What's Going On Here?
-Back at the Lair- Donatello's POV
"LEEEEOOOO!"
I awoke by the sound of my younger brother's screaming. Startled I let out a yelp and nearly fell out of my bed. I groaned as Mikey called for Leo again, but something seemed off, as if something bad has happened while I was asleep. My suspicions were correct when Mikey called out again and this time I could hear the desperation in his voice. I could hear Mikey running up the stairs and heard the burst of a door opening. I swear, if he breaks the door I'm not going to be the one to fix it. I quickly went out of my room and went to where Leo's room was and found Mikey just staring into the room. I walked closer, worry spreading through me.
"Mikey?" I called, trying to get my younger brother to look at me at least. No response back.
"Mikey?" I called again but a little louder. The closer I got to him the more I could hear him saying something.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…"
Mikey was acting unusual and I wanted to know what was wrong with my brother.
"Mikey? Michelangelo! Look at me!" Mikey slowly turned his head to me and what I saw was something I never expected to see on my happy brother's face. His eyes holded so much sadness and…guilt? Why would Mikey be guilty? Does it have something to do with Leo? That would explain why he was calling out to him, but what was wrong? Did something happen to Leo? If yes, then what?
"I didn't mean to…" I blinked and looked at my brother. So he did do something, but what is it that he did exactly?
"What do you mean Mikey? What did you do?"
"It was my fault. Mine, MINE, MINE!" I jumped back a little then I heard heavy footsteps coming up. Probably to see what all the noise is about I thought.
Raphael's POV
"LEEEEOOOO!"
Great, I just walk in the lair to hear my baby bro screaming for Fearless. Although I thought I heard something in that scream, but I can't quite place it, it probably doesn't involve me. I slowly walked towards the couch when I saw that Donnie's lab's light was off. Leo or Mikey probably got him to go to bed. Mikey calls for Leo again but Leo doesn't respond. That grabs my attention and so does that strange feeling that seems to have grown more from the first time. There was a blur of green going up the stairs then I hear a door slamming open. Must be Mikey going to Leo's room to see why he's not answering. There was another door opening, but more gently. Leave it up to Don to handle the out of control brother cause hey, better him than me. I turn on the TV but put the volume low. Nothing like the rest of the night watching a wrestle match I thought with a smirk. Upstairs I heard Don talking to Mikey, but I couldn't hear what Don was talking about and Mikey's voice I couldn't hear at all.
"Mine, MINE, MINE!" Is all I hear from Mikey, but he sounded…nothing that my bro Mikey should sound like. I turned off the TV and rushed up the stairs. I was shocked at what I saw. Don and Mikey was by Leo's bedroom door. Don looks like he's having a heart attack and shock at the same while Mikey was…crying? Mikey never cries like the way he's crying now. He looks as if the whole world died and he is the only survivor, I mean I would be like that too if that actually happened. Don is still in the same position, so I approach Mikey slowly.
Donatello's POV
How come I feel like I'm having a heart attack and shock at the same time? I didn't know that was possible. Hey look, it's Raph. Why is he staring at me strangely? Oh well…I still feel like I'm having a heart attack and shock at the same.
Back to Raphael's POV
"Mike? Want to tell big brother Raphael what's wrong?" I say as nicely as I can which is hard when your genius brother is staring at you without moving like he's a deer in headlights and your baby bro seems to be cutting himself from the world.
Mikey slowly raises his hand and points into Leo's room. Confused, I look into Leo's room to see Leo himself asleep in his bed. His shell was facing me so I couldn't see his face.
"He's just asleep Mikey; see nothing is wrong with him." Mikey shakes his head and says something that surprises me.
"I poured it in the muffin which was for you and I remembered what the effects were after Leo ate the muffin which was for you and now he's going to be like that forever." I just stared at him as all I understood from that was that Mikey made a muffin and poured a liquid in it to make someone go to sleep forever and it was for me, but Leo took it instead not knowing of the danger ahead.
My face was burning red of anger because not only did he do something to Fearless, but mostly because that was for ME, but after seeing his face that held so much sadness and guilt and quickly calmed myself down. Right now Mikey needed comfort and then we can see what we can do to help Leo.
Michelangelo's POV
"LEEEEOOOO!"
I called out to my brother as loud as I can, hoping he hasn't already gone to sleep. I can't believe I have done this, sure it was for Raph, but even now I think it wasn't a good idea if I gave it to Raph or not. I have to keep trying though so I called Leo again. I'm pretty sure I awoken Donnie by the soft yelp I heard upstairs and I know Raph just came home. As my last call stopped echoing around the lair I bolted upstairs and slammed open the door to Leo's room to find Leo asleep in his bed. I could only stared in horror at Leo's body on his bed. Donnie came out of his room. He was trying to get my attention, but I wouldn't respond back. I kept staring at Leo.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no…" I realized I was whispering this to myself, though with how close Don is I think he hears it.
"Mikey? Michelangelo! Look at me!" I did, slowly though because it was hard not to look away at what I have done to my older brother.
"I didn't mean to…" I say softly.
"What do you mean Mikey? What did you do?"
"It was my fault. Mine, MINE, MINE!" I yelled at him. I heard footsteps then coming up the stairs. Just what I needed…Raph. He was surprised, I can tell.
"Mike? Want to tell big brother Raphael what's wrong?" I couldn't so I just pointed into Leo's room at Leo's body. Raph looked in and looked at me in confusion. "He's just asleep Mikey; see nothing is wrong with him." I shook my head no and confessed what was going on.
"I poured it in the muffin which was for you and I remembered what the effects were after Leo ate the muffin which was for you and now he's going to be like that forever." At least I think it was forever, but I can't be too sure because this was my entire fault in the first place. Raph is mad, but then he calmed down and gave me a small hug for comfort. Donnie (now out of his deer in headlights pose) came over and gave me a hug as well. I know that we can cure Leo somehow, but I can't help but wonder what he is going through right now. I mean, its suppose to give you really funny dreams right, right?
