Also, I don't mean to rush my chapters out there... It's just that i'd rather try and work on them for about a week or so before posting so that way i'm not rushing but, with this story... i'm taking my time, I assure you.. It's just that, I don't want it to be incomplete forever. And lemme tell you right now, it's not going to be a short story! hehe. I've got many chapters planned out for it, some i'm still working on.. I've just got one question if any would like to answer..
Is it wrong to have a really long fan fiction..? I'm just curious.. I don't want the story to seem dragged out for a long time and people won't want to read anymore... I enjoy my story I just want every one else to as well. Am I trying too hard? Ahh... I must be rambling. Anyways! Have fun reading!
There will be either two or three parts to this chapter, i'm just not sure yet. :3
Surprise!!
The next couple of days went quickly, turning into weeks. It was almost time for Wesker's imminent return. As the days went by, Godric helped Lina get back up to speed as her recuperation was almost complete, moving back into Wesker's quarters, she was up and walking around in that time. They both finished their work on the P30, also looking into the serum that Wesker needs to regulate his powers, ending up perfecting it so that it lasts longer. Godric and Lina became very good friends over the short period of time. They both had a plan for Wesker's return, a plan that might make or break Wesker…
Godric walked in as Lina sat at the edge of the bed in Wesker's quarters, fully dressed in her lab coat, black t-shirt and pants. He smiled widely, "Ready for today…? We need to be quick though, we don't know when he'll be back…"
She nodded happily, "I need to find the perfect outfit…."
"That won't be hard, you have the perfect body for anything. You could wear a garbage bag and make it look fashionable.." he snickered, "But… I know what you mean, you told me your sizes a week or so back, so I went out and picked you three dresses I thought would make Wesker's mouth drop to the floor…"
Lina smiled happily as Godric lay three dresses on the bed beside each other, "Thank you so much Godric!!" she rushed over and hugged him tightly.
He gasped jokingly for air, "It was no problem… I want this to go well too, you know…"
"Yes I know.. Now… I love the red one in middle.." she pointed to a gorgeous strapless red dress. Grabbing it quickly, taking it to the washroom. She closed the door behind her and stripped down to bare essentials, slipping on the dress. It fit like a glove, perfectly and beautiful.. Lina came out of the bathroom in the silky scarlet gown. Godric was in awe.. She smiled widely, "It fits perfectly!!" The gown hugged her luscious curves tightly, making her so enthralling. He clapped, laughing, "It's perfect! All you need now is your hair done and some make-up."
She grinned, "I know what to do from here…" With that she was gone into the bathroom again, putting on a luscious red lipstick, black eyeliner and a touch of mascara. She smiled, satisfied with the end result of the make-up. Now onto the hair… She picked up a curling iron, taking her long brown hair and curling it, leaving her satisfied with the bouncy curls.
Lina stepped out of the bathroom again, "Did you happen to get black high heel shoes too?"
He turned around and smiled, "Yup, there in the box still.." he picked up the box off of the bed, handing it to her. Taking this time to put away the other dresses.
"Thanks" she took it and smiled, sitting down in Wesker's chair, she opened the box. Surprise took hold of her as she picked up the high heels, "They're gorgeous," she announced as she placed them on her feet. She stood, her look was complete and it was ethereal.
"We've got to show you to everyone before Wesker gets back…Gives me time to announce the party for him as well…" he smirked, holding out his arm, "Shall we..?"
Lina wrapped her arm around his, sucking in a breath of sheer terror. Truth be told she was nervous, "Yes, let's go.."
They both walked out into the hall, walking with trepidation on the outcome of their hard work.
As they entered the staff room, it went silent. All eyes were on Lina as she gracefully entered the room with Godric, a goddess in her own right. She waved to the 30 men who were scattered throughout the room, "Hi, everyone…"
Davis stood up and whistled, "Holy shit! It's Lina!!"
Whispers and whistles were heard throughout, making Lina blush. Godric cleared his throat, "Attention everyone!! We're going to throw a congratulatory/masquerade party for Wesker! He doesn't know so keep your mouths shut!"
Godric walked over to the door, opening it while pulling a bag from the outside of it, placing the bag on one of the tables. He walked back over to Lina's side, letting her latch on to his arm again.
"Or what..?" cried one of the men from the now gathered crowd.
"Or you'll make me sad.." Lina unlatched from Godric's arm, stepping out in front of them, putting on the most heartbreaking face.
They all yelled, "We'll do it!!"
She smiled and nodded, snaking her arm back around Godric's, "Did I do good..?"
Godric smiled, "You did awesome!! Man you've got some seducing moves in there, huh..?"
She blushed again, "N-No way…" she waved her free hand in front of her.
Suddenly, as if almost on queue, Godric's cellphone rang, "Yello…?"
"Godric… the mission was a success, I will be there most immediately.. Our helicopter is about to land.." said the silken voice.
"Alright, Wesker…"
"Is she… alright…?" Wesker asked, showing concern.
"Oh she's fine, Sir.. I took care of her…" Godric chuckled devilishly.
Wesker's voice tensioned, "What do you mean you took care of her..?"
"I just did Sir, gotta go!"
"Wait Godri---" click.
Godric chuckled, That will get him here in no time..
Lina stood there and shook her head, I hope this goes alright… She watched as the men shuffled around, placing drinks out and music. She smiled and walked over to the CD player, placing in one of her CD's.
Wesker's face turned sour, his eyes flickering red. What does he mean he took care of her…?!? It had now been a month and with the Rockfort Island mission something of a success, he just wanted to get back to the facility where he could be fully in charge again. After hearing Godric on the phone he worried slightly. The helicopter not having landed yet, he jumped off, landing gracefully on the cement pad. Quickly walking past security, he kicked in the door to the facility. His pace quickened as he saw many men pass him, heading down the stairs onto the main floor. He practically leapt from landing to landing downward, his mind racing with thoughts again. They entered the Staff room…I need to find out what's going on…
He opened the door to the Staff room dramatically, it was pitch black. His eyes went red, adjusting to the darkness.
Just then, the light flicked on revealing 40 or so men standing around Godric, with eccentric masks on, they yelled out, "Congratulations!!!"
Wesker scowled, "What is the meaning of this, Godric..?"
Godric walked up to him and smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder, "This is all for you…"
He grabbed Godric's wrist, throwing it off of his shoulder, "You are asking for it, who came up with this…?"
Music was turned on in the far side of the room by one of the men, playing a melodic song called Because I love you by September. Wesker grimaced at the sounds.
"I didn't come up with it by myself, of course…" he guided Wesker's eyes to look into the crowd with his hand pointing, "I had help…"
The crowd parted, revealing Lina. Davis pushed her out lightly, coaxing her to go forward to Wesker. She walked over to him slowly, blushing.
Beautiful… delicate… angelic.. Wesker's mind had almost fallen to pieces at the sight of Lina… His mind suddenly changed. What is she doing dressed like that out here? With all these despicable men. This is unacceptable. He walked to her quickly, grabbing her by the wrist he dragged her embarrassingly to the door, "PARTY IS OVER!! EVERYONE BACK TO WORK!!" He waited a moment then watched the men scatter, one man plugging out the CD player completely. The rest cleaned up the mess, taking off the masks and then disappeared.
Lina looked at him as he dragged her down the hall, "What's wrong…? You don't like…?" she blushed, for a brief moment letting her eyes wander Wesker. She didn't know how much she missed him until he was right there, her heartbeat pulsed through her veins quickly. Her heart was racing and she was sure he felt it.
He shook his head, no words came from his mouth. How could they? He didn't even know what to think of all this mess, should he be angry? Should he show.. "Happiness"? His mind was always in thought now a days and he detested it.
They reached his quarters, he opened the door quickly, tossing her in while entering the room. Wesker slammed the door shut, staring at it for awhile. Furiously he removed his long leather overcoat, throwing it onto the bed.
Lina inhaled sharply at the sight of the holstered gun hanging beneath Wesker's left armpit. Almost as if he felt her stare, he removed the harness from around his shoulders tossing the apparatus alongside his coat.
Snapping out of her daze, she walked up to him, her heels clacking on the metal floor, "Wesker…?"
He sighed, punching the door sideways, leaving a large dent. He was furious, all of his hard work was down the drain because of her.
"Please… Wesker.. Speak to me, I'm sorry…" She touched his shoulder gently, gauging his reaction.
"Ms. Holtz, what in the hell did you think you were doing? Parading yourself around like that…? Who were you trying to impress?" He turned around to face her, crossing his arms, "It's unbelievably uncalled for.." He looked her up and down, his heart beating slightly faster then normal. He hugged himself tighter, almost cracking his ribs trying to make the beating slow.
Lina placed both hands on his arms, "Please… don't do that, you'll hurt yourself.." she stroked his arm.
Wesker took hold of her wrist with one hand, taking his shades off for a brief moment, "Look at me, Ms. Holtz…"
She did as she was told, "I see beautiful blue eyes… What's the matter with that…?"
In an instant, the azure eyes turned fiery red, his teeth slightly bared, "Can you see it now…?" His grip was tightening around her wrist, she winced, "I am NOT human… I haven't been for a while… Please, stop trying to convince me otherwise…" He let go, putting his shades back on.
"I don't care what you say, Wesker… I want to help you… I want to do anything for you…" She looked at him longingly, "I …. lo--"
He interjected forcefully, "You do NOT, such a notion is utter falsehood.." Wesker scowled, she didn't seem to want to listen to anything he had to say. Which in truth, he somewhat liked.
Lina frowned, standing just inches from him, "You can't scare me.. If you want to kill me, then do it… but there's nothing else in my life left. As much as you'd hate to hear it, you're the only thing in my life worth living for," her voice quivered with anger, "And no matter how much you push me Wesker, I'll still be there…" with those words spoken, tears trickled down her soft cheeks.
"There is something Clinically wrong with you, Ms. Holtz… I think that one day I hit you a little too hard.." Wesker smirked slightly, he started to pace slowly, "What are we to do of this…?"
She sighed, shaking her head, "I… don't know.. Maybe it's best if you kill me…" she walked over to him, kneeling down, "Make it quick.." She closed her eyes, her head tilted up.
What a daft human. Wesker sighed, shrugging his shoulders before readying himself, "If that's what you want.." His eyes flashed ruby and in a split second, his hand was pointed at her chest, just inches from her heart. Something was wrong. He looked down, his hand was inches from her chest but it wouldn't penetrate. As much as he forced it to, it wouldn't move, as if some barrier was protecting her from all harm. He knew his feelings for her were developing and that's why it was harder for him to do, what was in his mind, the right thing and kill her. He growled furiously, fixing his posture, "What's wrong with me..?!?!" Wesker walked over to the nearest wall, smashing it head on with his fist, leaving a rather large crater-like hole.
Lina opened her eyes, getting up off of the floor sighing with relief, "Wesker…?" She walked over to him again, touching his hand, "You need to relax…" Taking his hand, she led him to the bed.
He walked with her to the bed, sitting down beside her, still holding her hand, "What are you doing, Ms. Holtz…?" He frowned.
She smiled, "May I?" She waited for his nod before taking of his sunglasses, revealing his cerulean eyes, "There…" She giggled.
Wesker narrowed his eyes, "What..?" he was curious as to why she was laughing even slightly. In his mind, he was also wondering why the sickness in his stomach was easier to manage now.
"You look better without your sunglasses," she smiled again.
He hated that smile, and yet loved it at the same time, "Do I now…?" He smirked, one eyebrow raised.
Lina shook her head and chuckled, "I forgot you had an ego…"
"Who said this..?" He instantly gave a scowl, wondering who would have gave her this information. Godric… it has to be.. "Godric's going to pay for this!!" he hissed.
She started to laugh loudly, waving her hand in front of her, "N-no it wasn't Godric… It was half the men in this facility.." she was still amazed at the fact that he hadn't even moved his hand. She traced his fingers with hers lightly, blushing at the thought of being able to be this close to him without any physical violence. She'd enjoy every moment however long it lasted.
Wesker shuddered, not the usual shudder mind you. This one was different, it was almost of delight, "Ms. Holtz…" He was at a loss for words, he couldn't think of what he was going to say.
Closer and closer, Lina inched herself to Wesker until she felt his arm brush her skin. She leaned in, closing her lips on his. His lips were cold but the fire that ignited on contact was inexplicable. It coursed through her veins and made her heart beat ten fold, her whole body quivered.
He couldn't believe she kissed him! Strangely, he wasn't regretting it. He pulled her closer while the kiss deepened, wrapping his arms around her. His tongue parted her lips as she rubbed her hand along his well muscled chest. He was enjoying himself in a different way for the first time in awhile. Wesker ended the kiss abruptly, the passion in his blue eyes shining through, "What have you done to me, Ms. Holtz…?"
She sighed, still in his embrace with the taste of him on her lips, she looked into his eyes, "Please, Wesker… It's Lina.. You should know by now.. And I don't know what I've done but, I don't regret it." She hugged him, listening to his rapid heart beat. If she was to die right now, she wouldn't care. That kiss was worth 22 years of misery.
Wesker shook his head, still holding her, "I think I'd much prefer calling you Ms. Holtz.."
"Please, Wesker… all I ask is for you to call me Lina," she looked up at him, trying to move from the embrace but he held her still, "Wesker..?"
He grimaced, I can't believe I'm going to do this, I must be insane "Fine, If I must call you Lina.. Then you must call me Albert.."
Lina smiled widely, "Really? I can..?" she was getting excited and he could see it in her eyes. She giggled.
"Not amongst the vermin, however.. I need to uphold some superiority around here.." He frowned, thinking long and hard about what he'd just done. My life is a mess, I need to concentrate on my plans first and foremost, Lina cannot interfere anymore then she already is. He sighed, "Another thing, you can have your "party". Make sure Godric gets everything you need…but I'd prefer more discretion in the future. " He got up from her embrace and walked over to his brooding chair, taking the seat.
"What..? Your not coming..?" she got up from the bed, putting her hand on his shoulder, "It won't be the same without you there, you're the disgruntled killjoy of honor..." she smirked, stroking his slicked blonde hair, gauging his reaction again.
Wesker looked up, swatting her hand away, he smoothed the stray hairs back into place, "Not the hair, and you'd honestly think I'd go to a…" he stopped for a brief moment.
"Masquerade party..?" she interjected informatively, giving him a narrow-eyed look.
"Yes, an idiotic masquerade party.." He chuckled low, laughing at his own sarcastic remark.
Lina huffed, straightening out her dress, "Whatever, sourpuss. I'll go without you… I know all the guys would be happy to dance with me.." she grinned, grabbing the mask she had forgotten on the table earlier. It was a beautiful feathered mask, covering just around her eyes and the bridge of her nose. The hues of the feathers were remarkably angel like, soft and pale, making Lina's beautiful blue eyes stand out.
His mouth dropped slightly at the sight of her, "You think I'm going to let you dance with any ill-mannered man out there..?" he gave her a sour look.
She smirked, giving him a small wink in regards to his question, "Oh, by the way… I got you one too.." she went over to the closet on the other side of the room, pulling out a wooden box. She handed it to him.
Wesker inspected the box carefully, taking in every little detail the box had to offer him, he opened it slowly. Inside the box, an exquisite jewel encrusted mask lay on top of lined red velvet, the mask was black as night with horns sticking out from the sides. It was menacingly stunning, "I don't know what to say," he said in a monotonous tone, expertly disguising how he felt at that moment. I've never seen it's equal.. It's immaculate.
"Will you come then…? It would make me very happy!" she said joyfully, watching a small smirk dance on his lips, it was quickly replaced with a contorted look.
He sighed, finally giving in "If you insist! Give me a moment.."
As he walked over to the bed to reclaim his jacket, she turned around walking out of the room, wanting the reveal to be a surprise to her, "I'll be waiting.."
He closed the door behind her, the mask and jacket in hand, groaning. I can't believe this.. What have I become?
A sudden dizziness overtook him and his vision blurred for several seconds at a time. He ground his teeth, instantly seething. It had only been 4 hours since his last dose. His intervals were losing their efficiency at a devastating rate. Scrambling for his jacket pocket, he groaned in pain, grabbing the needle out of it and quickly injecting himself. He sighed in relief as he slowly regained his sight, the pain passing leaving a dull trace of a headache. Throwing the needle in the garbage he shook his head. I need to find a better formula, one that lasts longer. Wesker put on his jacket, taking off his glasses, he placed them on the sink's ledge. He took the mask and placed it on his face, lifting the band for the mask over his head. A mirrored image of him in a mask made him sigh in displeasure. As much as it is amazing.. I feel… ridiculous.. Wesker shook his head, opening the door to the bathroom and made his "long" journey to the staff room.
