(Y/N) ran into the woods as fast as she could, jumping over rocks, tree roots, and creeks. She ran and ran until she felt like she was going to pass out. When she got to that point, she stopped and fell to her hands and knees, finally letting the tears fall from her eyes.

'How could they?' she thought as she sobbed, roughly wiping her endless tears. 'I would never do that to Aunt O'Neil or anyone for the matter! They should know that!' She sat back onto her legs and looked up to the night sky. The sky was clear, giving a full view of the shining stars and bright moon. 'Donnie would love this...'

She sharply inhaled when she realized her thought. Even more tears fell from her, now puffy, eyes. She stood up and found a covered area of trees, a place where she couldn't see the sky. (Y/N) sat down against a tree trunk, pulling her legs up to her chest. She wiped at her tears once again, but in doing so, she saw something out of the corner of her eye. She looked to her left to see wild daisies. 'Leo...' She whimpered at the memory, never thinking Leo and Donnie would treat her this way. 'I guess I don't mean as much to them as they mean to me.'

(Y/N) buried her face into her knees and continued to cry.

*At The House*

"Should we go after her?" Donnie asked Leo, his eyebrows furrowed in worry, constantly looking out into the tree line. "I want to, believe me. But I think she needs to be alone for a bit. We pretty much stabbed her in the back with the whole tying her up and making her out to be the enemy." Leo answered, also looking to the tree line.

Donnie sighed, "I know... I'm just worried about her being all alone out there." Leo patted Donnie's shoulder, "I'm sure she'll be fine, (Y/N) knows the forest like the back of her hand." Donnie shook his head, "I'm not worried about her finding her way back, I'm worried about what might be out there with her."

Leo worriedly looked to the tree line again, "W-Well, (Y/N) has been keeping up with training, so I'm sure she can take care of herself." Donnie looked to Leo, "Are you trying to convince me, or yourself?" Leo sighed, his shoulders drooping, "Both."

*Time Skip, With (Y/N)*

(Y/N) had finally calmed down and her eyes were very sore from crying. 'It's late, I should probably get back to the house...' She stood and started to make her way back. Half way there, she heard shouts. 'That sounds like... Mikey?!' She ran in the direction of the noise and peered around a tree to see... 'Aunt O'Neil?'

(Y/N) witness Mrs. O'Neil dodging Mikey's attacks and effortlessly throw him into a tree. 'How was she able to do that?' (Y/N) thought, staying hidden. "What are you?! Really?!" Mikey shouted at the blond woman. Mrs. O'Neil's hand twitched in an grotesque way as she approached Mikey.

As Mrs. O'Neil got close enough to Mikey, she transformed into a monstrous being with multiple tentacles. (Y/N) gasped as Mikey shouted for help, right before the alien-like being absorbed Mikey into itself. (Y/N) quickly covered her mouth and fully hid behind the tree as the monster transformed back into Mrs. O'Neil. 'Mrs. O'Neil' looked around her surroundings before heading back to the house.

'Oh no... The others!' (Y/N) worriedly thought. 'They might have hurt me, but I can't leave them to be taken by that thing! I need to find my kyoketsu-shoge.' When she couldn't hear "Mrs. O'Neil" anymore, she quickly made her way back to the house. (Y/N) stayed hidden in the tree line while observing her surroundings.

She saw April and Casey sitting on the outside swing, talking. (Y/N)'s heart twinged and her eyes watered at seeing the people that hurt her. She then shook her head, 'I can cry and be upset with them later.' Without making a sound, she bolted to the barn. When she entered, she immediately saw her kyoketsu-shoge sitting on a shelf. She grabbed it then saw her throwing knives on the shelf below. 'Those might come in handy.' (Y/N) thought before taking them and safely pocketing them. She then peeked out of the barn to see April and Casey still talking.
