Ada looked at the young Piers with her jade eyes as he ate. He looked as if he hadn't eaten in years, perhaps she was starving him to much by keeping his locked in his room. She could see how thin his figure had become, and a twinge of guilt rang through her.
Piers was so young, he still had a lot to learn. He grew up way too fast, Ada thought he should've spent his youthful years pursuing something else, rather than fighting against Bioterrorism.
Ada also examined how different he looked. Yes, he looked starved a bit but at least he was better than he was before, when she had first found him. Then, the mutation was almost taking over his whole body, if she hadn't found a cure to made the virus dormant, he would've turned.
"You were starving, I assume?" Ada's voice had cut through Piers' concentration, causing him to place his fork down. "Don't worry, you can keep on eating."
The young man stopped, and stared at her with large and curious eyes. It made Ada inwardly giggle. His large blue eyes reflected a pale plasma. That was one thing about the infection that she couldn't fix.
"Who are you?" This question came rather abruptly and shocked Ada. Piers didn't hold any anger or rudeness in his voice. It was only pure curiosity. "You seem different, from the last time we met."
"Two faces may look alike, but it doesn't make them the same...person." Ada stopped for a second and looked down.
Piers looked at her nervously from across the table as he ate.
"So, do you have a twin?" The question was much more silly than he wished it to be. Even Ada chuckled.
"No...let's just say, someone who wanted me didn't get me. They had to have it their way, so they destroyed someone elses life instead." Ada's Jade eyes burned slightly. "Carla Radames."
"Is she...like a clone?" Piers asked, and noticed Ada grin slightly.
"Smart boy. You sure are curious."
"Yeah, I've got another question for you." Piers looked straight at her. "Why did you save me? The B.S.A.A was after you...or...someone else. You could've let me die, is there a catch."
"I'd be lying if I said, there wasn't a catch." Ada sighed. "But I saved you, because I wanted to. You're too young to die, Piers." Quickly, Ada reached across the table and made contact with Piers' hand. She rested her hand softly on his.
"I know you're feeling confused now. Do you miss the B.S.A.A., did you have anybody special before you left?
Piers paused for a second, as an image of Claire flashed through his head. Those two were in a passionate relationship. Sadly, before he left everything turned to chaos, and she left him alone. She didn't love him, but he loved her more than anything. He wondered what she was thinking when she received the news of his death.
"You don't have to tell me, if you don't want to." Ada lifted her hand away and placed it back at her side. "I won't blame you for not trusting me."
"Oh now, it's fine." Piers smiled. "There was someone, a girl...her name was, Claire Redfield. We split before I left though." Ada looked slightly sympathetic. "I think, she was in love with someone named Leon. I met him, well not really. For a while I thought, he was actually in love with..." Piers stopped suddenly and stared at Ada. She wore a straight expression.
"Me. You thought he was in love with me. Well so did I." And then, the strange silence fell between the two. Piers continued to eat his breakfast, all the while he stared at Ada. Her head was down as she stared at her folded hands resting in her lap.
"I'm sorry." Piers finally said, breaking the silence.
"It's fine, you know I...I guess we both feel the same way." Ada smiled. "Maybe we can get over it, together?" She asked a question rather than stated a statement.
"Yeah." Piers smiled back.
"When you get done with your breakfast, we need to get started."
"With what?"
"You'll figure out soon enough."
Thank God Ada had a television. If that wasn't the case, then Piers would've really gone insane. TV was one of the only normal things about his life.
Ada was out and about doing some shopping, or at least that's what she told Piers. He was left alone in her extremely large manor, which brought up the question...How did she even have enough money to buy this place?
Where did she even get money?
"How is she doing, Helena?" Ada asked as she walked through the grocery store. Her phone was held up to her ear by her shoulder.
"She's doing fine. Though, she can't remember a lot of things. I guess I like it that way." Helena replied.
"It's better that way. How are you holding up where you are?"
"I've got Leon and the B.S.A.A. after me. It's not looking good for me or Deborah." Helena sounded helpless as she finished her sentence.
"Oh, it's not fun to have a lot of people after you at the same time, trust me. You know, you can take up on my offer. Come live with me, bring your sister along. The two of you will be safe. No one can find this place," Ada paused. "Spencer made sure that he kept his home's hidden."
"I don't want to take that risk Ada. If Leon somehow figures out where I am and follows me, that would get you in a lot of trouble. Especially since you have Piers. The B.S.A.A. doesn't like that one bit."
"I figured, a bit of cat and mouse isn't all that bad. Afterall, Leon still owes me, so if he bumps into me, he can just repay his debt. As for you and your sister, there is always a home waiting for you, it's just your call. Bye."
"Bye."
Ada slipped her phone back into the pocket of her dress and continued walking through the isles.
Leon. She thought back to the day where she was put down by both he and Claire. Not that she let it get to her that bad, she was just a bit set off by it.
Still, sad or not, Ada was not the person to let love terminate her from the inside.
Not just one, not just two, but three projects plus a right up that goes with one! On top of that, two of them are due on the same day. To make matters even worse, my Geo teacher hasn't updated grades in like, forever...and, I'm scared to see what my average is in that class because I suck at math!
Anyway, here is a chapter to make you happy! Remember I don't own this and if you may, please read my newest story 'Til Kingdom Come.' Or even Secret Valentine!
