Chapter 2: So It Begins
So sorry for the freakin slow update people. But it's the second chapter is done now XD XD thanx for your patience and reviews
It was pretty early in the morning. But my worry and concern for Raphael was keeping me awake. Raph has been having nightmares and strange visions for weeks now and I've been starting to wonder if it's changing who he really is. Raph has always been the kind to have a hot-headed and burning personality, but he would never lash out at anyone in such a strange manner. I am suddenly snapped out of my troubled thoughts when I hear a soft knock on my door. "It's open." I say as I turn my gaze back towards the wall as the door cracks open. "Hey Leo?" Mikey says as he slowly opens my door. The stressed and sad-toned voice that called my name makes me immediately jerk my head towards my door where I find my baby brother standing against the door frame."What's wrong Mikey, Did you have a nightmare?" I ask him as get up and approach him and put my large hands on his shaking shoulders. "No, I didn't have a nightmare; I'm just... really worried about Raphie." I look directly in Mikey's beautiful baby-blue eyes, and give him a mournful smile. "I understand Mikey; I'm really worried about him as well." I tell as I rest my head on his shoulder. "I think something is REALLY wrong with Raph, Leo. I'm really s-scared." Mikey explains as he looks down to the floor and starts to sob. I pull Mikey into a close embrace which causes him to wrap his olive green arms around my waist. "Its ok baby brother. I'm really worried for Raph too, and I know we will find a way to help him." I start to nuzzle his cheek and rub the back of his neck. The sobs and cries Mikey was releasing began to tone down as do his firm shaking. The warm embrace I blessed upon my younger brother was broken as I lift his chin so I could meet his soft gaze. I give him a soothing smile, hoping to look more confident than I felt. Mikey shares the same smile as I rub my hand across his soft cheek. "Leo?" Mikey groans as he clenches his hand across his stomach. "What's wrong Mikey?" I question I take my hand off his cheek and stare at his ill like position with a worried tone. "My stomach is cussing at me." Mikey complains as he raises his head to stare into my chocolate brown eyes. A smile spreads across my face and causes me to chuckle at his random statement. "Well ok then, lord-of-the-random, lets go fix some breakfast before everyone wakes up." I laugh as I rub the top of his head before I pass him to leave the room. Mikey smiled from ear to ear as he followed me out of the room.
The silence in the lair was pounding forcefully against my eardrums. The only sounds that could be heard were the small pattering of rodent's feet which was pretty annoying if a person hears it for too long. The walk to the kitchen was filled with awkward silence since it was obvious to see that Mikey and I both couldn't stop thinking about Raph's situation. Once we entered the kitchen, the sight that plagued my eyes makes my heart skip a beat. Raph was seated at the kitchen table with his sweaty head clutched very firmly in his perspired filled hands. Mikey and I stand in absolute shock as we couldn't do more but stand in place. After what seemed to be forever, I finally bring up the courage to move closer to my litte brother. When I get to a close enough range to him, I could perceive every detail on his terrified looking face, as well as unfortunately hearing the horrifying things he was saying to himself. My heart nearly stopped when I heard the first four words struggle to escape from his mouth. "Get...outta...my...head. Help...M...m-" At that point, I couldn't bare to see my little brother in his condition any longer. I lunged out at him and firmly wrap my arms around him. His sharp panting was inconceivable uneven, his eyes were tightly shut, and after a short amount of a time, my shoulder was beginning to get soaked with how much sweat that he was letting off. Raph suddenly throws his head in the air while still tightly clutching the sides of his head and starts to scream bloody murder. "LEAVE ME ALONE! GET OUTTA MY HEAD!" he yanks himself out of my grip and falls to the floor. The grasp on his head get tighter and more firm. Every bit of his face was dripping with perspiration. Donnie and Master Splinter come coursing into the kitchen shortly after they heard Raph screaming. Master Splinter knelt down next to Raph and gently placed a paw on Raph's shoulder. "My son, what is the matter?" Everyone in the room shared the same expression of extensive eyes that showed complete and utter panic and worry. Raph was dangling his head over his knees as he struggled to fight for breath. No words were able to be spoken. Raph kept opening and closing his mouth but no words escaped. He screamed one last time until the room was suddenly filled with painful silence. Raph's mouth was still open, except no other sound escaped his throat. His eyes rolled back in his head and his body went completely limp.
Sorry it's a little bit on the short side, but I will make it up to you guys! :D
