A/N: Here's chapter 2. Not sure how happy I am with it, but go easy on me, I've never written a long story before! *grabs Leonardo and hides behind him* I have a ninja turtle and I know how to use him!
Don't own any TMNT, but a girl can dream...;)
Jagged
Donnie's mind returned to the present with a start.
He was standing in his lab back at the lair. He gazed down at his hands; he was at a loss of what to do.
He had failed to save his big brother. He felt his eyes burn with tears and his vision became blurred. Raphael was gone and in his logical mind Donnie knew hem could never bring him back.
I was supposed to be the one, Donnie thought in agony. Not Raph!
"He wasn't supposed to die!" the purple masked turtle cried out in rage.
"It was supposed to be me!" he screamed as he overturned his desk causing a loud crash to echo through the eerily quiet lair.
Leonardo, who had been meditating in the dojo, heard Donnie's screams followed by a loud crash and quickly ran to his brother's lab.
He gasped at the sight now before him. Donnie was in the midst of tearing apart his lab with tears streaming down his face.
Leo rushed forward and seized his brother's arms before he could wreak further havoc upon his prized computer.
"Donnie stop!" he shouted.
Donnie turned his gaze on Leo, eyes full of immense pain.
"It was supposed to be me, not Raph!" He shouted, struggling in Leonardo's grasp.
"That katana stroke was aimed at me! Why did he have to jump in front of it! Why did he have to be the hero!" Donnie cried, angrily.
Leonardo turned Donnie to face him. Calm blue eyes met watery, hurt brown ones.
"I know Donnie. I know."Leo responded as he felt his own eyes feel with tears. "I miss him too. It won't be the same but we'll make it."
The two turtles knelt in the lab, holding on to each other as their hearts broke. That katana had left a jagged hole in the hearts of the remaining turtles, one that could only heal with time.
They would not be the same, but they would endure.
