"Infected are gonna smell the blood," Vincent said as she heard the Stalkers and Walkers making their way here. Vv didn't know what to do after seeing 'Rep's' arm missing. All she could do was help comfort him while Osa shifted into a horse and carried im back to the house.

Soon enough they left the area, leaving Kodiak's dead body to be feasted on by the Clickers, Stalkers, and Walkers.

As soon as they made it to the house, Duke and Vincent took Donnie off of Osa's horse back and brought him inside the house, placing him on the couch. Then, Duke quickly retrieved Amber and put her in a room in the hallway so she could rest.

It is nearly impossible for Donnie to relax. He kept squirming and wailing at the sight of his missing hand and saw nothing but muscle fibers, bone, and many puddles of blood.

Vincent stared at the mask on Donnie's face, knowing it was time to remove it. And just when she was about to unstrap it from him Osa came back into the house to help with the emergency. "Guys, what do we do? He's bleeding out!" She shut the door and covered the curtains, turning on a few lanterns.

Vv wiped the sweat off of her forehead and looked at Osa. "Osa, I need your help over here!" She said quickly, taking one of the battery-powered lanterns and setting it by Donnie's head, losing his body. But Osa is staring at 'Rep', terrified of this situation. "Osa! I need you here! Snap out of it!" Vv says coming toward the shifter and shaking her shoulders.

Osa blinked out of her own thoughts and kneeled next to the couch with Vincent. "W-What do I do?" She asked Vincent.

Vv looks at Donnie, biting down on her bottom lip as he shook uncontrollably. She grabbed a blanket from the recliner and used it to soak the blood coming from the damaged arm-- this only made Donnie cry out some more after feeling the pressure. "Hold this and try to stop the bleeding." She said giving the blanket to Osa.

"What are you doing?" Osa asked, watching Vv hover over 'Rep's' face and unbuckle the mask from behind his head.

Vv spoke to Donnie. "Listen to me, Rep. You're strong and you will make it through this." She tells the mutant turtle who still continued to hide. "I don't need to tell you that you may not have another chance. You need to do this now." She said with her voice still shaking from her own adrenaline.

"Another chance to do what?" Osa is frantic, still putting as much pressure as possible on 'Rep's' open wound, squeezing the bone and shredded skin.

She looked into those masked eyes, knowing he is looking at her back while Vv nearly pulled the object away from his face. Rep's blood was absorbing into Vv's clothes and sticking to her skin, dripping onto the floor. Everything seemed to be moving as if it were a movie.

As soon as the mysterious mask was removed from his face, Don gasped when the cold air hit his sweating skin. And then she saw his face after eight long months. Osa didn't want to believe that it was him the whole time. She is looking at his green-scaled face with scars and sweat. "No..."

"Osa. Osa! You can't panic right now!" Vv says to her. "Osa, Listen to me, I need your help. He'll die if you don't!"

Osa nodded with tears in her eyes, still amazed that Donatello is here, alive with her. But he won't be alive very long if she and Vv didn't move fast. While the girls worked to help Donnie stop the bleeding, Duke stripped the mutant of his clothing and used his belt to cut off circulation to Don's arm.

The mutant turtle groaned loudly and went in and out of consciousness, squirming and wiggling as he tried to not move so much. He's dangling by a thread now. "Guys! Come on!"
