Chapter 17 - Second Contact [Part 2\2]

Leon charged at Jenifer with his sword following shortly behind him, he brought it up and slashed at Jenifer. Jenifer just smirked and stood still and Leon missed her, he felt as if his hands moved away from her on their own "My defense is impenetrable, my magic automatically activates and moves your attack away from me." Leon gritted his teeth and jumped back from her.

Jenifer smirked again and Leon felt hands grab him and hold his arms back. Leon turned and saw Selina and Violet holding him back, Leon thought for a moment then poured more magic into his sword to change a property.

After some struggling, he moved his sword up and cut in front of him. After some pause, Violet and Selina let go "Wh-what did you do?!" Leon catches them as they fall, and lies them down carefully as he responds "I added a magic remover to the inner blade of this sword, it cut through your mind control and broke it."

Jenifer gritted her teeth and aimed her hand at Naomi who charged at Leon. They both traded blows, Leon purposefully stopped his blade before cutting Naomi "If you can't cut her then you'll never win." Leon jumped back and thought "You're cruel for using my friends against me, I won't ever forgive you."

Jenifer flinched and went wide-eyed as Leon's words echoed in her head "Y-you will never forgive me." Leon's frown remained unchanged as Jenifer paused and gritted her teeth "You... you will never deserve me! Go... Go to hell, you bastard!" Jenifer felt the same feeling that Leon had felt and with her mind control, she grabbed Leon and made him remain still.

Leon flinched then struggled to stay still as Jenifer ran up and punched him. Leon felt hotness in his face as his nose bled a little "Y-you aren't the person I know anymore, you aren't the person I want to be around anymore." Leon slowly turned to look back at Violet and Selina laying on the ground, he smiled and brought his sword up slowly and cut in front of him.

Jenifer realized what he was doing when Leon grabbed Jenifer and hugged her as he used his ring and brought her to Mosspoint. Leon let go and smiled "Maybe we can be friends one day, but today is the last time we meet." Jenifer hesitated as Leon backed away from her and used his ring to get back.

Once Leon was back, he sighed and panted a little. He looked around and couldn't find Naomi at all, he looked around and Naomi dashed out of the dark and cut him as he tried to dodge. Leon fell to the ground and Naomi walked up and got on top of him to plant her dagger into him, Leon quickly turned his sword into the cube and put the cube to Naomi's forehead as she planted her dagger into his left rib.

After some moments, Leon's hand slipped off the cube and fell and Naomi awoke from her mind control and looked around as she felt something cold and lifeless below her. She looked down and Leon laid breathing hazily and covered in blood with a dagger sticking out of his side. Naomi hadn't regained her memories but could tell that she didn't feel like leaving him. She pulled the dagger out and looked around for some medical supplies, but all she found was some numbing powder and some medicinal leaves. She numbed the area to prevent too much pain then applied the leaves to his wound after taking his shirt off, Leon was in a lot of pain when Violet and Selina woke up and heard his cries of pain.

They both urgently crawled over and stared at Leon's wound that was seeping blood over the leaves "W-will he be ok? He might be someone important to me but I can't remember." Selina stared down at him as she spoke then looked over at Violet who continued for her "I can feel something from him too, he is someone highly important to me, I know it."

Leon opened his eyes and saw some blurry figures surrounding him, the figures moved as he looked around. He thought about where he was and what he was doing, that's when he felt the coldness that had embraced him all the time back in his old world, Leon remembered his past of constant coldness and a world of grey.

He laughed as he thought of his past and he remembered what he was doing. He sat up and focused his eyes and looked at his hand, he reached over and grabbed each one of the girls "Wh-what? Are you ok?!" Leon didn't even look at Violet as he used his crystal ring and landing in the clinic back in town.

The girls looked around and immediately knew they were in a clinic, Leon stood up and wobbled a little when Violet ran up and supported him on his side. Leon smiled at her but gritted his teeth and put his hand over his wound "Why that's an unfortunate injury you've got there, would you like to go to the emergency room in the back?"

Leon looked up at Dr. Spanswick looking at him with a smile "Y-yeah, I think these are gonna be more than a little sleep to fix." Dr. Spanswick laughed and guided him to a room and Violet walked with Leon and Selina followed, Naomi stayed back and looked down as she sat down and thought.

Selina walked up and supported Leon on his other side as Leon almost fell "Thanks Violet and Selina, you both can wait outside if it's too hard to stay there." They both think as they walk into the room and Leon sits on the bed and grits his teeth again. Selina and Violet sat next to him as Leon looked at them "Wh-what are you doing? It isn't- ugh, gonna be pretty."

Selina and Violet both look for an answer but couldn't find one "I-I just feel like I need to be here for this." Selina agreed with "Yes, I don't wanna leave you alone in pain like that for some reason." Leon smiled and patted their heads, as Dr. Spanswick walked up with his equipment prepped "So these are the girls you mentioned about wanting to marry? I'm sure you are going to be a happy man, my boy."

Leon slightly flinched and laughed awkwardly "Y-yeah, anyway, let's get this thing started already." Selina and Violet blushed at Leon and got off the bed for the operation to begin "Now, just lay down and relax..."

Leon opened his eyes and groaned as he sat up and look down at his wound. The wound was closed with a long scar on the side. Leon had only just noticed Selina and Violet sleeping next to him on the edge of the bed, Leon smiled and patted Violet's head "You all might not love me anymore but I still love you all. I didn't even think too much of it at first, but once you all grew attached to me, I grew attached to you."

Leon smiled as Violet straighten up and groaned as she woke up fully "Good morning Violet, did you sleep well?" Violet looked around and got excited and hugged Leon "You're finally awake! I thought you might have died because you didn't wake up at all." Leon laughed and all the commotion caused Selina to rise as well and lunge at Leon too "You're alive! She was saying you might be dead but I didn't believe her!"

Violet stuck her tongue out at Selina and Selina stuck hers back "I'm sure both of you were worried, but I'm totally fine, just a little tired that's all." Selina and Violet smiled at him, and Leon smiled back "We might have been worried but Naomi was even more worried." Leon looked around and saw Naomi sleeping sitting up in a chair nearby, Leon smiled and let her sleep peacefully.

Violet rose a little and stared at Leon in the face, Leon looked back with a puzzled look "I don't think our memories are going to come back..." Leon looked down and sighed, as Selina rose too "I agree, but I also believe we can make new ones." Leon looked back up in shook "Leon, I may not love you as I might have before but if those feelings are true they will come back to me, and then we can fall in love in a more normal way."

Leon smiled and nodded as he agreed and Selina hugged him again, Violet gritted her teeth and smirked as she leaned in and gave him a kiss Leon on the cheek. Leon smiled and Selina pouted on his lap, Selina shifted a little and pressed against Leon's scar. Leon flinched and held his pain in, as Selina sat up and realized what she did "S-sorry, I didnt mean to hurt you, I didnt think about it at all!"

Leon stopped her as he kissed her on the cheek "That's to make it fair since Violet got to kiss me." Violet pouted that time and Leon laughed, he patted her head and felt a warmth that was only in this world devoid of grey that he lived in.
