blood. there was so much blood everywhere. bodies laid next to me torn apart. small cries escaped my lips as i saw the mutilated corpses around me banding on the walls and windows. i had watched one tear apart a girl earlier but i couldn't move. i couldn't save her. i couldn't save anyone. not even the one who was supposed to protect me. his body covered in blood both his and others several bite marks littered his corpse and a bullet hole in his head. we were supposed to stop the outbreak. we were supposed to save everyone. now they're all dead. i'm a failure. 

"no!' i cried up while i shot up in the small bed causing the duvet to slide down. i tucked my knees to my chest dropping my head into them and cried. i felt so weak. 

"hey...hey...shhh you're okay. it was just a dream shhh" i heard his voice. leon's voice and his arms. i felt his arms gently holding me pulling me into a hug. his head rested on the top of mine. he gently stroked my hair trying to soothe me. "i've got you doll don't worry" 

"i'm sorry i didn't mean to wake you up" i said gently pulling out of his grasp. he furrowed his brows. 

"i don't mind. i'm supposed to make sure you're okay...do you wanna talk about it?" he asked softly making sure i was okay to do so. 

"it was raccoon. it usually is. sometimes my childhood sometime the training but mostly raccoon" i said dropping my head. 

"i get them too. what we went through wasn't easy. i'd be more afraid if i didn't get nightmares from it. it means you're still human" he said sympathizing with me. i gently nodded and opened the window shade next to the bed. i wasn't shocked to see clouds so i shut it and gently got up. i walked over to the bathroom and splashed some water on my face before quietly walking past where ashley was still asleep to grab something to drink. i saw on one of the electronic maps that we were above canada so it wouldn't be much longer. i felt leon's arm gently wrap around me as he grabbed a cup. he grabbed mine too and filled them both with whisky before i could fill it with water. i furrowed my brows as he handed the glass back to me. 

"you need something a little stronger than water after that dream" he said downing his glass in one sip. i sighed and nodded before downing my glass and putting it on the counter. i put my head on my arm holding my other out for leon to refill my glass. he took the hint and did so allowing me to down another round of whiskey. i put my head back down trying not to feel anything. 

"i doubt the president wants us to drink all of his fancy whiskey" leon said softly putting the bottle away. 

"i don't care i just wanna get drunk and forget about this stupid fucking job." i mumbled. leon sighed before filling a new glass with water and handing it to me. we walked over to the chairs that were next to the counter and sat. one of the attendants walked over to us. 

"excuse me, would you two like anything to eat?" i could hear a thick french accent that belonged to the woman say to us. i looked over at her and tilted my head.
