A/N: YAY! I'm so glad people liked the last chapter. I'm thinking two to three more chapters and we'll be done. I'm still not sure who the bad guy in this story is but I guess we'll find out soon enough. But you do get a clue! Enjoy!

I do not own TMNT.

Leo tensed at the sound, and he melted into the shadows, leaning Master Yoshi's sword against the wall and out of sight. He heard faint footsteps in the entrance of the lair, and they slowly got louder. He held his breath as the door to the dojo slowly opened, and the harsh fluorescent light filled the room, revealing only the shadow of the intruder. As the figure stepped inside, he grabbed onto one of the beams in the ceiling and hoisted himself to the rafters. The figure was holding a short sword and clothed in black, but Leo couldn't tell if it was a Foot soldier or not. The figure was short and slender, so Leo presumed it was a girl. He silently made his way to the wall near the door and flipped on the light. The figure spun around, pulling out another short sword. Leo let go of his hold on the girder and fell gracefully to the ground, withdrawing a katana and raising it defensively.

"Leo?" The girl whispered. A mask covered her face and prevented Leo from determining who it was, but the voice sounded familiar.

"Who are you?" He growled, ready to draw his second blade.

The figure stepped closer, but stopped and removed her mask when Leo growled. Leo stepped back in surprise when he saw her face.

"Sam?" The girl stepped closer. A flare of pain flashed through Leo and he stepped back, but he lowered his sword. "What are you doing here?"

"Leo, you have to listen to me." She started, reaching out to touch his arm. He pulled back and glared at her.

"You need to go, Sam. I don't want you here, and I know you don't want to be either." He said harshly. He grimaced as her saw her; She looked the same as the last time he had seen her. Her dark brown hair was slightly longer and fell past her shoulders. Her skin was a pale peach and light freckles dusted her face. The only difference he noted was the fear in her green eyes, the fear he had put there, because of what he had done. "Just go." He whispered as he turned away from her and started to walk towards the door.

"No, Leo. You have to listen to me." She grabbed his arm and Leo spun around.

"I said no, Sam. It's not a good time. I need you to leave." He shook her hold and opened the door, but he stopped when she spoke again.

"Why? So you can kill yourself and join your family?" She sneered. A small, pained smile crossed her mouth when he turned to face her again. Leo stepped closer to her and stared into her eyes, searching for honesty and noting the familiar fire in them.

"What are you talking about?" He hissed. "I haven't seen you since that night and now you think you know everything that's happening? Well you have no clue."

"I know your whole family is gone. Donnie killed himself about an hour ago." She whispered sadly.

The reminder of the recent death sent Leo over the edge. He pulled back from her, the anger flaring in his chest and the need to hurt something overwhelming his senses. He ran to the weight rack and shoved it over in frustration*. After he knocked over several weapon racks, he ran to the practice dummy and sliced through it in one swipe. He barely heard Sam screaming his name over the pounding in his ears. He furiously tore the leather to shreds. Once there were no more than shreds of the trashed bag, he threw his swords to the practice target. Blind anger tinted his vision red, and he barely acknowledged that he was punching the wall until Sam appeared in front of him. His right hand was drawn back, ready to break into the brick, but the sight of the girl melted his anger and he dropped his hand. He saw no fear at being in the path of his fist, he saw only concern and worry which sent him crumbling to the floor, sobbing. Warm arms surrounded him and he soon found himself lying in Sam's lap, yelling and crying, asking her why. Sam said nothing; she simply stroked the crest of his head and rocked slightly. Leo's sobs eventually turned to soft whimpering and Sam began to hum. The scrubbed raw feeling throughout Leo's whole body was terrifying. He felt naked and vulnerable, like his armor had been stripped away, his wall that had protected him at least partially from the realization that he was alone had crumbled. He felt weak and cold, but feeling Sam's arms around him again somehow comforted him. Minutes of nothing but Leo's shaky breathing and Sam's soft humming passed, creating an eternity that left Leo feeling numb and tired. He closed his eyes and slowly built the energy to sit up. Sam let him, but she still kept a hand on his arm, as if to just assure him that she wasn't leaving.

"How…how did you know?" He croaked.

A soft smile crossed her face and she moved closer. "Leo, it's not real. I don't have much time before he finds me, but your brothers should be close. Leo you have to trust me."

Leo stared at her like she was crazy. "Sam, what the shell are you talking about?"

"Leo, you're just gonna have to trust me. This isn't real. You got captured and we haven't been able to find you till now. You just have to focus. You might be able to break free."

"Sam, what the shell?" Leo barked. Sam removed her hand from his arm and backed away.

"Leo, you're in a virtual reality. He's had you trapped in here. If you die in here you die out there. He's been trying to get you to commit suicide." Sam stood up and swayed slightly. Leo shot up and reached to steady her, but his hand went through her arm, as if she wasn't there.

"Dammit," she hissed. "Don said I didn't have much time and you had to go off and throw a tantrum."

"Sam, what's going on?" Leo yelled over her mumbling. "Sam!"

"Leo!" she cried as she began to fade. Leo could see the back wall through her, as if she were a transparent hologram. Tears formed in her eyes and Leo stepped closer. She rested what was left of her hand on his shoulder. "Leo, please, just don't do anything for the next hour. Just meditate. Focus on your family."

"But.." he started.

"You've heard their voices. Just focus on them, and trust me!" She screamed as she disappeared.

He fell to his knees, still reaching out to where she had been standing. Tears dripped down his face, and he dropped his head in defeat.

"How can I trust someone that doesn't trust me anymore?" He whispered to the ground
