Caught (TMNT fanfic)

Chapter 4

Mikey's P.O.V.

I woke up to the sound of footsteps coming my way. I stayed in my exact spot when the door way let out a decent amount of light in.

I groaned as I got a really sharp pain in the back of my head. I put my hand on my head and felt some dry blood.

I shrugged it off for now and focused on the shadow in front of me.

It stepped inside and closed the door. I guess he flipped a light switch cause there was a bright light shining over my head.

I had a feeling that I was going to go through interrogation.

I heard metal clinks as it came toward me. It stopped, which means that it stopped.

"Nice to see you awake, Michelangelo." It spoke as I choaked up. It can't be who it sounds like.

He stepped into the light and I looked at him in fear but tried my best not to show it. "Shredder." I kept my glare. "Let me go!" I yelled yanking on the chains.

"I'll let you go." He said as I stopped struggling. "But first you have to do something for me."

I gave him the eye, "what would that be?" I asked hesitantly.

He looked at me with his different eyes and inhaled. "Tell me where your lair is, and I will let you go."

I gave him an 'are you serious' look. I just turned away and didn't answer his command.

"Do not test me Michelangelo, or you will suffer." He spat at me, but still stayed in my same position.

He walked up to me and unsheathed his gauntlet. He placed it under my chin and forced me to look at him. "You asked for this." He removed it from under my chin and went toward my arm. He ran his blade slowly down my arm.

I grunted as the pain was getting worse as he was going slower and deeper. He stopped and pushed the blade in deeper into my arm. I gasped and screamed when he ran the blade as fast as he can, cutting my whole arm.

I whimpered as he moved to my other arm. "Where is your lair?" He said once again, but like before, I stayed silent. "Very well." He slashed my arm as fast as he could and I let out a scream of pure pain.

Tears ran down my cheeks as I looked at my bleeding arms. I looked up as he stood over me and he sheathed his gauntlet and said, "this isn't the end. It is just getting started." He slammed the door; the light was still on and I was getting light headed from the blood just pouring out of me.

I lied on the floor and closed my eyes as tears still managed to escape. I sobbed and cried myself to sleep.

Master Splinter walked over to Leonardo and disinfected the wound. He then stitched it up and placed a big bandage over it.

He turned to see Raphael handing Donatello and ice pack. He walked over to them and placed a hand on Raphael's good shoulder. "I must do this now, Raphael. You may sustain more damage to your arm." He said calmly.

Raph had fear in his eyes but agreed slowly. He sat down as he watched his Master approach him.

He turned away as pain reached his arm at the sudden touch.

"You can focus on me Raph." Donnie said from his side.

Raph nodded and stared right at Donnie.

"I will count to three and then pop your elbow back in place." Splinter said as Raph nodded indicating that he understood. "One... Two..."

'Pop'

Raph screamed in pain and sighed heavily, trying not to cry. "You said on three, Sensei." He grunted.

"If I did it on three, then you would have experienced more pain, Raphael." He sighed, "let me see your wrist." He instructed.

Raph obligated and placed his wrist in his father's warm and furry paws. "What count will you do it this-" 'pop'. He screamed again and this time Donnie walked away. "Why do you keep doing that?" Raph asked, a little irritated.

Splinter just looked into his eyes and wrapped his arm in a splint. "Pain is an illusion. The more you know about it, the longer it will last." He said as he placed a sheet over Leo.

Raph sighed and left after Donnie. Once he saw his brother he frowned, Donnie was crying in his arms. He walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. The sudden touch made Donnie jump.

Raph stared into his brother's eyes with his sad eyes. "What's on your mind Donnie?"

"N-nothing!" He sobbed, and stood up. "I was just-umm-trying to see if-... Since when do you care?" Donnie asked turning to face him.

Raph looked down and sighed. "I have always cared." He said very quietly.

"What?" Donnie asked, saying that he didn't hear.

"If I tell you, you have to promise not to tell anybody." Raph said as Donnie nodded. "I have always cared for you guys. I fight for you. I watch after you and I would protect you-but, this time I failed. I keep my temper to protect you guys and, to keep my reputation." He said, giving Donnie a cheesy smile.

Donnie smiled then frowned. "This isn't your fault Raph. Some things are just beyond our control."

Raph smiled and wrapped his good arm around Donnie's shoulder. "Yeah, you're right."

"Of course I am!"

"Don't push it." Raph said looking at his brother.

"Sorry."

"Like I was saying, tomorrow we're going to get Mikey back, no matter what." Raph looked at Donnie, "right?"

Donnie just stared at him. "I really hope so."
