Tormented Little Angel

-Giving up-

XV

The mutated version of Trinity nudged Phoenix's scaled arm before standing tall again, looking over them all. It was amazing, she seemed to be able to recognize them all, not just the other B.O.W's. Raphael, who had been watching with a mixture of awe and horror, made the mistake to walk forwards.

"Amazing...she still has her past intelligence and some recollection of her memories..."

Instantly, she snapped back to him, pupils returning to slits as she hissed angrily at him. Clearly, her anger and hatred towards Raphael couldn't be forgotten through mutation of the viruses. He stiffened, stopping with wide eyes as fear replaced everything. It whipped round quickly and ran at him with a roar. He ran backwards, trying to get away before spinning back with gun aimed. He shot at her but the bullets simply bounced off her scaled chest and head.

Turning on its side, its tail whipped out and wrapped round his legs before yanking him down hard. Raphael fell with a cry, smacking his head hard on the ground making him see black spots before the tail lifted him off the ground, holding him upside down in front of it. It sniffed him like it had with the others and roared in his face making him whimper in fear.

"Please....don't...I beg of you!"

Its claw hand grabbed his throat and crushed it with ease, not even giving him a chance to scream before it threw him aside, roaring again, clawing at the ground with its feet. Now they were faced with the dilemma of dealing with the mutated Trinity.

"What do we do?" asked Carlos, "bullets don't seem to work on her."

"We can't kill her!" Phoenix hissed angrily at him.

Leon didn't say anything but was clearly considering how to kill it. All of them agreed that all they could do was kill her. Chris' hands curled into fists before walking over to Wesker who was still silent, his amber eyes on the virus creature.

"Is there a way to turn her back?"

Wesker looked sideways at him, surprised he would actually talk to him, before looking back at it as it looked at him, seemingly thinking to itself...another thing it possessed, more intellect than the other B.O.W's.

"...now she has mutated...there is nothing we can do."

Chris' fist connected with Wesker's jaw and for once actually sent the man stumbling. Both men seemed shocked at the punch while the creature hissed angrily for a moment, claws clicking again. Chris snapped from his shock first.

"Don't give me that bullshit!! She bloody loved you, I don't know how she could love such a heartless bastard like you, but she did!" his words shocked them all, even Wesker, "and here you are giving up on her already!! You really are a cold, heartless monster!"

The clicking off claws drew their attention and they all looked to see the B.O.W walking over to Wesker. It stopped beside him, nudging him with its head before looking him in his eyes with its own. Something inside him broke and he slowly raised his hand. Her slit pupils narrowed at his hand before it rest lightly on her head. Its pupils dilated once again as he slowly stroked her scaled head, eyes closed as it nuzzled against his hand like a pet loving the attention...like Trinity had done before.

"Trinity......I'm so sorry," he whispered quietly, closing his eyes, not caring if it did suddenly turn violent and kill him, he already felt dead.

The scales were slowly turning soft under his hand, the cold scales turning warm and he opened his eyes as Claire gasped, tears in her eyes. The final scales receded into pale skin, her body naked as she fell from her feet. Wesker caught her deftly, wrapping his trench coat round her body when her eyes opened. She blinked slowly, the red and black still there but something was different.

"I can see again..." she whispered, her voice soft as a normal hand slowly reached up and touched his cheek, "thanks...for not giving up...." before her eyes closed.

He held her hand, kissing the back of it gently before wrapping the coat round her tighter and standing, carrying her bridal style.

"Time to leave," he stated, unable to keep a small smile from his face when he looked down at the peaceful Trinity.

The underground facility was slowly falling apart, the self-destruct code initiated already. The group ran to the lift before being taken up to the sunlight and not a second too soon. Once they stepped out into the light, the entrance behind them collapsed into itself leaving nothing behind. Phoenix sighed tiredly, all of them feeling the after effects of all the fighting and stress.

"Let's head back," she announced while Leon slipped an arm round her waist, he had gotten very clingy when she had had her memories returned.

That's when they noticed Wesker already vanished. Chris looked round wildly for them but Wesker and Trinity were nowhere to be seen.

"Damnit!" he hit the ground, "we lost her again!"

Jill put a hand on his arm to calm him, "I know Chris...I know."

Beep....Beep....Beep...

'Wow.....they even have annoying beepers in Hell,' Trinity thought pleasantly.

Beep....Beep....Beep...

'Wait...that's not a beeper!'

Slowly, consciousness returned to Trinity and her eyes slowly opened. It wasn't a dream, she could see again! But why was she alive? It felt like she had died after returning back to normal. Looking down at herself, she dreaded to think if she was partly mutated but no, she was completely human looking. The doors to the side opened and she was greeted with a sight for sore eyes. William and Wesker walked in. They paused at seeing her awake before rushing over.

"Are you okay Trinity? Do you hurt anywhere?" asked William worriedly.

She smiled and took the oxygen mask off, "I feel like...I have a hangover..."

William smiled in relief, "thank goodness, that's just the side effect of the serum."

She nodded slowly, not wanting to move her head too much, "what happened?"

Both men looked at each other before Wesker spoke, "Do you remember anything before and after you mutated?"

She closed her eyes in thought before opening them, "I remember....pain...from the dog B.O.W...then.....it felt like I was off in a far off place....in darkness unable to see or touch anything.....I kept feeling so angry at Raphael...about everything that happened to me," she blinked then looked at Wesker, "then I could sense you...Phoenix and the others too...and I heard you," Wesker stiffened slightly, "next thing I knew I could see you before blacking out....I thought it was just a dream and I'd died."

William smiled and smoothed her hair down, "you're still here, I'm afraid to say not Hell or Heaven," he chuckled.

For a moment she wasn't sure if to be happy about being alive...or be sad that she had to go on another day. Settling for the former, she smiled slightly but it was forced.

"So...how horrible did I look, mutated and all that?"

Wesker was silent, probably not wanting to answer while William looked at her guiltily.

"We...knew you were unstable from the start, but we didn't think it would get this out of hand," William held her hand tightly, "unlike Phoenix, who has the same strain of virus as you, because only her arm mutated, she won't fully mutate...the mutated cells would be pulled to those in her arm and simply break down...but you will fully mutate...you were lucky to change back without fault."

Wesker finally spoke, "the scales on Phoenix's arm," she glanced at him with a slight nod, "you looked like a lizard with a human shaped body...tail...claws...pointed face and scales...almost Jurassic."

Trinity grimaced, she really sounded like a monster, "and what...did I do?"

Wesker saw no reason to sugar coat things, "you crushed Raphael's throat, snapped one of the dog's throats and crushed one of the dog's head."

"Oh god...." Trinity held her head but not in pain.

"Don't worry too much," William smoothed her hair down, "you had remarkable control, if not I doubt you and the others would be alive."

Trinity nodded slightly and he left, Wesker taking her brother's seat. There was silence between the two for a while before something nagged at Trinity.

"What happened to the others?"

Wesker leant back slightly and for a moment she feared something terrible had happened, "they are fine, probably back at Kennedy's office eating pizza and watching a film."
At this she laughed which lightened the tension of the room.

"We should do something like that."
He looked at her as if she had finally lost all traces of sanity, "maybe..."

Conversation turned lighter but the thought of what had happened and could happen still preyed on her mind. Something seemed to click in Wesker's mind as he looked down at her.

"Think you are up to visiting an old friend then go to Africa?"

Trinity stared blankly at him for a moment....

"What?!?!"
