Claire quickly brung her knee up, catching him between his legs. Bryan let go of

her arm and dropped down onto his knees, moaning in pain. She ran over by

Leon's side and put two fingers on his neck, quickly checking for a pulse. When

she felt his pulse, she knew she had a chance to save him. She ripped his

shirt open only to find the bullet stuck to a bulletproof vest he had been smart

enough to put on. Even though the vest saved his life, he was still unconscious

from the impact. Her heart jumped when she heard footsteps behind her. She

quickly spun around only to feel the smooth surface of Bryan's gun against her

cheek. He pulled her off of the floor and onto her feet, dragging her behind him.

He shoved her down onto a chair near the long dining room table and brung

his gun up to her forehead. "Do not tempt me Ms.Redfield," he said, angrily

pressing the gun against her forehead. "I will not hesitate to kill you." He grabbed

her neck and pushed her back against the chair. "You're gonna do as I say, got

it," he said, his grip getting tighter. Claire gasped for air, trying to pull his hand

away from her neck. He roughly shoved her against the chair before letting

her go. Claire took air into her lungs, trying to catch her breath. If he had held

on to her neck alittle longer, he would've strangled her to death. "Where's my

brother," Claire managed to say, still out of breath. "Ah yes, Chris. Him and

Valentine are right downstairs waiting for William to arrive," he said. "I think

it would be best if you joined them." He grabbed her by the arm and pulled

her towards the basement door. He reached for the door knob but before he

could pull the door open a loud gun shot echoed throughout the mansion. Claire

looked up at Bryan and gasped when she saw blood oozing out of his mouth.

He opened his mouth as if trying to say something but nothing came out. She

quickly backed away from him as his body fell forward and hit the hard floor.

She stared down at Bryan's body as a puddle of blood began to form around

his head. After a few seconds, she looked pass the body and saw Leon with

his gun still pointed at it. She looked down at the body one last time before

running into Leon's arms. Leon wrapped his arms around her, feeling her whole

body tremble. For once in her life Claire was so happy to be saved, especially

by a guy. She always liked to do things on her own but She never really minded

Leon helping her out. She felt safe in his arms. He was like her protective shield,

blocking all the bad guys from her. She finally pulled out of his grasp and looked

up at him. "Leon, I know where Chris is," she said, turning to the door beside

Bryan's body.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jill held on to the steel bars in front of her, listening to see if she heard another

gun shot. Something was going on up there and she wanted to know exactly

what it was. She prayed it wasn't Leon. After all, they did want to kill him. They

didn't need him. Chris held on to the steel bars beside him and slowly lifted

himself up from the ground. The thought of someone hurting Claire flashed

through his mind. Jill turned around and looked up at Chris who was trying to

keep himself standing. "Chris, we have to get out of here," she said, almost

in a whisper. Before Chris could answer, the door swung open, light filling the

dark room. Jill spun around, quickly grabbing onto Chris' arm. He could feel

her grip getting tighter as someone began to make their way down the cement

steps. Jill hoped that William wasn't the one walking down the steps. Just the

thought of it sent chills down her back. She watched as the person walked

down the last few steps and began walking toward the cell. Then something

caught her eye. There was someone else right behind the first person. Although

the door was open and there was a small amount of light, she couldn't really

see their faces. Chris put his arm in front of Jill and gently pushed her behind

him. A bright light flashed on and they put their hands in front of their faces,

shielding their eyes from it. "Chris!" He pulled his hands away from his face

and saw his sister standing in front of him, her hands gripping the bars tightly.

A smile spread across his face and he made his way toward her, half walking

half limping. "Claire! Leon! thank god your okay," Jill said, finally getting her-

self to stop trembling. Claire pulled the steel bars, trying to open the door,

but when she looked down she noticed the lock. "Shit!" she angrily yelled, still

tugging on the door. "Chris, where's the key," Claire said, holding onto the bars

tightly. Jill suddenly remembered that Bryan had the key. "Bryan has it." Jill

muttered. "He shoved it in his pocket before he went back upstairs." Claire

turned and glanced at Leon. He knew exactly what she was thinking when he

saw the expression on her face. Bryan was probably infected and walking

around like another one of those undead bastards. The virus was airborne

and it wouldn't take long for it to bring his dead cells back to life. Claire turned

to her brother, trying not to look worried. She didn't want Chris to know that

Bryan was dead until she got the key. "....Chris, I'm going to get the key," she

said, noticing the look on his face. "I'm gonna get you out of here." Claire spun

around and began walking toward the steps. "Claire?" She stopped and

turned to Chris. "...Be careful," he said softly. Claire nodded and began

walking up the steps closely followed by Leon.

Note: I know this chapter wasn't that good but it'll get better. I wanna thank ktdid and Jano for the reviews. I'm like a really big fan of resident evil. I can't wait till apocalypse hits the theaters. I'm really looking forward to this movie. I really didn't like the first one because there were no characters from the games. I'm glad they decided to put Jill and Carlos in this movie but their still forgetting the Redfield's Anyway, please R&R. The fourth chapter will be posted pretty soon.
