Poor Leo.. Enjoy xx

A Forest full of horrors

Chapter 10

Leo watched as his brothers followed him fearfully, he feared for them and himself. He was filled with hopelessness at the lack of control he had over himself, what made it worse was the huge headache he had!

Both his mind and the entity's who had taken over were fighting for dominance causing Leo's head to feel like there was too little room.

''Leo.. you've gotta try to fight it'' Don mumbled, ''Don't let it control you''

'There's nothing I can do' leo thought but his brothers couldn't read his mind. 'I wish I could stop this guys.. I really do'

The three younger turtles grabbed at leo's arms and tried to pull him back but he was too strong, leo could feel their hands on him and he knew he had to fight back.

The stairs felt like they went on forever, everyone felt so helpless.

But Leonardo was never one to give up!

He used his years of teachings to try and fight for his body and mind, he just needed to concentrate.

He focused on the black mist in his mind, he focused on the thought of it evaporating and disappearing.

The dark mist began to get heavier causing Leo to panic a little before forcing himself to concentrate. The mist evened out before evaporating away completely.

Leo was free.

He opened his eyes without even realising they had been closed and looked over at his brothers.

''Leo?'' Mikey questioned hopefully, Leo smiled and turned to face them.

''yeah'' Leo looked over each brother, ''I'm back''

''Good'' Raph grinned, ''We were gettin' worried''

''Are you sure you're ok?'' Donnie asked worriedly.

''I'm fine Don'' Leo chuckled softly, ''Don't worry.. We should probably get to the next floor''

''Isn't that where you were headed?'' Raph asked in surprise, ''When you were in tha' trance thing?''

''I think I was gonna go higher than that'' Leo frowned, ''But we've got to go up anyway.''

''Lets hurry then'' Don smiled.

The four brothers ran up the last few steps before stepping out into the hall, they walked back past the stairs to go deeper into the hall. There was only one door at the side and there was a bad energy coming from it.

''We goin' in there?'' Raph asked roughly,

''Yup'' Leo nodded with a gulp.

''I was afraid you'd say that'' Don groaned.

''Let's get in there'' Raph put a hand on the door handle, ''The faster we do this the faster we get outta this house''

''Wait..'' Mikey frowned causing the brothers to freeze. ''Do you dudes know what time it is?''

''Really?'' Raph growled, ''You're really asking for tha time now!?''

''Just answer the question'' Mikey snapped. Don pulled out his shell cell and frowned.

''I don't know Mike.. My cell isn't working'' Donnie's frown deepened as he looked over at his brothers.

''I didn't bring mine'' Leo shrugged, Mikey just blushed.

''Mine ain't workin' either'' Raph chucked his cell to Donnie. ''Fix it''

''I can't fix it Raph'' Don snapped, ''At least not until we go home''

''But..'' Mikey began to pout, ''We won't know what time it is''

''Why do we need to know the time?'' Leo asked in concern, Mikey stared at them for a moment.

''We won't know when it's chow time'' he muttered as yet another blush crossed his cheeks.

''Do you see any food around us?'' Raph asked angrily, ''Do you have food with you?''

''No but-'' Mike shrunk back a little.

''Well then.. WHY ASK A STUPID QUESTION THEN!?'' Raph yelled furiously, ''EVEN IF WE DID KNOW THE TIME WE STILL WOULDN'T BE ABLE TA EAT ANYTHIN'!''

''But...'' Mikey bowed his head, ''We need to eat.. and sleep''

''He's not wrong'' Don nodded, ''It would be useful to know the time''

''Can we please stop this pointless conversation?'' Leo groaned in frustration, ''We need to move''

The younger turtles just nodded awkwardly and followed their leader into the suspicious tunnel beyond.

That'll do for this one! Just a little brotherly conversation! Please Review xx
