Out of nowhere, Claire retaliated, knocking Wesker's gun away from her head. She turned and slammed her head forward into his neck before kicking him down. She couldn't let him win. She grabbed his fallen gun and aimed it at him with a growl. "Looks like you lose again, Wesker... this time... to Chris' little sister," she smirked as she held her boot down on his throat. She glanced to Chris and Leon. "You two go ahead... I'll be fine..." she looked back down to the pissed off Wesker.
Leon and Chris looked to each other again. They were surprised that she dared to fight back, and even more surprised that she downed Wesker without getting shot. "Come on, I think she can handle him..." Leon finally said after a moment. He figured he could take care of himself, but he knew that Wesker would do anything to kill Chris. Claire, on the other hand... Wesker would rather use her against her brother, than kill her.
Chris stared at him as though he was insane. How could he say that! He knew Leon liked and cared about Claire alot... and here he was... suggesting they just leave her! He was about to say something, but something else caught his attention. It was a strong smell. A strong, burning flesh smell. It almost caused him to clutch his stomach with nausia. He noticed Leon was experiencing the same feeling, but the younger man was pratically collapsed by it.
Out of nowhere, Leon felt himself get very sick. He didn't know what it was, but he held his stomach with a pained groan, sinking to his knees. It was then he started to smell it. It almost reminded him of the smell of a zombie on fire, back in Raccoon. But it didn't have the same affect on him before, why was this time any different... unless it ment that its soul purpose was to cause nausia.
Claire watched Leon sink to his knees, clutching his stomach. She still had her boot firmly planted on Wesker's throat, her gun aimed. She looked to Chris, who was clearly affected by mystery illness, but not as much as her friend was. She was the last to smell it, and possibly the least affected by it, next to Wesker. She frowned deeply, glancing towards the door as she heard something shuffling down the hall.
A loud screech was what caused Claire to collapse. She felt as though her head was going to explode, almost. She held her head with a pained groan, the screech continuing to echo throughout the lab. Her muscles tensed and locked up, no matter what she did to try to keep it from happening.
Wesker grinned as Claire finally fell backwards, unmoving. He got to his feet and looked down at her, not affected by either the smell, or the sound. "Nice try, Redfield..." he grabbed his gun back from the fallen girl, looking towards the two men. He noticed that Chris was still standing, but that didn't matter. As long as Claire was in trouble, he wouldn't follow him. "I'll be seeing you three in the future." he walked out of the room.
Chris could catch a glimpse of something trudging down the hall after Wesker, but he couldn't be sure what it was. When Wesker, and the Creature was gone, the nausia was gone. He looked to Claire, running over to her. He didn't know what caused her to collapse. Neither he, nor Leon, heard the screeching.
She finally regained the ability to move a moment or so after the screech ended. She didn't know why it paralyzed her like it did. But what made her wonder, was the fact that it seemed that her brother and Leon didn't hear it. "C...Chris...?" she looked up at him, confused.
He picked her up a little, holding her close. "It's ok, Claire... I'm here..." He sighed heavily.
