This chapter I got a bad case of writers block. I had an idea of what I wanted to happen but when I tried to write it out it just sort of blah. GO WORDS GO.

Oh ALSO! thanks Crow4711! this chapter was struggling but I after I read your review, it gave me some inspiration! so thanks! you, my friend are great.

Why me? Why am I starting to have these again? My brothers must think I'm such a wimp! I look to my right and see Donnie sitting on the couch with me. He is on the opposite end because I wanted my space, I know that sounds dumb. In fact shouldn't I WANT the comfort of my brothers? I mean I am usually a physical turtle, I love hugs and snuggling, unlike the older three. However I just wanted to stretch out, relieving myself that I am not still trapped in that coffin. Don is still working on the shell cell. He decided that if he wasn't going to sleep, might as well work. Raph was awkwardly slumped on the floor, snoring loudly. He was originally sitting up, but his eyes couldn't take it anymore and he passed out. Leo dosed off a couple hours ago as well. I look at the clock next to the TV, 5 a.m.

Sigh.

I knew they all stayed up with me for my sake, they didn't have to, I already felt guilty enough as it is. I huffed out another sigh and it got Donnie's attention. He glanced at me but continued to focus on the shell cell.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

I should talk to him. Come on Mikester just talk to him! I'll feel better. My tongue feels thick in my mouth and my jaw is clenched. I think about my dream again and shudder. Trapped. It felt so real. I could smell the dirt and earth, even through the coffin. The fragrance was strong, swirling with the little remaining air. Air. Breathing. The oxygen is running out, every breath I take could be my last, then I'd suffocate. Then I Die. I can feel my lungs screaming at me. I am dying.

No.

It was a dream. I could feel myself shivering nonstop now as my vision clears and I'm back sitting on the couch. Donnie noticed this and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and knew he wanted to pull me into a hug, but he doesn't. I usually love Don's hugs, out of all my brothers I normally get hugs from him the most. He's my best friend. But I don't want one right now. I give him a small appreciated smile.

I know all of them are worried about me, even when I was little my night terrors where bad, but this felt..different.

I feel tired, but I refuse to close my eyes.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Leo stir. He gets up and stretches out his stiff limbs. Then looked at his three younger brothers. He smiles a little when he sees the second oldest clumped awkwardly on the floor. Then he raises his gaze to me and his smile slowly fades. He stares into my eyes. We both share blue eyes. However, Leo's eyes are a deeper, darker shade. They are both stern and gentle, a perfect mix of leader and a loving older brother. I could see the small hint of concern in them. I'm sure he notices me shaking slightly.

"Mikey, is the nightmare why you were up the other night as well?" Leo asked. They didn't really ask him any questions after he came out of the dream. They gave him some space.

Yes. I wanted to say yes. What was wrong with me? Why am I trying to hide my dream from my brothers? Pride. I guess it's pride. Or hurt. I already feel as if I'm the idiot of the family, like I am the weak one. Does it honestly make sense for a sixteen year old ninja to have night terrors? a ninja? no way! My pride wins out.

"No, it wasn't. Guys I am okay, really! I'm just slightly shaken up." I give them a wide grin, "I'll be back to my old self in a jiffy! As a matter of fact, If you were a smart turtle Leo, you would watch your shell for the next couple of days." I felt a wicked smile flash on my face. I saw Leo's concern fade slightly and he smiled back. I decided I wanted to get out of my brothers suspicious gazes and stood up.

"Well, I guess I am gonna go start some breakfast! Eggs sound good to you all?" I smiled as they nodded. They looked so tired. Guilt splashed through me. I kept them awake, all because of a stupid nightmare. Then again they didn't HAVE to stay up with me. Geeze. I need to shake this off! I am being a baby. I hate seeing my brothers so worried, I am usually the one who can get them to smile when they are worried or stressed. I spun on my heel and marched to the kitchen.

"This is weird." Donnie said as he glanced up at Leo, "I usually can get Mikey to talk to me about anything! In fact, I can't get him to shut up.

"And why won't he let us near him?" Leo crossed his arms and shifted his weight on his other foot. "He loves it even if our arms are just brushing up against each other."

"I don't know, most likely something to do with dream." Don responded. He sighed and tossed the cell shell on the cushion next to him.

"when we were little and Mike had nightmares, he would always sneak into one of our rooms and snuggle up." Leo and Don both smiled at the memory. Leo was thinking about his brothers face before he left.

"I think he was lying to us when he told us he didn't have another nightmare yesterday," Leo glanced at Don, "But I don't see why he would lie about that."

Donnie thought about that for a second and then shrugged. "Well, he was fine earlier today, Raph and I ganged up on him and it ended up in a wrestling match." Donnie still felt the happy laughter ringing in his ears. It was a good sound. Donnie stood up and started to walk towards the kitchen. The aroma of food was getting to his growling stomach.

"I wonder why he had a night terrors again." Leo said as he fell into step beside Don.

"I don't know Leo, but the fear in his eyes when we tried to calm him down...these are different."
