Warped Sins

Chapter 7: Little Lion man

The night before, Sean was wandering around, looking for the location the suited man told him about. He was jumping across rooftops, wandering alleys, searching for the address that matched what was written on the note. He was getting bored of searching. None of the names of the streets seemed familiar. After a while, Sean started to believe he was given a fake address.

"Dammit! I thought that idiot would give me a proper address after me letting him live."

Sean was not just bored, but was becoming pissed that he has wasted so much time. He stopped on the roof of a small building. He was only a couple stories up. Sean decided he would take a break, then maybe go back to see if the suited man was still paralyzed with fear in the alley.

Suddenly, while Sean sat over the edge of a building, he noticed a familiar face wandering around. It was the large Leonardo walking down the street with a fierce look in his eyes.

Sean smiled to himself then quietly said, "Well then mister lion, what are you up to?"

As he said those words, Leonardo froze, and his yellow eyes shot up staring directly at Sean. Sean felt a chill run down his spine. Despite the intense fear he got from Leo's intense gaze, Sean couldn't help but smile.

Leo closed his eyes, and looked down. He slowly breathed in an attempt to keep a leveled head.

Sean's excited smile quickly became a disappointed frown.

"And here I thought he might entertain me for a bit."

After Sean said that, he blinked, but when his eyes opened, Leo was standing directly behind him. Sean then looked up and behind himself to see Leo. Sean's face went back to the relaxed smile he showed Bale at the cafe.

As Sean smiled at him, he said, "Hey! How are you doing Bud-"

But before he could finish, he was sent flying straight into the wall of the building beside them, however, instead of his body laying in the rubble of the wall, Sean joyfully hopped out of one of his swirls of light behind Leo. Leo turned around to face Sean, but noticed Sean already had a knife placed against Leo's throat.

In the blink of an eye, Leo grabbed Sean's arm with the knife, and said, "I'm not here to fight."

Sean then shouted in response, "Too bad! I'm bored."

Sean jumped and aimed a kick at Leo's chest, but as his leg was about to hit, a blue swirl appeared swallowing his leg. The leg then came out another swirl that was placed at the back of Leo's head. Leo was then sent flying forward from the kick to his head. Sean pulled his leg out of the swirl, and when Leo's grip loosened from getting kicked, Sean broke his arm free from Leo's grasp.

Sean was preparing for his next attack, but Leo was already in place for a punch. Leonardo gave no time for Sean to react as he landed a heavy punch right into Sean's stomach. Sean went flying back, but this time, he didn't get saved by his swirl. As Sean's body hit the wall, he coughed up a large amount of blood.

Leo walked over to Sean as he sat against a wall, hunched over, like a lifeless doll.

As Leo got closer, he said, "I didn't want to fight you, I just knew if I started with anything else, you would've gotten bored and left."

Leo stood in front of him, looking down.

"I knew that fighting you might mean death, and that the only reason I'm still alive is because you thought it'd be more fun to go easy on me." He glared at the limp doll and asked, "Am I wrong?"

Sean's head started to move. He looked up at Leo, with blood running down his mouth, and said, "Of course you're right. We both know the only reason anyone is still alive is because I chose to let them live."
