Helena stepped out of the cab, it was late and she didn't know where she was, she didn't care. The stress of saying goodbye to Deborah was staggering. She knew that she did the right thing, but when it was time to do it she fell to pieces. She was a little girl all over again and she hated it despised herself for her weakness. She hugged herself as she walked down the unknown avenue, fighting against the chilly night air.
She had nothing left, She lived for her work and her sister, she had neither anymore.
Helena paused as she felt something cold hit her cheek.
It began to rain steadily.
Helena smiled sadly "Perfect." she muttered
A sick oily voicee
Deborah loved the rain, but she's gone, you survived. Left her to rot, ALONE!
"No!" She shouted to herself " I didn't want to, I had no choice."
Could've broken her out, could've saved her.
Helena shook her head "No they would've killed her before I got to her."
She was your family, your blood. She prayed every night for a sister who would never come. At least not until it was too late.
"Stop! Stop it, please! I loved her, she was my sister!"
Apparently it takes more than being related to you for you to care enough to help someone.
Helena gritted her teeth and grabbed what she could of her short cropped hair.
The anguish, the torment, the fear! More of it than you can IMAGINE! The depth of a crying soul left to erode in the depth of personal hell while you, did, Nothing."The voice said with sick glee before laughing maniacally.
The voices words reverberated through her skull as she screamed in misery, the noise was building clawing at her insides, she fell onto her knees under the immense weight of guilt.
Tears began to stream down her face, mixing into the pooling water beneath her feet.
Helena trudged sullenly through the rain, with no direction , or destination. She just followed her feet for what felt like hours.
She was tired distraught and cold, but that wasn't what made her feet move faster. It was the gnawing sensation of fear that kept her moving.
About 50 feet away on a rooftop, a lone figure stood a watched. one side of Its lip curved upwards in a vicious smirk.
Leon paced back and forth frantically, It had been hours since anyone had heard from Helena and it was beginning to worry him.
"Leon you need to calm down,your starting to worry us." Jill said looking at her friend with a worried stare. "He's usually so calm.."
Chris got up from his seat," She's right Leon, you're getting hysterical c'mon sit down and calm down." he rested his hand on Leon's shoulder.
Leon jerked away violently "Don't touch me! You guys don't care, you don't understand. She's everything, everything! All I am or care about is her."
Chris and Jill looked at Leon with wide eyes. They were witnessing the most collected and calm person they knew, fall apart in front of their eyes. The man who had stared down death countless times and seen more horrors than any man needs to, fold and crumble was astonishing to say the least. Especially over a girl he had been involved with for less than a week. Now don't get them wrong they loved Helena they thought she was a great girl, but she wasn't part of the group. and that was odd for them. Oddest yet was that leon was the most closed off of them all yet involved her. And there was no way they'd let Helena destroy Leon's life, He came first.
Leon stared at both of them with a withering glare, he would have none of it. He was going to get her back no matter the cost.
he spun on his heel and stormed towards the door only to be stopped by the massive bear paw that was Chris Redfields hand.
"Leon we care about Helena too, thats why were going to help you. But we need to be smart about this, calm down and lets talk-"
TALK!? You want to talk Chris! What would you do if Jill was missing! Oh wait she did go missing!"
Chris narrowed his gaze at Leon "Careful Leon." He growled.
Leon took a step towards Chris not backing down despite the much larger mans threat.
"Unlike you Im not going to wait, I know exactly what you did Redfield! How many years did you sit on your ass and do NOTHING!"
Chris roared and swung a vicious right hook at Leon face. Leon ducked under his attack and punched Chris square in the kidney, followed by kicking his legs out from underneath him kicking him the head hard enough to knock him out.
The room was silent, Leon panted and looked into Jills eyes, which were by all means surprised as hell.
"don't you dare try to stop or you'll end up like him." He said simply before walking out the door.
Chris opened his eyes and groaned. he was laying down on the couch with his head on Jill's lap.
"Ugh my head."
Jill dabbed at his head with a cool cloth. "Leon left a pretty nice gash on your head honey."
"Hmm."
"and, he kicked you'r ass."
"Hey now cmon, I-"
Jill just looked at him with a cocked eyebrow.
"Fine." he huffed as he nestled his head into her lap, the paused, "Wait, how the fuck did you get me on the couch?"
Jill sighed "It wasn't easy…fatass"
"What!? Im getting fat?" he objected horrified
Jill just looked at him incredulously "Now who in the right fucking mind would call YOU fat."
"So you were kidding?"
"Well.."
Chris just shook his head "We don't have time for this, we gotta find Leon."
Jill nodded "Well no shit, lets go."
They walked towards the door, both of them were surprised when the door opened. Both of them were fucking floored when they saw who it was.
