Memory 1

"Six years have passed since that horrendous incident..."

Sonya

Sonya sat there silently in the back seat of the car thinking to herself. She looked out the window of the vehicle and o served the desolate terrain. It was the woods, barren and humid it was. You saw the occasional woodland creature, but that was it. Each passing second it seemed as if it was grayer than the next.

"So, señorita when you come back from this mission you want to come over my place?" this statement broke the female's thoughts annoying her.

"Sure, I won't." there was an underlying mock in her tone of voice, a hint of sarcasm as well. She caught Leon smiling at this about of the corner of her eye.

"I don't even know why I had to go on this mission with you." the female rolled her eyes, shifting to make herself comfortable in her seat. They've been driving for a while and Sonya was starting to get restless.

"Listen Sonya, we already went through this, it because we are one of the best agents in the system and the president wanted us to do it." Leon sounded defeated, and bothered as well. Sonya shrugged, looking back out the window into the abyss.

"Really? Come on does he really have to go? He can't hold it?" Sonya was getting antsy. It was time for her to get out the car, has been too long. Soon enough the officer handled his business.

Finally, reaching their destination, Sonya quickly jumped put of the car. It was out of habit, wanting to stretch. the outside was no doubt eerie. It was humid and cold, but it was early morning still so it might warm up later. The female zipped her jacket to stay warm.

"You okay?" Leon asked concerned, he was loading his gun. Sonya doing the same.

"I'm fine." Sonya tried to say reassuringly but she still had a bit of uneasiness in her voice.

"You Sure?"

"I said I'm fine." Cold. Ice cold. Leon just looked at her.

"Alright let's go." Leon took the lead, walking up a small trail into a log cabin. It looked like a cabin from woke of those cliché horror flicks. The duo made their way into the cabin, awaiting. They had seen a man with messed up clothing on and was putting wood in the already burning fireplace.

"Hello, sir have you seen this girl in this picture?" Leon had shown the picture of Ashley to the male. The male said an insult to Leon in his native to tongue, Spanish.

Sonya blinked, laughing to herself.

Leon turned, putting the picture back into his pocket, "Sorry to have bothered you." Leon said apologetically.

"Leon!" Sonya yelled frantically. With mock speed, he looked up and did a suplex to dodge the Spaniard's attack.

"Freeze..." Leon now had just finished gaining his composure and pulled out his handgun."I said freeze!" Calm, cool, collected. Words to describe the blond. Sonya was frozen in a haze and everything was happening in slow motion to her.

There was a loud bang, and Sonya flinched as Leon's attacker hit to floor. Lifeless. Leon didn't even bother to look at the body, turning to face Sonya. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." Sonya tried to say reassuringly but Leon could still tell the fear and horror in her voice.

Sonya clutched her necklace tightly. Her necklace was a black choker with a golden heart on it."Leon..." She paused."It was like he had no type of fear at all..." Now her eyes were starting to water but she didn't cry."he just kept walking towards me. I'm sorry I didn't shoot him."

"It's alright."
