True Love

~Chapter 2~

Annie

Donnie's POV

We finally get back to the lair, and the girl stays in my mind. I don't know why, though.

April comes in to see us. "What took you four so long?"

Since I can't answer, Mikey does. "We kinda ran into some creepy Kraang-Droids on our night patrol. We rescued a girl from them."

At this, April's eyes widen. "What girl? Tell me!"

"We saved a girl from the Kraang," I say. "We escaped as soon as we could, though. Why?"

April sighs. "When I was a kid, I had a sister. Her name was Ann Elizabeth, but everyone called her Annie. We were very close. But a terrible event happened-and I don't want to talk about it-and separated us. I escaped with my dad, and our mom was killed. Annie couldn't be found."

I see slight tears form in her eyes. Poor April.

"She was only four, and I was five," she continues. "After almost two months of searching, we gave up. Everyone thought she was dead. But I have a feeling that she's alive. She might have been the girl you guys ran into tonight."

"April," Leo speaks up. "We're all sorry about your sister, but we can't know for sure if it was her. The girl's long gone, by now."

April glares at him. "You have to! You have to go look for her! I can't lose my sister again!" When no one answers, she stands up from where she was sitting on the couch. "Fine. If no one will go, I will. I'll find Annie with or without your help." She heads to the exit, but I stop her.

"You can't go out there in the middle of the night!" I protest. "It probably wasn't your sister out there, though. And going out there is very dangerous, especially at this time of night."

"I know it was Annie!" April presses. "Oh, and standing between me and my sister is very dangerous for you." She crosses her arms and glares at me.

I sigh. I don't have a choice. I move to the side and she exits.

"I'm surprised you let your girlfriend go that easily," Raph says.

"She's not my girlfriend!" I protest. But deep down, I wish she was.
