I DON'T OWN TMNT!

Enjoy! :D

"Don't stop! You can't stop!" One part of Raphael's mind urged him as he ran, dodging branches and jumping over shrubbery. "It hurts though! It would be so much easier to just fall asleep! Let them capture you!"

Raph shivered at the thought. His brain was fighting for what he should do; just like a shoulder devil and angel, except he couldn't tell which side was the good and which side was the bad.

He felt himself go dizzy and stumble a bit; the voices grew closer and louder by that one small action.

"No more mistakes! One more slip-up like that and you're a goner!"

"Raphael!" Someone screamed.

"What the heck is a Raphael?" Raph growled as his leg threatened to collapse under him. Not only his bad one, but the other one was getting shaky now too.

A tree branch caught his skin and Raphael felt a long burning sensation fill onto his face as blood started to trickle down. "Dang it! Just more blood to lose."

He turned his head slightly to see the many people still following him. "You have to lose them now, or you might as well just give up." 'Give up' was not something Raph felt good doing. It made him mad just thinking about it. Mad that he might as well 'give up' and be weak.

"You're not weak." He reminded himself. "You can't be weak, not after all of what you just went through!" Raph glanced back and his amber eyes widened; they were so close to him, one of them could tackle him and would catch him.

The one turtle in blue looked as if he was about to do just that. Raph growled and turned his head back forward; pushing himself to go faster, further from his pursuers.

An arm grasped Raph's and he tumbled in shock. He was down, he had been caught.

"Raphael! What the heck is wrong with you!?" he asked. His brown eyes gazing into Raph's. Raph glared at him. They purple grabbed his under arms and dragged him into a nearby bush; hiding themselves from by-passers. Raph groaned slightly as his injuries were disturbed.

"What's wrong with me?! You're the one chasing me you bozo!" Raph was taken from his thoughts as the one wearing orange knelt down and hugged him.

"We were so worried! Don't do that to us again." Raph looked at the two standing turtles with a confused, agitated face.

Pounding of feet echoed through the forest as they grew closer to the four.

"Let's get you home" The purple one coaxed

"Yeah, take this bone-head off of me! Take him home, do whatever you want! Just leave me alone!" The orange-clad turtle sighed as he took himself from the hug. He then grabbed for Raph's arm and helped him up.

"We can lose them this way" The blue ordered; pointing in a direction away from the loud noise the gang was making.

Raph turned to go the other way; hoping to lose the gang and the three weird turtles.

"No, Raph, this way." The orange-banded laughed, tugging on his arm.

Raph rolled his eyes. "No, ya see, I'm grateful for ya guys helping me lose the crazy people and all, but I can't go with ya" He turned to leave but a hand gripped his shell; spinning him back around. Raph held in the hiss of pain that threatened to escape him.

"What do you mean you're not coming us?" The blue banded turtle asked; he seemed to be the one in control, the one who gave orders. Orders Raph wasn't about to follow.

"I'm not going with anybody! Ok! Now leave me alone!" Raph started running again; his leg moaned in the process but he had to ignore it. "They may have helped you, but now they want you to go with them, they want to take you; to capture you."

Raph was slow because of his injures. He wasn't fast enough as the blue masked turtle tackled him and pinned him to the ground. Raph couldn't help the scream that ripped out of his throat as his body slammed to the ground.

"Leo!" The purple one said; he was panicked and was next to Raph in a second; checking his injuries. He brushed the one on Raphael's head with his finger slightly.

Raph's breathing was quick; he was trying to calm it down, but that was pretty difficult as one turtle sat on him, another examined his injuries, and the third looked as if he wanted to scream and possible cry.

"I'm sorry ok! Whatever I did, I'm so sorry! Just let me go!" Raph squirmed as he tried to get away from the tight grasp the oldest one had on him.

He and Purple shared a scared look before both turning their gazes back to him.

"Raph," Purple said cautiously.

"Stop saying that! It doesn't make any sense!" Raph didn't speak though; he just glared at the talking figure.

"Can you tell me what my name is?" Raph glare softened; he wasn't expecting a question like that.

He turned his head and wouldn't meet the gazes of any of the turtles. He glared at a nearby rock.

"How am I suppose'd to know that?!" he snapped "As if I've ever met any of you before."

"HEY BOSS! I FOUND 'EM!" A voice echoed. It snapped the three surprised turtles out of their trace to look up at the purple dragon gang member.

"Ok, we're going home!" Leo yelled.

Raph growled in protest, and was about to argue.

"Talk later, run now!" He ordered.

Raph would have run if he could; but he couldn't.

Because everything became black.
