He is Real

Chapter 24

Warnings: Lemon later-on, gore, language

*Author's Note: Hey, um, as you can see, or maybe you can't, it's really late, like, 10pm, 'cause I just got home. Okay, it's not that late.... But still, here's the three chapters and all, sorry they weren't on earlier today. I hope it doesn't look like to some, that I updated the next day, when I actually have kept up with three per day....

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

Your sight switched to different directions, searching for any danger. Luckily for you the forest seemed safe for once.

You kept yourself busy keeping an eye on things and humming to yourself.

You looked down, Leon's head now rested on your lap, his hand gripping your thigh in his palm gently. You stroked his soft light brownish blond hair with your fingers. He stirred a few but relaxed. You smiled as blood rushed up to your cheeks making them a light rosy hue.

It felt a little awkward that he was so close to you. It wasn't awkward enough for you to hate it though; it was the good awkward feeling. That same feeling you get when someone you like is talking to you for the first time, a butterflies-in-your-stomach sort of thing.

The same thing happening to you. That sort of school girl crushes. You couldn't help it, he was gorgeous. His crystal blue eyes hidden behind his perfect smooth hair, giving him the mysterious hotty look--his tight muscular chest, chiseled abs, firm biceps. The list goes on and on, which girl wouldn't drool over him?

But that was just it, Leon could get any woman he wanted, how much of a chance did you have in this competition?

You shook your head, ridding of the thought. You were reading too much into it, you were thinking too much. That was just like you, to get carried away in thought. It was a habit you wanted nothing more then to dispose of.

Your mind always ending up looking through the negative things other then the positive. It could be that you can only find the cons instead of the pros in the many situations you endured.

You threw your head back, hitting the wooden bark of the tree. You looked up at the blue sky. You bit the inside of your cheek, trying to think of something else, and something other then negative.

Suddenly a crack was heard, breaking your new journey of thought.

"Leon..." you whispered as your heartbeat began to quicken.

You starred straight at the area the little noise came from. "Leon," you called again, lightly shaking your leg he was resting his head on.

"Hmm?" he hummed, furrowing his brow at being disturbed from the comfortable position he was in. Another small crack was then heard, waking Leon of his senses.

He pulled his handgun from its holster instinctively. He pointed the red laser towards a small prickled bush. You both waited, waited for what was beyond that noise. Suddenly, a small mouse jumped out, scratching its self from the needles that had gotten stuck on its fur. The mouse squeaked and scurried away.

You sighed with relief, bringing your hand to your chest. "God, this whole thing has made me so paranoid."

Leon placed his handgun back in its holster and took a glance over at Luis and Jessica--who were still sleeping soundly.

Leon looked back at you. You were holding yourself, your arms wrapped around your stomach, your legs arched.

"Hey...don't worry, it will all be over soon," he whispered as he placed a hand on your shoulder reassuringly and smiled.

You looked up at him. It will all be over soon, that statement seemed almost unbelievable to you. But the question was, how will it end? There you went again, thinking too much.

"I guess I'm just stressed with the whole running for our lives thing," you told him.

"Yeah, I can tell; your shoulders feel tense."

You let out a little laugh until he starred at you with a smirk.

"Want a massage?" he asked. "To lift the stress off your shoulders?"

You reddened, averting your gaze to the ground. You decided not to answer, you were afraid you might say something stupid.

Leon suddenly then got up and made his way behind you. You watched him secretly behind the strands of your hair, your eyes hidden behind. Leon took a seat a few inches away from your back, placing his arched legs at both of your sides. You blushed harder as you felt his hands slide over your shoulders, you then became tense.

"Just relax," he whispered in your ear as he began rubbing his thumbs in a circular motion on each of your shoulder blades. You closed your eyes, smiling at the pleasurable feeling he was giving you right now.

"How are you feeling?" he asked. You let out a half-hearted sigh.

"Better..." you whispered. Leon grinned and continued on. He lowered down his hands with each passing movement now rubbing at the middle of your back.

"Ah, that feels awesome...I didn't know you were so good at this," you said, looking at him over your shoulder.

"Heh, neither did I," he replied and stopped the movement of his hands.

"Thanks a lot," you said as you rubbed one of your shoulders.

"No problem."

You looked back at the sleeping couple. "How long do you think until they wake up?" Leon looked over to you.

"Don't know," he sighed.

You pouted your lips, drumming your fingers in a continuous rhythm. Finally you stood up, walking towards the river to get a drink of water. You kneeled down at the edge of the river, dipping your hands in and bringing the water to your lips.

Suddenly, the river began to ripple, being disturbed by an unknown being. You furrowed your brow in confusion. The rippling then stopped until the entire river began to pulse, pulsing with one large ripple; in the middle of the river.

Leon stood up from behind you, glaring at the river in suspicion. "_________, get away from the riv-" Leon was cut off when suddenly a large serpent like monster broke the surface of the water, crying out as it was swimming at a quick speed towards you.

You were frozen with fear. 'Oh my God.' The monster continued to come, opening its large mouth, exposing its sharp jagged teeth.

"___________!" Leon shouted, running towards you in a quick pace.

He quickly grabbed you by the wrist, jumping back away from the attack of the creature. The both of you fell to the ground on your backs, Leon embracing you against his body tightly. The monster dived back into the water.

"What the fuck is that thing?!" you asked with disbelief, holding Leon tightly.

"We have to get away from the river, now!" Leon ordered. He got up, taking your hand and bringing you with him. The serpent resurfaced once again, coming for another attack.

"Leon!" you shouted, seeing the serpent coming quickly.

Your eyes became wide; you couldn't out run it in time. Leon looked back. He quickly pushed you out of the way.

Suddenly the serpent clamped his mouth over him before he too could escape. You watched in horror, seeing Leon get eaten by the God forsaken creature, your eyes wide and tears began to sting the rims of your eyes.

"LEON!"
