The Life And Trials Of The RE Posse
Claire
Redfield's POV:
I am a cool girl, at least that's
what the people in my school used to say, especially the guys. Cool, calm and
beautiful. The girl every male wants, and the girl every female wants to
be. Ms. Homecoming queen with brains
that could actually be used for thinking. At least that was what I and everybody
else used to think, when asked about me. You know- ordinary Claire, if you
could call that ordinary. With little complications in her little simple life,
that is until Chris disappeared. Chris… just thinking about him makes me
anxious with worry, though I knew there was NOTHING to be worried about. After
my small tiny run-in in Raccoon City, I managed to get enough information on
Chris's location to contact him. I also managed to get out with the only two
human survivors in the entire town. Sherry Birkins, what a sweet child. Oh, and
Leon. Leon Scott Kennedy. Leon-the-hopelessly-in-love-fool.
I will get to that part in a
moment. Sherry was the mad scientist's daughter, and thank god his madness did
not run in the genes. She is in the care of Barry's family right now, while he,
Chris, Jill, Carlos and Rebecca hunt the deserted compound of Umbrella inc.
Umbrella, the creator of disaster…
Satan's incorporated messiah. They must be stopped. And where might I be
at this very moment you might ask? Well I am in the passenger side of the van
with my partner Leon, attaining the role of back ups for my Big brother's ego
while he and the Scooby gang (Jill, Becca, Barry, Carlos and Chris) paint the
town red… probably with zombie's blood…if their blood can actually be called
red…oh well…
"Pop" I heard Leon's bubble burst
first. Followed by the occasional sound of chewing. I stared at him. Agitated.
At least my facial expression said so. He looked fine as hell, happy too.
Before, he looked and was like the zombies he killed for breakfast,
which really meant he looked dead. That main reason for that was Ada Wong. You
see, I met Leon in Raccoon City, and while we tried to find means of escape
from this hell mouth, and cheat death…like for a million gazillion
times, Leon managed to find the time to fall in love with a spy (for umbrella-I
might add!). To him she was this sophisticated classy chick who sacrificed her
ass for his, or so we thought. Ever since then, Leon's become the second
Frankenstein with his head in the clouds… thinking of darling Ada with this
forlorn puppy look. (Gag me with a spoon please!) I have no problem with all
this stuff. Really. I couldn't give a rat's ass about Leon's personal life. I
mean it!!! But she is a pretty intimidating lady. Hell! She worked for
Umbrella for Pete's sake! But she is dead, so bless her soul!
But then a miracle- at least for
Leon, happened.
Just last week at the S.T.A.R.S. head office, while
Leon and I waited for Chris to grace us with his brotherly presence and to talk
about his major important plan to take down Umbrella, Mr. Leonthezombie morphed
into Mr. Iamsohappy. (Talk about a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Change). You guessed
it. Ada had at that mo. walked right into the office. Their eyes met and locked
and you could feel the sparks fly off them. Leon hugged her in a way he would
NEVER hug a sister (if he had one) and after that wonderful reunion which I
TOTALLY "enjoyed" we found out that Ada was really a double-spy who worked for
S.T.A.R.S. It seemed that after the explosion at Raccoon City in one of
Umbrella's many facilities, Ada managed to escape and now she is back. Ready to
pursue her new destiny with Leon. Whoopee!!
To me, her story was a load of B.S.
I mean can the girl get any more suspicious! I don't like her at all, I mean, I
don't want to see Leon making any life long decisions he would later regret.
That's why. There's no other reason. None at all. I am just looking out for him
as a friend.
Anyway I met Chris a few minutes
after the cheap imitation of the Young and the Restless'-lover's-reunion
(aka Leon and Ada's). Now ours was a sincere reunion. Tears were shed,
hugs were offered. Incomprehensible babbles between us were muttered…it
couldn't get anymore real. But that's beside the point. The point is, after all
that, Chris introduced his friends. Some new, some old and some HOT. And I mean
very hot.
"Claire, Rebecca. Rebecca,
Claire…Carlos, this is my sister Claire…" Chris droned on. I barely heard him
as I stared at the guy Chris called Carlos. My, my, isn't he a hottie I thought
as I scrutinized him. What with his dark features, chiseled cheekbones, sleek
hair, lean muscles I could go on forever. He seemed to be giving me a "scan"
too, anymore and it would have been an X-ray. Yap, there definitely was
chemistry between us. "Hey." I called to him smoothly; I had no problems with
self-confidence. I knew how I looked. Hello? I was homecoming queen for
three consecutive years for crying out loud.
"Hey Claire." He smiled. That was it. I knew right then I
had fallen for the guy…
