i felt leon's hand grip tighter on mine before realizing that it was his hurt hand he was holding me with. i frowned realizing that before realizing the bigger issue. my leg.

"fuck how am i gonna get down there with my leg" i said looking down at the at least twenty foot drop. i gulped noticing how much farther it seemed. leon let out a groan struggling to keep us up with one hand.

"i'll swing us over the spikes and into some clear area and hopefully you'll be well enough to walk" leon said with a struggle.

"here let me grab your belt and waist so you can use both hands" i said slowly gripping onto his pants around his hips. once i felt that i was secure enough i gently dropped his hand that was holding onto to me and wrapped it around his hips. he immediately threw his hand up to the chain before rocking his hips to gain momentum. once we were at a decent speed he spoke up.

"okay on the count of three you let go okay?....one.......two.......three now!" he said as i let my grip fall from him and i was plummeting toward the ground. i landed in the not so deep water rolling when i hit the ground. i let out a loud groan of pain. the fall definitely winded me but there was no way i was gonna be able to land on my feet. not with my leg fucked up. i heard the water splash next to me and looked over seeing leon getting up from his crouched position. he immediately made eye contact with me and beelined straight for me.

"hey, hey you okay?" he said softly cupping my cheeks with his large palms. his gaze scanned over me for a brief second before switching between my eyes.

"just...peachy" i groaned out before he helped me to stand up all the way. my back and shoulder were definitely gonna be bruised after this. if they weren't already.

"hang in there ashley. we're coming for you" leon said looking at the pit we just fell from. i leaned some of my weight on leon who instinctively wrapped an arm around my waist and i pulled my flashlight from my belt. my other arm wrapped around leon's torso as we began walking through the water tunnel place we were in.

"this is definitely getting infected" i groaned out in annoyance looking down at my leg. leon looked over and clenched his jaw before giving me a sympathetic look. he pulled out his pistol from its holster and we began walking. him helping me. we eventually got to a small gap in the spikes were there was a dead body impaled and hanging limp.

"talk about sticking the landing" leon said his hand dropped from my waist to my hand as he pulled me through the gap. i let out a small chuckle at his cheesy line. his grip went back to my waist and he pulled me close walking next to me through a much more narrow tunnel. we got to a cross section before something swam across in front of us.

"the hell-?" leon said cautiously holding his pistol tighter. we saw that we had to crouch and follow whatever the thing that was in the water went and i stopped allowing leon to go first. he looked around for a second before turning to me and giving me a thumbs up. i crawled through the small gap and stood up. warmth filled my palm as i felt leon's fingers intertwine with mine. suddenly his hand fell from mine as the thing swam quickly toward us. leon fired a few round into it before the thing, which i now saw was those gross bugs from earlier, died. leon immediately walked in front of me holding his gun up as we walked toward a set of stairs. i could hear more bugs scurrying around and saw that there was a drop at the end of the stone walkway we were on.
