Empty Eyes ~ Leon Kennedy FF

Chapter Nine

Leon and Olivia went into the library. They had the tool to push the bookshelves together so that's what they were planning to do.

"You know this is gonna attract Trenchcoat?" Leon said.

Olivia shrugged "Do you want to get any further or do you just want to run away from him this whole time with no aim?" she questioned and he stayed quiet. 

Leon and Olivia pushed one bookshelf each to cover up the hole in the floor and then climbed the ladder. Olivia went first.

When she looked down to see if he was following, he was staring at her ass. She chuckled "Stop staring at my ass"

"It's a nice ass" Leon replied, smirking.

Olivia laughed as she continued climbing to the second floor of the library. They got across to the door and walked through it. 

They were now on the very top floor, looking over the balcony to see the Main Hall. They walked further and as they reached a corner, Leon was attacked by one of the zombies. Olivia knew he could beat down that one so she focused on the second one, getting closer to Leon too. Olivia shot that one three times before it collapsed on the ground.

She looked over at Leon and he shoved a flash grenade into the zombie's mouth. "Close your eyes and cover your ears!" He yelled and she obliged. She turned away from the sight and covered her ears with her hands. 

Once the flash grenade did its job, Leon took her hand into his and they walked further along. 

They walked to the Clock Tower. 

"Stay here. I'm going to get the gear" Leon told Olivia and it stunned her. 

"What?!" she exclaimed "You want to go out there without me?! Hell no!" 

"Liv, I'll be fine. It's just downstairs" Leon replied.

Olivia shook her head "A lot can happen in that time. I'm coming with you, Leon"

"No, you're not," Leon told me.

She knew she could not win against him so she reluctantly agreed that she'll stay "Fine. Only on one condition"

"What?" He questioned.

"I can leave to watch you off the balcony" she responded.

He laughed and joked "Is this you being clingy?"

"I'm not being clingy, I'm making sure you won't die" she answered. 

"Sure," He said with a tone that told her he didn't believe me.

There was a part of her which wanted to look at Leon without making it seem weird but there was all of her who wanted to look over him to make sure he didn't die. Therefore, she didn't really lie but Leon already knew that. He didn't mind her being clingy, in fact, he liked it because when they met, she refused help and now she was practically asking for protection and vice versa.

Leon left the room and Olivia watched over the balcony, ensuring he did make it out of the library safely and go downstairs without trouble. 

However, there was one problem. The Trenchcoat Man saw Leon and was going after him. Olivia panicked and thought of a quick plan: I would distract him. 

She whistled loudly for Trenchcoat Man to hear and he looked straight at her, locked onto her instead. Leon noticed what was happening and gave her a nod, understanding her plan. Trenchcoat Man came up to the floor she was on and swiftly dodged past him to go back to the library. Olivia went to the Main Hall, where Leon was. The Trenchcoat Man was behind them.
