Narrator pov
Donnie quickly rushes to his three brothers. He informs Splinter that they are leaving and splinter gently nods and enters his dojo. His shadowy silhouette slowly takes a seat on the floor in a meditation pose.

The masked turtles exit the lair. Donnie and Raph are puzzled by Mikey's sudden giddiness, Leo just smiles to himself knowing damn well why.

Donnie pov.
We finally exit the lair and enter the unusually cold sewers. We walk through the wide open pathways while Mikey practically skips with a smile. What put him in such a good mood?

The sewers stench lingered around us, it always had a musty rust smell. I've gotten used to it though. The dim lit tunnels almost seemed eerie, I clutch my arms below my shoulders.
Why is it particularly cold today? Is no one else feeling this?

Leo glances at me, I guess he noticed my weariness.

"You ok Don?" Leo slowed his pace, visibly curious.

Y-yeah i-it's just a l-little colder today. I said, waving my hands reassuring the eldest brother.

"Really? Is it? I can't really feel anything. Raph?" Leo asked the hothead.

"Nah. It's a little colder than usual but it's not THAT cold. Come on Don toughen up." Raph snickers.

I sighed under my breath and roll my eyes, he always takes the chance to make fun of me. Mikey was too busy in his little world to engage in the conversation. I didn't mind though, Mikey was always like that.

suddenly I feel an intense chill behind my back like someone was...

The chill runs all the way up my back to my neck. I quickly turn my head, nothing was there but the small shadows of rats scurrying by. I squint my eyes, "I could've sworn I saw something bigger than a rat." I whisper out loud.

"Donnie?" Leo calls, poking my shell with the tip of his finger. This touch makes me jolt slightly as Leo continues, an eye ridge higher than the other. "Are you sure you're alright?"

I quickly turn back at him. Raph stood a few steps away from him, hands crossed, with the same confused expression painted on his face, but more judger, I guess.
"It's ok if you need to go back home if you're not feeling well, Don."
"No, Don't worry about it Leo, it's nothing, I'll be fine." I gave a reassuring smile.

Leo looked at me for a while then took his attention away from me and towards the golliful Mikey. A smile slowly creeping up his face. I guess seeing Mikey happy made him happy. He's so easy to read. As long as he's done mothering me. But I have one question that's now bothering me.

What is this lingering feeling I have in my chest? Like we're being watched.

Soon enough we finally reach a manhole cover. We quickly helped each other up and entered the warm night of  Brooklyn, New York. The warm air from the dark alley felt so good on my cold  skin. I can feel the rays of mikey's excitement as he eagerly climbed the ladder up to the roof of the building.

"Hey! Watch it Mikey!" Raph said, as Mikey shoved him.

"I'll wipe that smile right off your face if you do that again!" Raph roared.

Mikey didn't acknowledge Raph's insult even a bit. While I climbed up the ladder I finally found out the reason why Mikey was so happy. Mikey stood on the roof of the building and hands on his hips in a kind of heroic pose.

"Ugh. What is he doing now?" Raph groaned to himself.

"Guess who's gonna be the 'follow the leader' leader today!" Mikey stood, his hands still on his hips. Raph raised an eyebrow, slightly leaning on my shoulder as I gave him a certain look.

"I'll give you a hint, it starts with a M" Mikey smiled wide.

Raph groaned.

"OK OK I'll tell you I know you're dying to know. It's me! MIKEL-ANGEL-O!!"

Mikey says with an inflection on his L’s

Raph facepalms. lifting off my shoulder suddenly, he causes me to lose my balance for a second. "Really Leo?!"

Leo rubes his neck pretending not to hear the hot head. It was too obvious to me.

Raph groans louder. "It's going to be impossible to follow him!" Raph Points.

"That's the point Raph." Leo puts his hand on Raph's shoulder. "Do you expect The Foot or the Kraang to be easy to chase? With Mikey's speed and agility, this will be great training. " He says, raising a fist chest proudly with a smile.

Raph scoffs, shrugging Leo's hand off him. I quickly notice Mikey's disappearance, typical Mikey.

"Uh guys...he's gone." I say while pointing where he used to be.

"SEE YA, NEVER WANNA BE YA" Mikey’s voice echoes from a far distance.

Raph groans to himself once again while he begins to catch up to his orange masked brother. Leo soon follows suit. I was gonna begin running as well but...

I got that uneasy feeling again.

Like someones watching me... I tense up, trying to feel whoever was behind me.

"Hello?" I say in a partially loud voice. No one responds, I lower my guard and shrug it off. I soon begin running to catch up to Mikey and the others.

What's up with me today? It can't just be me...right?
