Village Of Shadows - Resident Evil 8 [Ethan Winters x Reader]

Chapter 12

The two of you stood there in silent shock, you weren't sure how to approach him after what you were told by Chris. Meanwhile, Ethan however was confused but most of all in denial considering he saw with this how two eyes that you had been shot to death by your own friend Chris Redfield.

So how were you standing here now? What the hell is happening?

"(Y/N)? H-How? How are you here? I...." Ethan began.
"I know what happened, Ethan. Chris told me everything." You replied.
"Chris? He's here? Where?" Ethan asked.
"Not sure anymore we got separated when Moreau attacked and dragged me elsewhere." You explained.

Still, in utter disbelief Ethan slowly approached you by slowly raising his hand, once he was close enough he placed his hand on your cheek cupping it. A shaken breath escaped his lips when your skin turned out to be warm like he had always remembered. He did slightly flinch though when you touched his hand and nuzzled to the palm of his hand.

"Is it really you?" Ethan asked nearly sobbing.
"It is, my dear." You whispered.
"How can I believe this? Tell me something only my wife would know." Ethan stated.
"We have yet to speak about what happened all those years ago...not only that but there's the fact I spoke about retiring from the BSAA early so we could raise Rose together." You explained.

Ethan laughed as he let his tears roll down his cheeks, bringing you into his arms he hugged you tightly and sobbed into your shoulder. Hearing him in such pain made you cry as well, gripping each other tightly the two of you held each other for quite a while before pulling away and pressing your foreheads together.

"I'm never letting you out of my sights...at least not for a while," Ethan mutters.
"I don't mind, in fact, I want to spend lots more time with you after we save our daughter." You sighed.
"So you know what happened?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah, let's get going our daughter is waiting for us to bring her home." You replied.

And with that you both set off to place the third flask in, you then explained how a man named Heisenberg had the last one so in order to get it and somehow get Rose back you'd have to travel to Heisenberg's stronghold and receive it but you informed him that it's possible that the area was crawling with Lycan's so they should probably stock up on ammo of any kind of gun they found around here.

Agreeing to this you and Ethan both went back to where The Duke was at, he greeted you both and seemed happy to see you two together again. You on the other hand were very annoyed that this idiot didn't tell you anything else but didn't question him since you knew you would never get any answers, though that did rise suspicion considering with your experience someone who did that had something darker to hide.

'I have a feeling there's a Fith Lord or something...and this idiot might just be that one but I could be wrong.' You thought.

Metal signs were all over the place where they never used to be, Heisenberg must've had them up before you two either met up together or got in this part of the village. Either way, it was clear that he was toying with the two of them and honestly, you didn't like it one bit cursing the man under your breath you knew the both of you didn't have a choice but to walk right in.

So using the key that was now completely built together you and Ethan cautiously walked inside with your guns drawn looking at every corner of the places you walked through. Before proceeding further you told Ethan to take point to watch your back as you quickly cooked up some pipe bombs to use for quick kills against the Lycans.

"Why are you making those?" Ethan asked.
"If this is the actual stronghold then this place will be crawling with Lycans soon, sure it might attract more but we can make a quick getting away once we deal with the shit heads here. Might even save us more bullets considering we don't know what lies ahead...my gut tells me it's something even worse." You explained.
"Alright I trust you, usually your gut feeling is correct so I won't question it further," Ethan replied.
