It's now been two days since Donatello was captured, and his family still haven't found him yet. He knew he was sick. The infected wounds had not been dressed or treated, collecting dust, bacteria, and who knows what else in his filthy little cell chamber. No wonder he had a fever. His arms felt ready to be yanked from their sockets from holding his body up for so long. Which he knew was accurate considering what the Shredder had done to one of his arms during his last visit.
FLASH BACK
The Shredder had bent Donnie's bad arm back until a loud popping sound could be heard. Leaving a disgusting looking bump at Donnie's shoulder indicating that it had been dislocated. Then the Shredder had left him to hang there, and let his poor arm hold up the wait of his body.
END FLASH BACK
Although his arms had pretty much went numb by now Donatello could still feel the searing ache, and shooting pain from his shoulder all the way down to his toes. So much that he briefly wondered why he wasn't dead yet. He had lost a lot of blood, and the sickness only made it worse. A cough racked his body, leaving his ribs aching all the more, and shoulders on fire. He was bad off he knew, and wondered if he managed to get out if he'd survive. He tried to think it through, but his migraine was still pounding in his head, and he bit his lip. He felt light headed, and knew he was passing in and out of his lucid state. It wouldn't be very long until Shredder returned.
"Donnie. Donnie... Wake up Donnie...please." Donnie woke up to a small, familiar, feminine voice he had only heard a few times before.
"Uhh...uh...Karai is that you? " Donnie asked just barely able to lift his head, and look at her. It has been a whole two days since he was captured, and his open wounds were starting to get badly infected. That with all the blood lose from the beatings he was put through was really starting to take it's toll on him. He felt feverish, his skin was paler, he had a bad headache, and he felt like he could throw up if he moved the wrong way. Not too mention thirsty. It had been almost two days since he had had some food or water.
"Yeah it's me." Karai was in her human form hanging limply from the chains. "Listen to me Donnie, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. You shouldn't have been looking for me. Your sick and hurt now. I have to find a way to get us out of here. So whatever I say, whatever I do, you have to go with me on it, okay."
"Okay" Donnie replied weakly. "I'm glad... you...know what...your..doing because...for...once in my...life I...don't." Was all he could get out between gasps for air.
"Just hold on little brother... " She said hesitantly. "I overheard a group of soldiers talking about are brothers, and I think I have an idea."
Through all the pain he was in Donnie managed to smile at her weakly. "Little... brother?"
"Yeah, I've had a lot of time to think about things. I guess it's about time I called you guys that huh? "
Just then they both heard banging on the door as the Shredder came marching in with five Foot Bots and Baxter Stockmen trailing behind him. "Oh no. Not again." She could hear Donnie whisper under his breath.
"Good morning turtle, you look terrible. Did you sleep? "
"No he didn't. I must say I truly admire your work Father. I mean he looks rather pathetic. How do you do it?"
"Karai your awake my daughter. "
"Yes and as you can see I'm not a snake anymore, and this is very uncomfortable so if you would Fly...let me go!"
"It seams that it may have temporarily wiped her memory as well Master. I'll let her down now" Stockmen said as he took out a pair of keys and headed for Karai. Only to be stopped by Shredder.
"No, stop Baxter! She's not entirely human yet, look at her eyes! What is the meaning of this? " the Shredder growled as he ran a semi loving hand down Karai's face.
"Well Master he did say that it takes longer for her. I'm sure the Retro Mutagen is still working in her system. "
"Alright then let her down Baxter. "
"Yes Master" and with that Karai found herself coming in to contact with the ground as her chains were opened, and she was released.
Karia rubbed her sore wrists, and she just couldn't imagine how Donnie felt. "Excuse me if I may Father, but I have some different ideas of torture for this one" she said as she walked over to Donnie, and patted his sore arm. Witch in turn erupted a small, pained groan from him. In her mind she couldn't help but feel bad, even for causing Donnie the slightest discomfort. Especially after seeing what he has been put through over the last couple of days. "All I request, if you'll allow it. Is his assistants? " Karai asked as she pointed to Stockmen.
The Shredded growled deep in his throat before walking behind her, and placing both hands on her shoulders. "Very well then Karai. Today's torture is up to you. Stockmen is yours. How about that turtle." The Shredded sneered turning around to look at him. "The girl you tried so hard to save, and for what? Your Master phu... in a couple more days you'll die. Then I'll have to get the next brother in line. Enjoy yourself Karai. I better be truly pleased. "
The last thing Don remembered was Karai leaving the room with Stockmen before he let himself drift off. Unfortunately his rest didn't last long. Only to be awaken by her screaming. "NO STOP LET ME GO!" Then followed with the Shredder storming in the room with a bunch of Foot Bots dragging Karai in behind him, and chaining her to the wall again.
"I can't believe that even after all you've been through you would still go and signal the turtles behind my back daughter! Betray me! Your Father!"
"Your not my Father, you said so yourself. So why do you keep acting like it ?" Karai cried. "Just let us go. You never have to see me ever again! Just let us go!"
"I hope your listening turtle. For her tertiary. For that message. Everything you received before now doubles!" Donnie lifted his head just enough to look at the Shredder with the eye that wasn't swollen shut. Only to have the Shredder growl, unsheathe one of his gauntlets and trust the blade in Donnie's bad shoulder. Don couldn't hold back a scream this time as he felt the blade go all the way through. He could feel it pop out the other side.
Karai closed her eyes tight, and almost wished she didn't have her mind back after all. That way she wouldn't have to hear Donnie's screams of pain.
