Chapter 3
What happened to Chloe…?
Leon stood there looking at Chloe, who he guessed cared a great deal about Natasha. He wasn’t prepared for what happened next. Chloe slammed her right fist into the left side of Leon’s face and as she had a ring on it which into his flesh. Before Leon had chance to do anything, Chloe’s left fist slammed into the right side of his rib cage.
In the silent hall the sound of Leon’s ribs cracking and him hitting the floor with a scream. It all sounded too loud. Leon was laid on the floor coughing, with his arm around his chest. Natasha went to Leon’s side and rubbed his arm and turned to Chloe and said “what the hell is wrong with you?” Chloe just smiled at her, like this was just some fun. Leon looked up at Chloe and that was when he notice that Chloe’s eyes where yellow. Natasha turned back to Leon, and then he pushed her of the way. He then felt Chloe abnormally sharp teeth snick into his flesh where his shoulder and neck met on his right side. Natasha looked up from where she was on the floor and what she saw shocked her.
Leon could feel his blood running down his back and chest from Chloe biting him and she wasn’t letting go. He tried to push her off but she was too strong and it didn’t help that he was starting to get weaker from the loss of blood as she was drinking it.
Natasha got up off the floor and grabed hold of Chloe's face with both hands so she could get her off Leon. “What the hell is wrong with you Chloe?” Natasha asked her friend as she got her off Leon. Natasha rolled Chloe over so Natasha could hold her down on the floor. When she looked down at her friend Natasha could see that Chloe’s teeth were covered in blood and they looked really sharp. She looked over at Leon, who was laid on his side and had his eyes closed. She looked over him and saw were Chloe had bitten him and could the blood running slowly over his shoulder. She turned back to Chloe who was laying there looking at her; she no idea what had happened to Chloe.
Chloe looked up at Natasha and said “you will never get your friend back, we will be keeping her.” After that the person who Natasha thought was Chloe went limp, Natasha reached down and looked for a pulse but didn’t find one. Then she got off her and went to Leon. Once she was at his side, she looked down at him and saw that his eyes were open a bit. Leon tried to sit up but he couldn’t from the pain in his chest and shoulder. He moved his hand toward to bite on his shoulder when it was stopped by someone holding his wrist. He followed the hand with his eyes and saw that the hand belongs to Natasha. Natasha moved Leon’s hand back down by his side and smiled at him. “What is going on with your friend?” Leon asked. Natasha looked away from him and looked at the body on the floor for a minute before she answered him. “Whoever she was, she wasn't Chloe.” Leon looked at her as he didn’t understand what she said. “Before she died, she said that I will never get my friend back and that they will be keeping her.”
Leon looked at Natasha and said “we will find her ok.” Natasha smiled as a reply. Then she moved so she could look at Leon’s shoulder. When Natasha touched it, he made a sound which sounded like a hiss and moved away from her hand. Natasha looked down at Leon and said “stop moving ok. Let me look at it.” Leon sighed and tried to stop moving away when she touched his shoulder but it was hard as it hurt. “Do you have something I can put on this bite?” Leon reached down to the pocket on his leg and pulled a small first aid box, “here”. She took it out of his hands and was about to open it when the students in the hall started to move around and talking.
“Can you get Helen’s attention please?” Leon asked. Natasha just looked at him and then asked “why?” Leon laughed and said “so she can do something about these people.” Natasha laughed and shook her head, as she stood up and shouted “HELEN!”
Helen turned to see who was shouting her and then she saw Natasha waving at her. She walked over in the direction of Natasha.
Natasha looked down at Leon, as he was making noises while trying to sit up. She got back down and helped him sit up. Leon smiled at her “thanks”, “your welcome” she smiled back. Then Helen was there and Leon said to her “can you get these students out of here.” Natasha knew by the tone of his voice that it wasn’t a question, it was an order. Helen just turned and said “Right all of you back to your rooms. Now!” The students didn’t seem pleased but did as Helen said.
Natasha went back to patching up Leon shoulder. It was hard, as he kept moving while she was cleaning it and in the end she stopped and looked at him. “What, it hurts when you do that.” Leon said to her. Natasha could see the pain in his eyes but she needed to clean the bite. “Leon please stop moving. I know it hurts but I need to clean it. Just sit still for a bit longer, ok.” Leon smiled at her and tried to sit still. Once Natasha had finished cleaning it, she put a dressing over it. “There all done.” “Thanks, what would I do without you” Leon said playfully.
Helen walked over to Chloe and knelt down next to her and put her hand on her neck. Then she looked up at Natasha and Leon and said “she’s dead.” “Helen, that isn’t who you think it, is. Chloe has been taken and this was put in her place. Has Chloe had any time off?” Helen thought about that and then said “yes she did a week ago.” Leon looked at Helen then reached inside his pocket and took out his phone.
(Phone convocation between Leon and Ingrid Hunnigan)
Hunnigan was sat at her desk typing away when she heard a phone ring; she looked up as someone answered it.
Leon was sat there waiting for someone to answer.
“Hello, field operations department, who is speaking?” a man said.
“Agent Kennedy and can you put Ingrid Hunnigan on.” Leon asked.
The man turned to Hunnigan and said “it’s for you. It’s Agent Kennedy.” She took the phone and said “What’s up Leon?”
“Well, I girl bit me and it turns out that she wasn’t who she was meant to be. As she was pretending to be a girl called Chloe but it turns out that Chloe was kidnapped but I don’t know who by. Also saw Natasha.”
Hunnigan was quite at the other end while she listened, but when she heard Leon say that he had seen Natasha she knew who he meant. She was a bit worried about it but didn’t say anything. “Ok, I’m sending some agents down. Try and find some more info about Chloe.”
“Ok will do. Leon, out.”
“So, what’s going to happen Leon?” Natasha asked him. He looked up at her and could see that she was upset. “They are going to send some agents down. Look, we will find her, ok.” Natasha just nodded her head and sat down next to Leon and without thinking put her head on his good shoulder. Leon looked down at Natasha and could see the sadness on her face.
“Well, Hunnigan sending some agents down and she asked me to found out more about Chloe.” Leon told her while give her arm a squeeze. Natasha looked up at Leon and smiled a bit. She did feel better with Leon being here. Helen brought then both back from their thoughts when she asked “is there anything I could to help you find Chloe?” Helen hoped that Leon would find Chloe as she was one of her best students along with Natasha and she knew how much they cared for each other as when she first met them she thought that they were sisters. They did look alike, it wasn’t until she notice that Natasha’s eyes were red. To start with Helen did find Natasha’s eyes a bit scary but after she got to know her, the colour of her eyes didn’t scare her anymoe.
“Yes, could you get all the information the university has on Chloe?” Leon asked her. Helen just nodded her head and walk off. Leon sat there and watched Natasha for a bit and noticed that she hadn’t changed much apart from she wore more red as if to show that she was different.
Natasha knew that she shouldn’t just let Leon back into her life like nothing ever happened but she loved him and that would never change. To her it felt right to be here with him, it made her feel like herself again. Natasha looked up at Leon and asked “when will the agents be here Leon?” Leon answered “I don’t know, soon.”
Natasha could tell that Leon was in pain from his injures so she got up and moved over to her red bag and got some pain killers for him. Leon watched Natasha move away and he missed her closeness. He watched as she digs around in her red bag, he knew she was looking for something but what it was he had no idea.
One she had got them, she moved back to Leon and handed him the pills. Leon looked at them for a minute before taking them from Natasha’s hand. When Leon’s fingers brushed against her hand she felt a tingle got through her body and she welcomed the feeling as it showed her that she did still love him. Leon also felt the tingle and he also welcomed it. Leon looked at Natasha not wanting to say what he was about to say but he needed to know, “Natasha, you said that you nearly ended it all. Did mean that you…” Leon couldn’t bring himself to finish. “Yes Leon I nearly did, but in the end I couldn’t do it.” Natasha leaned her head against Leon’s forehead and looked into his ice blue eyes and smiled at him. Leon smiled back at her as he couldn’t help it and said “I still love you.”
