CHAPTER 4 - The Vibrancy of Hope

When Raph blinked, he was back in his bedroom, crouched down on the floor next to his twin.

Through the storms of his horrible memories, a single cloud parted by a small, shaking voice. It reached out to Raph like a lifeline, pulling him out of the raging waves of his past.

“I-I’m sorry..”

Don groaned through his clenched teeth. “I-I didn’t know what else to do.” His hunched-over form shifted as he lifted his gaze to meet his brother’s. A mental message pricked at the corner of Raph’s mind from his twin.

(They wouldn’t stop... I couldn’t control it.)

Understanding sparked in his green and hazel eyes, making them grow in empathy.

Raph sighed as he reached his arms over his twin. Don’s body tensed at first, becoming rigid and tight at the sudden physical contact from his normally emotionally-inept brother. The shivers that rattled through Don’s arms slowly melted away as he hesitantly accepted Raph’s embrace, leaning further into his brother’s steady heartbeat pulsing through his plastron. The rhythm, warmth, and pressure proved to be just what the freckled brother needed to ground himself.

(I’m sorry, Don.)

The shuddering wheezes hitting Raph’s neck eventually evened out into shaky, but stable breaths. Don’s arms wrapped tight around Raph’s shell, reciprocating the welcomed grounding pressure to his twin. The brother’s hearts harmonized, making both their plastrons rise and fall in sync.

For the first time in days, the silence that spread through the room was welcomed. Instead of blanketing the brothers with anxiety or discomfort, it brought a sense of calm; peace. An ice-like void transformed into a warm haven, re-igniting the brothers with a soft, shimmering flame of safety in their hearts.

(We are home, brother.)

(We…are h-home.)

Raph remained still as his twin took one last deep breath. Neither brother moved away from their embrace.

But despite the tender moment shared by the brothers, Raph couldn’t help being himself.

“Do ya think you can make it to my bed, or are you gonna fall over like an old lady again?”

Despite his disheveled state, Don didn’t skip a beat as he scoffed and retorted back in a thin voice, “Oh yeah, that’s it- shame the guy who nearly passed out. Great bedside manner, brother. I would recommend your services as much as I’d encourage sleeping with a lit match in a building made of drywood.”

Raph shrugged, letting out a playful chuckle.

“Heheh- Aw come on, Interi. You know what Mikey always says. The whole ‘laughing is better than medicine thing’. I’m doin’ ya a favor.”

“Oh yeah, sure. Ha ha.” Don drawled, his words dripping with sass.

“HA! See? You’re feelin’ better already.”

Don let out his own snicker as he smirked antagonistically.

“Oh I wasn’t laughing at the joke you made, I was laughing at the joke that you are.”

Raph sputtered indignantly as an offended grin shined on his face.

“Dude- I just saved your stinkin’ life! You coulda hit the floor and then *poof!* NO MORE EGGHEAD.”

“Least then I wouldn’t be here listening to your pathetic excuses for jokes.”

A’ight. You asked for this, ya punk.

Before Don had the chance to protest, Raph leaned over and lifted his twin into his arms. He could’ve chosen to hold his brother in a more dignified manner, like the fireman-hold across his shoulders, but instead decided to carry his flailing twin in a princess-carry, making Don’s cheeks burn bright with embarrassment and anger.

“R-RAPHAEL!!! This is NOT necessary!!!” Don screeched as he flung his arms and legs with as much grace as a drunk hummingbird. “YOU BIG OAF! LET ME GO!!!!!”

Raph just smiled in victory as he walked his squirming brother to his nook. The bed creaked extra loud when Raph unceremoniously dropped Don’s wriggling body onto the mattress.

“-Oof! …Raphael… Kisho… Hamat- HEUGH!”

With an even louder groan of the mattress, and a squeezed groan from Don, Raph flopped his whole body on top of his twin, sprawling out all his limbs like a starfish. Don let out a frustrated growl, muffled by his brother’s shell pressing into his face.

“OH F’R H’VN’S SAKE, R’PH.”

Don pushed and squirmed with all his might trying to buck off his brother, but to no avail.

“Can’t you just feel the healin’? I’m a total pro at this.”

“G’T OFF!!”

Don tried reaching to the edge of the bed to get leverage in pulling himself away from Raph, but he couldn’t reach.

Raph let out an exaggerated yawn, stretching out his limbs further. “Ya know…” He smacked his lips. “I think imma take a nap. This is way too cozy to pass up.”

“D’N’T YOU D’RE.”

With a smirk the size of the sun Raph went fully limp, adding to the growing pressure on top of Don.

“Gnight.”

“R’PHAEL YOU L’TTLE TW’RP!!!!!”

. . .

Lotus watched in curious silence as Don kicked, clawed and screeched from underneath his brother. After he bit out a particular word that Lotus had never heard before, Raph tsked and flicked his freckled twin square in the nose.

“Language, Don! Do I need to get Dad~?”

More muffled shouts reverberated from under Raph, each one getting more and more annoyed. Lotus couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement at the two brothers’ antics.

She wasn’t quite sure what she should be doing right now... Should she try to intervene? Maybe egg Don on? Or should she be quiet? Just try to… become invisible?

She doesn’t really have a place to say anything, so she decides to just watch with a smile.

Over time, Don’s muffled shouts slurred into snoring.

Lotus let out a soft snicker at the sight of both brothers sound asleep on top of each other. Don’s face was completely smushed in between the mattress and Raph’s shell, while Raph’s limbs draped limply off the sides of his brother. A small thread of spit had slowly made its way from the edge of Raph’s gaping mouth.

What a lovely sight.

Lotus softly chuckled to herself as she laid her head back on her pillow, its soft fabric welcoming her into its embrace. However, the comfort was quickly pushed aside by the unsettling feeling of something still being wrapped around her. The blanket remained laid over her torso, its linen fibers soft and heavy. The sensation made her legs itch as she tried to slide them out from underneath it, her right leg moving slow but steadily, still weighed down by the exhaustion plaguing her muscles and bones. With a few weak kicks, the weight of the comforter disappeared over her right leg. The cold air of the room enveloped her skin, making her body tingle.

After a crackling burn ending with a harsh yelp, she was reminded to not move her left leg.

At all.

EVER.

Using her right leg, she proceeded to slowly kick off the rest of the blanket. Her whole body immediately relaxed and sunk deeper into the mattress as she let out a thankful sigh. The cold surrounded her, sending a gentle wave of refreshment through her body.

That’s better…

Somehow the loud snores of Donatello quickly became background static as Lotus was left to her thoughts.

Images flashed through her unfocused irises as she revisited the past twenty four hours. Waking up in a random bedroom, meeting the brothers…and…

A deep burn ignited inside the wound in her left leg. She hissed as she slowly leaned over to reach the offending appendage. Her shoulders and neck ached in protest with each movement as she rubbed up and down to hopefully relieve some of the tenseness in her muscles. The pain of her wound sparked a wisp of bitterness in her soul, melding with and growing the shadows over her recovering heart. With a defensive scowl, she remembered who it was to blame for what had happened.

Her mind coursed with the images of Leo’s tear filled eyes. The fear echoed through his trembling hands. His words…

His promise.

A whimper escaped her lips as her wounded leg once again crackled with bolts of fire under her skin. She was then reminded of the pills that Raph had ordered her to take before he went to help Don. As she extended her arm to reach for the edge of the bed to pull herself up, another pang twisted in the muscles of her arms, making her let out a sharp hiss through her teeth. Nervous she might’ve woken the slumbering twins, she turned her head to them with her face in a squinting grimace. Her shoulders fell with relief when she saw that neither brother had moved an inch.

Phew. Okay- feel pain quieter please.

She tried again, this time successfully reaching and grasping the edge of the bed. Her feeble fingers tightened their grip as she slowly hunched her torso up. More scattered sparks twisted the muscles between her neck and shoulders, but she was determined to stay as silent as possible.

At the record pace of a sleep-deprived sloth, she finally reached the two pills on the side table. Her brows cinched together when she saw there was no water or cup, so she guessed she had to take them dry. They were small enough, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Her fingers froze just as they were about to place the set of pills in her mouth.

...Will these do anything?

If the injection had barely made a dent in her pain, then why would these pills be any different? What if they had done something to her that would make her react badly to the medication?

Hesitation and fear cinched every muscle in her arm as she held the pills mere inches from her mouth.

I could be allergic to it.

It might make me sick.

It could hurt me.

She peered down at the deep bruises splotched over the crooks of her arms.

NO.

No- It's f-fine. Even if these don't do anything.. At least it won't cause me any pain like the needle did. It's fine.

I can do this.

I can DO THIS.

She shakily placed them in her mouth and forced herself to swallow.

The pills, however small, did not want to go down her throat. The bitter taste of the outside coating made her choke out a small gag, but she persisted. She dropped her head down to make the now melting pills fall to the back of her teeth. Then in one quick motion, she yanked her head up, craning her neck, and shooting the pills to the back of her throat. The bitter taste had now been thoroughly smeared all throughout her mouth, but the pills thankfully went down.

Definitely using water next time…Yech.

She tried her best to ignore the chalky textures plastered on her tongue and between her teeth, as she carefully lowered herself back down onto the mattress. Apparently her fingers were officially out of commission, cause right before her head gracefully landed on her pillow, they released their grip, making her jerk back onto the mattress with a loud *FLOP*.

Her head rang with disorientation as she tried to distract herself from the bitter taste in her mouth and the swelling headache in her temples. She laid still, not daring to move in order to prevent any more discomfort.

Lotus looked back to the time she had spent with Leonardo. She recalled the kindness in his gentle tone, and the grace and care he gave her despite her stupid phobias. She had never seen such tenderness.

But one specific image remained burned into her heart, flickering with the opaque shadows of distrust.

The moment she looked into his eyes.

He lied to me.

He acted as though he knew what he was doing with the procedure. How he spoke with her in seasoned authority had begun to give her a sense of relief. But then things quickly started going wrong. Unlike them, who would just continue on as if nothing happened and finish no matter her discomfort, Leo froze. He panicked. His hands shook and his face pinched into a tense frown. He began mumbling incoherently to himself, and it made Lotus’ stomach twist with fear that she really wasn’t safe.

All the doctors or nurses she had been brought to didn’t look any older than thirty. So how old was he?? How much experience could this kid really have if he looked like he wasn’t even in his TWENTIES?

He probably had no idea what he was doing. He did say that he was new at it, though..

I guess all that confidence was just talk.

Distrust creeped its shadow further over Lotus’ questioning heart. Her stomach twisted.

Maybe I can’t trust him.

More of Leo’s words echoed back to her in thin wisps. They softly flowed through her mind, alighting the darker, frozen corners with a small glint of something warm.

“I’M SORRY LOTUS! I’M SO SORRY!!”

Her mind rang with the cries of Leo’s apology, and her eyes filled with the image of his tears and quivering lip. He never yelled at her to ‘toughen up’, or ‘hold still’ or…anything like that. He never once snapped at her or shamed her for being weak.

He listened… and did whatever he could to help.

More of Leo’s words echoed back, making the shadow over her heart retreat just a little bit more.

“That’s ok. I bet Don could figure it out! He’s really smart, and I’m sure he could help.”

She had owed him. And yet he was willing to help her more than he already had, guiding her to go to Don to find answers she never once believed would be given. And on top of that… he, and his whole family had welcomed her into their home with no strings attached.

Or at least none that she’s spotted yet.

Shadow slowly crept back up the walls of her heart, fighting against the warmth and light. With each dig of its claw, another question of doubt began to infect her mind.

There has to be a catch…Why would they help me escape? I did nothing to earn it. I didn’t ask for help.

They must want something.

Maybe they’ll have me clean in order to stay. Or cook. Or help with.. whatever they do all day. I bet I can learn to do those things. They’ll…they’ll have to train me, but I’m a fast learner.

Being born and raised in a lab didn’t really help with her understanding of how to do chores. They never taught her how to care for herself, or keep a living space, so she was pretty clueless as to what to do. But she could learn. Didn’t seem all that hard. Sometimes she would watch as the janitor would do his rounds cleaning the hall outside of her cell. He’d swipe down the floor with a stick that had some weird looking hair attached to it, and he would spray an airy solution on the clear glass of her wall. She had to admit it was pretty satisfying to see the glass go from speckled and wet to clear and pristine. It was the closest thing to entertainment that she had, so she would keep tabs on whenever the janitor appeared on her floor.

As long as they show me what to do, I’ll be able to help out as best I can. And when I’m strong enough, I can go find my own place. I’ll be out of their hair.

Her heart beat faster as realization blossomed inside of it. Her mind pulled to light a long forgotten memory, faded from time, but still slightly aglow with importance.

Shimmering blurs of a kind face with soft hair filled her vision. The gentle voice told her stories of the world, filling her little imagination to overflowing. Sometimes the woman would sneak a children’s book into her cell, secretly teaching her how to read whenever there was time. Slender painted nails would point at the pages, explaining the names and colors of the items. The woman would have Lotus read out the words as best as she could, and then a gentle finger would tap her nose playfully, quietly announcing “That’s right, Lotus!!”

The beautiful memory continued to fade. But even in the darkness of her mind, it still emitted a faint, but thriving glow.

The pictures in that children’s book of her past came to life before her, beckoning her to them. Calling out to her that this was her chance. She could go see skyscrapers, bridges, farms, and the countryside. She could experience the nature around her, meeting the various fauna, and gazing at the beautiful flora.

She could finally see the majesty of a sunset.

Colors were drained from every room and surface back at the labs. Every wall was either an empty gray or a piercing white. The cabinets and doors were dull with no textures. The lights didn’t even vary, always glowing a pale, sickly yellow. Except for the surgical room light, that would always give her a horrible headache with how bright its white rays were set. She would always need to shut her eyes tight in order to not get dizzy.

She turned her head to look around the bedroom. The whole wall surrounding where Don and Raph were laying was splashed with all kinds of vibrant colors. Blues, yellows, reds, oranges… She caught sight of some small hand prints too, splattered randomly throughout the whole art piece.

Her head turned further, surveying more of the bedroom.

More and more colors seemed to pop up all over the living space, from the teals and reds of the books stacked haphazardly in the bookshelf, to the dirty orange jackets piled in the corner, to the soft blue sheets covering the mattress she was laying on. Her eyes indulged themselves with the vibrancy scattered all throughout the room, inspiring a fragile smile to grace her face.

Her past’s hollow smears of gray vanished as her present alighted with vibrant hues of hope.

She was truly free.

That's it for this chapter! :)

FINALLY we get to see more perspective and thoughts from Lotus. This poor girl has been through a lot, but I wanted a lot of what happened to her to be in subtle small details. Things you have to catch in context rather than just being told it out front.

And then the twins~ Oh MAN was it FUN to just write these two bickering and making a scene together. I'll admit, a lot of their dialogue and actions are inspired by me and my older sisters past experiences. And even now. ;) They're such chaotic goobers and I love them dearly. <3

Anyways, hope you enjoyed! Please feel free to reblog and share this story if it touched your heart. :)

To God be the glory!

~ Melissa

Discover the Fascinating World of Museums in Thailand

Thailand, one of the world's most popular travel destinations for backpackers, is renowned for its wonderful climate and exotic beaches.

Jim Thompson, an architect from the United States, spent approximately 25 years residing and working in Thailand. His fascinating life story begins when he served in World War II as a soldier and later made the Thai silk business well-known all over the world. The Jim Thompson house was a teak home that Jim personally designed and built, and he concentrated on decorating it with priceless Asian art silk pieces that he had gathered from all across Thailand. The house's traditional Thai architecture is on display year-round at this well-known museum in Thailand, where you can also learn more about Jim's life story and purchase some artwork.

National Museum

The enormous National Museum Bangkok, which is distributed across six separate structures and isn't typically classified as a single museum, houses a wide variety of ethnological collections of Thai art, antiquities, instruments, furniture, costumes, and other objects from previous Thai kings. This one of the interesting museums in Thailand is ideal for learning about the country's rich history, art, culture, and traditions in one location. The Buddha footprint from the Sukhothai period, the Buddha Jawan Chapel, and King Pinklao's bedroom furnishings are just a few of the unique and well-known displays. You can either go inside on your own or with a guide to learn more from them.

Siriraj Medical Museum

The Siriraj Medical Museum in Bangkok, which is horrifying yet fascinating, is appropriately referred to as the Death Museum in Thailand. It contains some of the most bizarre exhibitions, so it's not for the faint of heart. This exhibit is intense, featuring malformed and ill children's dead bodies preserved in formaldehyde alongside the skulls and skeletons of murder and rape victims. More exhibits cover the development of forensic medicine, graphic images of people dying in disasters, diseased organs, animal organs, and many more objects. Medical students from Thailand and other countries frequent the museum on a regular basis. Today, a large number of tourists visit this location to see this incredibly educational museum with Thailand tour packages.

Phuket Trickeye Museum

For your family's day out, the three-dimensional, mind-blowing, and weird trick-eye museum of Phuket promises a delightful diversion from Phuket's beaches. More than 100 painted and sculpted scenes put you in absurd circumstances. There are numerous galleries with works by Van Gogh and Da Vinci, such as a humorous recreation of the Mona Lisa, a zombie, or scenes from a movie where you are standing in front of a waterfall or strolling through the streets of a picturesque Italian town. At this Thai museum, visitors of all ages can be seen attempting to take the ideal, authentic photographs of the exhibits, which is funny not just for kids. There are also snacks and drinks accessible inside the museum.

Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre

The cutting-edge Bangkok Work and Culture Centre (BACC) presents work that represents Bangkok's developing contemporary scene. In addition to art and design, this museum of fine arts also features works by Thai and foreign artists in the fields of music, theater, photography, and film. The visitor has the ideal opportunity to savor Thailand tours contemporary art and culture in this enormous nine-story structure with its wide-ranging galleries and exquisite interior. The museum is very well curated, featuring everything from large sculptures to tiny installations. There are frequently held photography exhibitions and award ceremonies to help the artists get the recognition they deserve. Visitors can unwind in the art library and numerous modest cafes.

Thai-Burma Railway Centre Museum

Showcasing the illustrious history of the 145-kilometer Thai-Burma railway that was constructed during the Second World War. This railway, sometimes known as the "Death Railway," caused the deaths of between 75,000 and 100,000 Asian construction workers and approximately 12,000 Allied POWs. These were the individuals who were subjected to the brutal authority of the Imperial Japanese Army and suffered from ailments like starvation. This is one of the amazing places to visit in Thailand to explore during your tours to Thailand. It is the most instructive exposition to learn about how the Thai people were handled during the World War since it has numerous images and descriptions of railway buildings, prisoner living circumstances, and death casualties, among other topics.

Transform Your Space: Top Home Interior Design Trends in Bangalore

Your home is a reflection of who you are. It's not just about having four walls; it's about creating a haven that resonates with your personality and lifestyle. In Bangalore, the vibrant culture and diverse architecture offer an exciting canvas for anyone looking to revamp their space. Whether you're moving into a new place or wanting to refresh your current one, keeping up with the latest interior design trends can make all the difference. From modern aesthetics to sustainable choices, there’s so much inspiration waiting for you in this bustling city. Let's dive into some of the top Home interior design Bangalore trends shaping Bangalore today!

Key Elements of Modern Home Design

Modern home design emphasizes simplicity and functionality. Clean lines and open spaces create a tranquil environment, allowing homeowners to breathe easier amid their daily hustle. Neutral color palettes dominate modern interiors. Shades of white, grey, and beige serve as the perfect backdrop for bold accents. These pops of color can be introduced through artwork or decorative pieces that bring life to each room. Furniture selection is also crucial. Minimalist designs often feature multi-functional pieces that maximize space without compromising style. Think sleek sofas with hidden storage or coffee tables that convert into dining surfaces. Natural light plays an essential role in modern homes. Large windows not only brighten up the living area but also connect indoor spaces with the outdoors, creating a feeling of openness and serenity. Technology integration seamlessly blends form with function in contemporary designs, offering convenience while enhancing aesthetic appeal.

Natural Materials and Sustainable Designs

Natural materials are at the forefront of sustainable design. They bring warmth and authenticity to any space, creating a connection with nature. Consider using reclaimed wood for furniture or flooring. It adds character while reducing waste. Bamboo is also an excellent choice; it’s fast-growing and durable, making it eco-friendly. Textiles made from organic cotton or linen enhance comfort without harming the environment. These fabrics breathe well and are perfect for Bangalore's climate. Stone accents can introduce elegance. Slate or granite provides durability along with aesthetic appeal, grounding your home in timeless beauty. Integrating greenery into your design is equally important. Indoor plants not only purify air but also add vibrancy to interiors. Choosing natural finishes over synthetic ones promotes sustainability while elevating your home’s style quotient.

Mixing Traditional and Contemporary Styles

Bangalore is a city where tradition and modernity coexist beautifully. This unique blend allows homeowners to create spaces that reflect their personality while honoring cultural roots. Mixing traditional and contemporary styles can breathe new life into your home. Start by incorporating traditional elements, like intricate woodwork or handcrafted furniture. These pieces add character and warmth to your space. Pair them with contemporary accents—think sleek lines and minimalist designs—to create balance. Color plays a vital role in uniting these two styles. Earthy tones from traditional decor can complement bold, vibrant hues often found in modern design. Textiles are another great way to mix it up; consider using rich fabrics alongside simpler ones for an eye-catching contrast. Art also bridges the gap between old and new. A vintage painting can sit comfortably above a minimalist sofa, creating visual intrigue without overwhelming the space. By thoughtfully merging these styles, you craft a home interior that tells your story—a reflection of both past traditions and present-day aesthetics. Embrace this dynamic approach as you transform your living environment into something truly special in Bangalore’s thriving design landscape.
