Summary: Finally got the relic together and would be able to go home, but Leon thinks there's just something more to discover.
𝚇𝙸.
It was already 6:00, Leon manage to get the two of you back in the basement—which was now marked as your safe zone. He focuses on your comfort first before proceeding, feeding you, yet, another energy bar.
“Feeling better?” He asked, legs spread out and patting your back, “a little.” You mumbled, finishing the energy bar and drinking water. You check your watch and see that it’s already nighttime, “it’s dark, should you want to continue tomorrow morning where the sun is out?” Leon suggested, knowing your discomfort in the dark.
“It’s fine.”
“You sure?” Leon asked again, to make sure if you’re really up for the job in searching at night.
“I think it would be better if we finish this as soon as possible.” You admitted and scratched the back of your neck, Leon nodded and acknowledged it. He stood up and help you get on your feet, “let’s go.”
It was dark out, you found the creatures body still on the ground. Face to the dirty dirt, “do you see anything glowing?” you asked, Leon kneels down and flip it over, the thing is glowing from it’s stomach. “I think you might want to turn around, princess.”
You gag and nodded, you turn your back at him while he takes his knife out and started slicing the entity’s stomach, crimson splattered to his bicep, hands and shirt.
“Shit.” Leon spat and you heard him spit out, “you okay?” you asked in worry, “I’m fine, just too much black blood.” He assured and continue slicing down to its stomach, he is no surgeon to do this—but he has to.
“Leon… I think you might want to hurry up.” You mutter, voice shay and your breath hitches.
“Yeah, just give me a sec.” Leon groans and frown as he struggle to get the fourth piece out, it was quite big too. He curled it in to a thick layered fabric and tuck it in the bag.
“Don’t. Move.”
Leon turn his head to what you’re looking at, it was there. Standing and gutting out crimsons from it’s eyes, the smile forcefully turning to a frown. It made an eerie noise as it tilts its head to the side, you both could see a light glow from the neck.
“That’s probably the stone itself, right?”
“it has to be.”
You swallowed your saliva as you take a couple of deep breaths, you wait for Leon’s signal. “On me, okay?” you nod at his words, “I’ll count to three and you’re going to run from that side,” Leon points to your right, “while I go the other.”
You nodded and warm up your legs, the injury you had is still healing but it has grown numb when adrenalin rushes through your veins.
“One.”
The creature slowly crawls, rotating it’s head slowly to a 360°, you swear that you could’ve peed in your pants a little.
“two.”
“Come on, come on.” Your heart pounding and your mind racing, it’s almost close.
“Go!” You made a run for it, you separate from Leon as the creature targeted you. “Fuck, Leon!” you yelled at the top of your lungs, “I’m here!” Leon shouts back, throwing each bullet to find the weak point.
“Do you see it?”
“Not yet!”
You swear your legs is gonna give out, you stop your track as the creature laughs at you for being foolish—you slide down from below and continue your run, “I think it’s on the neck!” Leon took note of that and got the creatures attention by throwing a flash bang at it.
It blinded for a good few minutes as Leon told you to come to him, so the attention would be his.
It hisses and screamed loudly, the crows flock and fled, making it shake the trees.
“Didn’t know you’re part of an Opera.” Leon remarked, hiding you from the creature, “come on big guy, come and get me.” He taunt and made his run, it was pissed and started speeding up to catch Leon.
You came out from your hiding spot and watch Leon do the job, Leon dropped the bag beside you, you rummage to it and find another flash bang, since you saw that it immobilize the creature for a good minute. You thought to give it a try and help him out.
“Leon!” you called, “heads up!” he ducks down, the curious creature turn its head as the flash bang turned off to its face, giving Leon enough time to aim and shoot to its neck.
Bang—
You closed your eyes and peek a little, the thing is now on the ground—not moving or breathing, it’s dead.
“Good job,” he praises as you ran up to him and help him up, “no problem.” You smiled at him and gave him a big hug, “now is not a place to give me your biggest hug.” You shy away from his embrace, he smiled at you as the two of you were sitting in the ground.
“Leon.”
“Yeah?”
You lean to him and gave him a peck on the cheek, “thank you.” Your lips brush to his ear as you help him up. “No,” he pause, “thank you.”
You hum and help him up, you handed him his knife and gesture him to now cut open the creatures throat, “all yours.” He chuckles at your tactics, “thank you.” He takes it and step towards the dead entity, you turn around as he do his part.
“Hunnigan?”
“Yes?”
“We got it.” Leon looks at you as you two put the pieces back together and put it in a suitcase that’s made for only that stone.
“Great, I’ll make a report, do you want me to sent a chopper?” Hunnigan asked, Leon looked at you for a second—you tilt your head to him, “is there something wrong?” you asked, Leon shakes his head and returns to Hunnigan.
“Not yet, there’s still some things we need to get done.” Leon ended the call and turns to you, “what do you mean?” you asked him, he cups your cheek and grabbed your waist.
“We need to find a lab, and make sure there’s nothing wrong with you.”
“Leon, I’m perfectly fine.”
“No, you’re not.” His expression hardens and sigh, “you were experimented on when you’re unconscious, princess.” Your face and heart dropped, “we need to make sure you’re not turning to one of them…” Leon confesses, his eyes softens when he sees you’re visibly scared.
“I’m here,” he pulled you into a tight embrace, you couldn’t choke a sob or let a tear slip. It was just nothing. You let Leon caress your hair and hum assurance in your ear, “Let’s get back inside and know who’s behind to all of this, hm?”
Leon made you look into his blues, his eyes speaks volume as you gave him a small nod and a faint smile. “Okay…” you manage to mutter out.
“I trust your judgement.”
He pulled you close, hands intertwined as the two of you got inside the mansion again. Leon buried the briefcase somewhere, hoping that no one would take it since Leon knew how to perfectly hide some valuable under the dirt.
Your mind was racing and thinking of the worst case scenarios. You didn’t do anything wrong, you hardly make enemies and you always do what your parents asked you to (well except for changing clothes), all you know is that you gave your all and that you have been a good fucking girl.
It was already 9:30 at that point, you two searched from up and below. Trying to crack every single puzzle, you picked up a piece of paper in one of the books in the library—you two paced back to the rooms that you two already searched.
It doesn’t hurt to double check, right?
You read the note, your brows knit together as you recognize this handwriting.
You don’t know how much I would do everything in my power to kill that bitch! She’s taking away everything and getting in my plans, how I never even regret setting her mothers accident, I don’t feel remorse to a poor mother and her disgusting daughter.
My baby won’t even look at me when that burden is in the same room as we were, I even realized that I’m not part of his inheritance—he said with a proud smile that all his belongings and money would come to his daughter if it means he'll be a good father.
What about me?
The plan I did to kill his wife and ruin their marriage, was it all in vain? Why did his daughter have to be born, so stupid!
No worries, plan B is where we are going to roll. Sell her to the creeps who do questionable experiments, if her father didn’t manage to recognize her—then the inheritance will be mine, he would think that his daughter is now dead and would never become an ugly monster.
Leon took the note from you and crumbled it into a ball and tuck it in his pockets, “Come here…” He coos and hugged you tight, “It’s okay…”
“Leon..?”
“Yeah?”
“Will I become a monster?”
