Author's Note: I do not own anything, except for the OC. I kept this story close to the game's story line. It's sort of an adventure story but it has some (Okay, not some, it has a satisfying amount) sweet scenes. Feel free to imagine yourself as the OC. (Like what I usually do :D)

"What?! Uncle never told me about that! Where and when was she kidnapped?!" I said loudly at the phone, I was shock over the news that my cousin had been abducted.

"She was kidnapped yesterday and some rumors say that someone with her appearance was spotted in a rural village in Spain. The President didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry, but trust me, we'll get Ashley back, I swear." Kiara, my Uncle's secretary replied as she tries to calm me down.

"How? What did he do?" I inquired.

"He sent an expert agent to find her." Kiara said as I looked at the window near me.

"He sent one man? To go look for her?! I know I don't have the right to question his decisions but...he's the President of the United States! Can't he do any better?" I said as calmly to her as possible.

"He's not just any other agent Miss Riah, he's one of the rare survivors of Racoon City. President Graham wouldn't send that agent if he knew he wasn't capable. The agent was given 6 years of proper training and he is actually just elected to be the guard of the First Family." Kiara defended Uncle's decision, and I understand her why.

"So I heard...so that's him. I do hope what you say is true. I'll be waiting for any news about Ashley." I replied to her and she nodded. I turned my phone off and threw it where I don't know, then I looked outside and suddenly grabbed my phone again to make a phone call.

"Hey Jake, this is Azariah, do you have any available helicopter today?"

"Yes, why? Need a lift?" Jake replied.

"Yeah."

"Where?"

"Spain."

~*~*~*^...^*~*~*~

The loud sound of the chopper dominated my ears as we approach the rural village where my cousin Ashley was spotted, I scanned over the place and it looked nothing more than just a creepy, old village.

"Hey Jake, we can land here. We wouldn't want to disturb the villagers with all the noise." I said and the immediately landed the chopper.

"Ya sure you're fine from here?" He asked as I get off the chopper, putting my gun in it's holster.

"Yes, I can walk it from here, I'll call you when I need you back, ok?" I said to him and he gave me a salute and went away. Soon after, everything was silent.

I made my way to the village and saw no one around. I couldn't spot a single person around.

"Hello?" I tried to call attention, but no one seemed to appear. I continued to go around and after a few minutes of searching, I found a person where I could ask questions. "Finally...Good afternoon, sir!" I said as I approached the man who appeared to be cutting some logs. He turned to look at me and went back from what he was doing. "Um sir...do you happen to have seen this girl?" I asked him as I bring my phone up to show a picture of Ashley. The man just stared the picture and didn't give a response. I thought that he was just staring at it because he couldn't see clearly, but suddenly...he began attacking me.

"Grraaghh!" He shouted as he began swinging his axe at me.

"Holy shit!" I shouted as I immediately withdrew, I quickly picked my gun and pointed it to him. "Hold your ground or I'll swear I'll shoot!" I warned him, but he walks towards me and blood begin pouring from his eyes. "Shit...you're an...infected..." I said and with that confirmed, I shot him in the head.

"Oh no...Ashley's in this damn village with the infected all over it...I hope she's safe..." I said to myself as I decided to scan the houses one by one. I was willing tear them apart if by necessary.

After a few minutes of searching and killing here and there, I found an infected heading over to a house. Without it noticing me, I followed it and eventually saw two man tied up. Before the infected sliced the two with his axe, I immediately shot him on the head causing it to fall over.

"Why does everyone in this town carries an axe with them?" I said as the two men looked up to me.

"Finally...an angel fell from the sky to save us." The man with the chin-length hair and white shirt said, his accent was Spanish. He looked like Spanish.

"Sorry fella, I'm no angel, that's why I fell from sky in the first place." I said as I approached and cut the rope that tied the two of them.

"Thanks for saving us." The other man said, his hair was brown and was wearing a black shirt. He also had very muscular features.

"No problem, I had to do what I had to do." I said to them as they shake their hands. Probably in pain of the grapple of the rope.

"So...what does a beautiful woman like you doing in this godforsaken place?" The Spanish guys said and I grabbed my phone.

"I'm looking for this young girl, had you to happen to see her?" I said showing them a picture of Ashley.

"Would you look at that, you and my friend Leon are here for the same thing." The Spanish guy replied, and the other guy looked at me surprised.

"So you're the agent that Uncle sent." I said to him as he stared at me confusingly.

"Unlce?" He asked with his eyes narrowed and I nodded.

"President Graham, he's my uncle. Ashley is my cousin; I came here because...I can't stand on sitting at home while my cousin is missing." I said to him and he came closer to me.

"I see. How tough for a woman you are." He replied as he understands what I mean.

"Yeah, and take note 'The President's niece', eh? Such a brave woman! I love women like that." The Spanish man butted and I gave him a smile.

"Ha, thanks. The names Azariah, Azariah Graham Meadowlark...you?" I referred to them both.

"Well Ms. Meadowlark, my name is Luis Sera, it's been my most pleasure meeting you." He said as he hands for a hand shake and I accepted it willingly.

"Pleasure to meet you too." I said then we let go of the handshake.

"I'm Leon Scott Kennedy, agent and guard of the First Family...recently." He said and I gave him a smile as we handshake.

"Nice to finally meet you Leon." I said, " We better get goin'." I added and Leon agreed.

"Which reminds me...go on ahead fellas, I have to do my business first. Catch you later." Luis suddenly said as he leaves in a hurry.

"Hmm...and he has nothing on him to protect him...oh well." I said and Leon and I moved on.

~*~*~*^...^*~*~*~

I signed for Leon to go first as I cover his back, he went inside the door and when I turned around, I found him being strangled by a huge man. He looked at Leon in the eye as he began to speak.

"You carry the same blood like us it seems, nevertheless, you're an outsider. Just remember, if you become unpleasant to our eyes, you'll face severe consequences." He said as he threw Leon away. He suddenly looked at me and I pointed my gun at him, but he just ignored me and walked away,

"Leon! Are you alright?" I asked him as I pat his back and he coughed a bit.

"What did he mean by same blood?" Leon asked and I looked at him wondering what he meant.

"I don't know...we'll see soon." I said to him, even if I don't know a thing about what's going on.

Leon and I continued to venture in the house, we tried and searched for Ashley as we scan the room one by one. When we got into a room, the scary fella appeared once more and he threw Leon away.

"You again?!" Without hesitation, I shot his back several times and he didn't look hurt by it, even just a bit. Then, gun shots came from the window and called the attention of the scary fella, I saw in the window that it was a woman, she was wearing a red dress and had sunglasses on, he shot the scary fella continuously until it ran towards her. She suddenly flew upwards and the monster ran through the window and fell.

"Leon, you ok? Next time we search a room, let me go in first. That scary fella is always trying to strangle you." I said to him as I help him up.

"It's better that he's strangling me than you. I can't let women get hurt when I'm around." He said then he slowly stood up. "What happened?" he asked me as I look to the window again.

"I...don't know myself, someone saved us." I said and Leon looked at the window too.

After scanning the whole area, we failed in finding Ashley so we thought of going to the other side of the village which was located in another island. We walked away from the village and ventured in the woods, moments later, a lake was revealed to us. We immediately hid as we saw some, infected travelling across the lake. Leon picked up his binoculars and asked me if I wanted to look, I refused and he looked instead. I couldn't see what happened next but all of a sudden, a huge monster came out of the water and ate something. Leon and I looked at each other as we saw the infected disappear. On our way down to the lake, we saw a boat available and we rode it and headed for the other village.

"Azariah, do you mind if I ask you something? Don't worry, I won't ask your number." Leon said as he smiled at me and I smiled at him back.

"Ha. Sure, what do you want to know?" I asked him and he looked at me in the eye.

"Why...did you decide to come after Ashley? I also wonder...you seem to have some knowledge about the infection, the virus and all. Your skills are also remarkable as well. Why is that?" He said and I smiled at him again.

"Hmm I'll tell you but first you have to promise that it's going to be only between you and me." I said to him and he nodded. He even crossed his heart to make me believe I could trust him. "Very well then, you see, just like you, I was also a survivor of the Racoon City incident." I said and he looked surprised.

"You were a survivor?" He asked confirming and I nodded.

"I was taking a vacation at Racoon City when it all happened. I guess I didn't had the chance to see you there because...the world isn't really too small for me. I had some help from my Uncle about the place being sterilized. They also guided my way out of the City since I just got there at that time. Ever since I got out of that place. I was totally paranoid and since then, I've trained myself for the worse. For 6 years I wasted my time in ballistics, close combat fighting, enhancing my survival skills, took medical lessons, learned karate, archery, and any martial arts you can say. I...wanted to waste my time in preparing myself just in case something bad happens. Like this." I said to him and he went close to me.

"I understand what you feel, the Racoon City incident was one hell of a nightmare for us. Even for me..." Leon said as he pat my shoulder and looked away. Moments later, we felt something bumping our boat from below the waters and suddenly, the huge monster I saw circling the lake a few minutes ago attacked us, but eventually, it left us in the lake. Maybe it just wanted to bother us. I looked at where the monster went but I couldn't so we just head on to our destination.

A few minutes after the attack, Leon and I managed to get past the lake safely, when we walked in to the boat port, Leon suddenly began coughing and as he covers his mouth, he saw blood on his hand.

"You're infected!" I said as I immediately point a gun at him. It was my instinct.

"Ahhgh!" Leon began screaming in pain as he curls up his body, he fell on his knees and I saw him agonizing and I didn't know what else to do.

"Leon!" I wanted to help him, but I was afraid he'd turn a zombie and eat me...but no. I had to help. "Leon! Are you alright?! Don't worry, it's gonna be fine, ok?" I said comforting him. Erasing the thought that he'd turn into a zombie, I quickly wrapped his arms around me and I helped him walk towards the closest cabin we see. Leon kept screaming in pain as I take him to the cabin, I put him in the sofa I saw and held his face. "Leon look at me! Are you alright?!" I said worrying a lot as he kept on screaming. "Oh Leon! Don't give up on me now!" I said to him. He suddenly exerted one last cry of pain and he then, he fell unconscious. "Leon..." I said as I grabbed his wrist and read his pulse, it seems to be beating very fast. "What do I do?" I questioned myself as I stare at his face. As I sunk in at staring at him, I just realized that Leon was freakishly handsome, his face had a nice built and he looked so manly, but I was burdened to find him being pained, even in his sleep.

"No..." Leon muttered as I sense him having a nightmare.

"Poor thing..." I said to myself. I decided to go to the kitchen and see if there was any water there and luckily, there was. There was even some fire so I decided to heat up the water to help Leon a bit. When I was finished heating up the water, I took the hanky in my pocket and wet it in the warm water. I squeezed the hanky a little and started wiping Leon's face and neck, hoping it would make him feel lighter. I continued to do that for hours until I eventually fell asleep.

Leon's P.O.V.

"Ah!" I woke up only to find that me turning into one of those darn things was just a dream. I found a hanky on my forehead and looked at it first, then when I looked to my left, I saw Azariah sitting there, asleep. She was tightly gripping my right hand and was probably dreaming about something. I got off the sofa and carried her there. I fixed her head a little so she'll feel comfortable while sleeping. I then mentioned a little basin beside me and it was half filled with water.

"Thanks." I silently said to her.
I moved the falling hair from her face and I just then noticed that...she was very beautiful. Not to exaggerate or anything but...Luis was right, he looked like an angel. Not only that she looked like one, I believe she's also one. She took care of me while I was asleep, and I wanted to do the same to her. I stared her a little more as she suddenly quivered, probably because it was so cold. I searched the place for a blanket and found one. I took it and covered her up as I guard the place until she wakes.

~*~*~*^...^*~*~*~

"Leon?" I heard a voice in the living room so I came there and saw Azariah was awake.

"Good, did you sleep well?" I immediately asked her and she nodded.

"Yep, thanks to you. We...better get going." She said as she equipped herself with weapons.

"Yeah, let's go." I agreed and we got out of the cabin.
