I Don't Wanna be Alone
Little Michelangelo was walking through the quiet dark lair, silence surrounded him and not even the drip drip of the sewer pipes could be heard.
''Hello?'' Mikey called, his scared little voice echoed around him. ''Daddy? Bros?''
There was no reply.
Little Mikey ventured to his father's room to see the bed empty and neatly made, Mikey whimpered and gently shut the door.
His Father very rarely left his brothers and him alone in the lair but he never left them at night!
Where was he?
''Leo!'' Mikey yelled as he ran to his eldest brother's room only to find it the same as his fathers.
Little Mikey began to tremble, Leo's missing now too!
He rushed over to Raphael's room, this room was messy but empty.
''Raphie!?'' Mikey yelped. ''Where are you guys?''
Raphael would never just leave his little brother. Never.
''DONNIE! DONNIE!'' Mikey screamed as he ran to his genius brother's room, he'd know what was going on! There was no way Donnie would leave his room in the middle of the night. No way!
He burst through the door.
''DONNIE! EVERYONE'S GONE!'' He yelled before realising his immediate older brother was missing too. ''No… Donnie?''
Mikey rushed over to the play room, that was empty too.
He ran around the whole lair in search of his family but no matter where he went there was no sign of them anywhere.
Little Mikey sat on the floor as sadness and loneliness consumed him. Everyone was gone. He was all alone.
He let out a wail and sobbed into his arms.
Mikey yelped as he jolted awake, that nightmare had been scary!
He listened carefully to the normal sewer noises around him and smiled a little, this felt a little better.
He slipped out of his bed and grabbed his blanket, he shuffled out of his room and looked around.
''Hello?'' He asked quietly, he frowned when he realised he couldn't hear Raphael's normal snores. He rushed over to said brother's room only to find it empty.
Just like the dream.
Little Mikey began to cry as he realised his nightmare had come true.
''Mikey?'' Mikey jumped and spun to look at the doorway. Raphael stood there looking tired and slightly concerned. ''What's wrong?''
''Raphie!'' Mikey cried as he ran to give his brother a hug. ''You were gone!''
''I was just getting a drink bro'' Raph frowned. ''Why're you crying?''
''I had a bad dream where everyone was gone and when I woke up I couldn't find you!'' Mikey explained through his tears. Raphael sighed and took his brothers hand. ''I don't wanna be alone Raphie!''
Raphael lead his brother out of his room and took his to Leo's room, together they peaked in to find Leonardo fast asleep.
Mikey smiled before shuffling nervously.
''What if Donnie's gone?'' He asked as Raph lead him over to said turtle's room.
''Then we wake everyone up and go searching for him'' Raph answered quietly, they peaked into Donnie's room to see he too was fast asleep but his blanket had fallen to the floor.
Mikey covered his mouth to stifle his giggle as Raphael laid the blanket back over his little brother.
Together they left to go check on Splinter.
The result was the same only Raphael was surprised his father hadn't woken up.
''See Mikey'' Raph smiled as they arrived back in his room. ''Everyone's here. You're not alone! You can go back to bed now''
Raphael climbed into his bed but frowned when Mikey didn't leave.
''Can I sleep in here tonight?'' Mikey asked shyly. ''I'm still scared''
Raph sighed but lifted the covers so Mikey could slide in next to him.
Together they drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Next one will be up shortly!
