A/N: inspired by the 2k3 (2003) TMNT season three series. "The darkness within" and the supernatural tv series also anime series: The djinn. I would share the reason of why I am writing this fiction but then that would be spoiling the story. Hope you will like it and join me for the adventure or I should say, escape the nightmare that seeks to trap us within. Hehehehe, bwahahaha
~Fear…
We all feel it, even face it everyday of our lives
and yet, many face fear in the eye
with such pride and confidence
that may rid of it, forever
fear is apart of us
fear creates us to become what we are today
and even, reveals true nature each of us
fear is neutral, both good and evil
friend and foe
there is no difference
should accept what is and what may become…~ written by tammy ryan; 14.10.2015
Chapter one
Blood. It is ever flowing, it covers the walls when spilt. Even stains the steel that is swung into the warmth flesh of the victim. The smell, god forsaken smell that reeked within the room. It was dark, no light could penetrate through as there were no windows, only steel held the building.
The four terrapins entered within, to investigate what is the cause of continuous disappearances of young teenagers that had been snatched from the streets at night. At first, assumptions of purple dragons were thought to be the culprits of the disappearances, then the foot. But there were no actual viable evidence to prove the theory.
"What is this?" Leonardo asked, looking around the corridor that became darker with every step, taken. "It looks as tomb of some sort." Donatello answered. Keeping their shells to each other, protecting themselves and each other, prepared to defend against the beast that lurked in the darkness around them. "How many is there? Is there more than one creature?" Leonardo demanded for answers as he tightened his grasped on both katanas. "I don't know." Donatello replied. "I don't want to know." Mikey stated afterwards when raphael just lowly growled and attacked first. "Raphael!" Leonardo called out to him. Then suddenly, One by one, they were taken and cocooned.
Side by side, they were cocooned within a glowing red slime that pulsed with live like veins. All were taken but one was still able to roam free until he could free his brothers. Can he save his brothers in time? His voice echoed followed by his footing, and thrusting of his weapon. And yet, each turn. Each room he entered, was empty and darker than the last. Shouting out loudly, calling his brothers as he waited for a reply but nothing.
Breathed heavily, his heart pounded hard and the heat, the smell engulfed him. Even sweat pelted down his brow, and masked.
"Donnie! Raphael! Mikey! Where the shell are you!" Leonardo shouted, calling out their names one after the other and continued to search through every dark room, crevice and hall but had found nothing. The cold wind would blow behind his shell, looking in the corner of his eye before turning around and thrust his katana only slice through the empty air.
A shadowed figure swiftly leaped through the darkness, playing and toying with him. No sound, no laughter. Nothing was heard, not even a footstep. How was he to find his brothers? How to defeat the enemy if he knew nothing of what he was up against?
While Leonardo searched for his brothers, they were cocooned. And slowly fed upon by the beast as they were placed in deep slumber while been manipulated in dreams that couldn't be real.
