Ashley was excited. She was finally home! After Africa she was scared half to death. Why? Simple, she was missing for about three or four days and she couldn't leave and they wanted to kill her. Somehow, Ashley knew leaving would not do her any good. Chris picked her up from the government and took her to the BSAA headquarters. When she saw Chris she squealed and jumped on him. Not noticing Jill behind him. "Hey kiddo, I see you missed me." Chris said to her. Ashley giggled and said, "I did miss you and don't worry Leon and Sherry looked after me." Chris nodded and asked, "May I see them Ashley?" Ashley shook her head no and explained herself, "Leon had enough time to take me here then he had to go on a mission, Sherry left yesterday for her mission." Chris wondered how Ashley could smile after Africa, but decided that she had kept her mind off of it. "Let's go, everyone wants to meet you." With that said by Jill Ashley looked around and saw Jill behind Chris. She squealed in delight again. Chris gave her to Jill and she was instantly showered in hugs like how Chris was. She smiled and kept babbling about how nice Leon and Sherry were to her. When they reached the car Ashley, Chris and Jill were talking the whole way to the headquarters. As they walked they noticed that Ashley had a bounce in her step. Jill and Chris knew that they would have to thank Leon and Sherry for this. They didn't even walk through the door when everyone wanted to see Wesker's daughter. Some were whispering to each other and others were saying how pretty she was. And others, Chris swore that he heard a female say, "She is so cute! She would make a beautiful baby for Chris and Jill." Apparently Jill heard it too and she had an expression on her face that said what. They moved toward the offices and shut the door. The first thing Ashley said when they shut the door is, "Those people scared me. And I think I heard someone say that I would make a beautiful baby for the both of you." They figured that she didn't know that people were behind her. And whoever was working quietly started chuckling at the thought. Chris shook his head and told everyone to finish their reports. They done as they were told but kept looking up from time to time. Chris shook his head and sighed. "Come on kiddo, let's call Claire and she'll take you to the apartment." Apparently they didn't have to call. Claire was waiting to pick her up from the headquarters as soon as they walked out of the offices. "Come on Ashley, I heard a lot from Chris about you." Claire smiled and Ashley went with her. The two girls talked about nothing in particular. And continued to talk about Ashley's experience at the government. And much more. First they stopped and got pizza for a girls night. Claire explained that Chris won't be home until about one in the morning so they had the entire night to themselves. Ashley nodded her head and smiled at Claire, a couple minutes later they reached the house and started picking out movies. Apparently when Chis and Claire were younger they kept their movies that were still watchable and used them once in a while. Claire admitted that she watched some of the movies more, after the incidents of Raccoon City, Rockford and Antarctica. Ashley understood why thinking about her experiences in Africa. Claire must have noticed that she was a hundred miles away and said, "Don't think about it. It will never leave after that." Ashley smiled sadly and said, "I know it's just that I can't seem to bring myself to think about anything else. Not after what happened in Africa..." Ashley trailed off. Claire nodded and the movie came on.

One and a Half later...

After they finished off half of the pizza during the movie. Claire noticed that Ashley fell asleep during the credits. Claire smiled softly and Chris came through the door. "Is she asleep?" Chris asked and scared Claire half to death. "Yes, she's asleep. And what are you doing home now?" Claire whispered at him. "I was allowed to leave. To come and watch Ashley, but apparently I didn't have to." Claire sighed. "Take her to one of the rooms while I take the movie out." Chris raised his eyebrow at her and did as he was told. When he came back he asked, "What's wrong Claire?" Chris was worried and Claire knew it. "She's still thinking about it and she can't stop. Honestly I'm scared to see what would happen if she was to go to school this fall. Would they tease her or will they be nice? I mean she is only eleven and she is going through a trauma that no eleven year old should know about." Claire rambled on for a couple of minutes until Chris cut her off. They talked for a little bit before they went to bed themselves. Hoping that her trauma from her father would wear off.

The next week after Ashley got home...

"Morning Chris, morning Claire..." Ashley trailed off noticing that their was three guests in the living room. Chris stood up and walked toward her and lead her to the chesterfield. "Ashley, this is Rebecca Chambers, Billy Coen, and Barry Burton. They are some of our friends." Chris reassured her. Ashley nodded her head and introduced herself. They smiled at her and they talked for at least three hours before they had to leave. Chris had to do a night shift later on which meant he had a mission to go on. Ashley and Claire were left alone in the house, so they decided to bake cookies and muffins to pass some time. It was about nine o'clock when Ashley went to bed. Claire thought to herself, "Oh Ashley, I wish I could heal your broken heart from the pain he put you through." An hour later Claire herself went to bed. Unknown to her that Ashley's father was going to start his plan that night.

Ashley's P.O.V

I went to bed and I instantly felt that someone was watching me. I looked over my shoulders and around the room. Nothing. Not a signal soul in the room. I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me though. I thought about asking Claire if I could sleep in her room for the night but fought against it. It would make me look weak, which I did a lot lately. I felt guilty about not letting them know that I was scared to sleep at night. Not without having dreams about my father anyways. I heard a noise, that sounded strangely like my window opening. I turned my head to see who it was. Bad mistake. The person had a black leather jacket, shirt, pants, shoes and sunglasses. He had blond slicked back hair. Oh gods. No, he died back in Africa! I that volcano. I saw it for myself, I was a witness. A key eye witness. I was scared half to death. Shoot, I forgot that he knew that I was awake and that I was scared. "Diana, I know you are awake. No, point in hiding daughter." I took a shaky breath and said, "I thought you died back in Africa. I mean the volcano and the two RPG rocket launchers." He smiled evilly and said, "The virus protected it's host. Which saved me." To be completely honest with myself. I did not want to know what happened after Chris, Jill and I left. But I suspected that I would find out soon enough eventually. "Come with me Diana and no one will be hurt. Not Chris, Jill, Claire, Leon anyone who is close to you." Oh no, that was I was afraid of. That propose. "No one will be hurt, not a soul?" I had to ask him. I knew what my answer would be if he said that no one would be harmed. But if he lied... Well I would figure it out as I went along. Wesker frowned at that. "You don't trust your father Dina?" I wanted to say, "No, does it look like I trust you. You are evil and care about no one" I held my tongue on that thinking he would kill Claire so instead I said, "Of course I trust you! Why wouldn't I?" He grabbed my arm and injected something in it too.

Ashley's Dream

I was walking on a floor. It looked like a hospital that needed no repair. I saw a woman and a man. The woman was holding a baby, her face tear streaked. She had brown hair and brown eyes, which from afar looked a dark chocolate. But as you get closer you realise that they are not dark but a regular chocolate brown. The woman looked familiar but I couldn't place where I have seen her. The man beside her looked like Wesker. I got closer and I realised that was Wesker! So the woman must have been my mother. "Albert you know I'm not going to make it. Please protect her! Do whatever you need to but don't let Umbrella take her, give her the virus and send her away. Don't keep her near you. They will find the angel before she turns eleven!" The woman looked panicked like she knew what would happen to me if I stayed close to my father. "Al, I want you to name her. She is yours." Wesker nodded his head and looked older that what he actually was. Which guessing was thirty-five. "Diana Ashley Wesker. Named after you and your mother and my own mother." Wesker said. My mother smiled and whispered, "Little Diana. Named after the Roman form of Artemis Goddess of the hunt, forests and hills and the moon. Ashley ash tree meadow." My mother whispered the names meanings or history and I knew why my father named me it. Funny how it makes sense after you hear it from your birth mother. "Diana," Wesker yelled, "I need a doctor!" Everything happened so fast. But one thing I couldn't shake out of my head was the way Wesker, Albert Wesker looked after he found out my mother, who I found out name is Diana died. He nodded his head and I respected him just a little bit. My key word was little. He brought me to a different room. "Diana, I am so sorry about this. One day I hope I will be able to tell you why I have done this." He brought out a needle from his pocket and I gasped. It was the virus that runs through my veins at this very moment. He took me away from the hospital and took me home to a new place where I would be raised...

Something woke me out of my sweet memory. Well as sweet as it could get anyways. Wesker was pacing the room on the phone. "Diana, it's Claire. Would you like to speak to her?" I nodded my head and said, "Claire I am fine, please tell everyone I had no choice to if I didn't want anyone hurt. And also tell them not to come find me. Please Claire. Promise me that." Claire answered me and I was happy that she a least promised. "Thank you." I passed the phone to Wesker and said, She wants to speak to you for a moment. He nodded his head and accepted the phone. "I had a dream of when I was born. I now understand fully why you chose my name." He started talking about my mother and I was happy to hear something about her. Apparently I look like her. He went to his room and brought a photo album back with him. We looked through and told me about each one. To be honest it was fun to hear that he was still a little bit human. But I knew it wouldn't last for long.
