Here With Me
Chapter V: The Mirror

"Leo, do you think Raph's going to be alright?" Michaelangelo asked his older brother with concern.
"Yeah." Leonardo looked over to Raphael. It must of been the first time he slept in days. "Yeah, Mikey. He just needs some rest."
*******************************
Splinter gently knocked at Mai Li's door. Hopefully she could help them.
"Splinter." Mai Li was surprised to see Splinter at her door. It seemed like they just left.
Splinter looked at Mai Li carefully. She looked like she was stressed and nervous. Maybe, her grandnephew was keeping her up at night.
Mai Li looked at Splinter carefully. He looked worried and fearfully. Something was wrong. She could feel it. It had to do with that dream she had the other day. The dream with the Dragon Lord and Tashina.
"Splinter, what are you doing here?" Mai Li questioned.
"Mai Li, come with me. We need your help."
"Alright. I'll be a minute." Mai Li left him and went to tell her niece where she was going to. She was worried to leave her, but her husband could protect her if the dragons came.
Mai Li joined Splinter and they began to walk towards Venus' home. For a few seconds there was complete silence between them.
"Mai Li." Splinter started. "I had a vision the other day."
"It was of the Dragon Lord and Tashina."
"How did you know?" Splinter stopped in his tracks. "How do you know about Tashina?"
"I had the same dream too." Mai Li sighed. "I knew it was her. I remember her from reading Chung I's scrolls."
"Yes, of course. You were one of Chung I's students." A worried look came over his face. There was something more than just the dream.
"What happened?"
"After I warned my students, they insisted in leaving our home anyway." Splinter sighed. "Venus and Raphael were captured."
"And..." Mai Li grabbed Splinter's wrist. She was so worried.
"Venus was thrown into the mirror." Splinter wanted to cry at that point. He was so worried about her. Venus was not one of his children, but she had become so close to him since she came to live with them years ago. "I'm so worried Mai Li. She's in there with dragons."
"Don't worry Splinter. Not all dragons are evil." Mai Li and Splinter began to walk again. "However, Venus and the village are in great danger."
"What do you mean?"
"Is the mirror here?"
"Yes, it's in Venus home."
Mai Li sighed. "The past week, dragons have been in the village. They have been stealing medicines and herbs. They have also been looking for the mirror."
"Oh my." Splinter knew this wasn't going to be a good trip.
***********************************
Venus slowly pushed open the door to the castle. A deathly chill passed through her. She swallowed hard. She had to be insane to go in here, but something told her to come in.
She walked around the castle. It seemed like hours passed. It wasn't well lit. In fact, there were hallways that weren't lit at all. She had to take a torch off the wall to light her way.
Venus got the feeling she wasn't alone. It was something she felt ever since she walked in. She felt like someone was following her, but everytime she looked around she could find no one.
************************************
Leonardo walked over to Raphael and placed a sheet over him. Poor Raphael he thought. He knew he must of been hurting and worrying bad.
Leonardo looked at the mirror. He hated that thing. Ever since they took it from Dragon Lord's, he felt like something was watching them. He didn't know how Raphael could stay so close to it these last few days.
****************************
Donatello finished his letter to April. Hopefully she would be online today to get the letter.
He closed his laptop and watched Leonardo. He had always admired Leonardo for being the protective one. He knew Leonardo was worried about Raphael.
He looked at the mirror. He hated that thing. It gave off this bad vibe he just could explain. He hated that. He always could find a way to explain everything, but he couldn't explain that mirror..
Donatello got up from where he was sitting. He didn't want to be in the same room as that mirror. He carried his laptop and walked into the kitchen.
*************************************
"Hey Mike." Mondo Gecko asked Michaelangelo as the two of them began to make dinner. "You see that glass thing Raph's by."
"Yeah, what about it." Michaelangelo began to shred cheese for the pizzas they were making.
"That thing." Mondo Gecko began to whisper. "It freaks me out."
"You know what." Michaelangelo stopped and whispered to his friend. "It freaks me out too."
"HEY GUYS!" Donatello and Leonardo exclaimed as they both walked in the kitchen.
Michaelangelo and Mondo Gecko jumped and turned around.
"Dude you scared the shit out of me." Mondo Gecko replied.
Michaelangelo placed his hand on his heart and nodded.
'What were ya'll whispering about?" Leonardo asked
"The mirror."
They all turned and looked at it.
"It freaks us out."
"Me too." Donatello sighed.
"Me also." Leonardo said. "When I walked over there, I couldn't even see my reflections."
"That mirror's freaky." Mondo Gecko added.
They all turned and looked at the mirror again. It gave them the chills just to look at it.
