Fear...

Hours later...

They kept on waiting and waiting but there brother gave no movement other than to breathe. Raph slowly approached his brother and checked on his pulse, a warm smile appeared on his face when he felt his pulse steady. He was becoming better. Then Raph started talking softly to him.

"Hey Leo, it's me Raph. I just want you to wake up, cause we're starting to get worried, you know. Just wake up for awhile then you could sleep again all night. Please?"

Leo mumbled something and slowly opened his eyes and turned his head towards Raph.

"Rapphh?"

"Hey bro, what's up?"Raph said.

"Leo, you woke up!"Donnie said happily"How are you feeling?"

"I feel dizzy"He whispered. Donnie slowly put his hand on Leo's head.

"You are abit warm, that explains why your dizzy. But don't worry it's nothing big."Leo nodded.

"Can I go to sleep now?"

"Yeah but your sure your not hungry?"

"No."

"okay then can you at least drink some water for me please?"Leo nodded. Donnie reached Leo's back with his hands and slowly elevated his body so he could drink. Then gave him the glass of water and drank it.

"You can go to sleep."

They slowly helped him and went fast asleep.

"So how is he?"Raph asked.

"I don't know yet.. I'll ask him what happened in his room. But now he needs to rest."

"So do you. You better go to sleep."

"What about you?"

"I'll stay with him, you go and get Mikey to sleep."

"Okay then call me if anything happened."

Raph sat with his brother watching him. Then he started hearing him mumble something.

"Please... Don't... Hurt... Them..."

Raph frowned and he started waking Leo up.

"Leo, wake up your having a nightmare."Then Leo suddenly snapped awake and sat up.

"NO!"He yelled.

"Leo its okay you were only having a nightmare, chill!"

"Raph?"

"It's okay, it was only a nightmare."

Leo slowly took deep breaths then he laid his head on his hands then started sobbing softly.

"Leo... Why?"Raph slowly turned him until he faced him, then he took him in to a hug.

"I can't...Take it...anymore..."

"What can't you take?"

"I'm weak.. I'm weak every since I became blind. I can't take it anymore. I got attacked twice! And the nightmares are killing me! I just can't Raph."

"What happened in your room earlier?"

"I couldn't sleep, I was thinking about what happened to me in the pool when I was pushed. Then I heard a sound of a click, I sat up quickly. Trying to know if someone else was in the room. I felt someone's presence in the room, I tried to calm my self down, trying to convince myself that nobody is in the room. But still I felt it, I was about to call you from my phone. But suddenly I felt someone gripped my wrist tightly, pulled me and threw me on the floor. Then I heard the sound of something being sprayed. I started coughing and gasping for breathe, I realized that it must have been poisonous gas.. I felt the phone still in my hands, I quickly pressed the dialing button. Then I felt a huge punch was thrown in to my stomach and I felt nothing else."

Raph didn't know what to say.

"I feel lost Raph... I can't protect anyone, I'm suppose to lead you... How can I lead you while I can't lead myself?"

"It's okay Leo maybe you're not able to help yourself but, by time you will, you just need time bro. You have to be patient."

"Wow I never thought that you listen to me when I'm lecturing you."Leo chuckled.

"Well, I found that you're not a bonehead and you might be right about what your saying."Raph smiled and squeeze his brother in to a hug sitting next to him.

"Love you Raph."

"Love you too."

Leo rested his head on Raph shoulder and closed his eyes. While Raph rested his head on his brother's. They both slept and they didn't notice the figure came back to Leo. He held a knife in his hands, and started to approach them. When he reached them he put his finger tips on Leo's neck and cursed in his head when he felt his pulse steady. He was about to stab him but froze when Raph mumbled something and took Leo closer to him as if he felt his presence. That move made it harder for him to attack. Finally he decided to attack him later, when Leo is alone, so he could have some... fun. Then he disappeared in the shadows.
