Raccoon City || (Leon Kennedy X Reader) BOOK 1

Chapter Twenty-One

I cough hard in my throat, tasting blood all over my mouth. I slowly turn my head to where I came from. Is this a vault? I look out and see the massive opening I flew through, I watch as the bridge comes down, seeing Leon and Ada. I then watch Ada fall, making me watch my opening close from a massive door. I allow my head to rise, feeling my torso in pain. I wince and slowly allow myself to settle with the sharp pains. I then look around, I try to stand up until I hear a crack. I yelp with pain, feeling my bones go into place once more. 

I cough into my hand, seeing blood on my palm. I wipe it off with my coat, feeling my life giving out. I quickly see a screen flash with a face, I stand up, making my way slowly towards the bright screen. It's a woman..?

"Hey! Hey! Do you hear me?" I quickly look around for a button, I slam my hand and speak up to her.

"Yes I do hear you, please tell me you're not a scientist." She looks around and shakes her head.

"No, I'm not. Listen, this place is about to blow. You have to get out of here--" The video cuts off, I quickly press the button once more.

"Blow? What do you mean blow? Hello? Hello!" I slam my fist, knowing I have to start moving. I quickly leave this room, seeing the screen light disappear. I limp, knowing I am in no shape to fight. 

I take out my pistol and throw away the coat, it's weighing me down. I then stop and turn to see the coat on the ground. I watch as the thing I used to escape glow, I stare at it, knowing I could use it. I quickly grab it, and turn the barrel towards myself, I look into the dark hole, seeing a claw. It's a grappling gun? That's why Wesker wanted me to shoot it, he knew the bridge was gonna crumble.

I quickly grip it, I have an idea of how I'm gonna get out of here. I quickly leave the room, feeling everything start to shake around me. As I slowly run out, I quickly walk across a bridge, I then fall when feeling the whole thing start to break. I use my left hand and place it onto the ground, as I kneel I look up and see a elevator. I aim the grappling gun, hoping it'll make it, I then lose balance. I wiggle the gun, as I watch the elevator start moving, I look away and shoot. 

I feel the wind hit onto my face as I finally open my eyes, I watch as my grapple stop when it reaches the railing. I see the claw retrieve back into the barrel, making my left arm swing onto the iron rail. I hold on as the platform quickens its speed. I pull myself onto the platform, before I could rest I see something falling onto the elevator. I run and roll over to the other side, watching the thing explode. The elevator quickly stops, and I look over to a hall, I run and jump over, seeing the whole platform fall. 

I hold my side, letting myself breathe. I then hear two people walking, I slowly look up to see that same girl before...and Sherry?

"Y/N!" I get up with happiness knowing she's okay. I spring over and kneel down, I place my hands on her face scanning to see anything.

"I'm guessing you know each other?" I stand up, holding my side tightly, not feeling a lot of pain anymore. I look over to see her, noticing she was the one to help her during this time.

"Yes, and you must be...?" She nods with a slight smile.

"Claire--Claire Redfield." I hold out my hand and she shakes it, I then pat Sherry's head. "Listen, we have to move--" I quickly cut her off.

"I agree, but Sherry and you...should go. I'll slow you guys down, I'm sure I'll leave, but Claire I need you to take Sherry and run." The halls lights start shaking, we all look around and watch the place start to crumble.
