"MIKEY" Leo shouts as he dives into the water. Just moments before he watched his little brother from across the room, just staring into the water. Then, Mikey just jumped in. Leo thought nothing of it until Mikey didn't resurface for a good ten minutes. As turtles, they can hold their breath for a long time, but because of their mutation, they have found out they cannot hold it as long as normal turtles can.
Leo rushes towards the water and jumps in. Why did Mikey jump ? Why wasn't he resurfacing? Was he suicidal? Is he hallucinating?
Leo swims deeper into the water and sees a green body, floating. As Leo nears Mikey, he sees bright blue eyes, staring right at him. Leo hovers in front of his baby brother and just stares back. Mikey blinks once but doesn't seem to recognize Leo, or even acknowledge the fact that he SEES Leo. Leo looked closer and saw panic and fear in those eyes, similar to fire incident. Without hesitation, he reaches out to grab Mikey and pull him to surface.
As soon as Leo touches Mikey, he feels the younger brother tense up. Leo ignores this and pulls him and kicks upward. Mike reacts instantly and rips out of Leo's grip and swims away from him.
Confusion sets on Leo's face as he follows Mikey. Mikey stills yet again and just stares, watching the water move around him. Leo launches at the turtle and grabs onto him firmer, pulling up with all his strength. Mikey kicks out wildly and fights against being pulled, using his own weight to push down deeper. Leo tries again but the same results occur, in the water, they have an equal amount of strength.
Seeing the end results of each time Leo tries to drag him upwards, he now makes way for the top, swimming fast. As soon as his head is above water he shouts out,
"DONNIE! HELP!" Leo then watches as Donnie bursts from the door, looking around for Leo. Raph too appeared from the rooms and jumps down. They both notice Leo as he waves wildly and run towards him.
"What happened?" Donnie says as he runs. He skids to halt and squats down to talk to Leo. Raph stood behind him with worry written all over his face.
"I don't know! Mikey just jumped in, and now I can't pull him up! He keeps fighting me. Guys, he's drowning himself." As he says the last part, Raph dives in the water with Leo and immediately swims into the depths. Leo follows him down and hears a muffled splash behind him. As Leo and Don reach Mikey, Raph is already trying to pull him up. But Mikey fights against Raph like he did with Leo. Raph lets go after it noticiing it wasn't working and looks helplessly at Don.
Donnie looks closer and notices Mikey trying to gasp for air. The orange masked turtle starts thrashing around the water, almost as if he is trying to fight it. Donnie swims over and pulls on Mikeys arm but Mikey pushes back again. Raph is suddenly next to Donnie and pulls with him. Leo swims behind Mikey and pushes up as Raph and Don pull. Mikey kicks out with both his legs and his arms, attempting to keep from going up. The progress is slow because it is hard to keep a strong grip on the turtle, but it is working.
Then, Mikey's thrashing just stopped. This surprises Leo and he stops pushing, looking at what is happening. He glances at his other two brothers and know they notice it too.
Mikey's eyes look different.
The usual light is gone. The happiness, the mischief, the warmth...all gone. The bright blue eyes are dulled and wide. They glaze over as they stare above towards the surface. Donnie opens his mouth and shouts something that is not audible in the water. All that Leo knows, is that Don is freaking out. Leo feels dread and panic split through his body, it prickles his skin with coldness. He and Raph both give a knowing look.
Mikey, is out of time.
Raph then reacts quickly, shooting a hand out like a viper and grabs onto Mikey's wrist and pulls him to the surface. He fires out of the water and drags Mike up on the ground, laying face up.
"Mikey! stay with us buddy!" Raph shouts as Donnie and Leo climb out after them quickly. Donnie kneels down on the side of Mikey.
"Come on Mikey! Breathe!" Donnie shouts and reaches down to check Mikey's pulse. Leo stands next to Raph, Raphs breathing turns heavy. Leo knows his brother is on the edge of breaking down. The leader in blue himself just stares down at the lifeless form. To afraid to move, overcome with shock. As Donnie feels his pulse, a new wave of panic washes over the young genius' face. His heart is stopped.
"No, no no no! Mikey no!" Donnie whispers and pushes hard down in the center of Mikey's chest. He pumps his hands up and down hard, putting weight into it. He is mumbling to himself as he counts quietly at the task. Then he stops and bends over, tilting Mikey's head back and pinches at the nose. He covers his mouth over Mike's and puffs his cheeks as he blows. He turns his head to the side and gasps in air then blows into Mikey's mouth again. He does this a twice before going back to the pumping. This time a frustrated and hurried noise escapes from Donnie.
"Come on...come on!" He mumbles, tears start to fall down his face. Raph falls to his knees on the other side of Mike and Donnie. He stares at his little brother. The cold, lifelessness coming from the hard and dim blue eyes, it stabs at the red turtles heart. He felt pain in a way that he never felt before. He has always been emotional, he knows all about emotional pain, or so he thought. This is different then anything he has felt before. This can't be happening, not Mikey. Never Mikey. He feels little shivers crawling at his skin and something rumbles through his throat. He opens his mouth and hears himself shout,
"Mikey. Don't do this to us." He felt a sob escape and his voice shrinks into a whisper,
"Please...don't do this to us."
Donnie switches back to breathing into Mikey's mouth. Leo just watches in shock. He can't move, can't speak, can't cry. He wasn't even sure if he was breathing! He just stares at all of his brothers, Raph breaking, Donnie panicking, and Mikey dying. He feels so helpless, so empty. Raph's words were ringing through his ears. Don't do this to us.
Donnie pushes back from Mikey's mouth with a cry, he too was sobbing now.
"YOU ARE NOT DYING MICHELANGELO." Donnie shouts at the motionless form with so much hurt in his voice, so much panic. Donnie begins to beat on Mikey's chest harder and harder. Releasing a frustrated cry with every hit. Raph breaks down even more into tears and holds onto Mikey's arm, gripping so tightly it will leave a bruise. Raph is repeating "Please", over and over again in a quiet voice. Either whispering to Mikey, or praying to a higher power. Leo continues to stare, horrified.
One thought is pulsing through Leo's brain as he watches Don cry and beat against Mikey's chest, No.
No.
No.
Opps. Did I do that? REVIEW PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Also sorry for the poor editing! I was determined to post another chapter before I leave for a couple days, so I had a deadline per say. SORRY!
