Day Ninety-seven.
Mike stared down at his brothers unconscious form; Mikey was twitching inside and out. His gaze occasional drifted to the nearby scalpel before he ripped his eyes away from the deadly sharp instrument created solely for the purpose of cutting g flesh.
'Mikey…' The voice of the shadow drifted to him and he knew it was behind him 'Come on Mikey, you know you want to…' It almost sang.
"No, no I won't do it!" Mikey growled at it and frantically shook his head in an attempt to rid himself of the malicious shadow.
He tensed up feeling an almost translucent hand on his shoulder 'Just do it Mikey, do away with him before he does away with you.'
"Shut up, go away." Mikey said past clenched teeth.
'It'll be easy…' It soothed 'You don't even have to use the scalpel, just smother him with the pillow, he won't even feel it, he's too out of it and theres too much morphine in his system.'
"No!" Mikey shouted; why wouldn't it leave him alone? He was not going to kill his brother!
'It's now or never Mikey…' It just about purred 'The other two won't suspect a thing; just tell them that he overdosed on morphine and you found him too late. The only one who will be left knowing the truth is Stockman-Stein, and he's far too loyal to you to let that tidbit of information out.'
Unconsciously, Mikey's hands as if on impulse reached to the pillow.
'That's it.' The shadow encouraged 'Think about how he just stood there and let Leonardo beat you. Remember how he did nothing as you were exiled from your family, how he made no move to help you as you slowly lost your mind. If he had only done something, I would not be here today…'
Mike suddenly realized he had the pillow posed just inches away from his olive-colored brother, with that in mind he panicked. In a quick move he pulled the pillow away from Donatello and instead chucked it at the shadow behind him. Suffice to say the pillow went right through the shadow.
The ninja glared at the shadow, shaking from the fear of what he had almost done.
"Leave!" Mikey demanded and grabbed the scalpel in a threatening manner.
The shadow laughed its horrible laugh "Oh Michaelangelo, you cannot kill me; I'm a projection of your insanity. As long as your living, breathing, and crazy; so am I."
Nevertheless Mikey threw the scalpel at it anyways, the scalpel went through it and the shadow disappeared.
Fearfully, he looked back at his helpless, unconscious brother. Why had he tried to do that?! How could he try to murder his own brother?
Guilty, Mikey looked to the pillow that he had almost used to suffocate Doc with 'I… I almost really did it,' he shakily realized mentally 'I almost tried to kill Doc.'
Before he knew it, Mike started to break down; he crouched don shakily onto the floor, body spasming with panic, tears rolling down his face 'I really am crazy! I'm a monster! An insane monster!'
He glanced back at Doc 'I have to stay away from him, away from him and all of my brothers! I can't risk it, I might actually hurt them, I'm insane, I'm dangerous, I'm a monster…'
He'd have to stay away from them; he didn't care if hed never see them again as long as they were safe from him. Stockman-Stein would take care of Doc until he was feeling better, but Mikey would have to stay away from him, all of them.
Day Ninety-Eight.
At the Green Ninja, nighttime.
"..An' she ain't seen him since." El finished telling Leo how Renet had earlier today told him that Doc had been sick for several days before running out of the Lair and disappearing.
"I hope Doc's okay, but he should be fine since I haven't found pain that traced back to him." Leo said, serving El another shot.
El nodded and kicked the shot back.
"Speaking of our brothers safety, Angel called me and told me she's worried about Mikey. He's refusing to see anyone right now, and even when he goes places he sneaks around to do so."
"Who da fuck cares?" El growled "Let dat maniac do what he wants!" Leo cringed at the anger, but it was understood. A month ago, Mikey had played on the cruelest prank he could think of. He faked his own death and has his ninja's inform them and take them to a warehouse. After El broke down crying, Mike rose up from the coffin and just started laughing at them.
After ranting to his broken hearts content, El said to Mikey that if he ever saw his 'crazed, evil, traitorous face' ever again, he would take his said and skewer his cracked brain once and for all, then told Mikey that he wished he had died in the rain. For once, Mikes insane barriers broke and looked as if he had contemplated his actions for once before he used a smoke-bomb to disappear.
El remained mad at Mikey, and Leo knew that their insane brother still felt rather guilty about it. But Leo still felt as if that rant was deserved, Mikey's insane pranks needed to be stopped, since he had already gone too far by faking his own death.
"What th' fuck a' you doin' here?" A new voice arose; El turned around and his amber eyes behind his scarf narrowed when he saw Casey Jones, his ex-friend.
"Havin' a drink, what do it look like?" El growled back.
Leo immediately took a huge step back. El and Casey had a falling back about three years ago, and now they were as bitter as enemies as good as they had once been friends. What exactly happened Leo was not sure, but he did now that El's life as a somewhat criminal loanshark and Casey's life as a vigilante clashed in a really bad way.
"Get th' fuck outta here!" Casey roared; the drunken crowd around them took no heed.
"It's a public place." El scoffed.
"Yea? Well it's my business an' lawful right to refuse ya service!"
"Oooh, neva' thought a gorilla knew such big words!"
"I'm givin' ya three seconds before I kick ya ass!"
Leo cringed and continued to obsessively rub a glass with a dry cloth as if a genie would pop out and grant him his wish that this argument was no happening. After a ten-minute shouting match, El finally left the Green Ninja, fuming.
Casey didn't say anything to Leo, even if he didn't like El he respected that even though Leo was his employee El was still his brother.
"Asshole." Casey growled at El's dark, retreating form. Leo offered no comment.
I'm really sorry I didn't update the way I used to, but after my laptop being out for so long updating just isn't part of my routine so I'm trying to fix that :)
