I Can't sleep
Michelangelo's Pov.
The lair was trashed. There was rocks and boulders everywhere. I couldn't believe what our home had become. Though I'm super thankful Sens i is OK. I don't know what we could have done if Dad left us.
I'm supposed to be sleeping at the moment. Though I just can't. I watch my older brothers sleep peacefully. Not like a stalker though. It's been about a week sense me and my bros defeated the Shredder. Angel cakes has come to help us clean the lair everyday.
But each night when she leaves, or when my family goes to bed the dreams come back. I see Master Splinter getting beat up and almost killed by the Shredder. I see my brothers and me in those glass containers getting our blood drained. I see Raph having his shell handed to him.
I hadn't told anyone yet. I think Leo see's something. But they would tell me to get over it. Tears formed in my unmasked eyes. No. Ninjas don't cry. I can't hold the tears for long. The trail down my face. I sob quietly. I wouldn't want to wake them because of something so stupid as a nightmare.
I hear the bed, to my left, move. Like someone was getting up. 'Oh no!' I thought in terror. 'I woke up the volcano!' Some one walks over to my bed. I had my shell to the figure, so they couldn't see I was crying. I soon felt a hand touch my side. It was gentle and loving. I turn over to face the being. Only to see two glowing green eyes.
Raphaels Pov.
I woke up to the sound of crying. It wasn't loud but when your a ninja your senses are always on alert. Even when your asleep. I wake up thinking at first it was nothing or only a dream. But as I look around the bed room me and my brothers share, I see a slightly shaking form on Mikey's bed.
Mikey. He must have been having a bad dream. As the protective brother I am, I get up to comfort him. He must have heard me get up because as I near his bed the sound stops. His shell is to me. I slightly shake him as I put a hand on his side. He rolls over to face me.
My heart breaks as I see tear stained jewel blue eyes. "Hey Mike. You OK bro?" I ask trying struggling to find the right words to say. He simply nods smiles forcing it. I don't buy it ofcourse. And I think he realized that as well.
I stare softly into my youngest brother's eyes. "Was it a nightmare?" He shakes his head no. At first I thought he was lying. Until I heard him whisper something I couldn't here. "What did ya say?" I knew I shouldn't have said it like that.
"It wasn't a nightmare." He whispers a bit louder. "It was a memory." At that I froze. What could have been so bad it scared my little bro like this? I thought about the Shredder. That was when it hit me. Hard. Mikey was scared all through that process. So why wouldn't he have flashbacks? It all made sense. Right?
Mike had calmed down, he started talk again. "It was all the times we were fitting the foot." his voice was a little horse as he spoke. "When we got our blood drained, or dad almost died." I almost choked on air when I heard the usually happy turtle mentioned Master Splinter. I never experienced the blood thing but I was there after Shredder had almost finished off father. After he had taken my bros.
I wrap my arms around my youngest sibling. He looked up at me with wonder. Probably wondering why this hothead was acting all soft. Well this was the only time he was gonna see that. But I knew he was make fun later on.
"Just sleep little dude." I whisper. He shook his head slowly. "Raphie I can't sleep. Or the memories will come back!" the look on his face said it all. He was scared. "Don't worry I won't leave you." "Promise?" I couldn't help but chuckle as he sound like a little kid. "Promise." I reply. And with that, he was out like a light.
