Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in so long! I had so much on my plate it was kind of ridiculous...
Enjoy this chapter!
There is a very big plot twist(s) in this chapter!
Involving Donnie, Raph and Leo...
Sorry, Mikey fans! You know I wanted to write about him... *cries*
Leo hurried into his room as soon as Jackson and Cameron left. He sat down on his bed, head in his hands. He glanced at his katanas in the corner. Slowly, he stood up and grabbed one of them. He looked down at his cut and battered hands.
I know I shouldn't be doing this…
Without a moment of hesitation, he plunged the katana into his hand, slicing right through it. The pain was a relief. It let out his emotions. It kept him from going crazy.
Like Mikey.
Leo grabbed a cloth and wrapped it around his bleeding wound. He didn't know why Mikey was always so… insane.
I suppose Mikey's way of letting out his feelings is screaming out at night…
It always happened. He would be awakened from a nightmare by Mikey's hysterical screaming. Later he would thank Mikey for waking him up.
Leo laid down in bed and decided to get some sleep before Mikey went to bed. He was always tired nowadays.
His thoughts slowly dulled, and his eyes closed.
Leo was walking into Donnie's lab. He saw Donnie's dead form on the ground. He saw Mikey smiling and laughing with his eyes gone. He saw Raph stand up and slice himself with his sais. Raph dropped to the ground, as motionless as Donnie. He ran forward, screaming their names. But, no. They were dead. And Mikey was broken.
He turned to Mikey and hugged him. All he got in response was a scream.
"Mikey…" He whispered, tears falling down his cheeks, "I… I love you…"
With a cry, Leo woke up from the memory. After a moment, the grief and sadness slowly faded. The memory did not. It stayed in his mind, begging for attention.
I will not give it attention.
His gasps of breath turned into slow, even ones. His heartbeat slowed, and he relaxed. The memory faded out, as did the rest of the grief and sadness. His shoulders slumped in relief.
Ugh, I won't be able to get to sleep now. Guess I'll just have a shower.
Another though came to mind, and he gulped, grief and pain almost overcoming him.
I haven't gone there in years.
Leo made up his mind. Walking to Raph's room, he gently opened the door and saw his brother's grave on the floor. He sat down in front of it and started to cry, letting out all of his pains flow out with the tears.
"Raph," He choked out, the tears blurring his vision, "H-Hey, Raph. I haven't been here in a while, have I? I'm sorry."
He looked at the ground, guilt overwhelming him.
"Well…" He managed to stop his crying, "There are these two new guys. Cameron and Jackson. And… how can they be so similar? I mean, Cameron is just like Donnie. Jackson is just like you. It's like… you've been reincarnated or something."
He stood up, smiling at his brother's grave, wiping away the tears.
"Don't worry…" He whispered, "They will never be you or Donnie."
With that, he walked out of the room and into Donnie's one, once again crying in front of his brother's grave.
They're my brothers.
Leo walked out of the room, wiping away his tears.
I've been crying too much.
He walked into the kitchen to get a cup of water. The tears made his head pound and they made him ache for something to drink.
He grabbed a cup of water and filled it up, gratefully gulping it down. The relief he felt when he finished the cup was phenomenal.
That feels better.
His headache still wasn't gone. In fact, it just seemed to be getting worse…
Leo winced and clutched his head, trying to squeeze out the pain. But it just kept getting worse.
He cried out in agony, the headache giving him more pain by the moment.
Too much… it's all too much!
With a final scream, the headache fell away, and his mind expanded like a balloon being filled up. He could feel all the minds. All the little pinpricks of light. His eyes looked in the direction of Raph's room.
There was a light. So dim he could barely see it, but there was a light. He looked at Donnie's room. It was the same. A dim light.
And somehow he knew his brothers weren't dead.
Haha, yep! Told you there was going to be a plot twist!
