HAPPY EASTER GUYS! I'm on a role today! I've eaten so much chocolate and I've written the next to chapters for Creep after this one! (I'm only posting one chapter though. Sorry~)
Creep
Chapter 4
The four brothers left the grocery store, they walked so close to one another that their arms were touching.
Donnie glared at the floor, he wanted to take a stand. He wasn't going to be treated like this!
But he was scared.
''We're almost there'' Leo nodded, ''Then we can finally rest''
''It's been a long night'' Mikey sighed as they climbed onto the rooftop.
They sat together and shared their blankets. They looked to the horizon to see the sun starting to rise, the sky was dyed a golden orange colour. It was beautiful.
''I hope it doesn't rain'' The others nodded. Donnie could feel his eyes drooping, he'd had enough for today, all he wanted to do now is sleep.
''Go to sleep Donnie'' Leo mumbled without looking at his brother, Donnie nodded and lay down with his blanket wrapped tightly around him. ''You'll be safe tonight''
Within seconds Donnie's soft snoring could be heard, the three brothers shuffled closer to him and continued to watch the sunrise.
''Splinter caught me'' Raph sighed, Leo and Mikey looked over at him. ''I told him that April just didn't have enough bedding for us all''
''I bet Sensei knows what's going on'' Leo muttered as he watched the sky. ''he always senses these things. I bet he's worried''
''We're not going home anytime soon huh?'' Mikey refused to look at his older brothers. ''Which is stupid''
''What?'' Leo frowned. ''It's not stupid''
''Yeah it is'' Mikey frowned slightly. ''If went home we'd be in familiar surroundings and Sensei'd be there to help protect us''
Raph and Leo looked at their little brother.
''But we have two escape routes in the lair, he could totally close them both off then we'd be trapped with him'' Leo sat up straight. ''That's a risk we just can't take''
''Do you really think we'll be able to out run him?'' Mikey looked at his brothers angrily. ''He's like a shadow, he's faster than us! We can't escape him, we have to end him''
''You've watched movies with this scenario huh?'' Raph smirked. Mikey's eyes widened and a blush crossed his face.
''No…'' Mikey bowed his head slightly. ''I read it in a comic book once.''
''Yeah but the difference is this is real life not some comic book with an author who wants to cause drama for their characters'' Leo smiled. ''We aren't being written, we're real. No author's gonna kill us off or hurt us''
Mikey and Raph nodded with small smiles.
''I'm going to sleep'' Mikey yawned as he lay down next to Donnie with a blanket of his own. ''Night''
''Goodnight little brother'' Leo put a hand on Mikey's head as the young turtle fell asleep, he looked at Raph. ''Only one of us has to stay up, you wanna sleep?''
''Nah… I won't be able to sleep tonight'' Raph sighed as he hugged his knees to his chest, ''Not with that wacko hunting my bro''
''Yeah'' Leo nodded in understanding. ''I won't be able to sleep either. It's just so… unnerving''
''Unnerving?'' Raph cocked his head as he looked at his brother.
''I'm sick of saying creepy'' He chuckled.
''But creepy's the best word for it'' Raph pointed out before sighing. ''What are we gonna do Leo? We can't let him hurt Donnie''
''We agreed that if one of us is threatened we'd allow Donnie to sacrifice himself'' Leo growled bitterly. ''We have no choice. We'll just have to prevent that from happening''
''He doesn't want to kill Don'' Raph gulped. ''I recognised the tone''
''I did too but I'd rather not think about it'' Leo grimaced.
''We have to'' Raph demanded. ''We can't just pretend this isn't happening! We need to think of something''
Leo nodded but stayed silent.
The two brothers sat and watched as the sun finally appeared fully, they could hear the humans leaving their homes to go to work and school.
''Talk about your early risers'' Raph smirked, Leo smiled back.
''And you thought I was bad''
They shared a chuckle before watching the humans walk around below them.
A couple of hours later Donnie woke up to see the back of Mikey's head in front of his face. He smiled slightly and sat up without disturbing his little brother.
He looked over to see his two eldest brothers watching the humans with dazed eyes.
He looked around, it was such a bright day!
''You still here?'' Donnie mumbled as he scanned the rooftops around. ''Too bright for you?''
He stood up and decided to take a quick patrol around the area.
He leapt onto the first rooftop before jumping to the second, then the third and finally the fourth. This was the tallest building in the area, he could see for miles.
''No sign of him'' He observed. ''Doesn't like being seen''
Back at the rooftop camp Leo and Raph had snapped out of their daydreams.
They got up and walked back to where their brothers had been sleeping to find one missing.
''DONNIE!?'' They yelped causing Mikey to wake with a squeak.
''WHAT? WHAT?'' He yelped as he jumped to his feet, he looked around with a frown, ''Where's D?''
The brothers looked around themselves in fear.
''Dude'' Mikey shivered. ''That guy must've taken him… that means he was close to me… how did I not wake up?''
Everyone shuddered, Mikey turned to Raph and Leo with an angry look on his face.
''WHY WASN'T ANYONE LOOKING OUT!?'' He demanded. ''HE COULDA SNATCHED BOTH OF US! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING US!''
Leo and Raph bowed their heads in shame.
''Let's look around, maybe he's not far'' He sighed. He and Mikey split up, suddenly Raph started growling.
''What?'' Mikey asked.
''Found him'' Raph snarled. ''He's up there'' He pointed to the silhouette of his brother and the three turtles made their way towards him.
Donne sighed as a gentle breeze brushed against him making his mask tails float elegantly next to his face.
''Where are you?'' He frowned worriedly, ''You wouldn't give up that easily.''
He suddenly felt presences behind him, he froze before turning slowly only to find his brothers glaring at him.
He sighed in relief.
''He's not here'' He commented. ''It's too bright''
''You don't know that Donatello'' Leo spat, Donnie flinched at the use of his full name. ''He could be hiding in an alley where it's dark! What were you thinking?''
''He wasn't thinking'' Raph answered for him. ''Idiot''
''I just wanted to see if I could catch him'' Donnie sighed. ''I was hoping he wouldn't be here so we could go home''
''Aww Boo hoo! He's home sick'' Raph mocked. Mikey and Leo frowned at him. ''I don't care! That's no excuse to go and put yourself in danger and make us worry for you!''
''I know'' Donnie sighed. ''It was stupid… but it's my problem and I feel like I should be the one to deal with it. You guys shouldn't have to suffer because of me… You guys would feel the same, I know you would''
The others stayed quiet, he had a point.
''Let's just go back to our camp'' Leo muttered. Mikey and Raph were quick to follow but Donnie hung back for a second.
''Just leave me alone'' He growled, ''You're not going to win''
''Move yer shell Donnie!'' Raph snapped. Donnie sighed before following his angry brothers back to camp.
He was in for one hell of a lecture!
