The Lost City (Leon S. Kennedy X OC)

chapter 1

My legs were burning, my heart was pumping so fast and my breathing was getting heavier by the second. I was too afraid to stop, I couldn't stop.

The second I stepped outside the apartment complex I spotted two people hunched over something. As I walked closer to them to investigate, I soon realized that something was another human. They were eating him. I turned around so fast and that's when there buddies started coming out from every corner of that street. I spotted an opening and took it, and now here I am running through the streets of Raccoon City. The police station is my last hope, food and medical supplies are promised to be there but I'm having my doubts.I spot an alleyway on my right and head down it stopping at the bottom of the stairs. If I'm right the second set of stairs should take me up to the police station.

Does this whole mess have something to do with those families up in the Arkalay mountains? No, it can't be. The chief would've mentioned it to my parents. God I hope they're all okay. They were still at work when the evacuations started.

I was hunched over trying to slow my breathing down but I just couldn't. I heard footsteps starting to descend the stairs and pulled out my dad's handgun.

As soon as I did a flashlight was pointed directly at my eyes, and I use my hands to shield them. So much for protecting yourself Valentina.

"Get down!" I hear a male voice say, I follow his command and here a gunshot go off. I turn around and see one of those things on the ground. I look back up towards the stranger and see he's already offering me his hand. I take it and he pulls me up.

"You alright?" He asked

"Yeah, I mean if you don't count being chased by cannibal freaks, then I say I'm doing pretty alright." I say smiling. This isn't the time for sarcasm but the man chuckles at it. He was young and handsome.

"You should really learn how to use that gun if you're gonna be carrying it around. Especially with everything that's going on right now." He says

"I know. My dad never got around to taking me shooting." I say. Please be okay papa. The man takes notice of the change in my demeanor and changes the subject.

"Leon Kennedy."

"Valentina Moreno."

"Come on we should probably find the police station." He says.

"Yeah, it's just up these steps." I say and we begin to make our way to the station.

The entrance is blocked off by many vehicles and zombies. Leon takes out a couple and we begin to head towards the gate. Zombies keep popping up everywhere but we keep running until we make it through the gate. I help Leon shut the door and he locks it.

We make our way inside the police station, it was quiet. Way too quiet in here and there was no signs of life. Medical areas were set up around the main hall but there was no one near them.

"What the hell is going on?" I say

"I don't know. A week ago I got a call from the station to stay away from the city, if I would've know what was going on I would've came sooner." Leon says.

"You're a cop?" I ask

"Yeah I guess you could say today's my first day."

"So why did they tell you not to come? Did they know this was going to happen?"

"I don't know"

"Or were you getting fired before you even started?"I ask trying to lift up the mood a little.

"Very funny." He says. Okay he's being serious right now.

"So are you from the area?" He asks

"Yeah, born and raised. Where are you from?
