Wesker lay awake most of the night thinking back to his childhood. All the horrible memories of all the children dieing around him after the booster shots they were given. Children screaming out for their parents and being slapped harshly across the face and told to shut up and that they had no parents.
"Don't worry honey this is a school for special children like you." He could hear his mother say. That was the last time he saw her. She never came to visit once she had left him there. Years later he realised she probably had tried to visit him and was probably killed or used as a test subject by umbrella. All the lonely nights he had spent lying in his bed praying that his mother would come and take him away from this place. He was only 8 but he knew that this was hell. All the test they had to sit, all the lectures they had to listen too everything was bad. They were occasionally allowed to wonder the gardens. Wesker had been out walking when he heard someone crying up ahead. He wondered across and found his best friend Sylvia sitting on the grass. Her sleeves were soaked with tears. He sat down next to her.
"How long have you been crying here Sylvia?" he asked.
"I don't know Albert I haven't been counting." She answered. Albert put his arm around her and she leaned against him.
"You are my best friend Albert." She said.
"And you are my best friend." Albert said. Sylvia smiled and stopped crying.
"What are you two doing here?" A man asked. Sylvia began to cry again.
"We were just talking that's all." Albert answered. The man grabbed Sylvia roughly by the arm.
"Your coming with me little missy." He said.
"Albert help me please don't let the bad man take me." She screamed through the tears.
"Let her go." Albert called. He wouldn't let go of Sylvia's hand. The man knocked him back.
"ALBERT." She screamed.
"SYLVIA." He called back. Wesker sat on the grass and cried. A few days later he was informed that his best friend had died in an accident. Albert didn't want to believe what he was hearing he ran away and hid and for days no one could find him. He managed to find his way to the laboratory and was shocked to discover his friend in a tank. He was happy and deeply troubled at the same time. He was collared and taken back to the room.
"You didn't see anything down there did you?" the scientist asked. Albert shook his head.
"Good boy best to keep it that way you never know what will happen to you." He said. The scientist walked away leaving a very shaken Albert behind. What he didn't realise at the time was that he was being watched by the head of the facility Ozwell Spencer. For some reason he had taken a interest in the young Albert Wesker. Albert also didn't find out until years later that Spencer had told the men to make sure Wesker never got attached to anyone for he had plans for him that meant he couldn't have feelings which could stand in his way.
Wesker woke up without realising he had been asleep. He looked across and saw Jill staring at him.
"Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yeah maybe you can I didn't think a monster like you could cry but I was wrong you were crying and calling out in your sleep that's why I am awake you were very loud." Jill answered.
"I was dreaming that's all." Wesker said. He was feeling rather embarrassed for his little outburst.
"Oh ok so who is Sylvia?" Jill asked.
"She is no concern of yours." Wesker answered.
"Ok be like that but next time keep it down I am trying to sleep here." Jill said. she lay back down and went back to sleep. Wesker could feel the tears beginning to form in his eyes. He wiped them away before they could fall. He hadn't thought bout Sylvia in many years and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened to her. Maybe she was spared the same fate as the rest of the children and was alive somewhere. Just thinking about her was making him upset again so he stopped. He laid awake the rest of the night. When Jill woke up the next morning she found he was gone. Sighing, she got up and went to the sink to get a drink of water. All through the night she had tried to figure out who Sylvia was. She couldn't remember if the Wesker had any siblings and even if he did with the way he was now he would probably kill them himself to stop any of his enemies getting to them. She came to the conclusion that Wesker might have had a friend when he was young and something happened to her that deeply scarred him. She was going to ask Wesker when he returned who she was but when he returned he was in no shape to talk.
"What happened to you?" she asked worriedly.
"Max decided to tie me up and beat me with an iron pole for a while." Wesker answered. He had bruises all over his body but they were healing so Jill wasn't too worried.
"I know it is none of my business but I would like to know who Sylvia is?" Jill asked while she was checking his wounds.
"I told you it has nothing to do with you." Wesker said.
"I know she must have been close to you because of the way you shouted out her name." Jill continued.
"Jill I suggest you stop talking about this." Wesker said.
"Something bad happened to her, she was taken away from you, you jumped in and tried to stop her getting taken away and you failed you called out her name as she was getting taken away, now she wasn't your girlfriend as such but she was special too you and you blame yourself for what happened to her." Jill finished. Wesker stared at her gob smacked. It was like she was reading his mind. He never felt guilty about anything apart from that day when he let his dearest friend be taken from him.
"And what makes you think that?" Wesker asked.
"I don't know I just sense that she was something special to you and when she was taken from you guilt began to set in and you blamed yourself for it of course now you are a monster you probably see it as a great stride forward getting rid of someone like that who may have caused you to actually feel something." Jill said.
"Well you are wrong I was only dreaming anything I said was just nonsense so I would stop reading into it." Wesker said.
"I knew it was impossible for someone like you too love anyone but yourself." Jill said.
"If only you knew." Wesker thought to himself.
