Hi everyone! I've decided to combine these two words because they just fit and I love them so yay! The word faithful was requested by blueturtlepower4ever and laceration was requested by NekoShard (sorry I couldn't resist Neko)

ALERT PLEASE READ: Chapter 7 of The Monster is up, some have already read it but there haven't been many reviews so I don't know if everybody who wanted to see it saw it so check it out! Enjoy the chapter!

Word(s) Eight: Faithful/Laceration

Blasts of an unimaginable power darted through the air, hoping to hit one of the four large green targets zipping around the room. The Kraang were in rare form that night and were especially dangerous, guns loaded and firing rapidly at any flash of a blue, purple, red, or orange they saw. It was a heated battle to retrieve Donnie's newest, and mastered, batch of retro-mutagen that the aliens had stolen about a day before.

Cries of "Mikey go low!" And "Raph look our for that plasma sword!" echoed around, bouncing off the walls and hurting the ears of the badly bruised turtles.

"They've upped their weapons! Maybe we should fall back!" Leonardo, the leader of his team, called out though the battle.

"Again?! No way Leo!" Raphael, the hotheaded one, answered angrily.

"It's a tactical retreat, Raph, and right now it would make the most sense! We're getting beaten bloody and I won't die at the hands of the Kraang!"

"Whoah dudes! HELP!" Michelangelo, the youngest and silliest turtle cried for assistance with a couple Kraang bots armed with plasma-nunchaku that were charging at him. Donatello, the smartest of the bunch was also the closest to his younger brother and started charging his way, Bō staff at the ready.

Suddenly, as the purple masked mutant was charging, his phone rang out at an obnoxiously loud volume. All the robot aliens stopped what they were doing and looked at Donnie who stood there awkwardly, trying to avert his two older brother's angry gazes that threatened to pierce him.

"I'll just take this into the hall..." Don chuckled before quickly running away onto the roof.

Once he finally got a chance to glance at his T-Phone's screen, his chocolatey eyes lit up and he forgot about his enemies below him. On the screen was the most beautiful face he'd ever seen in his entire life. She had auburn hair that laid atop her head in autumn waves, pool blue eyes with delicate eyelashes, cute little freckles dotting her cheeks, and a smirk that told you she was a teenager in New York. April O'Neil was the one person he would always talk to, whenever and wherever.

"Hey April!" The boy picked up sweetly.

"Donnie!" Her voice was rushed and panicked. "Come quick!"

"Where are you?!" He cried, his tone taking on worry very quickly.

"My Aunt Leslie's! I'm in my room! It's Karai-" Without warning the line went dead and as soon as April's voice halted, Donatello was running at the speed of light to the familiar address where he spent a lot of his time watching and visiting.

The apartment came into view in the distance and a sound of glass shattering and a loud scream could be heard from the upper level that was April's room. He climbed the fire escape as fast as he could, trying to be soundless so the female Foot ninja wouldn't detect his presence and he could just sneak right up on her. Another scream from his crush shattered the New York air and Donatello decided that right now, stealth was not the answer.

Mindlessly, the rampaging turtle shattered the glass of April's window to hear two shrill screams. He saw two shadows and pounced upon one of them, tackling it to the ground and he hoped it was Karai. A villainous laugh behind him told him that he had tackled April instead and the shuddering figure below him looked up at him with panicked blue eyes that lit up the dark room. The girl panicked at first but once she got a good look at the figure looming above her, she calmed down.

"The purple one?! Why is it always you! Why can't it be Leo for once?!" Karai hissed as she kicked an expensive looking lamp over, Donnie didn't even flinch as it shattered on the floor. He was focused on the villainess in front of him.

"I guess if you want to get to Leo, you have to get through me!" Don hollered as he jumped up and slammed down his staff, Karai quickly dodged to the side.

She attempted to kick him but he did a backflip and knocked her over from behind. The female ninja slid back up and kicked the turtle in his plastron, knocking him backwards into April's cork board, right into a picture of her and Casey together. The picture hurt more than the small dent in his shell so he lunged back at Karai and attempted to stab and pierce her armor with the blade that popped out of his Bō. It hit her chest and she grunted, falling next to a still April who didn't dare move in case the other girl decided to throw a knife at her or something.

After about five more minuets of this battle sequence recurring, Shredder's daughter had a idea that was sure to get Don off his nut. She let him sweep her to the floor, making him think that he had won, and then turned on her side to face a heavily breathing auburn haired girl.

"Hey Donatello!" Karai cried with a weak hint in her voice. "You think you've won?!"

The turtle turned from where he was picking up his recently discarded staff and screamed in horror, not having time to lunge forward, as Karai twirled her blade in her fingers and then almost gracefully dragged it across April's stomach, making a nice clean cut where only a line of blood lay. The victim didn't even scream.

Before Donnie could kill her, as he would do, Karai fled through the shattered window, laughing as she jumped the rooftops. Donatello was sure she was admiring the way the blood looked shining against the moonlight's glare. The genius threw himself on the ground next to April.

"Donnie!" She was breathing heavily, but her voice was as pure as ever.

"April I'm so sorry..." The turtle wept into his large hands.

A light hand brushed his forehead and his chocolatey eyes peeked through the cracks that were made when he parted his fingers. April had a slight smile on her face and a calm, soothing look in her eyes that made the inventor calm down.

"I'll be fine...it's a deep cut, but I don't feel any pain..." She swiped some blood from her chest. "You've fixed me up before. I can also have Abigail look at it...she's a nurse in training."

"I failed you..." Donatello lowered his head.

"Your crazy." April said a little harsher than she meant to. Donnie looked up.

"What..."

"You came here immediately when I called you, when you were in the middle of a intense Kraang battle.

You risked your own life to fight Karai alone and didn't give up no matter how many blows you received. Your amazing, Donnie."

The turtle looked into her eyes and knew she was sincere. Karai had most likely alerted her of the Kraang but this was entirely beside the point the auburn haired girl was trying to make.

"You really mean that?" Don responded weakly.

"Every word." April chuckled slightly, but he could see her wince.

Donatello stood up and began to sweep all the shards of glass and debris into his hands. He dumped them in a small side trash can and them turned to the lacerated girl on the ground.

"Why don't we fix you up?" He smiled.

"That's a good idea." The girl smiled and held out her arms. Donnie blushed as he picked her up.

As he spent the rest of the night treating her cut, like he'd done many times before, he realized how much April's words really meant. He had stayed faithful to her through thick and thin and deep down inside, he knew that it would remain that way forever and forever. As long as he was around, nobody would ever lay a hand on his April again.
