I can't believe it (TMNT fanfiction)

37. death

Shredder froze. I left my katana in his body and I slowly back off. Then, he turned to face me and he started laughing.

-Tamara really didn't learn you anything. I can't kill the Yamashi and you can't kill me! He said, laughing even harder.

-But I can. Said Raph. He grabed my katana that was still in his body and he removed it before putting it back again.

Shredder stoped laughing. He droped on his knee and he stared at me. Then, he smiled.

-I never thought that I would die before you. He said.

-Go to hell. I said.

He laugh but by doing that, he cough some blood.

And just like that, he fell on his side and stopped couching. He was dead.

-Raph... We killed Shredder...

-Yeah. Feels good right? He answer.

-Yeah. Now let's get the hell out of here. I said as we walked towards our brothers.

Before I reach them, Splinter appear in front of me, Shredder's blade in his hands.

-YOU KILLED HIM! He screamed. He was furious.

He stabed me with the blade right where Shredder was stabed. I could'nt breathe, I could'nt move. The time literally stoped before I felt on my side. I heard Raph screamed and then, I saw Splinter, falling now far from were I was. Did Raph killed him?

-Leo? Oh my gosh! Please don't die! Leo? LEONARDO! Said Raph, crying. Yes, Raphael was crying.

My vision became blurry and the last thing I saw was Raph, Donnie and Mikey looking down at me. Raph was crying his eyes out as Donnie and Mikey were holding each others.

-He's going to be Ok. Said Mikey. And that's the last thing I heard.

I saw a bright light in front of me. Normally, I think you are supossed to walk in it before you become a ghost or something but I don't want to die. I don't want to let my brothers without Splinter and me! I just have to do what Tamara told me to do. Take my soul and bring it back to my body.

I looked away from the light and I saw my body with my brothers around it. Donnie was giving me CPR, so technically, my heart is still beating. I just have to go back in my body.

I focused super hard, like I do to teleport, but it was to go back in my body. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, I had Donnie in front of me.

I took a deap breathe, realizing that I was back.

-LEO? OH MY GOD YOU DID IT!

-Yeah. I said. I turned around to cough. Tamara was right; I feel like shit.

I try to get up but Raph pushed me down.

-What do you think you are doing? He asked.

-Saving Splinter. I answer.

-No you aren't. He said.

-C'mon Raph. You know I can do it.

-No you can't. Leo you died! I loved Splinter as much as you do, but I love you more. So don't you dare risk your life on him. He said.

-But I can't take his place. We need him! I said trying to get up again.

-You already did. Said Mikey who was barely standing alone. He had his arm around Donnie's shoulder to help him.

-Now shut up. We are going back to the lair. Said Raph.

Raph helped me stand up. Once I was on my feet, I almost fell fowards because of the awful pain in my stomach.  Raph hold me up again.

-Can you walk? He asked me.

-Yes. Guys, I need you all to hold my arm. I say, putting my right arm that wasn't just flesh, out.

Without any questions, they all did. Donnie now had Splinter in his arm because we couldn't just let him there.

-Don't freak out please, we're just going to teleport to the lair. I said.

-Are you sure it's a good idea? Asked Donnie.

-Probably not.

I started focusing on the lair, more precisely the dojo and just like that, we were all home.

Now, I coudn't stand at all, even with Raph help. I was too weak.

-Leo? Asked Raph.

Then, everything went black. I guess I passed out.
