Escape The Plaga

Through the Hedges

"Luis? Where are you?" You walk closer to Leon as his radio starts beeping. Ashley follows.

"Sorry, I, uh, I screwed up. Come to my rescue, prince Charming!" You chuckle, shaking your head at Luis' antics.

"I'll show you charming, pal..." Leon rolls his eyes with an annoyed glances at you and Ashley. Ashley chuckles and you join her, loving Leon annoyance with the man.

"I'm in the ballroom, past the courtyard. Don't be late for the dance!" Luis hangs up.

"Ugh, can you believe that guy?" Leon says as he reloads his gun.

Ashley smiles, "well he's in trouble and we can't just leave him."

You shrug, "He has the stupid repressant."

Leon sighs and heads out the door, "Stay close."

Ashley follows behind Leon and you follow behind her. You head into the courtyard and realize it's just a big hedge maze. Leon climbs a small tower next to us and releases some flags. "Looks like the flags been lowered!" Ashley calls up to Leon.

"Must be two more towers we have to get to and lower the other flags To open the main gate..." You nod slowly as Leon jumps down.

"Great, more puzzles." Leon sighs and breaks a barrel getting some ammo.

You Pat his shoulder, "Well, at least it's only two." Leon gives you a look before chuckling and walking forward.

We don't get very far before Leon shoots down what can only be described as Demon dogs. "Keep your dogs on a leash people." Leon quips after he kills them.

You snort and Ashley rolls her eyes, "Really Leon?"

He smiles over his shoulder and starts forward again. When you reach a fountain, Leon deals with another dog.

Before you can follow you hear a bark and then, with a grunt you hold the dog as it tackles you. "Leon!" It takes every single muscle in what feels like your whole body to hold the snapping dog before Leon's there, stabbing it in the head, instantly killing it. You stare up at him with a shaky smile, "Fido just wanted a kiss..."

Leon pulls you up into a hug, Ashley joining in. You guys stay like that for a minute before you all pull back, "I'm okay now. Let's keep moving before something worse comes..." You smile to Leon and Ashley, hiding your shaking hands.

Leon nods quickly before you resume your trek, back in formation. Ashley gives you a backward glances and you keep giving her reassuring smiles.

When you've finally gotten two towers you head around an unexplored corner and hear that awful barking again before Leon quickly shoots the caged dogs, before they can break free.

You find a lever that has the symbol of a door you had seen not to far away to a gate. "Here, hold this down." Leon says, "I'll run through and pull the lever."

You shake your head, "No I'll go, you stay here with Ashley in case more dogs come. I'll be quick." Before Leon can argue more you run off to the gate and head up the stairs and to the tower part and pull down the last Lever, making the last flags drop.
