Taken Away (A 2012 TMNT fanfic)

A Lost Spark

Authors note:
If anyones confused with this chapter, Mikey's thoughts are from what happened with them growing up, and what happened before he got kidnapped by Shredder.

Mikey's POV:
Ever since what happened with Shredder I haven't talked as much as I used to. I was afraid. Not only because of what Shredder has done but the multiple times my brothers have told me to shut up.

"Shut up Mikey! They're going to find us if you don't stop talking!"

"Pay attention Mikey!"

"Why wont you just shut up for once!"

Those were things that've been said in the past. I know I need to move on but it's hard. Especially when those kinds of things are hard to forget about.

The same thoughts are being repeated over and over again. Like a record player rewinding inside a T.V.

"Pay attention!"

"God I wish you'd shut up every once in a while!"

The spark in his eyes shimmered as the bright light that hung up in his room shined. His baby blue eyes started to water.

His vision started to get blurry from crying. Tears started falling down his face as he whimpered. Did his brothers truly want him to shut up?

'Maybe I should pay more attention and keep my mouth shut, would they be proud of me if I did?' My mind wandered with thoughts until a knock on my door interrupted them.'

"Mikey? Are you alright in there?" Donnie asked worriedly. "I-Im fine, don't worry about it." I said while wiping the water away from my teary eyes.

"I heard whimpering coming from your room, are you sure?" He sounded more concerned.

Why can't he just leave me alone? I thought I was annoying.

The spark from my eyes slowly started drifting away. I coughed up blood. I didn't even know Shredder injured me internally.

I stood up, my legs were shaking as I wobbled over to the door. I grabbed the handle and opened it. I wobbled over to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water.
