Falling for the Bad Boy :TMNT

Chapter 10

Skylar POV

"What are you doing here?" I asked as the figure appeared. Then, he threw a knife, but it wasn't aimed at me. It was aimed behind me. I spun around as I saw Raph fall to the ground. I began to shake. "No! Raph please!" I screamed. I felt someone grabb my arm and I shot straight up.

"Hey. Hey. It's okay." A voice said. I turned to see Casey standing next to my bed. "Raph. Where...where is he?" I asked urgently. The image of him falling with a knife wouldn't get out of my head. "Where." I mumbled again.

"Calm down Sky. Raph is fine. He's right there." Casey said. I felt my eyes grow hot as tears poured down my face.

"Oh God Casey. What am I gonna do?" I asked. Then, I got an idea. Wait, can we go in the living room?" I asked shakily. He nodded and saying anything, he picked me up and carried me out of the room.

He sat me down on the couch and sat across from me.

"Now, what's the matter. That was a new nightmare, wasn't it?" He asked. I nodded as the tears started building up again.

"When I disappeared, he found me. He...he threatened that if the turtles found out..he would hurt them Casey. And he..he said that I was a stupid child because...he brought up my mom. My mom, died when I was 14 months old. And he knew that. Then, he said that I wan't the only child. But..I know Raph want's to help, but I can't tell him! I can't do it Casey! I know that his anger would take over him and that he would get himself killed. I..he can't die Casey." I said. Then, I completely broke down.

"Is that what your nightmare was about? Him hurting Raph?" He asked. I nodded and sniffled.

"God. He's right. I am just a stupid kid." I said. Looking at the ground.

"No. No your not." Casey said. "Do you think that Raph would wast time helping you and actually care about you if you were just some stupid kid?" He said. I shrugged, feeling helpless and lost for words.

He glanced over at the clock. "Look. Thank you for sharing this with me. I'm going to do my own little quiet investigation. Now, it's almost time that Leo wakes everybody up. You'd better go get some sleep." He said.

I nodded and hugged him.

"Thank you." I said.

I walked back into the room and flopped down on the bed. I covered up in the blanket and curled up in a ball. The bed felt huge without Raph next to me. I tried to ignore it. I closed my eyes and focused on drifting into a light sleep.
