Strange Comfort (RE6: Leon Kennedy x Reader) [Book#2] [COMPLETE]

Chapter Nineteen

(Time Skip)

My body won't...move..my eye lids won't open. I think I'm done-- my body wants to rest. The sounds of infected and people screaming near by were calling to me. (Y/n) come on, get up! I try to move small parts to move, mainly my fingers but they even didn't want to move. I felt a gentle hand reach for my wrist and pull me upward.

(Leon)- " Come on. I got you." his voice spoke smoothly..it was nice to hear someone look out for me.My arm was place around his shoulder and his other hand was near my waist, helping me up to my feet. A loud whirring sound came close-- a bright white light was shown on us. My eyes were closed, eyelids creating  a curtain to block the light out. I can't let Leon drag me around like this. I planted my feet firmly on the pavement, I straightened out my back the best I could. Leon sensed  I could stand on my own, he slowly released me. His hands still near by incase I couldn't hold my own. Eyes open to view a helicopter in front of us. I can see someone in the pilots seat.

(Y/n)- " Isn't that...?" I trailed off.

(Leon)- " Ada! I thought she was dead." Ada open fired on the infected that were making their way towards us. I reached for my weapon near my feet, I picked it up to wield it in my hands again. 

(Leon)- " Shit! There's too many of them" my eyes look for a way out. There! That could lead us somewhere safe.

(Y/n)-"Leon! This way!" we make way towards the alley. A static voice clouded our ears.

(Hunnigan)- " Leon! (Y/n), do you hear me? Are you all right?"

(Leon)-" We'll live...But I've got a feeling things are about to get worse" we make our way through a back entrance of a building. We made it out through another exit, there against a crashed  heavy vehicle standing by, a BSAA solider probably driving it. The solider turns around...a gasp escapes my mouth.

(Y/n)- " Cain...no..." I mumbled calmly...he drunkenly moves side to side, taking notice of me. He snarls and takes small steps towards Leon and I. He was alive-- not that long ago...what happened?!

(Leon)- " (Y/n)." he said my name calmly. I don't know what to do..I know I'm suppose to kill the infected-- but this is someone I know. I aim my weapon towards him. Hands slightly shaking. Leons footsteps stood next to me.

(Leon)- " You don't have to do this." I intensely stare at Cain, his mind empty--and dark..He's not Cain anymore.

(Y/n)-"I have to."I grit my teeth, my finger was placed on the trigger but my finger couldn't bring it back. Hands start to tremble. Leon places his hand on my pistol and lowering it down. I finally had a chance to take in a breath in---I can't do it, I can't kill someone I know.

(Leon)-" It's okay. Go." he hovers his hand near my lower back to give me a little push to keep going. It took a second for my feet to respond to command, I ducked under Cain when he attempted to reach for me. I went on ahead and opened a door to enter through. It shuts on its own, making the area I was in echo. My back leans against a wall, I gasp-- trying to calm myself again. My emotions were getting out of hand. I ran my fingers through my hair-- frustrated-- at what is happening. A few tears build up near the corners of my eyes.I groan at the frustration back there. Cain...he was alive and now he's gone. I cross my arms to keep me from punching a wall--something or someone. I walk up to the other wall and place my forehead leaning against it. Fuck-- I feel like a freaking child having a temper tantrum.A single gun fire was shot, my eyes dropped, head falls towards the ground. The door opens widely, in comes Leon with an unreadable expression. He steps towards me, and focusing on my eyes.

(Leon)- " Hey-- its okay." he places his hand on my shoulder. I take my forehead away from the wall and turn to face Leon directly.

(Y/n)- " Everything not okay, Leon." I was fired up, angry at myself and this situation we're involved in.

(Leon)- " There was nothing you could have done for him." I was about to raise my voice towards him-- but I threw my arms up but quickly put them back down.

(Leon)- " Calm down."

(Y/n)-" People are dying all around us--they get infected and turn on us. Cain was alive not that long ago-- and now he's gone! I couldn't put him down. What if you got infected...I couldn't be able to do it." I was starting to calm myself down as I was getting everything out... But the thought of Leon asking me to put him down... I can't-- I can't.

(Leon)- " If it comes to that."

(Y/n)- " What if you had to kill me? " I didn't want to ask him that question but I did. He gives me a blank expression, silent...I don't know how to read him.

(Leon)- " I won't let anything happen to you". He spoke in his deep raspy voice. Moaning echos down the hall way-- drawing our attention towards the dark hallway.

(Leon)- " Come on, we better go."

(Y/n)- " Yeah....sorry." I came to my sense. As we slowly make our way down the stairs. There a swarm of infected climb their way up. Leon takes something from his vest, a incendiary grenade. Tossing it at the bottom, igniting all the infected.

(Leon)- " Come on, we could use some fresh air." We reach the end of the hallway to get through another door at the end.
