Chapter 12: Awakening

"NO!"

"How could you Kidman?!"

"I-I was aiming for the boy!"

"What is wrong with you?"

"Oh, so I'm the bad guy?"

"Get out of here before I shoot you myself!"

"You're sick. Protecting the boy like this is going to get you killed. Hell, all of us."

"GO!"

"Come on stay with me!"

"Is...Is... Is she going to be ok...ok...?"

"She lost a lot of blood but I think she'll be fine."

"Fine...fine fine fine...fine...fine...fine..."

"She is going to be ok Leslie. Calm down."

"The blood...blood. Blood..."

"Come on... Let's take her somewhere where we can patch her up."

I opened my eyes and everything was a blur. I rubbed my eyes and looked around. I tried sitting up and it hurt. I touched my stomach and felt a bandage on it. There was blood that seemed to have leaked through the bandaging. All I could think of was if Leslie was ok.

"Hey, you're awake." Sebastian said in a relieving way.

"Yeah...Where's Leslie?" I asked him.

"He's asleep by you." Sebastian let me know as he pointed to my white haired friend.

I looked to my left and there he was. I was surprised he was sleeping. He never really sleeps. He has nightmares where he wakes up screaming. My sweet man. He looked so heavenly sleeping. I've never seen him sleep. I scooted closer to him as much as I could and lightly ran my right hand through his hair.

"He must have been so worried." I told Sebastian.

"He wouldn't leave your side." Sebastian smiled lightly after he said that. "You two...together?" he then asked.

I smiled through the pain and nodded, "Yeah...we are."

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but we have to get out of here and fast. I don't think this Ruvik guy is playing with us anymore. He means business. I'll carry you." Sebastian let me know what was going on.

I gently woke up Leslie. He jumped and screamed. He looked around at the room then he looked over at me. The glow in his eyes when he saw me sitting up and awake was so beautiful. He had the biggest smile on his face, mouth so wide and his teeth showed. I couldn't help but smile back at him. He got up quickly and sat next to me. He hugged me and I winced. He then loosened his grip.

"You...you're...alright. I-I...I was so sc-scared..."Leslie told me.

"I'm alright. I'm perfectly fine." I reassured him.

He looked me over and saw the blood seeping through the bandages. He looked at me looking very concerned. I reached my hand up to touch his face. He touched my hand and leaned over to kiss me. This kiss was different, it was more passionate.

"I ...I am lost with...without you." Leslie said to me softly.

I nodded with tears in my eyes. Just then Sebastian lifted me up. Holding me like I was a small child. Leslie got up and started to follow Sebastian. Sebastian took out his pistol and loaded it. I knew we had to go out and fight the monsters and Ruvik. I was a bit frightened that Ruvik might get to Leslie. If he gets to Leslie...he might give up and give in to him. I feel as long as I'm alive Leslie won't give up so easily. His will is strong and I believe in him.
