Raph gasped for breath as Vasari held him close. Leo, Donnie, and Mikey remained unconscious on the floor after Shredder had pounded them to the ground. Raph had been stabbed and was bleeding out quickly. Vasari looked around desperately trying to find something, anything so she could stem the blood flow. She was doing the best he could with what she had when Raph grabbed her wrist.

''Don't Vasari...let it go. It's not worth it,'' he said in a hoarse voice.

Vasari grabbed his hand tightly and presses her forehead to his, her heart dreading that these might be her final moments with him.

'' No Raph, please! We need you! You can't leave like this...,'' she pleaded with him.

''it's fine Vasari...f-forget it. Just take care of them...,''

''Raph, please! I-I can't live without you!'' she yelled, the tears falling rapidly as she buried her head in his shoulder. Raph just smiled weakly

''I love you, Vasari,'' he said drawing his final breath

''I l-love you too Raph...'' She didn't hear him breathing and let out an anguished scream, sobs wracking her body

''RAPHAEL!''

Vasari woke up with a start, her heart pounding in her ears. She felt hot tears slide down her face as she remembered the dream. All she needed was to know that Raph was okay. The door suddenly burst and a tense-looking Raphael entered the room,

''Vasari, you okay?'' he asked, the worry audible in his voice. Vasari looked up at him, slightly relaxing to see him alive.

''I'm fine Raph. Go away,'' she replied. She resisted the urge to go up and hug him but she didn't want him to worry.

''Are you sure?'' he asked still not entirely convinced. ''I thought I heard crying and maybe even a few screams,''

''I said I'm fine! GO!''

Raphael, being the stubborn turtle he was entered the room and sat down in the chair. ''I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong,'' he calmly stated.

More tears slid down her face the longer Vasari looked at him. Raph looked shocked but immediately went up to her, letting her sob into his shoulder. Once she had calmed down, she pulled away.

''What happened?'' he asked. Vasari just shook her head refusing to say anything.

''C'mon, you can tell me. That's what big brothers are for.''

''I had a nightmare,'' she said quietly. Her chest tightened again but she kept going. ''It was a fight with Shredder and you got stabbed,''

Her shoulders began to shake and she hugged him tightly letting the tears fall, ''You died in my arms Raph!'' she yelled.

Raph felt horrible not ever wanting his little sister to go through that. He rubbed her back soothingly in an effort to calm her down.

''Shhh...I'm here now. It's fine, I'm alright.''

''Raph promise me something,'' she said.

''Anything,''

''Promise me you'll never leave me,''

Raph sighed, not wanting to make a promise that he knew he could easily break. But desperate times call for desperate measures.

''I promise,'' he said.

Raph felt her breathing even out and knew that she was asleep. He kissed her on the forehead and tucked her in.

'I won't leave you, sis, even if I do die'
