He is Real

Chapter 15

Warnings: Lemon later on, gore and stuff, plus language

*Author's Note: Hmm, so.....maybe, maybe not, but I might put another chapter up, just because it's still pretty early in the day......I dunno.... Disclaimers from me, but still have the permission from original author on quizilla, and I don't own the characters of Resident Evil 4! (Wish I had Leon, though!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You stood behind Luis and Leon, in a partially safe place. You felt useless, no longer do you have the stick in order to protect yourself, but now you have a gun. Which you couldn't use, your aim was awful, and so was your confidence.

You doubted any chance of survival, only thinking of the negative aspects of the situation.

Even Jessica was helpful. She was taking out any lingering enemies, protecting you as well. She was known as brave, which made you feel even more of a nuisance. An irritated sigh escaped your lips. You decided to try again with the gun, not for the others but for your self.

To prove your self you were as helpful as everyone else, you weren't going to be another Ashley Graham. You aimed the laser directly at a man's head that was slowly walking towards Leon. The man then started running making you panic and pull the trigger. You opened your eyes to see it was an exact bull's eye.

You smiled to your self. There was a part of you telling you that it was just a fluke shot, but it was still something. A fluke shot wasn't going to bring down your confidence, not now.

Slowly the enemy numbers were being divided and less people were pouring in.

"Retirada!" one of the men shouted from outside. A man retracted his weapon away from Luis and turned around along with the rest of the crowd. They slowly walked their way out the door, one by one, leaving you all dumbfounded.

"Retirada? What does that mean, again?" you asked and looked over at Jessica for an answer. She furrowed her brow in thought.

"Doesn't it mean retreat?" you shrugged and averted your sight to the guys who were reloading their artillery.

"Stay here," Leon ordered as him and Luis slowly stepped towards the door. Luis jumped out shifting his shotgun side to side. Leon joined him. Jessica and you watched curiously.

"It's clear, you senoritas can come out," Luis informed, strapping the shotgun on his back.

You slowly walked behind Jessica through the door. Gazing out at the forest, you saw there was no trace of anyone, no enemies. You narrowed your eyes. That couldn't be right, there was at least eight enemies left alive and they just disappeared like that?

You sighed. "Can we take a break?"

Leon nodded seeing that you and Jessica were exhausted from the surprise ambush. Although it was not a surprise to you since that strange woman told you her plan. Jessica plopped down on the cool grass, throwing away her weapon.
She ran her hand down her face, wiping the sweat away. Blood smeared on her cheek as she wiped the exccess vital fluid on her dirty white pants. The blood blended with her red shirt. You looked over at Leon lifting up his pistol to hand to him.

"Come with me," he said nodding his head towards the forest.

You tilted your head to the side and dropped your hand. You followed him close behind through some bushes, leaving Jessica and Luis alone.

"Where are we going?" you asked, breaking the unbearable silence.

"I'm going to teach you how to aim," he smirked as he stopped at a clearing. You smiled.

"I'm not that horrible, am I?" you joked, playfully punching him on the arm. He cocked up a brow.

"Do you really want to have the answer to that question?" You rolled your eyes and shook your head.

"Okay mister big shot, teach me how it's done," you replied, placing your hand on your hip and rolling the gun on your finger in a circle.

"All right," he looked up and pointed.

"Aim at that large pinecone up there."

You looked up and furrowed your brow, slightly shutting your eyes from the blazing sun above you.

"Where?" you asked.

He came up behind you, hitting his well-fit chest against your back. You blushed, feeling his arms slip around you. He placed his hands on yours, tightening your grasp on his gun. He moved your arms with his, aiming up. Your sight followed the motion, following the red laser.

He stopped when the laser was upon the large pinecone he wanted you to aim at in the first place.

"Make sure your grip is steady enough to aim straight," he whispered in your ear, making your body shiver. You hesitantly nodded your head.

"Then pull the trigger."

You pulled the trigger back, making a fast, speeding bullet escape from the barrel of the handgun. It guided through the air, piercing right through the pinecone. It abruptly broke off of the branch and landed on the ground.

You smiled in triumph as you laid the gun back down. Leon let go of his grip around you.

"You'll have to aim and shoot faster then that, but it's a start," he stated. You turned around towards him.

"Thanks, maybe next time I can save your ass," you remarked, handing back his gun.

He lightly smiled. You looked into his crystal blue eyes. Mesmerized by their gleam. He didn't break his gaze upon you either. Slowly you leaned it, not being able to control your actions. You closed you eyes feeling your self get closer to his lips.

"Leon! _________! Lets keep going!" Luis called out to the both of you breaking your enchantment. You jumped back, blushing with embarrassment.

"S-Sorry..." you stuttered, averting you gaze down at the ground. You shifted your feet nervously. You backed away and turned around, walking at a quick pace back to the cabin.

'Shit, that was completely stupid!' you scolded your self as you passed the bushes forcefully.

"What's wrong with you?" Jessica asked, coking up a brow at your actions.

"Nothing," you replied rather quickly.

She curled her lips into a smirk, sending you an I-know-something's-up look. You mouthed the words 'I'll tell you later' towards her. She nodded and looked away, slowly standing up as Leon came walking through the bushes. You avoided eye contact with him.

You felt so stupid for even trying to kiss him. You didn't know what came over you, sure he was good looking but you were usually too shy to make the first move. You could only imagine what he was thinking of right now. Probably how weird you may be.

You shook the thought from your head. The best thing was to act positive considering the predicament you four are in. A negative attitude only brings doubt, which brings a lower chance of all of you surviving through this.

You let out a sigh as you followed behind, keeping a far distance from Leon as possible. All you had to do was avoid him as much as possible, right?

Which brings up another question into your mind. How long were you going to be in this God forsaken nightmare?
