Chapter two : Lightness

I let out a sigh and put my head in my hands. I fell so hard my head and my back hurt like hell. Then I said the stupidest thing ever. " I know this is stupid but… I thought you're not real."

Leon lowered his gun and threw me a friendly smile, you know the kinda smile he put on in the games whenever he accompanies a woman, yeah… that kinda smile. " It's actually hard to explain but… I am real and so is everyone that you saw in the video game. Everything is based on true events."

I blinked like an idiot a few times, still not believing what I'm hearing. I mean this man might be crazy and I might'd lost my mind as well. So it lasted a few seconds to sink in, then I looked up at Leon's blue eyes. " Well what the hell is Wesker doing back then? I thought Sheva and Chris killed him. "I asked in panic.

"Ah… Let's say we thought so but once they got back and sent a team out to see if Wesker was truly dead- " Leon's brow creased. " His body was missing, we don't know why all of a sudden he came out of nowhere." Then he looked at me in the eye, looking stern. " But whatever his goal is… it isn't good at all. "

It was like a dream… no no no more like a nightmare. Everything was true and I was dragged into this unintentionally. I remembered Uroboros, the Progenitor virus Wesker had made. What if he wanted to use me as one of his test subjects? I was petrified, didn't know what to do, thinking of being a test subject like Excella made me shiver as I struggled to look at least strong in front of Leon.

With the sounds of footsteps coming from my back, I instantly wiped my tears and turned to see a muscular tall man, standing in a kinda special army outfit. " Leon, is she okay?" He glanced between me and Leon.

"Yes She is, Chris." Leon nodded. " But we need to figure out why he wants her and when he might try to come and attack again. "

"But what does he want from me?" I said louder than I intended to, I couldn't hide my trembling voice anymore.

Leon looked at me with kindness. " He could want anything from you-" then he looked at Chris, continuing," We just need to figure it out before it's too late."

Chris walked up to me, " Well we better get you to headquarters right away, you will be safe there." He assured me.

For just a moment I thought maybe I should call my parents and let them know but then again I couldn't let them worry over something they can do nothing about. Once again I looked between Chris and Leon, I knew I was at the good hands. They were the heroes after all, right?

I felt Leon's hand on my shoulder, " I promise if you come with us… nothing will happen to you."

I smiled, " Thank you… Leon… Chris. " and followed them outside the building.

As we entered the streets, we headed to the BMW X6 that was parked right in front of the library. We walked to the car when I felt a vibration in my pocked, I took out my phone just to see it was my friend, Josh, calling.

"Hello Josh?"

"Sandra!" She yelled back on the other side, "You okay? Can't believe what I've heard on the news today, there is this crazy guy in Wesker's outfit in London, he is walking in the streets and injecting people, I mean can you believe it?!"

I stopped dead where I was, " Josh! Whatever you do just don't leave the dorms." I glanced at Chris and Leon worriedly. " And-and if you saw that man just don't get close to him, okay? He is infecting people with the virus, just like what happened in Resident Evil, and He is The Albert Wesker!" I explained.

It was silence for a few seconds, I couldn't even hear her breaths, " Josh… Josh you still there?"

And then like an explosion, I heard her laughs from the other side of the line. " Sandra… Are you bloody kidding me?" I opened my mouth but was caught by her once again, " Resident Evil is not real goddamit! You always talk about this game to get to Leon, I mean girl… you're such a miserable fangirl over this fictional character. "

I felt my cheeks getting hot, and I knew I looked exactly like cherry. Her voice was so loud, I bet even Leon heard what she'd said. So I, getting even more frustrated, stole my eyes from the man and yelled back. " Haha Josh it's not even close to funny! And I gotta tell you this, Resident Evil and everything that had happened is pure reality.

Then silence again but when Josh spoke apparently this time she was angry, " What in the bloody hell are you talkin' about gal? "

I let a deep breath. " Well Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield are standing right in front of me and … Wesker just attacked me a few minutes ago. He wanted to kill me and… he is after me. "

"Sandra you've got this great great imagination. I just love it how you want all these were real but gotta tell you bud no… it's a big fat of video game, and it stays like that, oh and 'bout that guy I mentioned earlier, cosplays gal, crazy fan of dear ol' Wesker… messing with people, yeah… gotta go now, talk to ya when you're better, babye." And before I could even reply, she hung the phone.

"Why don't you believe me…" I whispered and put the phone in my pocket.

"You're ready?" Leon asked and opened the passenger's door for me, I nodded and entered the car. I leaned my head against the dark window, looking outside. Why me? And a single tear dropped on my cheek.

Chris who was sitting next to the driver, looked at me in the mirror, " Sandra, Why are you crying?"

I wiped my tears and sniffed a bit, " As much as I hate to admit it but I'm scared… never thought that all this turn to reality someday and that I become so important that Wesker would want to kill me. "

Leon started the car and as the engine ran, he glanced over his shoulder, smiling. " It's gonna be alright, we help you. "

If I wanted to be honest with me I have to say Leon's voice was so much assuring that I felt relief. So I smiled back at the reflex of his friendly eyes in the mirror and then looked outside the car.

We still hadn't gone that far when I saw a black Audi parked behind our dorms and there was a man sitting behind the wheels. It was Wesker. He sent shiver down my spine, I glanced at Chris and Leon to see if they had seen him too or not but they seemed not. Then I looked at the car and its driver once again, as he threw me a smile. My heart started to beat, we had passed the car and they had noticed nothing. I should tell them but… why I didn't? something stopped me but what?

I was so drawn into a pool of my various thoughts that soon I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was dark outside and we were somewhere outside of the city. I asked Chris what the time was. It was 12:30 AM. Sure I had slept for a few hours. Finally we stopped in front of a big old cabin. I was still scared looking at the creepy wooden cabin. Its walls were cracked, crooked and ready to fall apart and its windows were boarded. Chris was the first one who left the car.

"Here we are." Leon said while opening his seat belt.

I was stuck on my chair, not even flinching. "Is this building the headquarters you were talking about?"

"Yes, it is. Actually it's a place to hide, Wesker can't find you here. "

I nodded and as Leon, being a gentleman, once again opened the door for me, I got out. "Thanks." I walked behind him to the old house.

When we entered the building, except the old dusty purplish sofa and a small refrigerator in the corner of the supposed living room, nothing was inside. I wasn't sure whose the house was before it became the said headquarters. It was so cold and humid and the unpleasant smell of dirt and wet wooden tickled my nose.

Leon went to basement to find some dry wood to fire the fireplace and I stood in a corner, my arms around me in an attempt to stop my body from shivering. Be it the fear or the cold, even I didn't know the reason.

"I know I'll become so stubborn but I really gotta know-" I asked Chris. " Why Wesker is after me?"

Chris let a frustrated sigh, rubbing his temper, "Okay fine, Wesker wants you because of your blood. You already have the first virus in your blood veins, the T-Virus. He thinks if you can handle the T-Virus then you can take Uroboros as well. Most likely if he did inject you with the Uroboros Virus, you might die or it would take into your blood and you would become just like him. "

I was silence when Chris was talking, trying to digest what he'd said. Thinking how it was even possible. I opened my mouth, my mind swirling, I shook my head. " Wh-when did it happen?"

Chris sat on the dirty sofa, nodding. " We have no idea-" He looked up at me. " Maybe in the past."

I looked at my hands, my blood veins. I didn't even know what to think, I just stared blankly at Chris, unable to even ask another question.

Maybe when my stomach growled, somehow saved me from thinking myself to crazy. For the first time Chris smiled, knowing I might be really hungry, not that I wasn't, he opened the refrigerator, picking up some sausage.
