"Leo! Look out!!" You warned, attempting to get out of the ropes you were tied in. 

Two empousa had kidnapped you, hoping to lure your boyfriend to save you. Obviously, their plan was working thus far, except they forgot one minor detail. Leo wasn't scrawny nor stupid, and could kick their sorry asses.

Leo ducked, thanks to you, avoiding the claws of one of the empousa. He was successful in flaming one of them to death, the one that called herself "Becky". Becky was alright to you, she wasn't too violent, tried to keep you as comfortable as possible and was practically a slave to the other empousa, Nicole. You would've considered letting her free if she hadn't died. 

Nicole was a different story. She treated you like crap, physically and verbally abusing you whenever she got the chance. Since it took Leo a day or two to find you, it was Nicole's idea to start drinking your blood. It was especially disturbing since you knew Nicole was only doing it to torture the hell out of you. Empousa were only supposed to drink male's blood, and you were not a male.

Nicole seductively smiled at Leo, licking her lips. "You don't really want to kill me, do you?"

Leo blinked cluelessly, as if actually being pulled into the lies of the empousa Nicole.

"Leo, stop! Kill her!!" You cried, tugging at your restraints.

Hearing your voice, Leo was pulled out of his daze. He immediately stabbed Nicole and smirked as she turned to golden dust. His expression quickly changed when he saw you, dashing forward to cut the rope that restrained you.

You were torn up and weak, definitely at a loss of blood and you weren't positive you could feel your feet. Leo helped you up, and to your dismay, the belief of yours that you could stand up straight was false. You collapsed, Leo quick to catch you in his arms.

"I guess you could say you....FELL FOR ME." Leo laughed in victory, proud of himself for making a pun so quick.

You held on to his shirt tightly as he laughed. "Leo, kind of in the need of medical attention, could you save the puns for later?" 

"Yea, right. Sorry about that, autumn. Get it, cause you fall all the time."

"LEO!!"

"Alright, okay. On our way to Will Solace."
