Warnings: Child abuse and a bit of dehumanization
A Double Twisted Nightmare Chapter 23
November 20th, 2000 Somewhere in Europe
The plane arrives at a lavish villa, something out of fairytales.. if you can ignore the armed men around the place.
Once they land and they disembark, they are surrounded by troops. "A little much?" Chris asks, holding his son, as they are being escorted inside.
"No chances. I looked up your records. I know if you see opportunity, you will try to escape. So would your sister, you did raise her after all." Sergei said.
This made Chris and Claire, who was holding her daughter, wonder just how much Sergei knew about them and Spencer.
They are inside when suddenly, doctors come up to them. "We are ready for the children." one said, holding out his arms.
Both of them immediately hide their children from the doctors. "I suggest you give your children to them. Lord Spencer is not here at this time and he told me to ensure that the children are taking care of, both medically and are healthy." Sergei says with a warning.
"You mean giving them a shot of a virus? I don't think so." Claire said, with a growl.
"I don't know what you mean.. Sedate them." Sergei orders.
Some people sild needles into their necks, taking them off guard. "No!" they both shout as darkness clouds them and fall unconscious.
When Chris awakes he finds himself in a big bedroom, "Austin!" he shouts as he sits up.
He looks around a discovers an area where a one year old could lay down. He goes over to the crib and sees Austin wasn't there.
He goes over to the door, determined to leave the room to find Austin, but when he tried turning the handle, it would not move.
He tries harder and starts bashing the door. "You better stop Mr. Wesker." a voice comes from outside the room.
"Then give me back my son." Chris growls.
"He's not done yet with the doctors. You behave yourself or we will come in and sedate you again." came a warning.
Chris didn't want to wait, who knew what they were doing to Austin and Ashlyn?
But he knew his guards weren't kidding and didn't want to be sedated again. So he sits on the bed and watches the clock as it ticks slowly by.
After an hour, he hears the door unlock and turns to see his guards come in. "Come with us." one orders.
Hoping that they would take him to his son, he gets up and they leave the room. They take him to a room where a couple of men were waiting.
"Is this the man?" one of them dressed as a doctor asks.
"Yes." one of the guard said, pushing him foreword.
"Hey, what is this?" Chris asks as one of men comes to him.
"Your going to have an examination, before getting measurements." the doctor said as he points to a table that had a medical gown.
"Hell, no. You are not touching me." Chris said trying to back up, but the men stopped him.
"You will do as you are told or you will be sedated and it will be done that way." one of the men said.
"What about Austin? Ashlyn? Claire?" Chris then asks, trying to delay it. He knew it would be pointless to out right stop it.
"You'll see the children and your sister, once this is done. If it helps, Mrs. Wesker will be going through this as well." the doctor said.
Chris was not happy, but knew that they would sedate him, if he didn't cooperate. He goes over to the table and turns to them.
"Can you please leave?" he asked the armed men.
"We are under orders, to watch you. We will not leave." the leader of the group said.
Chris grits his teeth, humiliated, and starts disrobing, not wanting to give them an excuse to sedate him and then do who knows what to him.
He hears the snickers as he gets naked and puts on the gown. When he was ready the doctor, comes over to him.
As Chris was being examined, Claire was being examined. She was in a medical gown as her doctor takes her vitals and everything.
She was angry and humiliated, having stripped herself in front of her guards, the only good thing is that they were all female.
But that didn't stop their giggling once she was nude and quickly put the gown on.
She was doing this so that she could see her daughter and family again, so biting her tongue, she endures this.
Distracting herself, she thinks about earlier. After her sedation wore off, she panicked when she realized Ashlyn wasn't in the room with her. She tried to open the door to find her, but got threatened with sedation, if she didn't calm down.
Seeing no other choice, she sat down on the floor, back to the bed and placed her head on her knees. Eventually, the guards came in and took her here.
".. and we're done Mrs. Wesker." the doctor said after taking one last vial of blood.
Claire sighs in relief and gets up, but then another woman, who was not a guard, came over to her.
She was holding a measuring tape, used in tailoring.
Claire shies back, "What are you doing?" she asks.
She had seen the woman in the room but never gave much thought as to why she was there. "I'm going to take your measurements. Unless you prefer to be in the nude around here, you won't have clothes." she explained.
Claire glances over to her guards, and nods. She stays still as the measurements are taken. "Aren't homemade clothes going to take some time to make?" Claire asks the woman.
"Please, this is not the Victorian era. There are plenty of clothes already made for you, in this day and age. We just need to make sure they fit." she said.
Once she was done, Claire changes back into her clothes. "Come, we will take you to the children." the armed woman ordered.
She is then taken to a hall, where Chris reunites with her. They are relieved to see each other but were concerned about the children.
They are taken to a dining room, where food has been laid out, and see Sergei next to two people, holding their children.
Chris and Claire immediately go to their children. The armed group try to stop them, but Sergei waves them off and sends them away, leaving the two Ivan's to guard the room.
Chris and Claire take their respective child in their arms, they were sleeping. "What did you do to them?" Chris asks, trying to stay quiet.
"No need to be concerned. They did not like everything that went on in the lab." Sergei says, making them both angry, "When they were done, the doctors gave them a light sedative. Help them get some rest."
"We understand." Claire said, controlling her anger.
"Before you turn in, I request your company for dinner." Sergei said.
"I don't-" Chris tries to reject this but is interrupted.
"These two right here, they're nannies. The children will be taken of, when you have other things going on." Sergei gestures to the two beside him. There was a warning in his tone.
Claire and Chris look at each other, they realize Sergei won't let them walk out on this.
"Ok..." Claire says and they hand their children back to the nannies. "Don't worry, they'll be in bed by the time your done." they promise before leaving the room.
They watch as once more their children leave their sight, when they feel Sergei's hands on their backs. "Come, dinner is getting cold." Sergei said, pushing them to the table.
They bite their tongues and take their seats. They had no appetite, but did not want to anger Sergei.
Slowly, they fill their plates and eat. "I'm glad you two have manners. I was a bit concerned that some undesirable habits rubbed off on you, from those spoiled brats." Sergei said, as he eats.
They are confused at first, until they realize he was talking about Albert and Alex. "They have manners." Chris says.
"Perhaps it extends to those they like. Never mind that, about your stay here. You will be allowed to participate in the area's training part as well as the firearms. However, for the firearms, you will be guarded quite heavily, more so than you already are. You will be part of our scientific labs as security." Sergei said, surprising them.
"Lord Spencer says, you two need something to do, while here rather than be cooped up. I know from Katarina, that you two work in the kitchen, but we can't trust you two in there at this time." Sergei said.
".. Where is .. Mr. Spencer?" Claire asks respectively.
"He will be away until the 22nd. He wants to meet you, before you begin your duties here. You are still allowed to the training area, until then." Sergei said.
Silence.
Sergei reaches for a glass of vodka, "It won't be so bad here. Remember this will be your home." he said.
Chris and Claire look at him defiantly, "They will come for us." they both said.
Sergei smirks as he takes a sip, "I know, but if they want you safe, they will keep their distance." he said, lowering his glass.
The dinner goes on in uncomfortable silence.
Past
Nine ten year old boys and four ten year old girls were at the dinner table when Mr. Spencer speaks, "In a few days, you all will attend a private boarding school."
They all were surprised by the sudden announcement. "You will attend there for at least three years, then you will stationed with a family, that is with Umbrella, until you graduate from prestigious universities." Mr. Spencer finishes his talk.
"Yes, sir." they all answer him.
"Good. Remember, you are the future of Umbrella and the world. One day, you will make a new world and I will reign over it, as god." Mr. Spencer said.
Dinner finished and they were told that, as a treat, there would be no more classes until they arrive at the boarding school. Tomorrow, they would start packing.
Albert and Alex meet up in the back and talk. "What do you think of this Alex?" Albert asks her.
"Not sure. Mr. Spencer always has his best interests in mind. As we know, we are apart of it." she said.
"He's changing tactics. That much is obvious, but why does he want us to attend an actual school now?" Albert asks.
"Hmm.. Maybe, he wishes us to have interactions with lesser people, before we attend college? Forget I said that, the school we will be attending is most likely going to be under Umbrella's control. There should be.. people of equal rank there." Alex said.
"Then maybe there's more advance classes there. Ones that Mr. Spencer can't do here." Albert said.
"It's possible." Alex admits.
"But." she continues to speak, "now that I think about it. Since we are to go to universities, we need something to make ourselves note worthy."
"Being just homeschooled might not be enough." Albert said.
"That is another possibility." Alex said.
Just then, Hiro, followed by Derek and Marco, come up to them. "What are you two doing?" Hiro asks.
"Just talking." Albert said.
"About what? About how you will not make the cut?" Hiro asks with a sneer. Marco and Derek laugh behind him.
"Maybe you worried about yourself?" Alex asks him with a sneer of her own.
"Why you little-" Hiro raises his hand to hit her, when Albert steps in front of her.
"Looks like she's right." Albert said, with a smirk.
"What makes you say that?" Derek asks him.
"He is raising his hand, just because she said a few words." Albert said.
"Your still as arrogant as ever, Albert. I suggest you move, before I teach you a lesson as well." Hiro threaten to hit him too.
"Is that all your ever going to amount to, Hiro? Just being a bully?" Albert then asks.
"Grab him." Hiro then orders Derek and Marco to hold him. They do, but this takes both Alex and Albert by surprise. Hiro then hits him, repeatedly.
"Hiro! Stop!" Alex shouts, trying to push Marco away from Albert but he wasn't budging.
Marco raised one hand and smacked her, sending her to the ground.
"I won't stop, until he begs for forgiveness." Hiro said, still hitting Albert's face.
Albert's face was starting to hurt, but at hearing Hiro's words, resolves not to give in. 'He doesn't deserve forgiveness.'
It goes on for about six minutes, Hiro was still beating Albert as Marco and Derek hold him, but Albert would not say the words.
"Beg for mercy!" Hiro shouts at him as he beats him, but Albert remains silent.
Then a voice is heard, "Hiro! Marco! Derek!"
It was Mr. Spencer, Hiro immediately stops hitting Albert and Derek and Marco let him go, he falls to the ground.
Mr. Spencer comes up to them with butlers coming up behind them and Alex at his side. The three boys realize that, they had let Alex slip from their minds.
Alex and one butler go to Albert, where's the other three grab the boys. Mr. Spencer raises his hand and slaps all three of them, once.
"I have told you all this and you know this. If any punishments are to be administered in this house, they will be done by me! I can expect rough housing between you, but that," he said, pointing to Albert, who is unsteadily back on his feet, "is a punishment! If he had done something I would not like, you were to tell me. Then I would give him an appropriate punishment. What's worse, you involved Alex, who was clearly an innocent bystander in this! Since you three don't like to follow my rules, you won't get to relax until it is time to leave. You three are to clean the house, help in the garden, and do more work! But not before I'm finished with you! Take them to my office, I will cane you three myself!"
The three boys tried to protest but the butler's take them away. Mr. Spencer turns to the remaining butler, who was keeping Albert on his feet. "Treat Alex and Albert, I have more pressing matters to deal with." he orders before leaving for his office.
The butler takes them to a room and gives them first aid. "Thankfully, Master Hiro did not damage your face. You should make a full recovery in about week." he said, finishing with Albert.
Once the bandage was on, he turned to Alex and treated her before taking them outside to the garden. Once he left, Albert turned to look at Alex, but she wouldn't look at him.
"What's the matter?" he asks. Alex was behaving oddly.
".. I'm sorry." she finally mutters.
"For what? You are no match for three boys." he said, puzzled.
".. I still feel like I should've done more.. and I had to get Mr. Spencer involved." Alex said, she turns to look at him.
Neither Albert or Alex wanted Mr. Spencer involved with their disputes, but there was no else around that would help them or had the authority.
They both know, because they themselves have gotten into 'trouble' by Hiro and Felicia.
"We will soon be out of here. Then we won't need to be concerned about Mr. Spencer, but we will be on our own with our 'siblings'." Albert said.
Alex nods and they watch as the flowers close up for the day.
November 21st 2000, Hotel, Somewhere in Europe
Alex wakes up with a start, "Another dream.' she realizes. She gets up and puts her clothes on for the day, a white suit.
She leaves her temporary room and almost runs into Albert, who was in a black suit. "Albert?" she asks.
"Did you have a dream that showed me getting beaten by Hiro?" he asks.
Alex stills. "Yes, we then left for boarding school, a few days later." she tells him.
".. I hate to say this, but it would appear we need to keep Spencer a while longer." he said.
"Your right. These dreams need answers, he has them." Alex said, looking at the clock. It says 7:37am.
"We better leave now. We know he doesn't like people late for their appointments." she then says.
As they leave the room, and get into the car that would take them to where Spencer was.
They arrive at the location, oddly enough, they see Spencer by a table, alone.
Slowly, they approached, expecting to ambushed, but.. there was nothing. Their enhanced senses could not find another heartbeat that was even near Spencer. Eventually they get to the table. "Have a seat." Spencer gestures to the two chairs.
They remain standing, "We are not the same people you could control. We are the ones with the power." Albert said.
"Remember, I have your lovers and children." Spencer warns.
"Which brings us to the question, where are they?" Alex asks.
"That is something, I will not tell you. No matter what you threaten me with." Spencer said.
"Tell me." he continues, "Have you two been experiencing past memories as of late?"
"So, this does deal with project W." Albert said.
"I see you already told Albert, Alex. Yes, but the details will be discussed another time." Spencer said.
"No, tell us everything." Alex demands. She goes to a tree with her speed and grabs a stick insect, before returning to the table and crushing it.
However, Spencer did not seem the least bit imitated by it.
"I see you two are acting like children. Perhaps I did not enough discipline to you, when you were children." Spencer sighs in disappointment.
"You are wasting our time. Fine, we don't need the details about project W and we can find our spouses and children, on our own." Albert said, raising his fist, but Spencer does not move.
As he launched his fist to Spencer, it stopped before it could connect. 'What?' Albert looks on in confusion.
"Albert, what is wrong with you? If you won't finish him, then I will." Alex said, making a fist of her own.
The same thing happens, her fist stops in midair, before it touches Spencer. "What?!" Alex asked, alarmed.
Silence.
Spencer look at them, with a smirk, "Do I have your attention now?" he asks, in amusement.
Albert and Alex look at each other. They didn't want to admit it, but they were had. They can't kill him, for some reason.
"Now, would please take your seats? Then we can talked like civilized people." Spencer said, with a warning in his tone.
Reluctantly, they sit in the chairs. "Now about your family, they will be fine. Your lovers are going to be part of the security team, where they are at. As long as they behave themselves, they will not be punished. Your children will be monitored, for growth, mentally and physically." Spencer tells them.
"You didn't.. give them anything, that.. can hurt them?" Alex asks, concerned.
"Of course not, the children are far too young to get a shot of the progenitive virus. Especially since, your spouses are on the.. ahem, trash side of genetics." Spencer says.
"Watch yourself.. Mr. Spencer." Albert said, in a warning tone. Neither he or Alex, will have their spouses disrespected in front of them.
"What you saw in them is beyond me, but they did what I've tried to get you to do for years. Get you two to breed more of you. I'm quite excited to meet the ones that were able to tame you and my grandchildren." Spencer said.
"They are not your grandchildren." Alex says, getting angry.
"I raised you two, like you were my own. You are my children and your children, my grandchildren." Spencer states.
"Like you raised the others? Then had them die off?" Albert asks. He and Alex never liked the others, but it was Spencer's orders that had gotten them killed.
"They obviously, were not worthy. The virus, was made to make you all superior, but it was still a test, that you had to passed. We all know who survived in the end." he said.
"Now," he says, "Changing the subject, I want you two to do somethings for me. Here is a list, of high profile executives of Umbrella."
He slides some papers to them and they look through them. ".. You want us to kill them?" Alex asked, surprised.
"They know too much about Umbrella. I'm concerned that sooner or later, they will talk and I want them eliminated before they can." Spencer said.
Alex then sees on the papers as to why, "The Stairway to the Sun flower? These people, know where it is located?" she asks. She and Albert had been looking for traces as to where that flower is.
"Yes, but don't ask where it is. There is a reason I chose to leave that flower alone, for the time being." he said.
"Because Umbrella is under a microscope. You don't want anyone to know about it." Alex realizes and Spencer nods.
"Sergei has no idea, that you are having us to this." Albert said, suddenly.
"No. He knows I seek to get rid of the people who know about it, but does not know who I decided to use. He knows about the flower, but as no idea were it is. Obviously, he did not ask." Spencer said.
"Does he know about project W?" Alex asks and Albert grits his teeth at the thought Sergei knew more then they did about it.
"No. That is one secret, I have never told him and will not tell him. That is something that was, and that still is going on, before him. He is loyal, but has no business in knowing it and getting involved. I am the only left alive, who knows about the project." Spencer said.
"As I said before, I will tell you more details about it, another time. One last thing I ask of you, is that I want you two to make me like you." Spencer said, causing them both to freeze.
"You know since you both were small, that my goal is to be a god. To lead superior people into a new age, where there is peace and no war. You two have clearly exceeded what I'm trying to accomplish." Spencer finishes.
The Wesker siblings share a look and turn back to Spencer. ".. We will do what you ask." the both said.
"Excellent. We will meet again, to discuss some more things." Spencer said, as Albert and Alex get up.
"Remember," he calls, as they head over to their car, "You are to keep your word. If not, I can't grantee your lovers future and you won't see your family, until all the requirements here, are done."
"Understood." Albert said. He and Alex get in the car and they drive away.
"We can't let him become like us. That would ruin everything." Alex said to him.
"Agreed, we will do what he asks, but will find ways to delay turning him into a tyrant. We need to focus on our family. I think you can agree that they are being held somewhere in Europe." Albert said.
"Yes, the old man was never overly fond of other contentints. The only exception was Raccoon City." Alex said.
"Indeed. Our family is probably guarded by elite USS troops. We can't use the spy routine that they did on us, not to mention, we need to find a new home. I know someone, I helped him save face years ago. I never called in that favor. Now is the perfect time." Albert said.
"Who is it?" Alex asks.
"It's-" Albert starts to say.
November 22nd, 2000 Somewhere in Europe
Chris and Claire are in their rooms, getting ready to have dinner with Spencer. Sergei told them, they had to be presentable.
Claire was putting on a glittery red evening dress while Chris was putting on three piece suit, that was grey with a tie.
Once they were ready, they grab their children, the nannies following them, and are escorted to the dining hall. Spencer was already there at the table.
"Welcome, my son and my daughter." Spencer greets them gesturing widely at their arrival.
They both knew better, is was a show.
"Come, let me see you and my grandchildren." Spencer orders, motioning them to come closer.
They didn't want to, but knew who held all the power in this place. He was guarded at all corners of the room, that they are in. Slowly they approach Spencer, with their children.
"You must be Claire and this is Albert's daughter. Tell me, what is her name?" he asks, already knowing it.
"Her name is Ashlyn." Claire answers, humoring him.
"Let me hold her." Spencer asks, more like a demand, holding out his arms.
Claire, very reluctantly, puts Ashlyn in his arms. Spencer looks at her and she at him, before squirming. "She's a quiet one, but she'll grow up to be smart and beautiful, perhaps surpassing her father." Spencer said.
He gives Ashlyn back to Claire and turns to Chris and Austin. "Christopher, right? And this is Alex's son, pray tell, what is his name?" Spencer asks, knowing it.
"His name is Austin." Chris answers.
Spencer holds out his arms and Chris, very hesitantly, places his son in his arms. Spencer and Austin look at each other, before Austin starts crying. "He's a lively one, you and Alex have had your hands full of him, I'm sure. He will be handsome and smart, quite possibly overtaking his mother." Spencer said, giving Austin back to Chris.
A servant peeks his head into the room, "Forgive me for interrupting, but dinner is ready." he informs them.
"Very well." Spencer answers, before turning his attention to the guards, "You are dismissed."
One of them looks like they are going to protest, but Spencer gives him a deadly glare. All the armed men leave the room.
'What is this?' both Chris and Claire wonder why Spencer told them to leave.
"Let the children leave with they're nannies. We can talk without all the eyes and ears." Spencer said.
Claire and Chris give their children to their nannies, who then leave the room. The servants bring out the food and set the table, "Come, let us eat." Spencer said, going over to the table.
They get to their seats and start filling their plates. When they get to eating, Spencer speaks, "Yesterday, I met with Albert and Alex."
Both Chris and Claire jolt their heads up at hearing that. "They are aware that Umbrella has you but has no idea where you are." he tells them.
"In exchange for your safety, they are going to take care of a couple of chores for me. Only when it's all done, will I allow you to see them again." Spencer continues to say.
Chris and Claire knew he was meaning them in particular.
".. Why do you want us on security?" Chris asks him.
"I may not approve of your lineage, but you did marry my children and in return, gave them children. You have my respect in that, you won't be bored." Spencer said.
Both of them are angry, with how he talks about them. ".. Mr. Spencer, please do not bring up our father." Claire respectfully asks.
"I understand why, but trying to hide from it won't help and I mean both of your parents." Spencer points out, as they eat.
"Our mother did what any mother should do. She protected and provided us. We fail to see why you would think that wasn't enough." Claire said, straining to be polite.
"Your mother did provide for you, but not nearly enough. She apparently didn't have enough sense to make sure you both would get an education. I looked up your records Christopher, you dropped out of high school." Spencer said.
"I didn't have a choice." Chris says, trying to stay calm, "CPS was going to separate me and Claire, if I didn't get a full time job in the air force. We had no else, our old man heartlessly abandoned us, long before our mother died."
"True, but still, you had the tools to purse education, yet you chose not to." Spencer points out.
"I got my ged, but I'm not the type to stay still for too long." Chris said.
"So I noticed, and you, my dear. You play around with something as dangerous as a motorcycle?" Spencer asks Claire.
"Everyone has a hobby. I chose motorcycling, which Chris shares in." Claire said.
Spencer stares at them, "I think I understand why Albert and Alex took to you." he said, much to their confusion.
"Never mind, back to security, you will help keep things in check as well as watching experiments." Spencer said.
At the end makes the two of them freeze. They would fight against B.O.W's but they never saw how they are made. Their lovers told them, they wouldn't have to be concerned with it.
"Giving your faces, you never saw how it all is done. Albert and Alex has spoiled you a bit there. The world is not pretty, it's time you knew." Spencer said, as they continue to eat.
Chris and Claire wanted to protest that idea, but sees that it would do no good. "What about our children?" Chris asks.
"They will be with their nannies, of course. A lab is no place for those, who are to young to understand it. They will monitored for their progress, mentally and physically. Spencer says.
Hearing that made them angry, for their children were already in a lab.
"Though, I have heard you like to be in a kitchen." he then says, surprising them, "I wouldn't mind something from you."
'What is he up to?' they wonder, confused. Sergei told them, they wouldn't be allowed in the kitchen, because they couldn't trust them. Now, Spencer wants to make food for him?
Then again, it would be pointless to kill him right now. For that, would doom them and their children. They were just going to have to wait it out, until they are rescued.
"Very well." the both said, reluctantly. Spencer raises a glass, pleased.
Dinner ends with them going to bed.
Interesting events, right?
Don't forget to review! Let me know what you think.
