Outlaw's Help ~* COMPLETED *~

Chapter 7

      Morning came and Leo was in the house sitting by the fireplace as he was on the floor just letting the fire warm him up from the cold night. Raph was sleeping as Leo checked him first before laying down to the floor as his eyes struggled to stay up since the cold kept him awake including the cows when they would make any noise.
     But even though from how hard he tried his eyelids closed making him then sleep on the floor as his face turned away from the fire. Soon the door from Donnie's room opened as he was about to head to see Raph he saw Leo there sleeping as Donnie looked worried so he got in Leo's room grabbing his blanket as Donnie came back placing it over Leo as he instantly cuddled in it.
     So Donnie then went to Raph seeing him too sleep as he came over pulling the blanket up looking at the stitching as it was only four stitches but still. It looked okay as he then placed the blanket down to see Raph waking up.
    Donnie was about to leave but Raph asked something as that got Donnie to widened his eyes with his face all red. " why do you have a bite mark on your neck..."
     " w-what bite mark?" Donnie asked looking at Raph as if mad while his hand was then covering the mark. " the one on your neck... You secretly seeing someone?"
    As Raph said that smirking while sitting Donnie blushed more while he said low. " If you tell Leo or Mikey this I will poison you..."
     Donnie then went out as Raph held in a hard laugh as he got his hand to his mouth. ' Man Donnie must be with some woman that Leo probably would not approve of. '
    Raph then got up but slowly to not hurt himself as he started to walk out of the room when he instantly saw Leo there sleeping on the floor by the fire. Mikey then came over as Raph asked pointing to Leo. " is he okay?"
     " more than likely didn't sleep. Those cows would keep me up all night if I watched them. " Mikey then went in the kitchen to start making breakfast as Donnie came back out eyeing Raph on not telling about the bite marks. Raph chuckled a little then walked over to sit on one of the chairs while he got one hand on the chair looking to Leo. " So you two going to let him sleep or is he going to be woken up soon?"
     " he will not be happy when he wakes up but we are going to let him sleep..." Donnie said while he looked to Raph. " He sometimes forget to sleep so most days you would see him up or doing something... I think he is just struggling to not fall asleep..."
     Raph listened to Donnie as he looked back to sleeping Leo as Raph then looked to the two brothers " Since you're letting me walk around I could help out while he rests."
     They two looks at each other as Donnie asked Raph. " Have you ever worked on a farm before?"
    Raph shakes his head no while he said. " Not really. But it can't be that hard right?"
     Mikey then laughed as that got bother Raph and Donnie's attention while Mikey then said. " You have no idea Raph. "

    Surely enough Raph didn't know what he was supposed to do as he was with Mikey getting the eggs so Raph watched them to make sure the chickens would not pluck or peck at him. He felt a little nervous being in the chicken house when all of a sudden a chicken decided to jump on Raph's head as he yelled from it being unexpected while he backed up out of the chicken house.
     But as he got to the exit the whole wall that was a door for them to get in opened making Raph fell back and lands fast in the snow as well as the few eggs in his hands flew in the air. Raph opened his eye widening them with a gasp as he got his arms up and started to catch them all with his two hands till then he heard laughing.
    Raph moved his eye and looked at Mikey while the same chicken that went on Raph's head was on know Mikey's. " Sorry, she likes to surprised stringers that enter here by jumping on heads. "
     Raph just laid back in the snowing ground letting a big sigh out saying. " No kidding..."
     Raph had his eyes closed as it did feel a little nice being in the cold snow till he heard Donnie yell from being far from them. " Raph don't let your clothes wet! If your shirt is wet and rubs on your stitching you can get it infected!"
     " Yeah. Yeah. Yeah..." Raph said getting up and then getting the eggs he caught in the bag Mikey was using. " So what next?"
     Mikey looked over as he said closing and locking the wall door from the chicken house. " Next is to feed the pigs and move all the snow out of their opened area. "
     Raph looked over at the pig place looking a little unsure as Mikey and he went over but Mikey's next stop was to go inside to place the eggs away. But while Raph looked at the pig's spot he was at first, okay but soon he felt his side sting a little thinking it was just acting up from being recently active to move around as he stood there.
    Mikey came back out and over while he said. " Alright let's get these guys."
    Raph walked in after Mikey while he felt the sting again but this time it made Raph say out. " Ah!"
    Mikey looked at Raph as he got to one knee and grabbed his hide making Mikey run over to him. " Are you hurting a lot?"
     Raph breathed hard as he removed his hand seeing his hand was covered a lot in his blood making Mikey yell. " Donnie!"
     Raph stood up on both feet as he said still breathing a little hard. " I'm fine..."
     Donnie came in as he saw Raph's hand so he got closer to Raph. " Like hell you are! You just reopened the stitching!"
