I do not own any of the Resident Evil series or Albert Wesker(no matter how much I wish I could). I do own Rose Lillian Marshall and her brother Justin Marshall.

Some say I'm a monster.

A couple years ago, I would have agreed with them. The G-virus in me made me feel like a monster the first time I killed someone without mercy. I am not the kind of person to do that.

It all began July 23, 1998 with the murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team went out first to investigate, but we lost contact with them. I, as the weapons and communications specialist in S.T.A.R.S. Alpha Team, felt like a failure for losing contact. I've never lost contact with anyone ever in my career of communications. I was only 20 years old at the time, the youngest S.T.A.R.S. member next to Rebecca Chambers of Bravo Team.

Alpha Team was sent out the next day to locate the missing Bravo Team's helicopter. I remember what happened as clearly as I see myself in the mirror. I remember Joseph sitting next to me as I worked out bugs in the communications and gently stroking my back. I remember I loved him very much, after all he was the perfect man to me. We had been together for almost two years, three days after I joined the S.T.A.R.S. to be exact. Joseph and I were to be married September of 1998, but I did not expect what happened in July to happen.

As Alpha Team landed and began to scope out the area, Joseph was attacked by dogs. These were frightening dogs. Their skin was hanging off, revealing black and red flesh underneath. Their eyes were milky white, their mouths drooling uncontrollably. These things would later receive the name of MA-39 Cerberus, a dog infected with the T-virus.

I shot at them wildly, hoping to kill them before they harmed Joseph, but I was too late. Joseph's last words to me were Get out of here! I can deal with it! Joseph's screams were the last thing I heard before they stopped. I watched in horror as the Cerberi ripped the love of my life apart and began feasting on his flesh. Before I could reload my gun and shoot them, Captain Wesker had grabbed me and shoved me back into the helicopter. I would never forget the words he said to me. Stay safe! Brad took off before I could hop out. What a chicken!

Brad flew for a time with me hanging out the side looking down upon the terrain. I noticed a mansion at the middle of the forest and I yelled for Brad to take us over there. Surprisingly he did and I attached a cable to my belt so that I could safely slide down to the ground. Brad must have thought I was crazy, for he yelled at me. What do you think you're doing? You could get killed!

I ignored him and slid down anyway. I was already locked and loaded with at least five hundred rounds of ammunition on me, a grenade launcher, and a knife just in case. I was not afraid.

I kicked the doors down and entered to an extravagant inside. I heard growling behind me and I slammed the doors shut as Cerberi ran at them. I was safe for the time being, but I needed to find a way out of here. I also needed to reestablish contact between myself and Captain Wesker, if he was alive. Unfortunately I could not and I was left with no choice, but to search the mansion. Once I had searched a good deal of the mansion, I found something that completely appalled me. A man was coming toward me, but he appeared to be staggering. I made no attempt to help him, instead I let him approach and when he got close enough, he attacked. From what he was doing, he was trying to bite me. I slammed my fist into his face and he staggered back. I shot him in the leg, but he kept coming. He was almost on me when another shot rang out and the man fell dead. Captain Wesker had saved me!

I was thankful at first that Captain Wesker was alive and unhurt, but something seemed wrong about him. Usually when Captain Wesker sees me, he gives a somewhat friendly smile that seems uncharacteristic of him. This time, he gives me a cold frown. I know something is wrong, but before I can say anything, he leaves. I was on my own once more, not that I minded.

I found that the mansion had an underground lab and it is filled with strange creatures. I am not sure what caused them, but they all seem intent on trying to bite me. I am lucky that I had the common sense to bring so much ammo because they nearly depleted it, leaving me with just one hundred rounds left. I saved my grenade launcher just in case something bigger comes along. I found myself in another lab and on one of the computer screens, I see something like a virus strain. The T-virus, it was called. Apparently it reanimates the dead and if someone is unlucky enough to be scratched or bitten by one infected with it, they become one of them. Another virus is present, the G-virus. Much more potent than the T-virus, it can cause uncontrollable mutation, but a variant of it can cause some mutation and also give superhuman abilities. I wonder who in the world thought of this. Before I could give anymore thought to it, I felt a sharp sting in the back of my neck and I was down.

When I awoke, I found myself lying on the cool floor of the lab. I could hear typing in the background and as I raised myself, I noticed Captain Wesker at a computer, typing furiously. He noticed me awake and attacked me, kicking me squarely in the stomach. I remember flying across the room and hitting the wall with a dull thud, the wind knocked out of me with the impact. What was Captain Wesker doing?

He revealed everything. He worked for Umbrella and he was going to kill the S.T.A.R.S. members! He was behind everything the whole time! How could he do this!? Another kick brought unbelievable pain. Captain Wesker picked me up by the collar of my S.T.A.R.S. uniform and held me before him. I remember his words.

'It does not have to be like this. If you had not gone for Joseph, this would not be happening to you.'

What was he saying? Had he been jealous of my relationship with Joseph? Before I could contemplate it, Captain Wesker had jerked me to him and kissed me roughly. I had never thought that Captain Wesker just might have had feelings for me. It would have been impossible due to the age difference between us, which was what? Almost eighteen years? That seemed right. Despite what I had not known, Captain Wesker's kiss was undeniably good next to Joseph's.

When he broke the kiss, a shot rang out and I stood there in shock. Pain raced through my body from the bullet wound in my stomach. My eyes traveled down to the dark, pulsing wound and then back to Captain Wesker's. His sunglasses were off and his smile contained nothing, but sheer malice. His eyes told a different story. Something like pain and sadness dwelt in them, almost like he regretted shooting me. I clutched at his shoulders, trying with all my power to keep standing. Captain Wesker held my sides as he helped me on my way to the floor. Dark blood pooled underneath me and my vision was beginning to go hazy. I knew in that instant that I was dying and I would soon be with Joseph. Before my eyes closed, Captain Wesker kissed me once more, the words coming out of his mouth falling on me like a bomb.

'I loved you, Rose. I loved you and you completely broke my heart for Joseph. I would have been so much better than him. I would have given you everything you ever wanted, but no.'

My reply to him made him jump. He probably had not expected a dying woman to have had enough strength to speak at that point.

'If you had told me before I met Joseph, I probably would have been yours. I thought you were handsome the very first day we met and I wanted to tell you, but you were...just too.....'

In my hazy mind, I knew Captain Wesker had shaken me to get my answer from me, but that only hastened my death. The last thing I saw was a tear sliding down the cheek of Albert Wesker before I closed my eyes in eternal death.

My eyes opened once more, much to my amazement. I thought I had been dead. Something was at work here and I desperately wanted to know. I turned my head and saw the dead body of Captain Wesker near the desk. I did not know it at the time, but Chris had come. He had confronted Captain Wesker and the Captain had released something called a Tyrant on Chris, but the Tyrant had turned on him and killed him instead. This I found out a couple days after this incident. I turned and saw the body of the Tyrant near the door of the lab, twitching and bleeding. I rose and approached it, finding it was still alive, but barely. I decided to put it out of its misery and shot it in the head. The twitching stopped and the low growls it had been making were silenced.

From behind me, I heard the sound of flesh hitting metal. I turned and saw that Captain Wesker's body was slowly rising. He had not seen me yet, so I hid behind a counter and listened. I heard typing and his voice, so I peeked out from behind the counter to find him at the computer, arguing with it. He punched the screen, electricity crackling and I could hear his voice saying something indiscreetly. His footsteps walked away from the terminal and stopped. I crawled over to the other side of the counter to find him standing over the pool of my blood. His voice rang out in the empty lab.

'Dear Rose, I know you are in here. Come out now and I will be more lenient.'

I unholstered my Beretta and stealthily sneaked behind him, holding my gun against his back. I heard a small chuckle escape his throat.

'I see that the virus has reanimated you like me. But who is stronger, I wonder?'

Before I could do anything else, he had whipped around and grabbed the gun. My instincts kicking in, I fired the gun, but the bullet hit the wall. He was facing me and I could now look directly into his eyes. The irises were slitted like a cat's and the irises were blood-red. I held my ground as he pried the gun from my hand and tossed it away. Now he was walking around me, observing my every move.

'Very impressive. As much as I would like to gaze upon you some more, my dear, I have to leave. This place is due to self-destruct in a matter of minutes and I would not like to be here any longer when it does.'

Anger rising in me, I grabbed his wrist and twisted it, reveling in the grimace of pain flitting across his face. In response to my hostility, he twisted his wrist some more and flipped me over his head. I hit the floor hard, creating a large dent in it. I delivered a roundhouse kick to his feet, successfully flooring him. I jumped on him and pounded his face into the ground, my anger causing me to lose control and gain more strength in my attacks. However, he kicked me off. Captain Wesker grabbed my Beretta and leveled it at my forehead.

'Back...the fuck off, Rose.'

I stood there, holding my ground as he held my trusted gun to my head. He began to walk backwards towards the entrance of the lab and right as soon as he reached the elevator, I jumped. He fired and I ran as fast as I could to avoid the bullets. I glimpsed an air vent and ran for it, jumping high and busting right through. Captain Wesker did not seem so interested in chasing me any longer for the shooting stopped and I heard the elevator starting up. I crawled through the vent quickly and bust through once more to find myself in a lower hallway of the mansion, close to the exit. I walked through more hallways and down stairs, using my assault rifle to take down anything in my path. When I approached the front door of the mansion, I reached for the doorknob, then stopped. I felt a presence behind me and I turned to find Wesker behind me, his gun aimed right for me.

'You are a persistent one, are you not, Rose?'

I said nothing. Words were not needed for this. I ran at him and jumped, my kick aimed for his chest, but he was quicker. He grabbed my leg and threw me against the wall, his hand around my throat, squeezing hard.

'I could kill you right now, Rose. I could reunite you once and for all with your beloved Joseph. Is that what you want?'

I remembered his words from before and I managed to nod my head. Death seemed so welcome to me now.

'No matter. I will not kill you. I wish to see you suffer.'

Wesker pulled me to him and kissed me roughly. From that kiss, I derived a slight bond between us. My body did not seem to want to leave his embrace nor his touch in general. I knew Wesker was probably amazed when my hands came to rest on his shoulders, gently clutching the strong muscles underneath the bloodied shirt. Wesker released my lips with a slight tug on my bottom lip, leaving me standing there speechless. His red eyes met mine and for some reason, he did not let me go. Instead he kept me in his embrace, just staring at me. When the alarm went off signalling that the mansion was about to go up in flames, he released me. I heard the faint sound of clanking behind him and looked over his shoulder.

'Captain, behind you!'

Whatever that thing was behind him, it was frightening. Wesker grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the doors of the mansion.

'Rose, get out of here and let me deal with this. I will follow.'

Merely nodding my head at his words, I threw open the doors and ran out of that place, leaving Wesker behind to do away with the creature.

So here I am. I died when I was twenty years old by a man scorned. I came back to life and am now superhuman thanks to the G-virus. Before we get into my story, I feel I must introduce myself properly.

I am Rose Lillian Marshall.
