Second Story in the Dream Series

Author's note: Ahh, finally! I know the chapters for this story are short. Bare with me! This story's hard to write and i like to leave a little suspence!What IS happening to Mikey? Hopefully you'll find out in time!By the way, this chapter WILL have references to Mixing Dreams and Reality. They ARE part of a series! But I still left a lot in the open about that due to the first is still in progress.I hope you like it! Lot's of angsty and hurt-ish Mikey moments! This story will have moments where it is seen in Raph's POV (it will be in third person and past tense then to imply it already happened...).

Disclaimer: Don't own 'em. I only own Dr. Elias Svone and the plot!

Raph pulled out his shell cell as he watched Mikey shake slightly on the infirmary bed. He pressed the button to call Leo and waited impatiently for him to answer.

"What's going on, Raph?" Leo asked as he answered his cell.

"You guys need ta get back here," Raph said, "Something's wrong wit' Mikey."

"What happened?"

"He just got sick all o' a sudden, I don't know!" He said. There was a pause where Leo handed the cell to Donny.

"Tell me his symptoms," Donny said.

"He started shakin' and I think he tried ta say somethin', but I couldn't undastand 'im. I don't think he noticed any of dis. Then I think he got dizzy and collapsed. He was still shakin' and he began screamin' in pain as I was carryin' 'im ta da bed in da infirmary. He may even had trouble breathin' right. He's unconscious now. I don't know what ta do!" Raph was pacing, but he couldn't remember when he started. He tried to calm his anxiety and slammed his fist into the wall.

"I've never heard of anything with all those symptoms…" Donny said after a minute. "I'll hafta look at him when we get there. Just keep an eye on him 'til then, alright?"

"Sure," Raph grunted. He flipped the cell closed and looked back over at his youngest brother.

I slowly open my eyes and look around. Great! I'm in the infirmary again! I'm really starting to get bored of this place.

"How're ya feelin' Mike?" I hear Raph ask me and I turn towards him. He's standing next to the bed.

"Why am I here again?" I ask him, ignoring his question.

"Don'tcha remember?" Raph asks.

"We were sparring and then…ah…" I say, trying to remember. "What happened after that? No, better question: how long have I been in here?"

"Mikey, you got sick all o' a sudden," Raph says, "Donny doesn't know what it was. He looked it up on da 'net. He even called LH! He found nu'in'."

"Well it's gone now," I say as move to get off the bed. Raph pushes me back.

"Don said not to get up before he comes back," Raph says.

"Well I don't care what Don says anymore!" I say, "I don't want to be here anymore! I'm tired of hearing what I can and can't do!"

"Calm down, Mikey," Raph says. I try to get up again, but Raph's still holding me down.

"Let me go!" I say as I struggle against him. "LET ME GO!"

"No," He says, "Not until you calm down." Leo and Donny run into the room then and my gaze instantly turn to them.

"What's going on?" Donny asks.

"He wants ta leave da infirmary," He says, "I told 'im he couldn't and he started freakin' out." I'm right here, Raph!

"I am NOT freaking out!" I yell, "I just wish you guys would just leave me alone! I'm fine! Whatever happened before is gone now!"

"Mikey, don't be ridiculous," Donny says, shaking his head.

"Shut the shell up, Donny!" I say. My brothers all look at me in shock.

"Fine, I'm gone," Donny breaks the stunned silence and then stomps out of the room.

"Donny, wait!" Leo says as he follows him, leaving me alone with Raph again.

"What's come over you lately, Mikey?" Raph asks me.

"Go away," I say, grumpily, as I turn away from him.

"Mikey…"

"GO AWAY RAPH!" I yell before he can finish, "I just want to be left alone. Why won't anyone leave me alone?"

Raph watched as Mikey slowly drifted off to sleep before he left the room. He found Donny and Leo sitting on the couch and he walked up to the two of them. "You alright?" He asked Don. He nodded as Raph sat on the other side of him.

"What about Mikey?" Leo asked.

"Sleeping," Raph said.

"He's starting to sound like I did before…" Donny said, but he couldn't finish.

"Before that stupid nightmare freak showed his ugly face!" Raph said as he took out one of his sais and started twirling it in agitation. Raph knew Donny was still not over his capture by Dr. Elias Svone, the dream nut that actually managed to give him dreams. Donny never told them what he dreamed. All he said was that Svone was using him to see the future.

"Well Svone's gone," Leo said.

"Good riddance," Raph grunted.

"It's probably just whatever was making him sick before," Leo said, "That's all."

"Maybe…" Donny said, slowly.

As soon as Raph leaves the room, I get up and peak out my door. I didn't mean to say that to Donny. I don't know where that came from. Maybe something is wrong with me. I rub my hand, lightly, against my left arm. The one that felt like it was burning before. A slight tingle travels up my arm at the touch and wince. That's weird… I'll worry about that later. That nightmare I had. What did it mean? I hadn't had a real nightmare for a while now and now I'm having them again? The lights were so bright in that dream. I wish I could have at least seen something. Maybe I could understand them better.

I walk back towards the bed, but I stop before I reach it. The corners of my vision had suddenly gotten very fuzzy. I shake it off, hoping it will just go away, but it doesn't. My arm starts burning again and it seems the shadows are reaching for me. What's happening to me? I try not to scream to alert my brothers. I'm fine, I can handle this. That was until I collapsed to my knees, my whole body shaking uncontrollably. I feel sick to my stomach and I don't know why. Maybe Donny was right. I should've stayed in the bed…

…"Keep him still, keep him still! I don't want him moving!" Arms struggle to hold me down, but I still manage to move under them.

"Let me go!" I yell, my voice slightly high-pitched.

"Shut up, freak!" Someone says, slapping me hard across the face.

"Don't mark him!" Someone else yells, "I don't want him to have any marks on him at all! We do not have to harm him. He's just a child."

"Who are you?" I ask, "Whaddaya want wit' me?" I wish someone would turn the lights off. It's too bright!

"If you want to keep him quiet, just gag him already!" The man says again. An icky cloth is shoved into my mouth. It feels gross against my tongue and I wish they would take it back out.

"What do you want this freak for anyway, boss?"

"Just a little experiment," The evil boss-man says. Tears start falling down my face. Where are my brothers? Where is my father? Will anyone save me from the bad men?

Author's note: Left ya off with a little Nightmare there! What do you think?Hopefully chapters will get longer when I get past all this story-builder stuff. REVIEW!
