Chapter 6 - A Day of Hardships

Brit went down to the lab as she heard Donny yelling for her.

"Hey sis how's it going?" Donny asks gently.

"Fine," she mumbles as she doesn't want to be anywhere near the lab. She just wants to think things thru.

"Ok. I know you are weak from the mind awakening but is there anything else that I need to be aware of? Also, I will take that feeding tube out too in a few," Donny replies.

"No," Brit replies keeping everything short and to the point. She has no intention of giving anyone more information than what is needed.

"Ok just sit on the table. I have a stimulant that I will give you in shot form that should make you feel stronger to take care of the weakness of your body. I will need to give it to you once a day for a month," Donny replies.

Brit walks over to the table and plumps herself upon it as if she doesn't have a care in the world. She keeps her eyes downcast and her head tilted downward too. She is very withdrawn from the Brit Donny once knew. Donny notices these very drastic changes. Donny decides to get Ben to talk to his sister as he believes that is what she needs as she has not seen him yet.

Donny grabs the shot he already prepared with the stimulant. He takes some alcohol and cleans the right thigh of her leg.

"I'm going to give you the shot on the count of three. One, two, three," Donny replies as he pushes the stimulant into Brit's thigh. Brit winces and balls up her fists as she feels the shot inserted into her skin. She refuses to show any weakness but is hurting so bad from the shot which Donny can tell by her posture and facial features.

"Ok now I am going to pop a bubble by going down your throat and take the feeding tube out. Who would you like to hold you down?" Donny asks.

"I don't care," Brit replies quickly.

"Ok. Mikey," Donny yells.

Mikey walks in the lab a few seconds later, "what's up dude?"

"I need you to hold her down so I can get that feeding tube out," Donny replies as he grabs tweezers and a long needle to pop it with. Mikey walks over to Brit and sits next to her on the bed.

"I won't hurt you sis. I promise," Mikey replies as he looks at her with the most sincere expression and kisses her head. Mikey grabs hold of both her arms as Donny comes by her head with the tools.

"Open your mouth and it will all be over in few seconds," Donny replies. Brit obliges and Donny goes down her mouth quickly with the tools. A loud pop sound is her a couple seconds later over Brit's gagging. Donny quickly pulls the tube out and Mikey lets go as Brit quickly runs out of the lab.

Brit runs out the lab, thru the living room, and out the main entrance. No one saw her leave. She just needed to get out and think everything thru. Her leg hurt and is sore from the shot. She kept running and running until she saw a small space ahead she could hide in. All she had to do was jump up and pull herself up. Hopefully no one would find her for a while. She ran as fast as she could and jumped up but couldn't reach it on the first chance. She kept trying until the sixth time she finally made it. She pulled herself up and crawled as far as she could so no one would see her.

At the lair, meanwhile, Donny and Mikey were looking for Brit. They could not find her anywhere and no one saw her since she left the lab. This is not good and Raph is going to kill them once he finds out. Raph left earlier to blow off some steam and should be back shortly. Leo went to go get him after Donny starting the procedure.

Brit just let everything come down on her shoulders all the grief and burdens that she carries. Her pain and devastation come hurtling upon her at one time as the tears started rolling out of the corners of her eyes and down her soft cheeks. She does not believe she is good for anyone and wants to kill herself for the first time in a long time. Her brother, Ben, she has not seen yet but knows he is still around in her heart. She has not been here for him and for that alone she hates herself. She cannot even begin to think about everything her mind has been thru for the past two weeks. It is unnerving, unnatural, unreal to her. She still has to come to process everything. Yet she still doesn't believe everyone fully that they love her and care for her. How could she with everything she has been thru? All the abuse that happened in her mind was so real to her. She starts to cry harder the more she thinks about everything to the point if someone were to walk by her they would hear her.

Donny decides to call Leo and tell him what happened while Mikey tells Ben that he needs to cheer up her sister when she comes back.

"Hey Leo. Listen tell Raph I'm sorry but we sorta lost Brit. She ran out of the lair after the procedure," Donny hurriedly tells Leo after Leo answers the phone.

"Oh boy, Donny, we will look for her in the sewers. I really don't think she will leave the sewers. I gotta go," Leo replies as he hangs up the phone.

"You have got to be shitting me," Raph yells after Leo gets off the phone with Donny.

"Raph calm down. We will find her," Leo replies as he clips his phone on his belt.

"Come on let's find her," Leo replies as they descend in the sewers by the park. They both start walking towards home but no such luck. They made all the way to the entrance of the lair.

"I'm going to tell them no luck and will continue in a minute. You go on ahead," Leo replies.

Raph is walking quickly. He remembers a place he used to hide in and decides to start there. He keeps walking and soon he hears a faint crying. It is Brit. Thank the Turtles for a miracle. Raph runs and doesn't see her but he directly below her.

"Babe I'm coming up and I know you are there," Raph replies lovingly. Raph jumps up after a minute as he receives no answer. He looks at her up and down a couple times. He sees no marks on her. He scoots over to her and gently starts to rub her back.

Brit wasn't even aware that anyone was up there with her as she jumps when she feels someone touch her. Her eyes are opened wide with alert as she looks to her side only to see Raph. She looks back down to her lap as she continues to cry.

"Shh shh shh my love my angel. I got you I won't let you get hurt again," Raph whispers as he continues rubbing circles on her back. "I know you got a lot of things on your mind. But we will get it all taken care of as a couple," Raph relies seriously as Brit starts to calm down. She still refuses to look at him.

"Yea right," Brit mumbles as she is still hiccuping but at least she has stopped crying for now. She doesn't believe anything anymore.

Raph looks over at her and sees nothing but doubt upon her features. It is time for him to show her how he truly feels about her. He takes both his hands rubbing them gently up and down her arms which causes the hairs upon her arms and neck to stand up. He then kisses her starting on the top of her head and gently raises her chin so he can look at her beautiful face especially the eyes and lips.

"Your eyes warm up my days when I get so hot tempered all I do is look at them and it calms me down. And your lips are so full that they attract my whole body to them," Raph replies huskily as he starts to plant kisses all over her face. He finally reaches her lips and kisses her gently at first which Brit returns. Then he kisses her deeper and deeper until it is a full out make-out heated session. This sends sensations into both Brit and Raph's bodies.

"I love you and i'm sorry," Brit replies as she leans against Raph's chest.

"It's ok I know you will get like this at times. I just won't go out unless I need to. I had to show you finally how I felt," Raph replies as they both enjoy each other's company.
