chapter 3: Leonardo's servitude
It had only been several hours, and Leonardo was already feeling weak and broken. Raph has had him do many things to cleaning his entire bedroom, doing his chores around the lair, giving spike a bath, and being totaly humiliated with embarassing tasks such as massaging his neck and feet, fanning him off with a fan, and even dancing for him. He did not know how much more he could take of Raph's orders.
At the moment, he had some time to himself. So far, Donnie and Mikey had not asked him why he was acting like Raph's slave. He was thankful for that. He only hoped that Raph would leave him alone for a while.
"LEO! BRING ME SOME PIZZA AND A SODA!" Raph commanded. Leo did as he was told to do. What choice did he have? He only hoped Raph was in a good mood.
"Here you go, Raph" Leo said.
"Thank you. I have another task for you."
"And that is?" He seems to be in one of his bad moods. I only hope Mikey isn't the one who pissed him off
"I want you to be my personal foot stool for the next hour."
"WHAT! Do you honestly think I would degrade myself to that level? you are out of your mind raph!"
"I command you to be my foot stool, Leo."
For the first time since he got this terrible curse, Leo actually stuggled with the command. He would not let Raph degrade him that way. As Leo struggled, he felt terrible pain: shortness of breath, pounding head, churnning stomache, etc. He did not know how much longer he could hold it.
"Raph, please reconsider this command. I am begging you! I can not take this pain any longer."
"Well, maybe you should just give in. that may stop the pain."
Leo finally realized that giving in was the only solution. He got down on all fours, and Raph put his feet on him. The pain finally stopped, but leo was still on the verge of tears. What had he ever done to deserve this treatment from Raph?
"That's better."
"Raph...what if one of our brothers come in here and see me like this? Would you still have me here on the floor? Have you humiliated me enough? I may have sworn that I would work myself to the bone for you, but this is beyond my limits. I am not a piece of furniture, Raph. I will not lower myself to this."
"You will if i say you will. Besides, you don't have a choice."
Raph was right. He had no choice. This curse was what took away his free will. He never thought it would come to this. He only hoped tomorrow would be better.
The next day was even worse. Leo was forced to cook Raph's meals, massage his feet once again, do all his house hold chores, and clean his room. Currently, he was fanning him.
"You have gotten really good at this."
"Well, I am only trying to please you."
"I can tell. You have been working quite hard. Athough, I've never seen you this dedicated to your chores before. Why the sudden change?"
"I realized what choice did i have? Your the puppet master here, I am the one who has strings attached, I am the one who is forced to be nothing more than a mere puppet. You have all the power, Raph, not me."
"Glad you finally see it my way, Leo."
At that moment, the two of them did not realize that Donnie had seen and heard the whole thing. He was both infuriated with Raph and saddened that Leo was being treated this way. He knew he would have to talk with Leo about this soon. He would talk with him tonight about it.
Don't worry, Leo. I will help you in any way I can. I promise. Raph is going to pay for what he has done to you. Why would you say that you are nothing but a puppet to him, and that he had all the power? What is going on Leo?
