{Donnie' p.o.v.}
We searched all night, but we didn't catch sight of her again. I'm so worried about her, all of us are. When we got back to the lair after a long night, we told Master Splinter what happened. He didn't say anything, he just went to his room without a word...
We were all worn out and went to our rooms as well. It was quiet again in the lair, it's never been this quiet before, it's...depressing.
I flopped face down on my bed, not bothering to take my mask or paddings off. I'm tired, but I can't sleep.
When Sonny climbed up on the building, she looked, different. Her fur was spiked and her pupils were slits again. For a minute, she looked almost...ferile. Then, she had a panic attack! She thinks of herself as a monster, she thinks she has to be alone. I know for a fact that she hates being alone, she told me herself.
Where is she now though? In this state of mind that she's in, she might do something bad! What can I do to stop her? What can I do to show her how much she means to me, that she has a family here?
*sigh* I can't even think right now, I'm too....exhausted.....
{Sonny's p.o.v.}
I jolt wake to the sound of sirens blaring. I look out to the street just as an ambulance rushes past. The sound soon fades into the distance as I take in my surroundings.
I'm still behind the dumpster, it's daytime but the ally is still dark as night.
I struggle to a standing position, my joints ache from sleeping on the hard and unforgiving concrete. I wince when I put weight on my right paw, I had almost frogotten I had sprained it.
I get down on all fours and walk deeper into the shadows, getting as far away from the street as I can. I reach a dead end. I look around and spot a fire escape leading up to the roof. I reached up and hauled myself up the ladder. It took longer than it should have.
By the time I reached the top, I was exhausted.
Panting, I crawled over to the corner of the roof and curled up in a ball, careful not to lay on my sprained paw. I was just about to fall asleep, when my stomach growled in hunger. I groaned in response and got back up. The sun had risen above the buildings and was blinding me as I limped to the other side of the roof. I stopped at the edge and looked down into the dark ally.
The next building was a resturant so maybe the trash cans would have some left over food.
I waited on the roof, looking down at the side door. Finally, someone came out with a bag of trash and threw it in the silver can. Once he was inside, I climbed down and sliced open the trash bag. I clawed through the trash to find anything edible. I scrounged up some bits and pieces that were only slightly expired. It tasted really bad but I was glad to have something in my stomach.
My ears perked up at the sound of the doorknob clicking.
I dashed into the shadows and crouched low just as the same human came out with another bag of trash. He was about to throw it away, when he saw the open trash bag. He looked around and I was so scared that he would see me, but he just shrugged and tossed the bag and went back inside.
I let out a breath of relief and climbed up to the roof. It's not safe to stay here, I could be easily spotted.
I started limping across the roof tops and jumped over allies. I stopped every once in a while to rest my paws, it seemed as though I had been walking for days instead of hours.
Eventually, I spotted CentralPark.
The sun was just starting to set as I stealthily made it into the trees. I could still hear the loud sounds of the city, but it felt good to feel bark under my paws instead of concrete.
I carefully jumped from tree to tree, staying hidden in the leaves high up in the trees so people down below wouldn't see me.
I grew tired and weak and decided to rest until night time.
I climbed up a large oak tree and nestled in it's branches. From where I was, I could faintly hear people playing music. I soon fell asleep focusing on the tune instead of the growling of my stomach and the stinging pain in my paws.
