A Fated Start

(A female voice talking)

The nightmare was supposedly over. Again. Alexia Ashford had been destroyed, Alfred Ashford's corpse was never found, Rockfort Island was secretly bombed again by Umbrella to take care of any evidence, and the Antarctica Base had fully self destructed. Umbrella hacked into the government computers and erased any information about either place that had become a living hell. The cover up story was that an accident had occurred at Rockfort, some crazy prisoner had escaped and set off the self-destruct mechanism. The government paid Umbrella to take care of what was left and turned away from the problem itself. This gave Umbrella the chance to clean up their mess.. Again.

HCF had obtained the T-Veronica Virus through Steve Burnside by means of Albert Wesker. Once they were through with Steve's body, they locked it away into a stasis tube to keep the virus alive for future means.

Claire and Chris Redfield returned back to Europe, rejoining Barry Burton, Jill Valentine, Leon S. Kennedy, Carlos Oliveira, Ark Thompson, and the rest of the survivors. After a quick reunion, Leon left to head to another Umbrella Facility, supposedly where the Progenitor Virus was. As the rookie ex-cop was gone, the rest of the group plotted their next strike on Umbrella.

That's when our plan had fully started to take effect.

Before the Antarctica base has been destroyed, I, as well as four other scientists, infiltrated the building while Alexia was distracted with Chris Redfield and Wesker with Claire. We collected the corpse of Alfred Ashford, losing one of our team members to a 121, or a Hunter, in the process. However, we couldn't retrieve Burnside's body, as Wesker's team had beaten us to the chase. It wasn't a complete loss, though. Two days later, we sent in our top soldiers of our offence force to search and bring the man back. It was a complete success with no casualties.

Well, at least none on our side.

Right afterward, we headed straight to Rockfort. Scanning the area, we found the dead body of Rodrigo Raval. As our orders were to collect any body of a person who might have been known to the Redfields.

Finally, mission completed. We left for our "home" in the middle of some desert on an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific. We didn't know what this was all for, just that if we didn't do our job properly, we would face a fate more hideous, more painful, more rotten than death. Literally.

It wasn't until the end of this horrifying event that I knew what was going to happen. If I had, would I have acted differently? Was it worth the pain we all went through? Was it worth the happiness I saw in the girl's eyes when it was over? Was it worth the death and the blood and the tears and the joy?

Was any of it worthwhile?

Sorry this was so short, but I couldn't write anymore. Needed the cliffhanger. Don't worry, the next chapter should be up pretty soon. If you plan of flaming, please don't do it yet. I barely wrote anything, dang it! _

BTW thanks to Claire Burnside267 for the inspiration!

Also, for you who are reviewing, I'm taking a poll on what you want. Please answer the following for me.

How much gore do you want?

What kind of pairings do you want? (This is going to be a Claire/Steve, but I won't bash anyone. Not even Brad, but it's not like he's gonna be in this fic)
