Outlaw's Help ~* COMPLETED *~

Chapter 14

    Mikey was outside of the house looking worried since he found Raph, not on the bed. But at the moment he was getting the pigs door to be closed so they would not be in the storm as well as the chickens getting them safe.
    Mikey soon heard horses as he turned to see Raph coming up to the house fast on the horse as Mikey came fast over. As soon as the horse stopped running Raph jumped right off causing Raph more pain as he went to Mikey. " get Leo inside fast!"
     Mikey did not argue and got Leo running to the house to get him in while Raph watched them till they were in he grunted holding his side. ' Shit! I keep reopening this stupid stitching.  '
    Donnie then came seeing Raph as he got off and over to Raph's side. " Did you reopen them?"
     " No... Just take care of Leo first..." Donnie looked to him then nods getting over to the house and inside.
    Raph then got up holding his side while walking over grabbing the reins to the horses to get in the barn. Once he was in he got the horses free from the saddles and others while getting back to their rooms but when Raph was about to walk out he saw there was a lot of heated charcoal for the horses to be warm to the place.
    But Raph looked around for anything that was metal to the size of his gunshot wound. As he found a piece he went over and got part of it in the hot charcoal sitting there looking at it very slowly getting hot.
     Raph then closed his eyes getting a memory out that made him feel so scared as he could really never get it out.

       Raph was running down the road after his school as he ran as fast as he could while he ran to his and his friends place they would always go to play. " Wait up brother!"
     Raph turned to look at his little step-sister that was a mutant lizard that was trying to catch up with them. " Mona go back home! Dad will worry about you!"
     Raph had the feeling he should have just gone back but he was just a 12-year-old kid that wanted to have a lot of fun. He didn't know that was the last time he would talk to her.
    But as he was done playing and they walked back to town their eyes widened with shock and fear seeing the town burnt to the ground. They all started to run screaming to their homes as Raph turned over to get to where his family running over as fast his feet could take him.
    Raph got there as he saw the house on fire as a few horses ran off with the bandits ran off while Raph didn't think and ran in as he looked around yelling in the burned house. " Mom! Dad! Mona!"
     No one answered as he then starts to get up the stairs fast while the fire spread as he then went to the room but to only find one body as he ran over to get the body in his arms. " Mona! Mona wake up please!"
    She laid there as it showed her throat was cut open deeply while Raph felt so much rage and yelled loudly as he didn't know what to do. " AH!"
    So he then started walking with a red ridden in his hand that his sister always tried to get him to put on him as he felt he could not let it go. Raph walked on and on with no food or water in the desert as he then felt his foot could not take another stop as he landed to the ground closing his eyes.
     But to soon feel himself getting turned around as he opened his tired weak green eyes as he saw a mutant tiger there as he would then get water as to find out he was the leader of the Foot Outlaws as Raph joined them as they raised Raph to care and help others.

        Raph opened his eyes and looked at the metal while some little amber would come out as Raph got his hands to his mouth trying to hold in his tears for his family as he always cried remembering that part of his past and also the passing of his admirer and what he called also Dad. But Raph then grabbed the metal as he looked at the burnt side as it showed its red and orange of the hot metal.
     Raph then got it back in the charcoal getting his belt off from around his pants then got the hot metal getting it up once getting the belt in his mouth. He breathed hard grabbing the metal knowing this was going to hurt a lot but he breathes a few seconds then quickly placed the metal to his wound fast.
    Raph yelled loud with still the belt in his mouth and his teeth biting hard as he too shut his eyes hard with tears falling. His free hand gripped the ground as he soon started to breath hard opening his eyes as he got the metal back in the charcoal since he was not done yet.
    He got his belt out of his mouth breathing hard as he said. " Ah... Shit that hurt..."
    Raph then looked at the stitching as it showed it was going to stay shut this time while he then moved his pants more down to where he had the burned mark of the Foot Outlaw. ' I got this mark for you... Dad... As you promised we would find the one that killed my family... My sister... But they ain't going to do a thing... That's why I left them... And because of the new leader's actions... Please don't hate me for coveting your mark... '
      Raph looked to the metal as he knew if any of the Foot Outlaws found him and their mark burnt over its a betrayal to the group. But Raph was not scared as he got the belt back to his mouth grabbing the hot metal again. ' I'm not a Foot Outlaw if this is how they are going to be remembered!'
     Raph then started to move the metal to the old burnt mark making Raph grunt again yelling as he turned the metal over fast to get the other part of the mark. But as soon as he got the metal off him he dripped the hot metal as he got his forehead to the ground grunting and tears falling from the pain.
     But then he heard Donnie yell while he ran to Raph. " What are you doing!"
    As soon as Donnie was to Raph's side Raph was already getting his pants up to hide his burnt mark while Donnie looked also getting Raph's belt out of his mouth. " Raph what are you doing? You could get this infected..."
     Raph let out a few breathes then said out looking to Donnie. " I need to leave here Donnie... The sooner the better..."
    Donnie looked to Raph as he got his arm over his neck while he said. " It does not mean to just go and burn yourself Raph..."
