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

With all the self-control you had, you made a dash for Leon's gun. Stretching your arm out, ready to snatch at it. You could feel the hissing sound from the monster booming in your ears, threatening to make your eardrums explode.

You could feel a warm metallic fluid drip from your ear canals, softly sliding down the sides of your face. Tears were stinging the rims of your eyes. The throbbing sound felt like an ear infection, but 10x the pain; you could only take so much.

You jumped for the TMP, grasping it in your grip and quickly aiming and shooting at the open mouth of the monster.

You tightly shut your eyes as tears cascaded down your cheeks.

You could hear the hiss now becoming only a croaking scream. You shot your eyes opened, your aim was now off from its mouth. You aimed straight at his tongue that was hanging out, dripping blood. You shot at it again.

The rapid bullets punctured holes on its sound maker. It screeched in agony and darted towards you on all fours. You gasped and instantly stopped shooting. It pulled its flexible arm back like a whip, ready to slash at you.

You sat on your back wide eyed, getting ready for the blow. Here was coming the hit. Suddenly a figure came over you like a shield. A whipping sound was heard, against the back of the figure. You heard a groan escape their lips.

Loud gunshots were heard from Luis' shotgun. Your breathing became rigid as the pain in your ears became more unbearable. You tightly shut your eyes, God it hurt. You felt two strong arms wrap around you, comforting your tense body.

"Fuck, it hurts..." you whimpered.

"I know, it'll be okay," the soothing voice of Leon spoke.

You were in too much pain to even care that it was he that was holding you, helping you through this. Your hand found his, and you squeezed it, some way helping you cope.

"It's tongue is it's weak spot, hit it!" Jessica exclaimed, staying behind Luis.

"Jessie, get my gun from my pants and aim," Luis ordered.

Jessica eyes widen and she blushed, she couldn't help but think of sinful thoughts to his order. She looked down seeing his Red9 tightly fastened at his waistline where his pants and shirt met. She clasped her hands on the handle and pulled it out.

She pulled the gun up, aiming at the tongue of the creature. Unfortunately for her, she did not have the red laser that could guide her aim, she had to depend on her own eyes. She took in a deep breath and took a shot, pulling the trigger.

The bullet just missed it.

Not at all discouraged, she tried again, and again until she got a hit. Smirking she pulled the trigger, puncturing a hole against the monsters tongue. It screeched loudly, shaking its head in discomfort.

The screech it made came to your ears making you clench your teeth and tightening your eyelids. You squeezed Leon's hand, wishing the pain would go away. He pulled you onto his lap. You laid your head on his shoulder, sniffling.

"Why isn't it dying already?!" Jessica yelled, frustrated beyond belief.

"I don't know," Luis replied and took a shot.

The creature growled violently, it's eyes glowing red and glaring at Jessica and Luis. It charged to them in pure rage, like a bull seeing the color red.

"Oh...shit," Jessica whispered.

Luis quickly tackled Jessica down, away from the charging beast as it crashed into a tree. The bark of the tree crashed into pieces, fly in different direction from the great force. Luis hovered over Jessica from the flying debris, cutting against his back.

The pain was slowly subsiding and you had finally stopped crying. You opened your eyes, you vision blurry. You blinked a couple of times, focusing your sight. You looked up seeing Leon stare at the monster, depicting where his weak spot could be.

You looked back at the monster. It was breathing heavily, bleeding from its mouth. It groaned evilly, still enraged. It turned with a grunt, facing Luis and Jessica.

"Luis!" Jessica shouted pointing at the creature as it brought up a foot, ready to stomp them like mere insects. Luis wrapped his arms around her waist and forced her to roll out of the way as quickly as possible.

The monster brought its foot down, creating a crater beneath its feet. Luis stood up, pulling Jessica to her feet all the while picking up his shotgun from the dirt. He pulled her wrist, running from the creature.

"Leon," you whispered. He averted his eyes to you; he sent you a small smile, squeezing your hand gently. "His tongue is his weak spot. Guns will only wound it, I think you have to cut it off."

He nodded in agreement with your theory.

"Will you be fine here?" he asked. You grinned.

"Yeah, I'm not going anywhere," you replied.

He gave a nod, letting go of your hand and gently taking you off his lap. He stood up, taking his knife from its sheath. Jessica and Luis were keeping a safe distance from the creature. It began to walk in a slow pace and stopped. It starred at Leon and tilted his head.

'That thing freaks me out,' you thought as Leon was slowly making his way in front of you. He made sure not to make any sudden movements. You sat up slowly, lifting your hands to wipe off the blood on your ear lobes.

Leon held his combat knife behind his back, waiting for the perfect moment. Jessica came slowly walking towards you, asking if you were all right. You answered yes, and continued to watch Leon. The creature walked slowly towards him, making Leon slowly draw his knife.

Suddenly the monster ran in fast speeds, tackling Leon down, his knife getting thrown back. He fell on the floor holding away the jaws of the carnivore. Its nasty tongue grazed itself against his jaw.

Quickly, you stood up and grabbed the sharp knife in your hand. You gripped it tightly and ran towards Leon, who was 'distracting' the monster.

"Take this you son of a bitch!" you yelled.

You swiped the knife against its tongue, making sure you did not hit Leon. The creature let out a vile screech as it's tongue fell on the floor. Leon kicked it's stomach, making it hit the dirt with a thud. It twitched on the ground uncontrollably.

Suddenly you felt something wrap around your ankle tightly. You looked down seeing it was the creature's tongue. You screamed in surprise trying to shake it off, but it stayed on with its dear life, tightening it's grip. Was it even alive?

"________, hold on," Leon told you as he grabbed the knife from your hand and knelt down.

He began cutting the organ as much as possible when it finally fell limply on the floor, slowly disintegrating along with its body. You kneeled down and gripped your ankle, feeling a bruise form.

"You okay?" Leon asked as he placed his hand on your shoulder. You slowly nodded.

"Lets hope there's no more of those freaks around," Jessica said.

"Yeah," you agreed, still gripping your ankle.

Leon put away his knife and pulled your hands from the grip on your ankle. He lifted your jeans, looking at the purple and blue bruise that ringed around. Leon trailed his fingertips on it and looked up at you.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

"A little, but I'm fine," you answered.

He nodded and let go. He stood up, lending you a hand. You shyly took it and he hoisted
you up.

"Ataque!"

A battle cry was heard from beyond the bushes making your eyes grow wide as you heard the footsteps of many people.

"Oh my God..." Jessica whispered.

All of you stood there frozen, waiting what was about to happen. The footsteps continued and the bushes rustled.

"That's not good..."
