Chrisker One-Shots

Bleed

"How can I pretend that I don't see
What you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself
And turned away
I must be dreaming

We all live
We all die
That does not begin to justify you..."
Bleed (I Must be Dreaming) by Evanescence

"This way," Rebecca urged, running ahead of him.

"Rebecca," Chris yelled after her. "Slow down!"

Rebecca ignored him and raced on ahead, turning down a different hallway. Chris groaned in frustration, glancing back at the rest of the people on his team. At the moment all of them were busy battling the monsters that were swarming into the room. Chris wanted to stay and help them, but he knew that he had to go after Rebecca. Groaning once more, Chris raced after her. He was able to keep her in his sight most of the time until they reached the basement.

Treading silently through the dimly lit rooms of the basement, Chris searched the rooms for Rebecca. But it was like she had disappeared off the face of the earth. Clutching the gun in his hands, Chris turned down another hallway. Near the end of the hallway he could hear what sounded like frantic breathing and the scuffling of feet. Hurrying forwards, Chris quickly made his way to the only room at the end of the hallway. Pressing his back against the wall by the open door, Chris peered into the room.

In the room were two people, Rebecca and Wesker. Wesker held Rebecca's smaller body in the air with one hand, while the petite brunette kicked and clawed at the blonde. Her attempts to free herself from the blonde didn't seem to have an effect on the older man at all. Chris, having had enough of watching this, moved to stop Wesker from strangling Rebecca to death but he froze in the doorway. Wesker opened his mouth and bit down on the side of Rebecca's neck. Rebecca screamed as the blonde sank his teeth into her neck and blood seeped out from under his lips. Chris could see the slight clenching of Wesker's jaw, before the blonde ripped open Rebecca's throat. Her bloodcurdling scream ended abruptly having turned into a gurgle. Wesker sneered in distaste at the woman in his hand before dropping her to the ground.

Brown eyes stared at the blonde man before him in shock. Chris could still hear the bloodcurdling scream that had left Rebecca's lips just seconds ago ringing in his ears. The man that he had admired and respected, his captain, stood before him like he hadn't just killed Rebecca Chambers. It was like his captain expected him to pretend that he hadn't just seen him kill someone.

Chris glanced at the still body with blood pooling around it. The bright red of the blood glinted in the dim bluish lighting of the room as it slowly spread along the cracks in the floor away from Rebecca's dead body. It took everything in Chris to tear his eyes away from the sight of her bleeding body, but that didn't stop the sight of her torn open throat from being imprinted in his mind.

Turning his brown eyes over to his captain, he knew the man had heard his sharp intake of breathe when he had shredded Rebecca's throat open before dropping her to the floor. Although he couldn't see his captain's eyes, he knew that steely gray-blue gaze was trained on him just by the shiver that went down his spine. With Wesker facing him, Chris could see the red that stained the blonde's face.

Standing in the doorway to that dimly lit room, Chris felt himself freeze inside as he turned his face away from the sight of the dead woman. Chris just couldn't comprehend what was right before him. No matter how much he knew what he saw was the truth, he couldn't force himself to believe any of it. His mind pleaded for this to be a dream. He had to be dreaming.

Forcing himself to face reality for now at least, Chris narrowed his eyes on the man that had meant everything to him. He knew that everyone lived and died, but that didn't give the blond the right to decide who got to live and who didn't. Chris knew logically that he had to kill the blonde. Nothing justified the killing of innocent people.
