Hi everyone!
Thanks for the support so far! I'm going on a holiday and I don't know if I have wifi over there. So I have no idea when I'm going to post another chapter. But for now, here is chapter 2. Enjoy!
Donnie's POV
When Raph got smacked against the wall I ran over to him to help. But I screwed up and made everything worse. The purple-blue slime is now al over Raph, everywhere is smoke, a metal beam came down on us. I found a way to get free but when I got free Leo grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the smoke, out of the building, without Raph.
'Where is Raph?' Mikey said. Leo and Mikey looked at me. There was a silence.
'Raph was with you Donnie, wasn't he?' Leo asked. The smoke made my eyes tear and my throat sore.
'There was… A metal beam…It fell down on us. I got away but Raph…' Mikey looked at the building. It doesn't even have the shape of the building anymore. Now it was just a big fire.
'We have to go and get him! Mikey yelled at me and Leo. Nobody moved.
'We have to! What if he needs help, what if he's trapped.!' Mikey's eyes got teary from smoke and from fear.
'Guys.' My throat hurt so much I could barely speak or breath. 'The slime. It came on Raph.' I said with pauses. Leo froze.
'What is going to happen to Raph?' Asked Leo a little unsecure. Like he wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer.
'No idea, but I have some of it left. I can analyse it in the lair.'
'But we have to get Raph out of the building!' Mikey started again. It was Leo who brought him the news.
'Mikey…There is no way Raphael is going to survive this.' We all looked to the building. So many thoughts on my mind. Raph could be an annoying jerk and there where times I wished he'd be gone. But this…It didn't want this.
'Let's go home guys, before the police and the fire brigade come.' We went home without saying anything to each other.
Raphael's POV
The smell of trash and sweat filled the room. I lifted my head and a sharp pain went through my head. I laid my head down again. It was chilly and I could smell that it had been raining, but I wasn't wet. When I tried to sit up I had some trouble moving my leg.
Wait. What? How did I get out of the collapsing building? Thinking was very difficult with all the headache. I stood up and was a little dizzy, I walked for like 10 seconds and threw up. 'Nice way to start the morning Raph!' I said to myself.
'You have woken up!' A high voice said. It scared me, I thought I was alone. I tried to grab my sai, but they were both gone.
'Who are you! Show your self!' A guy with dirty clothes and a smell that was worse than a garbage dump came up to me.
'How are the clothes? Do the fit?' I don't really see many people of your age around here, so this was the best I could find.' I was flabbergasted. Since when did I have clothes on? Why isn't he afraid of me?
'Uhh… yeah… they fit I think… thanks.' I looked down and saw a cream colored sweater, brown jeans and some sort of sandals or it were shoes who had holes everywhere.
'I am Broke. Who are you?' Said the guy.
'I'm… Raphael, but the most people call me Raph.'
'Do you mind me telling where we are? What day is it? Why did you give me clothes? What happened?' I asked him all the questions that were on my mind.
Before Broke could even answer any of my questions a sharp pain went through my stomach. I fell down, I never had felt so much pain.
'Lay down. Rest! I'll bring you something to drink.' Said Broke, with a tone of worry.
The pain got worse and I didn't stop. Sweat came down my forehead. I started to cry, I never cry, I hate crying. It is a weakness and I always prevent weaknesses. Slowly the pain got less and stopped. Broke came back and gave me something to drink. I was so thirsty I didn't even look to see what I was drinking. But it wasn't very tastefully. When the bottle was empty I looked what it was. Beer. Broke saw how I was looking and it was like he could read my mind, which was a little scary.
'It is beer or nothing, I prefer the first option.' He said while drinking a beer himself. There was a pause, I felt a bit weird. A bit lighter in my head.
'Thanks, Broke.' I said.
'We all need someone my son.' He came to sit next to me and made fire in a bin to warm his hands. The warmth was comfortable and made me sleepy.
The next morning the sun woke me up. Brighter then usual, it looked like. My head was banging and I didn't want to open my eyes. Eventually I did and became aware of where I was. Not good. I was in the Bronx, one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods of the city. Broke was nowhere, the fire he made last night was gone and took all the comfortable warmth with it. I got up and walked, for as far as you can call it walking, maybe more stumbling.
'Just a couple blocks and then you'll be home Raph.' Said I, to encourage myself.
After ten minutes I had to stop, my body screamed for a pause. The best idea in months came up in me. Casey lived five minutes away from here. I'm not sure where exactly because I always see the rooftops and not really the streets. I walked for like fifteen minutes, maybe ten and saw Casey's car in front of his house. I stayed in the shadows and looked if his family was home. 'Shit!'
They were home. His little sister was playing with her dolls in the living room, his father was watching the news while his mother was cooking. I couldn't find Casey, what if he wasn't home? I looked up to see if there was any light coming from his room. I knew his room was on the second floor so I looked up. No light. I decided to wait until Casey came home, because walking home with this pain was not an option. After like two hours Casey finally came home.
'Casey finally you're home!' I said with relief.
'Raph?' He said with surprise and joy, but mostly surprise. 'What happened to you! Why are you wearing clothes? What are you doing here?'
Casey asked so many questions that my head couldn't bare it, the headache was back. Great! I got dizzy and would have fallen down if Casey didn't catch me. '
'Wow, take it easy man'. He said with his usual teasing voice. 'Have you been drinking? Your breath stinks of it!' He laughed.
I didn't react, I wasn't able to for some reason.
'Raph? Raph! Holy shit, are you alright?' He started to panic. 'I'm calling Donnie!'
