Captured

Chapter 9

Leo's POV

My arm that Shredder sliced was hurting more then it did yesterday. The pain was unbearable. It felt like he cut my arm over again and again, but he didn't. In fact, he had only did it to me once.

The water that Karai gave me yesterday was fine. Surprisingly she didn't poison it or anything! That was the first cup of water that I'd had for day now!

Starting today, Shredder decided that I'd be fed once every three days. He said that he didn't want me to die from starvation, he wanted to finish me himself. Shredder wasn't ready to kill me yet, he wanted something from me. Answers mainly, but I'm not telling him anything matter what he does to me.

Today I got my first meal in a while. I get one small meal every three days. Today I got a three slices of bread, with one price of cheese. I wonder who come up with these meals? It wasn't much, but it was nice to eat something.

I was still confused about Raph. Was he really not taken? Is he in the lair? Or was Karai just lying to me about the whole thing?

While I was wondering about this, I heard something shake the bars on the cage. I was not expecting it at all. I immediately looked up nervously. It was Tiger Claw.

"Stand up!" Tiger Claw demanded.

"Why?" I asked not letting me nerves get the best of me.

"Don't question me, just stand up!" Tiger Claw demanded.

I did what he told me. I stood up, staying by the back wall.

"Now what?" I asked.

Tiger Claw opened the cage.

"Turn around," he instructed.

Once again, I listened and turned around.

He put me in handcuffs as I excepted he would, then led me out of the cell. I was directed to sit in front of Shredders throne.

My heart was pounding fast. My arm was already in pain, now I'm most likely to be in more pain.

Shredder sat at his throne and began to talk.

"I have the same rules as last time. Answer my questions, and I won't hurt you. Fail to give me an answer, you be punished."

"May as well punish me now," I said without thinking.

Shredder ignored my comment and continued talking.

"Is your lair in the sewers? If so, which tunnel is it in?"

"Do you really think I'm going to tell you?" I asked Shredder.

Shredder took his blades out. He got up off his throne and walked towards me. He stuck his blades underneath my chin, against my throat.

"I was thinking you might today," Shredder said.

I kept silent. Maybe giving him attitude isn't the best thing to do.

I took a deep breath as Shredder took his blades away from my throat.

Instead, he let them run across my other arm. This time, the cut marks ran from the top of my arm, to the bottom of my arm. They weren't very deep, but they really strung.

By mr surprise, Shredder hadn't finished questioning me.

"Where is your lair?" Shredder demanded again.

"Why don't you just check on my phone?" I asked. I know that he knows he can do that, he's tried to do it before.  

"Because, clumsy Stockmen dropped it in mutagen," Shedder explained.

I spoke no other word.

Shredder picked me up and threw me across the floor. It really stung. Road burn isn't the most pleasant thing.

"Take him back to the cell," Shredder demanded.

The next thing I knew Tiger Claw was dragging me across the floor back to my new "home."

He took the handcuffs off of me and locked me back inside the cell.

I felt like crying it hurt so bad. But I wasn't going to let myself do that. I had to stay strong no matter how much pain I was going through. I have to prove that I'm strong. I can't give away the location of the lair.

That night was tough. Bleeding arm, road burn, and another arm that hurts. Somehow, I made it though the night. It wasn't a good one, but at least it was one.
