Creep

Chapter 6

''DONNIE!'' The three brothers screamed as Donnie lay still, they watched as the colour drained out of him.

The two sides stopped fighting as the brothers ran to their fallen comrade. They knelt by his side, Leo put his hand on Don's arm but quickly removed it.

''He's freezing…'' he panted. He gulped and checked Don over. ''He's still breathing but its shallow''

''Is he gonna be ok?'' Mikey asked as his eyes shone with tears. Raphael leapt to his feet and faced the shadow man.

''WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!?'' He growled.

''I've merely put him to sleep'' The man laughed. ''He will stay that way until I return to claim him for my own''

''YOU BASTARD!'' Raph snarled and stepped forward.

But the man was evaporating slowly.

''Now now'' He laughed. ''That's not the way to wake him up… You boys need to learn to show love or none of you will ever survive''

The man disappeared and Raph was back kneeling at Donnie's side.

''That asshole'' he muttered. He grabbed Donnie's shoulders and shook him. ''C'mon Donnie… wake up''

''he can't defend himself like this'' Mikey shivered. ''That's why he did it! Now he's gonna be easy to take and he's gonna think we didn't try to help him and he's gonna hate us and-''

''Mikey! Calm down'' Leo soothed, ''there's gotta be a way of waking him up but we need to calm down and focus''

The brothers nodded.

''Now… think… did the guy say anything that may hint at how to wake him up'' Leo frowned. ''Guy with a mouth like that musta let something slip''

''uh…'' Mikey coughed awkwardly, ''He said not to be mean and to… learn how to show love?''

''What? Is this some fairy tale shit?'' Raph grumbled. ''I ain't kissin' him!''

''You're not his true love anyway!'' Mikey mocked before turning serious, ''Maybe we should get April?''

''No'' Leo rolled his eyes. ''he meant love and care for one another''

''We've been trying to protect him this entire time!'' Raph growled irritably. ''What else are we supposed to do?''

They sat and looked down at their cold brother. They just didn't understand what they were supposed to do to save him.

Soon enough it was evening and the three brothers had lost hope.

''I can't do this'' Mikey began to cry and flung himself on his unconscious brother. ''Donnie… Please wake up! Don't do this to us!''

Raph and Leo began to cry too as they each grabbed one of Donnie's hands.

''We need you Donnie'' Leo hiccoughed. ''God… why did this have to happen to you?''

''We can't lose you Donnie… I can't handle losing you!'' Raph leant forward and buried his face into Don's shoulder. ''You're our brother… we're not strong enough to fight him but we'll die if he takes you''

Mikey kissed Donnie's forehead, Leo kissed the back of Don's hand and Raphael kissed Donnie's shoulder.

Suddenly warmth spread over Donnie's skin and his breathing returned to normal but the brothers didn't notice.

They cried for their brother out of worry and love for him.

Donnie's eyes fluttered open and he looked at his three brothers.

He frowned in concern as he felt their tears brush his skin, he felt tired and a little sick. He closed his eyes as he remembered what had happened and how he had lost consciousness, he smiled gently as he pushed himself up a little.

Leo, Raph and Mikey gasped and looked at Donnie.

''L-Love'' Leo stuttered. ''That really was the cure!''

They hugged Donnie fiercely as they tried to stop crying, Donnie hugged them back as tears came to his own eyes.

''I'm so happy to see you guys again'' He breathed. ''I thought that creep was gonna get me but you guys saved me! I was so scared I would never see you guys again''

''But we failed'' Leo pulled away and looked into Donnie's eyes, he cupped his face with both hands. ''We left you alone and took too long to come back, we couldn't stop him from putting you to sleep''

Mikey let out a little cry, Raph gripped Donnie tighter.

''Oh god… we're so sorry Donnie'' Leo kissed Don's forehead and hugged him again. ''We love you''

Mikey and Raph were still too choked up to say anything so they nodded furiously.

''I love you guys too'' Donnie smiled. ''I forgive you so you don't need to feel guilty, you guys can't have known he was gonna show up''

After a few more moments of hugging they released each other and watched the sun set with their shoulders touching.

''Maybe today wasn't so boring after all'' Mikey joked. ''That guy really knows how to fight boredom!''

The other laughed lightly in response.

''He was true to his word though'' Leo frowned, ''he really didn't hurt you when you didn't fight back''

Donnie shuddered slightly.

''I don't care I'm still gonna fight back'' He frowned. ''He's not getting me that easily''

Raph nodded.

''You better believe he's not getting you!'' Raph cracked his knuckles. ''That guy's gonna get his ass kicked when he next shows up''

Leo yawned before noticing Raph was struggling to not do the same thing.

''We haven't slept yet Raph'' He sighed. ''I think we should''

''I can't sleep after all that'' Raph grumbled.

''Well you're going to'' Leo said strictly, he turned to Mikey and Donnie. ''Will you two be ok?''

They nodded and saluted jokingly.

''If anything happens you MUST wake us up. Understood?'' Leo raised an eye ridge.

''yeah! None of that 'I can do this on my own' crap'' Raph nodded as he and Leo lay down under their blankets. ''Wake. Us. Up.''

''We will'' Mikey smiled.

They sighed as the two eldest brothers fell asleep, Mikey leant against Donnie's shell as they stared up at the night sky.

''Donnie'' He sighed. ''What're we gonna do?''

''Not a lot I'm guessing Mike'' Donnie replied lazily. ''There's isn't much we can do at this point''

''This dude isn't gonna give up is he?'' Mikey bowed his head and looked at the concrete.

''Probably not'' Don replied.

''Do you think we'll ever be the same after this?'' Mikey asked worriedly. ''You know… once we've defeated him''

''You mean 'if' we defeat him'' Donne looked over his shoulder at his smaller brother. ''I don't know… Leo and Raph will be more wary, alert and protective of us… I… It'll probably be a while before any of us wanna go topside again''

''Yeah'' Mikey sighed as a gently breeze swept the rooftop. ''It's weird… when we were younger we were so desperate to come up here and now look at us… look where topside got us''

''I guess some things just aren't as good as we imagined'' Donnie frowned as he looked up at the moon.

''Except pizza'' Mikey chuckled. ''Pizza is awesome''

''Man!'' Donnie grinned as he and Mikey lay down together. ''I could really go for a slice! With cheese, chicken, bacon… maybe a little garlic sprinkled over it''

''Shut up'' Mikey playfully punched Don's shoulder. ''You're making me hungry!''

They laughed a little together before falling silent.

''You're my best friend Donnie… you know that right?'' Mikey looked over at Don who was looking straight back with a smile of his own.

''I do Mikey'' He grinned revealing his gap. ''And you're my best friend too''

They grinned before looking back up at the stars.

''Are there any constellations out tonight?'' Mikey asked hopefully.

''yeah'' Donnie nodded.

''Show me them'' Mikey smiled. ''Tell me about them 'til Raphie and Leo wake up''

Donnie smiled before happily pointing out the first constellation he could see. Mikey listened happily as his brother told him all about the different constellations that were out that night and the stories behind them, he had never felt so at peace and happy.

Just him and his best friend relaxing under the stars.

Is that the first happy ending to a chapter for this story? I think it is... Please Review xx
