Description
It will be preceded by fimbulveir, the winters of winters.
Three such winters will follow each other,
Snow covering the earth
With no summers in between…

Conflicts and feuds
Will break out
Even between families,
And all morality
Will disappear…

This is the beginning
Of the end…

I walked far away that day… But dude! That was because of Leo.
The snow covered all the place, the trees looked freak and every sound could be dangerous.
I still walking when a rock hit my foot and I couldn't avoid the pain…
Stubbing your toes is the worst things a ninja can do…
Stupid rock… Stupid snow… Stupid Leo!!!
He had been strange those days. As his brother I wanted to help him, but he was our leader… He was the only one who could ever help me.
Strange songs came through the forest, I praid that horror movies weren't real.
The sound surrounded me and I tried to protect myself while I was trying to see what was.
"H-Hello?" My voice were useless, when I turned my look behind I saw the most horrible monster I ever had seen.

-

I suppose that it wasn't my style, but my brothers needed me, Donni was worried about Leo and Mikey. So I drove my motorbike and I let that the strength wind surrounded my body, it felt great go that fast.
"Any sign of them Raph?" I worn my Nightwatcher costume but with a new invention of Donnie, thanks to him I could communicated with him in my little journey.
"No" How far I went? I don't know and I prefer don't remember it. I get annoyed of that "Couldn't even find their footprints on the roof-top"
"Casey and April are still on that trip so we can't ask them" Sometimes I thought that Donnie worked too hard for himself "If only their shell cells had a signal I could call or track them to where they are"
"Hey! We still have a pair of eyes and ears to look for 'em" Even if that didn't work, I just tried to calm down my bro, after all, we had many troubles those days I wouldn't like that he get them too "Don't worry"
"How can you say that like it's no big deal?!" I'm not the best for it, his big brain was something that I couldn't deny "People without homes have froze to death out here Raph! And the weather isn't getting any better"
"Cut it out Don"
"I can't cut it out Raphael!" I knew that the things could become uglier if I didn't explain myself "You don't care what happens to them do you?"
"Hey…" When I thought that I could do it… A strange monster with a breaking face and blood falling close to his eyes came to me.
I tried to stop my motorbike… But I don't have luck, the wheels moved on the ice and I fell.
"SHIT!"
That sounded hard, even Donatello listened it.
"Raph! Raph are you ok?!" I couldn't hear him… 'Coz I was on the snow… Without any move "Raph? RAPHAEL?!"

-

The forest looked calm even for a turtle, but the snow didn't show any sign of Mikey. I was too worried, I had to carry for him, I had to train him… I was such a fool.
"His tracks are too covered to trace now" My thought surround me lonely, but they didn't get me the answer that I needed "Dammit, what's wrong with me?" I knew that I had been strange because of my mind… I was something that didn't work inside me… But just with Mikey "How could I have done that to him?!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The scream awaked my body and I recognized that young voice.
"MICHELANGELO!!!"
I ran as fast I could, I didn't know that if it was my despair what followed me to Mikey… Or something that told me that I had to protect him no matter how.
In a clear I found his unconscious body covered by the snow.
"Mikey!!!" I take him with me trying to awaked him, but he was in a deep sleep "MIKE!"
My senses stopped me. My hand found the katana behind me, ready to cut whatever thing. But it was strange, the last thing that I remembered it was a thing with incredible teethes like swords.
Care of my brother… That was the only thing in my mind… When I let the sword out.

-

I heard the noise but I wasn't really sure about what happened. The snow covered the motorbike but I worried when I didn't see any signal of Raphael. He breaks my head when he is so tempered.
"Raphael!!!" I thought that he could hear me "Ra…" And it worked when I saw something dark letting the snow behind "Raph! Are you ok?"
"I'm fine Don" I get better when I could hear his deep voice on my ears "But… I saw…" I worried… He was looking at something on the white street, something that broke his mind.
"You saw what?" I tried to followed his view… The place of the accident, something told me that he saw something that scared him.
"Nothin'" But if he didn't want to tell me I couldn't say nothing.
I touched his arm when he was up, but he fell again and I heard like if his bones broke.
"I said I'm fine! Stop pokin' proddin' me" Tempered as always, that time he felt it on his chest, that's when my mind said: "I get enough".
"Yeah, like I'm going to believe that after hearing you make that sound" I undo his jacket to see what he get and what produced that sound.
"Ya think with all the fighting we've been having, you could careless on what happened to me" Even when he was saying that no senses… I thought that he looks cute, I couldn't be mad at him, even he said those things before the accident.
"I may have been getting mad at you a lot lately but… I still care"
"More than you'd like to, huh?"
"What?" I hope that my face didn't turns red because of his comment.
"Nothing…" It was half true…
"Come on" When I checked him carefully, I thought that it would be the best time to go "Let's get back to the battle shell. You'll be ok"
He tried to up once again but this time sounded his foot and he couldn't walk… I had to help him.
"Well… Besides the possibility of a slightly injured foot you should've been ok" In any case, I wanted to be ok with my brothers, so I thought the best thing was to take apologizes to him "I'm… Sorry about snapping at you earlier. I was…"
"It's ok, you're worried about them, I understand" He was honest "But hey… I know Mike doesn't have the smarts, but he's got instinct. He'll get out of the cold.
"Unless something happens to him" Images came through my mind wondering about what could happen that Mikey really care to run away like that… And Leo falling in the shadows "I don't know how bad their fight was…" That's what he told me… A bad fight… "All Leo said was that it was `just a bad fight´ before taking off to apologize to Mike"
Something called our attention: my shell cell.
"The shell cell's working!" I hold it and I could hear Leo's voice through it.
"Don?"
"Yes Leo?"
"I need you to get the battle shell to pick Mike and I up at the upper west side of the river"
"Already have it you guys ok?" The silent came for a while until he said it "Leo?"
"Mike's not looking so good…"

-

Anything was right in that place, even we get troubles and I didn't want to see Donnie as that. But when our battle shell stopped close to that forest… I knew that everything could change for us.
"You need to stay off that leg for awhile" Donnie opened the door and he told me that, he had hurry and because of my big bro Leo… "I'll go help Leo"
"Whatever, just get goin'" I didn't want to looked like that to him, but I suppose that it was my mood and I couldn't change it for him.
When I looked at the window I saw Leo worried about Mike… I decided to forgive him for this time… But I also saw… Animal footprints…

-

I still can't believe what I had done… Ever since that day we found him hanging by a thread… It shook me with a fear I was unfamiliar with. From then on I kept pushing him extra training sessions. It still shakes me up when I think of it. He looked dead that night…
And that day he ended up looking the same… I shouldn't have pushed him…
"I'm sick and tired of these sessions Leo!" I still can remember his voice in the trainings "Give me a break already"
But that fear still clung to me.
And that's just the beginning of the day when everything changed between Michelangelo and me.
He was tired and the air wasn't enough for his breath, he tried to do it hardly.
"Pick up your nunchakus now" But to the fear it wasn't enough "We're not done"
"NO!!!" He lost his nerves that day "You've been having me work practically non-stop for weeks, and for me to work that much is insane! It's really starting to wear down on my nerves dude!" He let me behind and tried to go away "I'm outta here. All work and no play makes me a cranky turtle" I was faster than him, so I forgot his movie joke and I frowned him.
"Weapons now…" He made a ridiculous joke of vampires putting his fingers and making a cross.
"Ok I know I made a huge mistake there trying to stop that gang of purple dragons on my own, but I'm not going to make that mistake again ok?!" I take mad because he reminds me that.
"No Michelangelo, you don't understand yet"
"What's not to understand?! That you've become an obsessed training sergent?!" He started to talk like a bird "Really Leo I don't think you understand when I say the words –I'm tired- TIRED! Do I have to say it more slowly for you?!"
I tried to keep my mind level from the mere. Thought of that night… I couldn't focus on what I needed to tell Mike.
"Honestly I don't see how you could…" He couldn't end the phrase because of me…
Something came over me… For some reason I couldn't stop myself… I could feel his heart racing.
My mouth embraced his tongue, getting his body on the wall. I touched his skin slowly, exploring every piece of his mouth with my tongue, feeling how his heart goes faster and our tongues playing sexuality.
My touches get his face, embraces it, his eyes were close so I thought that he was enjoying it… And I wanted to get closer. But he ran away when Donnie came.
"Hey Mikey did you…" Before he could asked Mikey ran away from us "Mike?! What happened?"
I fell on the wall, I couldn't look at my brother knowing what I did. Why I did it? Was it the fear? I wasn't sure… But my brother was waiting for an answer, the only thing that I could say was:
"Just a bad fight…"
Suddenly I understood my feeling for Michelangelo… But what kind of brother would I be? I couldn't have those feelings for him… It… It's just not right…
My voice became in a whisper when I definitely fell in the dark
"I'm sorry Mike"

-

Finally we came back to home… But I knew that something wasn't right with them. So I take the brave to up to his room and see Leonardo taking care of Michelangelo in his bed. That signs was something beautiful and kind coming from him and his serious soul.
"Ahem…" I introduced myself on the room, but Leo kept his eyes on Mikey "I thought I'd find you here… Didn't you say you'd be meditating?" He didn't tell me anything, he was seriously worried "Don't worry Leo, Michelangelo could never hold a grudge against anyone for long"
"I'm not so sure now…" I felt better hearing his voice, but he wasn't happy, it was something more inside his heart that I couldn't decode "Everything hasn't been right for a long time" I understood him.
"I know what you mean. After Mikey took off from your fight, it got me thinking on how much we've all been fighting with each other lately…" Memories of good times with my family came… But unfortunately, they became black and turned in darkness memories of us fighting or taking arguments "We've gotten aggressive, I don't blame Casey and April for not wanting to visit us so much. We become so… Uninviting" That was the true word for us "I'm assuming it's from all the stress we've accumulated with winter still going on for three seasons straight. Especially with the rise of crime and murder rates that we've tried to help keep down since it's become to much of the police alone to handle"
"Crime has been keeping us on the edge. But it has slowed down over the past few years"
"Which is exactly why I think it's the perfect time for us to take a vacation to release all this tension" It was strange, we taking a vacation but we needed or we had to exploted "I haven't been able to focus on any of my projects because of it. With all this lack of good weather and constant fighting, it's not wonder our chemical balance is thrown off"
"Chemical balance?" That was strange to him, all my brothers thought that I was smart and freak… Or that's what I thought.
"It's what sets how we feel" When I explained to him I came close to the door "Well, I'm going to go check up on Raph. Since you seem to be the one who's most out of it, Raph and I had talked to Splinter about having a vacation and he's agreed to it" Leon smiled, our was really kind with us "So we're searching up a place to stay that'll be at least… Semi-warm. Try not to stress yourself to death before then"
I let him wondering if my conversation works… Leo was the only one who had to show me that.

-

I couldn't stop to think about that… Just a chemical balance… That's all… I couldn't possibly harbor such feelings for Mike… Even I tried to touch his warm skin again… But something stopped me, my hand trembled and I hold it back.
Hopefully he could understand… My feelings…

"Yeah, like I'm going to believe that after hearing you make that sound" I undo his jacket to see what he get and what produced that sound.
"Ya think with all the fighting we've been having, you could careless on what happened to me" Even when he was saying that no senses… I thought that he looks cute, I couldn't be mad at him, even he said those things before the accident.

"Yes Leo?"
"I need you to get the battle shell to pick Mike and I up at the upper west side of the river"
"Already have it you guys ok?" The silent came for a while until he said it "Leo?"
"Mike's not looking so good…"

-

Anything was right in that place, even we get troubles and I didn't want to see Donnie as that. But when our battle shell stopped close to that forest… I knew that everything could change for us.
"You need to stay off that leg for awhile" Donnie opened the door and he told me that, he had hurry and because of my big bro Leo… "I'll go help Leo"

"I'm sick and tired of these sessions Leo!" I still can remember his voice in the trainings "Give me a break already"
But that fear still clung to me.
And that's just the beginning of the day when everything changed between Michelangelo and me.
He was tired and the air wasn't enough for his breath, he tried to do it hardly.
"Pick up your nunchakus now" But to the fear it wasn't enough "We're not done"

My touches get his face, embraces it, his eyes were close so I thought that he was enjoying it… And I wanted to get closer. But he ran away when Donnie came.
"Hey Mikey did you…" Before he could asked Mikey ran away from us "Mike?! What happened?"
I fell on the wall, I couldn't look at my brother knowing what I did. Why I did it? Was it the fear? I wasn't sure… But my brother was waiting for an answer, the only thing that I could say was:
"Just a bad fight…"
Suddenly I understood my feeling for Michelangelo… But what kind of brother would I be? I couldn't have those feelings for him… It… It's just not right…
My voice became in a whisper when I definitely fell in the dark
"I'm sorry Mike"
