Slowly I became more and more aware of my surroundings. I was also slowly regaining control over my body.
Immediately I knew this wasn't the cell I had been kept in, yet it wasn't that operating room either.
Pushing the pain in my right arm out of my mind, I focused my attention on the weight I felt on my left hand.
Tentatively I moved his fingers, testing to see if I was restrained as well as to see if I could move his fingers.
My fingers felt stiff as I tried wiggling them. The weight around that hand felt warm and somewhat callous.
I tried again. This time I felt them bend around the weight slightly.
Suddenly my hand was moving and some of the weight disappeared. Then I felt something being placed on my brow and a noise.
It was a voice, but my head was still so stuffed up I could not place it or what it had said.
The weight on my brow moved back and forth slightly. I heard the muffled voice again and then a second one. I could not understand either.
The light above me glared down upon me as I tired to open my eyes. I could make out three shapes above me. They seemed to be talking.
As whatever they had pumped into me wore off more, I was able to think more clearly.
I still had not determined where I was so I feel back onto the lessons I had learned.
Show no emotion. Don't make a sound. Keep your mind blank. Do not respond to anything.
The shapes above me started becoming clearer. The light was too bright.
'Another operating room perhaps.'
The shapes began to take on various shades of green. I could also make out colors around their eyes.
'Could it be?'
Then a memory kicked in.
'They're trying the hallucination drugs again. Apparently I'm suppose to believe I'm home'
The pain ripped through my heart, but I remained motionless and emotionless.
The shapes above me that were my 'brothers' cleared and I could see them clearly now.
I could see the worry and happiness in "Leo's" eyes. "Raph" was upside down, standing over my head. "Mikey" was the one who held my hand, his eyes over running with tears, a large smile across his face.
I could see their mouths moving and could hear their voices but I did not let them into my mind. It hurt too much, that brief moment I thought my brothers had finally come for me.
Only to realize Titan had used the hallucination drug again. I waited for my subconscious to kick in and prove me right like it had done those many trips ago.
I closed my eyes and dipped into a meditative state, closing myself off from these false images of my brothers.
Short chapter I know. Then next one will be longer.
