Rising of the Moon Ch.5
Chapter 5
Leonardo was sitting on his bed as he shined his blades. Looking at his reflection. All the scares that was made on his skin was from a Vampire. The first sight of him they would immediately attack. Then there was Raphael, who just wanted to talk to him. He wasn't going to fight him. Didn't want to. But he attacked Raph first. 
'Is there such a thing as a different Vampire?'
Shaking the thought aside for now. He was sure he was going to see him the next night on patrol. Though he was not going to allow him to take his mind off of his true task. Killing all vampires. No one has exception. 
He soon fled from his home immediately after the sun went down. The moon was high up and the stars were shinning bright. He stood on the roof with binoculars. Trying to locate a hiding spot that a group of Vampires could possibly be at.
"You still won't take my suggestion, will you?" That familiar rough voice came from behind him. Leo sighed and put the glasses down.
"What do you want, Raph?" He asked ruddily.
"Geez, a simple hello would suffice."
"Hello Raphael. Now goodbye. I got work to do." Raph rolled his eye. Walking over to him and grabbing the binoculars from his hands. Leo growled unsheathing a sword and pointing it at Raph. The emerald turtle raised his hands in surrender.
"What do you want from me?" He demanded.
"How about a simple explanation of why your making your job harder?" He said with bluntness in his voice.
"What's it to you?"
"Nothing. Just want to know." Leo sighed and sheathed the weapon.
"Personally, I just don't trust you. Never have, and never will." He snatched the binoculars back from him. 
"I don't blame you at that part. But come on, if I wanted to kill you I would have already done it." Leo sighed. 
"Fine. If it will get you off my back. I will go to this place your so sure your vampire buddy's are at." Raph smiled brightly. Grabbing his hand and dragging the turtle behind. Leonardo growled and tried to pull out of the grip but Raphael wouldn't budge.
"Raph, can you let go of me?"
"Nope, I don't trust you enough to let you go. For all I know you'll stay behind." The turtle snarled but further more didn't argue. 
They walked for a few minutes. But to Leo it felt like an eternity. All he wanted to do was get away from this emerald terrapin and finish his job. He didn't need any help. Especially when that help came from another vampire. They soon arrived to the docks.
"Alright. Where are they?" He crossed his arms over his chest.
"Ssssh. Over here." He whispered. Hopping off the building roof and sneaking over to a shack.
"Why are we whispering?"
"Because, in case you didn't do your vampire study's. Vampires have excellent hearing. As well as an acute sense of smell. And razor sharp eyes." The emerald turtle took out something from his pocket and started sprinkling it on Leo.
"Hey! What are you doing!?" Raph clamped his hands over the leaf green turtles mouth.
"Shut up. Geez, you want to get caught?" Leonardo growled and pushed his hand away from his mouth.
"What was that for?" He whispered.
"It makes your smell subtle. They can't smell you as easily." 
"What are we fighting werewolves now?" Leo said sarcastically. Raph chuckled and rolled his eye.
"Don't be ridiculous, werewolves aren't real." Raphael grabbed his hand once again as they snuck stealthily over to the shack. Opening the door. Leo swallowed the lump in his throat. His other hand sneaking behind his back and taking out a knife. Raphael knocked on the floor and a hole was unclogged. Revealing someone underneath.
"Raphael." A growl was herd from below the floor. Suddenly the door of the floor opened, revealing a set of stairs as Raph pushed Leo back off of it.
"What are you doing he-" The monster was immediately cut off as Raph leapt for him. Breaking his neck and dragging him away from snooping view. Leo's eyes widen in horror.
"You killed him. . ." He gasped. Raph looked at him confusingly. 
"Yeah, that was the point of bringing you here." 
"You were telling the truth." Raph took a glance at Leo's hand that dropped slightly from behind his back, and smirked.
"You were going to kill me weren't you?"
"I thought you lied and this was a trap." 
"Don't blame you. But I did tell the truth when I said the vampires were hunting me down. Not one of them likes me."
"Why?" Raph glared at him. 
"I don't think I should tell you." Leo kept silent. Sheathing his knife for now. Raph grabbed his hand and led them to the underground hide out. They walked down a hallway till Raph pressed him against the wall. Peeking from behind the corner he saw a vampire couple about to walk out. Thinking fast, he grabbed onto Leo and pretended to eat him from his neck. Making disgusting slobbering and growling sounds. 
Leonardo was shocked and was about to try to stab him, till the couple walked in and he realized what he was doing. Allowing his body to go limp as if he was dead. 
They walked by as if it was an every day thing. Raph let go of him after they were out of sight. 
"Wow. You couldn't think of anything better then that?" Raph smiled and shrugged. He peeked back from around the corner. Everyone was sitting at tables as blood was everywhere and he had to admit that the sight was pretty gross even for someone who loved the red liquid. They were biting into fleshes and raw meet. Blood all over their faces. The copper smell caught Raph's nose. He hissed and shook his head, hearing ringing and feeling pounding in his skull.
"Raph what's wrong?" Leo asked in concern.
"The smell. . . So arousing." He fought himself as his fangs started to grow. Leo looked horrifed. Searching the area and found a room full of meet, the smell making him want to barf but he managed to keep his stomach. Picking up a peice of meat and handing it to Raph.
"Eat it." He demanded. The turtle snatched it and started chomping down. Sickening Leo to no end. Once he was finished, he immediately whipped the blood from his face on his sleeve. His fangs growing back to normal size.
"Okay. Okay. I'm good." He looked back at the crowd. "Alright, I got a plan. I will sneak in and place a timed silent bomb under one of the tables. And then we'll run out." He took the machine out from his jacket and was about to go in till Leo grabbed his wrist.
"Maybe I should do it."
"No, Leo."
"But you might get aroused by the smell again. You would most likely join them."
"Yeah but if you go in there. They'll get suspicious of the fact you have no smell. And besides, I just ate." 
"I am the hunter you know."
"I don't care how expert you are at this, Leo. There is no way you could take them all down-especially when they're all aroused like that, and even if you could. You couldn't take them all down in time before the bomb goes off. Just let me do it. It'll be easier. And besides, even if I stay. I will die, just like you wanted." The bottom of Leo's lips went down to a frown without his permission at the sound of that.
"Here. Trade jackets with me."
"What? Why?"
"Cause they recognize me like this."
"Wouldn't they recognize your smell?"
"With all that meat and blood? Naw, I would just smell like another passer-by." He chuckled. Taking Leo's jacket and putting it on. Taking out a red cloth from his pocket and tying it around his nose and mouth to provide as a bandanna.
He walked in. No one seemed to notice him, too engulfed in their meals to care. He sat at a table in the middle of the room as a large pound of meat was set in front of him. The ringing and pounding started again. He growled and hissed as he shook his head. Taking out the bomb and sliding it subtly under the table. Tapping it to the bottom and pressing the on bottom. He had exactly five minutes to get out of there.
He tried to get up but the copper smell was over whelming him. His nerves tingling with sensation. 
Leo was whispering for him. You'd think a vampire with excellent hearing would hear him. But Raph was completely ignoring him. Though he captured a few other vampires attention but they didn't give him much of a thought. 
Leonardo growled. Slamming his fist against the wall. Putting on Raph's leather jacket. He so cautiously walked through the room. But to his amazement, no vampire attacked him. 
Once he got to the table where Raph was sitting at. He lightly touched his shoulder.
"Come on, Raph. We got to go now." He whispered to him. 
"R-Right." He shook his head and pushed himself off the table. He sped up ahead of Leo. Desperate to get out of there. While Leo was getting more and more sick by the minute. The smell and sight did it for him. He collapsed on his knees and threw up the contents of his stomach. Every vampire had their head turned to him.
"Intruder!" One shouted. All of them got up and ran after him.
Raphael stopped where he was at. His eyes widening as he saw all the monsters running after the turtle on the ground. Growling he ran in. 
The emerald turtle ran in front of Leo. His fangs growing to abnormal size, he snarled at the vampires in front of him. Slashing at them. One jumped on him. Raphael cracked his neck, throwing him to the side. Another one jumped out at him as he grabbed a hold of him. Raising his fangs, he bit down on his neck before throwing that one to the side. The rest started pilling on top of him.
Leonardo was struggling trying getting up. Finding Raph under a pile of vampires. His eyes widening. 
"Hey, I'm the only one who can have the pleasure of killing him." He growled. Unsheathing his swords. He sliced and stabbed every monster until Raph was soon revealed. Leo grabbed a hold of his wrist. Lifting him up and dragging him out the exit. 
Both Raph and Leo shoved the door closed. Sitting on top of it to keep the monsters from shoving their way threw. 
"Let's go." Raph ordered. Grabbing Leo's hand, they ran. The vampires shoved their way threw the door but it was already too late as the bomb went off and blew all of them up.
The two turtles was pushed as they flew in the air and landed feet away from the bombing sight. Raph groaned as he pushed himself up from the ground.
"D-Did we win?" Leo was the next up.
"Yeah. I think we did." They smiled at each other. 
"Uh Raph. . . You got a little something." Leo patted the side of his mouth. Raph realized what he meant. Whipping the drop of blood away. Hearing cops sirens coming closer and the flashing of red and blue lights got both turtles to flee immediately. They ran to the roof where they left first.
"Wow. That was the most fun I've had in years." Raph chuckled. His hands behind his head. Leo couldn't help but giggle.
"Yeah. I have to admit that was pretty exciting." The emerald turtle smirked at him. They traded back coats.
"You look pretty good in a leather jacket." 
"You don't look too bad yourself with mine." 
"Maybe we can do it again some time soon."
"Heh, don't bet your life on it." Leo smirked. "Oh and uh. . . thanks." Raph's head popped up as he looked at him astonished.
"Did I hear correctly? Did the all mighty and powerful vampire hunter just thanked a vampire."
"Don't get used to it." Raphael only laughed. Patting the leaf green reptiles shoulder.
"Let's just say it was pay back for saving my life." He giggled. "Too bad this couldn't become a regular thing." Leo frowned.
"What? Like you becoming my side kick? No way. No. The vampire hunter is alone. I don't need anybody's help."
"I know. I got it for the hundredth time." Raph rolled his eye. "But if you find yourself having a little bit of trouble locating hide outs for Vampires. Don't be afraid to ask."
"I'll keep that in mind." A smile showed on his lips. Raph grinned back. "And don't think that I'm not going to kill you later on."
"My schedule is free at night." Raph smirked before turning around and running off. Leonardo watched him till he was out of his view. He let the smile on his face last a few more minutes before he realized what he was doing.
'W-Wait. . . Did I just smile? At him?" Leonardo growled. Shaking his head and pulling the ends of his lips down. Running back to where his home was. Erasing this night completely from his mind.
