204 P.O.V

I woke up to having a aching back, i yawned and looked around. No one of course. I sighed softly and began to get up, stretching my arms and legs due to being confined to the couch. I wish I could sleep in an actual bed but at least sleeping on the couch is better than the floor. I immediately went on to look around for Raph's brothers and him of course.  I searched through the kitchen and their rooms until I stumbled on one bedroom I never saw before. Curiosity took over me and I opened the sliding doors , I entered in and looked around, there was a bed, neatened to perfection, it was dusty that's for sure. Anyone who had once slept here hasn't been in this room in a long time. I then saw a pile of boxes one out of place, I went over to it and opened it, curious of what it contains. Photos were in there, photos of Raph and his brother and...me? I don't remember any of this. The only photos I was in were when we were children and from then on I wasn't in there. I noticed that there was one that had me, Raph, his brothers, and someone else...who was he? Was he the residence of this room? I looked down at the frame and picked it up, seeing all the details it had. "What are you doing in here?!" the voice startled me and I dropped the frame, shattering on the ground. I looked up to the voice who had spoken to realize it was Raph. "S-sorry..." I murmured softly. "What were you thinking!? you can't just come in like this is your place!!! Look at what you just did! you broke our picture!!" he screamed with pure anger, I coward from him, whimpering due to the fear of being hit by him. I always see him hitting his brother and I assume he'll do the same thing to me. "Get out. Now." He snarled. I quickly left and headed to the living room. His brothers -mainly Donnie- were already there and were shaking their heads. "Why did we even bother saving you when all you cause is trouble. You really don't appreciate what we do for you, do you? I mean ever since you came to live with us all you've caused is trouble and you always will." Donnie scoffed. "Stop it Donnie. He didn't know it was.....his room." Mikey said gently. Donnie rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Whatever you say Mikey. Just know I was right and should get rid of that pesky experiment." He growled. My eyes widen as I began to panic. I didn't mean to cause trouble not to them not to Raph...not to anyone. But I can't get anything right. "Stop it  Donnie. Now." Mikey threatened him. Tears rolled down, but I didn't try to let out a sound or a whimper. "Taking.....walk." I said softly in a broken tone. I quickly left not wanting to be a burden to them, I kept walking not really knowing where I was or cared. I reached the surface, I missed the free air, feeling free. Honestly, I've always been cooped up inside of a building or in this case in the sewers. I began to climb one of the buildings until I had reached the rooftop. Panting I sat down on the ledge and stared up at the moon and stars, beautiful as always. I rarely saw humans at least come out and see the moon and stars, but who cares, more star gazing for me I guess. I wonder...are Raph and his brothers are wondering where I am? probably not.

Raph P.O.V

That idiot, who does he think he is to be able to go through our father's room? I stomped out and headed to the dojo, only to see Leo not on the couch when he gets sad. Panic grew in me as the anger completely disappeared. "If you're wondering about him he left." I turned to see Mikey behind me. "What do you mean he left?" "I mean he left. Went out on a walk he said. Hasn't been back since." He explained simply. "Then why didn't you stop him?!" I practically yelled at him. Completely unfazed by my yelling he gave a simple answer. "You were angry, Donnie told him he was a pesky experiment and trouble follow him. He got upset and said he was going to take a walk and that's about it." I glared at him and then went straight to the lab, slamming my hand on Donnie's table, making him flinch in response. "What the heck Raph!? Give me a heart attack why don't you!?" he snapped. "Why did you tell Leo he was a pesky experiment?!" I shouted at him. He simply rolled his eyes. "Why do you care about that experiment? He's just a clone of Leo. I might be able to bring Leo back and 'experiment 204' will no longer exist and we don't have to deal with him and the-" "We're not going to get rid of experiment 204..much less when we barely know close to nothing about him." I sighed, I missed Leo.....but then 204 would be gone too. 'he's an experiment they don't have the right to feel or decide.'  a small thought came to me. "When we find out more about 204...then we will decide what we will do with him. For now we can't risk it." I murmured.  Donnie simply nodded to what I said but I could see he was smug about me agreeing to what he wanted. I left the lab and saw Mikey reading a book. Just yesterday he was cracking jokes about me and le- I mean 204, now he's reading a book like nothing as if without 204 he doesn't show emotions. I didn't bother to go and look for 204, mostly because I wanted to give him time to cool down and handle what people tell him. It was close to midnight and he has still yet return, 12:00 am....12:30 am.....1:00 am. I stared at the clock just waiting in silence for 204. I was dozing off every now and again until the door opened, 204 shyly peeped his head out to see if the coast was clear I assume. "You can come in you know." I said. He gave a shy smile and entered inside, closing the door behind him. "Sorry..gone for too long...uhh stare at moon an-an-and st-stars?....stars. stars, yes stars too." he said with a smile. I couldn't help but smile at his innocents, but soon frowned, remembering what Donnie and I agree to........well some what agreed to. "Please understand I don't want you going out for too long." I said sternly. He seemed surprised by my tone but nodded anyway, coming over and sat on the couch. I got up and headed back to my room, I missed Leo too much and if it means that we can get our brother back...I'll agree to what Donnie said and I might agree to Bishop...after all I still have 3 days until I decide.

204 P.O.V

It was really weird. I mean Raph being formal in his speech, he sounded almost like....my master except he was kind and loving and played with me when he had the time. I miss him honestly, but I also don't. It's weird but I want to be able to decide for myself and enjoy the freedom I had right now, instead of being cooped up in my cell all day and night when master is busy. I laid on the very uncomfortable couch and I knew I wasn't going to sleep tonight. Footsteps could be heard and I turned to see Mikey, he was carrying something.....strange in his arms. "I know you're uncomfortable on the couch so I stole errr I mean borrowed this from Donnie's lab. It isn't much but it's better than the couch." he said as he began to set it up. "What is it?" I asked shyly. "It's called a cot. It's like a bed but smaller, I hope you can sleep in it." He said with a gentle smile. I smiled in return and hugged him. "Thank you...I sleep well tonight." I said trying to form the words but he understand and unlike Donnie he didn't laugh when I spoke. "You're welcome, night." He said as he left to his room. I took the light blanket and laid on the cot, loving the much more comfortable feeling close to a bed. I immediately fell asleep due to how tired and comfortable the cot was.

.......

I awoke immediately when I felt eyes lay on me, I saw Donnie and Raph glaring at me. What wrong did I do this time? "What are you doing with my cot?" Donnie asked, growling. "I-I..Mi-" "Don't blame anyone! Especially Mikey! He wouldn't dare steal anything from me. I told you Raph he was nothing but trouble." I looked at Raph with pleading eyes as he gave a deep breath. "Don't steal anything, don't get anywhere near the lab." He said sternly as my eyes widen at what he had said. Donnie simply smirked as he made me get off the cot as he took it away. I gave a small whine at the warmth I was once in and enjoyed. Mikey wasn't even trying to defend me. "What has gotten into you? You never acted like this before." Raph said. Is this what it is? Me getting treated like some stupid pet or child? I glared at him. "I didn't steal!! not thief! not troublemaker!" I shouted at him. He was unfazed, "Alright but I still want you away from Donnie's lab, okay?" He was stern with his words but I didn't respond. "I said okay." "Okay..." I finally responded. "Come on Mikey, let's practice some katas before we get into our sparing matches." Raph said as he headed into the dojo, Mikey quickly following him after. I felt... different as if I'm not wanted here or a burden to them. Who am I kidding? Of course I'm a burden to them...I always have been from the beginning. I'm not wanted here that was clear...Raph has completely changed, he now ignores me and treats me like some child who has no sense in him. He doesn't smile to me anymore...his eyes don't shine like the brilliant moon anymore whenever he looks at me. His tone changed from sweet and gentle to harsh and stern. I'm not wanted here and that was clear as day....I had to leave and so I did...I didn't look back. I didn't feel guilty about it. I didn't regret it. I didn't care. I headed to the building I was on the night before and stared at the night sky, loving the scent the air gave off -ignoring the scent of gasoline and chemicals- I smiled softly, feeling free for once in my life.....little did I know that will change in such a short period of time. "Experiment 204?" A voice said, I turned to look at them with a smile. I wasn't feeling like they were a threat,  I was wrong. "Hello!" I said happily to them. They only gave an expressionless face and quickly went to me, grabbing me by the arms and began to pull me to the ground below. I struggled to get away from them, "Let go!!" I shouted only for one of the men to cover my mouth. "Shut it, freak!" He snarled as he and the other man dragged me to a white van. I shook my head as I again struggled, I felt a blindfold covered my eyes as I panicked further, fearing the worst when they had done so. I could hear their murmurs although very faint. They had locked me into this van like a caged animal, they seemed to be talking to someone but I couldn't hear who exactly it was. The van began to move and I knew that I would be meeting a fate that will surely kill me...it wouldn't mattered...I am just an experiment. A toy to be played with like my master had done so for years....what right do I have to such freedom?....

Okay!!!! Here is chapter 12!! I know it took forever to do but I reach up to at least 2000 words so new record!!!! Anyway, as a way of me saying sorry I will update again tomorrow!! That's about it and as always stay awesome!!!
