Collide
By: Rezie
A/n: This is the Revised Prologue since my first chapter had somehow been replaced with another chapter, my fault completely. But for those that have not read the first original chapter, it isn't much different. The full summary has been improvised a bit, otherwise everything is as it should be, maybe a few words (a lot of words) changed because I had not saved the Prologue and my memory isn't really that good.
As in Iadded more scenes featuring Ashley's mother, which in the last prologue I completely forgot to add her in, only her name in a sentence.
Well enough of my ranting and here's the Prologue: enjoy and review.
Summary: After Resident Evil 4 Leon is handed a new assignment –guarding the president's daughter. During this he discovers he has fallen in love with Ashley Graham. But will an old flame make him question that love? Will Ada's and Leon's worlds ever collide? (Ada X Leon) While he is questioning his feelings and Ada is questioning hers as well, also her path to redemption; former Raccoon survivors appear, all confronted with all-new enemies and personal demons. (Jill X Chris / Rebecca X Billy)
Prologue
Dawn had risen setting a collage of orange and redto erase the stream of blue and white in the early morning sky.
Water splashed at the side of their jet-ski. The ocean breeze pleasantly filled their nostrils rather than the appalling scent of corpse and death in the town harboring those crazed natives.
Ashley timidly wrapped her arms around Leon wearing his black muscle-shirt covered by a protective vest bought from the local merchant. The windy breeze softly caressed them. Silence accompanied the whirring from the jet-ski.
"Good to be alive, huh?" He slightly tilted his head, giving Ashley a rare grin. Ashley returned the smiled, her emotions in a whirl. After having asked him for dinner and such and his decline, also the vague explanation of the lady in red she felt anger rise in her body; but that smile and the shimmer in his eyes just softened the dejected feeling she previously felt.
"Pretty good" She answered, as if she was in a daze. "Hold on" He yelled, twisting the handles and in response the jet-ski growled hungrily. Revving up the bike, the water underneath whipped the sides even hungrier. Ashley squealed, getting back her grip on Leon as they made their way back home.
"Ashley, dear, you're safe!" The president happily yelled inviting her in an embrace. Ashley hurried out of the Limo, falling deep in his bear hugs. Her mother hurried out, looking like a complete mess but content. Giving her daughter a tight hug, the family seemed so happy…no that's not the word…they were surpassing happiness.
"Thanks to Leon, I'm safe" She pointed out the handsome figure standing behind her with an uncomfortable smile. "Yes, my boy, come here" He merrily grinned inviting him in a hug. Leon awkwardly smiled once more. "Don't be embarrassed. Yes, I doubted you, but-" Without hesitation the president neared him and instantly grabbed him in an embrace. Leon patted him on the back, his breath intakes were gradual as the president was a burly man and his oxygen was suffering.
"Please Ashley leave with your mother, and go with Nikolai over there, me and Agent Leon need to talk" He paused. "Maybe he'll join us for dinner" President Graham gave her a wink. He smiled, giving his daughter a kiss on the cheek. As told, mother and daughter departed. Nikolai was top-of-his-league; a handsome young 23 year old reddish-blondish hair.
Handing Ashley his arm with such pose chivalry, she accepted with a blithe grin. Nikolai let a giggle escape his rosy lips; a blissful grin touched Ashley's mother's face trailing after them after giving Leon her gratitude.
"Leon" The president spoke, smoothing the wrinkles out of his suit. "Yes sir" he answered. "Polite; I like that" He spoke of random, crinkling his thin gray mustache. Slowly moving his eyes towards Leon; the agent, gave him once again an awkward grin.
"I have matters to discuss with you" The president spoke. "Scott…" President Graham began. "Can I call you Scott?" He asked, giving him a supple smile. "Uh…yeah, sure" Leon answered, scratching the side of his face -where the scar given to him from Krauser laid- in nervousness.
"I think you should take my daughters hand in marriage" He stated, seriously. "Wha…"Leon's eyes widened at the dictation. " What…what!" He choked out, clearing his throat.
"You just got punk'd" The president blurted, an eager grin staining his chapped lips. He held his stomach, laughing effortlessly. Leon breathed in slowly in relief.
"I love that Croucher guy" President Graham halted his laughing state and gave Leon a firm smile. "Kutcher" Leon corrected, distinct with playful annoyance.
"Hmm" President Graham crinkled his gray mustache. "Ashton Kutcher, sir" Leon spoke.
"Ooh, yes" The president smiled. "Well, seriously" He stated with formality. "Anyway, she's too young for you. But back to matters, I am giving you the chance to become my personal top-security" He spoke.
"Serious?" Leon inquired. "Yes, you will be given free boarding at the Whitehouse, money –I know boys like you love money- and this will be a great opportunity for you" The president said with expectation.
"Well…wow, thank you" Leon smiled. "Uh…but…I have other matters to attend to" Leon groaned, remembering the whole Ada-stealing-the-sample incident.
"Well, you'll have time to think about it" The president stated. "I do" Leon said blankly. "Dinner" The president smiled, scooting him toward the Whitehouse as Leon stumbled a bit, then resumed walking; the president behind him, followed by several guards.
Guard Ashley or apprehend Ada?
God, why is this so difficult. Am I getting attached; but there are several security protecting Ashley, why me?
Leon sighed, confused on what he should do.
Leon adjusted the napkin next to his plate. Dinner was exquisite: Roasted duck, caviar, wine and a fruit salad; several different entrées litter the maple-oak dining table.
Gliding her hand down the fine mahogany railing, heels clicked on the wooden steps. Her slanted skirt wavered; the blouse she wore exposing some of her cleavage. Ashley smiled at Leon, which seemed to be in a daze fixed on her stunning figure.
Her hair was done, make-up and all; her stance was so graceful and the smile she wore was so hypnotizing.
"You look beautiful" Nikolai greeted her at the end of the stairs, not even paying attention to the complement but to Leon. Nikolai, feeling quite dejected, just nodded and led her to her seat.
President Graham sat at the end, Leon beside him; in front of Leon was the president's wife. Nikolai pulled the chair for Ashley, next to her mother as he took a seat at next to Leon. Once in a while Ashley would glance at Leon, once in a while Leon would glance at Ashley and once in awhile both would catch each other glancing.
"I have good news" The president spoke, dropping his fork lightly on the plate.Everyone directed their veiw to the President.
"Leon has agreed to become my newest guard" He smiled. "I did?" Leon choked out, grabbing his napkin and placing it over his mouth. Crumpling it up, he dropped it on his plate in pure shock.
"Thanks Leon" Ashley smiled with glee, rising and hurrying over to the shocked Leon and planting a kiss on his cheek. His cheeks flushed.
Leon stayed quiet, angry that the decision wasn't even his and confused at the same time.
Her stunning figure stood next to the threshold. Her silhouette shadowed. Fiddling with a test-tube, she rolled it around her fingers.
"The sample" Wesker smiled, twiddling his thumbs of boredom. She stalked over to him, dropping the test-tube on his desk. The room was dimly lighted; there was a hollow smell, like wood and bio-engineering.
"I have another mission for you" Wesker kept examining the test-tube. "What buy you new light bulbs" She mocked. What an odd mixture of interest, dark lighting and immortality, She thought with a smile.
"That too" He smiled. "But, I need you to kill Leon S. Kennedy" He spoke with a devious grin; rolling the word kill on the tip of his tongue. "What?" She said with pure distress.
Kill Leon, could she?
