Leon Scott Kennedy Story
Chapter 9
They froze when they saw Saddler waiting on the other side of the room at the top of a few small steps as they entered. He rose his hand and all Brogan could feel was the parasite inside her,she dropped to her knees as the searing pain ripped through her insides,Brogan glanced to her left to see Leon on the floor struggling to get to his feet fighting against the agony that she knew he felt.
"Come to me Ashley" Saddler said raising his hand beckoning her to him. Ashley's head dropped down and her eyes closed for a few moments before raising her head, opening her eyes which now appeared red like all the rest of Saddlers followers . Ashley started to walk slowly away from them both to Saddler,they both tried to get to there feet and grab her but the pain forced them back to the floor,Leon managed to throw a small tracking device which landed on Ashley's back as she climbed the steps to leave with Saddler.
"I'll let 'IT' deal with you and your lady friend Mr Kennedy"He said grabbing Ashley by the hand and walking slowly out the door. Everything started to spin out of focus and the only sound she could hear was her heart beating rapidly before everything started to go black .
Leon came to feeling dizzy,he sat still for a few moments trying to regain his focus then he looked to his left and found Brogan lying motionless on the floor. He crawled over to her with his pulse racing just then he noticed her chest rise and fall,with every breath she took the panic that burned inside him cooled. He stroked her face looking for some sign that she would open her eyes,he couldn't lose her,she was the calm when his world was crashing down around him. His eyesight blurred as he stared down on her beautiful face,when her eyes twitched he thought his heart was going to leap out from his chest,Relief washed over him as he saw her blink rapidly, finally her blue eyes opened fully and focused on his own,bringing a smile to his lips.
Brogan could feel a hand on her face as she tried to stop her head from spinning,the last thing she remembered was the agony inside as Saddler tried to pull her away from him but there wasn't a force on this earth that could make her leave his side,He was her heart,her blood,her passion and no one was going to deny her of him. Brogan blinked rapidly as she tried to open her eyes,When she finally managed to focus she could see Leon's blue/grey eyes staring down at her ,the worry in his eyes disappearing like the clouds giving way to the sun after a storm. Brogan managed a smile which grew larger when he smiled back at her,he pulled Brogan into him with an embrace so strong she felt invincible,that nothing could happen to her as long as she had his arms around her.
"Are you all right"He said loosening his grip to look into her eyes,
"Must've blacked out,I'm fine"Brogan answered rubbing her chest which felt as if someone had set fire to her insides and put it out with a bucket of acid.
"I must say,I'm impressed ,concerned but impressed all the same"He said rising to his feet and helping Brogan to hers in the process. She looked at him confused as she had no idea what he meant .
"I'm just saying that being able to resist going with him took real strength that's all"he continued , still not feeling satisfied she probed further
"And why is that cause for concern?".She asked grabbing his arm to steady herself still feeling a little dizzy. He smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her close to him before speaking.
"When I get you home I can tell your not going to let me get away with any crap that's all" he continued moving a stray few hairs from her face before indulging himself with her lips. For some reason when Leon kissed her the pain subsided and she felt a sense of calm wash over her. Leon had some sort of power over her,able to make any concern wash away with one simple action. Brogan pulled away from him to catch her breath.
"Damn straight,its my way there's no highway option." She said looking into his eyes and smiling before turning away and looking at the door Saddler left with Ashley in tow.
"Now,which way do we go"Brogan asked as they made there way across the room, climbing the few steps and approaching the door.
He meant every word,when they got out of here he wasn't going to let her go,he didn't care where that meant he'd end up, as long as it was with her. He couldn't believe how fast he'd fallen for her,he hadn't felt this way about anyone before except for the one person he shouldn't have, Ada. Seeing her again in the flesh was difficult but not in the way he imagined it would be. He resented her for using him for her own gain but he felt nothing else which surprised him. Leon assumed that if they did cross paths again he'd turn to mush but his first thought was to protect Brogan. All he knew was that whatever she wanted of him it was hers without question.
Brogan couldn't help but smile after his revelation,her hope for the future together he shared,she didn't know what to expect from him after this was all over and what life would throw at them but as long as he was by her side nothing else mattered.
They followed the signal through the maze of buildings,corridors and pathways encountering a lot of resistance in the form of Saddlers men,trying to pinpoint where Saddler had taken Ashley. As they found themselves moving through some underground caverns when the tracker started beeping rapidly indicating that Ashley was near by,but there hopes were dashed when Leon found the device in a puddle at his feet.
"Shit" Leon said bending down to pick it up. Brogan took a deep breath and looked around at the damp surroundings.
"Well now what are we going to do " She asked Leon who was standing a few feet in front of her looking for some indication of Ashley's whereabouts. Leon was about to speak when they both heard a rumbling sound which made the whole place shake like it was going to fall in on top of them at any moment. Brogan walked over towards Leon unsure of what was about to happen,she was just about to grab his arm when Leon's gaze was drawn upwards then he pushed Brogan hard to the right as this huge thing jumped down on top of him sending him and it over the ledge and into the darkness. Brogan fell to the floor hard ,after a few seconds she got up and ran to the edge where Leon was standing only a moment ago praying that he was OK,tears streaming down her face as she picked up the black bag that had fallen off his back and looked over the edge.
