Creep
Chapter 5
Donnie sat on the roof as his brothers paced in front of him, he looked at the rooftops around and wondered if the man was watching.
He could feel the anger radiating off his three brothers as they struggled to find something to say.
He sighed silently, his brothers shot him a glare. Leo stepped forward with Raph and Mikey on either side, Don had to suppress an eye roll.
''Donnie'' Leo began angrily. ''What you did was unbelievably stupid! Your reason for doing it was even more idiotic it's hard to believe you're supposed to be smart. You cannot just leave whenever you feel like it, the whole reason we're up here is protect you! The least you could do is stay put!''
Donnie zoned out and watched as Leo's mouth continued to form angry words with Raph and Mikey nodding along with them.
He was finding it difficult to look at them because they were standing in front of the sun, usually he would ask them to move so he didn't go blind but he thought it better if he stayed quiet.
Suddenly a black shape appeared behind Leo, the three brothers couldn't see it but Donnie could. The shadow was huge and it was making Don feel uncomfortable.
''Are you even listening to me!?'' Leo's outraged voice caught Donnie's attention, he looked back down at Leo before noticing the shadow shake its head.
''Um...'' Donnie stood up slowly without taking his eyes off of it, it brought out a knife and looked like it was about to kill Leo. ''I so was but… there's something more important going on right now''
''Donnie!'' The three brothers snapped. Donnie used that moment to leap over them and take down the shadow, he hit right into it which caused the shadow to drop the knife and them both to roll across the rooftop.
Yet the man was still just pure darkness.
''H-How is this possible?'' Donnie breathed as the shadow went through him and stood up, he jumped to his feet too.
''DONNIE!'' The brothers shouted as they ran to his side. ''Get away from him''
''You like it Donatello?'' It was the man! ''I made the technology myself''
The brothers gasped as the man stepped towards them.
''Don't try to resist me boy'' He chuckled, ''You won't win. I will have you for my own''
''Never'' Raph growled threateningly.
He marched forwards and the shadow backed away looking wary.
''Stay away from my brother or I swear ta god I will kill you!'' Raph snapped as he pulled his sais out. ''You're really pissin' me off!''
The shadow pointed at Donnie.
''This isn't over'' He growled. ''These idiots will not stop me. Do not rely on them''
And with that the man evaporated into thin air.
''I can't believe I didn't sense him behind me'' Leo shook his head before smiling at Donnie, ''Well done Donnie. Looks like you saved my life''
Donnie gulped before offering a small, shy smile back. He turned to Raph and grinned.
''Thanks Raph… it looks like he's afraid of you'' Don chirped.
''He should be'' Raph nodded. ''I'm gonna stay true to my word''
''But he's, like, invisible'' Mikey pouts. ''He's so totally cheating! Who makes tech like that just to stalk a ninja turtle?''
The others shrugged as they sat together again.
''And why you?'' Mikey continued. ''We all kinda look the same! I mean yeah you're taller and you have a gap in your teeth… you're super skinny and really smart but you're still like us!''
They looked at one another awkwardly. Donnie smirked, his brother had practically just said that they are all unattractive especially Don, he could see Mikey trying to find a way to take back what he had said but he was struggling.
Leo shook his head and faced Don.
''You're not in trouble anymore and I won't lecture you any further but'' His eyes narrowed slightly. ''If you do something like that again I'm giving Raph permission to punish you''
Donnie looked over at Raph who was cracking his knuckles threateningly.
''I promise not to be stupid anymore'' Don nodded. ''As long as you guys promise to be better at keeping an eye out'' Raph and Leo blushed as Donnie smirked. ''I saw you two daydreaming''
''I'm with Donnie on this one'' Mikey nodded furiously.
They sat together silently for a moment before starting to feel restless.
What were they supposed to do now? There's no fun to be had on a rooftop.
Back at the lair they had plenty to do both separately and together but they couldn't go home, at least… not yet.
''Dudes'' Mikey groaned as he lay back onto his shell, ''There's nothing to do!''
''We can't even go for a run because it's daytime'' Leo sighed.
''Tonight we are scavenging for stuff to do'' Raph nodded. ''I don't care how dangerous it is. I don't think I can handle being up here like this every day with nothing to do''
The four turtles agreed.
Leo crossed his legs and meditated, Raph looked at him and did the same.
Donnie stood up and went to a different part of the rooftop that was in the shade and lay down, Mikey tried to meditate with Leo and Raph but was finding it difficult.
The three brothers opened an eye to see Don close his eyes with a sigh, he looked comfortable but worried.
''Can we use meditation to read his mind?'' Mikey asked hopefully.
''No'' Leo said as he closed his eyes again. ''That's only if you want to communicate with him. I don't know what happens if we focus on him though''
''We could try'' Raph shrugged. ''Got nothing better to do and meditation can do some freaky stuff!''
''I guess'' Leo nodded.
The three brothers focused on Donnie.
''hey! Stop it!'' Came Donnie's voice in their heads. ''I can feel you guys focusing on me now quit it! I'm fine''
They ignored him and suddenly everything went black.
They opened their eyes to see themselves surrounded in blue, there were small particles around them.
''hey what're these?'' Mikey asked as he went to touch one.
''What the-? Get out of my head'' Donnie's voice growled.
''We're in your brain?'' Mikey gasped. ''Where's all the smart stuff?''
''We're not in his brain Mikey'' Leo snapped. ''We're still focusing on him which is making him hear us''
''Oh'' Mikey blushed, they stopped focusing on their brother and the image cleared only to show them standing behind their meditating bodies on their rooftop.
''Well this is creepy'' Raph frowned.
''Cool'' Mikey grinned as he looked at himself. ''What's going on?''
''We're using our energy to leave our bodies'' Leo explained easily. ''Now if we go towards Donnie he may be able to sense us.''
They walked towards Don and he opened an eye, he looked over at his brothers bodies and sighed as he sat up.
''Guess I'm on watch out duty'' He muttered before frowning. He walked over to the three brothers and knelt before them, he waved a hand in front of their faces.
''heh! Not gonna work bro'' Mikey snickered as he watched.
''Weird… I've never seen Mikey focus like this'' Donnie sounded impressed. He stood back up and looked around, he sighed as he sat in the middle of the rooftop.
''so what now?'' Mikey asked.
Suddenly the image began to warp and black began to surround their oblivious brother.
''WHAT'S GOING ON?'' Raph yelled as a high wind began to pick up for them.
''THERE'S DARK ENERGY NEAR BY'' Leo shouted back. ''IT'S SURROUNDING DONNIE!''
''WHY?'' Mikey called in confusion. ''IS THAT GUY BACK?''
Donnie shivered suddenly as an uneasy feeling tickled the back of his neck. He stood up and pulled out his Bo, he looked around before spotting a familiar shadow on a nearby roof.
''WE NEED TO WAKE UP'' Leo commanded. ''HEAD TOWARDS YOUR BODYS AND FOCUS ON THEM''
They did as they were told just as the black energy consumed Donatello.
''He's back'' Don gasped. ''I can't believe it''
''I told you they would slip up'' The shadow sung as he headed towards their rooftop. ''I told you that you shouldn't rely on them. Now you're mine''
Donnie gulped as the shadow landed before him.
''SHOW ME WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE!'' He growled as he struck the strange man.
''Not yet my pet'' The man laughed. ''You will see once you belong to me''
Donnie tried to fight back but the man was strong, he was knocked to the ground with the man standing over him.
''I never wanted to hurt you but if you fight me I'll have no choice but to use force'' He nodded, a black bag made of shadow appeared in his hand as rope made of shadow tied itself around Donnie.
Donnie struggled against it but it was no use.
''No fighing now'' The man smiled as the bag came closer to the poor turtle.
''GUYS!'' Donnie yelped. He felt terrified, was this the end? Had the shadow man finally won? ''HELP!''
Just before the bag could consume him three turtles knocked into the man's side causing him to fall, with his focus broken the rope and the bag evaporated.
Donnie sat up to see his three brothers pushing the shadow man away, he felt like he could cry with relief.
His brothers had saved him and he no longer had to worry about never seeing them again.
But the man was strong and proving difficult to defeat.
Donnie watched with exhaustion as his brothers tried to defend him, the shadow man glanced his way and threw a ball of shadow at him. He felt it hit him in the head and he knew no more.
