He is Real

Chapter 7

Warnings: Gore, Lemon eventually, language

*Author's Note: Eh, looks like three chapters a night/day are getting posted up. So yeah, I don't really feel like doing more than three a day for now, so stick with three a day. Don't own characters, don't own story, blah, blah, blah, you know the whole story. If not, go back some chapters and read it.

You looked down at your food. A piece of meat well cooked on a stick. You looked at it strangely and slowly brought it to your lips. You opened your mouth and pierced your teeth into the meat; you ripped a piece off and chewed it slowly. You slowly grinned widely.

"Wow, snake does taste like chicken," you stated and took out another bite.

"I told you," Luis replied, eating his own snake on a stick. You shrugged and continued eating.

"Are you sure it tastes like chicken?" Jessica asked nervously. You nodded and continued chewing. She bit her lip and brought the meat to her lips. She took a bite. "It does taste like chicken!" she said excitedly.

"Jeez, you're in love with chicken," you shook your head and continued eating along with the others. "Um...you don't think more of those things are out there do you?" you asked nervously, shifting your eyes side to side in case one might jump out unexpectedly.

"It's a probability, me and Luis will take shifts guarding while everyone sleeps, I'll take the first shift," Leon replied.

"Okay amigo, wake me up when it's my shift," Luis said and lay back with his arms folded behind his head. He closed his eyes. Luis' arm was paralyzed a shorter time then your leg since the parasite didn't cut his arm deeper then you had so he was able to move it sooner. You looked at your watch; it was midnight. You yawned causing Jessica to yawn.

"You two should get some sleep," Leon suggested as he threw his stick into the fire.

"Sounds like a good idea," you agreed and threw your stick into the fire. Jessica rubbed her eyes throwing her stick also. Once she laid her head on the dirt she was out. Jessica wasn't the kind of person who stayed up late; she was more of a morning person. You smiled at her sleeping figure and lay down also, tucking an arm under your head.

"Good night Leon," you whispered.

"Night," he replied and watched as you slowly closed your eyes and drifted off to slumber.

LEON'S P.O.V. (When I'm doing point of views of different people other then you I will be using I instead of you, okay? Okay!)

I looked at _________'s sleeping figure, smiling to myself. I couldn't believe she could sleep after what had taken place that would probably change her life forever. I knew how she felt. I suffered the same circumstances she has. I sighed. She didn't deserve any of this to happen, she was innocent, at least, I thought she was.

I still don't know much about her, but just the way she looked when she was sleeping, she looked like she wouldn't hurt a fly. Though she did kill those wolves, but that was out of protection. Seconds turned into minutes, minutes to hours and no sign of a threatening creature in sight. I laid my back against a large boulder behind me. Sleep overcoming my conscience mind. I suddenly heard whimpering.

I jerked my head into the direction of the noise only to see it coming from _________. Her body was twitching slightly, shaking. Sweat trickled down her brow. She was dreaming, maybe having a nightmare. She twitched a little more viciously. She was definitely having a nightmare. I racked through mind thinking if you should wake her or not.

YOUR P.O.V.


This nightmare was way too real, and you wanted to get out of it as fast as possible. You were surrounded. But not by ordinary people who had the Las Plagas implanted in them but your family, including your mother, father, sister and brother. There eyes all red and distant. Evil grins curved on their lips.


"Stop!" you yelled. "Please! Don't you remember who I am?! It's me, _________!" You tried talking some sense it to them but they kept coming closer, taking small steps. Your back hit a wall that appeared out of nowhere, it was a dream it didn't have to make sense. "Oh God...please someone wake me up! Anyone!" you tried to call out.


"This is just nightmare, none of this is real...it's just a dream created by my imagination," you whispered over and over again as you closed your eyes, hugging yourself. Suddenly someone grabbed you by the neck with both hands, strangling you. You screamed.

"_________?" Someone called out to you as they lightly shook your shoulder. You shot your eyes open, breathing heavily. You instantly sat up, softly touching your neck. "You all right?" You looked to your left to see Leon with a concern look in his eye.

"Yeah, I think so...i-it was just a nightmare," you panted and rubbed the sweat from your forehead with the back of your hand.

"That must have been some nightmare," Leon remarked as he laid his back against a tree beside you.

"Yeah..." you agreed and scratched the back of your neck nervously while sitting next to him against the large tree.

"You should get some rest," Leon suggested. You shook your head.

"No way am I going back to that dream," you replied. Leon laughed lightly. "Arent you tired at all though?" you asked him.

"A little..." he lied. You could tell by the sleep overcoming his eyes. You yawned loudly.

"You came here to investigate right? Since your suspicions are true what do you plan to do now?" you asked after a couple of minutes of silence. Leon looked up at the sky.

"There has to be a reason why the Las Plagas has traveled here, we have to find the source and destroy it...and hopefully find a cure for everyone who's infected," he explained. You slowly nodded as you looked at the fire that was still well lit, your eyelids threatening to shut.

"Yeah..." you whispered thinking about your dream. Slowly your eyes shut themselves but you put no effort to stop them. You leaned your head against the tree trunk.

"We'll find a cure for your town don't worry," Leon reassured but there was no answer from you. "_________?" He whispered and looked over to you. You were breathing softly, your mouth partially open. You were asleep. Slowly your head slid down the tree trunk and softly landed on Leon's shoulder. Leon blinked at you.

"Already making a move, I see..." Leon jerked his head to the voice. Luis stretched, now awake. "You work faster then me amigo." Luis smirked looking at your sleeping figure.

"Why'd you wake up?" Leon whispered, ignoring his previous statement.

"It should be my shift, no?" Luis asked while yawning.

"I guess..." Leon replied.

"Get yourself some sleep, I'll watch over you guys," Luis suggested.

"Yeah..." Leon agreed. He didn't want to wake you up by moving so he stayed where he was. He leaned his head against the tree and shut his eyes slowly drifting away to his dreams where is the only place he has no control over.

Sunlight shined over your eyes making you groggily open them. You yawned and focused your sight to what you were exactly leaning on, someone's shoulder. You furrowed your brow in confusion and looked up at the face of the owner of the shoulder to see it was none other then Leon himself. You blushed and backed off, feeling embarrassed to fall asleep on his shoulder.

"Aw, ________'s got a sleeping buddy," Jessica teased in a whisper. You blushed even more and looked over at her.

"S-Shut up, it was by accident," you defended.

"Sure it was," Jessica rolled her eyes playfully. You curved your lips in a smirk noticing she was sitting beside Luis.

"And what have you two been doing?" you asked. Jessica blushed.

"N-Nothing," she replied.

"We were just talking senorita, nothing to get worked up over, there's plenty of Luis to go around," he said with a laugh.

Jessica frowned at this.

"Maybe you should commit to only one person Luis," you replied and winked at Jessica. She quickly looked away. Luis shrugged and didn't say anything. He slowly got up and walked over to Leon.

"Amigo, wake up," he called out to him and shook him. Leon groggily opened his eyes. "We should continue walking."

Leon nodded and stood up while cracking his neck. You slowly got up on your feet along with Jessica. The four of you started traveling again to God knows where. You looked down to you digital watch to indicate the time but it was blank.

"You've got to be kidding me," you whispered to yourself. The battery had died. 'Can my life get any worse?' you thought and continued walking. The forest was quiet, too quiet. It made you nervous but you kept your cool. The sunlight lit the dark soiled path in front of you. This was going to be a long day.

*Author's Note: Okay, yeah, I know this was a short chapter, but man, did this have a lot of mistakes! Seriously! It doesn't sound like a big deal, and it makes me sound like a perfectionist, but wouldn't anyone agree that a story can only be great if the puncuation is correct? Would you really wanna read a story that didn't have the right commas and stuff? Maybe it doesn't bother any of you, but it sure bothers me!
