"i've always loved you aleiya" raph confessed as he looked aleiya in the eye. "i want you to be my girl"

"raph..do you really mean that?" aleiya asked as she looked up at the much taller mutant.

"your the most beautiful girl in the whole world. every day when i look at you, i see pure perfection. i want to spend the rest of my life with you, wake up to you every day and fall asleep with you in my arms every night. i want to hold you and never let you go aleiya.. your my one and only"

aleiya felt tears form in her eyes. not sad, but happy tears.

"raph i.." aleiya started. "i love you too.." aleiya whispered as raph wrapped his arms around aleiyas waist.

raph leaned down for a kiss but stopped when he was right in front of her mouth, instead he moved to her ear...

"and i would love to have those powers"

aleiya quickly backed up and no longer saw raph. she saw... the demon.

it started to laugh a maniacal laughter. "give it up aleiya, i already won. you are no match for me.. i'll kill everybody you love! i'll kill raphael because i know you love him. and then i'll kill you!"

aleiya started to hyperventilate. the room started to spin in fast circles and the laughter of the demon got louder and louder to the point where if aleiya covered her ears she could still hear it clear.

"no! you won't kill anybody!!" aleiya screamed as the laugher got louder by the second. fear grew in aleiya as she realized she was giving the demon exactly what it wanted: her fear.

"and your gonna stop me? you cant even see me! you don't even know how to use your powers! stupid girl, you think a few months of messily training can stop me? i'm all over! i'm slowly driving you crazy and once i get you crazy enough, you'll kill your own family!" the demon laughed.

aleiya looked around but was met with total darkness. she couldn't see a thing.

"please just leave me alone" aleiya cried. "please leave me and my family alone!!"

aleiya started to feel the same sharp pains in her wrists and before she knew it, fire started to explode out of her hands..

ALEIYAS EYES SNAPPED OPEN revealing her sitting up on her bed in a cold sweat. she smelt fire, so she turned on her light and saw fresh burn holes in her sheets.

"fuck" aleiya whispered as she looked at the alarm clock that sat on the night stand beside her bed, ur red 4:45 AM.

aleiya walked to the bathroom and splashed water on her face. it seemed like she could never have a peaceful sleep without these horrible nightmares.

but why did she see raph? how did this figure thing know about her feelings for him? aleiya hoped it wouldn't do anything bad to him, should she tell him what she saw?

aleiya was so lost in her thoughts she didn't realize the water was about to overflow in the sink. she quickly turned off the water and drained the sink before leaving the bathroom.

as aleiya was walking by she noticed light coming from donnie's lab. he had a horrible sleep schedule due to his overworking nature, so aleiya decided that instead of going back to sleep she would hang out with him.

"hey donnie" aleiya called out while knocking on the door.

"oh hey aleiya, come in" donnie gestured to the seat beside him as aleiya closed the door.

"what brings you here?" donnie asked as he continued doing whatever it was he was doing on his desk/table thing.

"bad dreams" aleiya simply said. she didn't know if she should tell him about raph or not, she didn't want him to think his own brother was going to die but aleiya wasn't even sure about the whole thing herself.

"oh, i'm sorry you keep having those. i'm trying my best to find a cure or a way to help you" donnie apologized as he faced aleiya.

"oh no it's no problem, i know your doing your best you don't have to apologize" aleiya said. "what are you working on?"

"fixing the toaster mikey broke yesterday" donnie said. "for some reason, he thought he could shove five toaster strudels in at once" donnie shook his head.

"oh" aleiya laughed. "classic mikey"

"yea, well-" donnie started but was interrupted by mikey barging in.

"donnie the microwaves broken- oh hey aleiya!" mikey said as he walked up and behind the two.

"mikey, how did you break the- why are you breaking everything?!" donnie asked, becoming irritated at his little brother.

"it wasn't even my fault! who would've known you aren't supposed to put aluminum foil in the microwave?!" mikey defended.

"everybody mikey. everybody knows that" donnie said, pinching the bridge of his nose. "just bring the microwave in here so i can fix it and then stay out of the kitchen"

"about that.." mikey trailed off.

"what?" donnie said as he faced mikey.

"it's uh....still on fire in the kitchen.." mikey cringed as donnie shot up.

"YOU SHELLBRAIN" donnie shouted as he ran to the kitchen. mikey and aleiya laughed as they heard donnie shouting at mikey from the kitchen.

aleiya knew she had to tell somebody about her dream but she didn't know who or how. she didn't want to tell leo donnie or mikey because she didn't want to scare them and make them think their brother was going to die, same reason with splinter. she didn't want him to think his son was going to die and she didn't want to tell raph for obvious reasons. and another thing was she didn't know if the demon was just saying that to scare her or not.

either way aleiya was still fearful for what this demon was capable of.
