HER EYES CHANGE AND SO DOES SHE

Chapter 16; "Where is Tsukiko?"

        I was dreaming. Floating around in an endless limbo as I searched for light. I felt awake but all I could see was darkness around me. What was going on?

        "The one known as the human was mutated to perfection as the humans would call it." a voice interrupted my thoughts. Mutated? Did he mean me? Like was he talking about me mutating? My vision remained black as I waited patiently for answers.

        "Yes the one known as Kranng has observed the one known as human." a similar voice filled my head.

        I suddenly saw light crawling around in my tiny limbo as I floated towards an exit. An exit in limbo? That is strange seeing as limbo's are suppose to be inescapable. I tried my best to urge my dream self forward as I struggled against the black pulling me back. Finally at last I was surrounded by white light. Soon the white light was filled with shadows peering over me.

        My eyes slowly pulled open as I saw two Kranng bots peer down at me. I stayed still instantly due to fear. I hadn't known what they did to me and I was terrified to find out. I slowly sat up from my uncomfortable position on the ground and stretched my sore, aching limbs.

         I looked around to see I was back in the room and that the Kranng robots were placed safely outside. If they were inside I would have killed them due to the pain they pushed on me.

        Wait! Tsukiko was in one of those chamber things. What if she felt what I felt? Is she okay? Where is she?

        I stood quickly and ran to the window. I banged on the glass with a tight closed fist at one of there heads but it did nothing.

        "Where is Tsukiko?" I said firm. "Give me my cat back!" I screamed to them as I banged on the glass. They simply continued to analyze me.

        "Hey! I asked you a fucking question!" I screamed. I felt my eye go a death of a green and my other go a navy blue. Wait. I had a blue eye? I could feel my blue eye change with the fear, anger, and panic. Why did I have a blue eye? I have green eyes not one green eye and one blue eye. I gulped and finally looked down at my appearance. My jeans were in place along with my shoes but when I looked at my hands I noticed my nails were sharpened and pointed.

        I growled in frustration but felt teeth against my lips. Not regular teeth, cat like fangs lined my gums. I felt my eyes go pale as I examined the rest of my body. I turned to see a-a tail! I had a fucking tail! A tail! Why the hell did I have a huge, fluffy, and auburn tail? I reached up slowly as I felt my ears slide back in anger, the only problem with that was human ears don't slide. I finally felt the furry ears where my old human ones use to be. Oh you have got to be kidding me.

        They started up a little higher and were large like bowls, okay not that big but they were huge to me. My now blue eye twitched in aggravation. I face palmed hard and slid my hand down my face and past the whiskers that sat close to my nose and on my cheeks.

        I collapsed in a corner in defeat. They turned me into a cat/human freak. Oh my poor Tsukiko, where are you?

        The next few hours were testing my new abilities. It turned out I am extremely flexible. I know because I could finally do the splits and it was even painless, bonus. I grew on the fact of two different colored eyes which were kind of cool. My ears were more precise and I played with those as I timed Kranng bots to walk down the halls from the DNA contraption thing which might I add a long long walk. Each one took about five minutes to reach me and then walk past.

        Many people, animals, and unknown sounds cried out in either pain, despair, or anger. I was of all three; Pain because I missed my friends and school, despair because I had my doubts of getting out of here, and anger because my cat is trapped and lonely and I need to find her and save her. Finally I grew bored as I became well acquainted with my new abilities.

        "Tsukiko!" I cried desperately to her as I was against the window. I heard a faint yell out off all of the noises. I pressed my ear closer only to discover it was my name.

        "Tsukiko! I hear you!" I yelled as loud as I could. In a rush I ran to the door and began hitting it and banging on it to get to her. If she mutated then I would still love her. She is family and family is never forgotten. I banged on the door and yelled her name as I tried my best to get to her, but nothing came and I was rendered useless.

        I was useless in saving her. She was somewhere I didn't know, in a place where I cannot locate, and alone where I couldn't help her. I went to the corner and weaped silently. My life was over now. I could'y return to school, I would be outcasted and most likely turned into the police for how I am. I couldn't call for help because as of now, no one would come.

        How can someone be so useless? As of now, I am a freak occupying space that could be for someone who wasn't a freak. I could disappear right now and it would be better for everybody even Tsukiko. She was my family, best friend, and she gave me hope. My poor best friend was lost.

        My shoulders ached without her small weight. My heart ached so much right now. I want the turtles, April, Sensei, Tsukiko, and my dad to be with me. I want them here in this saddening room to be with me so I don't lose them.

        What was going to happen after this? My life is over because of what I am. I am a freak and I am sticking with that. Maybe the turtles will accept me, if the Kranng decide to keep me for that long. As of now I am disposable.

        "So hate me for the things I've done, not for what I have become." the line from Reincarnate from Motionless In White popped in my head. I began humming it sadly as it somehow eased me in my pain. I laid down and hummed it as it also soothed me. I slowly stopped humming and sung it in my mind. Soon enough the little voice stopped and so did I. Instead I was in a cold dark dream that came easy to me.

        You're a monster. A dark voice filled my head and as soon as it came it left when I finally submerged in the final thoughts filled with monsters. What a way to fall asleep.

        Slowly I awoke with a clattering noise. It was almost complete darkness but I could see fine. That didn't come from being a cat, that came from me being me. I looked around to find the source but found only food. Food! I sprinted to the food and ate hungered. Even though it was bread made of cardboard and soup made of water, I still craved it.

         It was the first food I had sense I left the turtles lair which easily had to be a few days. Bad mistake to think about the turtles. I missed them with a pain in my heart. I finished quickly as I basically licked the bowl clean. I drank my water that came with the food and soon found myself in the corner again.

        I need to escape and fins Tsukiko, but I am a freak people will think of me weird. Wait, since when have I cared about what people think? Since I've gown ears and a tail, oh and don't forget the whiskers! Maybe they don't look bad? I am a human how else would they look other than stupid, ridiculous, freaky, and monstrous? Although cat costumes look nice, wait, it isn't a cat costume!

        My head continued to struggle with the war of how I felt but sleep soon came to my rescue and put me out of my missery. I wish dad was here. He would know exactly what to do. He always loved me even with freaky eyes which he only knew about. I miss him so much. Daddy I want to be with you.
