Chapter 8

Warnings: Future Lemon, gore, language

*Author's Note: It doesn't sound like I've got a very big job, does it? It sounds like I'm just some copier, paster, and checker? Sorry, but it's not as fun or easy as that. Being a checker means I've got to go through every single chapter AGAIN, re-reading it all, just to make sure you readers out there are reading it correctly without all of DestinedShadow's mistakes in spelling and puncuation. Wouldn't somene agree that that stuff is important? I'm not a nobody just fixing stuff here, you know.

The four of you walked silently in the same positions you had yesterday. Leon leading the way, you and Jessica in the middle and Luis in the back. It was still silent besides a few bird chirps here and there. Leon stopped and lifted up a large branch that block the path. He motioned for you and Jessica to go. You two did without hesitation and waited for the two so Leon can lead the way again.

You continued on down a narrow path. Leon turned to the right. You both followed along with Luis. "Welcome Stranger!" someone suddenly said causing Jessica to jump. Leon and Luis quickly turned and aimed.

"Holy shit!" you screamed in surprise and hid behind Leon. You slowly looked over his shoulder to see someone you wouldn't expect, Luis and Leon lay down their guns.

"You're real too?!" Jessica exclaimed while pointing at the mysterious figure. His piercing white eyes stared at you all. It intimidated you, which is why you still stayed behind Leon. He wore a rather large brown cloak, a hood over his head and a purple bandana covering half of his face. He wore a large pack behind his back.

"I've got something that might interest you, stranger," he said as he opened his large cloak to reveal weapons and bullet cases.

"Okay, so the merchant is real too? Cool, I fucking love that guy!" you said excitedly. Everyone looked at you. You laughed nervously. "What?" you asked shyly. Leon looked back at the merchant.

"We have no money to pay you," Leon said to him.

"Yeah we do," Jessica spoke up. "__________, do you still have your wallet?" You nodded and took out your black wallet from the back pocket of your jeans. "I even have some money with me, too." Jessica took out her own wallet.

"I forgot we kept them in our pockets when we were grocery shopping," you said sheepishly and scratched the back of your neck.

"We could use some bullets," Luis said as he was eyeing a bullet case for his Red9 gun.

"Here," Jessica threw him her wallet.

"You sure, senorita?" he asked. She shrugged.

"It' not like I'm going to need it." Luis nodded and bought the shotgun that the merchant had and some bullets.

"Thank you," the merchant said as Luis gave him the money.

"Buy the TMP," you suggested as you pointed to a machine gun. "Here," you handed Leon your wallet.

"Thanks," he said as he paid for it and some bullets for the TMP and his 9mm handgun.

"No problem," you responded.

"Heh, thank you," the merchant said as he received the money. You suddenly stepped in front of Leon.

"I just have one question for you," you said as you pointed to the merchant. "How do you get to places so fast?" you asked. Leon grabbed your wrist.

"Come on, __________," he said as he pulled you with him.

"Wait, I want to know the answer to that question too," Jessica agreed. Luis pushed Jessica along.

"We don't have time to question," Luis said as he strapped the shotgun on his back. Leon let go of your wrist and led the way while putting his gun in its holster and equipped himself with the TMP. You looked over you shoulder to look back at the merchant but the space he occupied was empty.

"What the fuck?" you questioned to yourself. You shook your head and shrugged it off and continued to follow. 'I guess some things are better left unanswered...but still,' you thought. Suddenly voices were heard from beyond the pushes.
Leon put a hand up, motioning for you two to stop. Leon kneeled down and looked beyond the bush for a minute before waving his hand for the three of you to walk slowly. You did just that and kneeled down beside him.

"What is it?" you whispered as quietly as you could. He pointed beyond the bush. You peeked through. Two men were talking to each other; they were in front of a small village. The men started to speak.

"Os intrusos escaparam na floresta longe de nossa emboscada em Parada De Gonta," one of the men said.

"Translate," Leon whispered to you. You gave a nod.

"Okay, he said: The intruders have escaped into the forest away from our ambush in Parada De Gonta...shit, they're talking about us," you whispered. The other man then spoke up.

"Informe Lord Rivera Salazar."

"That's pretty self explanatory, inform Lord Rivera Salazar," you said.

"Salazar?" Luis asked. You nodded.

"Didn't he die though?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah..." Leon replied.

"But they said Rivera Salazar, that's a girls name..." you said puzzled. You looked back at the two men that stood there.

They had gone off. "Salazar and Rivera...could they, um, be related some how? I don't remember a girl enemy in the game besides the villagers though."

"Looks like we'll find out soon," Leon whispered. "C'mon, we should go around the village."

"But there might be stuff in there we need," Jessica said simply.

"This isn't like the game senorita, there isn't anything they have that could be of use to us," Luis replied as he stood up straight.

"They could have clues, papers or something?" you remarked.

"It's too dangerous, we'll be out numbered," Leon replied. You sighed and shrugged. "Lets keep going." Leon stood up and started walking deep into the forest quietly in order to not alert any villagers.

You and Jessica followed a long, taking slow steps. Suddenly, rattling noises were heard, like an engine that was starting up. Wait, that wasn't an engine.

Your eyes instantly grew wide. 'Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,' you chanted in your head. "Please tell me that's not what I think it is..." you whispered in a shaky voice. You slowly looked over at Jessica, horror reflected off her face.

"Chainsaw guy..." Jessica muttered in a low voice that you could only hear.

"Where's it coming from?" Luis asked looking around with his gun aimed at random places. Suddenly the sound was getting louder and louder until tree branches fell to the ground, being cut by something sharp.

A man stepped out. A sack over his head hiding God knows what under it. He wore dark jeans and a light gray blue sweater. He held up a chainsaw with both hands.

"Oh my fucking God! Chainsaw guy!" You shouted, pointing at him horrified. The chainsaw Ganado ran towards you and Jessica. Luis quickly tackled you both down away from the highly dangerous weapon. Leon instantly took fire with his TMP shooting it rapidly. Luis got up.

"Stay down," he ordered as he took out his shotgun and started shooting at the craze chainsaw maniac. Screams and yells were heard behind you.

"Shit, those villagers probably are coming over here! Just GREAT!" Jessica said sarcastically.

"Mother fucker..." you cussed under your breath. Leon and Luis continued to shoot the chainsaw Ganado not being able to hear the many footsteps coming closer because of the loud bullet shots.

"MATE!" you heard a males voice yelled. Suddenly the Ganado finally fell on the ground with a loud thud.

"Lets get out of here!" Leon yelled as he pulled you and Jessica off the ground by your arms. Leon then tossed an oval shaped object to Luis. Your eyes widen when you recognized it as a grenade. Luis pulled the pin and threw it a few feet farther from where you and Jessica have been sitting.

"Go, go, go, go, go!" Luis chanted over and over again as we ran as far as we could on the opposite direction before the grenade had fallen on the floor. Suddenly a large explosion came from behind you making all four of you get thrown in the air and landing harshly on the ground.

Screams were heard through the distance as debris flew in the air. Luis and Leon held both of you down until there was no more debris. You slowly lifted your head and looked behind you, fire was flickering around the area you just were.
Blood was splattered on the trees. A sickening aroma of burnt flesh filled your nostrils making you gag. You immediately plugged your nose.

"I guess it's not to dangerous to go in the village now, huh?" Jessica said with a slight smirk.

*Author's Note: Er, yeah, there was a bit more swearing in this chapter than the others, I think. I'm not sure, but I just need to point this out; I DO NOT SWEAR. This was all written already, so I have not, nor will I ever, write a swear word. Sorry, don't mean to sound like a loser or anything, but I'm not gonna start swearing any time soon!
