POV: Donnie 

I heard a knock from my door. I walked over to find Leo waiting in the door way

"You wanted me here?" he said

"Yes come in and sit on the taped spot" I responded, getting the correct equipment. As I came back leo asked

"What is this about?"

"I'm helping you" I said, determined to get rid of Leo's cannibalistic ways. I breathed a sigh and said.

"If you become wild of out of control say so immediately"

"Ok?" he said. I pulled out a turtle and handed it to him.

"Aw!" he said looking at the cute box turtle. I smiled, he was doing so well. Leo gave the small turtle a kiss on the head. Then he hugged the turtle, his eyes closed and his mouth in a smile. I began to talk about the turtle's life until I heard a loud crack. I looked to see the box turtle now dead sitting in Leo's blood slatted hand. I realized he had crushed the poor thing to death. Its shell had cracked in his hands. Leo's eyes opened to pitch blackness, his mouth dripped with saliva. I grabbed the nearest sudateing needle and plunged it into Leo's neck making him pass out as he took a bite of the poor thing.

A week had passed since the last test and Leo was back for another test. My determination has gotten stronger to what Apirl calls a concerning amount. Leo walked in and sat on the now slightly red tape. I set up the needles then with disgust I brought it out. The carcass of the box turtle I had named Millie. It now sits between us as my brother struggles not to eat it. I sit with needles in hand. His pupils began to grow and his mouth poured with saliva. His hand twiched. With the speed that was unexpected by me or the carcass he attacked. First the corpse but not even that could satisfy him. He lunged at me biting the top of my battle shell then passing out from the liquid that I injected. I tried to push him off but his grip was stuck to the battle shell even if he was awake or not.

"Ralph! Mikey!" I shouted trying to get help with the mess that was this room. Chunks of what once was my pet turtle splattered the room. Small pieces of my battle shell lay around me. I sat up trying to get Leo off. Just as I got a good idea of what just happened my two other brothers ran in

"Are you ok-" Ralph cut off looking around at the horror. Mikey screamed at the sight and ran out. Ralph tried to pull Leo off of me

"Be careful with him" I said, concerned that he might be hurt.

"What happened?" Ralph asked, pulling Leo off. I decided to explain as he cleaned and I took care of leo. When I finished he looked at me shocked.

"You trusted a wild beast not to attack when presented with something that makes it attack?"

"Did you just call my brother a wild beast?" I asked rage filling me

"How dare you!" I screamed

"Get out now!" Ralph looked at me for a second then left. I breathed for a second then realized what I had done. I don't know why I felt so much anger over one little title. I didn't mean to be so protective of Leo but I felt that it's my fault he is this way. That's why I can't feel any negative thing about getting harmed if it helps him.



3d POV: the insanity of test after test would drive him farther down this road but still he focused on his brother in blue
