Word By; TimidBookworm: 'That's not right...'

'That's not right...' I couldn't help but think as the silence continued. 'The silence, that's never right around here.' "Hey guys, you here? Hello, Mikey, Leo, Raph, Master Splinter?" Still the silence continued.

I knew something was wrong, it had to be. Not even Klunk had responded to my call, but the lair was in the same shape as I'd left it. Had they all gone over to April's or something? I patted myself down before realizing my shell cell was no where to be found. 'That's not right...' I thought at once, 'I always keep that thing on me, especially for situations like this. What was going on?'

The quite seemed to continue to grow louder and louder the longer I stood there in the door way. I knew I should go in, try and check if they'd left a note lying around or something, but my feet just wouldn't move. Something wasn't right here. It just felt wrong, but, 'that's not right... this was my home. If there was one place in the world I should feel safe, it should be here.'

What was going on? Had it finally happened, that feeling deep down inside me that said, it was coming? Had my past finally caught up with my present, and this was the beginning of the end for me? I started seeing them all again, dropping like stones around me as the Shredder stood there, watching "Hey Don, pizza's here!"

I jerked back from my key board with such force that I managed to topple it to the ground, bringing Leo to my lab at once to appraise my condition. He stared at me for a long time, taking in my clouded eyes and almost sunken appearance before asking "Want to talk about it?"

Fear shot through my spine at once, 'That's not right...' I told myself, 'Leo would usually be down my shell by now demanding to know what was wrong,' but then I took a good look at his eyes, and I realized that he hadn't meant it as a question. When Mikey and Raph called out to us, Leo merely walked right in, shut the door behind him, and sat down on the nearest surface. So, I told him my story at last.

As some of you guys might know, I do have a SAINW, one shot series going, but as always when it comes to these, I just started writing down what ever came to mind, and this is what came about. Hope you enjoyed
