Falcon's P.O.V

I woke up on the roof, Raph was gone. I yawned, and looked at my wrapped torso. I touched it lightly, and winced. I went to the hidoeut. "Falcon! Where were you?!" Greg shouted. "Now where. I'm going out." I walked out and went to a hill that over looked the city. I sat down and sighed. "Nice view huh?" I turned and saw Raphael standing there, leaning on a tree. "Hey, yeah it is." He walked over, and sat next to me. 

"Falcon, Tell me about yourself." I sighed. "Well, I'm an orphan. my parents died in a fire. I saved a boy last year, and now he's like a brother to me. I am an amazing archer....and...." I looked at the city below us. "Falcon, I...I'm sorry. I know how hard it is to lose some one. I lost someone I cared about in an explosion. She meant the world to me." I put my arm around him.

Raph's P.O.V

I felt tears coming as Falcon and I sat there. I raised my hand to wipe my eyes, but Falcon grabbed my hand. "No, let them fall. It shows, you have a heart." I smiled at her. she was the one person who made me feel...good. I could act normal around her. I gave her a side hug. "Thanks." I said. "For what?" I laughed. "For making me feel good again." Falcon's eyes glimmered. "Happy to help." We sat there for a little while longer, until Falcon stood up, and took my hand. "Come, I wanna show you something." I let her lead me to a clearing in the woods. a single tree stood at the edge of the clearing.

She went to an old log and pulled out a bow, and five arrows. She handed me the arrows. "Watch." She said. Falcon took an arrow, and notched it. She pulled back, and aimed at the tree. She let the arrow fly. It hit smack in the center of the  tree. Falcon smirked and handed me the bow."Your turn." I took the bow, and took aim. "Lower your elbow, step out with your left foot."

She put her hands on mine and pulled back. "Not too much." she whispered in my ear. I let the arrow fly. It went right through her arrow. "Good." We smiled at each other. Falcon's hand went to my shoulder. Then we heard a gunshot. Falcon looked up at the birds that were flying away. "Raph." Falcon's voice cracked with fear. "Get out of here. Run!" I grabbed her shoulder.

"Falcon, what's going on?" she looked me in the eyes. "there is this....guy. He's been trying since last year to kill me and every one I know. Just please go. I'll be fine." She hugged me. I backed up. She smiled slightly. I turned and ran.

Falcon's P.O.V

I watched Raph disappear into the trees.  I hung my head. "Well,well,well. I see The little bird has a crush." I turned and  pointed an arrow at Thorn. He chuckled menacingly. "I will do away with him too." I growled. "Your not gonna hurt Raphael." He laughed and put his arrow tip in a jar of poison. "Your not going to live long, Falcon. Your old friends think you to be dead. The kid you rescued doesn't even know the real you. And.." I shot the arrow.

He moved out of the way, then attacked me. His arm went around my neck, choking me. Thorn put his buck knife to my neck and drew blood. "Oh, your wrong, Falcon. I will kill your little boyfriend in front of your eyes." He sliced the blade along my cheek. "And when he's gone. I will kill you." I fought with the tears that tried to come. Thorn smirked, and pushed me to the ground.

I got up, but Thorn was gone. I walked back to the city. My cheek and neck bled. I went to the hideout. Greg was sleeping, so I lay on my bed, and thought about My friend, Raphael.

-----time skip-------

Its been 3 weeks and I've kept my distance from Raph. I've watched him and his brothers. But I hav'nt talked to him. It hurts not being with him, but I have to.

Raph's P.O.V

Its been weeks since I've seen Falcon. I dont even know if she's alive! I hope she is. I like how I get lost in her eyes. how she bites her lip, The scar above her eye. I still love Alex, but Falcon is the one person who makes me happy. Her icy blue eyes are so easy to get lost in. I walked out to take a breather.

Falcon's P.O.V

I sat on the roof and thought about how much I missed Raph. I sighed, and pulled on my hood. I ran until I saw the turtles on a roof talking. I stood there watching them. then Raph turned and saw me. I smirked and jumped to the street. I ran to an ally and cursed under my breath. "Hey." I slowly turned. "Hey." Raph walked up to me. "Havn't seen you in weeks. I thought...." I touched his arm. "Hey, I'm fine." He looked behind him. "Raph!" I heard his brothers call him. He looked at me. "Go, I'll see you later tonight." Raph nodded. I squeezed his hand. He smiled and ran off. 

Raph's P.O.V

I ran back to my brothers. "what was that?" Leo asked. "Nothing, just thought I saw someone." Mikey smirked. "You sure bro?" I smacked him. "Leave me alone." We went to the lair. later that night,  snuck out and went to the roofs. "Hey, Raph." I turned to Falcon. "hey. So what happened that night. in the woods?" She looked at the ground. "Thorn, a guy sworn to kill me and every one I lov... am friends with. He said....he would kill you right in front of me. I don't want that to happen to you, Raph. I...your my best friend."

I put my hand on her shoulder. "Falcon, Why is he trying to kill you?" Falcon rolled up her sleeve. On her bicep was a tattoo of a falcon with an arrow in its beak. "We trained under the same teacher. We were taught to fight for good. His motto was: Justice, not vengeance. But Thorn was to violent.. And one day, he killed our mentor. We fought, and I left him with a scar along his face. He left me with this." 

she touched the scar over her eye. "He's been hunting me ever since." a tear trickled down her cheek. I wiped it with my thumb. "I don't want you to get hurt." she said quietly. I pulled her into me, and hugged her. "Falcon, I won't let him hurt you." she pulled away. "No Raph. I have to stay away. Its the only way to keep you safe." My heart stopped. "No Falcon! I don't want you to. I....I need you." She touched my cheek. I need you too Raph. That's why I cant see you get hurt." 

Falcon's P.O.V

Tears ran while I spoke. "I'll see you again Raph. I promise."
