Midnight Terror.

He felt tired. He was dragging an unconscious Mikey along. He couldn't go on. The coppery taste of blood was still in his mouth. He was aching all over. He winced at the sharp pain in his leg, where a knife had been embedded in his right thigh. His head was also bleeding. His head had been smashed into a wall, and blurred lines had crept into his vision. A long scrape ran all the way along the back of his head. The worst pain of all was searing through him. It was his plastron. A crack ran through from the very top of it, to the very bottom, almost splitting it in half. He had many other bruises, and cuts which were bleeding rapidly. How much blood had he lost?

He had saved Mikey after they had been ambushed by a group of Foot. They only just managed to escape with their lives. Mikey had been unconscious for around 10 minutes, because of a blow to the head which was swelling up rapidly. He also had many cuts, but his plastron and legs were O.K.

Suddenly, he felt all of his energy rush out of him and he dropped Mikey to the floor, before falling to the floor of the slightly damp sewer tunnel. Finally, Leo let unconsciousness claim him. The two battered and bruised turtles lay dieing in the darkness.

"I'm worried about them." Raph said tensely, pacing up and down, unable to keep the worry from his voice. "They've been gone for over three hours." His fists were clenched tight and his stomach was gripped with fear. Donny absent- mindedly nodded. They were in Donny's lab and he was looking up things that Raph couldn't even pronounce, on his computer.

"I'm gonna go look for 'em." Raph said, biting his lower lip. Leo and Mikey are never gone this long.

"'Kay" came the far-off reply from Donny. Raph rolled his eyes and grabbed his disguise. He then left the lair, not knowing that mere metres away, lay his two brothers.

As Raph walked he remembered a time when Mikey and Leo had gone out before and not come back for 3 hours.

-:Flashback:-

An 8 year old Raph stood in the living room of their lair, waiting for Leo and Mikey to get back. He hated it when he was away from any member of his family. Especially Leo. They were best friends, and were basically inseparable. Mikey and Leo had gone out to get some fresh air and said they would probably be back in less than an hour. It had now been 3 hours. Master Splinter was in his room meditating, and Donny was sitting beside Raph, equally as worried.

"I have to go and look for them Donny. I'm scared that they have been hurt." Said a little Raph, his voice high but hoarse .Donny had nodded and they had left, setting out to find their leader, and their joker.

Leo groaned and stirred. They had just fought off an attack from the Foot, and had only just escaped being killed by the Foot. They had run off after the fight, Leo leaving a trail of blood from a cut to his leg. He had collapsed at the manhole cover to the sewers, and Mikey had dragged him. When he woke up, he relieved Mikey of having to carry him and kind of half walked- half crawled back. They made their way back, only to be met by a furious yet worried Raph.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" he yelled, trying to keep the worry off his face.

"To cut a long story short, we were having the time of our lives, being beaten up by the Foot!" Leo said with his teeth clenched. Raph sighed and turned round. He walked off saying:

"Shouldn't ave gone out on your own in the first place O' Fearless one."

-:End flashback:-

Raph squinted in the darkness. Two unmoving figures lay on the floor, in the middle of the tunnel. His stomach drew tighter. There was blood. And lots of it. "That 'aint human blood" he thought out loud.

Then it hit him. It's Leo and Mikey!! He rushed over and fell to his knees. He felt for a pulse from Mikey...there! It was slow but he found one.

Then he moved over to Leo, whom he barely recognised through all the blood on his face and body. His placed his fingers, which were shaking, to Leo's neck, hoping for the same, if not a better outcome than Mikey's, although, he highly doubted it, Mikey didn't seem to have lost as much blood. He waited... and waited... and waited... nothing. He quickly grabbed his shell cell and dialled Donny's number.

"Raph?"

"No, it's the Tooth Fairy! How ever long does it take you to answer your phone Donny?" he said loudly, placing the shell cell between his shoulder and his ear, trying to get Leo to breath.

"Look, Leo and Mikey are hurt. Leo, badly. He isn't breathing" CPR is harder than it looks he thought wildly.

"WHAT!!!?" Donny yelled.

"YOU HEARD THE FIRST GOD DAMN TIME; NOW GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE WILL YOU???" Raph screamed, fear settling in as Leo hadn't made any improvement. The phone went dead and he lobbed it on the floor.

He pinched Leo's nose and bent down and breathed into Leo's mouth, trying to get him to breath, although without much affect. A minute later, shuffling and breathing told Raph that Donny was here. Also from a gasp from behind him he kind of guessed it was Donny.

"Raph, grab Leo and come back to the Lair." Donny said in a trembling voice. Raph bent down and picked up Leo's battered, unmoving body and gasped when he saw a crack running down the whole of Leo's plastron. Also there was a knife embedded in Leo's thigh, which scared him even more. He saw Donny pick up Mikey and they both ran together back into the lair.

"Master Splinter!! Master Splinter!! Come 'ere!" yelled Raph as they entered the lair. They put Mikey and Leo down on the couch and the table.

Raph was trying desperately to get Leo to breath. He was starting to feel a little annoyed, and snapped, punching Leo in the chest several times.

Suddenly Leo began coughing. Blood spurted from his mouth and he rolled over and vomited. He was pale and sweating and shaking violently

"M...Mikey?" he whispered, his voice hoarse. He began coughing more and had to be turned on his side, for fear of choking on his own blood.

Master Splinter raced through and asked urgently; "What happened Donatello, my son?"

"W...we don't know." He said, turning back to Leo, who was vomiting again. But I bet anything Raph is gonna find out. He looked towards his brother who was looking over Mikey who was still out cold.
