Disclaim: I do not in any shape, way, or form own the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Mikey stared through the frosty living room window panels out into the vacant parking lot, or what should have been a parking lot but was covered entirely by snow that made the lot seem as if it never existed at all.

He stood there, mouth hanging open slightly, with eyes so dilated that you could barely make out his baby blue coloring on the rims of his irises. With every passing second, his muscles tensed at the sight before him. It was almost as if the cold outside was mocking him through the window, seeping through the cracks at the sides to invade his body and freeze anything it touched; veins, muscles, blood, etc.

There's no way… Mikey shakily thought to himself. He clenched his hands into fists, ready to bolt, fight, block, whatever that was needed to be done to protect himself if need be.

The day started out way too good anyways. Of course karma came knocking on Mikey's door or window in this case to ruin it all. Today had been the youngest brother's last day of school before winter break started. He kicked ass in his final exam and was let out of school by noon. He had a "Mikey Special," a sandwich that was named after him when the owner of the shop made the mistake of letting him create his own sandwich. He ate it there and left for home to prepare a good night's dinner for his brothers, knowing they'd be home later. Mikey came home and immediately made a beeline for the blinds blocking the glorious view of a winter wonderland just outside his small apartment complex which now he realized he should have just kept shut. With superglue. And maybe have added some boards for extra protection. It was the second time he looked out the window though that had him reeling in suspicious thoughts. Shadows of his building had casted over the lot and the kids he saw playing earlier outside where nowhere to be found. He just figured it was because of the dropping temperature and not what they created.

It was nearing six now, he'd been staring out the window for an hour without moving a single muscle. He couldn't risk it, not now. Not until his brothers came home and at least took his spot. Maybe we can divide into four shifts…Mikey trailed off in thought.

The winter wonderland outside had easily became a full force blizzard now, and Mikey could barely make out the figure through the snow storm.

He dared himself to take a couple of steps closer and kept his stare on the bulky snow piles, squinting in the process in order to focus better. He forced his clammy fingers to slide the window open a bit as it started to fog up from the heat of his apartment. He gripped the ledge and leaned forward, almost mesmerized by the scene in front of him. It was almost as if this figure was calling to him.

THERE! IT MOVED! Mikey thought with a gasp. This time for sure! There's no freaking way I'm imagining it! The guys will never believe this!

The figure outside moved closer towards the complex, Mikey swore. With a twisted buttoned smile and beady eyes that almost shone in reflection to the lot's lights; it glared ferociously.

Mikey flinched at the sight, forgetting to breathe as the wind continuously hit him in the face to the point where he felt numb to the core of his now probably iced over heart. His cheeks weren't even flushed from the cold atmosphere that was intruding on his heated apartment.

It's probably his doing…Mikey gulped, as he thought for a second as to why he couldn't get his limbs to function with the commands of his brain. To move and step back and to slam the window shut, pull the blinds down and lock up the door in every way possible to protect himself.

DO SOMETHING! His brain shouted at him, but Mikey still could not tear his gaze away. He was sure that the figure had managed to hold him captive even in the bearings of his own home through a simple but wicked smile.

Still lost in trance, Mikey failed to acknowledge the presence of his oldest brother walk through the door behind him.

"…was getting a few groceries for the weekend. I thought we could-Mikey?" Leo asked as he pondered why his brother hadn't said anything back to him let alone turn around. What is he doing?

Leo tried to look past his younger brother out the window but failed to see what captured Mikey's attention. Leo frowned, putting his groceries on the floor of the kitchen before walking over to his still struck brother.

Hesitantly, the eldest put his hand on Mikey's shoulder. He didn't expect the reaction he received.

Mikey jumped two feet straight into the air and stumbled when landing, causing himself to hit the window with his back before the force of it sent him to the floor. He whipped his head up to look at whoever scared the crap out of him, breathing heavily before realizing it was just Leo.

"Geez, Leo! Warn a brother first!" Mikey yelled out in frustration as he figuratively tried to collect his nerves that surely spilled out onto the floor with him.

Leo on the other hand continued to frown as he bent down to Mikey's eye level and asked him, "What's wrong Mikey?"

The eldest not so noticeably scanned his brother for some kind of hidden injuries until Mikey figured out what he was doing and put a hand up to stop him.

"It's…it's not like that Leo," he shakily let out.

Leo felt the beginnings of fear grip his heart as he observed the form of his youngest brother; pale and shaking slightly. Leo knew what that meant. He was scared. Of what though?

The eldest took one look around the room and couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. He couldn't sense anyone else in their place like a thief either. But, Mikey had been looking outside…

Leo's eyes drifted up to the opened window making mental note to remind his brother later to not let the heat out as this was the time of the year that the gas bill tripled.

"Leo," Mikey started, drawing his big brother's attention back to him. "You're never going to believe what's out there."

If Leo's frown could have deepened any further it might have hit the ground he was still kneeling on. His brother looked at him wide eyed, panting for the breath he'd lost moments ago.

"What is it Mikey?" Leo sternly asked, shifting into defensive mode.

"C'mere! Look!" Mikey yelled out, scrambling to get back up to his feet, pulling Leo up with him and over to the opened window. He shifted over to the closed part of the window so that his brother could get a better look at to what he was pointing at.

"You see that?!"

Leo continued to peer into the dark as the night had finally fallen upon them. He searched left to right, right to left, up and down then vise versa a few times before looking back at Mikey whose finger was smashed up against the glass.

"Mikey, I don't see anything," he said in a calm, patient matter.

"It's right there! Look!" Mikey said, still not taking his eyes away from the figure.

Leo looked again but couldn't for his life see what Mikey was talking about.

"There's nothing out there but the lot and a snowman."

"YES! EXACTLY! Just keep watching it! You'll see what I mean!"

The snowman? Why would his brother make him stare at a snowman for so long? Was it another prank? It didn't look like one judging by the way Mikey was behaving. He still seemed absolutely terrified and panicky. Leo did as his brother instructed though and stared through the storm at the snowman for what it seemed like several minutes.

"Mikey, would you please tell me what's going on?" Leo started, leaning back away from the window to look at his brother's trembling form. "You're starting to worry me. Is somebody out there or something?"

Mikey scrunched up his face in frustration as he ignored his brother for a moment to figure out why the figure stopped moving. Didn't he want to show off his creepy vibes and talent to his older brother? He sure looked cocky enough to do so.

What the?!

"It's not moving anymore."

"What isn't? Mikey, you better start telling me what's going on right now," Leo lectured, crossing his arms over his chest, his crystal colored eyes staring pointedly into Mikey's baby blues to get him to start talking.

Mikey looked through the window again and still saw no movement. He looked back to his awaiting and distressed brother before re-pointing his figure out to the snowman that sat there lifelessly.

"I swear on my life that it moves."

Leo blinked.

"What?"

"It moves Leo! That snowman out there moves every time I lose my focus on it or look somewhere else!" Mikey frantically yelled out trying to get his brother who looked at him like he was psycho, Rude, to believe him. Mikey knew it was a ridiculous thing to claim, but, "I swear on my life, Leo, that snowman out there moves closer and closer every time! Not only that, but he's been glaring at me with this creepy twisted satanic smile! I-it's like he's challenging me to go out there and face him and all of a sudden I just can't move and he's still just patronizing me as I just stand here and do nothing- I couldn't even get myself to just close the blinds Leo! There's something seriously wrong here!"

Mikey finished while panting, clenching his hands into fists again, and staring desperately into his brother's concerned gaze, willing and pleading Leo to believe him. He knew it sounded absolutely out of this world crazy but it was true! Leo had to believe! Had to believe him and do something about it because that's what big brothers are for and Mikey really needed his brother to help him take care of this problem! It was already going to give him nightmares for crying out loud!

Leo, on the other hand, didn't know what to say. Or more like couldn't comprehend what his brother had just told him in that rush of words.

He opened his mouth to talk and then shut it again when no words came out. Mikey truly looked like he'd seen a ghost.

Leo decided to at least humor his baby brother and look back out to the snowman. Good thing Raph wasn't there or Mikey would never hear the end of it. He still didn't see the snowman move.

Mikey looked hopeful too as Leo looked back once more.

"So…let me get this straight."

Mikey nodded as a way to tell his brother to continue on.

"You're telling me…you've found what? The abominable snowman?" Leo asked, uncertainly, skepticism bleeding into his words.

Mikey cringed at the thought of how stupid that sounded but nodded slowly nonetheless.

"Yeah, pretty much! I'm telling you that's exactly what's out there!"

"Mikey…" Leo started but stopped at the sight of his youngest brother's shoulders slumping in disappointment, his baby blue eyes finding a spot at the ground to stare at instead.

"We'll get rid of it first thing tomorrow morning. Whoever built it will probably figure the storm blew it away or something anyways, okay?" Leo asked with a smile that melted Mikey's heart with pure brotherly compassion and warmth.

It was okay if Leo didn't really believe him. But Leo believed him enough for it to be a problem and he was really thankful for that.

"Thank you Leo." Mikey crushed his brother into a huge hug which Leo naturally returned, running his fingers through Mikey's tousled blonde hair.

Leo reached over to close the window and shut the blinds.

"Now, how about I help you with dinner? Don and Raph will be here soon." Leo suggested, knowing it would be a good way to distract the youngest from what was going on.

The shadows are probably just playing tricks on him, Leo concluded.

"Y-Yeah, sounds good. Oh and Leo?" Mikey asked, leaning away from the hug to look up at his brother.

But Leo already knew what he was going to ask because apparently he gained some kind of psychic powers within the last few minutes and said, "I won't say a word. I promise."

Mikey felt better already knowing his oldest brother would always protect him in more ways than one and no matter how ridiculous the situation was.

Later that night Leo went to shut the blinds in his own room after flipping the light switch off.

He looked once more across the lot to peer at the abominable snowman his little brother was so concerned about.

He let out a small shaky breath as the exact snowman now appeared right below his window with the sickening gut wrenching smile Mikey mentioned earlier.

Leo glared at it for a moment after regaining his composure and continued to shut the blinds. He then pulled on his snow jacket and twin katana blades as he set out to destroy the thing.

Better safe than sorry anyways.

End.

Hey all! I have decided to write a story everyday for 25 days until Christmas! This is for your entertainment and to help better my writing skills! Most stories will probably be Mikey centric but definitely not all of them! There will be no slash, only brother heart to heart fluff and other adventures. Some will continue to be human AU and most of the others will continue in turtle form!

At first I was going to get one of those advent calendars, you know where you get to eat a piece of chocolate each day before Christmas arrives? Well I went to three stores and no one had any! I was going to write drabbles and stories based on those pieces of chocolate but I had to improvise!

Therefore I asked my roommate what the first thing came to mind was when I said Christmas and she said "Abominable Snowman," haha! and now there you have it! I hope you have all enjoyed reading the story and I encourage you to review as it also helps me as a writer know what you thought! I will be posting again tomorrow but in the meantime have a great day!

P.S. I know I skipped December 1st so I will be adding two chapters in one day (probably on Saturday) to make up for it.
