𝙲𝚑. 4) Stay close

Making our way through the station, things seemed to settle a bit. The feeling of not being attacked was nice, although I couldn't help but still feel eyes on me. Leon had his eye on a piece of paper waving me closer as he sped up. The last papers we had found around the station taught us things like how to apply herbs and the combination codes to the safe and Leon's desk. But this.. it was different. This was a warning.

"To any survivors,
Consider this a gift for anyone still unfortunate enough to be alive.
Keep your eyes peeled for those creepy fucks that look like they were skinned alive- "lickers," we call 'em. They're blind as bats, but their hearing more than makes up for that.
So long as you don't run around like a total idiot, guns a-blazing, you should be able to slip right by them... probably.
Either way, make like my grandma and creep around as slow as possible around 'em, yeah?
Anyway, not that I wanna go, but duty calls. That, and I've got a friend to avenge.
David"

Leon shot me a worried look pulling his pistol back out stuffing the letter into his pocket. "It's a warning. Apparently it gets worse, the infection. Stay close." he tucked his arm behind my back pulling me closer to him. We weren't touching... but we were close. "Stay quiet. Lets go." he lets go of my back moving forward clearing every area he can at once. I move forward behind him. Analyzing the back of us holding my pistol like my dad had taught me. My right hand on the handle, pointer just hovering the trigger, my left hand as support under my right.

We entered through the door to what appears to be a library. Huh. A library in a police station. How fancy. A huge smile spreads across my face as i take in the nice stacks of the books on the shelf. Felt a little bit like home.

Static coming from Leons direction interrupts my daze. "Leon, Y/N, it's Marvin. I need you two back here ASAP!!" "Are you okay Marvin?" Leon asks rapidly, desperate for an answer. "Ive got something to show you, it's important." Marvin avoids his question, averting Leons gaze back to my face.

"Copy that, we'll be right there." Swiftly turning around as he grabs my hand, were back in the main hall. "We've gotta get to Marvin." Leon takes out his flash light looking for the door back to the waiting room.

"I hope he is alright. We really need to find him some help. Its only been a few hours but I'm so tired of all the death." I turned my head downward looking at the blade attached to my thigh. Taking it out fiddling with the handle as we make our way through the hallways.

Pretending to stab and poke at things around the halls. I could feel him watching me. His eyes causing heat to rise and shoot tingles throughout my body. I felt my heart rate speed up. Pushing the thoughts away again i continued being a little kid in a toy isle. "Want me to show you how to use it." He paused turning to me, his words stopping my pretend jab, his hand is out asking for the blade to be placed into it. "Sure!"

I placed the knife carefully in his hand. His eyes on mine as he adjusts the grip on the knife. Turning it outwards so the blade is by his forearm but turned away from it. "This is how you want to hold it, if it is turned this way you can stab with more force because you are pushing down or out. It also gives you an advantage because the blade can't be used on you in the same position. This is how you'll do the most damage. " His words tingled through my ears, echoing in my head.

His lips slightly parted as he finished talking. His blue eyes taking in my focused expression. "HAH!" He suddenly turns away from me stabbing and swiping through the air, pretending as I once was before, only more realistic, earning a giggle from me after a slight flinch.

"Anyways you can have your knife back." He turns his head away from me chuckling as if he had taken my toy from me. "Thanks" I lightly shove him forward as we both chuckle to each other. This was nice. In a time of crisis, it felt nice to laugh.. to play around. But it was time we got serious. Heading back to the main hall, That's our goal.
