Hope you enjoy.
Raphael's P.O.V - 9:30pm
It's been 2 hours since Leo, Donnie and Mikey went topside without me, all because I forgot to do the dishes. The anger I felt when master splinter told me that I wasn't allowed to go on patrol tonight was so high that for the first hour I did nothing but punch my punching bag in complete rage, it wasn't right that I had to stay underground in the fifthly sewers while my brothers went out into the cool night, jumping roof to roof and having some freedom while I'm trapped. I'm still pissed that I'm stuck down here, I mean I'm the muscle of the team, they need me to be up there if something goes wrong. At the moment I'm washing the dishes, why am I the unlucky one. GOD I hate being denied things and having to listen to lectures, it makes me feel like a small helpless child, WHICH I am NOT, I am a young man who can defend himself. Finishing off the last few dishes I started to imagine punching some foot ninjas. After the dishes I went to watch some TV.
3 hours later 12:30am
Don and Mikey were sent home by Leo about two hours ago after getting into a nasty fight with some foot ninjas, but of course they kicked their butts. Apparently fearless wanted to make one more round then would come home and if any trouble goes on topside we'll be the first to know before he runs off to fight. I wouldn't admit this to anyone but, I'm kinda worried about fearless, I mean we've had no calls from him saying he needed help, but normally when he's topside and alone he would call to tell us where's he at and to say he's okay, and he normally rings like, every fifteen minutes or so to check up on us. I could tell that Donnie and Mikey were starting to get restless, what would you expect when you only just got your big bro after two years of separation, and one of those years where you lost all contact with him, and to top it off once he did return he gets injure because of his younger brother causing him to get captured and nearly killed. I was the one who injured him and he forgave me right away, he always forgives me and it sometimes drives me insane at how he can just smile and shrug everything I do that's hurtful, I am the worst brother to him and yet he takes it and doesn't show any sign of hurt. I sigh and look over to Mikey whose staring at the TV, I could tell he wasn't even paying attention to it; I jumped down to the bottom floor using the railings near my bedroom to help lift me up and over lift. I walked to Mikey and sat down next to him, I could tell he was worried about Leo, and I could also see he was dead tired, his eyes kept dropping only to be forced open again. I gently shake Mikey to make sure he listens to me, he looks to me with tired eyes. "Mikey, go get some sleep, Leo will be home soon, and you know how angry he gets when we're up to late" an uneasy feeling swept upon me as soon as the words left my lips, I shook it off and helped Mikey up to his room, did I forget to mention that Mikey sprained his ankle during their small battle, well you do now. After getting Mikey upstairs into his room I went out to the main room of the lair, I sat on the couch and started to flip through channel to channel. Soon I could feel my eyes beginning to drop, I tried to keep them up but to no avail, I soon drifted into a troublesome sleep. One question kept ringing in my head as I slept and it kept yelling, screaming out 'where's Leo'?
Six days later (Writers P.O.V)
six days had past and the oldest turtle brother had yet to return, Mikey wouldn't dare touch a video game nor a comic book until Leo came home, all he does now is stare at the TV, and he hardly pays attention to it. Mostly he just pretends to watch when inside he's crying and screaming for his big brother to come back home, the behaviour that he was showing was things like, socially excluding himself from his brothers and father, having anger outbursts and many other things, this was exactly how he acted when Leo left for training. His other two brothers couldn't bring him out of it, just like last time they tried giving Mikey some jobs to help out, working always seemed to get his mind off of troubling thoughts and feelings, but Mikey refused to do anything helpful until Leo was back home. Mikey had lost his appetite; nightmare of possibilities of what Leo is facing started to haunt him in the dream world. It didn't take very long until the lovable prankster became the depressed and broken child.
While trying to help Mikey Donnie was still doing his best to find a way to track down Leo, even though Splinter had told him not to. The stress and the fact that the temperature had started to drop to below zero, Donnie has grown quiet sick, not only was he sick with the flu but he was also worried sick about Leo, he was reduced to sneaking into his lab every night in secret but was only caught the next morning by his father since he would always pass out within two to three hours of searching. Every night he's cursed to endure fever nightmares witch doesn't help anyone's worry in the family, but compared to Raph's condition Donnie's state looked like heaven.
Raphael seemed to be possessed with guilt, anger, violence, sadness and a slight hint of insanity, the cold darkness was consuming his weak heart, it caused him to snap whenever, even if there wasn't an augment going on, like two days ago early evening Mikey had just started to smile after don made a funny joke (is that even possible o.O) when Raph just burst out say how Mikey was a shrimp and that it was his weakness that caused Leo to keep leaving them and that they would all be better off without an annoying little mistake like him. Mikey hasn't smiled since than nor has he spoken. Raph's lack of sleep also clouded his judgement and thoughts, he doesn't sleep, eat or even talk to anyone (arguments don't count as talking). Everthing within his room was either trashed or broken and he tended to stay in Leo's room during the night and despite Raph's behaviour and the way he had talked with Mikey, he allows Mikey to also come into the room, it was his only way of getting to sleep and Raph although angry at everyone still loved his bro's and was very protective of them, he just wasn't in the right mindset to see that he was hurting everyone around him. Today Raph seemed to be aiming all of his frustration and anger at master splinter, but then again, it was splinter who demanded that his sons stay home instead of running off to search for their eldest brother.
Raphael's P.O.V 8:15pm (this is near the end of a huge argument cause I suck when writtin em)
Dark red blurred my vision as my father continued to say that Leo would return soon and that it was too dangerous to go and search for him, how could he? After everything I've been saying and all of the possibility that could be happening to my brother and his son, my father still won't listen to me, I could feel my muscles tense, my body started to tremble terrible and I could feel sweat beginning to run down my brow. It was taking all of my strength to stop myself from trying to strangle him. The monster at the back of my mind lifted its ugly head trying to put all these horrible suggestion into mah head, but I was only just able to push it back down, I'm no bloodthirsty monsta. "Master splinta Leo's been gone for six whole days, we've got to go search for him" I shouted at my sensei.
Writer's P.O.V 8:16pm
"Leonardo has had proper training, he will be just fine, he does not need three children to run off during the night just to see if he's well, Leonardo is just fine, you need to have more faith in him Raphael." The rat named splinter said to Raph in a stern tone. Raph's eyes filled with an anger that would scare the shredder himself, and if the emotion showing in his eyes weren't enough, his tone would be. "We are not kid's father, and last time I checked Leo is exactly like us, he is not invincible and whether you like it or not I'm heading out to find him" after a small pause he continued with a whisper as he turned his back towards his father "I nearly lost my big brother once, father, I am NOT ready for him to completely leave, unlike some of you." Before master splinter could react, the red clad turtle was already out into the sewers chambers, looking for the closet man hole to climb out of.
Raph's P.O.V 8:40pm
'Why, why does father refuse to let Leo have some help, Leo is no more special than the rest of us and neither is master Splinter' I kept jumping roof to roof looking in alley ways from above the roofs, being silent as the shadows and as fast as the wind. I kept searching and searching, only when it got to midnight did I finally give up. I jumped down into an alley way, walking until I could find a man hole. I found one within five minutes, as I was about to pop it open I heard muffled crying, I looked around as I backed away into the shadows, who welcomed me a protected my body from the seeing eye, like a mother hiding it's child from the cruel world. My eyes scanned the area until I saw a mysterious figure wearing a brown cloak that looked quiet beat up, I saw the shoulders of the person go up and down and a soft sniffle. The person was crying and stumbling like a drunk.
I decided to stay in the shadow and wait for the person to leave before going home, he seemed to of had too much to drink for he was havin a lot of trouble walking, soon a strong gush of wind came from nowhere, the person held the cloak to his chest as the hood flew off of his head, revealing a green reptile type of face. My eyes widened and I could feel relief as I recognised the familiar green face of my older brother. I was also filled with relief at the fact that Leo wasn't too badly injured but I did notice several scars and bruises on his face, the mother fuckers who did that will pay but for now I need to get Leo back to the only safe place, home. "Leo!" I stared at him in disbelief, Leo looked towards me, fear clouding over his eyes at first before calming down when he noticed it was me as I stepped out of the shadows but he still seemed scared, I put a comforting hand on his back and said so softly and quietly that I was surprised we could both hear it "let's go home Leo" he looked up to me, tears streaming down his face his hands came out of the cloak, one grabbed hold of my wrist while the other grabbed the area near my elbow, he put his head on the back of my shoulder, it looked as if he was hugging my arm. Personally I didn't mind the close contact with my older brother; together we went into the sewers and made the journey home. I knew something had happened to Leo, he never cried, I swear I'll make the people that made my brother cry wish they were suffering in hell, I thought with a glare. I stood tall and made sure my senses were sharp, prepared for anything to come at my bro and I.
If only I had known what had happened to my brother and how it would affect me in the near future.
Well I hoped you enjoyed please leave a revive or a suggestion as to what could happen with Leo now that he's home
If people don't seem to take a liking to this story then it will fade away into the darkness of the angels
