So, guys, what do you think so far? Taylor's dream is CRAZY, right? BTW, thank you all soooo much for the AWESOME REVIEWS! They really keep me going. Anyways, enough mumbling! Back to the story!
I grabbed her arm and forced her down. She lay motionless, and for a minute, I thought she was knocked out.
"Tsk, tsk. I really thought you were more of a lady than that, Taylor. If anything, you should consider poor Raphael's sake. Why, if I electrocuted the rope around his neck with a voltage so high, he'd be burned to a crisp. That would be a shame." Zoey got up and brushed herself off.
"Enough threats! I already know you'd never hurt him for anything! You love him to much for that!" I held up my fists and circled her.
She only smiled wider. "I love him? Or do you?"
Her question made me stop and stare.
"That is correct. You really do love him. This is, after all, only a dream." She pinned me on the ground and held up two fingers, as if to paralyze me the way she did Splinter. "SO WAKE UP!"
I woke up, sweating bullets. I looked around. Leo was looking at me intently. 'Is this his room?' I got off the blanket on the floor and looked at the clock on the wall. It read 3:00 a.m.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked.
"Yeah," I rubbed my head. "I'm fine. What are you doing up so early?"
Leo blushed. "Watching you sleep. It seemed like you were having a nightmare." He stood up and grabbed my hand. "Come on. I think you need to... freshen up."
I looked at him. "Do I stink?"
"A bit, yeah. That sweat went right through the blanket."
Leo led me to the bathroom. I closed the door and turned on the faucet. Splashing my face with water. Remembering how Zoey communicated. 'Through nightmares,' I thought.
After drying, I rubbed my face on my hands. I was still sweating.
Leo knocked on the door. "You okay in there?"
I opened. "I need a bath. Problem is, I didn't bring any clothes from April's house."
I heard a loud yawn. Mikey came in. "What's all the noise for? I was trying to sleep."
"Sorry, Mikey. I-"
"Whoa!" Mikey held his snout/nose. "You stink! Like, REAL BAD!"
I smiled. "Do you happen to have any of April's clothes! I need to take a bath."
Mikey nodded. "Follow me."
Leo stayed behind, and I heard the faucets turning. Was he preparing my bath?
"In here. I won't be surprised if Donnie has some of April's stuff in his room," Mikey opened the door to his brother's room. "After you, milady."
"Thanks Mikey. I'll be back."
When I walked inside the room, I saw Donnie hunched over, asleep on his desk. The lamp was on, and a pencil was in his hand. I shook my head and laughed to myself.
A glint caught my eye. I looked at Donnie's bed. A dress lay on it. A turquoise dress. "Oh, heck no."
" Oh, heck yes. I know Leonardo will like it. And who knows? Maybe even... Raphael." Zoey snickered.
"But how-?"
"Before you came down here, I stole the dress and laid it out of Donatello's sight. Then I paralyzed Leonardo so I could lay it out. It was pretty simple, really."
I snatched the dress and stuffed it in Donnie's closet, praying he didn't go in there at all today. "You little witch."
I kept on looking, and eventually found a lavender shirt and black pants. I grabbed them and ran out of the room, afraid Donnie would wake up any minute now.
"What took so long?" Mikey was sitting on the floor, playing a video game.
"I... could barely find anything," I lied. I walked to the bathroom and found a fresh bar of soap and a warm bath waiting for me.
"Aw. How sweet."
"So you like this type of stuff, huh?" Raph's voice startled me. I turned around and looked at the Turtle. He was leaning on the door frame, arms crossed.
"I- I thought Leo did this."
"Eh. Our 'fearless leader' asked me to do it. He seemed scared to do anything involving you." Raph straightened his back. "Whatever. I'm out of here. Got some food to eat."
I locked the door and got undressed. I slipped into the water, my body immediately relaxing. This is nice.
All of a sudden, the door flew open. Apparently, I didn't lock the door correctly. I screamed.
