Watching over you

It's been 2 weeks. 2 fucking weeks. I haven't eaten for days and the last time I drank something was 2 days ago. I'm so hungry and so thirsty... Every inch of my body hurts, an unbearable pain. I can't keep doing this. All I want is to sleep... But HE won't let me! Everytime I close my eyes my whole body bursts into pain. He wants me to suffer. Like I made him suffer. Ugh...this sucks. This table is really uncomfortable, and these straps only worsen everything. I wonder if they are looking for me, as much as I hope so, I don't want them to find me like this. Weak. Useless. Oh shell... I'm so sleepy...

"OPEN YOUR EYES, FREAK!" I hear as an agonizing pain makes my body shake, keeping me wide-awake. I take laboured breaths, trying to suck in as much air as I can without feeling my broken ribs poke my lungs. I can feel tears forming in my eyes, the pain is just too much... Carefully, I turn my head to look at the guy who is holding the stun gun. Usually, one of these wouldn't affect me that much, but now even a bug bite hurts like shell...

"I'm not a freak... I have a name and it's Raphael." Fuck, I hate the way my voice sounds, so weak and hoarse. I also hate how hard it was to say those simple words. I try to put on my most angry face, the one that would always make the leg of my enemies tremble. Heh. I must look really pathetic right now, like a defenseless kitten trying to scare its rival. But I don't care, if it shows that I haven't broke yet, than I'm fine with that.

"Oh, I have a name as well, it's Daniel. See, you're not the only one to have a name! Wow!" Daniel says sarcastically. " Please turtle, even YOU know that you're a freak. Am I wrong?"

As much as I hate to admit it, the kid is right, I do know that I'm a freak. I know that very well. Even though I'm always denying it. Master Splinter always says that none of us is a freak, and all of them seems to believe him. But I don't. I know the truth, the painful truth. And it makes me sick.

"What? Cat got your tongue?" The annoying voice of Daniel pulls me out of my thoughts, I'm starting to get really sick of him. "Or maybe I'm right, you do know that you're a freak. Heh! See? I am always right!"

"You're wrong! I'm. Not. A. Freak!" Bad move. I soon start to cough really painful coughs. I can feel my lungs being hardly pressed against my broken ribs, an agonizing pain shots through my whole body. Each breath being more painful than ever. Soon, my mouth starts to gain a metallic taste. Blood. Exhausted, I try to recover my breath, ever so slowly. A laugh starts to echo trough the room, a laugh that makes my blood boil in anger.

"Oh my god! You're so funny, freak! You're hilarious! Hahahaha!"

"What the heck do you want? Haven't you had enough torturing me? What else do you want?" I ask defeated. My body burns, I can feel all of the cuts being infected by tiny disgusting bugs, my broken ribs and leg aren't helping either. All I want to do is sleep.

"What do I want? I want to see you suffer, but not like this. I want you to suffer like I suffered..." Daniel leaned in and whispered, "I want you to know what it feels like to lose a brother."

Oh no... Oh no no no! Please guys, do NOT come looking for me!

"But for that, I need you to tell me where you live. So, why don't you make things easier and tell me, huh?"

"Never! Your brother deserved what he got!" Shit, I should have kept my mouth shut. Now I'm 99,99% certain that I'm not going to get out of here alive.

"You shut your mouth, freak! My brother was the best! But how could you know if YOU KILLED HIM!"

"Your brother was a SICK PERSON!" Fuck, my throat really hurts. "He KILLED people, he RAPED women! HOW in the WORLD could he be the BEST?"

"SHUT UP! HE WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT! AT LEAST NOT TO ME! HE LOVED ME AND I LOVED HIM! WE WERE A FAMILY! BUT YOU TOOK HIM AWAY FROM ME! And I'm going to do the same to you."

"Daniel! Your brother didn't love you! He used you! He didn't care about ya! And you know that! Am I wrong?" The kid looked really confused. Maybe now it's my chance, if I keep pushing him he will start to believe me and free me. It was a low chance but still a chance. "Your brother only saw you as a tool. That's it." Damn, I'm a good liar. But it makes me feel bad. His brother did love him in fact, I remember his exacts last words being 'Daniel... I'm so sorry lil' bro... Big bro loves ya...'. But it's a needed evil.

"Shut up...shut up... You're lying... YOU'RE LYING!"

Shit shit shit shit shit. I can see a knife in his hand! A fucking knife!

"Daniel! You gotta believe me! Wait! I'M SORRY! NO-..." I... Can feel something cold stabbing my heart... Something hot is warming my plastron... I think it's blood... Yeah, definitely blood. Ouch, it hurts. But it's not that bad... It's kind of comforting. Wait, I can't see! What the... Oh... I must be dying. Guys? Guys? Where are you? I'm scared. Leo? Don? Mikey? Guys?...

"Love y'all, bros..."

-Somewhere far away from there-

It's been 2 weeks. Raph have been missing for 2 weeks. Leo, Don and Mikey were at the top of a building looking for clues near the place that their brother was last seen. It didn't make any sense. They couldn't find anything, it was like he had just vanished.

"Let's go back guys... It's getting late..." Leonardo said obviously tired and depressed, the worry for his missing little brother taking the best of him. Don and Mikey only nodded. They were all quickly losing their hope. Already thinking the worse.

Back at the lair, Leo went to tell the news for Master Splinter, which weren't any. Soon, they all went to bed, trying to get the little rest that they couldn't get for the past couple of weeks.

After what seemed like an eternity, they fell into a deep sleep.

"NOOOOOO! RAAAAPH!" Mikey's desperate cry could be heard from all the lair, waking up everybody.

From his room, he heard a sudden cry, Mikey's cry. Getting out of the bed with an agility that only ninjas had, he ran towards Mikey's room. But there was something that was bugging him: 1- why was Mikey screaming his name? And 2- what kind of nightmare was that? He didn't know, but what matters now is Mikey.

Suddenly, Raph felt an agonizing pain in his heart, and when he put his hand over it, he felt something that shouldn't be there. Looking at his hand he saw it.

Blood.

And the first chapter is over! So, what do you think? I know that it's really confusing right now but I promise I'll explain everything. This is just the prologue!
