Part 7 have been a little delayed but I wanted to give people the chance to catch up on what happened, this is going to be a fairly long chapter as im not sure what to include yet or what to give away.
So with that, enjoy!
It had been just under a week since Leo had woken up, still in bed unable to move his brothers were doing everything they could to make him feel loved, appreciated and happy.
Mikey would sit and play board games with Leo so he wouldn't get bored. Donnie would check his vital signs before reading him the newspapers, and letting him talk to Casey and April on the phone.
Raph spent the most time with him, watching films, reading books, talking to him and even just sleeping in the room for company.
Even though they were keeping him happy they all wanted to know who the voice was and why it had driven Leo into such a crazy state of mind.
It was Raph's turn to try and talk to Leo, he seemed to get the most form him before Leo would go into a catatonic state. This seemed to be more of an issue now with Leo, he would stare into space and "see" things. He was always paranoid that someone was going to get him, and that the voices were too strong for him to hold on.
At first Raph was always scared when Leo went catatonic, he didn't know what it was, what to do or how to help. After Donnie checked Leo he sat the brothers down to explain Leonardo's state.
"So your telling me we can't help? And he might try this again?" Raph stood up shaking his head.
"He might be able to hear us so talking could help and well yeah…. Im sorry I know you wanted better news than that…" Don knew that new hit Raph hard.
Thinking back to that moment gave Raph the shivers. Knowing Leo could go catatonic at any moment was terrifying but knowing he could try this again made him even more concerned.
Had he not of seen Leo last time then they would have probably been burying their brother!
"So how you feeling today bro?" Raph calmly asked Leo, easing him into a conversation about these voices. And having to explain his catatonia to him was going to be hard. They hadn't told Leo yet about it as they didn't want him to panic. But Raph offered to tell Leo himself.
"Im feeling better thanks, but just tired." Leo let his head dip down, he managed to sit up for a few hours today but was feeling it now.
"Raph, why do I keep blanking out? I don't remember a lot of things that happen or what people say. Especially when I play with Mikey…" Leo gave Raph a concerning look waiting for an answer.
"Um well remember how I told you about being unwell?" Trying to not scare Leo he smiled.
Nodding Leonardo seemed to understand.
"Well you sometimes have these bad visions. Bad thoughts. So now your body blanks out some things and you just stare into space but you can see things. But you shouldn't listen to them, they're bad. But all in all you have a condition called Catatonia," He tried to smile at Leo not to cause to much concern.
"Oh so you mean I kind of fall asleep for a while? And yeah the vices are strong though, deep and very threatening. I recognise him though."
This was the most he had given away about these voices. Deep, loud, threatening, and a male. Raph looked surprised. It was something to go by but he needed more information.
"Can you tell me who it is Leo? Where did you hear him from?"
"Well he might get mad if I tell you Raph, but I know you know him too. He wanted me to send you a message…" Eyes rolling back into his skull Leos eyes were just white. Scared Raph started to shake Leo, but then he began to speak.
"Your sensei would be so unhappy with you all Raphael, your brother bed ridden, dying, catatonic and seeing people? Leonardo of course knows this voice, as do you. You all do. For I am the enemy you fear, the darkness you hold on to. The vengesce you seek. I am Shredder."
Eyes coming back into place Leo looked as if he had no idea what had happened, but seeing Raph's facial expression gave him enough of an idea it was not good.
"SHIT" Raphael looked at Leo before grabbing him and holding him close. Panic set in as he realised this was not going to be easy to have his brother back, the shredder may have died, but for Leo
HE WAS REBORN.
Chapter 7 was a long one I did warn you but I did reveal who the voice was, and yes for those who asked it was indeed the SHREDDER. Poor Leo will need a lot of help overcoming this oneL
Stay tuned for part 8
