chapter 7: Mikey learns the truth and Raph's nightmare
"Donnie? What the hell is going on?"
"Mikey, go to my room. We need to talk."
I'm sorry, Leo. I have to tell him. He's my baby brother, too.
"Donnie, what just happened? Why was Leo bowing at Raph's feet and saying those things to him?"
"It's a long story Mikey."
"Well, i'm all ears! Tell me now, Donatello!"
How am I going to explain the curse to Mikey? If only I were not the one doing this. Leo...please...forgive me.
"It started about four days ago. Leo was visited by an ancient ninja sorcerer, and was given a curse...the curse of obedience. it makes the victim follow the commands of anyone who gives the victim a command, in this cas Leo was obeying a command from Raph. Raph has made Leo be his personal slave until sensei returned. You have no idea what this curse could make Leo do. Obviously you saw the curse in action just a little while ago, but it has done more damage to him than you think. Raph has become a complete slave driver towards Leo, and Leo had just accepted it for a while. But now...I fear that Raph has finally broke Leo's spirit. Leo was strong for a while, but I could see that he was beginning to break. He had become more obedient without the power of the curse, just to please Raph. We have got to do something about this."
"WHAT?! RAPH DID WHAT?!"
"I knew you would freak out!"
"Freak out? This is beyond freaked out! I am going to pound my fist in Raph's mouth!"
"No Mikey! Leo can't know that you know. I made a promise not to tell you. We have to find a way to help him on our own."
"Fine Donnie, but how?"
"I really don't know Mikey. I just don't know."
Raph was trying to sleep. But for some reason he kept having a weird dream. He saw himself, and Leo...but Leo was being extremly cruel to him, ordering him around like a slave...Raph realized that it was showing him with the obedience curse instead of Leo.
"RAPH! GO GET ME SOME PIZZA AND A SODA! And when your done with that, you can go clean my room and polish my my katanas."
"Alright Leo. As you wish. Do you need anything else?"
"No. That is all for now."
"Leo, when your done using Raph can I use him for a while? I have a few tasks for him to do?"
"Sure Donnie. I will order him to be in your room in one hour."
"Thanks Leo. Has Raph seemed more obedient to you lately, Leo?"
"Yes, now that you mention it. He has seemed more...compliant with my orders as well as yours and Mikey's. I am actually impressed with him right now. If only he were this compliant and obedient at the beginning. At least now he understands...that he belongs to me and to the two of you. I am so thankful that this awesome curse was put on him. Now he knows how we felt when he would boss us around."
"I know Leo. Well, just tell raph to be in my room in one hour. See you later Leo."
"Ok, Bye Donnie."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OH MY GOD! It was just a dream. No...not a dream...but a nightmare. What have I done? What if that had been me as the slave instead of leo? What kind of brother am I? I thought this would be fun, but Donnie was right. This curse has brought nothing but pain for Leo. Here I was, being a total jerk and Leo, being my slave for my entertainment. I have got to do something about this. If Leo wants revenge for this, I will gladly accept his punishment. He deserves to treat me the same way i treated him. I deserve no mercy from him. I wish this terrible curse was placed on me, and not Leo. He is my older brother, and I degraded him, and humiliated him. I must talk with Donnie about this. He is the only one who can help Leo."
I only hope I am not to late.
