Resident Evil: Oblivion

Brilliance

I was losing my mind. Nursing a cold bag of frozen peas to my eye from today's training, and it had my whole face numb. My hand burns from the coldness seeping into my bones and I shiver uncontrollably.

How long have I been here? What was taking Leon so long to find me? I...was starting to give up. I thought about my mother a lot, and wondered if I died here if I would see her again. I missed my parents. Albert...my daddy had a lot of issues, but I knew he loved me, and I missed him a lot too.

What would they say if they knew I was just sitting in here every day? Would they be disappointed that I let them do whatever they wanted with me until my rescue came? If my rescue came...

Something twitches beneath my skin and I wince as my arm flails without my control. I wrap my hand around it and hold it down. I could see little wormy like things crawling beneath my skin. They terrified me. The tremors had even been becoming more frequent when I started getting the booster shots.

My breathing hitches when I hear someone outside the door.

The door opens and a familiar face appears. He's dressed in a dark blue suit and his dirty blonde hair is pushed to the left, his wire framed glasses sit on his sharp, strait nose.

"Stay away from me," I growl at Alex Wesker.

"Now, now," he drawls and takes a step closer. "I'm just here to observe your progress myself. How are you doing, dear?"

"What do you care?"

"You're my niece...but on top of that, you're my trophie. A special prize I got in addition to your brother for killing your father."

He took a syringe out from his jacket pocket and removed it from its wrappings.

"Leon is gonna stop whatever you have planned."

"Agent Kennedy has never been able to stop anything. In fact...isnt this the second time he has allowed you to be kidnapped?"

"No, I ran away the first time," I mumble as I scoot away from him. His arm shoots out and he grasps my bicep in a painful grip that makes me wince, and with impossible precision,  Stabs the vein in my elbow with his syringe and starts to draw blood.
I cry out with the pain of it and he pulls the needle out, capping it, and smirking down at me as the hole in my inner elbow heals right up.

Whatever was in my arm started squirming and running up my arms again, as if they had been disturbed. My arm was throbbing, and if my tear ducts weren't dry from all the crying I had done since I got here, the tears would have been freefalling down my cheeks. I didnt need to look at the man before me to know he was studying me. I could feel his eyes burning into me.

He put his hand on my shoulder, and spoke next in a soft voice that I never would have guessed as genuine. "I did love your mother, you know. You have her nose and lips. Dear heart, I know what love is, and I... I am sincerely sorry how Mr. Saddler brought you here through such a cruel trick."

For some reason, this unexpected remorse from my father's monster brother only infuriated me. I shoved his hand off of my shoulder and stood up, glaring at him.

"Don't you dare speak to me about my mother. You have no right. Not after what you did! You dont know what love for another person is! You love power, and control, and you love other people's fear and suffering. You're a psychopath and can't feel anything for another human being, especially for someone like my mother!"

The ground was vibrating under our feet with the power I was losing control of. I dont know where it came from, or what I was even doing, I just knew that somehow I was the source of whatever was happening. Alex's face showed a flash of something before it was gone and replaced with a mask of callousness. Was that fear I saw? Hurt, maybe? Had I hurt Alex Weskers feelings?

Alex grunts with the effort of standing up strait. "Leave," I command him. The ground stops vibrating and Alex checks to make sure his precious syringe was intact and in place, before cooly walking back towards the door. He pauses and looks back at her.

"By the way. Dont get too comfortable here tonight. We are moving you at midnight."

****Aleine****

"Selena gets back to us through the means of powers with the help of Leon."

Aleine sucks in a deep breath and stares at the words she had written like she couldn't believe she had done it. In truth, she felt rather stupid she had done it. But the entries in the book were so unbelievable she just had to try it. And the way she had seen Selena protect the bag it was always in always made her curious.

She debated taking the book back to Agent Kennedys place, but then she would have to admit to breaking and entering. She didnt really feel like going to jail.

Maybe he wouldn't cart her off to the jailhouse if she helped find Selena?

"Where is Selena?" She tried writing, but nothing happened. That must mean that the book took commands and not questions. "Show me where Selena is," she sighs as she writes it. Still, nothing happened.

She taps her pen on the page, making tiny green dots litter the margin. Her teeth worry at her bottom lip before she tried again. "A map to where Selena is appears on the pages of the magic journal."

For a while, nothing happened and it made Aleine feel real dumb. But then wind from seemingly nowhere picked up and flipped the page of the journal to a blank section, and black ink began crawling up the page starting from the bottom right corner. It drew out markers and everything you would expect on a map, and then red ink started from their city all the way to a town that everyone but the survivors had mostly forgotten about.

A red circle was drawn around the city name by an invisible hand wielding an invisible pen.

Raccoon City.

Authors Note: sorry it's been a while guys!

What do you think about the twist I put in there about Alex? What do you thinks gonna happen with that?

What about Raccoon City? It's been gone a long time, hasnt it? What's going on?

Lemme see those predictions, guys! The person who gets the closest to my plans will get a chapter dedicated to them!

As always, thank you all for reading! I love ya'll!
