Chapter 4
Raphael sat their on the cold cement, having nothing else to do but wait. The silence bothered him greatly, because it meant they'd be waiting for something, specifically his brothers coming to the rescue.
He bitterly pulled on his shackles, trying his best to let it break. Standing on his two feet, he pushed his legs onto the wall as he leaned the opposite direction, pulling on them. He added his weight and force onto the shackles. Attempting to break it. Attempting.
The more he tried to pull them off the hinges, the more it pressed against his skin, making it painfully unbearable each time he tried to break free.
He knew it wasn't going to budge, but he had to try, he had to make sure his brothers wouldn't step into this building. He could feel it bruised from his attempts, he could feel blood around his arms.
Crimson red liquid trailed down from his arms, dripping on the floor. Because of the force being applied onto chains, it was cutting through his skin, making him hiss in pain.
He stopped his actions, his muscles burning like a wild fire. He was bleeding, exhausted, hungry, cold and sleepy.
He couldn't sleep anytime now, he had stay up to warn his brothers it's a trap. A trap for Splinter. For his family's death.
He might've been in the clutches of Shredder, but if it meant their safety he would allow it. He made a silent promise to himself, breaking it was not an option.
"Just five minutes" He mumbled to himself, slowly closing his eyes.
Just closing his eyes already felt to tempting to sleep, he could feel the darkness wrap around him. Before he knew it, he was asleep.
All he thought was, 'Just five minutes'.
Little did he know it'd be more than just five minutes. More like five hours.

"Raph! Raph! Wake up, Raph!" A very familiar voice screamed quietly.
"Raph, Raph wake up bro. We gotta go before we get caught!"
"C'mon guys! Give him some air!"
"What?" Raph groaned, being violently shook from his sleep.
His eyes blurry from exhaustion, dizzy from the blood loss, painful muscle strained.
He forced his eyes open, seeing his three brothers crowded around him, with relief washing over them.
"Raph! Your alive! But you're bleeding" Mikey exclaimed, jumping into his older brothers arms, not minding some the warm liquid land on him.
He yelped in pain, having his youngest brother tackle you in a bear hug isn't really helpful.
"Mikey!!" Both scolded.
Two pairs of hand grabbed the orange-masked turtle off the wounded one. He mumbled a sorry, giving him an apologetic look.
"Be careful! Your going to hurt him more than help him!" Donnie snapped.
His hands free, arms free from the metal shackles, he pushed himself off the ground. Only stumbling back down.
He was hoisted up by Leo and Donnie.
"Whe-where are we going?" Raph asked confused.
"You don't remember? You were kidnapped by a new member of the Foot Clan I suppose. The blood loss mustn't be helping much, we need to get him out of here now before he bleeds to death!" Donnie worriedly warned.
"No! It's a trap! Y-you have to leave me, before it too late!" Raph warned, trying to push himself away from them still slightly dazed.
"Now is not the time for arguing Raph! Of course it's a trap!"
"I'm. The. Bait!! I'll only slow us down! Go! Leave!"
"No turtle left behind, no matter what" Leo insisted, holding his stubborn brother in a stern grip.
Michelangelo ran out of the cell, swinging his nunchaku effortlessly, looking out for any Footbots.
Raph groaned in pain, limping as he had an arm around each brother, helping him walk.
They moved quickly, as much as possible, Raphs limbs felt like they were about to melt off, but he pushed himself further.
"H-how did you get past A--!"
"You didn't, and you won't" Eris cut Raph off.
She ran around them, making them step back into each other's shell. Being a speedster frightened the four.
"She has super speed?! Why in Darwin's beard, did you not tell us this?!" Donnie practically yelled, waving his arms in the air.
"I told you to leave! I told you it was a damn trap!" Raph scolded.
"Well you could've been more specific--!" Before Donnie could even blink, he was in chains, "Hey! Let us go you mutated hybrid!!"
"Donnie! What the--! Ahh!" Mikey screamed, being held captive beside his genius brother.
Raph was brought in the same cell in less than a mili-second. The amount of speed made his head spin like a carousel. The blood loss, the speed was making him lose consciousness.
"Raph?! Raph!! Don't you dare fall unconscious! You need to wake up!!" Donnie pleaded.
Leo was then in shackles beside his hotheaded brother. He let out a frustrated cry, pulling on his chains.
"Leo! Calm down! You need to save your energy!" Donnie warned, trying to reach his brother as he tugged on the shackles.
Leo panted heavily, his shell slumped down the freezing wall, giving a sad look to his unconscious brother.
They had failed.
Leo heard footsteps walking closer to them, making him growl, looking straight to what he now labeled, 'demon'.
"What do you want?" Leo hastily asked.
"I'm here to offer you a deal, one that'll save your lives and your master's."
"Why should I trust you?"
"Because, I'm your only opportunity for survival, desperate times call for desperate measures."
"What are those measures?"
"If your willing to listen, I'll tell you, all you have to do, is follow my every instruction. Now, shall I begin?"
"I'm all ears"
