Part 14
I lost my hope of being free. It was my fault, I told the Shapers to save me, but as they said they are not god. I went down into tears, they have broke me. Terror grabbed my arm, "Now it's time to go to hell."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" I yelled pulling my arm back. "I wont go!"
"You have no choice, you died wearing the blades... you're ours!" He smiled at me, the evil in his eyes. Than I felt another force pulling me away from them. He gripped my arm tighter... and than Killer also grabbed me. I felt myself being pulled the other way. I wanted to go the other way, but I couldn't. I fought to get out of their hands, but they were holding me. I felt a deep pain though me.
"Pain! After Death?!"
"Of course, you're going to hell, you think you wouldn't have pain!" I pulled back again.. I couldn't stand the thought that I was dead. I felt the pull, I tried going back again... but that pull was not strong enough, Killer was pulling my arm. I have to go... I have to follow this pull. I looked at my body below... This time I saw Raph, Don, Ninjara and Master Splinter standing around it. I felt so ill, I just wanted to run over and hug Master Splinter! I felt another pain go down my shell. I want to go home. Terror started laughing... "Look at your family, all around your dead body, and it's your fault, you let yourself die. The others warned you! But did you listen to them! No you wanted free! Your freedom cost you your life."
"No!!!!!!!!!!! I can't be dead! I have a life! I want to go back to it! I hate you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I pulled away from their arms and went towards the pull that was pulling on me.. I'm going home... I'm getting away. Than I felt Terror grab my leg and pull me back towards the fire. I have to get out of his hands... I can't go that way... I looked at Master Splinter... he was alive, he was at my body.. could he save me. No he wasn't trying, he was standing there, with tears in his eyes. Is it too late for me. Oh there's the Shapers over there, standing behind my brothers... why aren't they trying to save me... I want to go home! I don't want to be here. I looked back to see Killer and Terror holding me... I don't want to go with them!
Terror held onto me.... I couldn't get out of his hands. I tried and tried. I saw Master Splinter standing over me, he was saying something to my brothers. Donatello broke down into tears... I could hear Don's cry..."First Mikey... Now LEO! NO!" Mikey is dead? Is it true? Oh NO! It's my fault! If I never got caught by the W's none of this have ever happened to me. I looked at Donatello fall into Master Splinter's hands.. his eyes filled with tears... Ninjara hugged Raphael..
"Think of how we were treating him Raph." Ninjara said. I want to go to them, tell them it's ok, and that I under stood why they acted like this.
Than the pull got stronger. I felt myself get pulled out of Terror's hands... he came right at me.... he got in front of the pull and started pushing me the other way. "No I want to go with the pull!!!!"
"But you wont, because you're ours now! You're not going anywhere, but Hell!" I tried to get passed him, than I felt Killer grab me from behind.
"Leonardo give up, you were ours in the first place, as soon as you became first in command you became ours all the way, even if you get away, you will always be a W. I own your life, you can't get away. And you'll never lose those blades... so you can run your full life, but I will get you." I looked at him, now I felt the fear of him, and I just wanted to run. He was the devil... he was so evil, but NO! He's not the devil, he's the devil's pet. He's just a pet, but that's what we're looked at as, or is it. Could we get human rights if we ever tried. Why are all these thoughts going through me.... I want out of here!!!! I needed something to fill my head with, to get the fear out of my head.
I broke free again.. this time I went with the pull. I heard in the back ground Terror and Killer yelling...
"We will have you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I woke up. Peter was over me. I looked at him, than looked around, Master Splinter and the others were not here.
"Well?" I asked. Hoping for good news.
"I'm sorry, we didn't get all of them out, but we felt as if we were going to lose you. We can try again later to put you under, but it will have to be a few hours later. Let's just hope that Mikey can act like you good enough for you to stay long enough. We got most of them, it should only take one more time." Peter helped me up, and walked me up the stairs to a bed room. "Lye in here... You'll be ok."
"Thank You." I said with a smile. I knew what I wanted to do, as soon as I was free I wanted to go home. I wanted to run to Master Splinter and tell him I didn't have to leave. It wasn't long before Mark walked in the room with some pizza.
"Here have something to eat." He said, than sat down not to far from me. "You must of been having a bad dream while going through that. We lost you for a second, you were dead, but we were able to bring you back." I felt a cold feeling go through me, the thought of being dead. Was hell really pulling me there... was Terror and Killer really there.
"I saw something Mark.. I think they know I'm gone."
"Why do you say that?"
"Because while I was down, Killer and Terror was there. They were pulling me towards hell, fighting the pull that brought me back. They said I'll be theirs forever as long as I wear these blades."
"I'm sorry we can't help you with the blades. I wish we could." Mark walked over and looked at my arm. "Only the person.. or mutant that you care the most for can help you now." I only wished I was near Master Splinter, he had to be the one I cared for the most.
"How would I be able to tell who it is?"
"When you can't hurt the person, it will be the person you care for. Remember though, they can't just remove it, there's a place and time for it to be removed... but we never know where and when... only the W's know that." I looked down. That was just more bad news for me. Mark got up and left me. I went to sleep for a few hours. I could fell that they did cut me open in an area, but what did they do to remove these things... I had no idea. Peter walked in the room.
"Hey Leo, it's time for your second round. We have to get you under, and we should be able to save you." Peter walked over and helped me to my feet. "Mark tells me, you think the W's know you're trying to get away."
"Yes, it was as if they were pulling me to hell."
"Than we better hope they don't cause the pain, the next time you're under." Once we got downstairs I lyed back down on the table. Peter looked at me. "You'll be ok." Than he gave me the shot. Next thing I knew I was back where I was before... looking at my body.
"Do you think those Shapers could really save you?" Terror said from behind me. I looked at him, this time I didn't since danger.
"I hope so I said." I looked back down at my body. "Aren't you going to try taking me to hell?"
"No, not while my dad's not here." I looked at him, surprised. I never heard him ever do anything nice.
"What? You're going to let me go?" I was shocked, this had to be a dream. I wasn't dead now, and I knew it. I watched my body down below, but no one was around it this time, it was lonely. Just than flames came up around me, Terror's eyes went from the non-danger look to pure evil. Than I saw Killer behind him.
"What happened?"
"You didn't live it, they couldn't get all of our stuff out in time. You knew we knew what you were up too, and you went on with it anyhow.. you fool." Terror said. He did change within the last minute. I got up and backed away, I wanted to run. I didn't feel the pull that I felt before. I wasn't being brought back. What's going on? Am I really gone? I backed away from Killer and Terror, they seemed more evil than I've ever seen them. They were coming to take me. I ran, but no matter how fast I ran they were right behind me.
"Leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Never Leonardo!!!! You are ours!!!!!" I ran faster than I've ever ran before. I kept looking back, to see them right behind me. I couldn't get away, but at the sometime it was like I wasn't running, for I still saw my body all alone. Than I saw some flames coming up around my body.
"NOOOO!!!!" If they take my body, will I be able to get away. This was wrong... they were getting me, this isn't suppose to happen. I went down to my body and tried to move it, but it wouldn't move. It was cold as ice. I looked around me than I heard.
"Leo. You let us Down! It's your fault Mikey died! You were the one to get caught by the W's!" I turned around to see Raphael standing there, looking at my body not me.
"Raph! Raph! You got to help me! Please!!!" I said, but Raph didn't hear me.
"Awe isn't this so touching." I looked over, Terror was right on my back. "Your brother, blaming you for everything. Now, is that the kind of family you want." Terror put his hand on my back, I turned around and hit him to the ground. I looked back at Raph. That couldn't be Raph... he doesn't know where I am... what is this? Than I felt a fast hard pull.
I opened my eyes to see Peter over me.
"I think we got him! Oh, wait we're losing him again... hurry up... get my....." I slipped out of it again Terror was right off to my side.
"You wont be going back there!" Terror came towards me, I backed away than looked at my body... it worth a try. I jumped into the body. I opened my eyes.
"We got him! He's going to be ok, just lets get him upstairs so he can rest." Mark and Kevin picked me up, as Peter opened the doors around to get me to the room I was sleeping in. I fell asleep as soon as they set me down.
The next time I opened my eyes. I looked around, seeing Mikey sitting in the room across the hall. I sat up in my bed, I had a major headache. I crawled out of bed and got to my feet. Walking into the next room, I saw he was talking to Mark. Mark looked up at me and ran over. He seemed happy to see me.
"What are you doing out of bed?" He said, "Oh man am I glad to see you up!" He walked me back to my bed. Mikey watched. I looked at Mark as he got me lying down.
"How long have I been out?"
"You've been out for two weeks, Peter said you could be out for four weeks and if you weren't up by then, than we would lose you all the way."
"Am I clean, free of the W's?"
"Yes! We were able to finish getting the chips out of you, but we almost lost you all the way.. we got you back for a second, but the next second you were gone again. I was shocked to see how fast you came back to us." I smiled at Mark, I was free, that's all that mattered, but I was still tired, how could I be so sleepy after two weeks of sleep. " You get some rest Leo."
"Can I have something to eat first? I'm very hungry." Mark got up and looked at Mikey
"Go get Leo something to eat. Leo, I want you to take it easy. Once you can get on your feet, without any trouble, we'll get you back to your brothers." Mark walked out of the room. It was just a few minutes before Mikey came back with some soup, Peter was right behind him.
"I wanted to get you a pizza, like it says in the cartoon that you dudes love pizza, but Peter told me I had to get you some soup. So here it is." Mikey smile, but Peter didn't seem to happy with that joke.
"How ya feeling Leo?" Peter asked sitting down next to me.
"I'm tired and hungry." I said as I took the soup. After I finished eatting I was ready to talk to Peter. "Mark told me I'm free... is that so?"
"Yes, the only thing left to remind you of the W's is the blades on your arms." Peter walked over and picked up my arm, looking at it. "We're trying to find out how to remove the blades, but still we can't find out."
"It's Ok Peter. You guys have done enough for me. I could never Thank you guys enough." Mikey smiled in the back ground, with how big his smile was, it seemed as if he smiled for both of them.
"Get some rest Leonardo. For when you wake up in the morning we'll get you back to New York to see your brothers." Peter said getting up and walking out of the room.
"Thank You Peter. Thank you very much." I said, and Peter was out the door. Mikey went to follow him. "Wait! Mikey, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, but didn't you just ask me a question?" Mikey smiled, he remind me so much of Mikey. Could I ever tell him that I met him before. I smile back at Mikey, and sat up a little.
"Does Peter ever smile?" Mikey looked at me and went quiet for a second, another thing that remind me of Mikey. He didn't want to talk, if it wouldn't have anything to have fun with, for to talk like that just brings more bad upon the world.
"I can answer that." Kevin said as he walked in the room. "Peter went to himself years ago. I blame humans, but Mark has his own Story."
"Can you tell me about it?" I asked, I was in the mood to hear a good story, it would help me go to sleep.
"Sure. From what I know, you know about us coming here. You see, when we got here, Peter was sad, but not this sad, for he just watched our planet get destoried, than watching Jim die. Peter took that hard, but didn't let that take him down. It hurt him when he found out we had to hide on this world, and it hurt him worse when he did start careing about ppl they died. Peter just got real depressed, and to a Shaper depression can kill. So that's the problem, why Peter doesn't smile... he's too depress meaning he's sick."
"Why do you blame humans?"
"Think about how much easier things would be on us, if we didn't have the Government out to kill us, or have people get over scared of us if we do anything like Shape. Human's treat us like dirt after all we've ever done for them." I looked down, knowing Kevin's feeling in away, but Kevin had it better than we did, for the reason that he can at least shape to look human, who would want to shape to look like a Turtle?
Kevin and Mikey got up, leaving for the night. The thought of going home went through my head. I couldn't wait, now I could tell the full story of what happened, say hi to Ninjara and see what's she doing back with us. Oh how much better my life will be after this one night. Nothing could go wrong. As long as the others believe me, which was a fear I didn't want to face.
