~Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you,
And you still won't hear me.~

"How could you Leo?" Raph snared and threw another punch on the helpless turtle. Leo curled into a ball, trying to defend himself but nothing worked. His younger brother kept hitting and kicking him.

"P-Please I'm sorry" Leo cried out and curled more into a ball. Covering his ears with his hands. He couldn't stand all the comments. His brothers shouting at him, yelling names, accusing him. Failure, screw-up, worst leader. All kinds of comments were made.

"You let us down dude" Mikey snared with a hollow voice. Slowly the fire started to engulf him. Burning his flesh and eating its way through his gender skin. And he screamed. He screamed for Leo. Begging to be saved from the pain. And he stood there. Too hurt to even move. Beaten by his brothers he found himself nailed to the ground.

Every movement hurt and at the same time Mikey was burning in front of him. Yelling and crying for his oldest brother to save him. But he couldn't. "Leo!" A last desperate cry of help escaped his throat before he collapsed and then he was gone. Leo was frozen in place. Tears stinging in his eyes.

"Y-You killed him Leo. You….you k-killed my only little brother" Donnie screamed and took a step forwards. Suddenly a dark figure appeared in front of him. Grabbing Donnie by the throat. He gave a strangled cry as he was hosted up in the air and his eyes widened.

"Leo h-help" He cried out as his brown eyes searched for Leo's eyes. Leo bit his lip and tried to sit up. Trying to ignore his own pain but he found himself unable to do so. And when he looked down he saw he was tied to the ground with purple bandanas. Donnie's bandana.

His eyes found Donnie's again. His head was getting blue and he was desperately trying to break free. His mouth continuously opened itself, trying to get in the precious oxygen. But he got none. "help" Was his last word before he went limp. His chest was still rising but barely. The dark figure folded his arm around Donnie's head and snapped it.

Leo screamed as the horrific sound of Donnie's neck snapping echoed through the room and Donnie fell on the ground. Lifelessly.

Suddenly white smoke began to show. Encircling Leo and the dark figure. There was an evil laugh and Leo widened his eyes when he recognized the laughter. The figure turned around and Leo froze when he saw the green eyes of his brother.

"Ya failed him Leo. Ya killed yer brother. My brother!" Raph snared and glanced towards him. The bandanas restraining him disappeared and he shakily stood up. Looking his younger brother in the eyes. This couldn't be true. His two youngest brothers were dead and Raph was blaming him. He failed him, he failed Donnie, he failed Mikey.

"N-no. I… you.." He stuttered. Thoughts were racing through his head but none managed to come out. He felt himself paralyzed as slowly the white smoke continued to encircle him.

"Ya failed use Leo! What would Splinter think, and Casey or April? It's yer fault Mikey and Donnie are dead! Yer a horrible leader Leo. I hate you!" Raph screamed. The smoke continued to encircle them, coming closer and closer to his older brother.

"I hate you Leo." Raph whispered and then turned around. Leo wanted to open his mouth, stop his brother from walking into the smoke but he was too late and Raph ran into the smoke. An icy scream erupted from Raph's throat and then there was nothing. Leo fell to his knees. They were dead. They were all dead and it was his fault.

He was useless. They counted on him and he failed them. He buried his face in his hands and sobbed. His sobbed over his brothers, Raph, Donnie and Mikey. And slowly but surely the smoke continued to enclose on him. Eventually surrounding him with darkness.

TMNT

He just sat there. His body was trembling but he ignored it. The only thing he could think of was the pain in his heart. The price of failure. He had failed. He failed the guys. He was supposed to be the leader and he had failed them.

They were hurt, broken and in pain. And he wasn't there to help. He could do nothing about it. They could just hurt his brothers and he had no way to stop them.

He had to watch Raph getting tortured and both Mikey and Donnie were taken away from him. He knew Raph should be terrified. It wasn't often any of them would hide in their shells. They could do it, they all knew they could but for it to actually happen was rare.

And the fact Raph was hiding concerned him. And it made him realize he had failed as leader. Raph counted on him. He was supposed to be the leader and he had failed him. He had failed them.

He hadn't seen what happened to Donnie but from the way he looked he could already guess. He was raped. Bound, strapped and then raped. Until the point he was completely useless. His biggest fear, Not having control. And what was a better way than to rape someone? It was perfectly known that these victims had the feeling they should've done something. Like they allowed it and it was their fault.

He had really no idea what has happened to Mikey. The only time he had seen his little brother was after the first day. When he was branded and forced to wear a collar. The next time he had seen him his hands were taped and he was shaking like a leaf. Obviously he has been crying. And none of them were there to comfort him. And again he had failed as a leader.

It had been 12 hours since they were rescued. Time seemed to go so slow. Every minute, every second was longer than the previous one. He didn't dare to go out of his room. He couldn't possibly face his family again. He was a screw-up, he had failed his family.

There was a soft knock on his door before the door was carefully opened. "Leo?" Slowly April's face appeared in the door opening. Light shined through the opening and Leo had to blink several times to adjust to the bright light.

"Oh no, Leo" April whispered when she saw that Leo's bruised body was shaking from the pain. Leo took a deep breath, ignoring the stabbing pain it caused him and looked away. "Leo you can't sit up yet, you are still hurt" April reasoned and rushed over to the injured turtle. Trying to lay him down. But before she could do so Leo pushed her away gently.

He didn't want to lay down. He deserved the pain that was coursing through him. He didn't deserve to rest. Not after he had failed his brother. But April obviously had other plans.

"Come on Leo, you have to lay down." April begged and tried to push Leo onto his bed but again Leo refused to. April backed down slightly seeing the look on Leo's face. "What's wrong Leo?" She whispered and sat down next to him and wrapped an arm around him. This time Leo didn't push her away but just continued to stare in front of him.

Leo was shaking in her arms and she instantly drew him something closer, trying to warm him slightly.

"How… are the others?" Leo asked hesitantly after a few seconds. April blinked a few times and looked to Leo. He was still staring in front of him and his eyes were still lost and full of hurt. Not physically, but mentally.

"Mikey is physically fine but he still wears that collar, but we're trying to find something to get it off. Donnie is very distressed and is… well….sore" April hesitated slightly. She didn't want to say anything about Donnie's private stuff but the nod from Leo indicated he understood. "Raph is out of his shell though. He isn't hurt too bad but… he attacked Casey and Sensei"

Leo's eyes widened when he heard what happened. "Why would he…?" He started and bit his lip. Memories of Raph being strapped onto the table. Screaming and begging for them to stop hurting him. His throat hoarse from all the screaming and his wrists bleeding from all the struggling.

"I really don't know Leo. I think he was…scared" April confessed with a sigh. It hurt her to think like that. Raph was never scared. Maybe for cockroaches but even then he wouldn't attack his friends or his own father. Never.

"What am I supposed to do April? Are we ever going to be okay again?" Leo whispered and a few tears escaped his eyes.

"I don't know Leo" April answered truthfully and cradled Leo somewhat closer. Leo responded by nuzzling his face into April's neck. Soon Leo was crying in April's embrace while she was slowly rubbing Leo's shell to comfort him. "I really don't know Leo"

This is just as long as my most of my chapters but I really feel Leo is barely in this :/

Next time I planned to re-unite them. Who would you like to see? ^^

Any suggestions or something I have to include, just say it.

And reviews are highly appreciated.

'till next chapter :D
