"They're over here! We need help!" Voices echoed through the mass destruction.
"We found them under here, quickly! Master Leonardo!"
Your vision blurred, making it hard to see anything behind the dust and smoke that was filling the air around you.
You could barely figure out the figures moving around you, pulling apart the broken pieces of the collapsed building that had fell distinctly onto you and Donnie after the Krang discovered and found you.
Or something simply worse...
Everything felt... wrong, like you weren't supposed to watch this after your death in this memory or nightmare.
Leo.. or some should say Master Leonardo, Donnie's twin brother.
You forgot how tired he looked.
You saw him kneeling in the rubble, his arms protectively wrapping around Donnie's broken figure, taking him out of the tight space.
Your heart instantly dropped at the mer sight of Donnie.
Donnie's condition was horrible.. His body is barely holding together. His soft shell exposed, cracks and wounds ran through like scars of a over grown bear.
It made your stomach twist in a bad way.
His Google shattered, hanging loosely around his neck and his clothes were torn to pieces.
His blood dripping everywhere.
His hands. His torn up clothes and the ground beneath him.
And his eyes were fully closed. Now you started to feel sick. Because you remember how you held his hand, begging him to stay awake.
"Donnie.." Your voice slightly echoed through your head. Like you were trying to get him to wake up. Standing right in front of Leo who had Donnie in his arms.
You touched his cheek, hoping you can say your final goodbye.
But he didn't move. Not one bit.
You looked up to see Leo's expression, it was something you've never seen before in your past life. The leader who always had something planned, even time to joke around from time to time.
...Who was now terrified. Terrified that he lost his twin brother.
"Come on, Donnie... stay with me.." Leo's voice cracked, you then saw Leo turn to see Raph picking up your body and you could see the horror in his face.
Your face furrowed in confusion until you looked over, you're blood ran cold, your eyes widening at the sight of you.
Raph holding your injured and torn up body in his arms. His arms carefully picking your broken body away from the weakage.
You could see your own body.. Your face covered in blood, messy cuts and bruises that covered your skin completely. Your arms and legs looked wrong in all places.
You looked so small.. so fragile.
You could see the shift on Raph's face as he shattered at the sight of you. His grip tightened only slightly but not enough to make you crumble.
The big guy was afraid to break you even more than you already were. His voice was barely a whisper.
Leo then ordered everyone to move before the Krang finds them, Raph carried your body away as he followed behind Leo.
Their voices fade away in the distant.
The yelling. The crying and the complete chaos.. everything then faded into darkness. Suddenly you gasped. Your eyes snapping open as you desperately tried to gasp for air.
Your chest is rising and falling in uneven breath.
You then again inhaled to only choke on your spit, immediately sitting up as you coughed. the blanket that was resting loosely around your shoulder fell and slid down to your lap.
Your entire body shook. You were cold. You were shivering while you tried to take the vision out of your head.
Your hand gripped the blanket tightly.
You didn't want to think about it. Not now.
Shaking your head quickly to try and push the images away, then you remember. Donnie.
You started to look a head to realize you were safe in Donnie room and sitting on his bed.
Your heart dropped for a second.
"No.." Your voice was small and groggy from just waking up.
You then moved too quickly, your hand slipped beneath the blanket as you tried to get up, causing your balance to become unbalanced as you fell.
You hit the floor, landing on your side.
A small groan escaped your lips as your hand reached up to your head to rub it. Letting out a little "Ow.." Sitting up and staying there for a moment, annoyed at yourself on why you just did that.
But the worry was still lingering. The room was eerily silent or maybe it was because of your ears started to ring.
You need to find Donnie. Make sure he's okay...
You pushed yourself up, your legs trembling under your upper weight as you looked around. Your head thinking of many possibilities.
You saw him. A few meters away at his desk working away with something.
He was sitting, typing away on his computer, surrounded by holographic screens. The gentle hum of machine filled your ears, the sound of his typing and the small movement of his hands as he worked.
That calmed your nerves a little. But your mind still betrayed you to think this was a memory of him. Only for a split second, your vision blurred to show Donnie injured.
You let out a weak exhale, then shook your head. Telling yourself that Donnie here was okay. Quickly you made your way to him.. A little too quickly.
Your legs wobbled, you barely managed to take a few steps as your body protested against your wills of making your way to Donnie. You stumbled as you let out a little whimper.
You then made it to the desk, holding yourself upright while standing beside Donnie who seemed to notice, his head turning to look at you.
His eyes immediately find yours and his expression changed. It showed concern even though his mask and his drawn on eyebrows were on displayed.
But you knew he was concerned.
Pushing away from his desk as his chair moved on its wheels. "Dear, you should be sleeping.. you need to..."
And before he could stand up or finished his sentence, you instantly hugged him. This caused him to freeze on the spot "Rest..." he finished in surprise.
His arms awkwardly hovered over your body, this wasn't something he expected out of the ordinary. Usually you would ask him for a hug. But this..
Slowly but surely, he wrapped his arms around your trembling body. "Hey... What's wrong?" He's voice was soft, gentle even. "Shit Darlin', you're freezing.." He whispered.
Your grip tightened on his purple hoodie he always wears, like if you were to let go... he would disappear..
Donnie noticed something, the shaking, the fear, the exhaustion, the current nightmares that start to be the same. He had a thought but didn't want to push.
He lets out a sigh, resting his chin on top of your head.
"Nightmare again?" He asks, his hand rubbing up and down on your back to calm your senses down.
You let out a weak hum, giving him a nod as well as he stayed quiet after that.
You blinked, then looked up at him.
"I'll let you stay with him while I work, it would be better that way." he suggested, smiling down at you. Leaning down to kiss your forehead.
"I still have work to finish. Come. Sit."
He then patted his lap, you awkwardly stood there until he grabbed a hold of your waist and lifted you up without hesitation. You yelped as you were placed on his lap, your legs on either side of his hips as he turned back to his desk.
You immediately made yourself comfortable, letting out a tired sigh as he started to type away again.
"You realize this is highly inefficient, correct?" He speaks softly.
You mumbled under your breath against his neck. "Don't care." You nuzzled closer to feel his skin. The coldness of the tip of your nose made him shiver.
Nearby, he spotted a blanket and picked it up to place it on you. He saw your expression softening, smiling as he went back to work once again.
The second time, the nightmare never stopped. It kept coming to haunt you like it was your fault that happened.
Even if you were deeply asleep, it comes back. Even when you close your eyes just a bit to get some shut eye, instantly get the image of Donnie dead body in front of you.
You were always back there. At that exact moment. And no matter how many times you can tell yourself that your safe and alive, even if your still confused on how.
Your mind never stops thinking about it.
Time and time again. It never stops.
One night, you were sleeping, your breathing slow and calm. Donnie decided it was finally time to head to bed, leaving his work desk littered with his projects as he made his way to his bed.
Brushing some hair out of your face as your face scrunches up. He let out a soft chuckle and took off his mask, placing it nearby on a bedside table. He took everything else off and shuffled himself behind you.
A few moments later, you were twitching and shuffling a little bit. Donnie was in deep sleep until you moved away from him as you gasped for air.
Reaching up to touch your neck. Sweat clinging onto your skin as you try to calm down, try to stop thinking about it. About all of it.
Your breath turns into wheezes, your body and hands shaking violently. Your breathing becomes uneven and unstable as you sobbed.
'Fuck.. breath... BREATH!... stop crying, it was just a dream. You're...'
"You're okay.." A hushed voice shushed you, immediately entrancing you out of your panic zone. Donnie was holding you against him, soft strokes up and down your back.
You were trying to process everything.
You hadn't even realized you woke him up. But he was right there, holding you tightly against him.
His chin resting on top of your head, like he always does. His body surrounding you, he usually is never the type to reach out and hug people out of the ordinary.
He wasn't someone who would show affectionate so openly like this but he didn't care at this very moment.
"Don.." Your voice spoke weakly, almost like you're about to crack. That made his grip tighten slightly around you.
"I'm here... not going anywhere." He mutters against your hair.
Your hands instinctively took a hold of his biceps which was wrapped around your body. Then only did you realize how big he was compared to the Donnie you lost.
The other Donnie was more thinner, weaker but somewhat still powerful.
But now, he was more healthier, more broader... stronger. Practically covering your tiny body with his like a battle shell.
You let out a squeak of a whimper, tears instantly filling your eyes as you tucked your head against his plastron as he never let go of you while you quietly sobbed.
"Let it out.." He continued to rub your back that later turns to petting your head.
Sooner or later, you calmed down, your cries turning into small hiccups until you fell asleep against him, cheek squished on his plastron as he remained where he was until he knows you were fully asleep.
Keeping his hold on you, he carefully and slowly lays back down but with you placed on top of him. Keeping his eyes focused on your face to see any discomfort, his hand brushing your hair as your breathing was back to normal. He could feel your heartbeat slowing down. Carefully he wiped away the remaining tears.
'Good..' He sighs quietly.
Now placing the huge blanket on top of you and him, his arms never moved. Still tightly wrapped around you to keep you secure and safe. Donnie was still keeping an eye out until he eyes slowly started to drop.
And that was the time when you were fully good at a good amount of sleep.
