Chapter 4:Struggles
Leo gritted his teeth as he staggered, leaning on the trees for a second before stumbling forward again. Home, he had to get home.
He lifted his head and saw the cabin, there were vehicles all around it.
"No, he rasped, vision darkening again, "No...I'm too late..."
He calapsed.

Mike stood up and walked over to check on the boys. Raph and Casey were talking and Fawn was talking to April. The boys were playing quietly on the floor. Mike smiled and closed the door. Returning to the living room. The sound of doors slamming made them all tense up. April peeked out the window and gasped.
"Guys we've got company," she said urgently. Fawn rushed to the kids and opened the door to Lenora's room. Mike and Raph quickly went to the boys' room.
Casey got up quickly.

"Come on you two, we got'ta book," Raph growled quietly. The boys looked up, fear and confusion in their eyes.
A gun shot and a cry made them turn.
"Where are they?" demanded a man's vioce.
"Casey," April sobbed.
"I'm alright babe," Casey grunted. Raph felt a wave of relief hit him. Fawn slipped into the room clutching Lenora,whose eys were huge with fear.
Fawn sat her down and looked at Raph and Mike.
"Now what," she breathed.
"Daddy!" Lenora whimpered. She was looking out the window.
"Daddy!" she said louder. Mike grabbed her and clamped a hand around her mouth. No one came their way and they all breathed out a breath they didn't know they were holding. Raph gave the boys a firm look and put his finger to his lips. He crept over to the window and looked out. He growled when he saw his brother calapse.
"Mikey...Fawn stay quiet...he's hurt...I'm going to go try and get him...then we'll get the kids out...got it?" Raph whispered. They nodded.
"We'll get outside...if we can we'll head for the battleshell otherwise we'll make a break for the woods," Mike said quickly. Raph slowly opened the window and got out.
"What about April and Casey?" Fawn hissed.
"I'll come back for 'em," Raph snapped softly.
Raph dropped tothe ground and rushed forward, staying low. He got to Leo and knelt, checking for a pulse. Nothing.
"Shell," Raph cursed softly. He rolled Leo over and quickly started CPR.
"Breathe...Come on Leo...think about Rose and the kids...come on wake up," Raph pleaded.
A weak cough made him sigh in relief. He lifted is brother into his arms and made his way back. Mike, Fawn and the kids were out.
"Is he?" Mike asked softly.
"He's hurt bad, can you carry him Mike?" Raph interupted softly. Mike eyed the limp figure and nodded.
"Yeah..I got 'im. Fawn? Kids you have to listen to Aunt Fawn ok? your Daddy's not feeling very good ok?" Mike said softly.
The kids nodded staring at their father, they were trembling.
Raph slipped back inside and made his way toward the living room.

Don came to a sudden halt at the sight of the trucks and vans outside of the cabin. Rose gave a little whimper.
"HISSST," Mike hissed.
Don turned to see Mike standing a few feet away, holding a limp figure.
"Leo,"Rose gasped, rushing forward. She touched him lightly.
"He's barely breathing," she whispered.
"CPR twice," Mike panted. Rose touched him gently and then reached into her belt, pulling out a packet of herbs.
"Rose...dear..we don't have time for this!" begged Fawn. Don rushed forward and embrased her, eyes flicking over her worridly. The triplets clung to her.
"He's been posined...if I can get him to eat this...it counter acts a lot of posins...he might have a chance," Rose snapped softly.
"How?" Don started.
"When we linked...I sensed it," Rose replied.
Don nodded and looked around.
"Where're Raph, Casey and April?" he whispered, worry in his eyes.
"Back at the house...I think Casey got shot...April and him...they were trying to distract those people...Raph went back to try and help...I just hope that idiot dosen't get killed," Mike replied
"Or caught," Rose said softly, forcing a wad of herbs into Leo's mouth and making him chew and swallow. He gagged but got it down.
They nodded.
"Let's go...we have to get to the battle-shell," Mike said firmly, "That's where Raph said to meet up."

Raph leaned around the corner and gritted his teeth. Casey was on the floor, clutching his side. April was standing up on the other side of the room a gun pointed at her.
"Now tell me where the turtles are..." Johnson growled, viciously.
"I-I don't know what your talking about," April sobbed, convincingly.
Raph grinned. She's a good actrist...
Johnson shook his head angrily.
"I'm...sorry...I guess...I'm mistaken," Johnson said after a minute, leaving and salming the door behind him.
April rushed forward in a panic.
"Casey! Oh my God please! Hang on!" she pleaded. Raph quickly joined her.
"I'm fine...it just grazed my side, looks worse than it is...I promise," Casey grunted as April rolled up Casey's shirt and winced.
"He's right it just grazed it," April sighed with relief. Raph quickly appllied pressure to the spot causing Casey to hiss with pain. April found the first aide stuff and quickly bandaged it.
"Come on..the others are waiting for us at the battle-shell," Raph said quickly.
They got outside and headed around. Raph trailing behind making sure no one was following. He flinched as something hit his arm. He turned his head thinking it was only a bug and paled when he saw what it was. A dart sat in his arm, dumping sedative into his system.
"Ah...shell," he growled bitterly. Calapsing as sleep took him, his vision blurred.
A figure walked up to him just as everything went black.
