Wow, you guys are fast, it's nice to know people like my work. *Bows*. Over the top? I promised ya'll that I'll be quick.

-Mikey POV

I hit the ground hard and raced towards Leo. Raph and Donny are already there, kneeling over our motionless brother.

'Is he okay?' I asked, my voice trembling.

'Dunno, what happened?' Raph turned to look at me.

'He fell' I croak and tears started falling down my face. 'We were climbing. He slipped. I…I reached for him. He wasn't far away. I grabbed. But he fell. I couldn't catch him.'

'Just as well you didn't,' Don says, 'He'd have dragged you down with him.' Then he lifts Leo's head up and puts it on his lap, mostly to stop the bleeding coming from the back of his head. 'One of us has to get help, Mikey?'

I heard my name and dragged my eyes from Leo to Don.

'Have you got your shell cell?' Don was taking charge, he was the calmest of us three. Despite his cool appearance, Raph was visibly trembling. I nodded and took it out. Don looked at me, then said, 'Go east, the shell cell will tell you which way, keep going, don't stop for anything. Once you're out of the woods, ring April, she'll know where you are. Go!'

One last look at Leo and I was off. I climbed as fast as I could, Dons words echoing in my head. I let the tears fall freely. Once I'm out, I flip my shell cell open and frown. In the tiniest corner, was the usual north, south, east, west, rotating every time I turned. Donny never ceases to amaze me.

I lock on and take off, running as fast as I can, jumping over fallen trees, ducking under low branches. The scene playing over and over again in my head, the yelp Leo made, trying to reach for him, almost touching, the look on his face, surprise with a bit of fear, the rock he was holding onto giving away, the ghastly thud. I almost collapsed, thinking of it all.

Panting hard, dehydration setting in from all the crying, wondering if your brother is okay, checking occasionally if you're on the right course.

I come to a clearing and stop in my tracks, I gabbed in April's number, 'Hel-' I didn't let her get any further.

'April? We have a problem…'


Meanwhile…

-Don POV

Talking to Leo. All sorts of nonsense - training, Master Splinter, holidays, the next film Mikey will chose. After a while, Raph joins in.

Leo's breathing comes jaggedly, heartbeat irregular. I feel sick, never have we been in this kind of situation, without our father, April, Casey or any other ally, or Leo, if this happened to anyone else, Leo would keep us all calm and he'd know exactly what to do. I look at his face and silently beg him to open his eyes.

Leo shudders and his breathing stops. I thump his chest, hard, surprising Raph. April thought that because of all the dangers we get into, we should learn first aid. I try to bring all those classes back into mind.

I press firmly on his chest, then release and count. One, two, three, four. Press. And count again. A third time. I try remembering if I'm doing this right, was it three, four or five presses on the chest?

Leo coughs and breaths again. Raph and I breath out in relief.

'C'mon Leo, quit scarin us like that.' Raph was trying to get his breath back, 'could you imagine what the family would be like if you left? We'd have to listen to Mikey complain about everything, we'll be doomed.'

'We wouldn't be able to leave the lair at night because Raph would be scared of the dark' I chuckled weekly earning a glare from my brother beside me.

'I would die of boredom by living with these boneheads. Master Splinter would become bitter by not praising us for all the hard training we haven't been doing.'

We continued our little fantasies, it cheered us up the smallest bit and it kinda looks like Leo is smiling too.

It feels like hours since Mikey left. I should of told him to go west. Leo stopped breathing again but it didn't take us long to get him back. We were all in a state, dirty, sweating and crying. The bleeding has eased up a bit but I didn't trick myself into thinking that he's getting better. His blood is on my lap now and my hands but now is not the time to be squeamish.

All is silent exept for the waterfall, Leo and the faint sound of a motobike. He did it! Mikey made it out and got help. He might just have saved Leo's life.

Might…

Anyway, did they get there in time? Shall I be merciful or cruel?

Okay, wasn't that much longer, I'll admit, and I personally think the first chapter was better.
