"RAPH!" Donatello screamed and rushed to Raphael's aid. He cut the rope from Raphael's neck and hugged him. Raphael was gasping for air trying desperately to find something to say. Anything to say. Then he finally found some words. "J-Just... j-just l-let m-me.... d-die..." Raphael said still gasping. "I will not let my own  blood die..." Donatello said and picked Raphael up. Raphael's head lay against Donatello's chest. He didn't really want to die he just wanted the pain to end. It did but it was a worse feeling. He was numb.
