Resident Evil: The beginning of the end
Chapter One: Imprisoned
'I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just praying' to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even'

Six months after Ada and Leon's engagement party and Lilia found herself not so much of a spare wheel. They were all out together despite Leon's protests that they were all getting too old for going out.
'Your going to be married soon, then you'll never go out again, so you might as well make the most of it' Said Carmen, Carmen had joined AUCOS just after Ada and Leon had announced their engagement. She was Lilia's unofficial partner at AUCOS much to Lilia's dismay. Another new member was Kaleb, he was tall with dark brown hair and big green eyes that had Lilia's heart being faster, they'd been an item for the last few months, nothing serious but Lilia was really falling for him.
'Oh shut up' Said Ada, 'do I seem like the housewife type to you?' She asked raising one eyebrow at Carmen. Carmen grinned a cheeky, almost Lilia like grin and stuck out her tongue, she was young, only twenty three, with shoulder length dyed deep red hair and big blue eyes. Lilia found herself acting like the big sister, which was hard when she was hardly mature herself.
'No' Lilia said 'Is the short answer to that question Ada' Lilia gave a similar smile. They entered the club, it had all black walls and powerful lighting with a neon bar at the back, the music was loud and throbbing and it was already quite busy with people making their way to the dance floor, at the front girls were dancing on the stage where they'd put poles.
'Hah what are they doing?' Said Lilia 'I'd never get up there not in a million years'
'Get tequila in you and you'd be up their naked' Said Ada with a wry smile, Lilia pushed her gently and made a mock angry face. Carmen and Kaleb laughed and Leon just rolled his eyes.
'You can talk Ada' He said 'Remember last time we had a shot competition, didn't you end up passed out in the toilet bowl?'
'NO' Said Ada 'I'm a serious spy person'
'Not very sly about the spy' Laughed Carmen practically bouncing up and down with excitement, she was dressed in a bright red top and short black skirt, Lilia had gone for a black knee length skirt and a silk shirt. She didn't look her age but she was trying to dress it a bit better. She smiled as Kaleb gave her a neck a small kiss.
'Come on let's dance' said Carmen dragging Ada and Lilia onto the dancefloor to their dismay.
'Oh my god' Said Leon burying his head in his hands. 'Oh my god' He repeated his face pale.
'Brilliant' Said Kaleb shaking his head, he ran a hand through his hair and let out a loud laugh.
'Talk about famous last words' Said Leon, the men around them had their mouths open and were wolf whistling at the stage. Leon and Kaleb glared at them all protectively. Up on stage and Ada and Lilia had obviously had one or two too many shots. Lilia was currently swinging around one of the poles and Ada was dirty dancing with the other one.
'Lilia's surprisingly good' said Kaleb
'And Ada,' said Leon a worried look on his face 'Do you think they were poledancers in a former life?'
'I always wondered how Lilia afforded her car; she's an agent by day, pole dancer by night' Laughed Kaleb.
Lilia and Ada were laughing too, they weren't as drunk as the guys thought, Carmen had bet them they wouldn't do it, but little did she know they'd done it before in their younger days and they were pros at it. Every girl learnt this in their clubbing days.
'Do you think this looks cheap?' said Ada
'I honestly do not care' Said Lilia swinging around laughing, she jumped neatly off the stage and straight into Kaleb's arms, he kissed her softly on the mouth.
Lilia sat up in the bed she shared with Kaleb; ever since Ada had moved out he'd spent a lot of time over at her apartment. She wasn't ready to ask him to move in. She wasn't sure how she felt about him, she watched him in the moonlight his hair falling in his eyes and the steady rise and fall of his muscular chest. Her heart felt tight as she remembered the last man to lie in her bed. Albert Wesker, Umbrella researcher and the man who had stolen her heart somehow. A cruel evil man obsessed with his research she hadn't seen him in months and she guessed he was underground somewhere working with Genevieve and helping destroy the world. She remembered his strange red eyes gazing into hers as she kissed him softly on the lips and his small smile as he watched her undress. She shut her eyes and shook her head. She'd been much happier since he'd been out of her life and she had a nice, normal man who cared about her.
'Lilia baby?' Said Kaleb's sleepy voice 'Are you ok?' He sat up and wrapped his strong arms around her and she leaned back into him, wishing that it was the arms of another that held her and knowing it was pointless and wrong.
A/N Dont worry Wesker will be back
