Raccoon City High School

May 1996

The gym had been pack full of residents of the town for the 1996 senior graduation,

"Folks, To start off I would like to thank the leaders the built Raccoon City to what it's become today-,"

Claire Redfield had stopped paying attention to the speech diverting her attention to S.T.A.R.S. Alphan team captain, Albert Wesker. Claire had stared at him admiring almost everything about him,

'The captain doesn't look half bad, I'm going to try and talk to him before college.'

Looking over it was Amanda Kefmen one of the schools best senior volleyball players,*No, He's mine. You don't deserve him, you will regret that sentence for the end of your life.*

Claire swapped her attention from Wesker to Amada pissing her off more along with the principal's unnecessary speech,"-Now we will begin with the diplomas for the students, Sebastian Acel, Gabriel Asteon-,"

As the students filed out of the seats Claire kept her eye seemingly never blinking on Amanda, and her desire to kill only spiked when Amanda tried to be a bit more attractive when she walked past Wesker.

Claire's expression changed instantly when she was on the stage from willing to kill Amanda right here and now to a happy and innocent young adult. Once at her seat again her death glare started again, growing her a concerned and worried stare that didn't follow her for too much longer since the ceremony was over and all the students left.

Once outside Claire was instantly grabbed into a hug from Chris, who was the only S.T.A.R.S member in her eye site which made Claire angry and upset. She wanted to keep Wesker safe from Amanda and to see him one more time.

Chris ended up dragging Claire away from the sea of students as the rest of the S.T.A.R.S members left the school getting caught up in the flood of students. Amanda made her attempted move on Wesker that failed, leaving Amanda pissed off and it was going to cost her more than an arm and a leg.

NIGHT TIME

"God I know, the least he could have done was say something. Asshole looked away from me like I was some trashy Dollar Store bag."

Amanda was removing the infinite amount of makeup she had on for graduating,"Yeah, good looking guy. Hey did you also see the way Redfield was staring at you? It looked like you were going to die from her glares."

Amanda let out a laugh that was in no way trying to be discrete,"Redfield? The bitch couldn't even lift 10 pounds, only good for her brains, nothing else."

The girl on the other end laughed a little,"Yeah, well I got to go chat later."

Amanda put the phone back on it's holder on the side of the desk and put all her attention on removing her makeup not noticing someone come in from her window. Claire walked right behind Amanda who became distracted with something on her desk of never endless makeup, grabbing a big chunk of Amanda's hair. Claire almost snapped her neck with how far she pulled it back,"Claire? What the hell?"

"Wesker's mine, you don't seem to understand that."

Claire lifted a knife to Amanda's throat and covered her mouth quickly and ran the knife fast and cleanly across. Somehow Amanda was still alive and Claire drove the knife to her stomach and stabbed her multiple times leaving her dead.

Taking a few steps back Claire's heart rate began to slow down a bit more,*It's ok, It's ok, It's ok. One less person getting in my way, got to go.*

Climbing out the window, Claire sprinted to the forest as Amanda's mother opened the door to see her daughter's bloody corpse that was still dripping blood. In no time cops flooded the house and Claire had made it to Chris house nearly half way across town and out of breath,*Wait shit Kelly was egging her on and I think was talking to her before she died. Only lives a couple of blocks away, Chris will be kept busy for a while.*

Leaving the house again Claire quietly ran to Kellys who was asleep in her room on the first floor. Taking a different knife Claire stabbed Kelly right in the heart killing the girl almost instantly, Claire stabbed her a few more times to make sure the girl was dead.

Leaving the house Claire simply walked back to Chris and upon her arrival for the second time that night she instantly changed into more pyjama clothing and cleaned the two knives and put them right back where they were before Claire killed the two girls.

After a few hours of sleep Chris came home exhausted but to the smell of coffee filling the house letting him know Claire had just woken up,

"Hey, Chris, long night I take?" Claire looked innocent and smiled, keeping her nice pesona up.

"Yeah,you could say that. Two people were murdered last night, Amanda and Kelly."

Claire's mouth dropped in shock from hearing the news,"Oh my god, who would do such a thing like that?"

"Don't know yet, but I think there were two killers running all the way across town with police at every corner. It's no easy task. Please stay inside today. I don't wanna lose you." Chris looked at Claire who was pretending to be shocked by the news of the teens deaths.

"Ok, I was planning on burning tests and homework today anyway."

Chri laughed a little,"Well, I'm gonna try and get some sleep, don't burn the house down please."

Claire smiled and hit Chris head lightly,"I won't."

Once Chris went upstairs Claire went straight to the loose floorboard that held the bloody outfit from last night among other things she didn't want Chris to know of. Going outside Claire went right to the fire pit and dumped the outfit in and some sticks with it and lit the fire that lit easily.

After a bit the fire died down leaving nothing but a pile of ash and the smell of burnt wood behind. Going to the bathroom Claire started up the shower and removed the now campfire smelling clothing and got into the hot shower. While washing her hair some darker red color came out,"Guess I wasn't as clean as I thought."

Leaving the bathroom Claire dressed in a more professional image with black as her main color, with little "detective" work Claire easily found Wesker's preferred color was black.

Going downstairs, the second her foot touched the hardwood the whole house had as flooring the phone went off,

"Hello, Claire Redfield speaking."

"Ok, your alive but did you hear what happened?"

"About Amanda and Kelly yeah. That's crazy."

"I know, your brother's gonna let you outside?"

"No, he might let me go out with you probably. I can ask him later."

"Ok, stay safe bitch."

"Fuck you to." Claire hung up and turned as the phone went off again.

"Hello, Claire Redfield speaking."

"Miss. Redfield-," Claire already knew who was on the other end of the phone and she smiled bigger than the cheshire cats iconic smile.

,"-Your brother did he at least make it home in one piece?"

"Uh, yeah he's asleep at the moment, did you need him for something?"

"No, he was working the most recent incident the longest I was making sure he went home safe."

"Is that all you needed?" Claire was excited and could barely hold it in much longer.

"No, that was all. Stay safe Miss. Redfield."

The other line went silent, and Claire put the phone back on its stand and almost yelled in excitement that Wesker had personally addressed her instead of multiple people at once.

Claire laid down on the living room floor replaying Weske's voice in her head.

After a few minutes of replaying his voice the doorbell rang making Claire pissed that someone deemed themselves more important than Wesker,

*I'll kill you whoever you are.*

At the door was a small business man,"Hello, miss I've come to you with a once in a lifetime opportunity,-"

The man didn't even state what his worthless creation was,"I'll pass thank you though."

Before Claire could close the door the man shoved his business card in her hands,"Tell you friends it could save them."

The card had the man's name and his address that was all Claire needed to know for her active night again. Claire went to the couch and began to read to pass the time and began replaying Wesker's voice in her head, not being able to focus on her book merely pretending to read it and flipping the page every now and then.

Hours passed by and Chris was already at work again and Claire had left the house with hair in a tight bun and older clothing that wouldn't be missed if it went missing. Arriving at the house the business man was alone, crawling through the window Claire snuck up on the man and stabbed him a few times leaving him dead on the floor,

"You are not more important, remember that in your next life."

"What the hell have you done?" Someone else was in the room looking over at the new voice; it was a bulkier younger man.

The man tried to get the knife from Claire but was stopped with the knife in his stomach that ruptured his intestines, losing more blood. Claire stepped away from the new guy and stabbed him in the neck leaving him for dead, going to the kitchen Claire cleaned off the knife making it look good as new and left the house to circle back to Chris.

June 1996

A few weeks after the business man's death the police finally found his rotting corpse,"What in the hell could have done this?"

Wesker turned to some of the other S.T.A.R.S members that were investigating the house with him,"Whoever it is they are getting their message through to everyone."

Joseph looked at the captain and back to the bodys,"I know you hate when we do this, but I think the businessman was the only intended death, the other guy was a silenced witness."

Wesker knelt down to the bodys getting a closer look,"I agree similar to the last 2 deaths."

"The second girl was more simple and less bloody unlike the first girl. I think the second girl was more of a second-hand witness, muscle guy would have been a key witness."

Turning the bodys over the businessman's abdominal region was in shreds and the muscle guy's intestine area was stabbed with dried blood around the area.

"Our killers got some medical knowledge," Chris said with some confidence.

Jill looked up at Chris who was completely distracted. "Or is really damn smart, if we don't find any foreign DNA here these deaths are gonna be harder to solve."

For a distance Claire was watching the S.T.A.R.S members being confused from the 2 more recent deaths,"I'm sorry, it's going to be a while before we can be together."
