Short Story Raph x Leo When Raphael makes a mistake on patrol one night will his family ever forgive him? Or more importantly, will he ever forgive himself? These characters do not belong to me :) Warning! I wrote this story in 2016...when I was 14, so the grammar is probably not very good.

Set after 'Slash and Destroy.' Slash is out for revenge against Raphael for betraying him and he has decided the best way to hurt the turtle in red is through his brothers. Slash has his eyes set on one brother in particular and he will stop at nothing to even the score. ⭐️Nominated for the 2017 TMNT Universal Reader's Choice Awards⭐️

"Leo..." I gasp as he kicks me to the ground and I lay flat on the floor. Hands outstretched, arms and legs heavy, but head even heavier. I lift my head just for it to drop back down in defeat as my opponent kicks me in the gut, winding me and pulls me back up to my knees by the ends of my red mask. With one Katana pressed to my throat, the other begins to pierce my plastron, very slowly, very painfully.

(This is the sequel to the LeoxRaph tmnt fanfic "Don't Hurt Me".) It's been a year since the great battle of our very lives... The battle to win back Raphael. It's been a year since he became conscious once more about who he was... A year since he started remembering. I thought having him back would be the best thing for my family and I. Everyone was so broken, so torn when I killed him... I know it's all my fault, it'll always be my fault, no matter what he or anyone else says, even Master Splinter can't convince me otherwise... I've brought tyranny, torment, and endless cycles of agony to everyone around me, and most of all to the one person I love most... Raphael. (This takes place about a year after the first book ends, following their journey once more, and the struggles are far form over. Will Leo's kiss be strong enough to keep bringing the red-banded turtle back? Can Leonardo live with himself for what he's done? Read to find out what's happened over the last year, and what continues to happen in the turtle's lives...)

Voices. Voices are the most powerful source to some, especially if the voice that speaks has no physical form. Raph is known as the tough, hot tempered turtle. But what if Raph is just full of buried fear and cries for help. Every time he explodes with anger, it's just a simple yet strong word trying to escape for ears around to hear... "Help" {DISCLAIMER ~ I do not own TMNT}

Raph's been in deep depression since a very young age. He never recieved attention therefor he uses his anger to get a small talk at least. What happens when one day he's had enough.
