Hi everyone! I'm back from my holiday and had a great time. Unfortunately for you guys I'm going on another one next week, but to make it up I'll post one more chapter this week. I hope you enjoy it!
Donnie's POV
Back in the lair I got straight to my lab. 'What are you, what do you do?' Mumbled I to myself. I could hear Mikey in de living room, usually he would play video games and laugh. But this time I could hear him talking to Master Splinter. Hearing the story again was awful. I stopped listening and focused on the analyse.
'Donatello, can I have a word?' Master Splinter entered my lab. 'Sure' Said I with a sigh, not looking at him. 'Michelangelo told me what happened, but I also want to hear your side of the story.' Said he with a natural tone. My hands stopped moving and I accidently dropped my forceps.
'Raph flew against the wall and I tried to help him… But I made it worse. The purple-blue serum and a beam came down on him. I left him alone. It's my fault.' Said I with pauses and a broken voice of regret.
Memories of me and Raph kept on going through my head, they wouldn't stop, happy memories. Like when we would prank Mikey and Leo, those were the golden days. But also, the times he made a fool of me. At those moments, I wish he'd be gone, but not dead.
'I am completely sure you did not make this happen, my son.' He put his hand on my shoulder. Normally his voice would calm me down. But not this time, the memories of Raph and I… a tear came down my cheek, before I knew it I was crying. Master Splinter was long gone. There was no one to calm me down.
My T-Phone rang. It was Casey. Not in the mood right now. He rang again, still didn't pick-up. But when he rang for the third time I answered.
'What do you want Casey, I'm very busy at the moment!' Said I, maybe a too angry.
'It's Raph! He showed up at my doorstep. There is something wrong! You have to come over here! Now!' Casey's voice was panicking.
But I didn't care. Raph was a live! I ran over to the living room to tell the others the good news.
'Casey found Raphl! He is alive!' I nearly screamed.

The turtles went to Casey's home, not caring that it was the middle of the day. When they arrived, Donnie examined him. His temperature was high, very high. But he was shivering like he was cold. His skin was pale and was breathing heavily and stopped breathing once. The turtles took him to the lair and Donnie examined him all night trying to find out what was wrong.
Every time Donnie came out of his lab, his brothers, April and Casey looked at him. He shook his head and walked to the kitchen to get more fresh water for Raph.
Donnie's POV
'Donnie?' Leo said. I didn't react, no time. 'Donnie' Leo commanded. Still didn't react. 'Donnie! Listen to me!' Leo yelled at me. Slowly I turned around and looked him in the eye.
'You have to rest, you're here all the time. It's time to sleep.' Leo's voice had a calming effect. I looked at Raph he coughed, but was still unconscious. Leo came up to me and laid his hand on my shoulder.
'I have to finish this and then maybe I can…' Before I could finish my sentence, Leo interrupted.
'Yes, I know Donnie, but there will always be something you have to finish. You said an hour ago 'I'm nearly done, give me ten minutes'. Leo said with a concerned voice.
'Fine!' I gave in.
'I'll wait here with Raph. If something happens I'll get you. But for now, rest' Leo turned to Raph and sat at my chair. I got to my room, straight to bed and fell in a deep sleep.
I dreamt about Raph and me. We were in boat at night, the coast was nowhere to be seen. Raph fell out of the boat and I just sat there, not even raising a finger to help him. He drowned and I screamed as loud as I could, until my lungs gave up.
'Donnie, mate! Wake up!' Mikey said. 'Raph is awake! But there's something wrong with him!' All the sleepiness in my body disappeared within seconds.
In my lab, I saw Leo helping Raph to stand up.
'I'm fine! I'm Fine! I am completely capable of walking, thanks!' Said Raph, annoyed as ever.
'Raph, you're...!' Raph turned around and I saw his face. I could not believe my own eyes. I froze and he saw that.
'Donnie what's wrong? I gave no answer.
'What. Is. It!' He shouted. But I still didn't answer. Was I still dreaming?
Raph looked at me and he was… he looked afraid? No. Raph is never afraid.
'Raph…You're human.'
