What Happened to Fearless

The Nightmares are Alive!

Leo POV

I woke up in jolt. The nightmares are becoming to much for me. Their screams sound so real. I was supposed to protect them, and i failed. I look over at my alarm clock and notice that it is 5:04 in the morning. I usually wake up at 5:30 so whats the point of going back to sleep. I just sat there on my bed, lost in thought. What if they're dead? What if i never get to see them again? I tried so hard to find them, then i left. I will never forgive myself for that.

My nightmares have been constantly focused on the place i was held captive in. But most importantly, my time with Kendall and Quinn. It starts good but ends terrible. With them being either taken away or killed right in front of me, and im powerless to do anything about it. I dont think i will ever get over those two girls who trusted me.

My time in that facility left scares on me but im able to hide those from my family and friends. The hardest things i have to cover up are the gun shot wounds i got from when they took the girls away and the brand on the back of my head. Its not a small one but its not too big. Im just worried that my family will see it and start asking questions. I don't even want to begin of how bad I don't want to tell them. I even brought back one of the guns they used to threaten us with. I keep it next to my bed hidden away from the door so my brothers and father couldn't see it. If they come back for me, I will not hesitate to kill them. Not after what they did to Quinn and Kendall

I look back over at my clock and see it is now 5:30. I start hearing my brothers alarms go off and feet walking in the hallway. I grab my katanas and put my bandana on, making sure to cover up my brand. You would think that after it being there for so long it wouldn't hurt when you touched it, but it still gives a little sting. I get up, even though the pain searing threw my body is screaming not to, and walk out to the stairs to see my whole family sitting in the living room.

"Probably waiting for me to get down here." I thought to myself. I walked down the steps slowly and hid my pained face well. Hearing me, my father and brothers turn to face me.

Once I get closer to them, Raph decided to break the silence. "Wow. We even got down here before fearless. What up with that?" I glared at him and he shrugged his shoulders. "What? You use to be the first one down here every morning."

I didn't say anything. They all got up to go to the kitchen to eat some breakfast. I followed but I'm not gonna eat anything. I can barely drink water without having to throw up and I don't want my family to see me week. As I sat down at the table watching my family eat, I couldn't help think about Quinn and Kendall. I try so hard not to but I can't help it  I'm brought out of my daze when a hand waves in front of me. On instinct, I jump up, grab the persons arm and pin them down to the ground. I did this when the guards tried to take me to torture or one of the girls. Finally I realized that it was don that I pined down.

I quickly got off of him as my other brothers help him stand. "What the heck Leo?! Why did you do that?!" Mikey asked. I just shook my head, to remind myself I'm home, I'm safe.

"My son are you all right?" Sensei asked me.

"Yes sensei." I nodded.

Before anyone else could talk the phone rang and I went to answer it, not wanting to get chewed out by them.  "Hello?"

"Hey Leo its April."

"Hey April what's up?" I asked like nothing just happened in the kitchen. Long conversation short, April asked us to come over tonight to hang out and of course we said yes.

After that we had training. It was horrible for me. I was the first one to break a sweat and we had only be training for 40 minutes. I saw my brothers look at me which confusion as to why I'm so slow and week. I tried not to look it.

After hours of silence in this home, we finally walked to April and Casey's. As we entered through the window we saw the news was on and something happened.

"What's going on?" Don asked.

April turned to us. "Shh! Listen!"

We did as we were told and stood behind the couch and listened.

Channel 6 News anchor lady: The office building today got a note in the mail. We feel like we should read this tonight because this message was written for you. (Letter is underlined)
     
              Their screams echoed off the cell walls. They screamed your name. You fought us to try to get to them. You lost. You will never hear their laughter, see their smiles, or hear the child call you dad ever again. You couldn't save them. You were so close. How will you save your family when the time comes. I'm coming for you. Number 18. Leo. You will die by my hands.
-Pablo.

I froze. I saw my brothers looking at me then looking away. I can tell they thought of me first but realized no humans, besides April and Casey, knew about us. Boy are they wrong. That was meant for me. And it's all true. How can I protect my family when I couldn't protect Quinn and Kendall. After they were done talking about that stupid letter, April turned the tv off.

"Ok who are they threatening?" Raph asked.

"Who knows." April answered. "But I can tell is someone Hispanic. Because of the name Pablo."

"Well it mentioned a guy named Leo." Donnie stated and everyone turned to look at me.

"Leo is there something you haven't told us?" Mikey asked me.

Should I tell them? I don't know. What do I do? Before I could stop myself from answering, a word came out of my mouth. "Yes."

Then I ran.
