I won't be able to post up chapters very often for a while now! Monday is my last day of summer holidays which means I'm going back to school.. So I'll probably only be able to update during the weekend. Enjoy xx

A Problem with Spirits

Chapter 9

The two eldest brothers fought against the doors that kept their brothers from them but it was no use, they were shut fast.

''LET. THEM. GO!'' Raph growled between each punch.

''Raph stop'' leo pulled the hot head away from Michelangelo's door, ''You're making your knuckles bleed''

''I don't care'' Raph grumbled,

''Well I do'' Leo said in his best leader voice, ''Stop being stupid and think!''

''Don't call me stupid Leo'' Raph growled angrily, red was starting to cover his vision. He leapt at the leader and tried to punch him but Leo swiftly dodged.

''RAPH!'' Leo growled but suddenly he couldn't speak, his lips were moving but no sound was coming out. There was no way for him to calm his brother down! He knew that if he told his brother that this wasn't helping the others that Raph would calm down completely.

''What's wrong Leo? Turtle got your tongue?'' Raph snickered nastily. Leo pointed at his throat in panic, he tried to get Raph to realise but his brother was just too angry.

Raph was starting to understand that something was wrong with Leo but his angry side stopped him from caring.

He leapt forward and knocked Leo to the ground, he punched the leader over and over again before screaming into his face.

''I WISH YOU WERE IN THOSE ROOMS INSTEAD OF MIKE AND DON! I HATE YOU LEO!''

And just like that Leo disappeared. The two doors opened.

''GUYS!'' Raph ran into each room and took his unconscious brothers to the living room before frowning. ''Where'd Leo go? He disappeared.. Is he hiding from me?''

He looked around himself before smiling and shaking his head.

''Leo? Leo stop hiding'' He laughed.

''He's not hiding Raphael'' Mary laughed but the turtle couldn't see her.

''Where is he then?'' Raph had a worried feeling his his gut but he tried to look past it.

''You should be more careful about what you wish for'' mary's teasing voice hit Raph like a dagger, ''You gave your brother to me. Now your other brothers are free. Leonardo will be watching with me.. It's a shame you didn't notice when I took his voice.. now he can't call out to you guys.. he's trying though''

Raph pictured Leo beaten and in the clutches of the evil ghost, he could see his brother screaming for them but the sound just wouldn't come out.

''You.. Oh god..'' Raph gulped loudly, ''What have I done..''

Mary's laugh pieced the sad silence before drifting away.

''R-Raph'' Mikey mumbled as he sat up, he looked over at his purple banded brother, ''DON!?''

''Huh?'' Donnie woke with a start and looked at his two brother. ''Phew.. I thought I was dead for a minute there''

Raph watched as the two youngest hugged each other before smiling at him, their smiles soon faded when they saw the expression on Raph's face.

''Hey.. uh.. Where's Leo?'' Mikey asked nervously.

''Did Mary get to him too?'' Don gasped worriedly, ''Tell us Raph!''

Raphael sighed before telling his brothers everything.

''I just got so angry.. he was calling me stupid and felt hopeless coz I couldn't save you guys and.. I just lost it'' He sat between his brothers and buried his face in his hands. ''It's all my fault.. I knew something was wrong... I hurt him.. god.. The last thing I said to his was that I hated him! What if that's the last thing he ever heard!.. I don't hate him.. I don't... I'm a moron! A FUCKING MORON!''

He tried to hide the tears that were falling but soon enough he found himself sobbing while his brothers tried to comfort him.

''We'll get him back'' Don nodded fiercely, ''I promise''

''Don't worry Raphie'' Mikey sniffled, ''Leo's gonna be ok''

He wasn't sure he even believed himself.
