Chapter twenty-three
The blue clad terrapin stood by, watching his little brother insert another IV drip as Brenna was suffering from dehydration. Covering her naked body with the sheet, properly while he examine the scars over her shoulders—confusedly blinked and glared with confusion as he couldn't scientifically explain how the wound on her right shoulder had healed so quickly then he discovered a fresh wound. Gently opened the wound further to see what was the cause—quickly grabbed a pair of miniature forceps, tried his best to gently insert the surgical utensil within and soon discovered a bullet was the cause of the blood loss.
"Everything alright?" Leo asked. "This wound is fresh—she was recently shot." Don answered. "Are you sure?" Leo replied. The purple clad terrapin nodded, continued surgically dug within the wound then finally pulled the bullet out of her shoulder.
Dropping the bullet in the bowl beside him, grabbed the needle and stitches then begun stitching the wound close and bandage her shoulder. "That should do it." Don stated, cleaning his hands. "Who shot her?" Leo wondered. "I don't know—but only one way to find out is to examine this bullet then punish those who did it." Don answered, switching the light off and left the room as his brother followed.
...Meanwhile—Raph's bedroom—dreamscape...
The red clad terrapin laid in his hammock, immediately fell asleep when he hit the pillow. He begun dreaming about killing, blood and most frightening of all—feasting upon flesh. Human flesh.
Then after having his fill, leaping across the rooftops until reached the hill outside the city—standing tall and howled to the full white moon. Waking up with a cold sweat and panted, breathlessly. Walking to the door, opened it and before he looked up—properly saw who was standing on the other side of the door. He was grabbed, viciously by a large clawed hand.
Trying to fight and break free from the clawed grasped as he widely opened his eyes and glared at the monster, holding him by his throat. His nostrils were filled with the foul stench of blood. "Time to die—Raphael." The were-terrapin snarled.
"You first—fur ball." Raph gaspily stated. "No, you first." The were-terrapin replied. "Who are you?" Raph demanded, rasply. The were-terrapin leaned closer towards Raphael's facial space, revealing his face in the light and replied. "What's wrong? Don't ya recognise yarself?"
Raph's eyes widen, confusedly glared and continued to attempt his best to break free but it wasn't any use—the beast tightened his grip and prepped himself, opened his mouth—baring the sharp white monstrous teeth.
"Good knowing ya, Raphael!" the were-terrapin said then leaned in, driving his sharp mouthful teeth into his prey.
...end of dreamscape...
Raph woke up, in a cold sweat and abruptly cheeked out his door—sighing with relief. Closed the door again, and leaned against it then slid until he sat on the floor—breathlessly sighed as he suddenly felt his muscles begun to tighten and his stomach begun change.
Draping both arms around his torso, holding himself as he curled in foetal position—clutched and gritted his teeth together with every agonizing pull and tug.
The elbow, knee pads, belt and bandana tore from his entire terrapin body as he begun to transform into something, he never dreamed of ever becoming—a monster.
Wanting to call out for help but couldn't as the pain was too excruciating to endure, so the red clad terrapin cried out through his thoughts.
'SOMEBODY HELP ME!'
