Resident Evil: Oblivion

I Put A Spell On You

"Selena!"

The girl was dropped onto her bed, bleeding, and her mouth mumbling unintelligible words. Blood spilled all over the comforter and the bloody knife glinted in the moon light coming from the window. Leon grunted and scooted himself up to sit up strait as Sebastiand grabbed Elizabeth's journal.

Gritting his teeth and clutching his bleeding chest with on hand, Leon brings his knee up and kicks Sebastian Saddler in the shin. He kicked the other man so hard a loud cracking sound echoed through the bedroom.

Sebastian fell to his other knee with an anguished cry and dropped the journal at Leon's feet. Hurrying to stand, he kicks over Sebastian and stands on the hand clutching the knife. Bending down over the man who looks up at him with resentment and anger that had accumulated over the years, Leon snatched the gun from where itd be stored in Sebastians waist band and pointed it at the owners forehead.

"The world was a better place with out any Saddlers in it," Leon ground through grit teeth. "This is the last time you'll hurt my family."

Sebastian started laughing. Full on chest heaving, cheek splitting laughing. After a moment of that he turned serious and looked Leon dead in the eye. "We will see about that."

The smugness was the last straw and Leon pulls the trigger twice. For the first time in his entire life, Leon felt satisfaction as he watched the life drain out of a mans eyes.

Selena made a sound on the bed, which brought Leon to stand and rush over to her side. She was still bleeding heavily and very pale. Paler than even when she had gotten shot. The blonde lifts up the hem of her shirt and first sees the little pink scar left from where Rebecca had healed her. And flipped her over so he could see her current wound. It was a large cut, but thankfully it was a very low chance he hit any important organs, and he hadnt twisted the knife. It was a clean cut through, although long.

Hurrying to his work pack he pulled out a red, green, and yellow healing herb concoction and immeadiatly started to apply the paste to the wound. It stopped the bleeding, but Selena was sweating profusely and she didnt gain any color back. The paste helped her own Wesker Gene's close the wound faster than he had ever seen before, but she didnt wake up.

Though she was sweating, she shivered so bad her lips trembled in her sleep. Leon quickly rummaged through her things for new pajamas and eventually found a pair of cotton shorts and an Old Navy tshirt, and undressed her from her bloody clothes, used a damp rag to clean her skin, and reclothed her. This of course was done after he discarded the top blanket to cover up the body in the room.

He moved quickly and silently, blocking out anything he might have felt about touching her bare skin again. When he was done, he brought her up into his arms and carried her to his own bed, laying her down in the middle of the mattress and covering her with the blankets to keep her from shivering. He checked her temperature next and she had a fever of 101.4 degrees, which was very worrying. He would call Rebecca and if the temperature climbed or doesnt move at all in a couple days, he would take her to the ER.

Next, it was time to get rid of the body. He hid the journal in Selena's closet for her to deal with when she recovered, and then he called the police. After the police, he called Alice.

"You've been raising her most of her entire life and you dont know how to break a fever," Alice cajoled through the phone.

Leon sighs into the tiny speaker, and then grunts as he struggles to pull out the bullet embedded in his right peck with tweezers. He himself was getting light headed from the bloodloss and couldnt wait for the paramedics. He didn't have the patience to.

"You okay?" Alice's voice had dropped in pitch, speaking slower to show she was concerned.

"I'm pulling a bullet out of my chest," Leon answers like a true smart ass.

"Well make sure you disinfect the wound well and get the paramedic to stitch you up. As for Selena, keep her cooled off. If she becomes conscious at all give her lots of anti-inflamatory like tylenol or Ibuprofen, and a cool bath. That should help some. I'm glad shes okay and wish I was there to help."

"You've got your own stuff going on," Leon grunts as he finally gets the bullet out and places it and the tweezers on a plate. He picks up the 90 proof rubbing alcohol. "Besides, I killed the bastard."

"So it's over?"

"I dont know. Chris said something about a guy named Arias was behind everything, but I dont know much about it. Theres still attacks going on around the world."

"Yeah, but I think we are wrapping it up. I've heard about Glenn from Claire and Rebecca, and we think Rebecca might be in some sort of danger, so we are keeping a close eye on her."

"Keep me posted."

"Will do. Bye, Leon."

"Yeah. Bye."

Leon hangs up the phone and pours some of the alcohol onto his chest, cursing loudly. Sirens echoed down the street as an ambulance barreled down the street and two squad cars followed close behind. Leon pressed gauze to his bullet wound, but didnt see fit to waste wrappings when they would cut them off to examine him themselves anyways.

***

Leon sat on the edge of his bed checking Selenas temperature again hours after Sebastians body had been removed.

"We're gonna move," he whispers mostly to himself. "We've had teenagers and murders break in here...I'll quit once and for all this time, and we are gonna move."

Selenas eyes twitch, moving around under her eyelids. He hoped her dreams were better than her reality. He wondered if she dreamed of him like he did of her, and the thought made him feel dirty. Disgusted with himself he takes the thermometer that showed no change in temperature at all, and matched out of the room to go sleep on the couch.

************************************

So we are near the end now. I've got to ask. What are your thoughts about what happened between Leon and Selena? What do you think they should do about it. I'm on the fence about the results.

I guess I'm just asking to see what you guys want to happen and I'll twist it any way to make it as interesting as possible getting there.

Let me know, please! Coz I'm about to hit a writer's block again if I have to make the decision on my own.
