RESIDENT EVIL 5: ROAD OF VENGEANCE

SOMETHING THERE

Damien looked at her and didn't know how to answer her question. "I don't know what you mean"
"What do you remember before You met Wesker?"
Damien scoffed lightly and shook his head. "He's always been there for me"
"Do you believe that?"
"What are you Implying Alyssa?"
Alyssa was shocked he said her name.
"Yeah. I know your name but who are you?"
She quickly went through her bag looking for something that might jolt his memory. He waited patiently praying Irving wouldn't walk in.
She finds it and approaches him slowly.
She decides to hand him the picture but hesitates.
"You won't hurt me will you?"
"If we're going to work together on defeating Wesker-"
"No...I mean hurt me"
Alyssa started to back away once he approached her. He looked at her and saw how he terrified her. He usually enjoyed being feared but he felt off when he scared her.
He took the picture out of her hand and look it over.
It was her and Masaki.
He figured that's why she feared him.
"So it's masaki"
"It's you"
"You said we were married?"
"Yes"
Damien considered listening to her. "When did we get married?"
He allowed himself to be vulnerable for now as long as the device on his chest didn't detect unease.
"September 1998...Raccoon City"
He handed the photo back and looked down at her.
She was shaking slightly.
"So what if I am Jp Masaki, the same Government that destroyed Raccoon City won't allow me to walk free"
"I can help you...Jp I'll help you"
He hated that damn name.
"Can you see where I am because all I see is you"
"Changing the subject...you don't like the name Jp"
"No"
"What about Bralin?"
Damien turned to her as he knew that was his name before. If there was a before. She existed so there is something about her.
He looked at the wound her inflicted upon her and for once felt sad.
"I'm so sorry about this"
He whispered.
She pulled her collar over the scar and shrugged.
"It's okay"
He was incredibly close to her but didn't want to frighten her.
"Are you scared?"
He asked.
"Yes"
He backed her to the table. She wanted to hold him. He could sense that she misses Jp Masaki. Her husband. The father of their daughter. He love. Her light.
"You miss me?"
"I miss Jp"
"Jp is dead"
"I don't believe that"
"Believe it"
"Grace doesn't think so either"
He was confused.
"Grace?"
"Gracie Alyssa Masaki...our daughter"
He was then conflicted once more.
"You don't want to kill me but why?"
He didn't share this with Wesker but maybe she knew the truth.
"Because your the only person that knows who Jp was"
Alyssa then took his hand slowly and her breathing hitched.
"How old is Grace?"
"Eleven years old"
She said as a matter fact.
He looked into her eyes.
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
"No no...it's just that I miss you so much"
Tears fell from her eyes as he pulled her close.
"I'm a killer"
"No Your not...Damien is"
"I am Damien"
She shook her head.
"Jp is dead...when the time comes you'll stand by me"
"He's not dead"
"Then what are you afraid of?"
He pressed on.
"Losing you"
"You care about me?"
"I had your baby didn't I?"
She countered.
"If Jp is me...then prove it"
He countered back.
She held his hand tight and her breathing quickened. He was staring her down as she looked away.
"Fuck it"
She pressed her lips against his tightly as he fought the urge to get intimate with her.
The device on his chest glowed red and he sent her back to the wall with the force a little rough as she gasped in fright.
Damien started to shudder as He was pulled back into another vision.
