A Forest of Horrors

Chapter 1

Leonardo was the first to wake that morning, as usual. Ever since the fight with Winter's stone generals ended everything had went back to normal fairly quickly. well.. almost normal.. everyone had been very.. well... careful around each other, They got along but they were afraid of upsetting each other.

Leo still felt extremely bad for leaving for two years and what made it worse was he knew the others hadn't forgiven him.

Nobody had shared any stories of their absence, they didn't want to bring it up!

Leo sighed as he got out of his bed and made his way downstairs, he made himself a cup of tea before sitting at the table. He wanted to go out and get a newspaper to read but he just didn't feel like it, He wanted to sit down and think.

There was a small noise from upstairs and then all of his family came down, leo was a little surprised to see them up this early!

They all got the different things they wanted for breakfast before sitting at the table. There was a strange silence, the other kept looking up at him before quickly looking down.

Leo quickly finished his tea, he was about to get up when his shell cell began to ring. he stood up and answered it as he left the room.

''hello?''

''Hey Leo?'' It was April and she sounded confused,

''What's wrong April?'' leo asked worriedly,

''Nothing's wrong but.. a letter came for you..''

''What? a letter for me? who'd send me a letter?'' leo asked confused as his brothers came out the dining room,

''I don't know'' April answered, ''Why'd it come through my door?''

''I honestly don't know..'' leo frowned, ''I'll come over and get it ok?''

''Sure'' April sounded like she was grinning, his brothers were smirking too.

''I'm on my way'' Leo answered back.

''Can you hand the phone to Raph before you come?''

''um.. sure?'' Leo handed his phone to Raph before leaving the lair.

''Good distraction Ape!'' Raph grinned, ''We'll have it all ready by the time he comes back''

''great! I can't wait for this party! Leo's gonna love it'' April answered happily, ''But you should know.. i didn't make it up.. there really is a letter here for leo''

''Really?.. that's weird'' Raph frowned before shrugging it off, ''We'll worry about it after the party, see ya April''

''Bye Raph''

Raphael hung up on April before turning to his brothers, ''Lets get this place ready''

...

Leo arrived at April's place in record time, he handed him the letter before sitting him down.

''Any idea who it's from?'' She asked carefully. Leo stared at the from of the envelope.

''I recognise the handwriting.. i just hope I'm wrong'' Leo murmured before opening the letter and unfolding it.

His eyes widened as he read it.

''leo?'' April frowned but Leo jumped off the couch with a wild look in his eyes.

...

Mikey had just finished decorating the cake when his Shell cell went off, he answered it and went into the living rom where his two other brothers were deciding on how to decorate the room.

''Hey April'' Mike smiled,

''Mikey! Leo's gone!'' April said quickly,

''Aww man! you were supposed to keep him there! we've barely started decorating!'' Mikey moaned as his brothers groaned angrily.

''Mikey! Seriously! leo just ran out of my house! he read the letter and.. i think he's scared or something'' April said seriously, ''I don't know if he's on his way back to you guys or if he's just running blindly around New York!''

Mikey just stood there in a shocked silence, Don and Raph stood in front of him in concern.

''Mikey?'' April asked timidly,

''Th-Thanks April.. we'll try to find him'' Mikey gulped before hanging up.

''What's wrong Mike?'' Raph asked worriedly.

''Leo read the letter and ran away'' Mikey frowned, ''He's gone''

''Gone? gone where?'' Donnie asked curiously. His question was answered by the sound of the lair door opening and leo rushed in madly.

''Leo?'' Raph stared in surprise as Leo snatched the shell cell from Mikey's hand and quickly dialled a number.

He held it to his ear and waited for someone to answer..

But no one did.

''DAMN IT'' Leo growled as he hung up, he turned to face his concerned and slightly frightened brothers. ''I'm sorry'' he whispered sadly, ''But I have to go back to the rainforest''
