AN: This is my first fanfic ever. I plan on having this story filled with oneshots depicting different characters of the Resident Evil world, with different angsty scenes. I'll try to make it as canon as possible. I might add some happy ones later on. I started of with Claire Redfield.

Tell me what you think. Read and Review.

Disclaimer: As if I own Resident Evil. If I did, Steve would be less annoying and Claire would've already had a partner like Chris does.


Title: Searching

Characters: Claire Redfield (mentions Chris)

Genre: Angst


Don't look. They're behind you.


She tries to wash her hands, as if to erase every living moment in that city. She sleeps the tears away, as if nightmares will go away when they do.

She wonders how Sherry was doing. She thinks of how Leon was coping. There was little to no regret in her heart.

"I'll come back." No matter what.


Why do you run only now? It's too late.


Anxiety was a baggage she carried from the US grounds, up on the air, and down in the French city, Paris. Everything else evaded her; sleep, ease, comfort.

Even Chris.

Two months and a half, almost three, of fruitful but unsuccessful searching lead her to a Paris division of Umbrella Corporation. Bouncing from one division to another could only do little. Rumors, articles, and news hardly made any difference.

It was time to take action.


There's no place left to hide.
