"Leon?" I say, not being very able to see his face.

"Violetta?" He says. I guessed well, it was really him. But what did he do in here?

"Helen, you know him?" Louis says in a mad tone.

"Yes, he's my best friend" I answer, worried for what might happen to him after this. Or even, what might happen to me.

Louis walks over to Leon, helps him get up and stares into his eyes.

"Get lost, kid" He says throwing him in the back.

"NO!" I scream and they turn their faces so they could see me.

"What did you say, Helen?" Louis says again and walks to me.

"I said, no. You won't touch him. He's my best friend and I won't let you do anything to him. And I am NOT Helen. I know who I am, and this is not me. I can't do this" I say and go to Leon. Louis looked like he was burning inside, so I grabbed Leon's hand.

"Come" I say quick and start running with my new, very cool, speed. We arrived next to swamp. Everything was silent. I sat down, so did Leon. He looked at me, while I saw him with the corner of my eye. We just sat there, not saying a word. 

"What happened to you, turtle?" He says touching my leg and looking worried.

"I got and upgrade..." I say slowly, disappointed of this 'upgrade'. I felt like I lost my whole happiness. I felt used.

"And you're happy about this?" He says and sees the pain in my eyes.

"Of course not! I don't know what's happening to me" I say and lay my head on his shoulder.

"I should have watched you. It's all my fault"

"Don't blame yourself, it's my fault too."

After my words a long silence came. We just looked at the water, my head was still laying on his shoulder. But something was different this time. I heard a noise.

"Did you hear that?" I say.

"I did" Leon says and stands up. He takes a branch. "Just in case" 

I nod then see the leaves move. I stand up and go behind his back. Even if I was stronger, I need to be protected.

I looked behind the leaves and saw a body coming. It seemed to be a woman, young woman. But I wasn't sure yet. Suddenly I could see the person.
