Chapter 6: Help from a friend
Leon woke up confused. He didn't know what's happened, after he saw the helicopter almost burned. Jill and Helena were sleeping next to him, at least he believed so. He tried to wake up Jill.
"Jill, can you hear me?" she continued to sleep worrying Leon
Helena woke up without Leon noticing it. She watched attentively her boyfriend with the head leaned on Jill's body crying for her. He was trying to wake up Jill before her like if she was more important, like if Jill was his real girlfriend.
"Where are we Leon?" asked Helena without caring about Jill
"I don't know, but there is nothing good from this fall"
Helena watched everywhere. "I go to search help"
"We can't move"
"What? Why?"
"I feel there's something strange. The helicopter worked well"
"Leon, accidents can happen even when everything seems to be good. Now someone must help us"
"Helena, listen. I feel like the electrical discharge came right away, you know what I mean"
Helena wasn't understanding.
"Listen, I agree with you we must find help, but we can't move. I know who can help us and I will phone her with my phone"
"Who is she?"
"Claire"
"Do you think she can find us here? She's far while other people can be near. Is it only because is a woman?"
"What are you saying?"
"Leon, listen. I know you are a good man, all men are good, but we can't continue in this way. I saw you was waking up Jill before me, you cared more about her. This is the reason I want to say you our story is over"
"You are really so jealous to not see the truth? Alex plotted a plan to kill us"
"Why does you give the fault to Alex for everything? This is only your fault, you can't pretend to have all the women and it's time you try to understand it"
Helena goes for a walk while Leon calls Claire with his phone.
"Hey" it was her voice
"Claire, it's Leon"
"Leon. It's long time I don't hear you. Are you ok?"
"No, I'm in big troubles"
"Tell me everything" said Claire worried
"I went to do a mission with Jill Valentine to stop a virus, a virus made by… Alex Wesker"
Leon heard Claire's phone falling down.
"Claire, are you listening?"
She didn't speak.
"Alex made a plan to separate me and my girlfriend Helena. She wanted to make her believe I and Jill were lovers so that together they could kill Jill, but thanks to me Helena discovered the truth and Alex escaped. We wanted to find her, but now an accident blocked us. I think Alex used a spell to find Jill and now she's watching us again. You are the only one who can help us"
Claire took the phone. "I killed Alex the last time I faced her. It's impossible she is still alive"
"I don't know Claire, but you are the only one who can discover why she resurrected"
"Ok, where are you know?"
"In a wood"
"Precisely?"
"I don't know. Everything is empty. There's an helicopter burned, the helicopter where I, Jill and Helena were travelling"
"Leon, if you don't say a clue of the place, I can't help, I'm sorry"
Claire closed the phone and Leon started to be desperate. He watched Jill sleeping, if she was really sleeping. He knelt to watch Jill. She was incredibly beautiful, an angel in that devastating world.
"I promise I will save you Jill" after saying this words eon kissed her passionately.
In the meantime, Helena walked alone reflecting if she has been too tough with Leon. After the failed plan of Alex to separate them, she treated him like a disrespectful boyfriend who go from a woman to another. She decided to do this mission not because she wanted the good of all the people who were infected by the virus, but because she wanted to stay at Leon's side after she suffered the hunger for him. Helena returned from him. He was cooking ragout and smiled to her so that she became red in the face.
"Leon" Helena took his hand "I wanted to say you I'm sorry. I don't want our story to finish"
He stopped to cook. "Me neither"
"I know you would never betray me with Jill, it's only that… Alex made me the brain washing and I can't…"
Leon put a finger in her nose "Ssshhh, it's everything ok"
He kissed her and after he removed her clothes pushing her on the ground. She was dirty, but she didn't care. She only cared to be with her handsome boyfriend.
Claire continued to think Leon's words. Even if she couldn't help her friend, she should discover how Alex survived after she killed her. She was going away from her office until someone knocked at the door.
"Claire" it was her assistant Sally "I found something who can be interest you"
She gave her a photo and Claire couldn't believe it. Jill, Leon and Helena died after the helicopter burned. She was crying for Leon, her best friend, the person who stayed at her side for years, but even for Chris if he would have discovered about Jill.
"Thank you for having informed me"
Claire heard a shoot. Sally fell down dirtying the floor with her blood.
"SALLY!" screamed Claire going to her
"There's no need to be so sad. You can find another assistant as you always do"
Claire couldn't not recognize that voice. "Alex"
"Yes Claire. I'm so happy to see you"
"Me no. I killed you"
"Oh, but there's something you missed that day… Natalia"
"What? What did you do to that poor child"
"She's fine, don't worry. She plays with her dolls more happy than every child in this world"
"You killed Jill, Leon and Helena. How could you do that?"
"Oh Claire, you are so naïve. They are alive. I forged the photo to kill Sally"
"What did she do for making you desire to kill her?"
"Well,… she was your assistant and now I want to be it"
"You will never be my assistant"
"Instead I will, because this is the only way I can plot to kill Jill Valentine"
"Why do you want to kill Jill?"
"Because she was the problem of my brother Albert and I will uproot his problems forever even if I'm happy he's dead"
"You must kill me if you want to become my assistant. I will never let my brother Chris to suffer for Jill's death"
"Oh, but I will not kill you if you don't assume me… I will kill Natalia".
