Chapter 18: Epilogue
It was early evening when Seth landed the chopper and disembarked with Lydia, Cashmere and Shayla. They entered their current safe house; the site of the Umbrella Facility where Jason and Lisa had fought Trevor a year ago. Once again, Umbrella did not think of checking their own locations for safe houses. Believing them to be secure from any outside threat; that hubris worked greatly to the group's advantage. When the four of them entered they found two members of the group waiting for them. Both were twenty-four; one was female with long wavy brown hair, blue eyes and deeply tanned skin, she was rather slender and dressed in a pair of black denim mini shorts; a light pink bra top, sandals and the strings of a pink thong showed above the shorts waistband. The second figure was male with medium length brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin and a muscular build, he wore black jeans a white T-shirt; white socks and black sneakers. It was Katrina and Dylan Henderson.
"Hey you guys." Katrina called as they came in. "So…what happened?"
Her usual cheerfulness was replaced with seriousness and concern as she looked at them and their expressions. She also noticed Shayla but didn't ask about her, knowing she'd likely get an explanation soon. Before anything could be said however a young boy, about three years old ran into the room. He was rather small with brown hair and eyes and was dressed in a cute Winnie the Pooh one piece suit with a hood. It was Dylan and Katrina's son Jayden Henderson.
"Mommy!" He cried as he ran over to her; his face jubilant.
She picked him up, smiling and kissed his forehead. The others smiled; to them this was a return to normality.
That night Cashmere sat alone in her room. She had changed into her usual sleepwear, a simple ankle length purple nightgown. After all the others had returned they had all explained what had happened and what they had found, Lydia had introduced Shayla to the group. Now they were going to wait until tomorrow before plotting their next move, give the trio a chance to rest.
'Not that rest will come easy for me.' She thought sadly.
It was true, she had just woken up from a nightmare, she felt like she would be forever haunted by her rape. Just then there was a knock at the door.
"C-come in." She said, feeling strangely nervous.
The door opened and a twenty-three year old Asian man with a toned build, medium length black hair and black eyes stepped in; he was dressed in simple pyjamas, black pants and a grey top; it was David Sanders. The one person in the group Cashmere felt truly close too, also the one who shared her sense of humour.
"I heard you screaming." He explained simply as he sat down on the bed next to her.
She scowled. "So, you here to start showering me with pity."
To her surprise he shook his head. "No, I'm here to see if I can help you."
That surprised her so much she momentarily forgot how to reply.
Finally however she recovered and sighed.
"But why?"
David sighed. "I've thought about it for a long time, but I've never been able to tell you Cashmere. Just…can't seem to find the right words."
"Then why not just show me what you're talking about."
David sighed again and then, to her surprise, leaned in and kissed her. Surprising herself even more, she didn't pull away, instead she pulled him closer. She knew then, she had someone she could count on, someone who cared for her and to her; that made all the difference in the world.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
