DISCLAIMER: I in no way own Resident Evil rather is be in games or in the Capcom authorized stories, I do however own every character that was not originally associated with either the games or in the Capcom authorized publications.
Authors Note:
Every one has heard the story of Resident Evil through the S.D. Perry books and the video games themselves, I feel it's important to continue these stories but not in a way that would appear "normal" to the survival horror fan. I feel it's important to add romantic, political, social, or dare I even say spiritual aspects to make this and other stories of this genre more realistic. Resident Evil is a great story game and it's full of the blood and guts violence that MOST religious people speak out against, I am not one of those people that speak out against it however I wish not to start up a debate over others or my own beliefs, but I do wish to bring it up as a point of conversation in the story, not to preach what I believe is right or wrong but to show people that Resident Evil is more than just a "shoot `em up" game, and if this offends anyone I truly apologize that I did, but as a friend of mine said one time "What I believe is what I believe". I'm not making this a love story either, there should be an aspect of romantic feelings sparked up between characters but not so much that they overcome the outright plot of the story. Political and social aspects play a major role in the Resident Evil world and I plan to bring them out in this story a little more than they were in the past. If you would be so kind as to review this, and your constructive criticism is welcomed. Most of all enjoy.

Chapter One: Life is But a Dream
He woke up in a sweat, it was another dream, they hadn't stopped since.....since Raccoon City was destroyed over three years ago. He got up from his bed and walked into the bathroom, as he turned the faucet on he got a glimpse of his image in the mirror that sat above the sink "Man I look old." he managed to whisper to himself, as the water ran over his hands he felt himself go into a state of calmness, it was like the water was cleansing him of all of his past sins. He washed his face and upper torso of the sweat, wiped off and walked into the kitchen where a half full fifth of Jack Daniels sat on an old dirty table next to a man who had his head resting on his arms laying on the table. There was a shot glass turned over next to him, the man who was up grabbed the glass and poured in the golden liquid, he was debating on drinking it when the man who was resting said "You don't drink, so put it down Barry." there was a slight slur to his voice. "Tell me why I shouldn't start." Barry retorted "I've lost my wife, my daughters, my home, my job, my privacy everything Chris, everything! so when you can find a good enough reason for me not to start then you tell me." Barry took the shot and then spit it out "What is that, that ain't liquor it taste like urine." Chris looked up with a smirk "I told you not to drink it." he said, with that Barry was off to the bathroom again this time to brush his teeth and gargle with mouth wash. When Barry came back he saw that Chris still had the same drunken smirk on his face "Chris let m ask you something, why OH WHY did you piss in that bottle?" Barry asked, Chris started to giggle "Why shouldn't I, we don't have running water or heat, plus I finished off the bottle about an hour ago and since I'm so plastered I can get up I might as well go in the bottle." Barry stomped off into the living area, there were old pizza boxes and packets of ammunition every were he managed to clear out a space on the make shift couch from an old mini-van. "God why did we have to be in that house, why is my family gone, why are all those people dead, WHY GOD!? ANSWER ME, why'd you let them take Kathy from me, she was the only person who could comfort me, she has so much faith in you, how could you let them take her?" he looked around for a moment, the lights from the buildings that surrounded their own cast a glow similar to sun rise or sunset. Barry looked all around, this had been the apartment that he and his wife spent their first two years of marriage with one another, it was so clean and wholesome when they moved in that first day, now it's torn up from lack of attention and care from the building maintenance. He sighed and laid down on the couch just wanting to rest for a moment before getting up and going back to his bed but he couldn't fight the over powering extent of his fatigue, he fell a sleep.
The next morning Barry awoke to the sounds of Jill screaming at Chris, "You drunken fool, you don't see that this is what drove your sister away!" she said very loudly "Well It's my life and I spend it how I want to, besides it's the only thing keeping me from thinking about he now." Barry walked into the small dirty kitchen where the previous night's fiasco with the "Jack Daniels" had taken place. Jill stopped yelling at Chris as soon as Barry walks into the room, "Barry, someone dropped this off for you in front of the door, I don't know what it is." Jill said Barry looked at the yellow envelope it just simply said on the front "BARRY BURTON" he opened it "It's a bunch of papers and a few pictures." Barry said in a very puzzled fashion, he began to read them and as he turned the second page he muttered "Mother of God." Jill and Chris both looked at Barry "What is it?" Chris asked, Barry remained silent as he continued to read the documents "Barry what is it?" Chris asked again, Barry looked over the papers at him, his eyes began to tear up "Chris" he started to say but then paused for a moment fighting back his emotions "Chris it's...it's about Claire." Chris stood up "What about her?" Barry contained his emotions and with a soft but stern voice he said "They have her, Umbrella has her team, all of them." Jill's face was horrified tears started to swell up in here big blue eyes she turned to Chris who was fighting back his emotions, "I want these guys dead and I don't care if God Himself tries to stop me...You hear that God, I don't care if You do or don't!" Chris shouted at the top of his lungs and then lost his composure on Jill's shoulder. Jill thought to herself "He loves her so much, I just wish that he would show that he felt the same about me." Barry walks over to Chris and says "I'm calling David in on this, we need help." he walked back to the bed room, he sat on his bed and put his face down in his hands as he starts to weep. (Although each of the former S.T.A.R.S members have dealt with something like this before they have grown closer over the past three years, the stress of hiding all of the time has built up, and tempers and emotions are running extremely high, causing their break downs.) Barry thought of Rebecca and how much she reminded him of one of his daughters. He had become a father figure to them all at one point or another, for instance when Chris had been discharged from the Air Force and gave him a chance to calm down and to be shown guidance, when Jill's own father had gone to jail for robbery, Barry was the one that suggested that she go into law enforcement, with Claire he told her to go back to school and get her degree but to no avail, she was as stubborn as Chris at times, with Leon he took under his wing and showed him how to be the leader that he should be. They all were his new family but nothing could replace his wife and two daughters, it had been so long since he last had seen them they probably wouldn't recognize him or he them, "Polly is 15 and Moira is about 13" he thought. He got a grip on his emotions for a moment "I have to call David" he said with a voice of fear, anger, and desperation "I need to get my family back, and I don't care what it takes to get them."
