Sand In An Hourglass

"I want to feel the warmth of your hugs, but I know I can't, I want your love, but I can't, I want to die, and you will kill me,"

Chapter Eight

Ally stood next to Wesker, her usual smile was turned into a scowl at a new arrival. It was a African looking woman wearing hardly anything at all. Wesker had recruited her for the uroboros project, "My name is Excella," she smiled, rolling her eyes over the man.

"Albert Wesker,"

"Ally Ashford,"

"Nice to meet you Albert, as for you... you come from a highly prestigious family... think you can keep that title going?"

Ally huffed, she really didn't like the woman at that moment in time, "Yes as a matter of fact I can and will,"

"So what is going on with the uroboros project?" the woman asked Wesker, ignoring the girl.

"Come," he commanded, waving Excella over to the office area.

Ally followed, "You dear heart, wait out here while I talk with our new partner," no more was said as the two entered the room and left the girl behind.

Ally felt her heart sink, she was already being replaced by some bimbo who put herself out to be a hooker or something... She kicked the nearest trashcan and went upstairs to her bedroom.

Ally found the small comforts of life were sometimes enough for anyone, especially when that involved chocolate and sky watching. She watched as the Africa clouds rolled by carelessly. Ally wondered what it would be like to have the same cares as that... to lull by everyone without so much as a single glance to there small lives...

Ally shook her head slowly, Wesker hadn't payed much attention to her since that... Excella woman, came into the picture. She stood up and went to check on the provisions and such.

As she approached the room where the items were held she heard the two talking to each other. Peeking into the room she saw Excella administer the vaccine Wesker needed to live, and began talking to him about some one to sit at the top in his new world order with him. Ally's face scrunched up in frustration and she left the two alone again.

Explosions were every were, people were screaming, fire ate everything it touched, and Ally was amongst it all taking on Chris and his new partner, whom she learned was named Sheva, another African girl.
Ally rolled to the side and fired two rounds at Chris hoping to hurt him or better yet kill him. Sheva pushed him out of the way, and both managed to avoid getting shot. Ally growled and ran back towards them, clothes-lining them and knocking them to the ground with ease.

Chris shot up from the ground and fired a few rounds back at the young woman, who retaliated by dodging and firing her own rounds at them. How she wished she'd learned to use her powers... but this was a fact, if she used it now, she'd probably go insane from the power, thus she held back.

Ally went up towards Sheva who was getting up from the ground and lunged forward, ready to shove her fist through the older woman's chest. But as she lunged, a bullet from Chris caught her in the shoulder and threw her off balance. She missed Sheva, but just barely.

She felt herself becoming more agitated, "Bet you regret not killing me as a child, huh Redfield!?" Ally snarled.

"Every child is born innocent Ally, it's how you live your life that decides your fate!" Chris spat back.

Ally felt the 'oh so familiar' burn behind her eyes. Leaping towards the two again, she felt herself thrown to the side by the woman. Ally panted and stood up shakily. She felt a single tear fall from her face... no, it was the rain... thank god it was the rain... she couldn't cry anymore.

"The reason I am what I am, is because I promised to stick by his side till the very end!" Ally smirked.

"Then break that promise Ally! You can still come with us and be on the good side!" Chris responded.

"Who's to say, what we're doing isn't a great undertaking in history? Who's to say we are not the saviors of this small unforgiving world, and you two as the enemies of the new world? The bad guys so to speak?"

"Your just as insane as he is!"

"No dear Chris... not insane... she took in a shaky breath, Just in love," She then bolted forward and trusted a punch into Chris's torso flinging him back several feet, before doing the same to Sheva. With a smile and a wave she leaped over a nearby wall and disappeared from sight.

Once over the wall and away from Chris and Sheva, Ally took a resting spot near an oil tank holder. Sitting atop it's armored lid, she watched her wounds ex spell any foreign object in her wounds before healing up completely. She hissed as a small sting finally faded away from where she was shot.

"Another day, another almost getting my butt killed in action moment..." she chuckled to herself. Hopefully she could find another way to kill them. She learned the hard way running head first into battle with them wasn't the wisest of choices.

Ally popped her neck and stood up before heading to the facility where Wesker and Ecella were... she only hoped she wouldn't see anything she didn't want to see.

Ally smiled widely and happily standing next to Wesker, while her arms were folded over her chest with pride. She smiled and edged herself closer to Wesker as she watched the woman wither in front of her on the monitor. Ecella was dying, and Wesker had been the one to administer the injection of uroboros into her system to do it. Ally remembered one thing, she had asked Wesker why he had done it, and his reply had been, "Because I already have you,"

Now this may not sound like a lot, but to Ally this practically meant the world. Wesker didn't give comments like that at all, no matter whom the person was or said they were.

Ally watched the woman squirm again, "Does it hurt love? Aww, I'm sorry, but it'll all be over soon..."

"You have one final job to do for me Excella, rid me of this nuisance. Now I bid you all farewell,"

Ally smiled as she watched the woman turn into an unspeakable creature and followed Wesker to the safe hold of the complex they were currently in. Resting in the main area, Ally thought back to everything they'd done together, everything that had happened, and everything she had learned about him. She still felt sorry for the man, for the fact he was made. Ally felt her face flush red as she got up, seeing the man had already removed his sunglasses and lay them next to him for a few moments rest.

As Ally took in a deep breath she smiled, 'I'll let him know I care,' and wrapped her arms around his neck before leaning in shyly and kissing him on the lips.

Wesker took this as a once in a lifetime opportunity and returned the kiss quickly, he just might manage to get that virus yet! He gave a chuckle, "What's with the sudden amount of attention?"

"I... I want you to know I love you Albert,"

'Great... another love confession,' he thought.

"Which is why I want you to have my virus... I know I'll probably get thrown away after you get it, or be used like the others were, or even killed... but I don't care anymore..." a small smile crossed her face, "I want you to know at least one person in this world loves you for you, and I'll prove it,"

Capturing his lips in another kiss she smiled.

Wesker on the other hand was slightly shocked. No one had ever put it that way before. For this he would TRY to be gentle with her... he pulled away and smiled, before picking her up and taking her to his room.
