Return (A Resident Evil Piers Nivans Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

Jill's P.O.V. 

It's been about an hour after my talk with Piers. 

I sat uncomfortably on the plane. 

He's alive. 

But he doesn't want anyone to know. 

I'm on my way to China to meet with Claire, and a fellow former S.T.A.R.S member, Rebecca.

I kept thinking about Piers. 

I don't know what to say about him.  I rubbed my face with my hands. It's stressing me out.

I looked out the window. I'm still another two hours away from China. The clouds are soothing the way they looked calm and soft, I wonder if clouds ever-

My phone rang and cut off my thoughts. 

I answered.

"Jill! He's gone! He ran away!" Claire's yell startled me.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Claire. Calm down." I tried to sooth her. "Piers left?" I asked a little shocked. 

So then what do I do? Call my boyfriend and betray my friend? Or never explain it to Chris, and let Piers be?

"Jill, you don't get it. The doctors said Piers wasn't in a stable state, they were making him medication. He'll get C-virus spikes." Claire said sounding in distress. "If he goes too long without care, his arm will mutate slowly back to what it was!" 

I didn't know what it looked like in the first place, but I understood what she meant. It was the C-virus.

He could recreate this whole China incident. 

"Where did he go?" I asked, suddenly sharing her stress. "He couldn't have gone far in an hour. Send a search team or something." I told her. 

"No one knows where he went. We searched the building, and we're starting to look around. Jill, if he spikes before we find him, he could-" She rambled, until I cut her off. 

"I know Claire.... He could lose control of himself....... and the city." i mumbled. "I'm still a long trip away. Keep searching, Claire." 

She stayed quiet for a while. "Alright...... Jill........ should we call Chris?" She asked. 

"I don't know....... not now." I said. 

Piers and I were becoming close friends when he.... well, sort of..... died.

When Chris went missing, I searched in some areas, but I was steal healing from all the tests they took on me because of the past years, with Wesker kidnapping me and the T-virus from Nemesis.

Once I healed, there were reports of bioterrorism in a city, Rancho Cucamonga. It was basically Raccoon City again. Same initials too. R.C.

Piers, Parker, and I were leading a couple teams during that. That's when they found reports of Chris being seen. Piers took over, and now, I'm out of Rancho, and on my way to look for Piers, and Chris knows nothing.

My hair was fading back to my normal brown hair, and I'm glad it is. I don't like to wake up and remember all that terror. 

"Keep looking for Piers...." I said. "I'll see you soon" 

"OK... bye, Jill." She said and hung up. 

What's happening isn't alright with me. Chris needs to know. 

I need to talk to Chris. 

But I don't want to explain the part that Piers disappeared.

I groaned softly to myself, and tried to relax.

*************

Claire's P.O.V. 

I bit my lip, stressing myself. 

If Piers does spike, there could be a whole incident. 

Rebecca was next to me. 

"He'll notice if he spikes, he'll come back." She said, and I wanted to accept her words. I wanted to believe he'll be fine. 

That'll we'll all be fine.

I walked down the hall with Rebecca and with my phone in my hand and wondering if I should call someone else. Then Rebecca spoke my mind. 

"Call Sherry, or Leon. They might know how to help." Rebecca said. 

I looked at her, with a nod. "Sherry is busy... I know that. But Leon, he's around here helping right?" I asked. 

Renecca shrugged, she doesn't know Leon that well. "Could be." She said. 

I looked at my phone, then ran through the contacts to find Leon. If he's here in China, he could help. I could trust him not to tell Chris. I called Leon. 

"This is Kennedy." Leon answered. "Who's this?" 

"Leon, it's me, Claire." I said. "Where are you?" 

"I'm in China, I thought you knew that. Helena and I are helping investigating the area." He said. 

I sighed in relief, then half of that sigh was in worry. "Do you remember what Chris's partner looked like, the one from that whole incident?" I asked. Chris said they ran into each other. "Did yo see him?"

"Yeah... Aren't you talking about the one who died?" Leon said. He didn't know.... and now I have to tell him. 

"....He's not dead... He's alive and he was infected with... uh... an enhanced virus........ The point is... If you see him, call me...right away." I said, with worry definitely in my voice. 

"Enhanced?... What? What makes it enhanced?" He asked, wanting to know more details. 

"It's... It's all weird... I don't know how it works exactly, but all I know is that he'll spike, and then there could be another whole incident." I tried to explain... "Leon... just let me know if you see him..." 

There was a sigh, and then a woman called him over.

"I have to go... Helena found something... But yeah, I'll call." He said. 

"Thank you....." I mumbled and hung up. I have to charge my phone... It's gonna die soon.

Rebecca looked at me.

"It's okay... we'll be fine." She said.

There was a short pause, and I looked up at her.

"But will he?" I asked

**************

Chris's P.O.V.

I sighed.... being home alone after losing a lot of people you know isn't okay.

I rubbed my hand with my face. I've been trying to avoid being alone..... It reminds me..... of losing everyone. Knowing.... that it's my fault. 

Finn, Marcos....Piers..... It's my fault that they're dead. 

They were helping me.......... And, if I wasn't such a bastard they wouldn't have died. 

Especially Piers, he was the one who wanted me to come back from my amensia. 

And now he's dead. 

I could've saved him.

I groaned at myself. I shouldn't let depression take over me..... I can't let it overtake me. 

I need to get my act together, Jill will be home soon..... maybe I should go to Claire.... and call Jill to go there too. 

Yeah, that sounds good. And like a little brotherly surprise....

I convinced myself, so I packed up, and book the next flight to China, but with memories of my fallen comrades constantly pestering me.
