Chapter 17: Raphael's struggle part 2
Raph felt like he was about to break. He had no idea of how much more he could take. All Leo did was order him around like a dog, it was always "Raph, fetch this! Raph fetch that! Raph rub my feet! Raph do this! Raph do that!" He could no longer stand it!
Although...he did make a promise to do as Leo commanded till his punishment was up, and he intended to keep his word. At the moment, he was cooking dinner for his brothers. thanks to the curse, it made his cooking abilities quite good, for he was unable to cook before. He only hoped that he could please his brothers to an extent...
Leo's Pov
The total control I had over Raph was indeed amazing. He actually did everything I commanded of him without a struggle. He was finally seeing the very pain I had to go through. I have made him do everything from cleaning the lair, polishing my weapons, massaging my feet, and cooking the meals. He has often given me looks of anger and sometimes even sadness, but he still obeys without complaint. He has indeed proved himself useful.
Raph's Pov
I wish that this torture would just end. Have I not toiled enough? Have I not pleased my brother enough? Hell, have I not worked myself to the point of exhaustion and worked my hands raw? What more could Leo possibly want me to do? Does he wish for his feet to be licked, or even his arse kissed? Dinner would be ready soon, and as ordered I would have to refer to him as "Master". The thought of me having to say that just sickened me, but I had no choice in the matter. I am nothing more than Leo's little puppet. He pulled the strings, while I danced to his sick tune. If Leo wanted me to be his slave, then so be it...
The dinning room
Raph's heart sank. He grabbed the plates of food and slowly walked out of the kitchen and into the room he knew his brothers were in. He was close to tears. He so desperately wished to run to his bedroom and be alone, but even that wasn't allowed. He greeted his brothers with a sad tone to his voice. "Hello donnie, Mikey, and...hello, master." Raph felt sick. He hoped that he could serve the meal, then leave. He did not wish to be in the same room as Leo at the moment. Donnie and Mikey snickered under their breaths at the sight of their brother. Raph felt like an object. He was subject to their whims and Leo's cruelty. He no longer wished to keep his promise. Was this really how he made Leo feel? Did Leo really feel like a total puppet? If so, then Raph felt totally guilty for making Leo feel that way.
"Raph, I have another task for you to do. Go and clean my room. And be quick about it."
"As you wish, Leo."
Raph was thankful that he would not have to stand there and watch them eat. He left the room to go do the task that Leo ordered him to do. As soon as he left, tears began to slowly fall down his face. He no longer cared. He was just thankful to be out of there.
