A/N: Thanx for the reviews again! And thanx Darryl flowers for ur charming
encouragements. I'll try my best to get Leon to kill them, just gotta think
of how and when^_^ If I can't then feel free to make up your own chapter
for that with as much killing and blood and gore as you want and I'll
happily add that in coz there's nothing more fun than killing bad guys.
Hmm, so now we get to see what happened to Claire as she ran into the wilderness. This will be longer than the previous 2 chapters with a little slight humor since the previous chapter was so damn serious and I'm so not a serious person. This is for all those who wondered how Claire went by and actually got to Paris and Rockfort Island. Hope you enjoy this ppl!
EAST OF PENNANT FOREST:
Claire ran as fast as her feet could carry her and could see Umbrella agents chasing her in the far distance.
'Come on Claire, faster! Man I wish I never skipped gym class.' She thought as she ran through the thickening trees and had the branches slash and cut her flesh as she went by. She found a hidden cave and crept inside for safety and shelter, her breathing gradually increasing and her heart beating fast. If they found her now, she'd be a goner! She sat there in silence as she heard footsteps outside the cave.
"Where is she? Look all around she shouldn't be too far!" a man with a husky voice shouted over the crunching of leaves the men were making as they ran in all directions.
Claire Redfield clutched at her gun and reloaded the remaining bullets she had left. Unfortunately the bigger, better weapons were destroyed in the train explosion. 'I could really use a rocket launcher right now' she thought bitterly. She crept deeper into the cave and hid behind a rock. If they came in here she'll be ready for them.
"Sir! She's no where to be found or seen, what do you suggest we do sir!" Claire chuckled to herself.
It annoyed her when some people are treated as inferiors and in the army they always tried to break a soldiers strong personality and shatter his pride just so that he could follow orders as blindly as a mole. She believes in being her own boss. In first grade for example, she would never raise her hand to go to the bathroom or drink water, she would just leave and go. When they got her in trouble she would merely say, "that's silly! Why should I ask for permission to go pee when it's my RIGHT?" They could never argue with that one.
"There. Did you search that cave yet?" The husky voiced man said and instantly Claire's heart began to beat even faster. 'Shit!' she thought, 'shit shit shit!!'
"Let's go men!" shouted a bulky African American man with a deep voice and two other men followed him inside. They flashed their torchlights on and started getting closer and closer to where Claire was sitting. 'Oh God, I'm a goner, that's it.' She thought as the footsteps grew louder and louder.
"AAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!" One man screamed, making Claire almost jump right out of her skin.
"What, what is it man!?" Another soldier asked, and then also started screaming.
"Sir, a....a snake bit me! Oh my GOD what am I gonna do?? I'M GONNA DIEEEE!!!" The man started to throw a fit and cry like a baby. Claire almost burst out laughing at the sight. She knew it was not the time, but she never saw such a big man get so scared, and well..it was hilarious.
"Oh shut up you idiot! It's only a scratch." Said their captain but the man could not stop crying. "AH, get him outta here."
"Yes sir, at once!" said the other 2 men in union. With that, all the men started to retreat leaving Claire alone, in the cave..with a snake.
Claire slowly got out after she was sure the coast would be clear. She looked around frantically to see where the snake could be. She hated snakes and they probably scared her more than William Birkins! Thankfully it was nowhere in sight but she still walked out of the cave as carefully as she could. It would be a shame to have gone through the horrors of Raccoon City, and escaping weird Umbrella agents and then get bitten by a poisonous snake and die. What an embarrassing death that would be!
'Well this is it Claire Redfield, you are now a free woman and can find your brother finally.' Claire thought as she walked on trying to be as cheery as possible for her own sake but then her mind kept drifting to Leon and Sherry and how they were now in custody of Umbrella. 'God I feel so bad for leaving them..what will Umbrella do to them? Sherry might be safe since she's just a kid, but what if they hurt Leon? Oh God what if I never see him again!' she suddenly felt sick at the thought, and wondered why that would bug her anyway.
'Whatever it's not like I LIKE him or anything..I mean he's LEON for Gods sake. Goofy, charming Leon that no one would listen to..absolutely gorgeous Leon, with the amazing blue eyes, and the best looking body I ever seen.' Claire slapped herself for thinking that.
'Uh he's my friend. Besides I think he likes that Ada girl. He wouldn't let me help him because of her, and she's just a stupid, betraying, sluttish bitch that can't even save her own ass! Pshh, she's not even good enough for him, he deserves better. And what's with that red dress and black tights? Hello! It's so tacky. And please, like who falls in love in just one day? How pathetic is that? He doesn't love her; he's just confused that's all. Okaaaay, why am I thinking like this?..a person would think I was jealous of this Ada or something. Heh, yeah right!'
Claire had nothing else to do but think so that's what she did. She thought of what she had been through, of Leon and of Sherry..mostly of Leon though for some strange reason. (A/N: heh heh)
Finally Claire reached a small town. She didn't even know what it was called; all she knew was that she was penniless, exhausted, starving and smelling like crap gone bad. She walked through the packed streets, dragging her feet along.
'Man how did Leon tolerate Sherry on his back that whole time? He must be sooo strong!' she smiled a little then scolded herself for her constant thoughts of Leon Kennedy. It was starting to scare her already.
"Awww ya poor thang, ya look like yav been through hayl and back!" said a tiny old woman with extremely yellow teeth. She must have been about 4'8, which is really short next to Claire who stood a proud 5'6.
Claire gave a weak smile, "uh..yeah that's kinda what happened." She scratched her head several times wondering if there were nits in there.
'God, mutant nits? You never know, after all in Raccoon City everything was mutant, even the rats and cockroaches! If there are mutant nits in there then they'll be eating my skull off!'
Claire yelped at the thought and started to vigorously scratch her head.
"Have ya got any money sweetheart? Where are your parents and where do ya live?" Asked the sweet old woman with a look of great concern.
"Umm, I don't have any parents. Just a missing older brother, and I have no money what so ever at the moment..you see I've just had an accident, and everything exploded along with my motorcycle, and there were no cars around just the empty long road. So then I had to come walking here by myself, and here I am." Claire then sighed sadly trying to make the old lady feel more sorry for her. Maybe she'd let her stay with her for a while. Give her something to eat for free and a place to stay, who knows.
The old lady's eyes were wide open now, "OH MY! You poor poor thang! All that in jus one day, my no body deserves a day like that, especially a pretty young gal like yoself." Claire nodded sadly and the lady took her by the hand.
"come on now tell me your name."
"It's.." Claire thought for a moment. It might not be a good idea giving her real name, especially a time like this. "My name is Nadia..Nadia uh, Greenland."
"Oh Nadia, what a pretty name, suits you jus fine!" Claire smiled and walked off with the kind old lady.
TWO MONTHS LATER:
Claire was now back to her old home. Actually it was more like a dorm in college. The old lady had helped her a lot in those 12 days. Given her shelter and food and even some money to get by on so she can go back home. Luckily Claire had no mutant nits and her hair was just fine. Now she works hard trying to save up money to have enough to go to Paris, where she heard her brother was currently in. Her friends had no idea why she had been so tense about everything. She had been so eager to make a lot of money as quickly as possible, but they supported her all the way. A week later, she had enough money to take her to Paris and back, and a little more for a 3- star hotel including food. (A/N That's after 2 months of work of course)
Claire ran towards the University library to check her email one last time before leaving. She scanned through her boring forwarded emails and her eyes flew wide open when she saw and email titled 'Leon Kennedy:---Hey Claire'.
"Yesssss, he's ok!" she said a little too loudly. The library lady looked at her annoyed and told her to be quiet. Claire could not help but smile, she had been waiting for an email from Leon for the longest time..two whole months! She was afraid he might have lost the address she gave him after being caught by Umbrella. Claire opened the message and read:
Hey Claire, how've you been? I hope you got away just fine and found your brother already as we speak. Well Sherry and I are fine. Sherry has been taken to an orphanage for a little while. I guess you're wondering what happened after we were caught. Well it's kinda hard to explain on here but I've joined an anti raincoat organization.
*Claire smiled. He remembered Sherry's little joke about how Umbrella should have been called raincoat instead. This was probably to keep things a secret. She read on*
The organization contains a lot of lazy ass people that aren't really doing much to make a difference, but hey atleast they hate raincoat as much as me, right? Anyways, Sherry and I miss you and we hope to see you soon. Oh by the way, tell me when you find Chris. Take care until then and don't get yourself into any trouble.
Keep in touch Claire.
Yours truly,
Leon
Claire sighed as she logged off. 'Something's not right. How did they let Leon go so easily?' this thought kept repeating itself in her mind but she tried shooing it away. Besides she was really happy that Leon and Sherry were still alive and safe, so why should she stress herself more about the situation. Claire picked up her bags and ran to the bus station.
'Well Paris, here I come. And you'd so better be there Chris or I'm gonna fry your ass!'
A/N: Yay another chapter completed. Now you must all imagine what happened up until the Rockfort Island and the Antarctica incident. I'll write 2 more short chapters, one for Leon and one for Chris then the real story begins! (I hope *gulp* :op) That's where all the L/C interaction will go on, and a bit of J/C too^_~ And don't call me boring coz I support the widely supported C/L and J/C coz they're the best RE couples sheesh how can we have it any other way, it just won't be right! R+R people! It would be even better to get a review for each chapter, the more the merrier!
