Chapter 7

They finally made it to District 12. The people of the District was waiting for them and the sight that greeted them was out of place. Creatures in white suits were lining up the way. The peace keepers were holding back the crowd.

"What's going on?" Donatello asked Casey. Leonardo tried to see if Splinter and Mikey, even Raph but he couldn't see.

"Why are there so many peace keepers?" Leonardo asked out loud.

Casey and April looked at each other and didn't even answer. They came to a stop and got off. They waved at everyone and were shoved into a car. They were driven to the Victors Village. The turtles were ahead of them and Leonardo saw the turtles enter their own separate houses, except one of the Leo's. He knew he wanted to talk.

Leonardo let out a sigh and walked slowly so he could wait for the 03Leo to get to his house. He opened the door, when 03Leo got up the stairs. He walked up to his room. Splinter must be at the Hub and took Mikey with him.

"We may have a few minutes until they come back. What's wrong?" He asked.

03Leo sat down on Leonardo's bed. He just stared at the floor. "I saw a news broadcast. District 8 is at and uprising. Your face was everywhere." Leonardo didn't know how much of an impact he made. Is this what Dregg talked about during his visit? He definitely made a bad impression on Dregg.

"Are you sure about this?" Leonardo whispered. He heard his front door open. He stared at his other counterpart and slowly turned and walked down the stairs. He saw Splinter and Mikey putting down groceries.

"Hello, my son," Splinter embraced him. He was still getting used to that.

Mikey ran toward the pair and embraced his older brother. "Hi, Mikey." Leonardo bent down to embrace him better.

"Hey, why weren't you guys at the station?"

"We wanted to stop there but the crowd was tough to get through so I took your brother to get some groceries." Splinter was putting the bread in the bread box.

"What about Raph?" Splinter turned and looked at Mikey before looking back at him.

"Raphael joined the miners." Leonardo felt his heart stop. The same mines that killed his father and Raph's.

"Are you serious?" Leonardo gasped. Splinter nodded.

"If you hurry the miners are being let out you can probably catch up to him." Leonardo gave his brother and father a quick squeeze and ran out the door, making sure the 03Leo got out too.

"See you later," 03Leo yelled as he saw his other self-run towards the mines.

Leonardo ran through the Hub, passing familiar places and faces. Each giving him a wave as he passed. The mines were at the very far end of District 12. After the explosion, it was put there so the houses weren't affected. As he got closer he could hear the whistle that meant the miners were finishing their shifts. He remembered his father coming home, completely covered in dirt and grime. He always had time to hug him and his mother would send both them to wash up for supper.

He stopped at the gate that separated him from the miners. He squinted to see where Raph was. He finally spotted him amongst the miners. He was carrying a lunch pail and looked miserable. He looked up and saw Leonardo at the gate. He pushed past the miners who gave him dirty looks and he didn't care.

He walked around the gate to come face to face with Leonardo. "When did you…"

"We need to talk," Leonardo grabbed ahold of his wrist and walked toward the fence. He stopped to check to see if the fences were on. Nope.

They both climbed through and walked to the forest, not stopping till they were completely sealed by the forest. "We need to run away," Leonardo said.

"Run where?" Raph asked, looking at Leonardo with and incredulous look.

"Into the woods, like we always talked about. If we leave right now we can be far away from this place by nightfall." Leonardo was pacing forming a plan. He needed to make sure his brother and Splinter could make the trip.

Raph grabbed Leonardo by the shoulders. "Who we taking? You, me and your fiancé?"

Leonardo snapped out of it. "It's not just me and Donatello anymore, its everyone." Leonardo hissed at Raph.

"Dregg threatened to have you killed? Anyone else?" Raph asked.

"Both our families." Leonardo simply stated.

"Unless you and Donatello get married, right?" Raph growled, letting Leonardo go, which Leo also noted.

"Nothing now! We can do this. You said so yourself." Leonardo tried to get him to see reason.

"What do you say now?" Raph asked, keeping eye contact with Leonardo. "Do you love me?"

Leonardo looked at him like he was crazy. "What? You know how I feel about you, Raph." Leonardo stepped forward and Raph took a step back.

"After the kiss in the woods, I couldn't stop thinking about it." Raph admitted, looking at the forest floor. "I wondered if it would be different and you would see me as something other than family."

"You think it would be different? You think that Dregg's bluffing? No, he's not! Not with what's going on in the districts." He stopped, knowing that he couldn't tell Raph, not in the way he's thinking.

"What do you mean?" Raph asked.

He tried to shrug it off. "Nothing, its stuff between me and Don-"

"What is happening?" Raph growled.

Leonardo didn't know how his best friend was changing so drastically. "There were people fighting in the streets," Leonardo struggled to think but he knew nothing except what the other Leo told him.

"What? Were people fighting back?" Raph asked now interested in the conversation.

Leonardo nodded. Raph let a smile happen on his face. "It's finally happening. They are rising against the capitol."

"I should've eaten the berries." Leonardo mused to himself but Raph heard him.

"Why? Things would have gone back to normal," Raph pointed out. He sat down on a fallen log, his lunch pail by his feet. "You haven't hurt people, Leo. You given people an opportunity to fight. They just have to be brave. People want to fight."

"We have to go before they kill us," Leonardo said standing in front of Raph.

Raph looked up at him, "They will kill us."

"What about our families? The ones who stay, what happens to them?" Raph stood up and pushed Leo to the ground.

"I'm trying to make you see reason," Raph grabbed his lunch pail and walked away. Not without stopping and saying, "Everyone is looking to you, Leo."

"I don't want anyone to look at me." Leonardo stood up, nursing his elbow.

With that Raph walked away.

Leonardo returned a few minutes later to Donatello to waiting for him. "Hey, you okay?" Donatello noticed that he was fuming.

Leonardo just stood there and took a deep breath. "Let's run away." Donatello was taken aback by the sudden question.

"What are you talking about?" Donatello asked and they both stopped. Leonardo could hear a scream in the distance. Donatello and Leonardo both looked at each other and bolted towards the sounds.

They arrived to the town center. Leonardo could see a crowd surrounding something in the middle. He heard a snap and a crack.

"What's going on?" He asked Donatello who was taller than him. He saw the blood rush out of Donatello's face.

"We need to get out of here." Donatello tried to turn him away but another crack and a grunt. Leonardo was curious and pushed his way, he could feel Donatello's hand on his arm trying to pull him back.

"Don't-" that didn't stop him from pushing his way through and seeing who was attracting this many people.

In the middle of the town center was Raph, tied to a pole, with a giant warthog with a whip. He saw the whip coming back down and he ran between them and he felt a sting on his cheek, making him cry out in pain.
