Chapter 3: Mine
I had only gotten a mere 3 hours of sleep when Alice was dragging me out of bed. Apparently a few BOWs were running loose in a Tricell lab in London. They choose to call us. Which peaked my interest. Most companies tried to hide their dirty work. As we were loading up we given files of the report to go over. It was too early for this non-sense. The report claimed lab tampering, and the subjects weren't intended as BOWs. They somehow mutated beyond what was given to them.
"Wesker..." I whispered.
"Oddly enough, we received the report from A. Wesker." Dan who was sitting right next to me said.
"What I don't get is, how in the world did he get to London so quickly? He only had 4 or 5 hours." I replied.
"He had since the Ball, it would be plenty of time with Umbrella's jets."
"No, he only had 4 or 5 hours Dan." I responded. Knowing full well the questions were coming.
"You know this how?" Chris asked looking over from his seat.
"He came to say hello last night." I admitted, my head looking to the ground.
"You choose to tell us this now?" Jill demanded.
"It's really quite um... embarrassing." my voice was growing quiet by every word.
"Just spit it out K-mart." Leon barked.
"He stopped by to inform me that..." My hands covered my face as I felt it getting red. "That, he, we... Our pheromones react to one another, more so than they do with... normal humans." I was stammering at that point. God I just wanted to jump from the plane and die at that moment.
To my horror, the plane fell silent for the next few hours. Dan did hold my hand for comfort and I was glad. Though the pity was getting to me. I drifted off to sleep, and woke up as we were landing. I wondered how bad they talked about me, though what could I do really? I was shocked to see Carlos meeting us on the run way. He looked amazing as always and I ran to this arms giving him a big hug.
"You've grown a lot K-mart." he said sweetly, at the end of our hug.
"Of course. I've been every where, seen a lot more than what you would expect of me." I replied, my voice still excited.
"You're definitely different." He looked to the others who were staring. "Right. So this way. The BOWs are being contained in the lower regions of their facility. No casualties yet, and head of the lab is waiting for us on the surface entry with instructions."
I stayed with Carlos, even sitting with him in the SUV ride over. Besides Wesker, the only other man I had ever liked was Carlos. Being close to him like this gave me hope that I wouldn't be stuck with the monster Albert Wesker. The next thing I knew, I was falling asleep again.
"Wake up sleeping beauty." Carlos was shaking me gently.
"No, you're far too comfy and nice."
I heard him laugh and then knew it was him dragging me out of the SUV. Everyone else looked pleasant. I guess my cuddling and sleep session affirmed them that I wasn't stuck on Wesker or his damn pheromones. The entrance looked deserted, but we kept marching any way. Weapons were being handed out and equipped. I opted for my standard Desert Eagles, an AK47, and my M82A1 SASR. Carlos helped me into my gear like old times and it made me feel like less of the traitor I had been a week ago.
As we neared the entrance, I paused. Butterflies formed in my stomach and I motioned for the group to stop. With my adrenaline catching, I edged into the doors with my pistols drawn. A man stood there, it wasn't just any man. He looked like Wesker, only slightly older. His blue eyes caught mine and we stared for a few seconds. He was dressed in lab attire, I noted.
"Barbie, are you dead yet?" I heard Chris call.
"Come and find out." I yelled back.
As the others approached, the snickering and jokes stopped immediately.
"Hello, I'm Alexander Wesker, the lead scientist for this facility." He said, his voice clear. Silence filled the room. Being the only one with a somewhat clear mind, I spoke.
"What happened here Mr. Wesker?" I asked calmly.
"It was a normal day. Until the lab exploded. I was in the conference room when we received footage of BOWs coming from the lab. We sealed them off. Our dilemma, besides the obvious is this. We weren't experimenting on any type of virus in this facility, it's pharmaceuticals only." He replied, his gaze finally leaving me.
The coordinates and keycards were given out. Though I had a few questions for Alex Wesker, they'd have to wait. Alex waved to us as we got on the elevator. I smiled back to him, which was odd of me. If he was part of Wesker's Children, then no wonder I felt at ease with him. I was very acceptive of being different of my friends. I wanted to be like everyone else. I wanted a husband and children, but I also wanted a world of freedom and safety. So in a way, I was grateful to be apart of the BSAA. Maybe a husband or children could never be apart of my life.
The only thing annoying about the London's Tricell branch was the fact it was utterly silent. We were walking through the higher part of the lab and as expected it looked like a typical BOW attack. How it managed to not kill anyone, I didn't understand. Maybe everyone was at the meeting when it occurred which would just luck for so many. It might also explain tampering. Carlos stayed in front of me at all times, and I just wanted to giggle at him. I wonder if he realized he was as protective of me as he really was.
"I'm not sensing anything, just continue to the lower levels. It'll save time and nerves." I suggested.
"Sure if you feel like being the lamb to slaughter." Chris replied.
"Very well. I'd like to get out of here some time today." I replied, moving to the front of the pack. Carlos along with Alice, moved with me.
A few rooms later, I felt them moving. There were three of them, pretty big in size. I held up three fingers and pointed to the door. I slid my Desert Eagles in their holsters and pulled my AK47 from my back. I looked behind to see if everyone was ready, as soon as they were I slid the keycard in place. When the door opened, I saw the first creature. It was a mutated tiger, looking at me from five feet away. My finger hit the trigger without any hesitation. With the combined firepower from Alice and Carlos, it didn't get the chance to jump from the desk. The second one came running towards and leaped over our heads. While Chris, Jill, Claire, and Dan dealt with that one, the third one was staring at me. Then it came running.
With my adrenaline pumping I went running towards it, I unsheathed one of my leg knives and jumped towards it. The tiger and I met half in the air. With it outweighing me, I fell with it on top of me. My knee kept it's chest and mouth away from me. Instead of stabbing it in head, I grabbed it's head with both hands. Feeling my rage swell inside of me I ripped it's snapping head off with ease. The body went limp as I threw the head, I kicked the rest of the carcass off me. I just laid there for a few seconds breathing heavily.
"K-mart are you ok?" I heard Carlos ask. From my place in the floor, I nodded. I laid there concentrating. I couldn't feel any more creatures.
"I think that's it. I'm not sensing anything other than Wesker number 2 up top." I said, finally jumping up on my feet.
"Take samples and let's get out of here." Dan commanded, taking my word for it.
Looking down at tigers, I knew it was Uroboros. The bodies were gaining the same qualities as Wesker's had in the volcano. Though maybe the tigers had been infected with a more stable version. The bodies held more composition, though the skin was rubbery and limbs easily bended. Alex was waiting for us at the top.
"Two questions, how did tigers get down there? Why aren't there bodies down there? I have never seen an outbreak without casualties." I asked before anyone could say anything to him.
"The tigers are used for drug testing as well as biological studies. When it's a major company conference, the heads are in the private room and the rest of the employees are in the main entertainment room as footage is streamed." He replied without missing a beat.
I looked to Carlos, not wanting to believe him. He was a Wesker child after all, I couldn't imagine him being much different from Albert. Maybe I was being too judgmental, but I liked living. I glared at Alex for a while, until Carlos led me away. Dan spoke with Alex while we loaded into the SUVs feeling relieved that today was a casualty free day. As soon as Dan pulled off we took off for the airport.
"Fine work K-mart. I'll miss you." Carlos told me as we neared the airport.
"I wish you were Alpha team, then we could see each other more." I replied sweetly.
"We're still recruiting more, Rebecca has opted to come from Tokyo. Just put in for it and I'll see you're on the next plane out Oliveira." Dan commented. I smiled at Dan.
"Our house still has two rooms open Carlos. You'll help even out the ratio for poor Josh who's stuck with 3 females." Alice added. With Carlos being cornered, he simply reached for Dan's hand and shook it. For once, I was happy on a plane ride.
For the next few hours Dan pretty much interrogated me on the Weskers. I told him I felt more of an attraction for Albert, but I felt very aware of Alex. I also told him to not worry about Albert as he had offended more in 5 minutes than Chris had managed all the years I had known him. I convinced my attraction was also purely sexual. Which wasn't a complete lie. I felt a little bit more for Wesker, but I'd never admit it after the way he had spoken to me.
It was about 8 PM when we got home. I felt the need to go out for the first time in six months. Carlos and the others weren't much for going clubbing. I already received the various grunts and eyerolls as I ran about the house getting ready. I ended up in a black and gunmetal leopard print strapless mini dress. I also were 5 inch stilettos and large silver hoops earrings. My hair was in soft wild curls. I had on thick winged black eyeliner with barbie pink lips.
"I can't believe I'm letting you out of the house looking like a whore. You better run before Carlos sees you!" Alice yelled as I was running out the door.
I practically fell into my blue mustang. I sped out of the driveway, fearful of Carlos seeing me like this. I convinced myself that I needed to be young and that I wasn't dead, yet anyway. I also needed to find a new man to lose myself in for just a few hours. As I pulled around to DC9. I walked to the front of the line, surprised to see the same bouncer who always let me. He smirked and moved the rope.
I scanned the club for places to dance. I ended up by a couch area. There I started dancing, moving my hips to the techno music, looking like I was belly dancing. As I dance, my shields broke down and I gave in to the music, forgetting time and everything else. Eventually, a guy sat down on the couch I was dancing in front of me. Smirking, I asked.
"Enjoying the show?" my voice came out teasingly.
"Sure am Dahlia." came the reply from a very familiar voice.
Instead of simply turning, I did so as I danced. I was relieved when it wasn't Wesker. In stead it was Carlos. Though surprised all to hell, I was happy it was him.
"I think I grew up more than you liked." I giggled.
"Oh no, it's about time Kay." his reply shocked me.
His held on to me as I danced. His dark eyes on me, it made me feel wanted. Wanted, it's how Wesker made me feel, but he was pure evil. Even if Carlos slept with me, he'd be there when I woke up. He'd cuddle with me and whisper me the sweet nothings I craved to hear from a man. As his hands roamed my body, they stopped when they reached my ass.
"Why aren't you wearing panties?" His voice seemed annoyed.
"I'm tired of being a virgin Carlos." I replied, still moving my body in slow sultry moves.
"Good thing I showed up tonight. Huh?"
I smirked and straddled his lap, my body still moving. His large hands roamed all over me. His head leaned forward and he placed kisses all over my throat. I moaned and concentrated on grinding against him. It was hard when he started licking my breasts throw my dresses' cloth. Then I realized he was rock hard.
"Take me home, let's go to bed." I whispered.
As I stood, my arm was grabbed hard and I was yanked backwards. My body landed into something hard. When I looked up, I met Wesker's very angry glowing feline eyes. As Carlos stood, Wesker slammed me into the couch from behind. His fist connected with Carlos and he went flying. Wesker turned to me and then drug to the exit of the club. As when we exited he threw me over his shoulder. A few blocks and he set me down in front of a black Bentley. He opened the door, then when I refused to get in he slung me into the leather seat. As we sped to the interstate, I fought him. He eventually held me with one arm over the middle console and I felt my sides bruising. Eventually I gave up and he let go. He then looked to me glaring.
"For someone who didn't want to be treated like a whore, you act like one with ease." He said coldly.
"He would have cuddled with me after wards, it's more than what you would have done!" I shot back.
"Right before he moved on the next female to fuck the next night."
"Like you wouldn't have done the same thing!" I screamed.
His right hand slapped my face hard. I sat there quietly as he drove, rubbing my face. I was beyond infuriated at this point and I was tired of pain. I paid slight attention to the road signs as we passed. We were going north. Then with my anger almost in control, I looked to him. He seemed extremely angry, his teeth were gritting, and he was grimacing. His eyes glowed harshly through his sunglasses and that scared me.
"I wouldn't have done that to you, dear heart." he said finally after seemed like an eternity to me.
"I thought I was supposed to come to you. Not the other way around." I replied, my eyes back on the road.
"It would appear that I lied." He replied his voice still livid.
"Where are we going?" My voice came out like a whisper because I was scared of the answer.
"Home." He said simply.
When I looked to him again, he had a needle in hand. I drew my arms in instantly. He smirked.
"We can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's your choice." He informed me coldly.
I let out a breathe and slowly let my left arm lean on the center console. Tears spilled down my face when I felt the needle sink into my skin. The darkness came and I was scared.
With Dahlia sound asleep, I reclined her seat so she'd be comfortable. She had been a handful of surprises lately. From tearing heads off to her attempt of throwing the one innocence she retained away. She stood her ground, while I respected it, it didn't matter. She was mine. She did deserve more than me just fucking her, but she just didn't understand me. I wasn't going to tell her I loved her just to get into her panties. That was the typical male lie for any woman. She was special. Over time, she'd have to just get used to my cold sentiment. Maybe even one day she'd appreciate my honesty. It's more than any other man on this Earth would grant her.
It was past 2 AM when I pulled into Toronto to the manor. Dahlia was still sound asleep, looking cute. She was the only woman on this planet who I'd use the word on. I had never used it until I seen her on Arcadia. She could have been mine then, but Alice came to the rescue. I would have killed Alice, but once I seen the bond she shared with Dahlia, I couldn't do it. At least not in front of Dahlia.
Dahlia felt as light as feather as I carried her inside the manor. As I walked to the hive entrance, she actually leaned into me. As if it was habit, I kissed her forehead. It was comical how much she thought I just wanted to fuck her. If only the girl had any clue what she had done to me...
