"Lets do some testing" Karai slammed the red button on the work station in front of her, fear rushed through me as the mutagen began spilling down towards Jess.

"NOO! JESS!" I screamed. My heart plummeted as I saw the girl I had grown feelings for had sacrificed herself to save me. I heard my brothers scream and charge at Karai, despite their injuries.

I scrambled over to Jess' limp form. The mutagen had been absorbed into her skin and her eyes were faltering between closed and barely open.

"no no no no no please be okay." I whispered. I pulled her head into my lap and moved a stay piece of hair our of her eyes. I looked over at the guys who were taking care of Karai. They were just as sad, angry, and downright pissed as I was about this. Karai was the only one left in the room, all the foot soldiers has been either knocked out, seriously hurt or left. Looking back at Jess, a tear slid down my cheek. I had finally admitted to myself after a month of internal conflicts that I liked her, that I really liked her.

"you're gonna be okay.. you gotta be okay.." Her eyes opened slightly, before closing again.

"Wha.. whats happening..?" She barely managed to string together the words

"Everything's gonna be okay" Eventhough I know it's going to be the exact opposite.

"Leo! Come on we gotta move!" Raph came running up behind me.

"The mutagen hasn't take effect yet! I still might have time to mix up a retro mutagen!" Donnie joined Raph, then Mikey soon after. Mikey had gotten Karai tangled up in his kusarigama chain and had her dangling off a rafter in the roof. The guys jumped up to the hole in the roof we entered in and were waiting for me

I slid one arm under Jess' shoulders, supporting her neck and the other under her knees, picking her up bridal style, she weakly managed to hook her arms around my neck. I stood and with one last look around the room, I jumped up and joined my brothers. We climbed out of the small hole and onto the roof. We ran faster than we ever had before to the shell raiser parked 3 blocks down.

Once we got to the shell raiser after what seemed like and eternity, Raph took my station at the wheel and Mikey was giving him directions. Donnie and I sat in the back with Jess, well, I sat with her. Donnie was trying desperately to mix something in a beaker, but Raph's driving was making it difficult.

I had Jess' head in my lap once again, her face was pale and she was covered in sweat. Her brown hair lined her face, running all the way to just above her hips, still dead straight.

What I wouldn't do to see her eyes stay open, to see those beautiful warm chocolate brown and glowing blue eyes of hers again.

In the few short weeks she's lived with us, she's begun training with us and is already at our level, I helped her set up her room (which looks awesome by the way), she's become like a sister to Raph, Donnie and especially Mikey, but she's become like a best friend to me. She's become the best friend I've always wanted. We train together, spar together, watch Tv together and do a lot of other things together. Another tear rolled down my cheek as I remembered all the fun we had and were gonna have.
