Danielle's p.o.v
Casey wakes me up around 10 o'clock by laying on top of me and refusing to get off until I'm fully awake. He's so annoying sometimes.. but I still love him.
He leaves the bedroom first. I change my clothes and wash my face to help me wake up. After about ten minutes I walk out to the kitchen to meet Casey.
"How are you feeling?" Casey asks me while eating his cereal.
"I don't know. Kinda like me, kinda not." I say. I really don't know how I feel though. It's definitely not like myself though. I've never felt like this that's for sure. We talk a bit more as I sit down with my breakfast.
We walk down to the sewers after we both finish eating. I could tell Casey was worried about me and to tell you the truth
I was too. I didn't tell Casey though, I told him there was nothing to worry about I just had a temper, which isn't a lie. But deep down I know something wasn't right with me.
That poor guy, I brutally killed him. I couldn't stop punching him. I've never done anything like that to a person. I didn't even know I was strong enough to hold him down and do that, that guy was really big, by his looks he looked much stronger then me.
I don't like people worrying about me even if there is something wrong. I think the turtles or Splinter will be able to help.
I stop myself from thinking because it's only making everything worse. As we walk through the sewers Casey turns to talk to me after a long silenced walk.
"Hey Dani- oh my god!" He yells as he puts his hands on my shoulder.
"What!?" I match his tone.
"Your eyes!"
"What about my eyes Casey?"
Silence.
"Casey." I say again. "What is wrong." I say. "Your scaring me."
He pulls on my arm and starts to run.
"They turned red." He says as he's pulling on me.
Tears stream down my face. I don't even dare to say anything. I mean what can I say? Something is definitely wrong with me. Shredder must have done something to me.... but what?
Casey pushes the door openly quickly and loudly and all four turtles and Splinter shoot up.
"WHAT THE HELL DUDES!?" Mikey yells.
I look at him with shock. 'Where did that come from I've never heard him talk like that.' I think. But that thought is quickly shortened by Casey telling the turtles of my situation.
Splinter immediately comes over to me and holds my hands. I look over his shoulders to the turtles and they all look anxious.
"Look at my eyes Danielle." He says and I do so. A worried expression comes over his face.
"We need to do tests on you."
"Wha- what do you mean by tests? What's wrong with me?" I ask him nervously as we are already walking to the lab. All turtles and Casey follow.
"Shredder put something in you and we need to see what it is doing to you." He says sitting me down. My heart starts pounding a mile a minute and I have tears in my eyes I quickly wipe away. I try to look strong.
"What did he put in me?" I say quietly. Nervous of the answer.
"Mutagen." He stats flately. My eyes widen and I look over at the turtles. They and gasp and get very, very worried. Mutagen is what made them what they are, Splinter also.
"What the hell is that." Casey says loudly over the silence.
He gets no response as Splinter and Donnie start to hook me up to machines. I don't bother to ask what they do.
"What the hell is Mutagen?" Casey says with the same tone and loudness.
"Mutagen made us Mutants." Leo stats.
"What so Danielle is going to become one of you?" He says madly.
"Not necessarily." Raph says.
"Yeah Mutagen does diffrent things do diffrent people." Donnie adds.
Casey's face just screams worry and I feel bad. 'I feel bad for making him worry. I feel bad. I feel bad. I feel bad.' This is all I can say in my head. 'What if I turn into some monster, Casey won't want me then. My life will be over if this takes over me.'
I thought we would be together for a along time, maybe even forever. I did love Casey but I'm not sure if he feels that strongly for me, I mean we did only meet not too long ago. But I really feel a connection between us, when you know you know. I want to be with him forever. But, I'm not only in love with him, I'm in love with everything about him, like his personality and how he acts. He's overall perfect in my eyes.
Splinter calls for the turtles besides Donnie to leave the room, he also tells Casey to too. Casey kisses on on my forehead and leaves. He mouths 'stay strong' before he leaves.
The tests start and I hold Donnie's hand. He's always been the most caring turtle. He's so welcoming and easy to talk to. He was the turtle I become closest with first.
I close my eyes the entire time and it takes forever for Splinter to get the right tests done. They obviously don't have the best tools and junk for this type of stuff but Donnie has created a few machines that should work nicely.
Splinter says he's done after what seemed likr hours and starts to turn the machines off. Donnie takes off everything that I was hooked up too and sits me up.
"Okay how is everything? What were you exactly looking for?" I turn to Splinter.
He looks at the screen and shakes his head.
"I was hoping this wasn't the case." He says.
"Um what?" I say. Donnie walks over and looks at the screen. He looks at Splinter who nods then they both turn to me.
"The Mutagen is eating away at a part in your body. It's making you feel agressive most of the time and the Mutagen could be giving you super strength as well. The red eyes.. well that may be a side effect just like the strength. But it's odd they go away and come back." Splinter says. "Your body is trying to fight back, and it's going a good job of it. It might be because he only put a small amount in you and it might be the cause of your eyes turning red then turning normal" Donnie adds.
I sit in silence while they speak, then I speak up after they are.done.
"What does this mean for my life?" I say lowering my voice and my head.
"I'm not sure." Donnie says.
