SHY AS SHELL Part 6

I heard loud crashes and yells from the living room. Suddenly the dojo doors opened and ninjas in purple ran into the room with swords drawn. “Where is she!?” One said and the other motioned for him to look in the nearby rooms. I stayed still and my heart was going a mile a minute. The brothers were fighting with all they had, and the battle was hard. There were foot ninjas everywhere and the brothers were frantically trying to win. Suddenly a loud explosion threw everyone into the air and pieces of the sewer walls crashed into the living room. “Retreat!” The voice of Karai boomed across the lair and the foot ninjas made there way out of the lair quickly. “They’re bailing!” Mikey yelled while trying to get up, but a sharp pain prevented him from doing so. Donatello was unconscious, Raphael and Leo were nowhere to be seen.

I stood from my hiding spot and ran to the living room and found it in disarray.  “Oh my god! Guys! Are you okay?” I yelled in panicked voice. “Angelcakes! Donnie is unconcious. Leo and Raph are well..I don’t know.” Mikey said while wincing in pain. I ran over to him and helped him stand. “Can you help me with Donnie?” I asked and he nodded.  We carried Donnie to the lab and sat him on the metal table. “_____! Mikey!” “We’re in here guys!” Mikey responded to the yells of Leo. He walked into the room and Raph was not far behind him. “Thank god you guys are okay.” I said with a relieved sigh. “Yeah, what happened to Donnie?” Raph asked. “He’s out. I think his head got hit by rock.” Mikey said while looking at Donnie’s head for injuries. “Boys!” The voice of Master Splinter reached the lab. “We’re in the lab dad!” Leo yelled and not long after Master Splinter entered the room with a slightly bloody face. “They attacked me when I was walking back to the lair. I didn’t have time to get away to warn you.” He said while sitting in a chair near Donnie. “April called. We are going to go there for the night.” Leo said and everyone nodded. “We’ll take the long path to the surface, just in case the foot ninjas are still out there. “ Leo said while looking at me. “Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” I said while grabbing the med kit and some extra supplies. We made it to April’s and saw the window smashed in. “What the shell happened here?” Mikey said in a whisper.  We went inside and saw April on the floor on her stomach and a pool of blood around her. “Oh no...” I said while running over and turning her over. Her eyes were open wide and her mouth slightly opened. “April!” I shook her and she gasped and grabbed my arm. “She’s alive!” Raph walked over and gently picked her up. “We have to take her to the hospital.” I said and the guys looked unsure. “We can’t just walk in. You would have to go with her, and how would you explain this?” Leo asked and I thought for a moment. “Robbery! I could say it was a break in and she was attacked. Believable?” I asked and they all shook their heads yes. “Let’s go!”

Awhile later we arrived at the hospital and I quickly grabbed a wheelchair and helped April sit. “Remember, you came home and caught robbers and you were attacked.” She nodded and we walked in. Not long after I went in with April I was sent away so they could sew up her injuries. I looked around for the guys and saw a nearby manhole cover slightly raised. “____!” The whispered voice of Leo guided me over. I looked around making sure the coast was clear and climbed down. “How’s April?” Leo asked. “She’s okay. They’re going to patch her up and keep her for a couple days. I think she was just shocked at what happened. Hopefully she remembers the story we made up.” I said while looking at each of the brothers mentally noting their injuries. “You guys need to get patched up.” I said and Leo smiled a little. “The lair is clear for now so we can go back and get Donnie properly patched up. You took the supplies with you.”  He said and I gasped. “Oh my gosh. Sorry, I forgot I had the bag.” I said while slapping a hand to my forehead. “It’s okay. Let’s head back.” Leo said while wrapping an arm around my shoulder and we all walked in the direction of the lair.
