They weren't coming...they couldn't find him...
Electricity shot through him-contorted his body-his eyes rolled up in his head-he strangled on his own throat-
They weren't coming... Couldn't find him...
Laughter -you would think Shredder would grow tired of this spectical-
Leonardo's arms twisted-he had no control over them-
wire cables-water-pain-
Not coming...
Darkness-white light -darkness again-
Find...find him...
His body hung limp from the chains...sweat ran down his face...
The world flickered ...and went out...
Somewhere ...across the earth...a dove fell to the ground ...it lay in the dust...fluttering...its eyes still looked alive ...even after it was dead...
A monkey climbed across the vines looping over the river...its deft fingers finding holds where no other animal could...he cocked his head...staring down at the crocodiles lazily drifting past ...if he fell in they would snap ...a water death...a dark end...he had seen others end like that...with the confidence of a fool he swung directly over the predators ,chattering away in his nonsensical language that only he knew,before leaping the rest of the way across...the crocodiles ignored him...they could afford to wait...they would get him in the end...
He was in a field... Dry,yellow grass covered the ground...rocks jutted up here and there,covered with dead moss ...the sky was clean and clear and blue and a cool breeze ran over the ancient earth...just as it since the beginning...
He liked it here...a million miles from anyone or anything...just himself and God ...alone to feel and to breath...
Leo closed his eyes...and felt the ground stretching out under his feet...it went on forever...
Here there was no pain...here it was good...
"Your giving up ..."
The voice invaded his thoughts ...slowly he turned towards it ...
Raphael stood watching him...
Leo drank in the sight of his brother...his dreams were getting longer...secretly he hoped one day he would just stop waking up so that he could stay here...
When he spoke it was with his old voice...
"Your not coming...I am not going to be rescued...why should I keep fighting? Raph,the others think I'm dead...I don't even know how long I've been here ...Splinter and the others stopped coming...I don't see them anymore...your the only one left who still thinks I'm alive...but your wrong...I'm dead...I've been dead for a long time now..."
Raph came towards him...he stopped a few feet away and stood there with his arms crossed in front of his chest...
For some reason in these dreams ,his brother never reached out to touch him...
"You ain't dead bro,but you will be if you keep this shit up!this ain't the fearless leader I know...the Leo I know wouldn't give up so easily..."
"Then you never knew me..." Leo said quietly ...
The world suddenly shattered ,breaking apart like a snow globe ...Leo opened his eyes...he was back in that room...
And that's when he saw the pebbles on the floor spinning like tops a few inches off the ground...
