My dreams were like bits and pieces of a movie… I kept having nightmares about the worst parts of my life...

I was back in the Ashford's Antarctic Research Facility, hiding and watching Steve, Chris, and Claire.

"Don't worry Steve, we'll be back." Claire reassured, kneeling down to Steve.
Chris was standing behind them.

"Alexia has to be stopped." Claire said, standing up and leaving with Chris.

I was about 17, and my family was moving away from San Diego for a while.

"You guys can't leave!" My best friends Mia yelled, hugging me, as did my other, Gloria.

"Come on, Mexican." Steve nudged me, carrying a few suitcases.

"Shut up, you know you're half too, Steve!"

"At least I don't look or act like it." He mumbled, getting into the car.

Gloria huffed, "Your bro is un idiota"

"Le viene de familia…"

We laughed for a second and I spoke again, "Well, I love you guys." I started tearing up.

"Aw, hermana, don't cry!" Mia smiled in a sad kind of way.

"Let's go!" My mom yelled from the car.

"Bye Mia, Gloria…" I quickly got in the car.

"Bye Stacy!" -

I instantly woke up from the girls' yelling in my dream.
I didn't realize I'd slept until one o'clock. The house was weirdly quiet; usually Claire would be awake by now.
But I did keep her up really late with me last night crying…
I went downstairs and found a note on the kitchen table,

-I got called in at HQ, there's a new guy and he needed some help. Sorry I didn't tell you when I left, you were completely asleep and I didn't want to wake you.
Love, Claire-Bear-

Speaking of being called in…
I grabbed my phone and called the boss at the hospital, "Hey, Mrs. Karls, sorry I couldn't come in yesterday. I had a rough day; I figured I'd screw something up…"

"Hon, I know. Chris told me everything, and I'm so sorry."

"Of course he did… Well, if there's anything I can do for you guys, I'd love to help."

"Everything is kinda slow right now, but I'll give you a call later."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"No problem."

I hung up and sighed. I was officially bored…

I ate a little bit and watched TV for long time until Claire got home and she was frantic.

"Stacy… We have a serious problem."

"What's wrong?"

"Wesker…I mean, I think it was him…tried to steal Uroboros…but Chris stopped him."

"Go on…"

"He injected Chris with something. We don't know what it is! We figured since your dad worked for Umbrella for a long time and you're really good with stuff like this, you could help." She was starting to tear up.

"Totally. Is he still at HQ?"

"Yeah."

"Let's hurry."


I rushed inside the building with Claire and went down to the sickbay.
Chris was lying down and he did NOT look good. There were tons of people gathered around…including Leon.
I hooked some IVs up to him and took a small blood sample.

"Claire, stay here with him, if something goes wrong, one of you come get me. I'm going to the lab for a second."

I hurried to the lab and checked out the blood sample.

"Oh my God…"
I went back down to Chris and everyone else even faster than before.

"So?" I hated the look on Jill's face as I struggled to reply.

"Wesker injected Chris with the C-Virus."

"The what? Will we be able to do anything?!"

"The C-Virus is a mutagenic, non-carcinogenic virus. When a human is infected with the virus, the result is a chrysalid mutation… I don't know if there's a cure…" I almost couldn't take it…saying that Jill's husband, Claire's brother, and our best friend had more of a chance of dying than living.

I tried to hold back the tears as they broke down.

"You could give me Uroboros…and I'll get Wesker to come after me. Maybe if he kidnaps me like usual, I can get to one of his labs and look for something." I suggested.

"We don't want you to get hurt…" Jill said quietly.

"I'll be fine, I owe Chris A LOT anyways."

"Are you…are you sure?" Claire asked with a lot of worry in her voice.

"Anything to save him…"

I got them calmed down a bit and went to the lab again to grab the syringe containing Uroboros.
Claire showed up with a really young looking dude right when I was about to leave the lab.

"Who's this guy?"

"Oh, this is the new guy I told you about, Jake Muller."

We shook hands and I smiled, "Hope you enjoy it here… But just to warn you, Wesker is ALWAYS poking around, so be prepared for stuff like this."

"Yes ma'am."

It felt good to be respected around here for once. But it's kind of weird to have someone call me ma'am… It makes me feel old!


Claire and Jill stayed at HQ with Chris and I got a hotel room so no damage would be done to Claire's house if Wesker showed up.

I laid down on the bed and just stared at the ceiling, hoping Chris would be okay.
I glanced out the huge window at San Diego. It was so pretty at night…

I got up for a second to get my phone and someone knocked me out.


Okay, let me do a little translating for ya...

Un idiota = a dumbass

Le viene de familia = It runs in the family

Hermana = sister
