Disclaimer: I don't own the turtles, wish I did but I don't so enjoy. I had to update this part because I left some stuff out that i shouldn't have.
Leo's name was called by everyone when he crashed through the window of April's apartment and landed on the floor in a beaten mess. I was going to go find out who did it and make them pay but his weak voice saying my name stopped me. None of us expected to hear what he had to tell us.
"He's back. The Shredder." He lost consciousness directly after speaking. Mikey started panicking like usual and before we knew it we were trapped in a battle for our lives that ended in April's apartment going up in smoke. We're in a trailer on the way to Casey's grandma's house now and were still not sure if Leo will make it. I know I'm the tough turtle but I don't want to loose my big bro anytime soon.
I finished writing and put my journal back in my backpack. I sat wrapped in a blanket across the trailer from Mikey and Donnie shivering in their sleep. 'It sucks to be in Massachusetts in the winter when you're cold-blooded.' I glance over to Master Splinter who has Leo's head on his lap. I moved closer to Master Splinter and asked softly.
"How's he doin' Master?"
"I'm afraid it is still to soon to know for sure Raphael." He sighs sadly. "I fear that this cold temperature will harm him more." I have to roll my eyes to that.
"This is Leo we're talkin' 'bout. He can handle anything especially a li'l cold." Even I know that that was the worst lie I ever told. None of us can handle this kinda cold especially Leo. "Master Splinter, what if he doesn't make it?" I look to Master Splinter when he says nothing. The look of sadness and fear I see in his eyes tells me all I need to know. 'If Leo doesn't make it then we'll all be lost.' Master Splinter's sighing brings me out of my thoughts.
"It is late Raphael. Rest now and we can worry about everything in the morning. Sleep well my son."
"G'night Master Splinter." I bow my head and move close to Mikey and Donnie. My sleep was filled with dreams of Leo, both good and bad.
It felt like the next morning came too soon for me. When I woke up Mikey was snuggled up against me shivering like crazy and Donnie was snuggled closer to Master Splinter. Master Splinter had his hand on Leo's forehead.
"Man it sucks to be cold-blooded." I would agree but I'm too busy shivering to say anything.
"Is he gonna make it sensei?"
"Only time will tell." Master Splinter tucks Leo's blanket around him more and looks down at Leo sadly.
We finally arrived at Casey's Grandma's farm house and honestly I think it won't last the night but that's just my opinion. Casey and Mikey went to get fire wood and April went inside to check the fire place. Donnie and I helped Master Splinter carry Leo inside and put a heavy blanket over him. Mikey and Casey came in talking about the condition of the farm house.
"Alright, so it needs a li'l fixin' up. The place got a li'l run down since grandma passed away." April makes soot fall from the chimney making her and Mikey start coughing.
"When was that? In the late Jurassic?"
"Dude, ya live in a sewer." I turn my attention back to Leo when he groans.
"Why won't he wake up?" I punched the wall when I said this. It's been hours since his made a sound and I'm getting tired of waiting. Master Splinter places his hand on Leo's head.
"Healing takes time and Leonardo is recovering from more than just physical wounds. His spirit has also been grievously injured." When he took his hand from Leo's head he stirred. Slowly Leo opened his eyes. He looked at us confused. Usually when he wakes up his confused but something felt different about this time.
"Um, hi. Do I know all of you?" I wasn't expecting that and from the hurt and shocked looks of everyone else neither did they.
This my version of Tales of Leo. Please leave a review to tell me how it is. btw I got a poll on my account for which turtle my next one-shot should be about.
