Listen to the Rain…
"What's wrong?" Leon asked. "Did something happen to them?"
"No, they went off somewhere…come on, let's go for a walk."
Leon grabbed a jacket as well and followed Claire out of the house and down the street.
(Outside)
"So, what's wrong?" Leon asked, walking with Claire. "You're scared for them?"
"Yeah; I'm more worried about Jill. She's the only human there, and she can get hurt real quick. I'm starting to consider whether or not we should've gone along…"
"No, we're safer here. Please, don't try to catch the first plane out to Europe, okay?"
"But Leon…"
She was totally worried. Trying to force a smile is easier said than done, considering what they've been through over three years.
"Okay, I won't…"
Leon smiled. "Okay, good. You're starting to learn."
Claire laughed. She was always hard-headed like her brother; but a lot worse.
"Okay…let's go and get some ice cream. That always cheers me up."
"Everything sweet cheers you up."
"True. Come on!"
(On the Plane to the Europe-Chris, Jill, and Mickie)
"Ican'tseehim…whyishelikethis...?Whycan'tyousaysomething?"
Jill was running; Running as fast as she could from her nightmares. But, the more she seemed to run, the more they seemed to be getting closer.
"Whycan'tIfindyou?Please,I needyou…"
"Let's finish this…"
"No!" Jill found herself lunging at Wesker as hard as she could, and knocking him out of a window and falling down to the depths of darkness below. She heard Chris yelling her name as she fell to her supposed death, along with Wesker.
"Jill!"
She opened her eyes and found herself slung across the floor in a heap. And she didn't know how.
"How am I on the floor?" Jill asked. "What happened?"
"You were screaming in your sleep," Chris said. "And you became aggressive. Are you alright?"
"What?" She was imaging herself falling off a cliff with Wesker. How did she turn aggressive? When she looked up, she saw that blood came down Chris' arms and Mickie's cheeks. Did she hurt them?
"How did you guys get covered in blood?" Jill asked. "Did I do something?"
"You tried to stab us," Mickie said. "You had a nightmare, didn't you?"
Jill nodded. She didn't wanna talk about it; nor did she wanna remember it. The pain still stayed with her, and it always will.
"Are we landing, yet?"
"Yes, we're landing."
Everyone felt the plane land and slowly come to a stop. They were greeted by some guards that were carrying attaché cases.
That dream was no ordinary dream, Jill thought. The dream was about to reveal something, because those dreams were connected to my past…something's not right…
"Jill, we're going."
She snapped out of her musings and looked up at both Chris and Mickie. "I'm coming."
(Ice cream shop-Claire and Leon)
Claire and Leon indulged in their ice cream as they reminisced about past experiences that DIDN'T involve zombie apocalypses, abductions, and explosions.
"Hey, Leon; have you ever had a fantasy about someone?"
Leon popped up from his sweet treat to look at Claire. Where was she going with this?
"Where are you going with this?" Leon asked nervously. "That was a creepy and random question."
"Answer the question, Leon. Did you or did you not?"
Leon groaned and put down his spoon. "Yes, I have had them before…"
"Who were they about?"
"Geez, give me some privacy, Claire!"
"Come on, tell me!"
Leon sighed. He wanted to tape Claire's mouth shut, but that wouldn't be possible. Some things you'll have to deal with…
"Okay! Uh…um…"
"Come on! You can tell me."
Suddenly, Leon grabbed Claire and dragged her out of the shop. Why?
"Leon! What was that for?" Claire asked. "Say something!"
Leon just stared at her for a long time, and Claire became anxious. This just got WAY creepier…
"Leon…?"
"…If I told you that it was about Ada, would you cry?"
"…No. And I'm not gonna cry because you're lying; you don't love her. And if it's not her, then who is it?"
Claire was taken aback when Leon leaned in close to her. Her heart began to pound, and she turned red. What can she do?
"Leon…you were talking about me the whole time…?"
"I couldn't stop thinking about you at night…I can't just let you slip by me…I love everything about you; your hair, your personality, your eyes…it's all beautiful to me…"
He held her tightly against him as he finished speaking. "And if you died, I would die right next to you…that's how true love really works…"
Claire couldn't help but cry tears. He met her back in Raccoon City, fought their way past an army of monsters, saved a 10 year old girl, battled against another army of monsters in an airport a few years later, and last, but not least; save the world from Wesker unleashing bloodthirsty demonic beings into the world. And he never muttered one word about his feelings…
"Why didn't you say something…?" Claire asked quietly. "You could've told me…"
"I couldn't tell you over the years because of your rage blackouts. You were missing your brother so much, and I knew that asking you something like this would just be minor. I decided to wait…and it paid off…"
He kissed her tenderly as he began leaning towards her once more.
(Infiltration of the mansion-Mickie, Jill, and Chris)
Mickie, Jill, and Chris weren't told that they were going to infiltrate a mansion; and they were sick of seeing conveniently-placed mansions in the middle of nowhere.
"Once again, we're looking at a hidden mansion," Jill said. "How original…"
"No kidding," Chris said. "I hate this…brings back too many bad memories."
"How much you wanna bet that it's another psycho?" Mickie said, scratching her head. "This is too much…"
Just as Jill was about to approach the door to unlock it, but she stopped her movement when she saw an apparition of Wesker.
Was that Wesker? She thought. No, I'm just losing my mind…or is this real…?
"Did you guys see that?"
"See what?" Mickie asked. "What did you see?"
"I saw an apparition of Wesker back there…guys; I think I'm going nuts…"
"You're not going nuts," Chris said. "It's just your dream playing with you still. Do you want me to break down the door instead?"
"No, you idiot," Mickie said. "I'll open it…"
Mickie bent down towards the lock and pulled out her lock picking tools. She slowly opened the door, revealing the inside of the mansion. What secrets are in here this time?
