Chapter 4- Wesker's Decision

Wesker's POV

I set Claire down on the table and hurried to get the virus they were experimenting with in here. It hadn't been named yet, but it was one that made the person practically invincible. I ran back to Claire and noticed the blood pooling around her. I injected her with the virus and watched her and her wound. The skin where the blade had broken through was pulling itself back together. I watched her eyes close as she fell into a deep sleep where her body would continue to heal and repair itself until she was back in perfect condition.

As soon as I was sure she was asleep and not going to wake up soon, I went out to where I had left Chris and Alice. I noticed that Alice was in a corner, holding herself and Chris was standing above her, yelling at her; blaming her for what had happened.

"I didn't mean to Chris, I'm sorry. But it was Claire; she decided to risk herself for that monster. I would never have hurt her, never. She ran in front of my blade to save HIM!" Alice whimpered. I had never seen this side of Alice. This side of her had probably never been seen by anybody before. I stalked up towards Alice and grabbed her by the throat, lifting her up off the ground. She immediately stopped babbling and her eyes flashed to mine with a fury in them that could only be Project Alice. Her eyes flashed and changed and suddenly I was flying away from her.

Alice dropped to the ground and landed on her knees, kneeling and then her head snapped up towards me; fury flashing in her eyes. "YOU are the one Claire risked her life to save! YOU brainwashed her! This would have never happened if it hadn't been for you!" Alice shouted, walking dangerously close the whole entire time. And with Alice no longer there, and Project Alice in her place, this was really bad. I contemplated killing her but that would just make Claire angry. So instead I made up my mind.

"When Claire wakes up, we will ask her whether or not she wants to leave. If she does, I will let her go. If she doesn't, you will leave and never come back. If you do, there would be very bad consequences that I'm sure Claire wouldn't like. But her safety is all I care about and all you're doing is endangering her." I said. With these final words Alice rushed at me, weaponless, but lethal nonetheless. Alice leaped towards me, hands extended. When she got close enough, I stepped to the side and grabbed her by the throat again, this time using my superhuman strength to hold her in place.

Alice's hands were grasped to the hand I had around her throat, desperately trying to stop my hand from closing around her neck. The anger that had flashed in her eyes before was replaced with fear. Fear of what would happen if I decided to squeeze the life out of her. The whole entire time this had taken place, Chris had found his way to the room where Claire was. I figured this out when I had looked around the room for him, surprised I hadn't been attacked already. I dropped Alice to the ground, leaving her gasping for breath to fill her empty lungs.

Claire's POV

It seemed like I had only been asleep for a few seconds. I slowly came to consciousness, not opening my eyes or moving, but waking up my mind. I could hear three sets of breathing. I felt a hand squeeze my own hand. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that I was facing the ceiling, so obviously I was on a table. I looked around and saw Alice, Chris, and Wesker were around me. I looked at them all with a look of wonder on my face. Because they were all in the same room and weren't fighting each other.

Wesker spoke first. "Claire. I need to know something. You know that as long as you are here, you are safe, right?" I nodded. "Your brother and Alice came here to take you away. Away from me, away from here. I managed to convince them to not take you away. But on one condition."

"Well what is the condition then Wesker?" I asked curiously.

"Well it's really your choice. You can leave here and be with them. Or you can stay here, with me. With them you would be on the run constantly, always in danger. With me you would be… safe, content. But you would never see them again." Wesker finished.

I thought this over. With Alice and Chris I would see them, I would be with them but I would always be on the run, always in danger. With Wesker, I could be safe, I could be happy; I could stay in one place with the one I loved, Wesker.

I made my decision. "Alice, Chris." I said. They looked at me with hope.

"I don't want to go with you guys. I'm so sorry. But I think I'm in love with Wesker and I want to stay with him, where I could be safe, happy." I looked into Wesker's eyes and saw that he was genuinely happy. But as quickly as I had seen it he hid his happiness behind the stone-cold façade. I knew though it was to confuse Alice and Chris.

Alice and Chris took what I had said pretty easy, though I could see the hurt behind their eyes. They looked at Wesker and he nodded. They got up and left.

I got up and followed them out. They walked towards the door and when they got to the door they turned around and hugged me goodbye.

"I'm so sorry Chris, Alice. But I love Wesker. Someday we'll meet again. I swear. I'll convince Wesker." I said and as I did I handed them a tiny cell phone that charged by solar light. "I'll call you on this when you can come back. It charges by sunlight. Always keep it on." And with those last words they left me.

Wesker was there for me to turn to when I did. I cried at my loss but also had hope for the future. Again I lifted my head up and he lowered his lips to mine and I was consumed with a sweetness so sweet I didn't want it to end.
