DISCLAIMER: do not own the turtles, only the story plot line.
WARNING: maybe a bit out-of-character for the turtles, but once again, this is how I imagine them to be. Also, there may be some blood, torture, angst, etc...but hey, it's my story!
WARNING #2: THIS WILL BE A VERY BLOODY/GORY/SAD CHAPTER. IF ANY OF THAT YOU DON'T LIKE, PLEASE DON'T READ. There. I warned you. Now if you do read it, don't write any flames, 'cause it was your choice to do so. Oh, and I love Leo, he's my favorite character. But I have a horrid habit of putting too much of my soul into the character and then boom! You have a bloody/gory/angsty story. Anyways, I think that's it. Yeah.
ITALICS ARE DREAM-SEQUENCES OR MEMORIES.
Authoress suddenly takes pity on the poor reviewers (aka readers). She has graciously decided to update today for no reason whatsoever.
And also, the authoress would like to point out that she has another story that she is writing, but it is rated R. So the authoress would like people to read it, but since it is rated R, she requires you to be mature and know what that means. The authoress thanks you.
And now the authoress would like to continue this story and get rid of this annoying third person reference to herself.

Fang darted out of the woods, only to find the house on fire and noone there. She took a hesitant step forward before sitting down and letting out a short howl. Then she looked around and listened hard, but there was no noise apart from the wood collapsing. She howled again before dropping her head and whimpering.
There was a snapping noise behind her, and Fang turned her head. But it was only Bruck, who was followed closely by the turtles, rat, and two more humans. Fang whimpered before dropping her head again.
Bruck stared at the home burning. "No..." He whispered, going pale.
Raph shoved his way passed him and ran to the house, yelling "LEO!!!!!!" Don and Mikey ran after him, searching around the collapsed house for any sign of Leo.
April began to cry. Casey tried to comfort her the best he could, while Splinter surveyed the scene and going to help his sons search the house.
Fang whimpered before lying down onto the snow. She sniffed before her ears twitched. She sniffed again. She raised her head up before jumping up, letting out an excited yelp.
Bruck and the others looked at her. Fang wagged her tail and yelped happily, sniffing around before finally catching the scent. She then began to dart towards the woods before stopping and sniffing at something.
Raph raised an eyebrow. "Either that dog's found something, or it's gone crazy."
Bruck let his fists clench. "Fang's not crazy." He snapped, before walking over to Fang. "Whatchya find girl?" He asked, before kneeling down.
Splinter walked up behind him. Bruck looked up. "There are two sets of footprints going off into the woods." He said quickly. "And another going off somewhere else." He paused. "One of the footprints that's going off to the woods, is Leo's. The other is Jamie."
Splinter nodded. He looked at the others. "We must find him quickly." He said, before looking at Casey and April.
Casey caught his look. "Oooh nooo." He said, shaking his head firmly. "Me and April ain't goin' nowhere else. No."
Splinter sighed, looking defeated. "Fine, Mr. Jones. Ms. O'Niel?"
April looked at Splinter firmly. "I'm coming too!"
Splinter nodded. "Then we must go..."
At that point, Mikey interrupted. "Hey Don? What's this needle like thing on the ground?"
Don looked over before gasping. "Don't touch that Mikey!!!!" He yelled at Mikey, who was just about to pick it up.
Mikey jumped up before looking confused. "Why? Is it gonna bite?" He joked, but no one laughed.
Bruck stepped closer to examine it. Don frowned. "It's what I think it is, isn't it?"
Bruck frowned. "If you're thinking of tranquilizer, then yep."
Raph blinked. "Whoa there! So you're tellin' me that there's tranquilizers?"
Don nodded before looking relieved. "That's good."
Mikey looked at Don as if he was crazy. "Good? I thought tranquilizer's were bad!!!! Are you feelin' okay, bro?"
Don sighed. "Yes I'm fine, Mikey!" He snapped. "And no, it's not good, but would you rather have bullets and Leo dodging them with 100 percent chance that he could die, than him dodging tranquilizer darts and having 100 percent chance that he'll live??!!"
Mikey grinned sheepishly. "Oh."
Bruck stood swiftly. "We're wastin' time. Looks like Jamie's got the upper 'and. That goddamn bastard." He whispered the last part, but everyone heard it. Bruck looked at them. "We'd better move fast. This dart's empty."
&&&&&&
'Damn, damn, damn.' Leo silently cursed, as he leaned onto a tree and clutched his head. He knew that a dart had got him, and the small scratch had some tranquilizer in it as well.
The good thing was that the tranquilizer numbed the pain in his leg. The bad? It numbed everything else. All his senses and everything. He could feel his brain starting to shut down. Leo shook his head, before slumping onto the tree again. This was not good...
Suddenly he heard footsteps. Dazedly, Leo looked up before straining to see past his blurring vision. 'That tranquilizer is stronger than the rest...' Leo tiredly thought, as he heard the footsteps near.
Than, just as the footsteps were upon him, he recognized them. Jamie.
Leo silently swore, before stumbling away into the thicket again.
But his vision was getting worse and worse and he sometimes bumped into trees or tripped over roots, but at least the footsteps were far away now.
But suddenly, Leo felt pain in his left shoulder. He sluggishly reached back and yanked the dart from his arm. 'Damn.' He thought, before his feet suddenly gave away under him.
He fell onto his knees before realizing what happened. 'No.' He thought as he tried to get up again, but he realized that his legs weren't responding.
Leo shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts as they jumbled together.
Suddenly, he heard a click of a gun in front of him. Before he could even look up, Leo felt pain in his neck.
Leo gasped, before looking up and seeing the blurred figure. As his vision slowly darkened, Leo realized that the figure was Jamie...and he was laughing...
