Leon and I walked along the corridor of the dark hallway, blood and corpses everywhere. We reached the staircase and a zombie starts banging on the window, which caused me to jump. Leon on the other hand, remained still, before picking up some boards and quickly he boarded up the window "Like hell that will keep them from breaking in, eventually the wood will break" I grumbled at him. He only turned to me and smirked "Well by the time that happens we'll be long gone. Don't worry (Y/N) nothing will get you I promise" He told me. I rolled my eyes at him "That's not what I'm afraid of... I'm not afraid of anything I'm a big girl, I can handle this" I muttered. Okay it was a bit of a lie, I was scared, I just refused to show it. I don't think I convinced Leon though.

We head into a small room near the staircase, I look around in the lockers, finding some ammo and gunpowder for Leon. I need a gun soon, I can't just rely on my fucking fists and my knife is gone. Stuck in a zombies head of course. I sigh in annoyance and lean against the wall, watching Leon grab things he needed and mix some herbs together. He then looks up at him, noticing my stare "You don't look pleased miss" He commented. I huff "Do you expect me to be jumping with joy?" I sarcastically say. He chuckled at that, shaking his head, his hair falling in front of his blue eyes "No, of course not. You just seem very moody, all the time" He replied. I snort and raised an eyebrow at him "No shit. I have nothing to smile about, it's stupid.." I mumbled, fiddling with the hem of my jacket.

Leon sighed as he put his ammo away and  reloaded his gun "I'm sure that's not true, besides you don't need a reason to smile. Nothing stupid about it. Why do you think that (Y/N)?" He asked with a small frown. I stared at him, shrugging my shoulders "Doesn't matter.. Can we go? I wanna get out of here" I say and headed to the door.

After a while Leon filled me in on what Marvin had told him. We needed to find three medallions. We already have a lion medallion and we needed a unicorn and a maiden one. Easy enough. Leon had picked up a valve to help stop the steam in the shower room, some explosion must have happened, unless a horde of zombies decided to fucking break the pipes. Once the steam was gone Leon led the way. I saw a corpse sitting upright on the bench against the wall, once we got closer it fell onto the ground. Leon reacted by aiming his gun at it, once it was for sure dead we continued to the door. He opened it and walks in, a long dark hallway, with a broken window on the right with a breeze blowing in along with droplets of rain. We walked along and then we hear a loud noise and Leon shines the flashlight towards it. On the roof a skinless looking creature feasting on a corpse. It's brain exposed. I gripped onto Leon's arm, he had the gun after all. He looks at me and whispered "A licker, saw a note earlier about them. Blind as bats, but their hearing makes up for it. So be quiet okay" He told me, I nodded in response. I can see it's claws I would not like to fuck with the thing. Leon continued to lead the way, heading into the S.T.A.R.S office. He quietly opens the door and lets me quietly go in first before him. Once we were both in he shuts the door. I sigh loudly in relief "Fuck that... Thing" I grumble. Leon looked at me "It's alright, we're safe now (Y/N). Sit down for a bit, settle your nerves" He said, patting my shoulder. I scoff and shake off his hand "I'm not fucking scared... Just.. tense" I reply, earning a snort from Leon before I walked over to a desk and I sit down on the chair. I see a photo of a dog on the desk and a hat which had STARS written on it. I could hear Leon fumbling around and grabbing things. I just wanted to be at home with my boyfriend, god I hope he's okay.. I wish I left a note at home in case he came back.

Leon soon placed a hand on my shoulder "Hey, let's get going" He says to me "There's a gun in the locker but it's closed shut. I need a USB dongle to get it open" He informed. I look over at the gun "Well hopefully we find one because I need one" I responded, crossing my arms across my chest. He nods "You know how to use one?" He asks. I frown and look at him "Mhm, had to be taught how to use one, in case... Things went wrong" I shrugged. Leon frowns and stares at me for a short moment "Hmm... Why's that?" He asked. "I used to rob stores... I don't do it anymore, if that's what you're worried about. My boyfriend is a thief, he taught me. I thought Marvin would've given you an introduction when he spoke to you" I snorted "He would've told you I'm such a fucking troublemaker, and my boyfriend is piece of shit" Leon slowly nodded his head with a small chuckle "He may have mentioned a troublemaker with a partner. And what's your boyfriend's name? Chief Irons told me about some criminals to look out for" He asks. I paused, biting my bottom lip "Austin Maynes" I responded. Leon frowned "You have terrible taste... Him of all people? I've heard of the shady shit he's done" I glare at Leon "It's none of your fucking business, you've never met him! Do me a favour and stay out of my relationships" I said, walking to the door, annoyed at Leon. He had no business saying that, I just met the guy and he's already telling me what to do. He's just a rookie. Leon followed behind me, not saying anything else, thank god. I wouldn't have said anything more to him.

I slowly opened the door and look up at the roof, the licker was gone. I sigh quietly and then walk out, heading down the corridor, Leon was right behind me. As I get to the corner of the wall the licker popped out from around the corner, making a loud noise which caused me to yell. Which... caused the licker to attack us. "Shit, go!" Leon said, grabbing my wrist and pulling me along. The licker was behind us, following us. He made it to the door and quickly unlocked it and opened it. The licker pounced, getting so close to me, it managed to only cut my arm a little before Leon quickly pulled me out and slammed the door. I hugged onto him out of fear "I hate those things..." I whisper, my face hidden in his chest. His hand strokes my hair "We're okay now, did it get you?" He asked, worry in his tone. I nodded "A little" I reply, pulling away and looking at the scratch on my arm, it wasn't too bad but it still hurt and bled quite a bit. Leon grabbed out some first aid spray and gently sprayed the injury, earning a hiss from me "Sorry, it'll sting for a while" He said before wrapping up the injury with a bandages "There" He mumbled and looked at me. I shuffled a little before looking up at him "Thanks.." I stared into his eyes, admiring them, I never noticed how pretty his eyes were.

I then shake my head "Lets go... We gotta find those medallions" I said. Leon nodded and points behind me "Found another" He said, I looked behind me and saw the unicorn statue. He walks over and grabs out a small notebook and flipped through the pages before beginning to fiddle with the statue.

Soon a small opening opened up and Leon grabbed the second medallion. One more to go! Hopefully we find it fast I want to leave so fucking bad.

~TimeSkip~

We make it to the room up the stairs in the library. Guessing it's an attic, it's full of useless shit and a cell. With a statue behind it. Leon grabbed out a bomb and set it up on the door before he grabbed my hand and hid behind the very large pillar. An explosion goes off and we both look over at it. It created an opening to the statue. Leon walked in through the hole, I followed behind him and he did the same thing, put in the codes for the statue and got the last medallion. He smiled and then we hear a loud thud and a loud growl. Great, we just can't get a break. Leon thankfully got a shotgun from the locker rooms earlier, he didn't want me to handle it, so damn annoying. I follow closely behind him, Leon aiming his gun and torch in front of us. A licker dropped down and screeched at us. Leon wasted no time in grabbing my hand and running back through to the library, it luckily missed us when it leaped, scratching the wall behind us. He sighs loudly and looks at the medallion in his hand "Alright, let's get out of here" He said with a small smile. I nod "Please, I've had enough of this hellhole..." I said with an annoyed huff and we head back down to Marvin. Leon fitted the medallion in and the passageway opened up. Leon opened the door "This is it, this is our way out. Lieutenant Branagh! Marvin!" He said, walking back over to us, I sat on a seat beside Marvin. I was so worried about him, I knew he wasn't going to make it, if he got bit he would turn. I held back the tears that tried to escape my eyes "It's time to go" Leon spoke again and gently touched Marvin's arm "Marvin-" He jumped as Marvin jumped awake with a gasp. He looks at Leon "We gotta get you to a hospital" Leon said to him. Marvin shook his head "N-No I... save yourselves.." He replied, looking away from Leon and I. Leon frowns softly "Marvin, we gotta-"

"Go!" Marvin yelled back at Leon. Leon still tried speaking with Marvin "We have to get you to a hospital, if you just let me-" Leon stopped speaking when Marvin turned around, a gun in his hand "It's too late. I tried Leon... But I couldn't stop it. It's on you and (Y/N) now. Just go! Both of you. And... take care of (Y/N) for me. Despite her record she's a good kid.." He groaned.

I felt a tear slip down my cheek, I leaned over and gently kissed Marvin's cheek "Thank you, for everything... " I softly said, earning a small smile from Marvin "Take care (Y/N). Leon will take care of you, stick with him. And... here" He hands me his gun, his best one too. I whimper and shake "I can't.." I started but Marvin stopped me "You need it. It won't be of use to me anymore. You and Leon need to protect each other. Now go, get out of here" He said

I wipe away my tears that came down my cheeks before standing up "Bye Marvin, rest easy.." I say before heading to the passage door. Leon nodded at Marvin "I promise to take care of her, I can tell how much she means to you. Goodbye sir" He said before following into the little room. The doors close behind us, Leon having one more glance of Marvin "I won't let you down Marvin.." He said

Leon then looked at me, giving me a sympathetic look "Come on" He said, heading to the elevator. I kept a frown on my face, nodding at him and following him to the elevator. Not saying anything. I couldn't. I then grabbed and hugged onto Leon's arms for comfort, I felt safe with him, comfortable. The elevator door opens and we head inside, Leon hits a button and then looks down at me, watching over me. The doors shut and the elevator started to go down, god knows what else is waiting for us.
