*3rd Person POV*

"We're what?"

"I said, Raphael, that we're having a stealth competition." Y/N said, crossing her arms. "The other day, you said I wasn't good at forrest stealth. I'm going to prove you wrong today," The girl continued, "I've given each of you a bow and some arrows, except the tip of the arrow is a clothed ball with colored powder on it. If you get hit by an arrow, you'll know who shot it at you. If you get hit, you get a punishment. Depending on how many times you get hit, your punishment will either be easy, mild or tough. Leo will be the referee to make sure no one is cheating. You can quit if you want, but you'll be admitting that you're not good at being stealthy and everyone else it better than you. We'll go until there is only one left standing or until it gets dark. The winner doesn't have to do any chores for the next three days."

At this, all of the teens got excited. "No chores for three days? I'm winning this thing!" Casey said confidently. "No way! I'm gonna be the champ!" Raph proclaimed, pointing his thumb to his chest. "We'll see about that." Y/N said, catching their attention. She had a dark look on her face, eyes half lidded and thin smile... all directed at Raph. He shivered.

"April has yellow powder, Mikey: orange powder, Donnie: purple powder, Raph: red powder, Casey: gray powder, and I have white powder. Leo will have blue powder to mark you if he finds you cheating. Leo, count us off?" Y/N explained, turning to the ocean eyed turtle after lining up with everyone else.

Leo nodded and started to call the teens off one by one. "Casey," Said male ran off, and after 5 minutes Leo called the next one. "Raph." But before the red masked turtle could run off, April, Donnie and Mikey simultaneously said: "Good luck." Raph hesitated and looked to Y/N, who was glaring at him through the corner of her eyes. He shivered once again, running into the forrest.

Another five minutes pass, "April." She runs off, five minutes pass. "Donnie," He sprints off, five minutes pass. "Mikey," He also sprints off, five minutes pass. Leo walks and stands next to Y/N who is intensely staring into the forrest. "Can you still see him?" Leo asks, getting a nod from the girl as she continued to keep a lock on her target. "Don't be too rough with him." Leo said, patting the girls shoulder, sending her off.

"I'm coming for you, Raph." She bolts off.

*Time Skip*

Raph looks around from his hiding spot up in a tree. He scanned the trees and forrest floor all around him, searching for any movement. Since he himself was green, he figured it would be extremely hard to find him in the leaves. It's been almost an hour since they started the game and no one has spotted him yet, so he was pretty confident in his spot.

The red masked turtle perked up when he saw Mikey walking on the ground. The orange masked turtle was cautiously looking at his surroundings, his bow and arrow at the ready. Raph smugly smirked and prepared his arrow. He pulled back on the string and released. The arrow flew through the air and hit Mikey directly on his head, giving him a red dot. Mikey yelped in shock and quickly spun around, frantically looking around for the offender.

Raph snickered and quickly shot Mikey with five more arrows all over. "AHHHHH! I give up!" Mikey screeched, dropping his bow and arrows, running back to the entrance of the forrest.

Raph started laughing to himself but was cut off by a far-off scream. "That sounded like Casey..." Raph was curious on who was able to make him scream like that. It couldn't have been April, Mikey or Donnie. And definitely not Y/N. "Time to go check it out," Raph mumbled to himself, jumping from tree to tree in the direction the scream came from.

That was his biggest mistake. Unknown to him, that was a trap. Made especially for him.

*Time Skip*

Raph had gotten to the general area where he heard the scream come from and looked around. He didn't see anything. That was normal. But what made him uneasy was that it was quiet. Too quiet. "Where are the animals?" He mumbled, not hearing any birds, rodents, deers, he didn't even hear any insects. Something was up.

What was the last straw, though, was when a chill ran up his spine. Someone was watching him. He started to frantically look around him, the ground, the trees, even up above him, but he didn't see anything. He was so on guard and nervous (though he would never admit that), that he jumped when he heard running footsteps and panting.

He shot his gaze to the ground to see Donnie, his bow and arrow at the ready and constantly looking over his shoulder. The purple masked turtle halted in his tracks and turned around, shooting an arrow off to someone.

Then April appeared, firing an arrow at Donnie. He dodged and fired an arrow back at April, who also dodged. This repeated a few times and Raph let out a sigh of relief, calming down after he realized he wasn't in danger. Raph smirked and prepared an arrow, aiming it at Donnie.

But before he release, something hit him on the shoulder. After he regained his balance, as the force almost pushed him off the tree, he looked down to see... white powder dusting his shoulder. "What the...?" He mumbled, going on guard and looking everywhere around him, scanning for the one person who he thought could never hit him.

Wham! Another shot to his other shoulder. "Alright, that's it!" Raph jumped down from the tree, putting his back against the stump and looking through the tree lines again.

His sudden presence made April and Donnie jump. "Raph, what are you-" Donnie cut himself off when he realized his brother wasn't paying attention, too busy watching his surroundings. Both April and Donnie noticed the white powder dusting Raphs shoulders and immediately looked to each. "Truce as we leave the area?" April proposed. Donnie nodded, "Truce. Now let's go!" They both ran off, leaving the red masked turtle by himself.

Raph kept constantly going back to the area the arrows came from, hoping to see any movement. But while he was distracted, an arrow hit his plastron. 'What?! How can she move that quickly?! She was just over there a minute ago!' Raph thought to himself as he ran to the other side of the tree, hiding.

Another arrow hit his bicep not long after. He was confused, 'How is she moving fast enough to hit me?' Raph took off away from the area, hoping he could lose her, Y/N. When another arrow hit his shell, he decided to jump up into the trees again, hoping that will help him.

He was proven wrong when he was hit again on his shell. It seemed like no matter what he did, where he went, or how fast he went, he could never escape her. After the 7th arrow hit him, he yelled in frustration and blindly shot his arrows at all of his surroundings.

He doesn't know how and he doesn't know why, but after his attack of arrows, a barrage of white tipped arrows hit him in groups of three. After the 4th group of arrows, he finally lost his balance and fell to the ground, exhausted and confused.

Raph laid there, done with the game. He heard footsteps walking towards him and he didn't even look to see who they belonged to, he knew. Then her face came into his view. She had a smug smile, "How's that for stealth?"
