Chapter Five!
Thank you sooo much for your reviews! Don't worry, there's lots more to come!!! =)
An hour or two after the argument, Donatello quietly crawled out of his bunk bed and crept into his Master's Study. He knew they were not allowed in there when Splinter was not present, but he wanted to check on Leonardo. Donnie's fears and guilt about the attack were grating on his mind, and he grew more and more worried as the days passed. Splinter had continuously kept vigil on his 'oldest' son, and kept a wary eye on Donnie, still trying to find out what had happened to cause this attack.
Donatello slowly approached the door, listening intently. He wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to get caught going inside. Once he was sure that there was no one in the room, he very slowly opened the door. The door creaked ever so slightly, and he stopped. The adult who was in the room down the hall could hear even the smallest noise made by anything. He had to be careful. He waited a minute before continuing his entry into the study.
The room was dark and smelled of jasmine. The cool air made his skin shiver, and his nose tickle. He tried frantically to stifle the sneeze, knowing that it certainly would cause someone to wake up, someone he sure didn't want to catch him now! The sneeze came out as a low squeak. He suddenly heard movement and dove behind Splinter's chair, hoping that he wasn't going to be found.
"Donatello, what's going on?"
Donnie's head shot up as he suddenly recognized the voice. Leonardo was carefully trying to sit up, and looked at his brother, squinting at him. Donnie quickly got out of his hiding place and hugged his brother, being careful of the stitches and bandages on his arms.
"How do ya feel, Leo?" Donnie asked, relieved to see that his brother was awake.
"I hurt all over, I have a headache, and I'm really tired," Leo replied as he rubbed his head. He suddenly felt the stitches on his arms and legs, and looked at his brother with surprise.
"What happened to me? Why am I stitched up and covered in bandages?" Leo asked, looking himself over.
"Don't worry Leo, when Master Splinter wakes up, I'll tell him you're awake. He can tell you what happened. Go back to sleep Leo, I'm glad you're doing better," Donatello replied quickly. Leo nodded and laid back down, yawned once, and was asleep again. Don put a blanket over his brother and stealthily returned to his own bed, grateful that his brother was going to be all right.
Donnie woke up that morning and went to find Splinter, but couldn't locate him. He went over to Raphael and Michaelangelo who were standing at the kitchen table.
"Well, look who woke up," Raph remarked as he went over to the closet, " now you can help us with the chores."
"Where is Master Splinter?" Donnie asked as he was given a mop.
"He went out to find breakfast," Mike said," He should be back so-" He was suddenly bopped in the face with a scrubby sponge.
"Quit your yapping and get to work," Raph said with an evil grin.
"Ye-uck," Mike replied as he picked up the sponge.
"How come no one woke me up?" Donnie asked as he started to clean the floor.
"Sensei said that you needed the rest, so he let you sleep in," Mikey replied, scrubbing the walls of the kitchen. Donnie paused for a moment. He wanted Splinter to know that Leo had woken up, but that would mean that he would have to give away the fact that he had gone into his father's study, when he wasn't supposed to -- thus getting him into even MORE trouble.
Maybe.maybe I'll tell Splinter later, or maybe let him find Leo up himself", Donnie thought," I don't want Leo to tell Master Splinter about the dog attack, cuz then I'd get into trouble for letting the dog hurt him as well as all the lying I did. Donatello continued with his cleaning duties in silence.
About half an hour later, the three young turtles heard scratching at the door of the lair.
"What do you think that is?" Mike asked nervously.
"It's probably just a rat trying to get in the door," Raphael remarked. However, the scratching grew louder, and the little ones grew anxious.
"Um, I don't think it's just a rat, Raph," Donnie said quietly. Suddenly loud barking erupted from behind the door. The scratching turned into banging as the DOG broke down the door and stepped inside.
