Chapter 1: April's POV.

*Dream*

Mettle is Pounding behind me as I'm darting past tree's of different colors. "Casey!" I yell. My legs are aching from my previous battle, blood is gushing from my wounds. Everything is swerrling in a green and brown vortex. "The one called April is approaching , Krang alert Krang that Krang is coming with the one called April." "Not you too!" The soft mud doubles over my shoes as I stand in place surrounded by creaters...

*Dream*

"April, April!" I hear the snap of fingers.

"Is she dead?"A green bler asks worridly. "Oww!"

"No you moron! She is just in a-" he pauses like he's searching for the right words to say. "...sleeping, I think." New voice comes into the conversation.

"I think she's sick."

"No!? Really?!" Says yet, another new voice with sarcasm. I feel cold Mettle go underneath my tongue , hot sweat falls from my head.

"She has a high fever of '104.6'."

"Is that bad?" Squeaks a voice.

"Yes Mikey, that is very bad."

The now warm mettle piece escapes my mouth.

"April's shivering, Leo get me some wool blankets!"

I close my eyes completely, to then all I see is black, and I hear nothing but the slow hum of machines.

*Dream*

I'm trying to lift my foot, but I can not move. It is like time is stopping

(only for me). The mud is up is up to my knees and theirs a chilling point on the back of my neck. I look at my surrounding 'trying' to be observent. The trees morf in color, many eyed giants. One of the Krang bots are holding what looks like of of those shot things they use to take blood, it turns towards me.

"Fine, Krang will take blood to Krang who is known as blood of April O'Niel."

The mettle point twists causing the warm stickyness of blood to dribble down the back of my neck, and behind my yellow shirt causing it to stain.

A needle pricking chill shoots through my spine as a deep, raspy, yet (God forbid) Intelligent voice spoke,

"As long I get her I'm fine, I will use her to get to

Homato Yoshi and the turtles."

"Krang says that only you bring the ones called the turtles to Krang; we get

April O'Neil to Krang as well, Krang tell Krang that this is a reminder to Krang."

The sound of exasperation comes from the man behind me. Then out of the shadows a caped figure comes strolling toward me.

"Father, let me take and let me plain our revenge against the turtles."

I reconize her voice, it's Karai! That means... Shredder. I inhale quickly attempting to break down what I had just is this possible, Leo told me that Karai is still that snake women, how can she be normal? The mud is now chest deep. Shredders blade meracuasly elivates off my collar as two of Krang Primes men lifted me out of the more or less deadly sinkhole of silt.

*Dream*

I squint as a bright light comes from above me. I shiver trying not to move from my location in the bed to stay warm. I turn my head, only to see bright blue eyes and a cheerful grin.

"Gaaa!" I shriek, in reply I hear laughter and see a green finger pointing at me; Leo runs into the room.

"Mikey what happened!"

Making an effort to get himself under composer, (tho with no luck) with short bits of laughter in his speech replying, "...she...just..." he tumbles out onto the floor now in tears.

"Ow!" Mikey howls "What was that for!?"

"For being an Idiot, that's what." Raph mumbles just low enough so you could hear.

"Are you ok my child?" I spiral and see a concerned pair of hazelnut eyes.

"Yes sensei, I am."

"Come let us have some tea"

I slide on my shoes and stroll out of Donnie and Leo's room. Seance we've been in New York, we have been staying in Antonio's Pizza Place as a temporary home.

Mikey skipping behind singing "Icecream kitty, Icecream kitty." Over, and over, and over ... and over

"Master Splinter-"

"Yes Michelangelo?"

"When will we be back home?"

Mikey gazes up at Splinter with hopefull eyes.

"Michelangelo , you out of all the turtles should know this my child"

Mikey gives him a puzzing look.

"How?"

"My son a house is just made out of boards and beams-" he points to the scrap boards barricaded on the windows. "-and a home Michelangelo is made out of love and dreams." His tone is serious yet soothing. The tea hisses apon the stove, Raph snatches two tea cups out of the box he collected a few days before. He starts to pour the green tea into a cup and hands me one.

"Thanks Raph." I remark nonchalantly, he gives me a growl from underneath his breath. "Well excuse me, Mr. Grumpyness." I add drinking my cup of tea.

"Sensi?" I ask questionably "How long was I in bed?"

"Shi days." I spit out my tea, I can feel my face getting hot "Four days!"

"Good, you know your numbers." He says taking another sip of tea.

"Are you serious!?"

"No." I give him a stumped look. "Only two."

I stare, giving him a perturbed look, he only chuckles.

"My child , shall we continue your training?"

My eyes drift towards the boys. Raph's reading his Transformers comic book, Mikey is ... wait, what is he doing? I squint to get a better view. Wow, peeling stickers off an arubix cube, classic, just classic Mikey. I shake my head. Donnie's on his laptop (how not surprising), and Leo, he's maybe not even a foot away from the TV screen watching 'Space Heros'. My foot shifts to a different position and I turn back to Master Splinter. I smirk.

"Hai Sensei."
