(A/N : I'm sorry for the very late updates. You know, some people may say “But we're quarantined. What do you have to be busy about?” Well let's just say our country doesn't know the meaning of 'quarantine'. People just walk in the streets with masks on, nothing more. And classes are open, the extra ones. Sorry but my life is not on the wheel right now so I apologize in advance.)

The three teenagers hopped in the truck, heading towards their targeted location. Leo was in the back of the vehicle, watching the cold and trafficking highway. He remained stone-faced for the whole ride, deep in his thoughts. Eventually, a long sigh escaped his firmly knotted lips. He retreated back to where his brothers would be taking place. His brainiac brother driving, almost at the highest speed the roads allowed him, and his party-lover lil' bro examining the GPS carefully.

"Near there yet?" "No, but we will be. Hang on for a bit longer." Donnie answered calmly, but the hidden anxiety in his voice told Leo otherwise. Leo just hummed an 'Okay' in response, sitting back down.

Slowly..hardly..struggling to open his eyes, grunts left his vocal cords. Finally opening his tightened eyes, the tied up turtle adjusted to the darkness as time passed by. His back, his neck, his shoulders, everything hurt. From the tip of his toes to the top of his head. Too much. Too much pain, too much exhaustion, too much desperation. And he still was keeping his walls up. Sure, he broke down in howls of grief during these 2 days, but he wasn't going to beg for his life. No.

He wasn't moving, in fact he wasn't even thinking. His mind was blank, white, empty. He just mindlessly looked around, searching for something to pull him out of his state. Until, he saw the man. He saw the devil himself. That evil man, that immoral lion. That knocked him back to his shielding condition.

"Where am I, you..asshole!?" The only answer he got was a smirk. The devil walked to his side slowly, keeping his face hidden. "Well, we are not here to lie, are we?" Raph only raised his eyebrow in confusion. "We are in my basement for your concern, young man." Raph made a 'Tsk' sound as he managed to fake a chuckle. "Ooh, the basement! Where all the creepy stuff happens, how cliche." Raph commented his sarcastic opinion, making an annoyed face. A brief silence fell upon the area, keeping both creatures silence.

With no further words, the boss switched the lights on. Raph quickly reacted and closed his eyes in order to not damage them. Slowly, he opened his eyes, adjusting his sight again. When he looked more carefully, his eyes loosened in fear. A table full of knives, whips and further more, was right in front of his eyes. He took a moment and gazed at himself. Ropes were wrapped around his arms, wrists, legs and ankles. Along that, he was also tied up to a rusty chair that was stained in dried blood. His eyes widened more, eyes twitching from stress. "Now shall we begin the fun?"

"So..this is the place?" Mikey asked, looking at the old and ruined house. His curiosity was becoming dangerous. "Yes I suppose. This is the last location that was recorded on Raph's phone." Donnie answered, examining the 'house'. "Even if it's not his exact location, we might be able to find some clues here." Leo ordered, looking at his two brothers.

Both Leo and Donnie knew that Mikey was way too excited about this more than he should be, but they were proven wrong. To Mikey, this was not a joke. This, was a matter of life and death, which got him dead serious. The duo didn't complain though.

"Alright. Let's get in, we don't have time-" Leo's voice got cut off with a much, much higher voice, more like a shriek. "What the-!?" Mikey blurted out, eyes widening crazy. "Are you sure this is not the exact place!?" Mikey asked Donnie with a raise to his voice. "I..I'm not sure anymore." Donnie answered back in a shocked state. "Keep it down, we'll go in, silently, full stealth." Leo whispered, getting closer to the house. The two stopped and nodded, following their big fearless brother. They all found a window which led to a dark and empty hallway. The three agreed and found their way inside from there.

Tip-toeing and passing the hallway, their eyes wandered for clues of their brother. "But seriously, was that his?" Mikey whispered to the point where only a bat could hear him. "Not sure-" Leo was cut off once again when another scream was heard. Although, this time, it was much clearer. Raspy, rough and cracked. It did sound like him. "I think it was from this way." Donnie whispered, pointing to the dark end of the hall. There was a staircase leading down. The three sprinted there like ninjas.

With some problems seeing, they managed to make it down to the place that looked like a basement. But there was another door, and the lights were visible from the crack of it. But..

What happens if they enter?

(I know, short. But still. Love y'all!)
