Resident Evil Village: The Fifth Lord

12 [What Deal?]

[A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the long pause in the book but I am back to update it once again, yippy! And thank you all for the votes, reads and comments!]

I was running back to the factory still hearing a lot of things coming from the factory, since my hearing was better than anyone I could tell someone was in the factory and I knew it was Ethan firing his guns and maybe blowing up the experiments Karl made for his army against Miranda.

I was worried that things would turn to the worst when Ethan would fight Karl head on, just thinking about losing Karl makes my heart clench with fear and loneliness that I didn't want to feel again. I didn't want to get dragged back into the darkness that almost consumed me before I met Karl.

Coming to the bridge heading to the factory I crossed it quickly getting to the big metal gate trying to open it but it wouldn't budge for me which made me wonder what the hell was going on in the factory. With a quick thought I know there was a spot where I could get into the factory which was the way bottom of the basement of this huge place; changing into smoke once more I slipped down to the farthest door to the lower basement.

I opened the door leading to the darkest basement still hearing faint bangs here and there above me which was Ethan firing his guns at the experiments within the factory. Walking the cold and dark halls of the basement I couldn't help but notice I had to pause a few minutes a couple of times, feeling light headed as I leaned against a wall behind me as I took a few deep breathes to calm the dizziness in my head.

"So your Angelica Melody" a voice came out of nowhere in the darkness, which made me jump in surprise forming a fireball within my left palm lighting the room seeing a man standing there in the darkness.

I couldn't help but chuckle, shaking my head knowing who this man was in front of me it was hard not to know who he was.

"Well, well Chris Redfield; what do I owe the pleasure of you being down here?" I asked being a little sarcastic in my speaking.

"I think you know why I'm here" he said to me with a serious look.

I chuckled again for a moment, before he knew it I had him pinned down to the ground with my heel at his throat ready to pierce it with what his answer would be.

"If you're here to kill Karl you have another thing coming, Redfield" I hissed at him showing how serious I was.

"Relax, I know I have no chance to fight you by myself and I'm here to take down Miranda" he clarified to me which made me step off of him so he could stand up.

"That may be true but I know you want us all on death road" I said pacing in short steps still having my guard up.

He knew I was right and he wasn't about to cover that up either which was fine since I hated people trying to sugar coat things that were true; I hated liars for sure. The dizziness suddenly came back which made me stumble a bit when I caught myself next to a metal supporter holding the next floor above us; Chris seem to raise his brow to this.

"Having trouble with something?" he asked me with a hint of concern but still on his guard.

"None of your business" I said to him, pointing a finger at him once I stood up straight.

"If you excuse me I need to fix whatever Karl and Ethan are doing so we can focus on saving Rose" I said once again before Chris said anything to me.

Standing straight I started heading to the lift so it would take me up to the higher levels of the factory so I could fix whatever the boys were doing.

"Why would you want to save Rose?" he asked me confused to my words.

"Because she is my great granddaughter, hard to believe; but she is part of my real family that I will always protect from that birch Miranda" I said once I turned to face him again speaking clearly with my words.

That seem to surprise Chris a little bit but not much which made me wonder if he and his military buddies had any files on me or the others.

"And here I thought Alice was making up stories" he said to me which took me by surprise.

"You knew Alice?" I asked in confusion.

"In truth she trained me, she was the best in the whole organization" he said to me which made me relax a small bit.

I could help the small smile on my face as I looked down at the ground, knowing my daughter was strong and brave made me glad that she raised well by that nice couple I gave her too long ago.

"Let's make a deal" Chris spoke breaking me out of my thoughts.

"What deal?" I asked raising my brow to him.

"The deal is, you help us take down Miranda and if you do I will grant a request you want" Chris said to me as he crossed his arms together.

I thought for a moment thinking about this deal, I could wish whatever I want and I know what I was going to ask from this deal I didn't care if Chris liked it or not.

"Fine, if I help you; I want your word that myself and Karl leave this village with you and the others, I'm not taking no for an answer take it or leave it" I said to him with a serious tone and look as well making sure he knew I wasn't going to back down from this.

Chris sighed for a moment almost like he knew what I was going to ask of him but he knew that I was powerful enough to kill Miranda since I clashed with her plenty of times before he and Ethan came here.

"Fine, right now I'll take care of Ethan once he gets here; I need you to find out where the core is so we can blow this place up once we save Rose" Chris agreed to my request as he explained what he needed me to do.

I glanced up to the sounds of the factory above us still worried about what would happen if I left without seeing Karl first and I'm sure Chris could see it on my face because I felt his hand on my shoulder which made me look up at him.

"You can trust me" he said to me.

"But how do you know you can trust me?" I asked wanting to know his answer.

"Because you speak the truth that's going to be enough for now" he said to me.

I slowly nodded my head before I slowly turned into smoke to head to the village to find where the main core is, for Miranda's powers; it was about time that she felt what it was like to get screwed over when it comes to family.
