Run ... that was what permeated throughout my mind. I didn't know where to but something deep inside told me I'd be safe. The day washed over me as I tread through the forest.
Escaping the base was easy from speeding the camera's frame rate to jumping through the closing vehicle bay door. I knew the place was designed to escape. Spencer's choice was just in case the Simmons family decided to poke their heads into Umbrella's private affairs.
I was running as fast as I could. My sprint causedeadd the wind to roar in my ears. Fear rippling throughout my actions. What ifs playing on a constant loop?
What if Albert just wanted me dead for betraying him or what if he wanted to inject me with an incomplete Uroboros and use me as an experiment? I doubt he'd just let me off with a slap on the wrist and a kiss on the cheek.
I slowly came to a stop having reached my destination. Alistar's memorial was in shambles. Nature took back what was hers. I could have the maintenance crew come out and repair the statues; however, that would reveal my secret place to my workers. Ugh, I could easily come out here and trim the vines and rampant weeds but that wouldn't fix the statuary.
I had to use my powers to repair the statue of my daughter's angel. I was sure that my mutations were still unstable after the combat with Albert earlier. The pressure to fix the statuary was massive I could hear Surgei's voice mocking me. Telling me if I had just chosen him how my baby girl would still be alive.
I gripped my head and shouted in agony. Sergei's voice stayed either mocking or laughing maniacally. As the voices steadily got louder and louder. The sounds started to merge into this horrible ringing. I dropped to the ground and curled up with my hands gripping my head tighter.
My daughter... why did I fail so badly in keeping her safe? She didn't deserve to die at the hands of surgei. She didn't deserve to have the family that raised her taken by Umbrella. She doesn't deserve to have her final resting place be that hell hole where we were treated like mice.
I closed my eyes and sobbed. After about thirty minutes of the deafening ringing, I felt something warm wrap around me and pull me into an embrace.
"Quiet now, my dear little lotus," Albert said, "Is this the memorial you built for her, my dear?"
Upon hearing him call me his lotus I knew I wasn't in any danger; however, I didn't stop crying. My eyes wouldn't stop letting the salty tears spill from them. When I tried to speak my voice shook and cracked, "yes".
"It is time you let go my dearheart. Her death is on Sergei and although I never actually met her she was still my daughter. I will help you properly mourn." He spoke pulling me closer to his chest and taking off his sunglasses," you have her original files, I am guessing? Not the ones you presented to me."
I pulled out my PDA and logged into the database stored in White Queen. I sighed as I pulled up her original files and handed the pad to him. I tried to pull away but he held me tight.
On the screen was a young woman just over twenty-one. She had gorgeous long warm blonde hair that matched her father's and a womanly body similar to her mother's. Her eyes were a stormy grey from the imperfect bonding with the Angelis virus.
I heard Wesk choke back a single sob, "her personality was a lot like your's Albert, cold and stoic; however, once she cared about someone she'd guard or help them any way she could."
Albert stared at the pda reading her back story and how she was highly resistant to all of the progenitor-based viruses. How Sergei killed her for bringing me a new umf system that was locked from the red queen and all Umbrella officials.
"These files, she got them to you. Did she not? The system that runs the Phoenix Corps is the U.M.F. 014?" Albert asked adjusting his sunglasses and now looking down.
"Yes, the white queen ai as well. Alistar was a wiz with technology and was a hell of a shot." I was choking back my sobs again, "Chris helped me bury her."
(FLASHBACK)[ ️ trigger warning ️ blood]
"H..Y...HEY... WAKE UP!" I heard through the cold darkness.
"Ughhhh." I let out a long drawn-out moan.
"AGENT REDFIELD AGENT VALENTINE! WE HAVE AN ALIVE ONE!" A loud male voice said lifting my torso.
"Who are you? And why did you say my maiden name?" I asked blood dripping down my mouth and eyes closed.
"My name is Clive O'Brian I'm with an anti-bio weapon organization. What's your full name miss?"
"It is t..t..tab"
"TABITHA!" Jill shouted and I heard a gunpoint and click.
"Jill... and I guess that means Chris is here too then?" I asked tears falling down my cheeks.
Three people who I all care about today two want to kill me and the one I loved the most practically did.
"Open your eyes, T...! I want to see your eyes!" Chris demanded.
"As you wish little brother and I'm sorry about this Mr. O'Brian, I know you do not deserve this" I jumped out of his arms and grabbed Clive's knife.
"Don't move Tabitha!" Jill shouted turning off her guns safely.
I slowly opened my eyes revealing the deep blue and sliver viper eyes that they are, blood trickling down from the semi-fresh bullet wounds in my chest.
"Jill doesn't! look she has already been shot! Who did this? If you tell me Tabitha and I'll get you medical assistance." Mr. O'Brian said standing up unharmed.
I gritted my teeth and fell to my knees. My mouth moved to utter his name. Chris walked up close in annoyance. He was fuming.
"Clive asked nicely so speak up!" Chris shouted pointing his gun at me now.
In fear, I screamed, "ALBERT DID! Hi, I was in a mutated state from the virus I'm infected with. He didn't even believe me when I told him who I was. All he said was 'my wife died in Raccoon city! All he saw was a B.O.W. who needed to be put down. Nothing but a monster. that's all I am after all. I couldn't even save my daughter from Umbrella. Now all I have is gone they beat me."
Chris lowered his gun and yelled right at me, "what daughter? Who beat you? Why are your eyes like Wesker's? Is it due to a virus? Why didn't you contact me if you were in trouble?!"
I stared at Chris. His concern surprised me. I was suddenly fuming, "HOW COULD I CONTACT YOU IF I HAVE BEEN UMBRELLAS EXPERIMENT FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS! MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY WOULD I IF THE LAST THING YOU TOLD ME, YOUR BIG SISTER WAS THAT I WAS A MONSTER AND YOU NEVER WANTED TO SEE ME AGAIN!".
I strained my voice and started coughing blood flying over the floor in front of me. I started to fall backward but Chris raced forward and pulled me into his chest, "I just had to make sure it was you, T. I saw the news conference regarding who brought forth the vaccine and anti-virus and the UN had pardoned her. That person was you albeit they thought you we dead but since you were not things will be ok."
Crying I spilled everything of the past forty-eight hours, from Alistar my student, and my daughter being killed by Vladimir to wesker shooting me in the chest five times and the fact I knew I would be fine due to the Angelis virus healing me. that the wound was still rather fresh.
They left for awhile while I dash to my containment cell and quickly gathered my hard drive and data sticks for my plan against Spencer. Running outside I noticed Albert leaving the base.
"I'm going to find you, Wesk. Now that I know you're still alive." I said pulling out Alistar's frozen corpse from the pile of snow by the door holding her bridal style.
"We'll find him, T," Chris said, "she looks so much like her father. I'm sorry I never got the chance to meet you Alistar."
"Come on let's get her buried," I said holding back tears.
(End of flashback end of trigger warning)
"We buried her where you jumped out of the base. She will always be stuck to Umbrella, the least I can do is give our dearly departed daughter her Guardian angels." I said.
"I will have Arjuna replace the statuary in the morning. We have much to talk about with each other, but I think we should go to bed first." Albert said picking me up bridal style," and do not fret dear little lotus I will be by your side the entire time.
