Chapter 22
Don coughed out violently, turning his body and moving to his hands and knee's, still coughing out.
"Donnie!" Mikey said with worry in his voice
Don saw the wave of blood fall from his mouth, dripping rapidly. Don spat out as much as he could and inhaled, still feeling blood run down his throat. His tongue sent burst of pain in his mouth, making it hard for him to even think.
"Oh my god?" Mikey said
"Don what the hell happened to you!" Scarlet yelled
Don lifted his head and looked at Scarlet, "You should know" Don said still having trouble speaking
"What?" Scarlet said
"You tore my thongue out you bitsh" Don said
"I tore you tongue out?" Scarlet exclaimed, "How the hell would I have torn you're tongue out?"
"You bit his tongue out?" Mikey said to her
"No! I was right here the whole time, he jumped onto the monster, stuck the grenade in his mouth and when his head blew off, Don landed on the floor, we tried to wake him up and then he woke up…Now how could I have bitten his tongue out in the time span" Scarlet said
Mikey thought about it, "She has a point Donnie"
Don looked up at Mikey, then at Scarlet, He shot up and started walking down the street, Mikey stood up and stopped him. "Don what are you doing" Mikey asked
"Getting the hell out of here…I don't want to be anywhere near that bitsh…She's not who she shays she ish" Don shouted, then something caught his eyes, he looked up on a building and saw someone standing there, watching him.
"What do you mean she isn't who she says she is?" Mikey said
Don looked away from the person and looked at Mikey, "She's Cophlan…She's a creation of Cophlan's" Don shouted
Mikey looked back at Scarlet, who just stood there and watched, her faced looked like she was about to burst out in anger, and that's exactly what she did, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a gun, pointing it directly at Mikey.
"LOOK OUT" Don screamed and pushed Mikey out of the way as he heard a gunshot ring through the air.
"Don what the hell is wrong with you" Mikey shouted
Don looked up and saw Scarlet still standing there, no gun in here hand. "But...she" He looked back at Mikey and saw Dr. Coplan standing where Mikey was.
"No…" Don said softly
"Don something's wrong with you" He heard Dr. Coplan said
Then Dr. Coplan lifted his hand and his hand turned into a sword, "NO!" Don screamed, pushed Dr. Coplan out of the way and ran down the street.
"Mikey what the hell is wrong with him" Scarlet asked,
"I have no idea" Mikey said as he began to run after Don.
Don looked back and saw Dr. Coplan running after him, "Donnie wait up!" He shouted
Don yelped and continued to run, he looked back again and saw Scarlet hold up a gun and pull the trigger. Don felt a dull pain in his shoulder, he looked and saw a bullet wound, "No" He said softly, feeling numb, he stopped and fell to the floor, falling into a deep darkness.
Mikey and Scarlet stopped near Don, "I'm sorry Mikey….It had to do it" Scarlet said
"It's ok…I was thinking of doing it myself" Mikey said, bending over and pulling the tranquilizer dart out of his shoulder, "He should wake up in an hour"
….
Don opened his eyes, feeling pain run down his shoulder, He felt the blood in his mouth had been cleaned and his tongue had been stitched, he groaned and moved his hands, feeling it tug against something. Don jiggled his hands and realized his was cuffed. He looked up and saw Scarlet and Mikey looking down at him.
"Don" Mikey said, kneeling down next to him, "It's me…Mikey"
"Mikey" Don said softly, finding it much easier to talk, then looked up at the building and saw the person still standing there.
"Yeah…Now tell me what's wrong" Mikey said
Don felt his mind jerk to life, remembering everything from seeing Scarlet smile and shut the door on him, Scarlet killing Mikey, Mikey turning into Dr. Coplan, "I…I've been…Seeing thing…Things that aren't really happening" Don said
Then Mikey remembered the first time he came here, walking into that school and seeing Shredder kill all of his brothers, he closed his eyes and stood up.
"He's seeing things?" Scarlet said
"Yeah…And I know what he's talking about…I've seen them too" Mikey said
Don looked at the ground, feeling his brain pound against his skin, "What should we do with him?" He heard Scarlet say.
"I say we kill him already" Mikey said
Don exhaled in fear.
Mikey turned and looked at him, "It's getting worse" Mikey said
"Well do you have any idea how to stop it?" Scarlet asked
"MIKEY NO!" Don screamed
Mikey turned his head and looked at Don as he tried backing away closer to the wall, "It's getting way worse" Mikey said
Don watched as Mikey and Scarlet kept talking, "I say we slit his throat" Mikey said
Don closed his eyes, "None of this is real" He kept muttering under his breath
He opened his eyes and saw Mikey and Scarlet still looking at each other, and then Scarlet walked closer to him and placed her lips on his. They wrapped their hands around each other and pressed each other closer. Don didn't want to watch, but something was forcing him. Then he saw Mikey grab Scarlet's shirt and rip it off, revealing her breasts. Don clenched his eyes shut, and continued to mutter to himself.
Then his spine tingled when he heard moans and grunts. He felt his eyes forced open and saw Mikey positioned on top of Scarlet, mounting her. Don felt vomit make his way up to his throat as they continued to moan and slam into each other.
Don closed his eyes and forced the cuffs against the pipe, he clenched his teeth and grunted as he felt the cuff's dig into his skin, then the pipe broke and the cuffs escaped from behind the pipe. Don pushed himself up and began to sprint down the road, not turning around this time. He head the cuffs jingle as his hands where bound behind him. Then he looked up at a building and saw the person watching him start to follow him. He turned into an alley way and continued to run.
He ran in the darkness for about five minutes before the alley ended and lead him to a street he's never seen. He looked behind him and saw he was alone. He exhaled and looked around, he spotted a store that had the sign "City Hall" on it. He forced one foot to move and began to walk toward it.
He walked up the stairs and entered the building, seeing a desk and a bunch of trophies. He skimmed the trophies and read each one.
City of the year 1445
City of the year 1449
There was another City of the year trophy, but it was knocked over and broken, he read the plate and saw that the 'y' and 'r' in year had been scratched out, replacing them with 'D's. He shivered, then moved away from the trophies and moved to the other wall, labeled 'In memory of'.
He skimmed over the framed pictures of people who died, each picture came with a candle, but none of them were lit. He moved from picture to picture. Then he stopped at a picture, feeling his heart drop, he looked down at the plate.
Scarlet C.
1425-1449
He looked up at the picture and clearly saw the resemblance, then he looked down where the candle was and saw a paper with stuff written all over it. He read on of it.
"We will miss you"
"You're in a better place Scarlet"
"You will be missed"
Then one caught his eye, it seemed to have been scribbled on there.
"WHORE"
He stared in confusion at the paper, feeling his brain lash out in pain. Then he heard the door open and close, but he didn't turn around to look.
"Donnie?" He heard
He looked up, inhaled and turned around, seeing Mikey stand in the doorway.
"Oh my god it is you" Mikey said
Don gave him a weird look, "What?"
Mikey ran up to him and wrapped his arms around him, "I knew you would come back for me…I just knew it" He shouted, "I never thought I'd see you again, I missed you so much!"
"Mikey what are you talking about?" Don asked
Mikey stopped and moved away, looking at Don, "You are Don right" Mikey said
"Of course I'm Don" Don said
"Are you sure?" Mikey said
"Mikey…I'm Don…You would come to me at night when you have nightmares and I'd tell you how to make one of my inventions and you would fall right back to sleep…It's me" Don said
Mikey smiled and wrapped his arms around him again, "I had a feeling it was you, I thought for a second you might have been Coplan's creation when I first saw you talking to yourself, but you just must have been bored"
"Talking to myself?" Don said
"Yeah, you were having a in depth conversation with yourself"
"Mikey you're not making any sense" Don said
"Ok…So I was walking around on the buildings, looking for anything that could help me, then I heard a crash…I went to go check what it was and I saw a bus, then you walked out of it…At first I was happy and I wanted to see you…But then you started talking to yourself, and I got worried that it wasn't you…So I kept an eye on you, after a while I finally gathered the guts to see if it was you" Mikey said
"…That was you that was watching me from the building?" Don asked
"Yeah…I mean I would have come down when you were in the alley shooting the zombies, but I didn't know if you were the real Don, now I feel bad cause I didn't help you in the alley or when you were fighting that huge monster…But you managed to do it alone" Mikey said
"Alone?" Don said in confusion, "But I wasn't alone…You and Scarlet were there helping me"
Mikey gave him a strange look, "Scarlet? You mean that girl I found in the Asylum?"
"Yeah! You and her were with me while I fought the monster" Don said
"Don…no one was with you…I was watching you…You were alone the whole time" Mikey said
Didn't see that one coming did ya?
