*I suppose many of you might not read this, I don't know how important author's notes are. But I do want to ask that nobody, please NOBODY, copy any parts of this book and use it in their own stories. Not my character, not my writing, not anything. Please for the love of god. Part of the four years it has taken to upload this is not just because it took a long time to write and then edit, and even then the editing still isn't complete all the way, but it is also because I am that scared of my work being stolen. Whether it is fanfiction or not, I consider this a full-length novel, and many of you will read this and hopefully realize this took a long goddamn time to write and a lot of my heart and soul went onto this paper-or, computer screen. I do not take stealing lightly, I would never do it to another author, be it someone who writes fanfiction, or Stephen King himself. Art is art and we do not copy in this community if we respect the people behind the work. 

My heart's pounding a little bit here as I type this. Holy shit I am actually really nervous...

So, I started a fanfiction in the winter of 2018 for Resident Evil 2. I didn't see many stories that interested me at the time and I crazily thought, "What the hell. I'll write one myself for shits and giggles. It can't be that bad." Well rereading it with friends four years later has proven to me it's not just bad: it's atrociously awful. Thankfully I realized this though only months after finishing the second novel of the original series, "The Secret" that summer so many years ago.

This book has taken me a LONG, LONG, LONG, time to finish. And I apologize to any who have waited patiently, because four years is a hell of a long wait just to read a rewrite of a novel. I was rewriting it, but then Remake 2 came out, and come on guys... That butt chin just did things for me (I am only halfway kidding). But if you like graphic horror and of course, all things Leon Kennedy, I really hope if you stick through with this you will believe it was worth the wait. And I would so greatly appreciate comments and upvotes if you like this book, it lets me know as the author that I am doing something right!

So, just a forewarning: this book is long, this book is dark and contains many moments of serious topics including depression, mentions of sexual assault and even attempts of sexual assault, and suicide. I heavily, heavily discourage anybody from reading this if they believe it might be too much, but I always welcome you and thank you for giving this book a try. 

And one last note (apologies for this running so long, it's almost over) while this book does have a subplot of romance, and this series will eventually lead to a relationship as it is a Leonx kind of story. This is a very long, slow burn because of how this story plays out. There are sexual undertones in this, but there is no outright graphic sex scene in this story. It just wouldn't fit anyways with what happens in Remake 2, and it doesn't fit for my telling of it either, or at least that's how I personally feel. So with that in mind, I apologize to anyone looking for a quick oneshot, but it's definitely not in this one!
