she was deciding if she should move closer or not, so I made the move. I pulled her closer, wrapping my arms around her.

I guess she was reading my comic with me, since she was actually listening when I showed her parts of it. I was mostly watching her outta the corner of my eye though. At one point she was playin around with the ends of my mask, twirling the ends around her fingers. Then she gently nuzzled my cheek. I could tell she was bored. I looked at her. "Are ya bored?" I asked. "No, I'm not bored," she said. She was cute, I couldn't help but kiss her cheek.

"You're bored. I know you are," I said. Kayla blushed again. "Actually yeah, just a little," she said, nuzzling me again. I nuzzled her back, I don't know why. It just felt right. I could feel her getting a bit warmer, and I could tell she was blushing. "Raph, thanks for helpin me," she said softly. I smiled at her, nearly gettin lost in those beautiful hazel eyes. "It's no problem really. I'd help ya with just about anything," I said. She smiled. "Really?" "Positive," I replied. I gently nuzzled her again.

END FLASHBACK

I felt a lump in my throat as I looked at the bracelet again. Kayla is somewhere out there, and she needs help. And for the first time, I won't be there. The tears started to well up, and this time I let a few tumble down my cheeks. "Kayla, I'm gonna find ya," I whispered, "And I'll make sure whoever took you dies a painful death." The tears were coming faster now, but I tried to keep quiet. I didn't want anyone to see me like this. I gently rubbed my thumb against the broken heart, hopin that we'll find her soon. "I won't stop until I find you... My love," I whispered. I felt another shock of pain, and I couldn't hold back any longer.

I did something I hadn't done in years. I cried. My shoulders shook, and I cried harder. "Kayla, Kayla I miss you!" I sobbed, "I-I can't live without ya!" Hanna started to wake up, but I didn't care. All I wanted was Kayla. "Weo!" Hanna screamed. She ran outta the room, and I kept crying. The door slammed open, and Leo came to my side. "Raph, are you okay?" he asked. I kept crying. Pretty soon everyone was in the room, but I just stayed in that one corner, crying. "Kayla!" I screamed.

Donnie and Leo tried to calm me down, but I couldn't. "Raph, it'll be fine. We're gonna get her back," Donnie said. Without thinking, I stood up, and punched him. "No, nothing is fine! Kayla's gone, and I can't save her. How could you say everything's gonna be okay!" I yelled. Leo grabbed my arm. "I know you miss her, but that's no reason to hit him," he said firmly. I yanked my arm free. "Don't you get it Fearless! I love her, she's the only person that I've ever really opened up to! I love her Leo, LOVE! And now, she's gone!"

They tried to calm me down, but I wouldn't listen. They just don't get it. I made a promise, I thought. I pushed them away from me. "Why are ya tryin to make it seem like everything is okay? Leo, you've never experienced what I've felt. Do you have any idea how I feel knowin that I might never see the person I love again? You have any idea what that does to me?" I asked. He didn't answer. "I didn't think so," I growled.

KAYLA'S POV

I watched as the men stuffed their faces. Floyd looked up. "Aren't you hungry Miss Dolly?" he asked. "How do I know if ya didn't put anything in it," I said. Floyd rolled his eyes. "I didn't put nothin it it. The boss wouldn't want you dead now would he?" he asked. "How should I know," I snapped. I hesitantly picked up my fork. They were all watching now, waiting. I sighed. "Don't ya know it's rude to stare!" I growled. They started stuffing their faces again, and I picked up little of the food. Hmm it looks like macaroni and cheese, I thought. I took a small bite, and waited. Nothing happened, so I guessed it's okay.

In some sick, twisted way this was like havin dinner with a family. After awhile I finished, and started to meditate. "Hey Miss Dolly, whatcha doin?" one of the men asked. I opened one eye. "I'm tryin to meditate. But I can't with all the interruptions," I said. I tried to touch my bracelet to reassure myself, but then realized something horrible. The bracelet was gone, replaced by a scar. I guessed someone must've cut it off during the fight.

I felt tears prick my eyes. Raph... I missed him. I missed everyone, and I wondered what they were doing. I rubbed my wrist, and one of the men cleared his throat. "Hey Miss Dolly, you okay?" he asked. I turned away. "No, I'm probably never gonna be 'okay' again," I said, "I wanna go home." Floyd tapped the bars to get my attention. "Look, I know you wanna go home-" "If you know then you should let me go!" I yelled. He took a step back. "I can't that's the boss' decision to decide," he said.

I growled, and kicked the bars, ignoring the throbbing pain in my foot. I sat down with huff, wrapping my arms around myself. "Are you cold Miss Dolly?" another man asked. "What does it look it to you!" I snapped. Floyd sent the men off to get some blankets, then came over to the cage. "Miss Dolly, why don't you like us?" he asked. My eyes shot daggers at him. "What are ya, some kind of idiot? I don't like you because obviously you kidnapped me, and ya wanna hurt Bradford!" I yelled. I turned away from him. They just don't get it. I'm not a pet! I thought angrily.

The guys came back with like twenty blankets, and Floyd opened the top. Next thing I know, I was practically buried. "Is that better Miss Dolly?" Floyd asked. "Yes, sooo much better," I said sarcastically. I wrapped myself up in the blankets, and tried to think of a way outta here. Alright, that button on the top is my only way out, but I don't have anything long enough to reach it. Maybe I can get Floyd to give me somethin. Then as soon as I get out, they can day hello to my fists! I thought.

I looked around to see if anything would be long enough. There was absolutely nothing in the room, and I sighed. Maybe I should wait until they sleep, then I can escape, I thought. I pretended to yawn. "Hay Floyd, I was gonna sleep for the night," I said. Floyd looked at the men. "Alright boys, I'ma gonna show Miss Dolly where she sleeps. Now make sure she don't try to escape," he said. The two men came to roll my cage away. Let's just hope this works, I thought. I was rolled in front of a door.

Floyd smiled. "See, now ya don't have to stay in that cage anymore. The boss had a room all fixed up for you," he said. He opened the door to reveal a slightly small room with faded green walls, a bed, and a small bedside table. I frowned. "Wow, I've gone from a cage to a cage with a bed. How generous," I muttered. I decided that fighting when he took me outta of the cage would be a bad idea, considering that they would find a way to stop me. Floyd opened the top, and hauled me through. "You ain't fightin, I thought you would," he said.

I rolled my eyes. "There are about thirty of you compared to me. You actually think I'd be dumb enough to try?" I scoffed. He shrugged and tossed me into the room, my blankets following. "Now try not to escape. This place is a maze, and really dark at night," he said. He closed the door, locking it. I sat down on the bed. "Well now I'll never get outta here," I muttered, "Damn Floyd." I gently stroked the spot where my bracelet used to be. "Raph, wherever you are, I hope you and Hanna will do okay with out me," I said softly.

I felt tears well up in my eyes, and a few slipped down my cheeks. "I miss you guys," I whispered. The tears were coming faster now, and I started to cry. I wanted Raph, to feel his warm comforting touch, and see that smirk of his that always seemed to make me blush. "I want to go home!" I screamed. I was sobbing now, tears flowing like a river. I buried my face in the blankets, and cried.

After a little while, I wiped away my tears. "No, I said that if I was ever captured I wouldn't cry, I'd fight," I said, "And that's what I'm gonna do. I'll fight until I get outta here." I started lookin around, maybe I can find something to help me escape, then I'll find out where Bradford is. "Okay, the door locks from the outside, so there might be something INSIDE that I missed," I said. Then I remembered, my powers! I must've forgotten it. I materialized a key to go into the lock, and I turned it.

Thank goodness it clicked! I slowly crept out of the door, and silently slithered down the hallway. Floyd was right when he said this place was like a maze. I went through five different halls, all leading to a dead end. I eventually found a room with plenty of places to hide. "I'll hide in here until I can find a way out," I said quietly. I slowly climed into crevice, and materialized a blanket. "I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they find out 'Miss Dolly' is gone," I snickered to myself, "Then I can get outta here, and find Bradford." I wanted to make sur no one would find me, so I made a barrier that looked like another wall. I can see them, but they can't see me, I thought. I slowly fell asleep in the crevice.
