UPDATE!
I don't own them!
"Well, his vital signs are normal again and his pulse is slowing. He'll be ok in the morning" Don said.
"What could have happened to him? He was so pale!" Leo said in concern.
"When I found him he was shiverin' a little and looked haunted or sumthin'… it was like he had seen a horror movie!" Raph added.
"Maybe he saw something there, the place looked very old and with signs of fire… what if he saw a corpse or burned bones or maybe worse!" Don said in a worried tone.
"We should go back and check that building again, just to be sure" Leo said.
"I don't think we should leave Mikey alone; he could wake up and need something and…"
"Sensei is here, Donnie. And I'm sure the numbskull will be fine" Raph said.
In his room, Mikey was having his own problems to deal with while his brothers talked. He wasn't sure if this was a dream, an illusion or a nightmare, but he was all alone in a dark place surrounded by the smell of burned things. He tried to run away from that smell but it was impossible; then he found himself in the room he had seen Mrs. Ruiz. There she was, alone, sad and… crying? Mikey could swear she was crying.
"Danny…" she said between sobs. Then she looked at Mikey directly in the eyes: the young ninja was panicked! He ran and ran but he couldn't escape from her sight. Those dark eyes looked so sad but made Mikey shiver in fear.
"What do you want from me? Why are you haunting me? Leave me alone!" Mikey yelled in his dream. He woke up sweating and breathing rapidly.
"It was… just a dream… j-just… a dream" Mikey stuttered and hugged his arms around his legs. Klunk jumped on his bed and purred trying to comfort his owner.
"Hey, little fella. I'm glad you're here; I had the worse dream ever" Mikey said as he laid on the bed again and put Klunk on his chest.
"But now you're here, I guess I'll be fine" Mikey said caressing Klunk's head making him purr again.
Both were falling asleep but suddenly Klunk's eyes opened wide and stood on his four legs in an attacking pose, meowing and growling to a spot near Mikey's bed. With all the noise, Mikey woke up again.
"W-what… what's up Klunk? What's the matter?"
"Sorry, I didn't want to scare you Mikey" Mrs. Ruiz said. Mikey rubbed his eyes and looked again; this wasn't a dream, Mrs. Ruiz was there and he was awake.
"LEAVE ME ALONE, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Mikey screamed in fear.
"Wasn't that Mikey screaming?" Don asked as he heard the scream.
"Seems like he's having a nightmare" Leo said and went upstairs. He found his little brother looking at a specific place beside his bed, screaming in terror.
"GET AWAY, LEAVE ME ALONE! LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Mikey?" Leo asked in concern.
"PLEASE, LEAVE ME ALONE!" Mikey kept screaming and started crying a little.
"Mikey, Mikey! It's ok, I'm here!" Leo said sitting beside his brother who shivered and cried in fear.
"Mikey, are you ok? What happened?"
"There! She was there!" Mikey said pointing at the place he had seen Mrs. Ruiz.
"What are you talking about?" Mikey looked again… nothing.
"She's… gone… but…"
"Mikey, what are you talking about? There's no one there!" Leo said.
"Is everything alright here?" Don said entering into the room.
"He told me something about someone here in his room" Leo said.
"But she was here! I swear! Didn't you see her Leo? She was still here when you came in!" Mikey said.
"I didn't see anyone here, Mikey. Just Klunk and you!" Leo added.
"Maybe you just had a nightmare, Mikey. It's ok" Don said.
"Y-yeah… I guess you're right. Maybe it's… just my mind" Mikey said sighing.
"Ok, let's talk about this tomorrow. It's late and we all need to sleep. We're gonna let you rest Mikey, if you need something just call us" Leo said and stood up.
"NO! Please Leo, don't go! I can't sleep alone tonight! Please!" Mikey said grabbing Leo's wrist.
"Don't worry Mikey, I'll stay. Don, go to sleep. I'll take care of this"
"Ok, night guys" Don said and left the room.
"Mikey, can you tell me who is this 'she' you're talking about?" Leo said sitting beside Mikey.
"You wouldn't believe me if I tell you" Mikey said sadly.
"C'mon, of course I'll believe you. We've passed through weird things before and I don't think this would be different"
"Remember that old building when we were playing hide and seek? Well, I saw something there" Mikey said.
"What did you see?"
"A woman"
"And did she see you?" Leo asked a little shocked. All of them knew they couldn't allow themselves to be seen for humans except for their friends April and Casey.
"Yeah, she wasn't scared of me though" Mikey explained.
"That's new. Was she hurt?" Leo continued feeling a little relieved.
"No… but…" Mikey continued but was interrupted by Leo.
"Then why are you so scared?"
"Because she was dead! And…" Mikey tried to continue but Leo kept talking.
"So, you saw her corpse?"
"NO! Leo, let me finish please!" Mikey said angrily.
"Sorry, continue"
"She was dead, yeah. But… when I said I saw her I meant not her real self… I saw her ghost" Mikey said.
"A ghost? Mikey, ghosts are…" Leo was cut off by an angry Mikey.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me!" Mikey said angrily crossing his arms.
"It's not that, Mikey! It's just… weird and… sounds hard to believe. No living being had seen ghosts before" Leo explained.
"Well I did! And she was here! She followed me!" Mikey said scared.
"Ok, ok… this is getting weirder and weirder. I guess we'll have to tell this to Splinter tomorrow morning, ok? He'll know what to do" Leo said trying to comfort his brother.
"Ok, but… Leo…"
"Hmmm?"
"You believe me, right?" Mikey asked with a childlike tone.
"I… eh…" Leo doubted. He didn't believe him but he didn't want to hurt his brother.
"Just tell me the truth" Mikey insisted.
"I want to believe you, Mikey. But I'm kinda skeptic" Leo said sadly.
"That's another way to say you don't believe me" Mikey sighed.
"Mikey, I'm not saying that. Maybe you're right and you see a ghost or maybe you're not. We'll know that tomorrow, ok. You need to sleep" Leo said covering his brother with a blanket.
"OK, you'll stay here… right?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, I'll stay" Leo smiled and laid beside his brother. Tomorrow, it was gonna be a long day, long and weird.
