The Nightmares

"Aaah" screamed Leo as he wakes up from his nightmare all shaken and sweaty. He said to himself "who is that and why is he calling my name out". He sat up in his bed in deep thought; he didn't even notice Mikey walking into his room to see if he was alright.

Deep in Thought

For the past few nights it's been the same thing. At around the same time every night Leo would wake up screaming and when his brothers came rushing in to see what was the matter he would always that it was nothing. It was actually starting to get annoying. During training he would lose his focus and think about the person screaming out his name for help. Master Splinter noticed this and would have to whack Leo across the head to bring him back to his senses. But that didn't stop Leo from losing focus again and thinking about the mystery person. So Splinter did what he had to do to make Leo know he wasn't going to take this lightly. He called him up to the centre of dojo wanting to spar with him. Leo acknowledged him and stood up moving to his side. Not knowing that he was about to get the living crap kicked out of him.

"Are you ready my son" Splinter asked.

"Yes" Leo replied.

In less than 30 seconds Leonardo was on the ground clenching his sides.

"What was that for?" he wailed.

"That's for dozing off during training. Now pull yourself together" Splinter said with a stern look on his face.

"Yes sensei. It won't happen again" Leo assured

"It better not my son" Splinter said before looking at the other turtles who trying hard to not laugh at Leo getting his butt whooped.

Back in Reality

"Hey Leo you alright?" Mikey asked

"Yeah" Leo replied

"Geez this is like the 3rd time this week you've woken up from that stupid nightmare. When are your going to tell us what's happening so we can help you?"

"Fine you want to know I'll tell you" Leo said blushing because he wasn't too good at expressing his feelings.

"You are good let me hear it" Mikey said as he sat on Leo's bed waiting for his bro to spill the beans.

"There's this person who's been calling my name out. I haven't actually seen his face but he sounds like he's in real trouble. I try to ignore it but the pain he's going through makes me feel so sick inside I try and run but I end up trapped with the screams even louder and then end up in my bed again screaming and seeing you guys there asking me what's wrong.

"Wow Leo that's some story" Mikey said while thinking that his brother is going bonkers.

"Yeah I know" Leo said back

"Well fairytale time is over time to go to morning practice" Mikey said as they headed to the dojo.

"Alright my son's give me another 500 push-ups and you can have breakfast" Splinter said as he watched his sons on the ground. When they were done they did their usual things. Mikey went and played video games. Donny went to work in his lab. Raph got to work on his bike and Leo went to his room and meditated.

While meditating that nightmare came back, but this time it was a vision.

"HELP ME" screamed that familiar voice.

Leo was in shock when he heard how tortured the voice was. He opened his eyes and looked around. When he saw no one he thought that his nightmare was getting to him so he went back to his meditations. Then the voice came back screaming " LEO PLEASE HELP ME". All of the sudden Donny, Raph and Mikey come running into room. Donny saying "Whoa Leo did you hear that?".

"Yeah Donny I did" Leo replied

"Uh Leo?" Donny asked "Is that the voice you keep claiming to hear in your nightmares?".

"Yeah Don it is". Leo said back with a worried look in his eyes.

"So what are we gonna do about this" Raph yelled

"I don't know but unfortunately I may know where this guy is being held" Leo said with now regret lining his face.
