Don't Let The Darkness Consume You

Chapter 11

Nobody's POV

Master Splinter was meditating in his room, when he heard the water running. While he was in deep meditation, he felt that something was off. He walked into the dojo, his eyes landing on the floor near the tree. Something was there. He walked closer, seeing a pair of sais and a piece of paper. He picked up the weapons and began to read the note. His eyes widened as he continued reading. He dropped everything and ran to the bathroom. It was locked. He began jiggling the handle and pounding on the door.

Master Splinter was desperate as he broke down the door, running to the side of the tub and pulling his son out. He was breathing heavily, willing himself not to break down as he sat on the floor, holding his son in his arms. A few minutes later, Donatello and Michelangelo showed up in front of the door.

Splinter looked back at the other two turtles, their faces stunned in horror. They took in the scene before them. The blood stained sink, the knife dripping with red liquid, the tub water that was no longer clear. Last of all they looked at their older brother, taking in the slashes on his wrists, his chest barely rising, and they started panicking.

Tears began to flow down Mikey's face as he cried out, falling to his knees. Donnie ran to Raph, tears flowing down his face as well as he picked up his brother.

They heard a whisper through all the cries. It was struggled, as if Raph had used the rest of his air to push out the words.

"Let me die."

No words were said as Master Splinter and Donatello carried Raphael to the lab. Donnie put a tube into Raph's lungs, draining the liquid and allowing him to breathe.

After a little while they had cleaned up all the blood, stitched his wrists, rewrapped them, and set him in his room to rest.

Although it wasn't spoken out loud, it was agreed that they all forgave Raph for what he had done on the rooftop. I mean, it was an accident after all.
