Intertwine (RE4: Leon Kennedy x Reader) [Leon POV] [Book#1] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Twenty Four: The Queen

The cart comes to a slow moving stop, the cart door lowers down for us to step off. The girls exit and I follow behind them. Two flame torches stand side by side keeping the room lit, the cults insignia designed into the stands giving it their homey touch. In between the torches is a metal door with the same old designs I've seen throughout this place.

Ruins the aesthetic. 

I glance at the door noticing a simple switch to unlock it, I flick it hearing a click sound. Entering in, the cart ride looped us back around to where we started. The wall had three stone pieces missing, I placed all three that I have collected into wall completing the art. The entire wall section rumbles the ground as it lowers revealing the path we need to escape. A set of stairs leads towards a gold painted door, I reach for the handle to open. I moved to the side letting the girls pass through, I shut the door behind me seeing the room we entered lead to another cart at the other end of the room. We walk towards the cart and step in it, the girls sit beside each other and I sit alone once again. 

The cart begins to move guiding us to our next location, at least this gives us another chance to rest a moment.

Minutes go by and the cart comes to a slow stop, this time the new location was a lot more cleaner, high class suite. The girls step on the glossy checkered style flooring hearing a satisfying tap with each step. I step off the cart looking down at my boots seeing my reflection staring back at me. We could use this kind of shinning back at the office. 

(Y/n)-"Please let that door lead back home." She spoke under her breath.

(Ashley)-"I wish." She commented. 

I reach for the creaky metal door walking through making sure the room is clear. I nod my head letting them know it's safe to pass, but it wasn't a safe passage leading to home.

(Leon)-"Sorry, ladies." I lightly chuckle in my throat. I hear a disappointed sigh coming from (Y/n). 

We stand in the middle of a three directional room, to the right is a little space for seating and a door at the very end of it, to the left of us is a metal door, straight ahead lead to a hallway full of portraits. 

(Y/n)-"This room is a little disturbing..." 

(Ashley)-"This is what you find disturbing? Not all that those people trying to murder us?" 

(Y/n)-"It's all these eyes staring.. who even are these people?" 

(Leon)-"People who are irrelevant." 

(Ashley)-"So....anyone going to pick which way we go?" 

(Leon)-"Maps not being exactly clear.. Leaving it up to you two. Choose our way." (Y/n) and Ashley look to each other.

(Ashley)-"I don't want to be held responsible if we pick wrong. You choose." 

(Y/n)-"Damn it. okay...." She looks to the right then left.
