No Way Out

          Before Celeste even has a chance to agree or disagree, Wesker is away and she's left trembling. She feels tears building up behind her eyes, but before she allows herself to break down she looks around and makes her way around to the other side of the building, the opposite direction of where Wesker went. She hears someone running behind her and she hugs the wall, standing still, trying to see if she's in trouble already, but she realizes that she cannot feel the pressure in her chest apart from the constant tightness that is just the usual feeling of stress. 

     ''Is that your attempt at hiding? '' She hears a deep, but hearty laugh and faces Jake as he comes into her view from around the corner. Blood rushes to her cheeks from relief and slight embarrassment. As Jake and Celeste make their way to the next generator they hear Ada scream in the distance. She doesn't seem to be hooked yet so Celeste starts working on the gen quickly while Jake listens out for a few more seconds before joining her.

     ''How the hell did you escape Wesker? I saw you from the other balcony. ''

     ''He told me he is saving me for last.. I think he knows I'm the weak link.''  Celeste feels more annoyed at having to say that out loud than relieved that she hasn't felt any real pain yet.

     ''Well, my first meeting with Wesker ended in about 2 minutes, so he must have something in mind for you. Just.. hide when you feel him near.''

          Celeste looks at Jake through the machine and almost mixes up the wires again, but she manages to catch herself. She has heard from multiple people that Wesker doesn't mess around, he gets the job done. Case in point, Ada's screams echo through the corridors. Jake runs off towards the screams, but the telling thunder that marks Ada losing the Trial echoes through the building. The next sequence of actions happens so quickly that Celeste can't even tell what came first. Jake gets hooked, another gen gets finished, then the gen Celeste was working on clicks on with a mocking light in an already bright room and then... she feels Wesker making his way towards her. 

          She panics, as she always does. The options are run, crouch, sneak, ..anything at all, but the tightness in her chest overwhelms her and she freezes on the spot like some stupid extinct animal that never stood a chance against the apex predator. And then she feels her own predator right behind her.  Celeste is still frozen as she hears that chuckle that makes her want to have ran away already, it makes her wish she had been able to do what she has seen so many others do. At this very point she has made a decision to get better so that the next time she faces Wesker she can escape him, or at least run. Celeste turns around to face her hunter and not surprisingly Wesker is wearing that smirk on his face that shows how little he believes in Celeste's ability to escape. She hears another thunder in the distance to mark Jake's death... where the hell is Kate? 

     ''You have so much to still learn, kitten. ''

          In one step he's got Celeste against a bookshelf, but this time he picks her up over his shoulder and in a true Wesker fashion laughs at her desperate attempts to break free. Celeste hears another generator get repaired not too far and that means that Kate gets to escape. Wesker drops Celeste on the floor with such a force that all the air gets knocked out of her lungs. 

     ''Don't move. ''

          Celeste sees him run off into the building, probably to intercept Kate at the gate. She tries to get up, but something is keeping her down. She guesses it's part of the simulation, she could try and regain some energy, but somehow hanging out right under a hook doesn't feel right. Celeste uses her arms to pull her body forward. It's a slow process, but she manages to get to the gen where her Trial started at the same time as she hears a scream just around the corner. Wesker must have caught Kate right at the gate. She doesn't hear Kate getting hooked, but she does hear Wesker approaching her.

     ''I told you to not move. ''

          A pair of boots appear in front of her face, they're covered in what she assumes is blood of her friends. As she looks up, Wesker squats down and flips her over. He looks at her, amused, with that fake pity look on his face as he shakes his head. 

     ''Tsk tsk. I wanted to have fun with you. You barely gave me a chase and now you're trying to do what.. hide? '' He scoffs. 

          Wesker stands up and picks Celeste up over his shoulder again and walks toward the exit. She can't see well, but, the fact that he is holding her thigh right under the leather skirt in a way that his hand is almost cupping her ass instead of her thigh and she doesn't  mind it one bit, makes her wonder what the fuck is wrong with her. She doesn't have much time to contemplate though because she feels that familiar sharp pain piercing her flesh all over again. She tries not to scream, she doesn't want to give Wesker the satisfaction, but it's impossible not to. Wesker stands right in front of her, looking up, amused by the sight of her blood. He runs a finger through the trail of her blood, he inspects it and then looks back at her face that is now getting covered in tears as she sobs quietly. 

     ''I'm going to teach you to love the thrill of the chase. You will be my best little survivor. ''

     ''Why are you doing this? '' she manages to exclaim through pain. 

          Another chuckle makes her feel even more like a puppet in Wesker's show. This angers her and she attempts to hold onto the hook that feels less metallic than she imagined it would. It almost feels like it's made of bone and muscle. She has seen Jake unhook himself once, so she gathers all her energy and tries to pull herself up and off the hook. Wesker watches her curiously, with that half amused, half fake pitying, condescending look on his face. Celeste exclaims in pain as she realizes that whatever the hell the hook is made out of is alive and it has been consuming her blood this whole time, and she realizes that  she feels too weak to even lift her arms. Wesker cups her face with his gloved hand, the leather feels cold and harsh,  and forces Celeste to face him. He's not smiling anymore.

    ''You will have to earn your right to ask me questions. Until next time, Celeste.''

          Wesker walks off to find Kate. Celeste tenses up, waiting for the Entity to consume her and send her back through to reality, the anticipation of it keeps her from wondering how did Wesker know her name.  The death doesn't feel horrible, but it's not pleasant. Celeste feels like she's falling, getting stretched and compacted all at the same time. It's like the world's worst rollercoaster combined with a washing machine.
