A Forest full of horrors

Chapter 15

The three turtles set off towards the first house to see a little old lady sitting in her rocking chair, she seemed to be fast asleep.

''She'd be easy'' Mikey observed. ''besides I'd rather kill old people than young ones..''

''Yeah.. but.. we each have to do two.. Who's gonna go first?'' Don asked warily, he really didn't want to do this.

''There's a kinfe on the counter'' Mikey pointed out, ''is there anyone who wants to go first and get the knife?''

''We'll all use the knife'' Raph nodded, ''I'll go first'' he quietly stepped through the open window, he grabbed the knife and inhaled. ''For leo''

he stabbed the old woman in the chest, Her eyes flew open before going completely still.

raph ran back to his brothers and they all ran away from the house.

''One down.. One to go'' Raph muttered.

''Yeah for you'' Don frowned, ''One down five more to go''

''Who's next?'' Mikey sighed.

They moved to the smallest house in the village and peaked in, he house was filled with kids and a single mother.

''we can't kill kids!'' Mikey hissed.

''No..'' Don shook his head, ''Let's go''

They went to the next house to see a couple of old people sitting together on the couch.

''I'll do this one'' Mikey nodded, ''This way I kill my two at once!''

He took the knife and crept up behind them, they were saying something to each other in spanish.

Mikey slashed the knife across the back of their necks and they gasped before falling still.

''Sorry'' Mike muttered then he noticed they were holding hands. ''Oh.'' There were cards set up on the little table in front of them, Mikey suddenly felt sick. he leapt out the window and ran as far as he could and into the outskirts of the jungle.

''Mikey?'' Don frowned once he and Raph caught up.

''it was their anniversary'' Mikey shuddered, ''I killed them on their anniversary''

''You had no other choice'' Raph sighed as he and Don helped Mikey up. ''We're doing this for Leo remember.. Just focus on that''

Mikey nodded.

''Still doesn't justify what we're doing'' Don muttered under his breath but the other two didn't seem to hear him.

''We're halfway done already'' raph smiled weakly, ''That's good''

''Let's go'' Don nodded.

They ventured to yet another shack to find a middle aged man sitting on the floor crying, he was shouting things in Spanish but he was clearly in a lot of emotional pain.

Donnie took the knife and slashed the back of the man's neck, he yelped before falling to the side.

''Done one'' Don shuddered. There's only two more people left to kill.

''And it's already getting dark'' Mikey squeaked.

''let's hurry then!'' Raph commanded as they ran to the next house. Raph jumped in and kill the woman before she could even realise but as he jumped back out the window a young girl ran into the room and screamed.

''Oh god'' Raph gasped, ''I didn't even think about it.. what have I done..''

A man ran in and the little girl hugged him and cried, they both knelt at the woman's side and sobbed.

''I just broke up a family'' Raph gulped.

''It's not your fault'' Mikey hugged his brother. ''that ghost lord guys is breaking up our family as we speak.. it was a sacrifice we had to make''

''Guys we gotta hurry'' Don swallowed dryly, ''it's really late''

the ran to the home nearest the haunted house to find a man beating his child and shouting harsh words at him.

''My turn'' Don growled as he ran up to the man and stabbed him.

''The ghost of the jungle!'' The boy grinned. ''You're back!''

Don winked before jumping back out the window.

''Come on!'' Raph called as they ran to the house, ''let's go get leo back!''

They ran into the house and up.

they arrived outside the room but the door was locked, leo's screams echoed from inside.

''You will be my slave'' The lord laughed.

''WE'RE HERE!'' Raph called as he banged on the door, ''WE DID AS YOU SAID NOW LET US IN''

The door opened and the turtles walked in to see leo being pulled from the portal as a ghost, his face was twisted in agony as his body stretched. The turtle screamed and groaned as he was pulled and yanked.

''Stop'' Don growled, ''We did as you said so bring him back!''

''Very well'' The lord huffed.

Leo gained all his colour back and solidified, he was thrown towards his brothers.

''Leo.. You're ok'' The brothers grinned. leo sat up painfully and looked up at them.

''You really killed six of my people?'' He asked worriedly.

''W-We had to'' Mikey frowned, ''We need you Leo''

Leo hugged his brothers.

''I can't imagine how hard that must have been for you'' The brothers said nothing, ''I'm sorry I dragged you into this''

''wait'' Raph frowned as he faced the lord, ''What happened to Carla, Diego and Lola?''

''I've destroyed them already'' The lord laughed.

Leo felt like his heart had been pierced by a cold blade.

''No..'' Leo gasped before turning angry. ''GRAH!'' he growled as he flew at the ghost lord, the man hadn't been expecting Leo to react and was caught off guard.

leo hit straight into the man sending them both flying towards the portal, The ghost lord flew through and grabbed leo's ankle and tried to pull him through.

Don leapt forward and grabbed leo's wrist and pulled him to safety.

''Done'' Mike grinned as the lord disappeared.

''Now we just need to go home'' Raph grinned.
