REDEMPTION

CHAPTER ONE

Claire Redfield was sat in her apartment all by herself as usual she wanted to have a life where she had a lovely husband; a couple of kid's maybe a dog but her job and her reputation for getting caught in a middle of a biohazard squashed any chances of that ever happening, she could never put some innocent man in danger like that so her only company this evening consisted of jerry springer, a hot cup of chocolate and a quilted blanket that was far too big for just one person.

Things had been quiet lately since the death of albert wesker it seemed too quiet though and that's what worried her it just meant that something big was going to happen but when and how one could only guess, Claire sat her cup down on the old warn out pine coffee table and let her eyes slowly shut a few seconds later she drifted off into a horror filled dream….

Claire was awoken by a soft knock at the door checking her watch that read four am, I've been asleep that long... Claire put her hand down the side of her sofa pulling out a very old handgun, walking towards the door, one hand on the gun and the other on the door handle she slowly opened the door immediately pointing the gun in the face of who was standing in front of her no way

Claire stood there for a while before either moved, Claire couldn't speak so many thoughts going through her head at once is he here to kill me, kidnap me, use me as bait, Claire forced herself away from her thoughts and said the only thing that would make any sense right now "what are you doing here" she could hear the tremble in her voice even though she was trying to stay as calm as possible, "hmm I was expecting more of a warm welcome and as for your question.." Claire was about to get ready for a backhand to come her way but to her surprise it never came, she looked at wesker who seemed to be looking rather worried what the hell? "I need a place to stay just for a little while"

Claire stared in shock and confusion, Albert wesker was asking to stay at her apartment what is going on? Claire took a deep breath to steady herself "and why would I want to do that, you're a traitor, and I'm sure you have enough money to check into a hotel" wesker was expecting this, the Redfield's have always been stubborn and well he was not surprised after everything he had put her and Chris through "miss Redfield" he smirked when he saw her frown "there are a few things you must know but I would rather not discuss this any further in the street for people to hear that just so happen to walk by, I would appreciate it if you would let me inside, I assure you I'm not here to harm you and you can put the gun down"

Claire was stumped, could she just let the devil himself walk straight through the door? tell him to leave, but he seems different he hasn't even grabbed me by the throat yet, he could be fooling you, but what if he has valuable information on Steve or sherry can I really pass that opportunity up, screw it Claire slowly stood aside wondering if this was really such a good idea and ushered for him to come in well no going back now Claire sighed to herself and walked to sit down on the brown leather sofa refusing to let go of her gun whilst wesker sat at the other end being sure to not invade her space.

Wesker looked up to Claire to see her staring at him with defiant eyes, he couldn't help but to admire her she had grown into a very strong, beautiful woman he was soon disturbed from his thoughts when Claire spoke "go on" "as you are aware I'm a very wanted man miss Redfield" Claire nodded for him to continue "well after awaking from being burned alive by your brother I noticed a change physically and mentally in myself" wesker paused "I'm human dear heart" Claire stared in shock as she watched wesker take his sunglasses of to reveal bright blue eyes staring back at her wesker continued, snapping her out of the trance she was in "and as much as I hate to say this, I am vulnerable without my powers, which is why I need to stay here for a while, you being the sister of my most hated enemy no one would ever suspect it" well Claire could not deny that he sure thought this out but can I trust him after everything he has done "how do I know that It's not all lies and you won't just strangle me in my sleep" wesker couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him "do you really think that if I wanted you dead you would still be breathing at this very minute" Claire thought about that for a minute "no I suppose not, what's in this for me if I agree and how long do you plan on staying here?" "immunity you, your brother and your friends will be safe, I'll stay out of their way as long as they stay out of mine, and I will need to stay for a couple of months" Claire couldn't believe a chance to protect her brother, her friends, what if he don't stick to his end of the deal, what if he does, you have nothing to lose here "ok you can stay, but I want to know everything that has happened since Africa" "your wish is my command dear heart" Claire couldn't believe she was doing this, let's just pray Chris never finds out about this…
