Woah, chapter twenty-one already?!
Chapter Twenty-One: Oh shell...
Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the ledge of the roof, looking downwards. I clenched my fists, preparing for the numb feeling to take over.
But before I can do anything, familiar voices yelled from behind me...
"Mikey! What are you doing?!"
My three brothers all yelled at once, sounding both angry and terrified.
Oh shell...
I quickly whirled around, eyes wide when they landed on them; all standing a dozen feet away, just having come out from behind a electrical box on the roof.
They never did go back to the Lair!
I KNEW something wasn't right, when Leo acted so calm about letting me go off on my own. They must have hid the crates somewhere and then followed me!
"Oh, hi dudes!!" I cheer, surprised look turning into a happy one. I enthusiastically waved, putting on a large grin.
Please don't think I was gonna jump or something...!
"Mikey, what the shell are you doing?!" Raph demanded, stomping towards me.
"We allowed you to apparently go off on your own because we wanted to see what you're really up to, and we see this? What were you going to do??" Leo questioned, sounding more curious then mad.
Before I could answer either of them, Raph spoke up once more.
"Did you expect to fly across the rooftops or something?!" He threw his arms in the air, an exasperated look on his face.
Um, yeah actually...
I started to back away from Raph's angry approach, only to realize that I was on the ledge of a rooftop. Yeah, definitely not a good idea then.
I laugh nervously, jumping back onto the roof.
"No, obviously not Raph," I began, the lie for some reason amusing me.
"I just thought I heard a stray cat, so I was looking down into the alley to see where it was. Icecream Kitty could always use a new friend!~" I grin, giving them a cheery thumbs up.
Suddenly, the lightness of the world around me seemed to dim even more.
It felt as if my movements were in slow motion, and my brothers voices were seeming faded, more quiet then ever before.
"As if we need more pets. You'd have it mutated within the first week!" Raph grumbled, rolling his eyes.
Deciding to momentarily ignore the weird happenings, I clenched my fists.
"Would not!" I protested, glaring at him.
"Would to!" He challenged, taking a threatening step forward.
"Guys, calm down!" Donnie spoke up, stepping in between us.
He held his hands in the air, something that made me worry for his safety; who knew, Raph might decide to throw him ten feet into the air.
Again...
"Let's just go back to the Lair. We hid the crates a few alleys away." Leo stepped away from us, turning around.
My movements once more seemed as if I was walking through water. Me and Raph stepped forward to follow him, but stopped in our tracks when Donnie said something.
"Mikey, are you okay?"
We all looked at him, tipping our heads in question. Donnie narrowed his eyes, studying me.
"Yeah, I'm fine D! Why do you ask?" I questioned.
I almost shivered at the way my voice seemed so faded, so terribly distant and unreal.
When I spoke, everyone immediately gave me a weirded out expression. They were all now facing me, looking extremely confused.
"Are you sure you're okay? Why does your voice sound like that?" Leo asked, narrowing his eyes.
Before I can ask what he means, Raph takes a step toward me.
"Yeah, like... Instead of annoyingly happy and energetic, it's distant and quiet and stuff. Even just now when you would usually be yelling those words." He pointed out, crossing his arms.
"And you're so... PALE." He added, raising his eye ridges.
I look down at my arms, surprised that I had faded even more within the past few minutes. Even my shell, weapons, and ninja gear were starting to become the same condition.
So this isn't a trick of the light. But why is it happening...?
Can a normal sickness really work this fast?? Wait, normal sickness doesn't even make things you're wearing so pale also!
My mind swirled with countless possibilities, none of which seemed right. Confusion filled my mind, and all my senses seemed even more crowded then before.
"Mikey!"
Suddenly, the world turned black... And I drifted into unconsciousness.
