Raph and Mikey had chosen the left tunnel opposed to the right tunnel. Well, Raph chose it. Mikey was being oddly quiet around his hot tempered brother. Raph whipped out his T-phone and looked at the other two red blotches on the phone.
They were still a good distance from each other. At least a few miles. Mikey watched as they passed several walls. He hadn't really wanted to look at his ill tempered brother, afraid he'd say the wrong thing and make him mad, and possibly leaving him behind.
Mikey cursed himself for the tears that had peeked in his eyes. He hated appearing weak. This all of his brothers knew. He was always degraded for being the youngest, so if he didn't appear weak mentally or emotionally maybe that would up his physical cred.
But it hadn't really.
"Do you think we'll find the others?" Mikey asked, surprising himself. Raph sighed.
"We have to. We have to find Splinter as well." Raph replied in a gruff voice. Mikey frowned. It wasn't a yes. It wasn't a no. It wasn't anything. He placed a hand on his pained head. He had been hit with debris,
but none of his brothers had noticed. But he could fight it off.
Couldn't he?
He had to.
Raph hated how silent his normally loud brother was being. It didn't seem like him. He considered that Mikey may have gotten hit with something, but he hadn't seen anything. Nothing that could have signaled him getting hit.
Soon the pain became unbareable, and Mikey stopped walking altogether. Raph turned towards him and cocked an eyebrow. "Mike? You ok, bro?"
Mikey fell to his knees in pain. "My head hurts, Raphie." Raph's eyes widened and he knealt by his suffering brother. Raph wasn't a genius like Donnie and he wasn't anywhere as near as calm as Leo.
"Move your hands, so I can look at it." Mikey obeyed and Raph inspected his baby brother's head. There was a nasty forming bruise forming on his head. Raph winced at how painful it looked. It was rapidly growing larger and looking more black by the second. At this point Mikey threw his hands back up to his head and scrunched his eyes in pain.
"It hurts, Raphie!"
Raph looked at his brother in fear and concern. What do I do, he asked himself silently. He enveloped Mikey in a comforting hug and tried to soothe the pain away from his injured brother. "Calm down, Mikey.
Just think. We'll find Leo, Donnie, and Father, and we'll go and find a new home. One better than our old.
Maybe even further from Shredder, so he can't find us."
Mikey nodded gently against Raph's plastron. Suddenly, the ground began to shake once more. Mikey looked around in fear as Raph hugged him tightly, covering his head. Mikey felt the ground shift from under him and the next thing he knew he was falling. His hand caught a ledge making him several yards away from Raph.
"Raph!" He yelled in fear as he hung from the ledge that was threatening to break way. Raph looked at his brother in fear. He had to get to him! But how?! If he didn't hurry soon, Mikey would fall and die. And he couldn't allow the only piece of light in his life to die.
He just couldn't.
So short, but it has suspense! I left you guys at a literal cliff hanger. Hah! Did you like it, love it, hate it? Let me know. Your opinion matters. :)
