Ok again so sorry for not updating, I've been having A LOT going on in my life right now.
So again SO SO sorry! I tried to make this chapter longer, I made it to 1,157 words!. Hopefully the next one will be even longer.
I hope you enjoy this chapter and thank you so much for sticking around!*HUGS*
I opened my eyes to the darkness and screamed, my voice echoed around my small dark room. I had my fingers locked around the blankets, I was squeezing them so hard it hurt, but all that was going through my mind was the horror I just dreamed.
I heard footsteps and a light came flowing into my room, unmasking me,screaming my lungs out on my bed.
I looked up at the figure blackened against the bright light, the figure moved closer to me, it's footsteps echoing around the room as it hurried over to the light switch. Then it turned on the blazing bright light in my room, I looked up at the figure coming closer to me.
It was Donnie, his face was a mask of worry and dread, it looked like he had just woken up from a restless sleep.
He was followed by Mikey, Leo and Master Splinter their faces also sick with worry of why I was screaming.
I finally stopped screaming when my throat was raw and burning, I slowly looked up at Donnie and met his eyes again, "what do I tell him?" I asked myself.
"What's wrong Raph!" Donnie asked in a panicked tone of voice as he came closer to me, he rested his cold hand on my sweaty forehead. He checked my temperature then looked into my tired eyes.
"I..I had a dream" I rasped, my amber eyes wide with fright from the frighting scene I had seen only a few minutes ago.
"What could you dream about that would wake you up in a screaming fit?" Donnie asked me,his hand was still on my forehead. I shoved it away as soon as I realized his hand was still on me,he stepped back to listen to what I had to say.
"Yes my son, what is troubling your dreams?" Master Splinter asked me, he was frowning and looked horribly worried as he stood there, waiting for me to speak again.
"I don't remember. All I know is, it's about the person who tried to kill me!" I told them, I slowly looked up to watch their faces turn to horror and they stared at me for a few minutes.
"What do you remember my son?" Master Splinter pressed me for an answer as to what this all meant.
I looked up at him, then looked back down at my messy bed, the blankets were hanging off it and dangling to the floor. "I remember a dark room and.. and someone being there. I remember glowing red eyes and..and that's it?" I hoped maybe Sensei could help me with what I saw, but the look on his face told me otherwise.
I watched Master Splinter for a while before I looked to Leo for answers, since he seems to know everything. "It feels like I should know him! but for the life of me I can't remember!" I told him feeling hopeless,tired and mad at myself.
He looked at my face for a long time, thinking of what to say, then he replied.
"It could be anyone, maybe whoever did this to you will be revealed in your next dream?" he told me trying to make me feel better, but I didn't need him to make me feel better, I ain't no baby!.
"If no one can help then I'll just figure it out on my own then!" I thought to myself once I figured out no one could help me nor knew what to say to make sense of these odd dreams.
"Until then, try to sleep again. If you want I can stay in here with you" Leo asked me nicely, I could tell he was worried, but I didn't care. I don't need em or anybody else!.
"I ain't no baby Leo! no dream is gonna hurt me as long as I can help it!" I hissed up to him, my fists tightened around my blankets again, I gave Leo a glare.
"You're right Raph, you're not a baby I just thought you would like some company" He sighed as he started to slowly walk out of my room with his head hanging.
"Ya well, ya thought wrong! now I'm gonna go back to sleep." I yelled to him as he left my room then I turned to Mikey who was grinning at me and standing next to my bed staring at me.
"Night Raphy! Love you!" Mikey said with a grin, he started coming closer to give me a hug, but I waved him off.
"Night bone-head" I replied rolling my eyes as he left my room and went to his own for the night.
"Try to sleep my son, I shall send you good energy" Sensei told me then turned and slowly he walked out, his staff echoing against the stone floor of my room.
"Yeah you do that then" I mumbled to myself after Sensei had left.
"Raph do you need any sleeping pills? I hate to give you any, but you need sleep" Donnie said with worry caked on his face, he watched my every move making sure I wasn't sick or something.
"Nah Donnie, I'm fine I'll sleep just fine." I reassured him, feeling a small smile grow on my face, I quickly said.
"Now goodnight Donnie" I waved him away, making sure he didn't see that smile that was on my face a mere second ago.
He sighed in defeat and turned to walk out, but stopped and looked back at me.
"Night Raph, but if you think I'm letting this drop. I'm not" he said then went back to his own room.
"Ya still here" I called when I spotted Leo outside my door, he stared at me with his brown eyes.
Something about the way he looked at me, it made me feel weird, like I've seen that odd gaze somewhere other then now.
"Would ya stop starin at me and go to bed! everyone else is!" I yelled at him, I felt like throwing my pillow at him but what good would it do?.
"Yeah Raph alright, night bro. Try to get some rest" he smiled, still watching my every move.
"That's what I'm tryin to do, but some people wont leave!" I hissed at him and then I turned over on my side and stared at the wall.
"Alright I get it, I'm going" he laughed then he closed my door and walked away, his feet echoing down the long hall.
"Ok lets try this again, I'm going to sleep this time!" I told myself sternly as I fluffed my pillow and put my head down.
I pulled up the blankets up from the floor and slowly gave in to the calling darkness.
