Happy New Year Everyone!
Chapter 27: Cornelia
Lair
Cornelia's POV
Where the heck am I? I open my eyes and saw white flakes all over the floor. I touch one, it was a snow flake. The whole area has been covered with snow. I don't know where I was but I think I'm in a winter wonderland. Last thing I remember, freezing Mich then a big explosion.
I stood up, aching my leg. It wasn't bleeding but it was swollen, blue and I could feel a little pain. I move carefully, conscious on my bruised leg. It seems that it was the sewer but except it has been covered with snow.
"Cornelia?" I heard my name from behind. The voice was worried and I heard it before. I turn around and saw Leo, with a worried face. He quickly runs to me and hugs me tightly.
"Leo? I'm okay." I said reassuringly. He did not answer but keeps on hugging me. I'm glad he's around, at least there's still someone who can help me.
Leo finally stops, "Nelia, we have been looking for you for days. You okay?" He asks again.
"How many? Yeah, my leg hurts though." He kneels down as he touches my left leg. Since I am wearing my jeans, he seems unsatisfied that he cannot heal it. He moves away.
"Three days. The whole sewer was covered with snow." He lets me sit and took out his bag and search for something. "Didn't know you could do that."
I nod, "Me too. I have never tried it before. Is everyone okay?"
"Yes, they are. We switched shifts every 4 hours to look out for you. Luckily, I found you."
Leo's voice was calm but alert. "I could not fix your leg but I could carry you." He suggested.
"I'm a little heavy." I complimented. Never in my life that a guy offered me to let him carry me. This is a little awkward for me especially Leo.
"It's okay. I did some weights." I nod, and he carefully carry me. At first I thought we were going to fall but he balances. "See? I told you." I laugh a little and we technically it was him, walk the sewer.
"Thank you Leo, if it wasn't for you. I probably would have freezes to death." I said, hoping to light up the mood.
"Uh - huh." He continue walking and I think he wasn't listening to me. "Next time, warn us when this happens."
"Yeah. Sorry about that." As it starts to freeze, I snuggle in his chest were it is warmer. My eyes closed, sleeping finally and waiting for us to arrive.
