Temporary Alliance

Chapter Seven- Lost

🎶A Thousand Miles🎶

Claire's POV

"Oh my god, Claire what happen?" Jill asked as she pulled me indoors. I was completely soaked and sneezing like hell. Another lightning struck and I cringed.

I hated this sort of whether!

So much for going to a job interview huh? For the past week all it did was rain and this was my second time being caught in it.

Chris came around wearing one combat boots while there was another in his hand. He shook his head at me, gesturing that he expected this.

"Get her a towel Jill" he told Jill as he took the numerous bags from me and took them towards the kitchen while I followed him. He placed them on the counter, shaking his head at me.

"I told you to take and umbrella with you" he insisted as he touched my forehead only for me to swat his hand away.

"I'm not a kid Christopher and I didn't expect it to rain" I told him as I took my shoes off. A loud sneeze echoed through the house only for Chris to jolt back.

"You sure act like a kid Claire, its been raining all week. How did you get caught in the rain any ways?" He asked and I swung his keys.

"I was looking for these besides Jill asked me to get groceries remember" I told him as I handed the keys to him. He flashed water from them before placing them to his pocket.

He then placed his other shoes on, lowering himself to tie his shoelaces. I looked at Chris, remembering the events of seeing Wesker.

I gripped the wet fabric of my skirt, ringing it dry as I tried to gather the right words. If Wesker was back my brother had the right to know.

Now or Never Claire...my subconscious warned as Chris straightened.

"Um Chris..." As soon as those words left my lips Chris gave me his full attention. The boldness I thought I had gathered left me immediately.

I wet my lips, staring at Chris while mentally contemplating.

Maybe not wanting to upset him while he headed off for work would be a good idea.

"Yes Claire" Chris added, hoping I would continue my statement. A towel then fell on my shoulder, Jill giving my shoulders a light squeeze. I then decided to speak of the other thing that bothered me.

Going a week without hearing from my husband.

"Have you heard from Leon?" I asked and Chris arched a brow.

"He hasn't called you yet?" Chris asked surprised while Jill unpacked the bags filled with groceries.

"He did...a week ago" I told my brother truthfully.

"Maybe he is busy Claire" Jill added as she opened the refrigerator.

"I'm starting to get worried Jill, he hasn't been taking my calls. I have no idea if he's...hurt" I saddened upon saying that.

"Leon is okay Claire, take a shower and let me make you something warm" Jill stated and I nodded. Maybe I was over reacting indeed.

"I'll see you two in the morning" Chris stated as he kissed Jill's cheek and patted my head.

*******

"Claire are you sure you're okay?" Jill asked and I looked at her.

"Huh? Yeah I'm fine" I replied and she took a sip of her soup before speaking.

"You know Leon has been through things like this all the time, Claire he will call you" Jill stated as she squeezed my shoulder in a comforting way.

"But this isn't like him" I insisted.

"Give him another week, I'm sure he's just busy...his work is not an easy one" Jill stated while I emptied the content of my bowl.

"I'm gonna retire for bed, good night Jill" I stated as she took my bowl from me.

"Good night young Redfield" she states returning my bright smile.

I made my way upstairs, checking on the kids. There were all resting peacefully and I fell into thoughts of this Nitro X virus. If this virus should be released I would never watch my baby grow.

However I could not trust Wesker either, he had more than snake eyes, he was a snake. For all I knew he could be dragging us to our deaths.

Heck, this could be his way to deliver his revenge on Chris first hand. I rubbed my temples, Wesker was a grown ass man, he was capable of cleaning his own mess.

Placing a kiss to the children foreheads I finally left and headed for Chris and Jill's bedroom. Jill would be sleeping on the sofa tonight and I felt awful.

I hated being a bother, even if it was Jill's idea that I spent the night with them I still felt like a bother. I headed for the bed room, turning the lamp on before flicking the lights off.

I dialed Leon, the phone ringing and even though I anticipated his voice it was never heard. When the voicemail came on I hung up, redialing.

Again I got no answer and a tear made it way from my eyes to my cheeks before falling onto the white pillow beneath my head. I turned on my side, pulling the covers over my body as I closed my eyes.

I woke up in bright lighting, my lips and throat parched. I was just about to ease up when bed straps prevented me from doing so.

What the...

The door opened, a man dressed in white closing it gently. I chose to voice my anger, my fist balled.

"Why am I here!" I yelled looking over my swollen stomach, only for pain to shoot through my stomach.

Contractions...

I screamed, my head going from side to side as the man took his own time to put his gloves on. I yelled, my legs parting as I felt movements within me.

The doctor finally raised his head for the first time and when amber eyes met me I screamed...

"Claire!" I then sat up in sweat, Jill staring down at me with a worried face.

"It was just a dream" she assured me, pulling me close to her as soon as she sat on the bed next to me. Cool air greeted me and I looked to the open window as I took a deep and shaky breath.

This man would always haunt me in more ways that one...
