An icy breeze blew a vicious shiver down Claire's spine, it had been a whole year since the racoon city incident but yet she still couldn't get over the fact that there was still something after her.

Maybe this was the reason why she slept with her pistol under her pillow although Leon was always in the bed right next to her. It was no good Claire just couldn't sleep, she needed a drink but the hallway was so dark and dingy. She felt mean but she had to wake up Leon.

"Leon, hey, Leon" Claire whispered as softly and sweetly as she could. "Huh? Claire? What is it? What's wrong?!" "Im sorry, but I ...SHIT!"

A loud ringing sound came from beside her, and Claire slowly giggled to herself for being so stupid!

"Agh! Bloody phone! Makes me jump every time!" said Claire feeling her cheeks flush pink with embarrassment.

"I'll get it if you want" Leon said putting a hand on Claire's clammy sweaty shoulder. "No its ok I can get it, I need to lighten up" "But who would be calling us at 4:00 in the morning" asked Leon feeling somewhat confused. "I don't know" "but whoever it is it must be urgent".

Claire reached over to the dusty bedside cabinet and slowly pulled the phone off the hook.

"H...Hello?" said Claire still feeling quite tired with herself. "Oh hi Jill!" mumbled Claire "why are you calling so early?!"

Leon sat up and gave his arms a stretch, and ran a hand through his still so perfect blond silky curtains. He signalled Claire to tell her he was going to the bathroom; he leaned over and gave her a warm soft peck on the cheek.

Leon was washing his hands and could her Claire sounding somewhat distressed; he opened the door so he could just hear through the crack.

"B.B.But what do you mean we have to?!" "Jill, I can't sleep at night as it is, let alone live it!"

Claire started to get more serious and her voice was slowly turning into a sob. "Ok. yes I understand. But can't. ok, yep, bye." Claire slammed down the phone and burst into tears. Leon dashed out the bathroom and sat down besides her putting his arms around her.

"What? What is it Claire?"

Claire looked up into the young mans cool blue gaze and slowly sobbed away. Leon cupped her cheek in his hand and warmly looked at the girl with concern,

"You promised me Leon, you swore this would never happen!" "What, Claire tell me what's going on!" "Leon, remember a year ago yesterday.what happened?"

Leon looked at the woman feeling his stomach turn.

"You know what happened Claire we said we'd never talk about it" Claire sobbed harder and raised her voice slightly.

"Leon just answer me what HAPPENED?!"

Leon looked at the floor then back at the girl and slowly began to speak, "It was racoon city; it was where we first met." Leon looked at the floor again, "And where we lived our. biggest nightmare"

Claire put her hand on the young mans cheek and slowly her eyes began to fill up with tears again, "Yeah, and were about to do it again!" she sobbed

"What? What are you on about Claire?!" She leaned in close to Leon and slowly spoke;

"I'm saying. were about to relive it All Over Again!"
