Sherry's first encounter with leon. Took some inspiration from Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom with the first image. Hope you guys enjoy the little chapter below.
Sherry was scared out of her mind, trying to get away from Chief Irons. Running from room to room with the key, she managed to steel from Irons while he was staggered over a sink. She found herself in a humid basement filled with twists and turns of hallways. She heard a noise upstairs, hearing Irons tose things around in a desperate attempt in finding her.
She kept her eyes on the locked door while she slowly backed away, thinking she would be safer hiding in the dark. But this left her unaware of what was behind her. Steel bars acted like a cage to the creature behind it, but that didn't stop it from quietly reaching an inhumane hand out toward Sherry.
The long middle claw of the creature's hand was just out of reach, only lightly grazing Sherry's shoulder. But that was enough for her to feel it, and suddenly turned around. The creature let out a horrifying screech that shook Sherry to the core. She screamed and ran down a different hallway. Behind her, she can hear the creature bend and break the steel bars, fallow by a loud crash. As if something heavy has fallen hard.
Sherry can hear the creature's pace following her with heavy footsteps. Sherry takes a sharp turn and finds herself in a dead-end. Luckily, there were several boxes and old desks stored here. And from the look of it, forgotten. She quickly hid under an old desk covered with heavy boxes just as the creature turned at the same corner. Sherry covered her mouth to silence her breathing.
The creature slowly walked forward. The light tapping of its hooked toe claw echoed through the room, alerting Sherry of where it is. The creature let out an unsettling below, similar to a crocodile, showing its frustration. Sherry can feel the creature is very close to her and doesn't move a muscle.
In the corner of her eyes, she can see the creature's head is right next to her. But it doesn't see her. She also sees something strange on the creature's neck. The creature lets out a quiet hiss while drool drips from its shape teeth and mandibles.
"SHERRY!!!!" Cheif Irons yelled down the hallway.
The creature's attention is now off of Sherry, seeing as there's a new target in the area. But, the creature stays put, waiting for Irons.
"Where are you, you little bitch?! You can't hide for-" Irons stops mid sentence in shock and fear, while facing the creature. Sherry watches from her hiding place.
"H-hey, buddy. Long time n-no see, leon. You're here to help me out of here, r-right?" Before Irons could say anything else, a stinger rams into Chief Irons' skull, killing him instantly. The creature then threw his body to the side with its large tail, which Sherry found out had the stinger. The creature had a satisfied look on its face while looking at Chief Irons' lifeless body.
A sharp noise was heard in the distance, alerting the creature. Its antennas stood up on its head as if they were like ears. They shivered, trying to feel where the noise came from. A tiny beep was heard, which Sherry found out came from a collar that's around the creature's neck. The creature then quickly ran off towards the noise.
Sherry lets out a breath of relief. She decides to sit in her hiding spot for a minute just in case. She took the time to question something that confused her. Cheif Irons called the creature something as if he knew it as a person before this.
"He called it leon." Sherry said to herself.
She quickly gets out of her hiding place and runs off in the opposite direction of the creature. She passes Cheif Irons body on her way to the exit door that leads outside.
