Chapter 11: Domain of the Queen Leech
They made it out to the stairs; they could hear Ebony below, searching for them. They hurried up the stairs until they reached the next floor.
"We need to try and find the key for the fourth floor; otherwise we're not going anywhere." Jason explained.
Lisa nodded in agreement. "Well, we have the key for the third; let's see if it's in there."
Jason unlocked the door and they hurried into the third floor. They stopped dead in their tracks as the door closed behind them. They finally took in their surroundings. Lisa groaned awhile Jason shook his head.
"Oh...fuck me."
The room was covered in slime and dead bodies; there in the centre of the room, looking right at them, was the Leech Queen. They took a step back and swiftly, silently, pondered their options. They could stay and fight; there was a chance the Leech Queen wouldn't be immune to bullets; or they could flee and take their chances with Ebony. The Leech Queen seemed to wait for them to make the first move, Lisa then spotted something.
"It's got the key." She said, pointing it out to Jason.
He nodded when he saw it; that had decided it for them, they would stand and fight. They drew their guns and prepared.
The Queen Leech immediately lashed out with her tentacles. They ducked, dodging them and opened fire. Most of its body was strong and barely yielded to the bullets. It continued to lash out at them forcing them to dodge. They fired directly at the mouth, using as much firepower as they dared. Constantly alert in case Ebony attempted to attack them from behind. While they were able to stun it and prevent it from using some of its more dangerous attacks by shooting the mouth, they were unable to damage it. Jason began to worry; they were running low on ammo again.
'What does it take to kill this thing?' He wondered quietly to himself; desperation making it difficult to concentrate. 'What did the file say about, think, think.'
He ducked under another attack and he and Lisa threw their last grenades into its mouth; knocking it back. Jason then saw the window and the view outside. It was then he remembers, almost like a flash in his memory.
'Of course.'
He quickly checked his watch; not much longer.
"Lisa." He called out. "We gotta keep this up, dodge the attacks and stay out of its way, another ten to fifteen minutes at least."
She looked at him confused. "What, why?"
"The sun will rise then, it's weakness it sunlight, then we can kill it normally."
"I hope you're right." She replied, "Ebony's still chasing us."
Jason nodded and they prepared to put their stalling tactics into action.
They ducked under a pair of tentacles and used their knives to hack at a few that came to close. They used their handguns and Jason fired several shots from his shotguns. Lisa unleashed a barrage of submachine gun fire at the monster, forcing it to back down. It roared and began to stalk towards them again, when, right on time, the sun began to rise; finally making it above the trees and its rays fell into the room. With the windows no longer obscured, thanks to the fight, the sunlight directly hit the Queen Leech. She began to convulse violently and shrieked in agony as she was weakened. Jason and Lisa looked at each other and smiled, now was their chance.
"Go for it." Lisa declared. "Finish it off, then we can get the key and get outta here."
Jason nodded in agreement. "Okay then; time for this ugly bastard to say goodnight."
With that he pulled out his shotguns, both held only one shot left. He took aim and fired. The bullets struck and the Queen Leech shrieked again before going still and the body slowly burned away. Jason and Lisa breathed heavily and relaxed. Jason discarded his now useless shotguns and picked up the key. He then turned to Lisa, smiling.
He walked over to her.
"Well, we're nearly there." He said; there was an unfamiliar edge to his voice. "Lisa, I'm sorry to have to drag you into my...'family problems'. But there's no one I would rather have at my side to aid me."
She smiled. "I'm glad, but this is where I want to be, at your side. We can overcome this, together."
Jason nodded and they then kissed. Knowing it could possibly be their last chance, every emotion, every raw feeling they had for each other, went into the kiss. When they finally parted they smiled at each other; they finally felt ready for the challenge that lay ahead. They still had to stop Trevor, but there was one other thing that stood in their way. As if on cue Ebony roared from downstairs, she would be coming up soon, they would need to hurry. Jason thrust the key into his pocket and began to head towards the door with Lisa at his side.
"Weapon check." He declared.
"I've only got my knife and handgun; my submachine guns only have one clip each left." Lisa replied before asking. "You?"
"My handguns and knife, that's it."
Lisa sighed but then nodded and together they left the room, prepared for the next step.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
