Chapter 22-Leo's true intentions

I could never tell raph the real reason why I have been so cruel. The reason being...shredder! I had gone on a single patrol the other night, and I caught shredder talking with his goons. They knew the curse transferred to raph, and they planned to use him for their evil plan they originally were going to force me to do. I faced shredder alone, and I told him a lie...A lie that has bothered me since my encounter. I told shredder that I had betrayed my family and that I would use raph myself to kill my brothers and father, but that was a lie. Of course, I had to make it look like I was at least using him to my advantage, for I asked shredder to "give" raph to me as a "gift" for my loyalty to him. He agreed. So that is my reasons. I hope raph will forgive me. He probably thinks I hate him. I don't blame him. I'm starting to hate myself. Mike and Donny probably hate me to. I only hope I can stop shredder before it's to late.

Raph...I am sorry...so very sorry. Please brother...forgive me. Father...Please, forgive me.
