A Forest full of horrors

Chapter 5

Leo looked over at his sleeping brothers, Diego and Carla had still not come home and it was three minutes past midnight.

They were never coming back.

Leo stood up and looked into the cot, Little Lola opened her eyes and smiled at him. She reached up and opened and closed her hands at him, asking to be lifted. Leo picked her up and hugged her close.

''You miss your mommy and daddy huh?'' He whispered. ''I'm sorry but.. They're not coming back..''

He felt the tears run down his cheek as he sat down on the edge of the bed causing Donnie to wake up.

''I'm sorry little one'' Leo murmured to the baby, ''I'm so sorry''

''They're not back huh?'' Don asked quietly, leo shook his head sadly.

''They're never coming back''

''Don't be like that'' Donnie frowned as he shuffled to sit next to his brother, ''They're probably stuck in the house, it can't be easy getting out. We're gonna try and get in the house to stop the evil so maybe we'll find her parents in there''

''But what if we don't?'' leo asked as he looked over at Don with teary eyes, ''What happens to her?''

''You keep her'' Mikey smiled as he and Raph sat up.

''You're close to her Leo'' Raph shrugs, ''She likes you''

leo looked at his brothers and back to the baby, he couldn't keep her.

''She belongs with the humans'' He frowned, ''We can't keep her''

''We could give her to April?'' Donnie suggested.

''We'll figure it out when we have to'' Raph frowned, ''It'll be fine, we gotta find her a baby sitter until then''

''You guys go back to sleep'' Leo yawned, ''I'll deal with it'' and with that leo left the shack.

the brothers lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

Suddenly there was a shape moving across the room towards them.

''What the?'' Raph frowned as they sat up. Donnie lit the candle next to the bed giving the room an eery glow.

The three turtles screamed in fear when they saw the demon.

It had come from the house and was now towering over them, it let out a piercing scream and flew at them.

The turtles ran out the house to see the village being destroyed.

''LEO!? LEO!?'' They called over all the screaming.

they ran around the village looking for their brother, they were about to give up when they heard a familiar yell.

They looked round to see their brother hit the floor.

''LEO!'' They ran towards him but he was grabbed by a demon and was being thrown around. Another demon shot past them with a screaming baby in it's arms.

''LOLA!'' Mikey yelped as the demon took the baby into the abandoned house.

''AH!'' leo yelled as he was thrown into the ground again only this time he went rolling across the ground towards a fire pit that the village had built. they had no street light so they built fire pits.

Fire pits are deep holes filled with fire and Leonardo was rolling towards one. he tried to stop himself before he reached the edge but at the force he was thrown it was near impossible. he grabbed the edge as he went over it and caught himself.

The fire was hot underneath him, he had to try to climb out. the demon loomed over him like a giant black cloud, it's bright red eyes gleamed menacingly.

''LEO!'' Leo heard his brothers yell in fright, he clambered up the steep wall and tried to get free but it was like a hand was pushing him back.

''HELP!'' Leo yelled as he was pushed off the edge.

A kusarigama chain whistled towards him as he fell and wrapped round his waist. soon he was being pulled up and out of the pit.

he lay on the ground panting fearfully as he listened to the noises around him. His peaceful little village was being burnt to the ground.

''You ok?'' Donnie asked as he grabbed leo's arm.

''yeah.. thanks guys'' he panted.

''I've never heard you yell help before..'' Mikey gulped as he trembled, ''I've never seen you scared'' Mikey had been spooked by his brother's fearful cry, Leo could tell it had scared them all.

''I was being thrown into a fire pit by a demon'' leo frowned, ''I'm allowed to be scared''

''No you ain't'' Raph growled, ''You're our fearless leader and we don't want you givin' in to fear and death eva again''

''I'll try to contain myself'' leo said sarcastically.

''guys'' Donnie gulped, ''I think we'd ought to get into that abandoned house now, we've gotta stop them now!''

''But how can we stop them in the house?'' Mikey asked worriedly.

''That's where they're all coming from.. if we find the source we may be able to destroy it'' Don nodded.

''C'mon guys'' leo stood up and lead his brothers into the abandoned house and shut the door.
