Authors note, I do not own Resident Evil.
Jill Valentine, sighed in relieve when she closed the door behind her. She was in the back of a van, serving as head quarters for this operation. Sitting by the monitors was Rebecca Chambers, she was sipping on a slurpy, listening to radio signals. In the corner was Carlos Olivera, cleaning his guns, he looked up and smiled at her. She smiled back, Leon S. Kennedy had just called her, Chris and Claire where safe and coming, why not smile?
" Good news guys!" Rebecca took her ear phones off and looked at her.
" What?" Carlos put done his gun and scootched over making room for Jill to sit down.
" Chris is coming back, he found his sister! And we have an extra in our party." Rebecca looked relieved.
" I'm so glad Chris is safe, how do you know?" Jill handed Carlos a coffee.
" When Chris told me he was going to find his sister I knew he would need help, so I called a old friend of Claire's, Leon. He tracked them down and all three are coming back, plus Leon has offered to help us." Carlos blow on his coffee and nodded.
" so our five party crew has now become a six party crew."
Somewhere………
He stumbled away from the building as fast as he could.
" Claire." He whispered. He tripped over the died body of one of his commandos -for-hire. He pulled himself back up and kept moving, Chris would come back and see if his body was there. So as he entered the woods, when he was out of sight he turned and watched, and in a matter of minutes he saw his dark form enter the clearing and head for the building.
if only I had my gun Redfield, it would be you who is bloody! He felt the back of his head, nothing overly damaging, but enough to weaken him for the moment. A small hole was there. He dropped his hand and watched as Chris went back into the forest. Wesker, himself turned and went in his own direction. When he got to the road he stopped and radioed in to his waiting chopper to come and pick him up.
" And have a doctor there waiting!"
He sat down and ran his hand over the hole in his head again.
When the bullet hit, his vision had blurred for a moment, the pain blinding him, he involuntarily slid to the ground. When he fell he was slightly worried that he had met his end! Through all he had done! Only to die so soon……..but no he did not die, because the bullet had missed his brain, by mere mille inches, but of course head wounds bleed profusely, and indeed the back of his jacket is wet and sticking to his back. But he didn't really feel the pain any more, it kind of faded as he fell into his thoughts, he didn't know how but his hate for Chris had doubled in a matter of mere minutes. He forced his eyes to stay open.
I'm stronger then this………… He breathed deep and blocked his thought, for they were what was hurting him the most…….Claire.
Before, when he had laid on the dirty floor, he had felt her laying beside him, he felt her beating heart, her blood flowing in her veins, GOD it was sickening how much he loved and wanted her! He gritted his teeth at his weakness and listened for his chopper to arrive.
In a beat up Porsche………
Claire's P.O.V.
I smell………old spice after shave, Leon's favorite. And I hear him, Leon and Chris talking, they must have come for me. Funny……I cant remember vary well, I must have really been out of it.
I opened my eyes and looked around, I could see Chris driving he looked horrible, with a huge black and blue on his face. Leon is on my other side……God I haven't seen him in so long, he looks great. I realize my head is resting on his shoulder, and he has his arm around me. He say's something to Chris, but I cant hear him well. They haven't noticed I'm awake. My mind starts to race……….where's Wesker now? I remember, ………..something?…..No………., Wait, he was on the ground, with me…….. He was shot, but not dead, I just know. I can feel him, inside, if he were dead, I would know. But he is wounded, I want to see him, but at the same time, I hope he never finds me again. Because I love him, but it hurts, So much…………it hurts so much to love him, he's evil and I'm not, and I HATE that he took my life in his hands and decided to change me………… I don't want to be me, now, I want to be back the way I was.
And now I'm with Chris, I can breath, be a little saver, because I love my Brother, and he means the world to me. But what is he going to think? When he finds out? When he finds out I'm not the same Claire? And……..Leon? I feel him right beside me, I remember him back in Raccoon City, I remember all those old feelings inside, that we had for each other, that I thought I had gotten rid off. This……… emptiness started to build in my stomach as I think of what he would think about me when he found out I wasn't exactly human anymore, ………….and what if they find out I slept with Wesker!
Leon's P.O.V.
I cant believe I'm holding her again, all those empty nights I spent thinking of her, wondering if she ever thought about me, just slip away as I hold her closer. I'm talking to Chris, but not really paying attention to what is being said, because I'm listening to her shallow breathing. She looks……..beautiful, exactly like the moment she looked when I last saw her. And she cant know how much she means to me! I mean, she is the woman, the one, my only. I know that only with her can all the night mares that haunt my soul go away, because when I love her, and if she loved me, I could make, make it for one more year, one more month, one more week, one more day, one more hour, one more minute………but with out this, I know some day I'll not be able to take any more of it.
God…….I sound like some Hollywood movie! I chuckle inside. Her eyes open, but I don't say anything, because I realize she doesn't want to talk, she quickly closes them, and when she dose a single tear ran down her cheek. I wanted so bad to reach out and catch it in the palm of my hand. But I held back and focused on Chris, but he had long since grown quite, I wonder what he is thinking about?
Chris's P.O.V.
What did you do to her
Wesker!…………
Nothing she didn't like, I'm sure……………
It kept playing over, AND over again in my mind! What did that basterd do to you Claire! At least you're safe now, I wont let him touch you again, so long as I can help it!
I looked down at her, when was it going to end?
When one of us is dead……… My mind answered for me. Really though, Wesker, Umbrella, they never would end would they? There is always going to be a threat to me, and my sister, ………..and Jill. I need to find a way to stop it. What Jill had said was right………..I had strong feelings for her, or I wouldn't have saved her when we were trapped in the mansion, but even though I love her……..and would die to save her, she has to understand that, if Claire needs me……….I'll be there….that's just how it is. And as I drive down this road, I realize just how scared I was that Claire might have died! Really! Wesker could have killed her at any moment…… Why didn't he? And when he kissed her! I wanted to hurt him in ways I never thought to hurt some one before. What he said…….nothing she didn't like I'm sure…..what did that mean, did he touch her? If he did……..No don't think like that.
And so they road thru the night, Leon nodded of, but Chris kept driving. They covered good ground, but they still had to go about ninety miles north to reach Jill and the others. Leon woke and saw that it was late, vary late, and Chris looked like shit.
" Man, you've done good Chris, but I think you should stop for now, there's a little motel up the road about two miles, come on I'll pay." Chris was too tired to refuse, so when they got there, Chris waited in the car with Claire as Leon went to the desk to get a room. They would have gotten two rooms, but that was unwise, incase of ambush they would have better chance of survival if they stuck together.
