chapter 8: Raph's explaination and Donnie's plan
Raph had to talk with Donnie, tonight. This nightmare had finally shown him the errors of his terrible ways. He also knew that if they were going to help Leo, they would need to work together. He obviously knew that he would need to earn his brother's trust again. He did not know how he would explain his change of heart to Donnie. He only hoped that Donnie would listen and not go completely apeshit on him. Donnie was indeed quick to anger, and Raph new that he was beyond angry, and that he would kick his arse into next week.
I only hope he will listen. I deserve to get the hell beaten out of me...
"Hey Donnie, can I come in?"
"Why should I let a complete slave driver who would humiliate his slave to the point of tears just for his amusement come in my room?"
"Because Donnie, I'm your brother. And besides I need to talk with you. It's about Leo. Donnie...I'm sorry. I got so caught up in my lust for complete control of Leo, that I did not care if I truly hurt him or not. I do not deserve any mercy from Leo, and I don't deserve mercy from you. You were right. You asked me how I would feel if the curse had been placed on me and if I was the one being controlled like a complete puppet against my will? Well...I would feel terrible. I never thought that i would ever do such a thing to my own brother. If any of you had that kind power over me, I would feel like none of cared. If i was being treated like a slave just for someone's amusement, I would have tried to fight back, for i would never want to be at the mercy of someone's control. Leo deserved better than the treatment I gave him. He was in pain, and what did I do? I used him to the point of exhaustion, humiliated him, forced him to act like nothing more than a mere puppet to me, and used him as furniture at one point. I know I can never take back what i did, but if there is anyway that we can contact this ghost, I will gladly take Leo's curse in his place. You all deserved the right to treat me as nothing more than a slave. It is the only punishment that i deserve. I deserve no better punishment than that. Please Donnie, believe me. I am sorry."
"Your actually serious. Oh my god, Raph."
Donnie opened the door and allowed Raph in. He could clearly see the look of saddness in his eyes. raph was actually serious. He only hoped that Leo would feel the same way he did about Raph's change of heart. He knew that they both needed to contact the ghost. But how they would do that was the problem. Leo was the only one who knew all the details about this ghost. They would have to get the information out of him somehow.
"Raph, I am truly glad you have seen the error of your ways, But how are we gonna help Leo? We have to contact that ghost somehow."
"Donnie, Leo can't know of my sudden change of heart just yet. I am sure you realize that."
"I know. I have a plan, but your not gonna like it. How well are you with acting?"
"Pretty good. Why? What are you planning Donnie?"
"My plan is that you should continue treating Leo like a slave for the time being. Do not let him see that you have changed. If we are going to save Leo, we have to do it without his knowledge for the time being. If you say you are as good with acting as you say you are, we should not have any problems. I know that this plan will be really hard for you, but you have to act as if nothing has changed. For all leo knows, you are still the slave driving brother he sees you as, and you must keep up appearances."
"You are right, Donnie. But what if I slip up and show my true feelings?"
"You won't, Raph. I know you can pull it off. I have faith in you. Trust me, this plan will work until I can find some way to contact this ghost."
"Alright Donnie. I will do what I have to do to save leo."
"Good. Now we beter get some sleep. We have a rough day ahead of us tomorrow. Good night Raph."
"Good night, Donnie."
Hold on Leo. You will be free from this horrible curse soon. I promise.
