"Duncan...Duncan..." Mikey repeated it again and again under her breath. "Why can't I get that name out of my head?" She asked herself.
His face was stuck in her head. How can she forget him. He's like a zit that wouldn't go away.
"Everything he did...Why? Why should I trust him?" She said to herself. Her eyes suddenly flashed yellow and held it's color.
'You should just forget about your problems...It's alright my sweet...'
'But it hurts...My memories...'
'You're gonna be fine just make your easy choice tonight.'
"Mommy?" Her eyes returned to normal. "Yeah Lilly."
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"Yes, I'm fine why do you ask?"
"No reason." Lilly walked to her room.
Lilly walked back into her room and stood against the door. She sighed. "Mommy is acting weird. Well weirder than usual."
"Maybe I can do something about it." She picked up her turtle doll. "What do you think Lilly the second?"
The doll just stayed in her arms not saying a word. "Maybe you're right. I should see what's wrong. But I tried that. She wouldn't tell me."
She looked at her doll. "Spy On her? I don't know. I tried that last time and I got caught by grandpa and ended up doing 20 backflips."
"But Uncle Leo says a true ninja must always stay in the shadows. And Uncle Raph always says it's not spying unless you get caught..."
"Mikey? Where are you going?" Lilly heard and peeked outside her room. "Just out for a few minutes to myself." Mikey said. "I'll be home soon." She saw her mom leave.
"Mommy's not gonna like this..." She said grabbing her red scarf and her fan.
Lilly stayed close behind Mikey but far enough so she wouldn't be suspicious.
"This better not be a waste of my time." She said to herself. She hid behind a large air vent and peeked around the corner.
"Well, well, well...Guess who's here..." Lilly's eyes widen as she saw the big lizard.
Mikey walked in front of him. "I've made my choice..."
"I knew you would come around."
"I'm not joining you."
"WHAT!"
"You heard me. I'm not going to give up my loyalty to my family. You're just scared to admit that you probably can't take your own dad down yourself. So you go to me with some pathetic sob story about seeing the light and Being reformed. It's sad obviously that I pity you and knowing that fact that you can't do your own dirty work makes me laugh. You're nothing but a scared little boy under all that anger and tough guy look."
"A scared little boy who's scared of his own father? Pathetic? I should be pitying you Michelle."
"Why's that?" Mikey's hand slowly reached for her chucks. "Cause you have no choice and Lilly might grow up without a mother."
Duncan grabbed her arms with his tail and flanged her against the vent. Lilly flinched and made sure she was still hidden as she covered her mouth to muffle any sounds coming from her.
"You bastard!" She said through clenched teeth As she struggled to get up. He pinned her to the vent. "Hush sweetie. This won't hurt a bit." His eyes shifted color and so did Mikey. She tried to resist but they were just so hypnotizing. She blue eyes sparkled until that sparkle disappeared. And her eyes showed no sign of life.
"I'm sorry I had to do that. But I'm glad you could see it my way sweetie." Duncan said holding her from behind. Mikey eyes shifted from baby blue to yellow to pale blue. "Yes Duncan. I'll join you."
"See now was that so hard?" He put his arms around her and gave her a passionate kiss upon her lips.
She held him close. "I love you."
"I got to tell someone." Lilly said sneaking back to the sewer.
She panted as she ran back into the lair. "Help! Help!" She shouted. Donnie, Leo, Raph, and Miwa saw Lilly running in.
"Lilly what's wrong?" Mira asked kneeling to her level. "Mommy...Lizard...yellow..." Donnie walked next to her with a cup of juice which she took and chugged down.
"You're welcome?" Donnie said she handed the cup back to her. "What were you saying Lil?" Raph said. She panted.
"Mommy's in trouble! IsawherwiththisbiggreenlizardthingandsheSaidnotohimandheattackedherandshesaid'Iloveyou'andtheniIjust-"
"Woah woah woah...Slow down Lilly." Leo said. "Mommy was talking to this big ugly lizard thing and she said no to him about something and he attacked her and her eyes turned yellow and she said 'I love you' and I just panicked and left!" She said in one breath.
"Are you sure?" Donnie asked. "Cause you still hallucinate on all that sugar you eat."
"This is for real this time! Mommy's in danger! We have to go save her!" She shouted pulling on Miwa's hand. There was a sound.
"Hey guys what I miss?" Mikey. "Where we're you?" Donnie asked. "Like I said I went for a walk around the sewers."
"Mommy!" Lilly ran to her mother and gave her a hug. "You're ok!"
"Of course I'm ok. Why wouldn't I be?"
"I saw this big lizard thing grab you and you said you love it and..."
"Have you been eating more sugar than usual? Cause we all know what happens."
"Maybe..." Mikey sighed. "Alright. Let's get you to bed."
"But mommy...I'm not tired." She whined. "Come on..." Mikey puled her hand and escorted her to her room. Lilly sighed.
'If their not gonna listen to me then I guess I'm going solo.'
