My first chapter story in a while! I know this first chapter is a little short, sorry! Enjoy x
To Be a Human
Donatello had never felt so sick and painful before in his entire life. He felt as if he had been dragged through a tunnel of blades only to be beaten to a pulp at the end.
Weirdest thing was he couldn't remember what had happened.
In fact… where was he now?
He opened his eyes to find himself in a cold room with a steel door, it had a barred window on it.
So… prison? A cell of some sort?
Being a mutant he wasn't all that surprised.
He sat up groggily and shook his head.
''Donatello… Donnie…'' He said carefully. ''That's my name…''
He looked down and suddenly gasped in surprise. He was wearing a pair of raggedy shorts! He had pale legs with five toed feet at the end of them!
He jumped up off the bed and nearly fell over, what the hell was happening?
He saw there was a full body mirror in the corner of the room and he warily wandered over to it, he stopped before he could see himself.
''Oh god… what happened to me… oh dear god…'' He gulped before stepping in front of the mirror.
He gasped and wobbled slightly.
''Oh shit'' He whimpered.
He was human!
He was skinny and pale, his eyes and face shape were the same and he still had a gap in his teeth. He was wearing no shirt and could see he'd lost some of his muscle mass, he still had his scars though and even some new ones.
''How-? I was never human before… who did this?'' He shook his head and backed away, he noticed he looked starved. ''How long have I been here?''
His mind told him that he must have been here for a few months at least, judging by the way he looked that is.
He was scared. No. terrified!
What happened before he was human? Who did this to him? Why couldn't he remember anything?
''WHAT'S GOING ON!?'' He yelled and fell back away from the mirror, he crawled back hurriedly until he hit the wall.
'Donnie?'' Came a voice in his head, he tensed.
'Is that really you man?' Came another voice.
'D? What's going on? Are you ok?' This voice was more childish. Who were these voices?
His tired brain told him voices in his head were the first sign of madness, why does he know that?
He decided if he stayed quiet the voices might leave him alone.
'I don't think he's awake' Came the first voice again, 'He can probably hear us but can't answer, we'll try again tomorrow now that we can contact him'
Then the voices were gone.
Don shuddered and stood up, he grabbed the blanket off the bed and covered his upper half with it.
What was happening to him? Why was he human? Why are there voices in his head!?
He sat in the middle of the room and closed his eyes.
"I used to be a mutant… I don't remember what kind… I was green and strong. I used to fight, what's the word I'm trying to remember? N… It's on the tip of my tongue" Donnie wondered aloud, trying not to panic, "But now I'm human, most dominant species in the world… alone with no memory. It's like I've just been born"
He shuddered and opened his eyes again. He looked around in fear and hunched in on himself more.
"Voices in my head are a bad sign" He muttered as he began to shake.
He suddenly let out a big sigh and buried his head in his hands, tears flowing freely. He just didn't understand what was happening to him.
His head just felt so empty and his heart felt broken, he wanted to go home.
But where is home?
