Chapter 11: Innocents

Leslie ran over to me and embraced me into his arms. I hugged him back. I felt so relieved that he came to me. I couldn't stop the tears from falling. Leslie wiped some of my tears away and kissed me. I was surprised that he kissed me. I naturally kissed him back. After a few seconds we broke the kiss. He stood up with me in his arms. I didn't notice that Sebastian wasn't that far behind Leslie. Also I notice that the woman from a while back was with them.

Leslie walked me out of the room. My surrounding changed from being at the hospital from back to the horribleness that was this place. We followed the woman officer out and there was a sight I haven't seen in a while. It looked to be as if we were outside. We walked over to a bus that had Joseph in it. He was wounded. There was a lot of blood gushing out of him. He was shot.

"Are you ok?" I asked Joseph.

*sighs* *groans* "Yeah..." Joseph answered my question.

"He will be fine. I'm Juli Kidman." The woman officer introduced herself.

"Hi." I said. I had a bad feeling about her.

"Hello...hello. Hello" Leslie said to Juli.

Juli turned to face Joseph, "Hey. I'm going to go find some help for you. I'm going to take the patients."

Joseph nodded. Juli then turned to me and Leslie. "Let's take a walk."

Me and Leslie followed Juli. Leslie seemed to trust her. I might give her a chance. I didn't trust her though. Something was off about her. We walked a bit far from where we started. It wasn't until I saw a playground within eye sight that I didn't care how long we walked. Finally, something fun. I looked at Leslie and he had a childish glow on his face. We dreamed of what it would be like to be at a playground.

There were swings with blue sets. The slide was yellow and red and a merry go round with different colors. It was like something out of a book. I ran over to the swings and sat down. I started to swing and for once, I had fun. Leslie and Juli were talking. Leslie looked so very happy. He must've been talking about home again. He gets so happy and excited when he talks about home. I watched them for a while. I slowed down with the swinging and started to just push myself with one foot.

I watched carefully for Leslie. He was walking towards the slides. I looked over at Juli and she had her gun raised. She was pointing it at Leslie. She was going to kill him. Then I saw Sebastian pointing his gun at Juli. I was just happy Leslie was facing the other way. I got up from the swing and walked over to where Leslie was. I heard a bit of what Juli and Sebastian were talking about. She was going to kill Leslie because of Ruvik. I couldn't let that happen.

I picked up my pace and started to run to Leslie. That's when it happened. Juli shot her gun and I leaped in front of Leslie. It hurt so badly. She shot me in my stomach. I gasped and groaned. The pain was terrible. I saw on the ground a pattern of flowing blood giving form. I looked around and everything looked to be like I was looking through a tube. I heard Leslie say no. I heard Sebastian's voice. He was telling me to stay awake. At that moment, I blacked out.
