If only they knew

Summary: 8 Years ago, on a vacation to Raccoon City, Leon S. Kennedy met Claire Redfield and her brother Chris. Little did he know that, he and Claire would soon meet again, under the worst circumstances.

Loosely Based Around Resident Evil 2.

Now after the event's can life ever be the same?

I don't own anything.

Previously:"Chris where's Jill?!?" He ran to his friend and forced his eyes open.

"She's….dead…." That was when he gave up and collapsed.

Back At The Hospital.

"Claire!" Tears streamed down Sherry's cheeks. Claire was growling, fighting against the straps that held her to the bed.

Leon tried to hold her head still, to calm her, but the virus had almost achieved it goal. She had tried several times to bite Leon's hands, and she had been fighting so hard that every time she tried to escape her nails left long scratches in the metal.

"What's wrong with her?" Sherry ran to Rebecca.

Rebecca spoke as she typed into her computer. "The virus found a way to use the antibiotics to their advantage, it used them to make itself stronger." Fear etched into her face she looked up, and time stood still. Claire had used her new brute strength to break the ties on her arms and Leon was none the wiser.

"Leon!!!" Rebecca screamed. Claire pinned him to the wall and lunged at the nearest thing to her, his arm.

"Leon! Fight back! You have to!" Rebecca hid Sherry under the desk. Closing his eyes, Leon forcefully punched her, and pushed her back onto the table. Grabbing the rope, he secured one of her hands to the metal frame. Clawing at his eyes, her breathing heavy, he couldn't control her.

Rebecca ran behind Claire and pulled the rope tight around her neck tying It into the frame, Claire's struggles became weaker and as Leon tied her other hand down and resumed his position holding her head still, a distraught Chris and a tired Barry smashed through the door.

Taking one look at his sister made Chris go red with anger, he was close to tears, seeing her look like one of Wesker's mutant minions, forced him to punch the wall in anger.

Grabbing the vial from Barry's shaking hands Rebecca injected it forcefully into Claire's neck, after a second or so Claire fell limp, the heart rate monitor, which had been beeping wildly, was now slowly returning to a normal pace.

Leon sighed deeply, relaxing against the wall. "So… is she gonna be alright?" He looked at the flashing numbers on the screen.

"Yep, after a few days we'll do some more tests and if they come back clear then she'll be able to go home." Rebecca looked around the room. "Hey. Where's Jill?"

Chris looked up, the pure hatred in his eyes plainly visible in the early morning light.

"She is….dead.." He whispered walking out the door. Leon, Sherry and Rebecca exchanged worried glances.

"Dead?" Sherry whimpered.

Barry sighed and nodded. Removing his hat, he spoke a silent prayer that was recited if any S.T.A.R.S. member was lost in the field.

"He just needs some time to calm and reflect on things." Barry took a seat next to some prescription's and took a sip from the bottle of gin that was located in his pocket.

"Leon go and take him to the relative's room, speaking to people in the same situation might help him."

"That's your answer to everything…" Claire muttered opening her eyes.

The group jumped at the sound of her shrill voice.

"Wait, if their back an I can talk that means? I'm gonna be okay!" She laughed, bouncing on the bed clapping her hands.

The group kept their grave stares, and Claire surveying the room, smiled.

"Barry! Nice to see you again." Barry simply nodded and returned to finishing his book.

Claire was mad now. "Who's dead?!" She rolled her eyes.

Chris stepped into the room. And looked at his sister. Hugging her tight he whispered In her ear "Jill didn't make it."

Claire's eyes widened and filled with tears, "Oh my god Jill… I can't believe it!" She hugged Chris tighter and burrowed into his chest, just like when they were children and Claire was scared of something.

"You haven't done that in a while.." He smiled reminiscing of how Claire's still in that 'I'm not scared of anything' phase since she was 16.

"Well desperate times called for desperate measures." She laughed. Dabbing her eyes she looked at the group of people gathered around her.

"I have to go, I'm planning to take up a new role of protecting the president's daughter in a couple of months. Need to go and train up in the firing range." After saying his goodbyes and hugging the mentally drained Claire and Chris he stepped out of the hospital and headed for the truck.

Two months later

Claire and Sherry stood at the airport. Leon had received a worrying phone call this morning saying that the president's daughter Ashley Graham had been kidnapped.

They were saying their goodbyes as Leon boarded his plane,

"Good luck!" Claire handed him a little key ring, it had a Chibi character on it that slightly resembled her with the words Keep on Smilin' written underneath. He laughed and thanked her before hugging Sherry and telling her to be good. Then he turned his back and walked into the plane taking a seat, he prepared for a smooth ride ahead.

Funny how fate had other plans wasn't it?

Yeah quite a short chapter this one but the next one should hopefully make up for it ^_^ hope you enjoyed.
