Hotshot: A very very short chapter and I'm sorry for that. I've just been a little bit burnt out on RE But I promise I will keep writing RE stories, even if the posts are very slow, same with my "The Hive" story. I hope you guys understand and understand that I will be posting other chapters for other stories on here. Now, hope you enjoy this short chapter!
Liz(Guest): I just found your stories and these series are just freaking awesome! Pls continue and keep up the good work. I can't wait to see more. Can we get a chapter of Claire thinking about their new addition to the family how Becky will mean more responsibility and I would love to see Becky and Claire interact.
AN: I'm glad you liked this series! As for a Claire centric chapter and her feelings and thoughts about Becky...yeah, I think I can do that.
Instinct: Redemption
Chapter 5
When I woke up again, It was in the afternoon and I was in bed alone. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, looking over to Becky's bed. It was empty and, noting that there was no one in the bathroom, concluding that the two had woke up before me and had gone to probably get some food. I stood, grabbed some fresh clothes and walked into the bathroom before taking a shower.
Once I was done and dressed, I walked out of the room and walked down the hall, hands stuffed in my pockets. I made it to the mess hall and looked around before spotting the others, which was at at the far end of the room, in a secluded corner.
I walked over to them and sat down next to Claire while Kmart and playing patty cake with Becky and Chris was poking his food. I felt Claire slipping her hand in mine before holding it under the table as she ate with her free hand.
"Claire, I need to ask you something." I stated and she looked at me after taking the last bite of her food, giving me her full attention. "Where did they take you?"
"I'm not sure. All I know is that we crashed near a destroyed city and I heard someone saying something about the hive?" She furrowed her brows. "That was before we got away- Alice?"
My body had gone rigid, my face becoming blank. The words I had always dreaded to hear again echoing within my mind as the memories I had long since pushed in the back of my mind came bursting to the front. "I need to go talk to Wesker."
I stood, taking my hand out of her hold before turning and quickly walking out of the room and began my trek to the office.
"Alice- wait!" I heard Claire call from behind me but I kept walking. I got a few more steps in before I was grabbed and pulled into what looked like an empty closet of some sort, my back against a wall. A hand came up and touched my cheek, thumb stroking my cheekbone and I unconsciously leaned into the touch.
"Now, talk to me." She ordered and I looked at her.
"That's...that's where this all began." I finally told her. "Where everyone died, where the virus got out into the city. I should have known he would've went there. No one would ever think to look at the beginning because we all thought that no one would go back there."
I took a deep breath, before pulling myself away from her. "I need to talk to Wesker about this- come up with a plan or something. I'll come find you when I'm done."
"Alice, he's busy at this moment." She told me. "Tell him tomorrow."
"But-"
"I know you want this to be over as soon as possible, but you need to have one day to relax. I can see how exhausted you are." She reached up and wrapped her arms around my neck. "You can't really help much when you're exhausted like this."
"I hate it when you make sense." I finally huffed, making her smile.
"Deep down, you love it." She hummed before kissing me and then leading me out and down the hall.
"Where are we heading?" I questioned.
"You are going to take a nice, warm bath. Then, I'll go get Becky and Kmart and we will have some official family bonding time."
"Chris isn't invited?" I asked with a smirk.
"Eh, he's been kinda up in the clouds so...no. Now," She pushed me into the bedroom. "Do as I say."
"Yes ma'am." I grinned, making her roll her eyes.
