Y/N's POV: "Follow your orders." I make a face as I mock him. My eyes rolled as I thought about how much control he had over me. The thought never bothered me unless he was keeping me from protecting him.

Watching him leave in that boat not knowing what was coming... knowing he was alone out there, and the only thing I can do is watch... It was one of the worst feelings I have ever felt while being in his presence.

A familiar feeling of loss and desperation.

Fuck Leon... why does something like this always have to happen. I stared off into the ripples being made by the motor boat... my mind getting lost in the memory of the familiar feeling.

My brain now stuck in a flashback... The mutant was smashing Leon into the floor panels as I was frozen in fear. Come on Y/N. He's hurting! He needs you. Shit shit shit. I pulled my pistol out quickly cocking it. My shaky hands brought the nose of the pistol up to aim at the giant eye on the mutant's arm. I opened fire instantly as it meets his eye, hoping he would release Leon from his grip.

I was wrong and before I knew it a sharp pole was being launched at me, gashing my side open, and Leon was screaming as he was being pushed through the floor panels. The same feeling had washed over me as I heard the crashing, and gunfire. Helplessly laying on the ground next to the railing unable to do anything accept listen and think. We were both alone.

I pull myself out of the flashback as a phantom pain comes to my side. The one the pole had gashed. It's okay Y/N. He's got this. I rub my side feeling the scar under my tight tank top.

My eyes are concentrated back on Leon and the boat as he continues out onto the lake. Slowly coming to a stop as the motor grows faint... Why is he stopping? I shield my eyes from the sun, squinting to try and see better.

It looks like he is trying to start the motor again. Must have quit on him.

I watch anxiously as he tries to restart the motor, a faint groan coming from him each time he chokes it. Shit... He's so attractive. His muscles flex and shine with ever move he makes. Littered in sweat yet so hot.

He draws in his hand as he moves to pull it again, this time the boat is knocked by something, causing Leon to lose his balance.

What the fuck was that. No there's something out there... That's why he didn't want me there. Anxiety fills my body as I begin to shake. He has no way out of there. The fucking motor broke.

I watch as the water calms down again, Leon looking around as well waiting for something to happen.

Everything goes quiet, the suspense is too much to handle.

Suddenly a huge disgusting looking lizard, fish, shark, piranha thing is jumping out of the water above him. It absolutely humongous. Surely bigger than a school bus with the jaws of a megalodon.

My heart drops as I watch it knock Leon off balance, sending his boat spiraling through the water from the impact of the splash. He looks like an ant compared to that thing.

"LEON GET OUT OF THERE!" I can feel and hear my voice shaking as I try and scream to him. My voice felt like a whisper. My hands shaking so bad I can't even focus. My mind is going blank as fear overtakes me.

And just like that, I'm a scared helpless little girl again.

Something on the boat was grabbed by the monster, now dragging Leon behind it. Holy shit this isn't happening. It's just a big ass nightmare.

Leon is controlling the direction of the boat, avoiding any objects in the water that could harm it, while throwing spears at the lake monster when he can.

He's thrown about 6 so far and it seems like they're barely doing anything. I can't watch this... yet my eyes won't leave him.

The monster soon disappeared, losing hold on the boat. I watch as Leon readies a spear, frantically looking around for the monster to pop back up.

Poor thing. He's all alone out there. I can't handle this. I'm terrified just watching, I can't imagine how he is.

The monster re-emerges from the water, not grabbing the boat though. Which gives Leon a few good shots with the spears as it makes it's way around him before re-submerging underwater.

Come on what's it gonna take to kill this thing. I need him to be okay.

-----------------------------

Leon's POV: "Where'd you go?" I wait with a spear in my hand as the water grows quiet again. My heart feels like its going to beat out of my chest. Adrenaline and fear courses through my veins as I wait.

Before I know it the boat is being grabbed from the side. It had charged at me and was now locked onto the boat. It had missed me and got stuck, leaving it's mouth wide open.

Holy shit. I swiftly turn, shoving a spear into the bottom of it's mouth. Tossing it into it's throat before it lets go of the boat. I loose my balance again as the boat restabilizes and yet again the monster is dragging me.

"Shit. I'm sunk at this rate."

The boat is quickly losing functionality, wearing down the more it's dragged and tossed around. I throw another spear before the monster leaps over me, jerking me back the other way as I slam into the end of the boat.

Ah fuck. "You tough son of a bitch."

I continue sending spears into it as much as I can while avoiding anything that could damage the boat further.

After being hit by a tree stump in the water and another charge from the monster, the boat was really falling apart.

"Ah Christ. I don't think the boat can take another hit like that."

After throwing about 7 more spears, the beast finally rolls over, and accepts it's defeat.

The water grows calm again, only now stained red.

"LEON! LEONNNN!"

I hear a faint high pitch screaming coming from the doc. It's Y/N.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" Her voice is crackly and shaky as her words faintly reach me. She sounds like she's on the verge of tears.

"YEAH. I'M OKAY." I yell back to her as I watch her physically settle down. She looked so tense. Her shoulders dropped and a breath of relief left her mouth. Her body now physically looking relaxed.

I turn back to stained water, dropping the spear in my hand as I flop over in the boat. That took so much from me. My nerves feel shot and I feel exhausted.

My stomach hurts as I feel a cough coming up. I lean over the boat as my stomach beats on itself, coughing out blood into the palm of my hand.

What the hell...? I mean I'm tired... But I didn't think the battle took enough out of me to cause this.

My hands are shaky as I stare at what has come out of me. My eyes move to my reflection in the water as I let the blood fall from my hand.

Shit, I'm dizzy. What the hell is happening to me. I sit back up from over the side of the boat, now kneeling. No... I can't do this... Shit Y/N needs me. My eyes shoot to the doc as the figure standing there grows fuzzy.

My vision grows black as I collapse on the boat floor. Letting the last thing I think about be her as the darkness overtakes me.
