Creep
Chapter 15
The three turtles came back from the dining room feeling relieved. They had made it through lunch without anything bad happening.
They arrived at their cell door to hear scared murmuring coming from the other side.
''Donnie?'' Leo frowned as he opened the door, Donnie was asleep at the back with a fearful expression.
''N-No… Please… Stop'' Donnie shook his head, ''Leave them… don't…''
They knelt near him and decided they'd better wake him up.
''NO!'' Donnie yelped as he shot up, he looked at his brothers and threw himself on them. ''Oh god… Oh god…''
''It's ok bro'' Raph soothed. ''It was just a dream''
''It wasn't just a dream'' Donnie breathed. ''Some of it was real''
His brothers frowned at him in confusion.
''I dreamt about him taking you three to the dining room for lunch… but… he…'' Donnie shuddered. Leo and Raph understood.
''He what?'' Mikey asked worriedly. ''What did he do?''
''Doesn't matter'' Donnie shook his head but hugged Mikey. ''You guys are fine… It didn't happen''
Leo looked over his three brothers and had an idea, he wasn't going to take this anymore!
''Guys'' Leo announced, ''Today is the end''
They all looked at him. Raph grinned knowing what his brother was thinking.
Mikey and Donnie looked a little confused.
''We are going to explore the rest of this castle and we are not coming back to this part again'' Leo nodded. ''We are fighting back and getting out of here''
The brothers nodded and stood up.
Leo, Raph and Mikey threw off their head bands before leading Don out of the cell.
''We went right last time to go to those rooms'' Leo said as they all remembered the tea party. ''So let's try left?''
''But the dining room is to the left'' Mikey frowned. ''He might still be there''
''The dining room door is always closed'' Leo corrected, ''If we hurry past it silently we'll be fine''
Leo led the brothers down the left corridor, they passed the dining room door quickly before sprinting away and around the corner.
''Ok'' Leo sighed. ''The shadow device thing should be around here somewhere… check all the rooms''
''Hai'' The brothers nodded before splitting up and looking around.
There were only a few rooms they could check and none of them had the shadow device, Leo led them further into the corridor only to find their path blocked by a wall of shadow.
''What the-?'' Leo frowned as he and his brothers crept closer.
''What is it?'' Raph whispered.
''It's shadow… do you think the shadow device is behind it?'' Donnie asked hopefully.
''I wonder if we should touch it'' Mikey suddenly smiled. ''I'm gonna touch it''
He crept forward until he was just in front of it, his brothers stayed just behind him. He lifted his hand carefully and gently touched the wall.
Instantly it evaporated with a gust of wind to reveal outside!
''Yikes!'' Mikey squeaked as he jumped back to join his brothers, they gasped.
They could see the countryside but in front of them was a thin corridor with more doors, part of it had fallen apart and was missing the entire left wall.
''That'll be where he keeps the devices'' Leo nodded, ''He wouldn't put them anywhere easy''
''Looks dangerous'' Raph peeked over the edge and recoiled slightly. ''And there's nothing between us and the ground''
They all looked down at the drop and grimaced.
''We have to move on'' Leo gulped. ''I'll go first''
He backed up before jumping the gap, he landed lightly and put his shell against the wall before moving up.
''There's not a lot of space to stand'' Leo called. ''Be careful guys, one at a time''
The younger brothers looked at one another sceptically.
''I'm not sure this is a good idea'' Donnie winced. He looked at his brothers before sighing. ''But if it gets us out of here quicker then…''
He took a deep breath and jumped over the gap to join Leo, he landed skilfully and moved up with Leo.
''C'mon guys'' Mikey backed away, ''Just jump back over… I really don't feel good about this''
Raph ran past him and jumped over the gap, they all moved up and looked at Mikey expectantly.
''I hate you guys'' Mikey muttered before jumping over the gap and joining them. ''Happy now?''
They smirked at him before shuffling through the corridor to the first door. Leo tried to grab the handle and frowned in confusion when he couldn't, he inspected the door before turning to his brothers.
''It's fake…'' He looked back at the door again, ''It's been painted on''
''That's weird'' Mikey shuddered. ''I told you this wasn't a good idea! Who paints walls to look like doors!''
''Freaks like that creep I guess'' Raph shrugged as they continued on.
Each of the doors they went to were fake, they were starting to worry that they had risked their lives for nothing. Then they reach the last door before it turned into a proper corridor.
''This one's real!'' Leo grinned. ''Finally''
''Don't get too excited.'' Donnie frowned. ''You haven't opened it yet.''
Leo yanked the door open and slipped into the room with his brothers close behind, Mikey shut the door and turned to face the room.
''Woah'' He gasped in wonder.
The room looked like an old timey alchemist's workshop. There were shelves all over the walls filled with old books and vials of potions, there was an old table with dusty equipment on it.
Donnie looked over it in shock.
''What is this place?'' He asked. ''Why does the creep need it?''
''Hey!'' Mikey called, he was at the middle shelf closest to the door. ''I found a weird thing… it might be their shadow device''
The other three brothers joined him and inspected the metal object.
''It looks like you clip it onto a belt'' Leo nodded.
''It could be it'' Raph picked it up before handing it to Donnie, ''What do ya think Brainiac?''
Donnie looked it over before noticing two small buttons, he pressed the top one and gasped as shadow spilt out of the device and wrapped around him.
''DONNIE!'' They brothers yelped in fear for him but gasped when they saw their brother's form. It was like he was made of shadow.
''This is weird'' Donnie looked down at himself, ''And kinda cold'' He thought about floating and weirdly he started hovering in the air.
He thought about appearing next to the table.
His brothers gasped as he disappeared and reappeared next to the table.
''Dude'' Mkey grinned, ''How are you doing that?''
''Through thought'' Donnie replied as he disappeared and reappeared next to his brothers. He pressed the second button and returned back to himself again with the shadow back in the device.
''That was cool!'' Mikey cheered. Raph and Leo smiled as Donnie seemed to share Mikey's excitement.
Suddenly the door slammed open and a large shadowy figure stood in the doorway. The four turtles backed away further into the room until their shells hit the table.
''You shouldn't be here'' He boomed in a deep voice. ''Master can't stop me having fun with you now''
He edged towards them.
The four brothers had never felt more afraid and exposed, they had no way of defending themselves! They hugged each other and coward on the floor.
''This is it bros'' Mikey squeaked. Raph squeezed his baby brother tightly, Leo hugged the three brothers close to his chest and moved so his shell was facing the monster, this was his last attempt at shielding and protecting his brothers.
''NO!'' A familiar, Japanese accented voice yelled. They heard the sound of metal impaling flesh and cracking bone before hearing a dull thump.
Raph, Donnie and Mikey continued to cower against Leo but the eldest turtle looked round at the new threat just to discover there was no threat at all.
Just a cloaked figure standing over the shadow monster's dead body. Leo knew who he was.
''Father?''
