Feeling Blue

Chapter seven

Mikey's POV

It has been a month since the 'incident'.

I still can't believe it.

They want to forget about leo.

I was sitting in the living room watching Crognard when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see Sensei.

"Do you want to meditate with me my son?" Sensei asked.

I thought about it for while and nodded.

We both went to the dojo and sat down.

I don't meditate much but I thought why not give it a try.

"My son, today I will teach you a different type of meditation." Sensei said as he sat in a lotus pose.

Splinter's POV

I missed Leonardo, very much indeed.

But I knew that I had to help my family get back on their feet. They all were upset about losing Leonardo. And it was possible that if they did not stop thinking about their brother soon, they would each commit suicide.

That is why I asked them to forget about Leonardo. My two older son agreed but Michelangelo was upset.

We both haven't been seeing eye to eye for the past month. So I thought meditation would be the answer.

It was very clear that Michelangelo was very stressed, so I thought I would teach him Ochitsuite, an ancient meditative practice taught in the hamato clan for generations. It clears your mind and calms you down even under immense pressure.

I explained Ochitsuite to Michelangelo and we both started.

Leo's POV

It's been rough.

I barely get water or food.

Only the serum.

I had to calm down. So I decided to do Ochitsuite. It always calms me down.

I closed my eyes and tried to sit in a lotus pose, but I fell back hissing in pain. Both my legs were wounded.

I tried again. It did pain a lot but I managed to sit in a lotus pose and closed my eyes.

Mikey's POV

I sat down in a lotus pose and closed my eyes. Suddenly I found my self in a garden.

"Woah!" I said as Sensei spoke. "This is a place where you calm your mind. I will leave now, my son."

I nodded and Sensei disappeared.

I looked around. But suddenly my eyes fell on a turtle sitting under a tree. Tears filled my eyes as I walked towards the turtle.

"L...leo?" I said as my brother opened one of his eyes.

"Mikey!" He said opening both his eyes and running towards me.

We both hugged each other tight.

"I missed you so much!" Leo said as he hugged me.

"Y-you are a-alive! Or... Is it just the place trying to calm me down?" I asked him.

"No mikey. I am alive." He said as I hugged him tighter and my smile grew wider.

"But we saw you... The building... Fire..." I tried to say but choked in my tears.

Leo explained me everything from the day he got captured to now.

"B-but where can we find you?" I asked him.

"I am in-" leo said but suddenly disappeared.

"LEO!" I shouted but I lost focus and came back to the real world.

Leo's POV

I was about to tell mikey my location but I got hit on the head by tigerclaw and came back to real life.

"Trying to stay calm, huh?" He said hitting me on the head again.

I hissed in pain.

He was about to hit me on the head again but I caught his arms and threw him across the room.

"You little brat!" He said and lifted me up by my left arm.

My arm was paining like hell when he lifted me.

I did not scream not wanting him to feel the pleasure.

He grabbed machete and stabbed my shoulder.

"AHHHH!" I screamed, I couldn't help it. It pained soo bad.

Tigerclaw dropped me to the ground with the machete still in my shoulder.

He walked towards the exit and left me in the room.

I was loosing too much blood. I was about to pass out any second. The last thing I saw before passing out was Stockman entering the room.
