Thank you so much for the reviews :3 You're gonna find out who is missing soon enough.. Maybe :3
I don't even know how i'm able to update so quick. I guess i just don't have anything else to do, and besides, this is too much fun to write :D
The doctors had decided, that the turtle was no longer in need in theirs lab. So they sold it away, to another company, who examined rare animals. This turtle was indeed something special, and they got a really nice pile of cash from it. Dr. Barrow was really glad that they sold the mutant. There was nothing they could do to it anymore, and it acted like it's not gonna last very much longer. It was just better to trade it to money, than kill it in here. They handled the operation with one large cage, where the mutant lied. It didn't protest, or fought back. It just laid there, which made Barrow a bit suspicious. Did they go too far with it? He didn't think so. However, the deal was made already, and the turtle didn't belong to them anymore.
They removed his previous electric collar, and put new one on to it's place. He didn't protest, and just sat there. He didn't know where they would take him. It's not like it was bad enough at here. Now he would be tortured by some new psychos.
"The mutant is ready", one of the mans informated. Man of the another company nodded clearly very happy.
"Good. Then we'll get going"
Dr. Barrow looked, as the truck disappeared to the distance. Was it mistake to sell so incredible rare creature. He didn't know, but too late to worry about that now. They tried everything to get know this animal's secrets, but no luck. Maybe these humans would work better than they did. However, it was the results that mattered. This creature could be one of the kind. And they got so much money from selling it, that they could continue by examing other animals.
Road trip was extremely painful for him. When ever the truck bounced, he jumped with it. And all his injuried made the landing very painful. He didn't even know to who he was sold to. But it really didn't interest him that much. The main thing was, that if they would kill him quickly, he would like them. Quick death was all he asked for right now. Everything hurted, and he felt like betrayed.
His family.. he missed them so much. But there was one thing, that had made him suspicious.
*Flashback*
He laid there, on the floor of the completely dark room. His body ached. All of this fighting felt like waste. Why is he still alive? Why don't they just kill him? Why..? The collar squeezed his neck, and made it hard to breath. And if he tried to struggle against it, he would get shocked. Literally. This place was worse than hell. He couldn't even fight back the pain they made him go through. Enduring had become impossible, since this all was simply too much to handle.
He felt hot tears at the corner of his eyes, but wiped them away as fast as possible. He wouldn't start crying. He wasn't coward. But his family was. Thay didn't even try to rescue him, even if they knew how much pain he was forced to go through. It all made him just so desperate. Why would they just leave him. He thought that they cared about him. He just wanted back to them. He wanted to joke with his brothers, hang out with April, train with Splinter, have fun with Karai, and skate with Casey. He missed them all so much, but it seemed like he wasn't missed at all. What did he do wrong to deserve this?
He leaned to the cold wall, and tried to lay down. However, the chain connected to wall and to his collar wasn't long enough, and his head hung in mid air. He sat up again, and wrapped his arms around his knees. Why? Why this all happened to him? Even if he was happy that none of his brothers had to go through this, he rather wouldn't go it through himself either.
White suited man stepped inside, and withouth saying anything, he gave a plate of rice to him. And, then he left. He looked at the plate. It would most likely to contain some drug to either make him feel sick, or to put him hallucinate things. He didn't know which one was worse. Ha had went through both, and they were terrible.
When he got sick, it lasted many hours. His stomach was in extreme pain, and he couldn't think about anything else than the pain. It was horrific. And the pain made sleeping impossible. Besides, the pain made him usually move, and too much moving at the chain caused electric shocks.
Hallucinations on the other hand, weren't physically painful. But emotionally even worse. Usually he saw one of his brothers dying, or dead. And at one point, they actually attacked against him, and laughed how weak and pathetic he was. You actually can't know how bad it hurts, when your own family attacks against you.
He kept staring at the bowl of rice. He was so hungry, but he couldn't go through any pain anymore. Right when he was about to start eating, he felt something inside his head. It felt like someone was trying to connect him through meditation. He felt like he didn't have enough power to answer, but he did. And immediatly, he heard the voice of Karai.
'Whose there?' He still asked, just to make sure this isn't just some kind of trick. But the connection broke. It left him wit so many this just a cruel trick? Why the connection broke? Why Karai tried to take contact to him? Why not Splinter or April? Why she didn't speak longer with him?
Part of his was extremely happy to hear a voice of his family member. But the other part didn't know was this a trick. He looked at the rice again, and ate it. It tasted like a normal rice, but so had other foods given to him too. He waited for the effects to take over.
*End of Flashback*
And when he woke up from that dream full of hallucinations, he was in this cage. He still coudn't get the connection out of his head. If it was just a trick, he'd kill the one causing it. Because that was was just the most cruel thing that could be done to him. But at the second thought, how could they know about his family? They possibly couldn't. He had hid all his family secrets.
However, now he'd be moved from hell 1 to hell 2. Great. Why everything had to go so wrong?
About an hour driving, and the truck stopped. He woke up, as the door of the trunk was opened. About five men stood there, looking back to him. He couldn't hold back grin, after he noticed the scared faces the men had. Must be pretty shocking to see creature like him.
They took him inside a completely white building. The building was extremely creepy looking. It was kind of like old hospital styled house. Long hallways had many, many doors on them. He could only wonder what was behind them. They took him down stairs, where more hallways were waiting. 'How big is this building..?' He thought, and followed without any fighting.
Finally, the stopped in front of one door, similar to the other ones. One of the men took keys from his pocket, and opened the door. He was pushed inside, and took a better look of the place. It looked kind of same as the another 'torture' room he was in. White everywhere, and the table thing in the middle of.
"Oh, my little subject arrived", he looked to the direction voice came from, and saw a man. Dark brown hair, white jacket and glasses. And he looked kind of young. 30-40, maybe? He got chills, when he noticed the wicked grin on his face. This man looked even more twisted than that Dr. Barrow was. Definetly a bad thing.
His thoughts end, when couple of men made him lie down to the table, and strapped him down. He knew there was no point of fighting them, so he just laid there. After the men had stepped a bit farther, the 'boss' came to my view.
"My name is Conan Abney. I own this place, and my job is to find out more about exotic animals. But you are bit more exotic than i thought. There's no possible way, that nature can create that kind of creature, so what are you really? If only you could talk to tell..", the look Conan gave to him, was something between hate and interest. He really didn't like this guy at all.
"But i'll find out your secrets, so don't worry about that. But first, we need to make clear that you're really ours now". Wait, what was that supposed to mean? He understood, when a man moved a red piece of steel towards him, which was at the end of longer stick. He tried to struggle, when the man pressed the fire hot steel to his side. They were really gonna mark him. Put their mark on him, and scar of that would probably be there forever.
He tried not to scream, but he did. It hurted so much, and it felt like it lasted hours. When they finally removed the steel, he could see Conan smirking wickedly. "Looks good", he said, and moved his hand on the mark they had just made on him.
"I want to make few things clear to you. You get food once a day, so you better eat when you have the change. You have the lowest place in here. If you don't behave, you get hurt. And i'm not afraid to personally make you suffer", Conan looked at him, like he could tell that the turtle understood talking. It was kind of creepy to him. He was pretty sure, that they would find it out at some point. Then he'd be in worse trouble than he already was. They would ask about his breed, and if he knew any creatures like him. And he wouldn't tell about his family. Ever.
He was taken to a small room, and locked to there. At least now he had the chance to move around, and this cell was much more lighter than the other one. And there was actually a small bed too. He gladly lied down, and yawned. He never had been so tired in his life. He closed his eyes, and fell asleep really quickly.
However, he didn't have the chance to sleep very long. A loud scream from the outside of his room woke him up. It sounded so familiar, that he pressed his ear against the door to hear better.
"Let me go!"
A strong girl voice echoed in his head. April..? No, no, it couldn't be. She couldn't be here. There was no possible way they had captured her. And why they'd do that anyway? Thay couldn't know she was his friend. Part of his family. He tried to open the door, but no use. April's screams continued, until she was taken so far that he didn't hear her anymore. This wasn't happening.. What if they had his whole family?
He felt like panic rising inside him. What was he gonna do now? April was prisoner too, and his whole family might be here too. And he couldn't do anything. He didn't care anymore.
"Let me out!" He screamed, and tried to open the door. To his surprise, the door opened, and Conan stepped inside. There were no other men with him. He had that wicked grin on his face, and it made the turtle feel sick.
"I knew all the time there was something different about you. Talking turtle. That's something, right?" Conan smirked, and looked at the turtle.
"The girl! Let her go!" He growled, sounding more like an aggressive animal than himself. He could have easily attacked Conan right here and now. But he still had that shock collar on. And Conan most likely had remote to activate it. So he didn't bother to try.
"Nah, i ordered my men to get rid of her as soon as possible. She tried to spy around this building. Rude, don't you think?" He grinned. "Besides, you know her, right? She's your friend? And she wouldn't be in here, if you wouldn't be here. So technically it's your fault"
He was left speechless. That was right. April was here because of him. But where were the other guys? He didn't think that April would come to here alone..
"And oh yeah, almost forgot. They found a boy with him. Black hair, and mask on his face. Sounds familiar to you, am i right?" Conan continued.
His eyes widened even more. So they had both Casey and April? And they're gonna die because of him. Sounds so unfair. If they just hadn't come at all, they would be safe. He just had to save them.. at any cost.
"I'll do anything if you let them go", he tried. He hated how weak he sounded. So pathetic. But he didn't care. He just wanted April and Casey as far from here as possible. He was willing to do anything, to just save them. He didn't want anyone to die here because of him.
"That's interesting deal, but i'm afraid i have to say no. You see, they could be dead at the moment"
His words hit him like cold water, and he looked down. "..why are you doing this?"
"I want to see how many your close ones it takes to break you. I want to see you suffer. You're so interesting subject, that i wan't to know everything about you: Weaknesses, abilities, how you were created, everything. And i'm warning you. I know every single thing about your family. About those three other turtles, and about your sister. Even about your father, the rat. And as you can probably see, i know your allies too. I can destroy all of them, if i think it's nessessary. If i were you, i would just do as i were told to", he grinned, and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him.
He was left to the room. Terrified, furious, and without any idea how he ever was gonna get out of this mess.
