Homework was driving me crazy, summer was still fighting hard to stay, which was killing Alex.
"It's still too hot." She groaned.
"I think you need to just take a cold shower," I replied.
Having a giant amount of worksheets and homework stuff all over the dining room table. Alex's stuff was in her own room, she strolled past me into the bathroom.
Beeping and ringing pulled me away from the homework, looking down to see the shell cell was making the sounds with Don's name flashing, quickly answering it.
"Hey, Don," I said.
"Master Splinter would like You, Alex, and Ava to come down for a meditate session," Don said.
"That would be great but unfortunately we both have a heavy load of homework," I said. "Plus I don't think Ava's Dad is going to let her out plus she is working on a new collection of fashion."
"Understandable," Don said. "I will let Master Splinter know good luck with your homework, Tabs."
"Thanks, Don," I replied and hung up.
Placing the cell back down and focused on my work before for me. Alex reappeared using a towel to dry her wet hair.
"Who was that?" She asked.
"It was Don, Master Splinter wanted us down in the lair for a meditate session," I replied.
"I wish we could down there." She added.
"Yeah but unfortunately we have to work on our homework and projects," I said.
"Don't remember me." She added before walking away into her room to work on own her homework.
(TL)
I was able to get the English, and Science work done but was still working on Social studies and math. As well working on one of my elective classes, Japanese history, and mythology which was somewhat easy but still, I wanted to pass all of these classes. A squeak alerting me to Alex appearing from her room.
"How it is going?" I asked.
"Meep," Alex replied as she threw her arms up in annoyance.
Fighting a smirk at Alex's comment.
"That good," I said. Alex walked past me into the kitchen, grabbing a packet of pre-cut apples. Before walking past me back into her room and shut the door. "Okay then."
Placing the finished homework away in the right folders. I did feel bad about not going down to the Lair, but I was sure that Master Splinter understood.
Mom came walking in holding a bag of dinner.
"I picked up some dinner," She said. "Where's Alex?"
"In her room doing homework," I said.
"Alright," She said walking past me into the kitchen. "Can you please clean up and get Alex to come out for some food?"
"Sure," I replied making quick work of putting away the rest of the homework and worksheet before walking over to Alex's door. A quick knock.
"Alex, Mom's home with dinner."
The door open to show Alex looked tired.
"Okay," She said. "What's for dinner?"
"I'm thinking it's chicken," I replied.
"Okay, great," She said and walk past me into the other part of the apartment. "Hey, Mom."
"Oh hello dear," She said offering her a smile. "Could you Guys please set the table?"
"Sure Mom." We said.
Heading through the kitchen grabbing plates, silverware, and glasses. Setting the table, Alex filled the glasses with water. As Mom set out a whole cooked chicken, mash potatoes, carrots, and green beans.
(TL)
Sleep soon began more needed than making me keep working on my homework. Alex had chosen to go back into her room. Starting to curl up in my bed, as I closed my eyes that when the nightmare started.
Finding myself back in my old building put me on high alert. A scream ripped through the place, pushing myself up, and ran through the door to find birth mom, Paul, Cayla, Abel looking angry and displeased at me.
"You worthless piece of space," Paul growled
Growling but feeling nothing, looking down to see no claws or fangs.
"You will never amount to anything," Mother ordered. "You should have never be born."
"You will never really be our older sisters." Cayla and Abel said.
Fighting tears that were trying to break free, glancing around to find an escape route but seeing nothing.
"This is not real!" I growled. "Cayla and Abel would never say that to me."
Sharp pain and crashed to the ground, holding my cheek tightly. Looking up to see that Paul was looking down and grinned evilly at me. A sharp pain ripped through my scalp, gripping at my hair.
"Shut up girl," Paul ordered.
Seeing that Paul was pulling me towards the kitchen, looking into the kitchen to see Bishop and Shredder.
"No this is not real," I growled. "We ended you Shredder, liking your new ice planet."
"Silent!" Shredder yelled. "I thank you for bringing her to face justice."
"And that I will discover the truth of her ability to turn into a wolf and turn back into a human," Bishop announced giving a wicked smile.
"Let me go!" I growled griping at Paul's hand.
He pulled harder causing me to cry out in pain.
"Save your crying," Bishop said. "I will enjoy…"
He suddenly when flying into the ground, cried out. Alex appeared behind him, she growled.
"Let her go now!" She ordered.
"You will not win witch," Shredder growled and slash. Alex didn't move but rather take a breath. His slash didn't hit her at all.
"What the?" I asked.
Alex smirk.
"Bye, bye." She said with a push of her hand, Shredder disappeared.
"What is going on?" I asked.
"We are being trapped in your dreams," Alex said rushing over. "You need to clear your mind."
"How did you figure this out?" I asked.
Taking a breath and making myself clear my head, the pain from Paul, disappear. Looking up to see Paul was frozen, everyone apart from us was frozen as well.
"What is going on?" I asked at once.
"Someone or something is trying to attack us on the dream world," Alex said. "We need to get out of here."
"How?" I asked.
"I don't know…" Alex said
"My Sons and Daughters," I heard Master Splinter said.
"Master Splinter?" I asked. "Where are you Sensei?"
"Hear my voice, you are not injured you are not battered and most importantly you are not beaten."
"We need to meditate," I said at once.
Alex took a breath, we both sat down and made ourselves relax and meditate. Ignoring the fear that was trying to slip in. Finding peace, I soon open my eyes to find myself in a new and weird place a grey world, see the others each of us was glowing slightly.
"Master Splinter," Leo said.
"Where are we?" Don asked.
"I'm going to suggest an astral place," Alex said.
"Alex, Tabs?" Don questioned.
"We were attacked in our dreams," Alex said quickly.
"These two are more powerful than we imagined." I heard. Glancing to see the mystic ninjas. "No matter there are but two to our five." I heard.
The Mystic ninjas launched an attack, Alex and Master Splinter moved. Both dodge and avoid the attacks.
"This entire nightmare has been nothing but an astral dream," Master Splinter said. "A tainted projection conjured by an enemy."
"Master Splinter!" Mikey called.
"Come on Mikey," Raph said.
The rest of us ran to aid Alex, and Master Splinter.
The mystic ninjas shifted back to their element form.
"No they attack our minds we must respond in kind." Master Splinter said sitting down. Alex followed within seconds "Focus yourselves in meditation."
"What is it with him in meditation?" Raph asked. "Come on we gotta save him."
"Raph do what he said," Leo ordered.
Sitting down and focus on clearing my mind.
"Concentrate you have power as great as theirs you need only to find it channel it. Good my sons and daughters now focus strike back."
Feeling the mystic ninjas power disappear, slowly opening my eyes to find myself back in my own bedroom. Fighting back tears, before forcing myself up and running into Alex's room, who was still hovering above her bed, a gasp slipped from my mouth. Alex's body came back down to the bed. She opened her eyes quickly and looked at me and gave a small smile. She sat up and stretch her body which pops and crack.
"What the Hades was that?" I asked.
"We need to get to the lair now," She replied standing up, swishing her wrist creating a portal. She slipped on flip-flops. "I would suggest putting on footwear."
Rushing back grabbing shoes and slipped them on before running back. Running through the portal to find the Guys and Master Splinter okay.
"Guys you okay," I said smiling.
"Can someone tell me what the shell was that?" Raph asked.
"What we experienced tonight was the work of dark magic." Master Splinter said. "An attempt to destroy us from the inside out."
"It's not that I don't believe you, Master," Don said. "But."
"I understand Donatello if it will ease your mind," Master Splinter said. "You should call April and Casey."
Don hopped up and walk to make the phone call.
"Klunk you're okay," Mikey said jumping up and ran past us to get to Klunk. Who mew in response.
"Master how this is, even possible?" Leo asked.
"Pain is a blinding force Leonardo," Master Splinter said. "Physical and emotional they distracted us with illusions of that which would hurt us most."
"Unfortunately if the people or being is strong enough there can do a lot of damage to both the mental and physical," Alex said taking a seat next to Raph.
"You're sure you're all right? April and Casey are over there with you. No, I guess it was nothing." I heard Don said.
"But more troubling questions remain," Master Splinter said. "If they can attack us on our mystic plane what will be next? We must be on our guard."
"I will have Ruins ready to protect the lair," Alex said.
"How did you realized that you were being attacked Alex?" Leo asked.
"I think has to deal with me being more magical in-tuned." She said with finger air quotes.
"Interesting," Master Splinter said. "Alex will need to talk more in private."
"Of Course Master Splinter," Alex said.
Both Master Splinter and Alex stood up and walked into his private dojo.
"This is crazy," Mikey muttered.
"Yeah, it is," I replied. "We need to stay aware both mental and physical."
"Agree," Leo said.
"So what do you think Master Splinter and Alex talking about?" Don asked coming over after hanging up on the cell shell.
"Something about Alex being magical in-tuned," I said using finger quotes as well.
"So what's the plan now?" Leo asked.
"We plan and get ready for an attack." I reasoned.
"Agreed." The Guys said.
Okay, that end of chapter 81, please tell me what you think but please use Constructive criticism.
