Faceless Fear (TMNT FANFICTION)

Chapter 4

Donatello followed Leo around the lair, trying to stop him. He needed to talk to him and badly, but it was obviously his leader was purposely ignoring him.

"Leo are you even listening to me?" Donnie said, mimicking every step of Leonardo's to the main living room. Leo huffed.

"Donnie you need to let this go." Leo walked into the kitchen, his destination was the fridge. Donatello stood in front of him just as he reached for the handle. Leo looked up, seeing the chocolate orbs staring down at him with fear.

"He told me, that I would pray if I never found out. Does that sound like anything Mikey would say?" Leo stood up and just smiled. He placed a hand on Donnie's shoulder and chuckled.

"I think Mikey is pulling your leg bro and you're letting him." Leo turned his back and walked over to the table and picked up the glass of water he brought out earlier. Donatello was growing impatient with Leo's sudden blindness to the problem at hand. He growled and quickly knocked the drink out of Leonardo's hand. The glass crashed to the ground, the water splattering into patterns across the floor. Leo crooked a brow, looking down at the mess.

"Well that caught my attention." He looked up at Donnie. "What's wrong Donnie?" Don brought his hands out in front of him, trying to think of the words to say, allowing his fingers to clench and unclench in a repetitive rhythm.

"Somethings...wrongs Leo. I don't know how to explain it but something is wrong with Mikey that's what I'm trying to tell you!" The strain was enough to convince Leo to investigate slightly with this.

"Okay. Let's go see." Leo took Donnie's wrist and lead him down the hall to the bedrooms. They stopped in front of Mikey's door before Leo opened it.

"Mikey?" He called. Mikey looked up. He sat crossed legged on his bed with sketch book in his lap. His eyes were wide and confused.

"Yeah?" he asked. Leo flicked his eyes at Donnie before looking back at Mikey.

"Are you feeling okay?" Mikey shrugged.

"Yea I feel fine why?" He asked. Before Leo could respond, something ran passed his feet. Looking down, he saw little Klunk running out of the room as quickly as his little feet could take him. Donatello noticed the strange behavior of the small animal and kept a mental note of it. Leo looked back up at Mikey.

"Just making sure." Was all he said before shutting the door. Leo faced Donnie and motioned for the door, showing that their little brother was perfectly fine. Donnie shook his head.

"That doesn't prove anything Leo and you know it." Leo crossed his arms.

"You know what I think? I think you are becoming a little obsessed with this whole Foot thing and I think Mikey is going through some things because father is away. You know how he worries." Leo quickly passed Donnie with his brother right on his heels.

"This isn't some act of depression Leo this is something else!" Donnie roughly grabbed Leo by the shoulder to turn him. Leo huffed with annoyance, growing frustrated by his brother's determination.

"Leo, I don't know what is keeping you so blind but there is something going on." Donnie felt he was talking to a wall. Leo just stared at him like a parent would when their child was telling a fantasy story. Leo was about to respond but his eyes looked around the room to see they were the only two.

"Where's Raph?"

In the garage the music blared as high as it could.

Raphael was on his knees next to his bike, tinkering around with some of the body work. This was Raphael's time. To be able to relax and focus on what he enjoyed. He called Casey earlier to see if he wanted to stop by but he said he was out of town working with his uncle. Raphael didn't mind being alone though, it allowed him to clear his head a bit. With the strangeness that has been happening it was starting to get to him. He felt like he needed to remain on his toes for absolutely no reason. It was starting to suffocate him. It was making him more confused than he already was. So he stayed in the garage and listened to his favorite music.
