The Travelers Wish (The Wattys 2016)

Chapter 10

I was back in the long white hallway.

Soft plush robe and all.

There she was seated like a gypsy princess atop a white table.

"Hello your... Umm majesty"

She smiled.

"There you are child, I was wondering how long it would take you to find me."

"Why do you keep calling me that, I'm 16 you know."

I said

"Ha ha, child I am older then the sun, all mortals are children to me."

Then her tone changed.

"Frankly I'm a bit disappointed at your progress so far."

"You've been watching me?"

I asked

"Peeking would better describe it, and I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet."

What is she talking about.

"Figured what out yet?"

The room was starting to fade.

"Will power child, you can do more then you think."

The word will power echoed in my mind as the white room faded completely to the dark.

I remember, being slightly woken by the feeling of a blanket being placed on me.

Then I faded back into a deep dreamless sleep.

__________________________

I was woken by the sound of clanking metal.

I opened my eyes half expecting it to be the sound of tent poles being loaded onto the trailers.

No, I was still underground in the turtles lair, a warm but tattered red blanket covering me.

I smiled happily and sat up.

"Again!" I heard Master Splinter voice Resinate from the next room over.

The training room I assumed.

The clanking sound resumed.

I looked around, Michelangelo and Donatello were sitting at the table.

Donnie was busy typing away on his home made junkyard special laptop, while Mikey was rapidly cramming some sort of food into his mouth with a spoon.

"Good morning guys"

I got up and stretched my arms over my head.

Donnie looked up from the screen.

"Hey"

Michelangelo just nodded, obviously not wanting to talk with his mouth full.

I probably look like shit, I thought to myself while running my fingers through major bed head.

It would be pointless to ask for a brush since my hosts are bald amphibians.

Maybe splinter might have one, but that would be awkward to ask.

My stomach growled.

Iv always been a slave to my appetite.

"Do you have any Human Food, i mean anything but algae and worms?"

Mikey swallowed and looked embarrassed.

"You know about that?"

I just laughed and headed to the table.
