Part Two
Let's get things going
It was nearing midnight, and the air was calm and cool. Leon's wings were beginning to get sore from the flight from the castle. "By the way," he had forgotten to ask her name, "what is your name, madam?" His eyes were looking straight at her, not paying attention to the path ahead. "It's Jackie, now could you pleas- AHH!" she shouted as he dodged a tree, his eyes still on her
"Could I please what?"
"Keep your eyes on where we're going."
"Right," he said smugly, he shifted his gaze back ahead just in time to barely avoid another tree. He spotted a small inn around town and decided against everything to stay the night there, even though it was 3 miles away from Alucard’s hellhole. Carefully, he landed in front of a wornout, but slightly fancy, inn. It seemed safe, for all he knew.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He walked up to the check-in counter and got a decently warm welcome, "Oh, Leon Tresona! How nice to see you again. sir!" the female receptionist exclaimed with noticable happiness. Even though Jackie was in a warm building, she kept hugging her arms around her body. She was freezing and couldn't warm up. "Jackie, would you like to share a room, or sleep serperately?" Leon's voice had jolted her back to reality. She realized that Alucard would be looking for her, and she may need someone watching over her in the night, "Yes, Leon, that sounds fine." He turned back to the woman, she had already punched it in and had his key on the desk. "Thanks, lass. We'll be here till the morning," Leon bowed repsectfully as he thanked her, the receptionist was grateful to him for helping this small village so many times. "Oh my name is Cathy!" she called to him as Jackie and Leon walked up the stairs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They carefully walked up the stairs, Leon's eyes were scanning for any threats, while Jackie was sticking close behind him, watching his movements carefully. Her face was red, for reasons she didn't know. Leon edged to the door and inserted the key, No electrocution or explosion, he marked off "Shocked to death" and "Blown to bits" off of his mental checklist. The door creaked open, making Leon's senses highten to even greater spikes of adrenaline. It was safe inside, no spiders leaping from holes in the walls; no poisonous lizards crawling from the bed to feast on them; and no psycho vampire bounty hunters. "Thank god, a normal hotel room," he sighed with noticable relief. His stretched his back out as he laid his trench coat onto the hanger, "Jackie, will you be ok tonight?" he asked calmly. She was jolted back to reality yet again by Leon's voice, it was soothing but had urgency layered thinly over it. "Yes, I think," she replied instictively. His eyes were calm and locked on hers, which made her cheeks appear warm and flushed.
