Hi fellas! Here's the 2d chapter. I'm not the turtles' owner. Enjoy ^_^!

CHAPTER 2: TALKING WITH DON

Raphael couldn't sleep because of his nightmares… "Man… I'm such an idiot!" – He said, pulling out his sais and throwing them on his hammock. He left the bedroom and walked to Donatello's lab. He was shivering, still afraid to face Leonardo… but he had to do it someday.

Donatello had left the lab for a while so… it was the perfect time. He walked a few steps and then he froze on the laboratory door.

"C'mon, you can do it!" – He said to himself. But it was useless. He was frozen on that place when Donatello came back.

"Raph? Need something?" the purple banded turtle asked.

"N-no, no. I'm… just… fine" the red banded turtle nervously answered and went away from the place.

"Raph… we need to talk" Donatello said in a serious voice. Raphael didn't turn back to see his brother and kept his gaze on the floor.

"Please, follow me" the purple banded turtle said and went to the kitchen, Raphael followed him. Donatello picked a chair and sat down.

"Please, have a sit." Raphael did. His gaze was still on the floor.

Donatello sighed… "Raph… I've analyzed Leo's wound. It has 3 indents on the sides. That means only one thing…"

Raph was sweating cold… he knew Don would blame him, hate him and maybe Mikey too.

Donatello continued… "It's a sai wound. And I don't think you got ambushed by Foot Ninjas so… I want you to answer only one question…"

Raph's gaze was still on the floor. Donatello noticed that… "Raph… look at me." Raphael didn't.

"Raphael… look at me!" Raphael lifted his head slowly. He noticed his brother's eyes had small tears.

"Why did you do THAT to Leo... and I want the truth!" Donatello said angrily.

"Donnie I… I know ya want the truth but… it's … kinda hard to say right now. I'm still… confused. Man! I was just… I mean… well… I-I really don't know!" Raphael was trying to say the correct words to his young brother but it was difficult. Leo was Don's hero and he knew it. He almost killed Don's hero!

"But… Leo's our brother… Your brother! He's not an enemy… and you almost…" Donatello sobbed. The idea of losing his brother, his hero… was killing him.

Raphael put a hand on his young brother shoulder.

"Look Donnie… I was outta my mind. I wasn't thinking! Ya know… when I'm in my hothead mood I can do really stupid things and I know this was the worst. I ain't asking ya to forgive me so… don't feel guilty if ya don't want to do it."

Raphael stood up. "If yer gonna tell this to Master Splinter or Mikey… go ahead. I ain't gonna stop ya."

Raphael was leaving when he felt a grip on his hand.

"I haven't finished yet!" Donatello said. Raphael sat down again... his gaze was now on his brother's eyes.

"Listen… although you almost killed Leo… I can't hate you. I'm not going to tell anybody about this… but you have to promise me you're gonna talk to Leo."

Raphael was more surprised… first, Leo didn't blame him and now Donnie?

"Promise me, Raph!" Donatello replied.

"Ok, ok! I promise. I'm gonna talk to him."

"Thanks Raph… I really appreciate it" Donatello said wiping his tears.

"Don, ya hafta tell me… how's Leo? " Raphael asked, hoping his brother wouldn't be as bad as he thought.

"Well… he lost a lot of blood; the slash on his face was dangerously close to his eye but it's nothing to worry about and he won't be able to move his arm for two weeks."

Raphael put a hand on his forehead "Oh Shell! What an idiot I am!"

"To be honest, I was shocked he still could breath! But… anyway… I think I'm gonna check if he's awake." Donatello stood up.

"Ya think he's gonna make it?" Raphael asked nervously.

Donatello put a hand on his brother' shell - "Well… only time will say."Donatello left the room leaving Raphael alone with his thoughts again.
