Awakened

Chapter 5

Leo walked out of the hideout in search of a Max. Although he didn't find him there was trails of blood on the floor that showed where Max had gone. A grim smile formed on Leo's face. His prey fell into his trap just as intended. Before following the trail he made sure that Rebecca was there as leverage.

Rebecca's leg had been damaged by the battle of Leo and Max. That didn't matter to her she was going to get out of this place even it killed her. She limped to the door and turned the knob which seemed to be locked. Luckily for her, she had to get through life by breaking into houses. She used a spare hairpin which was used to unlock the door. She walked into the hallway stumbling as she walked into a table with a vase on it. Unfortunately, Leo had an ultra instinct which made her presence known to him. She could hear Leo putting in a code for the door that led outside. She raced through the hallway twisting and turning as she went along. Once she found a place to hide she locked the door behind her.

"Rebecca!" Leo called out his voice echoed throughout the halls. His footsteps came closer and closer to where she was hiding until they stopped right in front of the door keeping them apart.

"I know you're in here Rebecca."  He slowly turned the doorknob making Rebecca breathe more and more rapid. There was nowhere for her to go she was cornered. Much to her luck, a big bang came from outside turning Leo's interest elsewhere. Rebecca let go of a breath she didn't even know she was holding. She unlocked the door and went outside.

Leo unlocked the door of the hideout to see where the ruckus was coming from. Much to his surprise, he saw three people standing in front of him. It was Amy, Veronica, and Max. A snicker came out of his mouth. "Isn't this just cute."

"WHERE IS SHE?!" Max's voice was louder than he ended for it to be.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Max slammed Leo against the wall drawing a laugh out of him once again.
"What is so funny?" Max's teeth were now gritted.

"I find it funny how u think 2 Leons could defeat me." Leo summoned a ball of fire from his hands and threw it at Max launching him into a tree. Max was quick to recover and a face of shock. "How did-"

"How did I know about Amy having the aura of a raven or the fact that I can summon fire through my hands?"

"To sum it all up you did a horrible job into turning her into a Leon, although I would hardly call her a Leon. She is merely a halfling at most; she'll die within in the next few weeks without proper Leon blood and did you really think that you could get that hit on me the last time we fought. I went easy on you that time, but this time you won't be so lucky."

A fireball appeared in Leo's hand once again this time it was bigger than the last.

"Come at me!"

Leo began laughing uncontrollably. "I'm not aiming for you."

Max's gaze immediately went towards Amy and Veronica. Fear began to grow within their eyes. A mysterious figure came rushing through the tree lines. Max thought that this person was here to help them turns out that they were helping Leo. They pulled up their hood to reveal Rebecca's sister Victoria. As she did this Rebecca had gone outside to see what the bang was about. Her face widened at the sight of her sister.

"You!"

All heads turned to Rebecca although the only ones that weren't happy to see her were both Leo and Victoria.

"Hello, baby sister it's been a-"

Rebecca through a knife that had been in her pocket at Victoria. In the blink of an eye, Victoria teleported in front of Rebecca holding a sword to her throat.

"You have made the worst mistake of your life."
