TURTLE NOT MINE!!!! THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!!!! Darktiger hurry up with your stories, your killing me!!!! ENJOY!!

The first 4 weeks were really hard on Leo. He depended on his family for everything. They had to feed him, bath him, and he had to do all the acts of nature with them there. One day he got so fed up with the whole thing that he yelled at Mikey. "I'm sick and tired of all this just leave me alone I don't want you to help me any more. GO AWAY!!"

"Leo, you need my help you can't do this without me. You're doing well your almost healed. Leo.." said Mikey.

"Leave me alone Mikey, just go away, I am tired of being treated like a baby. If I can't do this myself then I shouldn't be alive." Said Leo as he pushed himself away from Mikey and tried to stand on his own, his legs wouldn't support him and he started to fall forward, but Mikey caught him. "GOD, I hate this I hate this..." Leo started to cry and didn't stop for 10 minuets Mikey just stood by him with his arms around his brother hugging him telling him it will get better.

"Your gonna get better Leo. You just have to give it time. You're almost better now. Please let me help you." Said Mikey concerned.

"God, Mikey I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I just can't stand being this helpless. I hate the fact that I can't be anywhere by myself except when I am sleeping. I just, I hate this." Said Leo

"It's gonna be fine dude. And don't worry this is between me and you the others don't need to know." Said Mikey.

"Thanks bro, how about some help eating." Said Leo.

"Cool." Said Mikey

After that day, Leo tried to look on the bright side, he was alive, but that didn't help. The 3 weeks that followed had Raph constantly by him making him do his therapy and making sure he wasn't going to quit. There were days where he just wanted to give up and say screw it. Raph wouldn't let him, no matter how much Leo wined or yelled Raph just pushed him all the more harder.

The casts were off by the 7th week, and he was at least able to feed and do the normal stuff he used to, except train (but that didn't stop Leo from hounding his brothers to do so). His legs couldn't support him for long and his arms couldn't hold his weapons for more then a few minuets. During the day Raph, and Mikey would hound him to keep it up and not quit, and Donnie was busy trying to figure out what could have done this to Leo, but without a real description it was hard. The foot was keeping low, and with Leo killing the Shredder the gangs ruled the street. At night Mikey, and Raph would patrol and take out different gangs, while Leo tried to do more therapy and work on some katas, and Donnie was constantly on-line trying to find out anything that would help them figure out who almost killed Leo.

One night when Leo was alone he dreamt of that night. He just finished his argument with Raph and was talking to Donnie. He then told Donnie good night and went to the couch. He fell asleep fast and then he felt something... EVIL.

It came at Leo the claws cut him even before he could think. His mind was in a fog. Leo couldn't move and the creature took its time breaking one arm then the other. The pain was excruciating. It enjoyed it. It then broke on leg and laughed at the scream of pain that Leo made. Then when it was finally done with laughing and breaking Leo's bones, it laughed, and laughed and laughed some more until Leo blacked out.

Leo screamed and tried to sit up in his bed, but even with the casts off, his arms and legs were still in constant pain.

"LEO!" Raph said rushing into this room weapons drawn, Donnie and Mikey not far behind. "Leo you ok. What happened?"

"It was nothing Raphael. Just a dream, nothing more." Said Leo as he tried to control his breathing. "Guys go back to bed. I'm sorry for waking you up. I never felt it like that before. All my other dreams it just laughed and there was pain, but this one was different."

"Mikey, Donnie go to bed. I want to talk to Leo." Said Raph.

"Leo, you sure you're ok? No pain?" asked Donnie,

"No more pain then usual Donnie, but I'll live thanks. Go get some sleep. And Raph I don't want to talk about it, I just want to rest." Said Leo

"Sorry, this might help with us figuring out who did this." Said Raph as he sat down on the edge of Leo's bed while Mikey and Donnie filed out to go back to sleep.

"So?" asked Raph.

"I hate feeling like this Raphael. This fear. I am not used to it. God, Raph it was awful. I felt everything the creature did. I felt every bone brake I felt the cut to my chest, and it liked it. It liked feeling my pain and my fear. God, I know this is going to sound crazy, but I believe I know who it was that attacked me." Said Leo.

"Well who was it?" Said Raph.

"Shredder." Said Leo.

"What? That's impossible. Leo you killed him. It couldn't be him." Said Raph (this is before we discover Shredder's an Utrom, just go with it).

"I know, God I hope I'm wrong, but I remember his laugh his eyes, the claw. It was him. I don't know how or why now, but it was him." Said Leo. "I think he also knows I survived, and he is not happy about, and if he can just come in anytime he wants and do this to me what's to stop him from doing it again and to you guys. Raph I don't know how he did it or were he is or anything and it is him..."

"Leo, how? I mean there's no way you KILLED him. We all saw it. Maybe you should get some sleep and try to figure it out again. Leo really how do think he did it? We didn't hear anything." Said Raph confused.

"I don't know how he did it Raph. But he did, and we have to find him fast. Because if we don't I'm afraid that it could be anyone of you next." Said Leo as he looked at his brother with fear and determination in his eyes.

"Well we can't do anything tonight. Tomorrow's another day, Leo. Maybe things will look different then." Said Raph as he got up to leave.

"Raphael, it won't change tomorrow. It will still be him we are after." Said Leo.

"Get some sleep, bro. We'll talk it over with everyone tomorrow." Said Raph and he left to go to his room.

Leo just lay in bed thinking about the dream. Could it truly have been the Shredder, the EVIL he felt from it the eyes and claw. It had to be him, but how. Maybe what they say is true, EVIL NEVER DIES!!!
