"Slash's Captive" A Raphael X Reader Short Story (TMNT 2012)

-Rescue-

          ~Y/N's View~

       You come out of the void of your unconscious mind only to choke on every breath you heave in.

Each time you inhale air it is instantaneous, making your already sore throat sting and it doesn't feel the least bit comfortable.

Right away you know you're still alive otherwise you wouldn't be breathing or feeling anything.

You open your right eyelid and can't tell your body is wet as the cold temperature of the water has left you numb specifically in your hands.

They were tightly bound behind your back by ropes for you have no idea how long causing the circulation in them to decrease slowly over time but not entirely.

Your fingers are discolored while they tingle in poor muscle strength as a pins and needles senation is on your fingertips.

You almost forget to breathe, a blurry green blob with a red stripe across it's eyes looks directly at you.

Even though your vision is fuzzy you know it is the face of Raphael.

"Don't scare me like that, I thought I lost ya."  He says whilst his emerald gaze scans your injured form.

Your breathing escalates in a rapid rate before panic settles inside of you.

You hardly notice that your lower lip is trembling as the thought of Slashs' last words penetrates your mind.

"If you get past me and save your girlfriend I might consider the offer."

You didn't want Raph to save you from going into the light at the end of the tunnel in your once unconscious state of mind because you fear that baring witness to his death would be too much for you to handle.

Now the realization of Slashs' plan to get revenge on your boyfriend could very well be coming to fruition.

Then the expected happens, Slash interferes in your reunion with Raph and strikes him with a mace.

The attack came as no surprise to you for you have known for quite some time that your torturer is going to do everything in his power to achieve his goal.

Water slides out of the corner of your eye, it drips down your nose and you allow your head to fall limp on the left side.

You are helpless while you watch Raph gets flown backwards.

Your only hope was that Slash would finish you off before he got his revenge but now it is lost.

You close your unharmed eye as you except your fate which will come after he kills Raph.

"Leave our brother alone!"

"Booyakasha!"

The battle cries of your terrapin friends are legible to make out.

A sharp and resonant sound enters your eardrums as it mutes the grunts of the turtles while they fight Slash.

The voices leave you stifled.

A heavy dizziness makes your head spin as your whole body tremors under the side effects of a panic attack.

You keep your gaze focused on Donatello who is coming towards you.

All you could picture is Slash ending his life as a sharp pain develops in your chest, you feel you will die at any given second while your breaths come out sounding like you just ran a marathon.

"Y/n listen, you are having a panic attack."

The ringing in your ears drowns out the words in your mutant friends' statement, more than anything you want your F\R (Favorite Relative) beside you.
