Whispers in the Dark

-Chapter 3: Kindness can be a Weapon-

"Not safe. Not safe." Leslie muttered behind her. She peek around the corner to see some of the nurses walking around in a slow pace, except they aren't not the same as before. Their skin is a lot paler, not to mention piece of their skin is missing. Their eyes glowing white almost like a hollow glass with no emotions, humanity inside. Not to mention there was blood on their clothes.

These nurses weren't the first people they seen like this, but she is sure they will not be the last. What ever is going on, it is definitely not normal. It must be Ruvik's doing. He killed everyone in the main hall right in front of her eyes, not to mention she seen him do things that is beyond anything she ever has seen before.

Amelia curse under her breath. This is the third time; they have no choice, but to turn around to find a different way. The two patients don't stand a chance against them, those things. "Yeah, they don't look... human either." She said.

Amelia held Leslie's hand tighter as they turned around in the hallway of the hospital to head in a different direction. It doesn't help that they don't know the all of the hospital exits, despite being here most of their entire life. They were limited to certain areas; they were hardly able to go outside.

'Even if we do escape... where will we go?' thought Amelia, thinking over their situation. Should they go get help? Will people even believe patients? They might think they have done it.

She snap out of her thoughts when Leslie tugged her arm. She look back at him. "What is it?"

"He's here. Here. He's coming... Leave. We must leave."

Amelia stare at him in bewilderment, unsure what he meant by that. "Who is he-"

Her eyes widen as her body suddenly tremble when a dark chill went down her spine. However, this 'chill' is coming in like a wave to her, getting stronger by the second. An uneasy feeling center in the pit of her stomach. It was like her body is telling her something is going to happen, and they need to get out of here.

She turned towards the left of them to sense it coming from over there. Leslie tugged her hand, pulling her with him to go towards the right. "Run. Run. We must run." He said.

Amelia nodded as she held his hand tightly, and they both took off down the hallway on the right side. It was hard to describe the feeling. It was like she could sense something is coming. Leslie must have known it before she did. If he didn't told her; they could encountered whatever is down that hallway before it was too late.

"Get away. Get away from here."

"We'll get out of here, Leslie-" A loud ringing noise echo throughout the hall, stinging inside of her ears to her head. Her hands grab the side of her head as she cried out in pain. Her head pulsing with pain, almost as if it was about to crack.

"Ahhh!"

Amelia looks over to see Leslie on the ground, holding his head as he's crying out more than her. The noise is doing more damage to him. "H-Hang on."

She grabbed his hand, and forcefully dragged him with her down the hallway. Her head still screaming out in pain as the noise continue. She bit the bottom of her lip to the point where blood is drawn. Enough to push herself to go down the hallway, ignoring little of the pain. Her mind is mostly focus on Leslie, and his safety. She has to get him away from here.

"This noise..."

Her hand let's go of Leslie's. She falls down to the ground on her kneel, succumbing to the pain. Her eyes close shut as she grip the sides of her head to the point where her knuckles are white. Uneven breathing drawn out of her lips, as she tries to calm herself down, only for it to be futile. Her head feels like it's about to explode.

Her eyes open to see Ruvik standing down the hallway. The last thing she saw before her vision goes dark once more as the pain took over her.

"A-Addy."

Leslie reach out for his unconscious companion after the ringing noise disappeared. He picked her up in his arms, shook her a few times to wake her up. Her eyes continue to remain close, but she was breathing much to his relief.

"Addy, wake up. Wake up." He said, looking up to see that man still standing down the hallway. He quickly went back down to shake his companion awake. "Get up. Get up. Please get up." He look back up to see that man appeared in front of him. The young male patient jump back slightly. He held his friend closer to his chest as he lean over to protect her.

Ruvik stare down at the whimpering boy. "I am not here to harm either of you." He said.

Leslie looks up at him confused, afraid, but has mistrust in them. Most of all protection for the person in his arms. His eyes filled with slight defiance, despite being scared out of his mind. It made Ruvik give a slight smirk. He knew what relationship these two have, but he did not think the boy will feel strongly the same as her.

Ruvik looks behind them then turn towards the down the hallway behind him. "It's not safe here..." Ruvik kneels down, reaches out to Amelia, looking at Leslie to watch his reaction. Leslie look hesitant, but slowly loosen his grip. He trust him. Ruvik scoop the young female patient in his arms, and stands up on the ground. "... Follow me." He gives a small smile to the boy, slightly convincing him more.

"Okay... Okay." Leslie nods, gets up off the ground following him down the dark hallway. Ruvik glances back to see him almost close to him as if he was a child seeking a parent's company. It was not the first time Leslie has ever done this, but it did surprise him, due to the young boy's mistrust to people.

'Kindness can be a weapon.' thought Ruvik. His eyes glances further back. A smirk appeared on his face as his white orbs spot that detective down the hallway before disappearing with the two patients.

A/N: Sebastian will be in the next chapter, sorry lol If some of you didn't know, Leslie is terrified, but also drawn to Ruvik. He fascinates him, but yet scares him. I'm not sure how Ruvik treated Leslie in the game, because there wasn't that much interaction, nor dialogue between the two. However, I can tell Ruvik made sure Leslie is safe due to him being compatible in the game. Also Leslie being... Leslie lol I'm assuming Ruvik is a little nice to Leslie. You know manipulate him to trust him, aka a small reason on why Leslie is drawn to Ruvik so he kind of gave in to Ruvik at the end of the game. Just a little thought~

This is following somewhat of the game, but almost differently as you can see.

Alright I have to ask you guys. Would you guys like to see some Leslie/Amelia too? I might not have it be a Sebastian/Amelia too, unless you guys want me to? Don't worry, Ruvik/Amelia is endgame. So other pairings don't really matter. Let me know~
