Unforgivable Torture [discontinued]

Chapter 9**

[⚠Warning : Gore scenes ahead⚠️]

Another scream scratched their ears. They were all hesitating behind the door. The three gazed at each other, not having the guts to enter. It was much clearer, the shriek, the cries. It was him.

Leo inhaled a shaky and deep breath, wrapping his hands around the handle. "On the count of three. One..." Leo whispered, tightening his grip. Donnie got into a defending position, getting his pocket-knife out. "Two..." Mikey made fists, frowning hardly.

"Three."

They all barged into the door, breaking it into pieces. Leo shielded his brother while they did so. Eyes focusing, they looked for the main source of sound. Until, their minds went blank at the sight.

Blood. There was blood all over the floor. So much, why is there so much blood!? Their eyes followed the trail of the liquid, finding a victim on a chair, all tied up. Although, this wasn't just any victim. This was their brother. The three's faces went pale, unable to move. "RAPH!"

Leo sprinted towards his younger brother, kneeling by his side. "Raph! Raph! You hear me bro? Give me a sign you still hear me!" All panicky, Leo touched his brother's bruised cheek, receiving a whimper. Donnie ran to his side and started cutting the ropes. Mikey quickly ripped his black scarf off and started wiping the blood. Well, as much as he could. "Raph..God what did they do to you?" Leo murmured, helping Donnie getting him free. Raph's lips moved, barely letting out any sound. Eventually, his voice found a way out.

"They..They...tortured me..'cause I..was loud." He panted out, collapsing to Leo's arms when the ropes were off. The blue's eyes loosened. "Where. Where are they now?" Donnie asked as gently as he could, using his own sleeves to wipe Raph's blood. "Left..for a break...They'll be..back." His choked sentence ended by getting major coughs. Blood hung from the corner of his mouth. "It's..It's gonna be alright. We'll get you out of here." Leo reassured, picking him up bridal style. "Let's get outa here!" Mikey whisper-yelled. They all got up and ran towards the nearest window in the hallway. On their way out, something caught Donnie's eyes, but he didn't point it out. The bite marks, bruised lips and badly scarred inner thighs.

'I'll investigate that later.' He thought before jumping out. Mikey jumped out first, holding his arms up for Leo to hand him Raph. While the progress was made, a beeping was heard. Rapid beeping. "Oh shoot." Mikey said as he held Raph in his arms. "They found out Raph's gone!" Donnie yelled out, scared half to death. "Then get your butt down there!" Leo demanded, pushing Donnie to go. While he did, something sharp passed his cheek. A metal ninja star!?

Leo quickly scanned behind him, seeing that massive skeleton Akita running his way. "Come here you!" But Leo already jumped out. They all ran to the truck, putting Raph in the back with Leo. "Mike! You drive!" "On it!" Donnie got in the passive seat, buckling his seat-belt. Mikey got in, started the engine and pushed his foot on the gas pedal as hard as he could.
"NO! YOU LITTLE SONS OF A-" Rahzar got cut off when Mikey hit him with the vehicle. "That's what you get, sucker!" Mikey teased, driving off.

"No- NO!" He yelled out almost pleading. Another strike. Another bruise. "AH-! N-NO- STOP!" He heard a growl and immediately knew he was screwed. "No- not the knife! NO!" His skin broke and blood splattered everywhere. "No..NOT AGAIN! DON'T-" But no one listened as he got knifed once again. His throat was burning from the shouting, aching from the lump pressuring him. He couldn't break, but he was dying literally. His eyes blurred out as he saw the pitch darkness again.

Raph flinched at the memory, curling up to a ball more. Donnie moved to the back to treat his wounds, and after he was done, he heard a faint 'thank you'. He left again so Raph could have alone time, with Leo somehow. Raph never really experienced having a big brother. He did logically, but not emotionally. Always had his brave, tough and strong face shown, shoving everyone away. But now? It was the best time to have someone by his side, to comfort him. And Leo was the only and best option.

Stroking his head, Leo sadly looked at his wounded brother hugging himself. What he went through, what he saw. He is too young for that. To Leo, all of them were still scared and young. Too soon to be independent out there, knowing how to deal with this. He had to be there for Raph this time. No matter how stubborn he was the past times, this time he needed his brothers.

Leo smiled sadly and planted a gentle kiss on Raph's forehead. He, too, leaned back and closed his eyes. But..

What they didn't hear was the small fading sound slowly beeping under the truck...

...Beep...

...Beep...

...Beep...
