Chapter 2

He knew what his Master Splinter had said when they left, but there was something about this place, something that didn't feel right, something dangerous. His jaws tightened as he looked at the house. A tingling ran down the back of his spin.

Leo knew he wasn't the only one who felt it, his brothers did as well. Mikey was clinging so tightly to Raphs arm that it looks like he was cutting off the blood to it. There was a brush of fingers on his back as Donnie took a hold of the oldest boy's belt. Leo looked up at the house; it was almost like it was watching the four turtles.

Taking a deep breath he said "Guys, it's the last stop," Leo stopped to gulped before finishing. There was something about this place..."All we have to do is stick close to everyone and follow their lead and we'll be out in no time." Just don't sound scared he told himself.

"You say that but…" Donnie stopped, moving behind hind him with his eyes closed.

I really need to stay calm, to be brave for my brother's sake. It's my job as the leader and as the oldest the boy told himself. It was easier said than done. After having read a hand full of monster comics Mikey had insisted that the blue clad turtle to read, so he could get into the Halloween spirit.

"Master Splinter said it was good for training, and we should do as he says, so…" Just get it over with Leo! Shifting he tried to turn, but Donnie had such a grip on the back of his belt it made it hard to do.

The house was watching them, or something was as Leo dragged Donnie to the door. He really didn't want to go in, but was too late to back out now. It was for training, He told himself. But Leo knew he was doing it for his younger brothers.

Taking a breath the turtle stepped into the darkness of the place. It was hard for him to see anything, which made it difficult to find the rest of the group. Leo tried to walk faster as he pulled his brother down the halls, but Donnie pulled back causing him to stumble.

That's when something caught the boy's eye just a head of them. Stopping suddenly he caused Don to bump into him. He must have been deep in thought about something. It was a silhouette of a man standing with his back to them. It was hard to tell what he was wearing; it was so dark that he blended in.

"Wh…what?" Donnie whispered. Leo felt his brother's grip tighten, as he glanced back at him to make sure he was all right.

"I thought I saw someone, maybe it's the rest of the group." When he turned to look back, the man was gone. Peering threw the shadows Leo looked to see if he could find where the man disappeared to.

Reaching for his swords instinctively when he got the feeling of someone behind them. SHELL! Leo thought, remembering they had to leave them home. Leonardo calm down, take a deep breath and just calm down. Closing his eyes the boy took a deep breath.

"L…Leo?" Donnie was now holding tightly onto his brother's shell. "I want to leave now, please."

"All right, but we have to hurry to catch up with the others."

After that Donnie was willing to move faster. Something was following them as they moved down the halls. Leo risked a quick glance back as the two turned a corner, but saw nothing. Nothing? He thought. Where was Mikey and Raph? They should have been right behind us. Maybe Mikeys keeping Raph outside. You know how he gets when he's scared. Leo told himself.

"Leo look out!" Donnie stopped and pulled hard on the oldest boy's belt. Leo would have fallen onto Casey if he hadn't turned and caught his green friend.

"Where've you guys been?" he asked, helping Leo to steady himself.

Faking a smile He said "Mikey got scared and doesn't want to come inside."

"So that's where Raph is."

The boy just nodded as Casey turned back to the rest of the group.

"I don't like this place Leo, can we hurry up?" Donnie whispered from behind.

Casey glanced back at us and grinned. "What's wrong Don, the spooks got cha spooked?" He slowed down, so he was next to the oldest. "There aint nothen to be afraid of Don. Isn't that right Leo?"

"Uh…right Casey." Leo wasn't so sure of that. By the feelings he was getting to the way Donnie and the others were acting. Something had to be here. So why didn't anyone else in the group feel, or notice anything? Was it because of their training that the four could sense the presents here, or was it something else? Shuddering Leo shook off the thought and started walking as the group moved on.

April must have noticed, because she slowed and asked, "Are you okay?" She laid a hand on his arm. "You don't seem well."

Leo looked back at Donnie who seemed focused on his shell. It was hard to tell what he was thinking; his face was a mix of emotions. The boy had never seen Donnie like this before, it had him worried.

"We're fine April, just a little worried about Mikey. You know how he can be." That seemed to please her, for she smiled.

"This place must be creepy if Mikey doesn't want to come inside. Is Raph with him?" She looked back.

"Yeah, Mikey didn't want to wait by himself." Leo didn't want to tell her that he was so afraid of being here, that he wouldn't let go of Raph. He hasn't done that in a long time. That's what really bothered him. Mikey has never been this scared since they were little, and even Raph and Donnie were scared. This place even had him scared.

As the group walked threw the rest of the place Leo concentrated on staying calm and keeping Donnie calm as well. He didn't want Casey feeling bad for suggesting this, he met well. It was hard to keep himself from checking behind them, that person, or thing kept following the two threw the house. Just what did it want?

As they neared the end of the tour and there was still no sign of Mikey or Raph. What happed to them? Are they waiting for us outside? Are they alright? The eldest boy was starting to get worried; something was telling him something was wrong. What it was Leo couldn't tell.

Michelangelo, Raphael where are you guys?
