The Mastermind

          Celeste looks at Kate, confused. She has to take another look at the screen to make sure her name is actually up there. Since when do they have five Survivors per Trial?  She say anything to Kate, as she starts walking towards the Main. Everybody's eyes are on her. That stupid silk dress she had hoped to get out of as soon as possible is making things so much worse. She only now realizes that her thong is still somewhere in Carlos's room. 

          When she arrives at the long corridor, she starts looking for her name, but after wandering around for five minutes she finally reaches a part of the building she has never been to. It's a heavy door that separates the building between Killers from Survivors. Celeste spots her name on a nearby door and wonders if this is where Wesker will meet her, maybe she's even meeting him on the Killer side? She looks down at her dress and straightens it out once more.

          Celeste walks through the door and a cold disappointment washes over her, there is no Wesker. The room is nothing like any of the one's she's seen before. The room is huge and instead of the usual single simulator, there are five facing each other in a circle. To her surprise there is just one nurse, who eyes Celeste's outfit, but doesn't say anything, a slight twitch in the corner of her lips says all there is to say. Celeste wishes she could just disappear into the ground. The nurse points at a simulator for Celeste to sit down. It's exactly the same as the one Celeste's used to, she gets wired up and the nurse takes down notes on her clipboard. Celeste tries to arrange the dress so that the long slit isn't revealing more than her leg. 

     ''He will be here shortly,'' the nurse informs Celeste. But just as she's about to ask who the nurse is referring to, a door that she hadn't noticed before opens and Wesker walks in. Celeste sits up, staring at him, the room suddenly feels so much smaller. The nurse raises her eyebrow at the monitor and adds some more notes to the clipboard. Wesker isn't wearing his usual leather coat, this time he's wearing a more military looking outfit, with a blue button up shirt, the sleeves are rolled up revealing his arms and fingerless black gloves. His hair is perfectly slicked back, not a strand out of place. 

     ''I see you like that dress, kitten,'' Wesker lowers his glasses and looks at her in such a way that Celeste feels like she's been put on display, but his eyes fascinate her. She was convinced that out of simulation he would look more human, more vulnerable even, but the fire in his eyes burn her even from across the room. She can feel her skin radiate with heat, the bright light in the room makes her feel like every imperfection of her body has been highlighted. She tries to say something, but decides it's better to be in an awkward silence than say something that she won't outlive no matter how many times she dies. 

          Wesker inserts some tokens in his simulator. Celeste came unprepared, the tokens she would usually use for Perks have stayed the same for quite a few weeks. She wonders who else will join them. Wesker talks to the nurse quietly and she replies with Yes, sir  to his instructions as she takes down some notes. While Wesker is busy talking to the nurse, Celeste watches Wesker cautiously, like one would watch a sleeping tiger. He's towering over the nurse, his voice is low and serious, she can't quite catch what they're talking about, but the few words they exchange are taken seriously by the nurse. His presence exudes authority even from across the room. 

          Once he's done talking with the nurse he looks over at Celeste and sits down, allowing the nurse to attach him to the simulator. He doesn't take his eyes off Celeste the whole time and she finds herself incapable of looking away. Celeste feels her heartrate rise and when the nurse shoots a quizzical look at the monitor a dangerous grin appears on Wesker's face. The tiger has awoken. 

     ''Are you ready to learn some new tricks, kitten?''
