Disclaimer: still no...unfortunately.
Another crazy nightmare..."shutters"
Blades
Blood, red rivers, icy wind whipping my brother's mask, blood everywhere...
I jerk upward and gasp, but I can't escape the nightmare...because its not a nightmare...it happened...
The sound of blades going through flesh, cuting bone, keratin...the screams of my brother as he took each blow, sheilding me...trying to keep them away from me...the blood, so much of it, my brother's eyes as they focused on me...giving me strength...calm...the sight of the knife at my brother's throat, the spray of red, the way it flowed over his plastron...the knife being dragged across his face...red rivers...my brother's eyes...sliced open...sight snatched away...he screamed then...
I sob and try to shake the memory from my head, it won't leave...
My brother's body limp, blood everywhere....they kept hacking into him...called him a freak...they mutilated him...his face was gone, shreds of bloody flesh hanging down...
I sit up and sob uncontrollably, clutching my head in my hands, begging the flashback to stop...
I was frozen in the shadows...he took all the pain all the brunt of those blades...he told me to hide....that everything would be ok...
I drag myself out of bed and stagger down the hall toward his empty room...I sob as I see the fine layer of dust...the uncleaned katanas.
I drop beside him, struggling to make the bleeding stop...
"Leo..no..." I sob, "please...no...please..."
His chest heaves, blood gushes from his throat, he convulses and goes limp. I scream.
"LEO!!"
"Don," Mikey whispers, I cling to him and we cry...first Raph...now Leo...Mikey still has scars from that fire...I can't touch knives anymore, can't look at them.
Leo, Fearless Leader, my big brother...he took those blades for me...he said everything would be ok...
