A Forest full of Horrors

Chapter 12

The four turtles were walking down yet another corridor. This was all getting a bit much for them and they were close to collapsing.

''Dudes'' Mikey groaned as he stopped walking, his brothers carried on.

''C'mon Mikey'' Leo called tiredly, ''We have to keep moving''

''I can't take another step'' Mikey groaned as he stepped forward and fell to his knees. The others looked round at the exhausted turtle.

''We can't stop here'' Donnie frowned gently as he knelt next to Mikey . ''We need to find somewhere safe to stay''

''He's right Mike'' Raph nodded, ''Once we find a safe room we can rest''

''Ok'' Mikey nodded as he stood up again. The four teenagers made their way slowly to the next room.

unfortunately the next room was a while away.

''Tired? well.. This ought to wake you up'' The black death's voice echoed around them before everything went silent.

The boys froze and looked behind them, something was coming.

The sound of footsteps running behind them was getting louder.

''Wait'' Don whispered, ''I-.. I can hear.. claws?''

A group of huge dogs leapt out of the darkness behind them and ran towards them with a hungry look in their eyes.

''RUN!'' Leo yelped. The four turtles sprinted down the hall, Mikey and leo were in front, Raph in the middle and Don at the back.

Donatello was never a fast runner even on the best of days! But when he's exhausted it makes it even more difficult.

''OW!'' Don yelped as a dog snapped at his heels.

''RUN FASTER DON!'' Raph yelled from in front.

''I'M TRYING!'' Donnie panted. The poor turtle was just so tired and sore, he was beginning to give up.

Leo noticed a part of the floor stuck up, the boys would be able to jump to it but maybe the dogs wouldn't?

''GUYS! UP THERE!'' Leo called as he grabbed Mikey's wrist and leapt onto the platform.

''NO!'' Don yelped as one of the dogs grabbed the back of his lower leg causing him to fall forward. He was covered in dogs within seconds, he was bitten and scratched.

''DONNIE!'' Leo and Mike called from their safe place. Raph, who had been wondering why there was a sudden lack of dogs, turned around and felt his face go pale.

''No... DONNIE!'' he yelled as he skidded to a stop. ''GET OFFA HIM YOU DIRTY MUTTS!''

Raph ran back to his brother. he kicked and punched the dogs away from his brother in purple.

Enough dogs were out of the way to reveal Don's blood stained hand. Raph grabbed it and pulled Donnie free, he picked him up in the bridal sweep and carried him to his other brothers.

''Don..'' Leo murmered as Raph laid him down. ''Oh god..''

Donatello was covered in both his own and the dogs blood. there were bite marks all over his limbs, the worst bite was on his shoulder where the dog had actually managed to pull a huge piece of skin until it was almost hanging off.

Raph took his mask off and wrapped the shoulder carefully. The other injuries wouldn't cause too much damage.

''Wake up bro'' Mikey begged as he held onto Don, ''Please''

The dogs surrounded the platform, their muzzles red with Donnie's blood.

''We're gonna die'' Mike squeaked.

''No we're not'' leo frowned, ''Those dogs don't want us.. they want to finish Don off''

''Well they ain't gonna!'' Raph hissed.

One of the dogs leapt up and snapped at Don's foot, leo manged to pull his brother out the way. Another snapped at Donnie's head but Mikey punched the dog before it could.

''it's no use'' Leo sighed. ''This platform isn't big enough''

''Urgh..'' Don's eyes fluttered open. He sat up and looked at the dogs surrounding them. ''How am I not dead?''

''Raph managed to get to ya before they could.. you know'' Mikey smiled, Don looked round at Raph. Since a week after leo had gone to south America he and Raphael had not really been getting along, Donnie was actually beginning to think his older brother hated him.

''Thanks Raph'' Don smiled.

''I wasn't gonna let ya be eaten by some mangy mutts now was I?'' Raph rubbed Don on the head.

''Can you stand?'' leo asked gently.

''Yeah.. with a little help'' Don blushed. He stood up as he leant on Raph for support, the dogs had lost interest by now and were padding away.

''We should find a room now'' Mikey shuddered.

The four brothers made their way a little further before finding a good room. Leo let his brothers in first before shutting the door. he looked over them as they settled themselves on the ground, he was beginning to feel guilty again.

''Go to sleep bro'' Raph yawned, ''Your gonna need yer strength''

''Will do'' leo smiled before settling himself down.

They slept for a little while but leo woke up early, he could feel something in the room.. something.. evil.

Suddenly a pair on black arms grabbed his waist and pulled him up.

''WOAH! HELP!'' Leo yelped in panic, his brothers woke up as he tried to fight off the arms.

''LEO!'' Raph grabbed one of Leo's legs, Don grabbed the other as Mikey tried to prize the arms off.

Another pair of arms slid down, One wrapped around Leo's mouth so he couldn't make a noise and the other wrapped around his chest.

Leo struggled against his holds but they were too strong and soon enough he was pulled up through the ceiling.

''NO!'' Mikey yelped.

''leo's gone'' Don shuddered, ''What do we do?''

''He ain't gone yet!'' Raph pointed to the ceiling where Leo's legs were still disappearing, Raph grabbed on and went up with Leo.

Mikey and Don watched in horror as the Ceiling solidified around their angry Brother's waist. raph was now at the mercy of whatever was happening above.. and that couldn't be good.

That was fun! Please Review xx
