Chapter 11

Bre was maybe a quarter way down the tunnels when she heard the explosion. She whipped around, immediately knowing it had come from the Lair and broke into a run, her pre planned work and date dress flowing behind her. The running would ruin her hair, the sweat from the humid tunnels would destroy her makeup. She'd be late for work, but she didn't care. She knew her family was in danger.

Bre bolted through the front door, heading straight for the lab. The lab looked like a war zone. The filing cabinets were knocked over, tables and desks were overturned, paper was everywhere, and the entire room was singed and crispy, the walls black from burns and soot. She rushed to Mikey and Master Splinter's sides, who were busy dragging two unconscious turtles and a young Hispanic woman from the disaster.

"Oh my God! What happened?" Bre shouted, falling on her knees to cradle Eleana in her arms, who's body lay beside Raph's.

"There was a fight," Mikey said uneasily, crossing the room to Donnie. "Donnie said some harsh stuff to Eleana and she went off on him, and then…and then…Donnie…"

"Donatello peaked his mating season, Miss Collin." Splinter interrupted as he knelt beside Raph, laying a withered hand on his son's jaw. "I apologize for not informing you or Miss Sanchez sooner, but Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael are all victim to their mating seasons at this current time."

"So that's why tempers have been flying high around here lately." Bre said quietly.

"Donnie tried to rape Eleana," Mikey cut in, sounding like he was trying not to break down.

Bre's eyes widened in shock. "WHAT?"

"Do not be mistaken Michelangelo," Splinter corrected. "What almost occurred was not your brother's will, but his animal instincts and the beast inside him. We all know Donatello would never intentionally bring harm to anyone. It is not excuse for what may have happened, but we know that it was never because Donatello wished it be so."

"What happened after that?" Bre asked. "I heard an explosion and came back, and it sure looks like a bomb went off in here." She looked down at Eleana, who's skin and clothes were the only things free from black burn marks in the room.

"Miss Sanchez's condition is slowly becoming worse," Splinter explained. "I believe the stress from the struggle between Donatello and Eleana, and witnessing Raphael and Donatello attacking eachother pushed her condition past her limits. Eleana's body bore fire, and the one trying to possess her spoke from her body. What I find curious is that Raphael was the only one who was not burned by her flame, where as Donatello and Michelangelo could not touch her."

"Maybe we have a way in then, something we can use to help her fight this." Bre said.

"I believe so. Raphael was able to assist Eleana enough that she managed to snuff her flame, but only in the result of this small explosion." Splinter said, motioning to the ring of black soot on the ground around Raph and Eleana.

Suddenly, Eleana's eyes burst open and she bolted upright, gasping and coughing and frantically looking around bewildered. Bre pulled her friend into her arms to calm her.

"Shhhh it's okay Eleana. I know what happened. Everyone's okay."

Eleana's eyes fell on Raph, who's green skin was covered in soot and raw burns.

"Raph!" She cried and pulled him into her arms, shaking as she looked over his wounds. "Porfavor dios please be okay! I'm so sorry look what I did to you!"

Raph slowly woke, teeth clenched as the pain from his burns got to him. "Hush babe I'm alright, just a little tender."

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault, I hurt you!" Eleana cried, tears welling up in her eyes. Raph sat u[ on his own and pulled her into his arms.

"Shhh no honey this isn't your fault. It's okay everything's okay. We're gonna get through this."

"Indeed we will," Master Splinter said quietly.

"Hey…hey guys!" Mikey said uneasily from the other side of the room. Donnie was sitting up, disoriented and also covered in burns.

Raph held Eleana tightly, muscles tensing. "Get him out of here. Master Splinter get him out of here before I snap. Get him out!" Raph demanded, trying not to shout to keep Eleana from getting more upset.

"Michelangelo, take your brother to the surface and find Leonardo. Raphael will join you shortly. You will patrol the city tonight to relieve stress from tonight's events. Now go." Splinter ordered. Mikey helped Don stand up and led him to the door, as they passed, Donnie stared at Eleana, who looked back and watched him walk out the door. He could see fear and concern in her eyes, and in his, she could see care and worry…and much regret.

When they were gone, everyone got to their feet and walked slowly from the lab.

"Once Donatello returns to normal I will have him care for everyone medically, but until then he will do no one any good. Raphael, join your brothers." Splinter said.

"No I have to stay with Eleana," he protested quickly.

"No, go with them." Eleana responded, giving him a tight hug. "You all need each other right now and there's a lot of problems to be fixed. I'll be alright with Splinter I promise. I feel fine, just upset over everything that happened. I need to help Bre get ready anyway, her hair and makeup is a mess."

"I can cancel everything and stay here if you need me!" Bre cut in. "I don't need to go out tonight I can stay home!"

"No, you can't, you're going. I need something to do with my hands to calm me down and your hair needs attention." Eleana smiled, which put Raph at ease knowing she was going to be alright for the night. She looked up at Raph at kissed his lips tenderly. "Go, I'll be okay. Just fix things with your brothers."

Raph gave a nod and kissed Eleana's forehead before breaking into a jog, heading topside. Eleana and Bre headed upstairs to work on Bre's image for her date, and Splinter hobbled to the dojo. He had much meditation to do.

The voice that had spoke from Eleana was haunting him.
