Wow. Such a heartfelt chapter. Poor Splinter feeling guilty for his son's death. He should know that it isn't his fault that Mikey died or that Raph was so angry. He was only trying to protect his sons as any parent would do. Great job on this. I know it's been a while since you updated, but I hope the muses will come back to let you finish this great work.

Wow. Such a heartfelt chapter. I can see Mikey and Raph feeling this way, especially Raph. Great job on this.

Awww, poor Raph having that nightmare. I can guess that it was about what he and Splinter talked about earlier. I love how this is the origin of Raph's anger and how Splinter regrets what he has done. It just shows that even Splinter has flaws in him sometimes. Great job.

Wow. I can understand why Splinter would tell Raph that, but that's a lot to lay on a young child like that. Great job on this.
The Bubbly One,

Shell

Wow. Awesome start on this so far. I really like where this is going. I'm off to read more.

wow this made me cry its very well done is there going to be more id really like to know

O! That was so sad. Man why did Splinter have to go and say those things to Raphael? *cries* beatiful writng and its going on my faverorites list straight away. Sometimes though it does seem like society can't no wait won't except those that are different from itself. thank you so much for writng this and capturing that spirit.

This made me cry, well as close to tears as I ever get at least. This was a really great story though painful to read for it was so sad. Poor Raph.

this had been prety hard and dramatic, true, very sad, I think you raally got Splinter and Raph's personalites here, the shaken relationship between them and the rest of the family was well wreten, too.
this was a good piece, sad, beautiful, yet still good...

Ironic as soon as i finished reading this story "every Single Tears" by Jericho road came on. I just thought that was ironic in that...well...I dunno how to explain really but I'll just say it's a touching story)

Oh jeez I'm so stupid. I looked in my review history and read the one where I gave you my address but I didn't give you my full address. Anyway, I'll ask again to refresh your memory. I want to know if I could use your idea of Splinter telling Raph what would happen should they be captured. I would gladly give you credit for the idea. I want you to let me know if this is OK or not by emailing me at jewelprincess_8808 Thankyou for your time.
By the way, since this is a review I'll tell you again that I loved this story.

oh... *bows head with tears in her eyes* I knew you kept mentioning one of them dying... but I didn't expect it to be Mikey... I thought it would be Leo in a fit of rage or something, it would have been easier to accept than an accident...

Good job... maybe I'll read more of your work. *finally decides to wipe the tears away
Lone Warrior2 *tears well up once again*

I really like this story. I just found it in one of my favorite author's, favorite stories. Its really cool. As I read this I was kind of thinking of ideas for my own longer Raph fic.
I kind of want to know if I could use one of your ideas in here. I want to know if I may use the idea that Splinter told Raph at an early age what would happen should they get caught. It would be a great tool to scar him with. It will be a horror thing with him being a masochist. I need more ideas on what to make him a masochist without being OOC. This would fit the bill.

I would gladly give you credit for the idea because I found it in your story. Let me know whether it would be OK or not through my email address, jewelprincess_8808
Thankyou for your time and now I'll get back to your story -.

Aw man...go directly from funny to sad, do not pass go(etcetc.) Wonderful story telling, but incredibly sad story!

Wow...dude that was sad. Raph is my favorite and I loved how you wrote him. I would have never thought of that idea...EVER. Splinter being the one that planted the hate and fear in him...wow. Very nice and way original. Major kudos for you _
