Creep

Chapter 3

Raphael crept through the sewers as quietly as he possibly could, he didn't want his Father to catch him and make him explain everything! He wanted to get back to Donnie as soon as possible, he was in danger.

He's always in danger now.

It frustrated Raph that he didn't know who was behind his brother's harassment, all he wanted to do was kill the guy so Donnie could be safe and have the courage to be himself again.

He ground his teeth as he remembered the sound of the man's voice as he taunted them, Raph at first thought that he man wanted to test on his brother but now… now he wasn't so sure. The way the man spoke… he had heard that tone before, they all had. Whenever they came across a rape the rapist would use that tone on his victim to show them how much they desired them.

Raph shuddered as he pictured the man attacking Donnie.

No! That won't happen!

They would never let that happen!

But what if he threatens to kill them? Donnie already said if it came to that he would willingly go with the guy. They couldn't really let Donnie do that could they?

But they promised…

And what if it's Mikey he threatens?

What if it's him? Leo wouldn't let the man kill any of his little brothers…

He realised he had just arrived outside the lair, he shook the thoughts out of his head and slipped in silently.

Meanwhile topside Leo, Donnie and Mikey had just arrived outside the grocery shop, they were scared of doing this.

This was something the purple dragons would do!

''How do we get in without triggering the alarm?'' Donnie asked with a frown.

''Yeah'' Mikey chirped as he pretended to inspect the shop. ''No skylight this time!''

''Is there any way you could deactivate it?'' Leo asked hopefully. Donatello stepped forward and inspected the door and windows before joining his brothers again.

''they're electric, My T-phone should be able to override them and disable them'' Donnie nodded as he pulled out his phone, ''Give me a minute''

''So naughty'' The voice chuckled lightly. ''I like that''

The three brothers jumped and Donnie dropped his phone.

They groaned angrily. Don picked up his phone and forced himself to ignore the frightened feeling in his gut.

''Ok… alarms are deactivated'' He nodded. ''Let's hurry up''

They slipped into the dark, empty grocery store.

Back at the lair Raphael had grabbed a huge amount of blankets and shoved them into a spare duffel bag, he grabbed a few matches and candles just in case. He was about to leave but he felt a presence behind him.

''Raphael?'' It was Splinter. ''What are you doing home? Where are your brothers?''

Raph spun round and smiled at his Father/Sensei.

''Um… they're still at April's. I was told to come back here and get some bedding, April didn't have enough for all four of us'' Raph shrugged.

''You came home willingly to do your brothers a favour?'' Splinter raised an eyebrow.

''I wouldn't say willingly'' Raph frowned. ''More like nagged into doing it''

''Ah'' Splinter smiled. ''I see''

''I really should be heading back Sensei… the pizza might arrive before I do. I want a piece before Mikey eats it all'' Raph readjusted the strap before turning towards the door.

''Yes. Michelangelo does have a tendency to eat other people's food'' Splinter nodded. ''Good luck in getting there first Raphael, do not hurt your brother if he beats you though. You know what he's like''

Raph chuckled and nodded before venturing back out into the sewers. Now he felt bad.

His Father didn't know one of his sons were in danger. After all this Raph may never hurt his brothers again no matter how much they annoy him, he doesn't want his brothers in trouble again.

''Leo! We didn't think this through'' Mikey hissed with full arms. ''We should've brought a bag or something!''

''Mikey'' Donnie called from around the corner. ''This is a corner shop! There are a ton of bags at the cash registers''

''Oh'' Mikey grinned as he rushed to the cash registers and placed the items he found in several bags.

''Make sure to just get things we don't need to cook'' Leo called from another part of the shop,

''yeah we know'' Mikey and Donnie replied as they spread around a bit more.

''My prey is all alone'' A voice whispered through the aisles. ''I'm coming to get you!''

''DON!'' Leo and Mikey yelped.

Donnie froze where he was as he felt a presence behind him, he looked round but no one was there. He could hear his brothers running to his part of the store, suddenly a hand was on his shoulder and he was forced against the shelves.

''Scream for me'' the voice breathed in his ear as the sound of a knife was pulled from his pocket.

Leo and Mikey bumped into each other.

''C'mon'' Leo nodded. Donnie's frightened scream echoed around them causing them to run madly to where it came.

Mikey pulled out his phone.

''Raph!'' Mikey yelped.

''What!? What's wrong?'' Raph asked immediately.

''You gotta get here quick! We're in trouble!'' Mikey gulped. Another scream was heard.

''WAS THAT DONNIE!?'' Raph demanded, Mikey could hear him running.

''Yeah! Hurry Raph!'' Mikey said before hanging up. They arrived at the other side of the store to find a few bags filled with food but no Donnie.

''DONNIE!?'' Leo called as fear gripped his heart. He heard quiet crying coming from a corner and he headed towards it.

As he got closer he recognised the shape, he knelt beside him and put a hand on his shoulder.

''Donnie'' He breathed as he felt his brother trembling under his hand.

''GUYS!? GUYS!?''

''Over here Raphie'' Mikey called. Leo didn't look round as his angry brother arrived and stared at his crying brother.

''Donnie'' Leo tried again. ''What did he do to you Donnie? What did he do?''

There was a moment of silence until Donnie's soft voice finally began to work.

''H-He attacked me from behind… he p-pinned me to the shelves and st-started… started… he kept stroking me Leo… he said I was gonna be his p-pet'' Donnie shuddered.

''He's never going to touch you again Don'' Leo replied gently, he pulled his shaking brother into a hug. ''You don't need to be afraid anymore''

Mikey and Raph knelt next to them and joined in the hug.

''Why's he after me?'' Donnie squeaked. ''I don't understand''

''He's sick in the head Donnie'' Raph replied firmly. ''Don't let him scare you''

''You're gonna be ok Donnie, no matter what, we'll work out how to stop this guys and you'll be ok'' Mikey nodded as tears of his own spilt from his eyes.

The three brothers comforted the fourth as he trembled violently. Poor Donnie had never felt so afraid in his life, he only hoped his brothers were right.

Poor Donnie! Please Review xx
