Summary: 8 Years ago, on a vacation to Raccoon City, Leon S. Kennedy met Claire Redfield and her brother Chris. Little did he know that, he and Claire would soon meet again, under the worst circumstances.
Loosely Based Around Resident Evil 2.
Note: I do not own Resident Evil, It belongs to Capcom!
Claire's POV.
That Summer… I was only 14. I still remember the warm sunshine and the huge grin that was always plastered on my face. I only remember him vaguely, he had sandy blonde hair and icy blue eyes. He was only a year older than me and my brother watched him constantly, their eyes making contact was enough to make the young boy shudder with fear. No one messed with my brother. He was training to become a special cop, a member of the latest police force Raccoon City SPECIAL TACTICS AND RESCUE SQUAD, otherwise known as S.T.A.R.S.
When he got accepted a few years later, no one knew what kind of hellish things happened to make S.T.A.R.S. outlaws.
"Ah!" I looked up, broken from my scrambled thoughts the sign read Raccoon City.
"I'm back Chris, I'm gonna find you!" Speeding through the desolated town tears streamed. I wasn't crying, it was just so cold , the cool air whipped in my face my cheeks flushed red. What a day to wear T-shirts and Shorts, the hill came to an end and my tears stopped, wiping my cheeks I looked around no one was out, not even party goers. I heard a rustle somewhere behind me.
"Hello?" I shouted. Leaving my helmet with my bike I went to investigate. Walking through a dark alley led me to a street.
"Ah there!" I spotted a man slouched over the counter in a small café. He must be a late night worker sleeping over a cup of coffee. Running over the street I pushed open the door the little bell tinkled as I passed under it.
"Excuse Me Sir I- " I cut my sentence short as my eyes laid upon him, he was tearing the flesh of the face of the kind old lady who ran the establishment, I had known her when I was a child, she, used to look after me and Chris when our parents left for work.
I clasped my hand over my mouth, I felt sick as I stumbled back the cool tiles on the wall smashed against my now clammy skin. I tried to speak but I was paralysed with fear.
I turned to run following my basic instinct, but as I got to the door another man stumbled in lunging for me I dodged him and ran to the other door I passed two more of those things that were seated in the seats under the window.
"Help!" I smashed at the door, it was locked from the other side,
"Help Me!"
I heard gunshots they were getting louder and then I heard the lock slowly turn and the door be flung open, falling into his arms he aimed the gun above my head and shot them frantically and panicked. I could feel him shaking, but I the gunshots were muffled by my heartbeat, drumming in my ears. I looked at his face and his gaze met mine, his sandy blonde hair falling just above his eyes, which were a familiar shade of icy blue.
All it took was one word from his lips to make me nearly collapse.
"Claire…"
