Back to New York! (2nd)

Twisted fingers and Cursed words

Where am I? Why’s it so dark? What happened to me? I remember….so very little….I was on a date, ruefully thinking of Raph and than nothing. Kylee’s thoughts echoed everywhere, pounding in her ears more than her head. She pushed herself to a sitting position Help me! Raph save me! Kylee heard her own voice say, but…she hadn’t spoken….Kylee stood up weakly, holding her head. “HOLY HELL! WHY AM I NAKED?” She cried out in disgust, covering herself. “Hello? I hope nobody’s around, I gotta find something to wear…anything around?....uh…uh….” Kylee looked around for a robe or something, finding a thin on the ground. Raph! Help me! She heard again.

“Ho-”

“Because that’s what you’re thinking. Pleading for Raphael, the turtle, to come save you. Hahaha, how pitiful”

Kylee turned around after tying the robe closed. There stood a man with greasy black hair and cold, cruel, burning eyes. He was wearing a stainless white shirt, solid black jeans and a pair of dress shoes. “Um, do you know where I am?”

“Funny, not usually the first thing I hear. I’m not one for fooling people into false elusions. My dear, you’re in your mind or at least the darkest abyss of it. Stupid girl.” He chuckled

Right now, Kylee didn’t feel brave enough to retaliate from him calling her stupid. She felt rather timid and vulnerable, so she did well to hold her tongue. “Um, what’s your name?” she asked, pulling her robe closer to her. The man chuckled a cruel chuckle, making Kylee’s spine shiver. She got a horrid, wretched feeling from this man. She felt the need to run but where would she?

“I’m called Jeremy. You’re very unusual aren’t you? Most people in your situation start to run at this time, but unlike them you have more sense it seems, seeing as there’s nowhere to run” He said approaching her, Kylee took a step back. “I can feel you growing more and more afraid, I can see anything and everything here, you can’t hide anything from me Kylee”

RAPH! HELP ME! The thought passed through the mind like an earth quake, making Kylee lose her balance and fall forwards. She leapt back as he caught her, “Damn, you skin….you’re so cold.”

“My, my-aren’t we entertaining?” he said, pulling her back towards him. Kylee fought against his touch, but she felt as if all her strength had been drained from her. “So innocent, yet tainted. Ignorant, yet knowing. I find you very appealing Miss Cook.”

Kylee tried to change the subject, afraid of where that thought would go. “Um, if you know everything in here, why am I naked?”

“Truly I don’t know. It’s happened in every mind I’ve ever entered, for some reason you just are”

“Um…Jeremy…You kind of in my personal space” Kylee’s voice quivered as the guy got closer to her face, his eyes slightly closed and a hungry smile on his face.

 “I can’t understand how you could fall for a freak like that turtle you’re so attached to. Why didn’t you fall for a human? You're too beautiful for a mutant” He breathed, looking into her eyes. Kylee grew genuinely scared now…she couldn’t remember what she’d learned from Raph! None of her ninja training was with her and with her strength gone… “He seemed real enough to me. Species shouldn’t matter.”

“But shouldn’t blood?” He laughed, his lips too close to hers for comfort, “He’s cold blooded after all, heart and anatomy. You’re warm blooded, warm skinned;human"

“I….I…I didn’t care.” She said as he was about to plant a kiss. Jeremy backed off and laughed harshly, still gripping her firmly. Kylee tried to fight against his arms. Where was her strength? Had…had she ever had it? She felt reality slipping away from her. All that was, all that would be-she could see any of it unless it was here, what’s going on?
