Near Death CH. 4

Leo's P.O.V.

Everything was hurt. My whole body, I couldn't move at all. I slowly opened my eyes to face total darkness. I struggle to get to my feet when I realized that I couldn't move my arms. I looked down to see that my wrists were cuffed together and they were connected to the wall by a chain. I pull desperately at chains, hoping that they'll break. After a couple minutes, I sat against wall, exhausted and a little bit frightened. I was scared that Spike- I mean Slash, had gotten Raph and Donnie. What if they were here and I couldn't do anything to help them!

"H-Hello?" I called out not too loudly. I waited patiently for a response. When I got nothing more than a drop of water sound in the distance, I just gave up. My blades were missing and the last thing I remembered was hearing Raph scream out my name while someone was dragging me off somewhere else.

I buried my face in my knees. Many thoughts flooded through my mind when I heard a familiar laugh. I jerked my head up to see Slash with an evil grin on his face.

"Well… well… what do we have here?" Slash mocked, "Is the 'Fearless Leader' acting like a baby?"

I silently growled at the comment, "A baby? In your dreams Slash…"

Slash looked me right in the eyes and smiled, "You failed… you failed you mission…"

I was hit strongly by those two words! 'You Failed'… I clenched my fist tightly and growled loudly, "Y-Your w-wrong Slash… I didn't f-fail…"

Slash laughed louder, "Oh you didn't did you? Well… we'll just see about that!" He pulled out a key and unchained Leo to the wall, "Let's have some fun shall we?" He pulled Leo to a small room and shut the door.

Mikey's P.O.V

When I woke up, I was greeted by a loud crash which make me jerk up, a little too fast though. My body suddenly surged with pain, "Ow!" When the pain went away.

I slowly got out of bed and started to slowly make my way downstairs, while overhearing Raph scream like shell.

"GAH! THAT D**N TURTLE! GOD! WHY THE SHELL DID I EVEN ADOPT HIM?!"

I turned the corner to see Raph punch a shell of a hole into the wall. That action made me frightened causing me to widen my eyes as far as they could.

No one's P.O.V.

"Raph… come on! Settle down!" Donnie pleaded. He too was getting scared of Raph's actions.

Raph didn't stop, he continued to do these actions until out of the corner of his eye he saw his baby brother's head poking from around the corner. Raph stopped immediately when he saw how frightened Mikey was. His two baby blue eyes were filled with fright.

"Aw shell…" Raph mumbled, "I'm sorry Mikey… I didn't mean to frighten ya…" He walked over to his younger brother and held his hand then led him into the main room.

Mikey then noticed that their oldest brother was present, "Raph?"

"Yeah Mikey?"

"Where's Leo?"

Raph flinched. He didn't plan on telling Mikey what had happened, "Uh… well ya see Mikey… uh…"

Mikey waited patiently for an answer when he realized what had happened, "S-Spike… he got L-Leo?!"

Raph slowly nodded his head.

Mikey was taken back by this, "Well, we have to go and save Leo!"

"But we don't even know where Slash is keeping Leo…" Donnie persisted.

Raph was about to say something when all of them heard a loud and painful scream.

"Oh god! That's Leo!" Mikey yelled in fright.

There was a fire building up inside of Raph that had just gotten bigger, "Then that's exactly what we're going to do!" He raced out of the Lair with Mikey and Donnie close behind him.

Slash held up a knife with blood on it, "See? That wasn't so bad…" He laughed silently.

Leo was gasping for breath, Slash had just cut down the center of his chest causing blood to flow out.

Slash put the knife down then pulled out a hand cover that had three long blades attached to it. Leo's eyes widened and saw Slash lift his hand and sent it crashing down with a great force on his neck.

"GAAAAAAHHHHH" Leo screamed loudly in pain.

Slash smiled and then started to swipe back and forth over Leo's body leaving cuts and scars all over his arms, legs, face, and chest.

After a good 30 minutes of this torcher, Slash stopped and happily looked over what he had done. Leo was gasping for life as blood was bleeding out of his body quickly.

Slash laughed, "Having a good end of your life?"

Leo struggled to keep his eyes open, but soon let his consciousness slip away and blacked out.

Slash smiled, but was suddenly pounded to the ground by a heavy force, "Donnie! Mikey! Get Leo out of here! I have a score to settle with Spike!"

Donnie and Mikey didn't hesitate and quickly picked Leo up and rushed him out.

Raph jumped off of Slash and angrily gripped his Sai, "You'll pay for hurting my big brother!"

Slash made his way to his feet, "Oh will I now…"

"Yeah now just shut up and fight me!" Raph lunged at Slash with great force.

Slash blocked the blow with his club and then swung it at Raph.

The two went back and forth like this for hours, until Slash began to weaken. Raph took this chance to do the final blow.

He charged at Slash, jumped and slashed both his Sais at Slash's neck. Blood poured out creating a giant pool of blood.

Raph tried hard not to shed a tear but he lost the battle and tears flowed down his cheeks, "I'm sorry Spike… but you gave me no choice…" Raph ran out of the room and headed back to the lair to find Donnie just finishing patching up Leo's wounds.

"How is he Don?" Raph asked with worry.

Donnie looked at him, "He'll be fine… but it'll take him a longer time to heal."

"Gah… this is all my fault…" Raph walked away only to be blocked by his little brother, "No way dude! You did what you had too…"

Raph looked at Mikey and sighed. He pulled his baby brother into a hug, "Thanks shell-for-brains…"

Mikey smiled, "Hey!"

Donnie smiled at his two brothers, "Having a good time over there?

Raph looked at him then pulled him into the hug, "You're no better than Mikey is!"

"No I'm not!" Donnie laughed.

Raph hugged his little brothers tightly and smiled. Finally, everything was just how it should be…

THE END
