Our Little Miracle (LeoxRaph Story) - Completed

Chapter 8

April gasped out-loud alerting everyone. 

“What is it, April!?” Donnie asked out of concern, coming up beside her in case there was trouble. 

“Tigerclaw is in trouble!” April said loudly. Her eyes glowed white as she tried to connect with something to find out what was happening, and soon she had visual. “It’s the foot! They have Tigerclaw, Alopex and another human down near the mighty mutanimals warehouse. They need help!” April exclaimed, coming out of her vision. Donnie steadied her when she stumbled slightly. 

“Go! I will watch over Raphael” Splinter commanded. The three brothers looked at the curled up Raphael on the sofa sound asleep compared to the rest of the world. “Leo the quicker we leave, the quicker you get back!” Donnie whispered, Leo nodded leaving a peck on Raph’s forehead and wrapping a blanket around his mate. Leo smiled down at him before he left the lair following his brothers, April, Casey and the mighty mutanimals. 

Not long after they left the lair, Splinter looked down at Raphael on the sofa and sighed. “I wish I could take back all the abuse I put you through, I know you will never forgive me. But just so you know, I will protect your hatchlings with my life. I wish I could go back in time but then I believe you wouldn’t have turned into who you are today. I love my sons and…” Something made Splinter come to a halt in his speech. Turning around Splinter gasped when there were a dozen of black wolves standing opposite him. “Who are you?” Splinter demanded, placing himself in front of the unconscious Raphael who seemed to be waking up very slowly. 

“My name is Acronix” a human male stepped forward from within the mutant wolves. “We are the Crux Clan and we are here for Raphael,” Acronix explained. Splinter instantly recognised the man due to his stance from the other day in the truck. “Why do you want him?” Splinter asked, taking a glance around the room at the number of wolves, he counted 16 and one human. Splinter knew he would be in trouble. “Revenge on Saki” Acronix announced before creating a hand symbol to signal ‘attack’. Hamato Yoshi had been in so many fights and battles over the course of his life, he knew from the start this one would be difficult. As he had to watch Raphael at all times and fight off his opponents. Using everything he had been taught, the legendary master Yoshi attacked with all his strength and skills to defend his son’s mate. 

Unbeknownst to Hamato Yoshi the blades the wolves carried were coated in poison and everytime Splinter touched one, the poison would settle on his skin before burning in it. Out of nowhere Splinter began to weaken, he soon found himself on his knees trying to breathe but found it impossible with the amount of poison that had entered his body. “Stop!” Acronix order made any wolves back down and put their blades away. Acronix violently grabbed Splinter’s chin and looked him in the eye, “I would congratulate you but it seems you have lost”. Splinter weakly lifted his hand but soon found a boot connecting with his head. Before he drifted off into the darkness he heard, “Grab Raphael, we have to meet our contact down near the docks in four hours, rough him up a bit will ya”. No! Splinter inwardly cringed at the thought of the pregnant teen being in danger. 

Raphael understands that pain is inevitable but did it have to hurt so much? He loved the fact he had managed to get pregnant, he hated the fact that he was comfy and someone, he blamed Leo, was moving him for some odd reason. He snuggled closer to the chest unconsciously only to gasp when his head came into contact with fur. A chuckle made his eyes widen, that was not Leo. The stubborn hothead opened his eyes to find himself in the arms of a wolf, “WHAT! WHO!” Raphael shouted, flipping out of the wolf's arms. Nausea soon took over his body, arms grabbed him, pulling him into arms. He sank into them before realisation kicked in, just where was he? Raph looked up when he heard a chuckle, “You!” Raphael cried out recognising the man from the truck. Raphael backed away in fear, wait what! He wasn’t scared or was he? Raph couldn’t work it out. His thoughts were all over. “Young one settle down, you are stressing too much…” Raph ignored the voice, focusing on himself, he knew a panic attack was on its way but a pinch in his arm and his body slumping forward sent his mind into darkness. Raphael groaned when arms caught him. Acronix chuckled, looking at his second in command who held the unconscious teenager in his arms.
