Alcoholism

Chapter Seven True Insanity

I walked up the steps slowly with sweat trickling down my skin. And as the door creaked open. My brothers. April and Casey. All looked at me. Like they didn't know me. Like I had changed. I saw Mikey whisper to raph. Then raph knocked him on his head. My ears were ringing so loud I couldn't hear anything at all. My knees started to buckled and my eyes started to droop. Then I started to fall. And so I did. With a glimpse of them all running towards me. Is what i saw before being overrun by complete and total darkness.

I was floating. No gravity. No earthly limitations. Nothing. "What is going on?!" I said. There was no sky. No ground. No earth. No water. Just. Darkness. I tried to move in desperation. But how could I? When there was nothing to grab or stand on? "I must be in some sort of nightmare." But then I saw faded visions. And flashbacks. The killing. The burial. How it all happened.

When me and the guys first moved here when New York got mutated. April felt that something was off about the house. And she's always right. But we saw no such threat in the house. So we carried along and moved in. But something felt off. It was always cold. And I would see a figure in the corner of my eye every night. It was a teenage girl. That looked similar to april but with blonde hair instead. She would always laugh at me. So one night I followed her. Out of my bedroom. Down the stairs. And into the woods. It was pitch dark that night. I remember saying. "What am I even doing out here?" So I turned around. And she was right there in front of me. "Hello Donatello." She spoke to me. I got so scared I fell to the ground. She laughed at me joyfully and helped me up. She looked faded yet I could touch her. It didn't make any sense. "Who are you?" I said. She sighed. "I'm April's sister." I was so shocked. I denied it. "No your not! April doesn't have a sister!" I yelled. "She doesn't know about me." She said. She started speaking again as she turned her back to me. For I felt she was crying as she told me the story. "When the Kraang invaded our home. I was a little kid. Even younger than april. But I don't remember much. But I do remember the kraang taking me up as one of there own. Experimenting on me. Until one day. One of there experiments went horribly wrong..." She stopped and sobbed for a moment. I put my hand on her shoulder. She flung it off. And turned around to me quickly. "The kraang locked me up here! Please help me. Your the only one I've seen in years! And april can not see me at all! I'm faded but still visible on earth!" She said and before I could say anything else she said. "I'm locked away in pergatory." Even my brain could not comprehend the complexity of the situation.

We stood silent for a moment then she finally said. "Kill me Donatello." I was shocked again. "What..." I said softly. Then she screamed it in my face again. "Kill me!" "I--" I started. Then leo walked up. "Donnie!" He stopped. "Donnie?" I must have ben as white as a human because he looked deathly scared. He walked towards me. He couldn't see April's sister either. So I breathed and chuckled a little. "I'm okay leo. But. Your not gonah believe this." And when i told leo he told me. "Stop lying." Then April's sister tapped him on his shoulder and he almost passed out. But I caught him in time. "Leo!" I snapped him awake.

I'm not sure how long we were out there. But. We did what he had to do. I took one katana. And he took the other. And we stabbed April's sister to death. Putting her out of her misery. And she faded to life again when her soul was no longer imprisoned. It was the one time I've seen leo cry. And I did as well. And if burying her and killing her wasn't enough. It was sunrise when we were finished. April came looking for us. Found blood on the katana's on the ground. And she knew what we had done.
