Chapter 1: Escape
-------------------------------------------------------
Claire Redfield.
After hearing her sweet yet deluding voice calling me, I woke up, and to my dismay, I was trapped, unable to escape the huge halberd that lay just in front of me. I looked at Claire’s fairly youthful face as she reluctantly tried to pull it away and free me. I helped in trying to remove it as well, though I was very sure there was no chance of freedom from the hard, steel pole of the halberd itself without the help of someone else other than me and Claire. She clutched the pole and with all her strength, she pulled. But it did not even budge from that spot. But other than the worry of permanent entrapment, I had this other worry as well that will endanger the very being of Claire. Right now, she was risking her life once again, just to save me.
Alexia Ashford… She must’ve done something to me. She must have experimented on me, just like what she did to her poor father. I could still remember those tentacles that knocked me off the helipad, almost falling to the endless abyss of snow right under us. She went to my aid even though right behind her, the hideous creature Nosferatu was closing in on her, with the involuntary intention of eliminating her. I told her to go, but she followed her instincts and ignored my warnings. To think, she risked her life just to save me, a simple seventeen year old teenager that was plunged into a world of creatures and abominations but still, with the stubborn and arrogant personality of a ten year old child.
My dad, he was the cause of all of this, including the death of my mother whom I loved very much. I had this deep hatred of him from the very start, even before we stepped foot on this hell-driven island, but if it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have ever met Claire, the beautiful nineteen year old girl with the uncanny ability of creating humorous yet truthful speeches that pointed out towards me. I simply acted like I was dreadfully annoyed at her points, but inside of me, I was laughing, and my relationship with her continued to build up every time we argued with each other, like a cute couple from an Asian sitcom where usually a relationship is built through continuous fights with each other.
I shifted back into reality when she had given up on releasing me. “Who did this to you?” She asked, and her voice echoed through the room in a seemingly endless manner. For that, I had to answer her with the very truth, which is that Alexia has experimented on me, like what she did to her father. I had no other choice.
I suddenly felt the inside of my body thumping, and each time I felt a tremendous amount of pain. Words could not describe the suffering that I felt there, it was like a mixture of different types of torture all compiled into one. I could do nothing but try to endure the pain, and ask for help. I kept calling Claire’s name, hoping for her to help me in any kind of way, but I could only see Claire’s horrified gaze at me, and I understood. I was about to turn into something else.
As I let out the last breath of air just to say her name, I felt my throat continually changing until my voice completely deepened beyond any man could. I suddenly felt the pain like my head was stretched beyond its reach a thousand times, over and over. I screamed in agony, but not even a small squeal left my now deformed mouth.
And then after, I felt the pain of each of my arms and legs being stretched, and later on, my whole upper body, up until my body started to produce violent and disturbing crunching sounds. There was nothing I could do but to close my eyelids, the only body part left that I could fully control, and wish it would all end quickly.
And then, I opened my eyes. Claire was still there, calling my name once again, but why would she call my name? I wasn’t Steve anymore, that’s for certain.
I felt the cold steel pole on my hands, even though I didn’t decide to pick it up. It was like I was being controlled by something else. And then I felt this sudden urge to just… Kill her and get it over with.
I swung the deadly weapon furiously throughout the room as I chased her towards the end. I was relieved that Claire was fast enough to dodge my incoming attacks, and she got out just in time before the metal gate closed in on her. I began pounding on the gate with desire of slicing her into pieces with the halberd.
But, why wouldn’t she leave? She just stood there and watched me as I pounded on the gate; it looked like she didn’t care for her life at all, but mine.
One of Alexia’s tentacles suddenly popped out from the wall, knocking Claire to the other side of the room. I could now feel my heart aching as the tentacle wrapped itself on Claire’s body, and held her up for me so I can kill her.
Yes, there was a burning flame of anger inside my body telling me to kill her, but deep in the depths of my heart, there was another burning flame as well, the burning flame of love to not try and kill her.
Just as I was about to chop her with the axe, I felt an uncontrollable emotion inside me to just stop doing what I was about to do. And amazingly, I did stop. The burning fire of love has won, and suddenly, I was able to control myself again. With all my strength, I used the axe to cut off the tentacle that held her. She fell down on the ground, and surprisingly, the tentacle retreated back in its hole, where it should have belonged in the first place.
Something wasn’t right. It didn’t strike back at me, but why? But then I felt my body returning back to normal before I could even try and figure it out. The halberd felt very heavy now, so I let it fall down on the ground, creating a loud noise that echoed through the empty room. I was now human again, like a miraculous event just happened to me, but how did that happen?
I struggled as I walked to Claire, but I couldn’t hold it anymore, and rested my back on the cold wall. I suddenly felt Claire’s soft, warm hands caressing my very face. I was freezing cold, and as I held her hand against my cheeks, I felt warm and comforted.
“Steve… Thank you,” she thanked me, but I couldn’t look at her in the eyes. I was ashamed that I nearly ended up trying to kill her. “You shouldn’t be thanking me Claire, I almost killed you…”
When I looked at her, she grinned. She looked more cheerful than before. “But you didn’t right? You ended up saving me instead, and that’s what I’m thanking you for.”
Suddenly, someone shouted through the prison door which was apparently locked when Claire went inside the room. “Claire! Are you in there?” a man shouted. “Yes Chris, I’m here with Steve. I can’t open the door; I think it’s electronically locked somehow. But I think I know how to unlock it.”
Claire took out a small book from her jacket and slid it under the door. “If you activate the self-destruct system in this facility, all of the doors should unlock immediately. You have to hurry,” She explained.
“Alright Claire, wait for me there.” I heard the faint sound of the footsteps from outside the door, until finally the sound faded away. “That was my brother, he came here to rescue us,” She said happily, but for me I felt embarrassed from making that insulting speech a few hours ago, it was all because I didn’t trust anyone ever since my dad led me into this place.
“I’m sorry I ever doubted you, your brother really did come to save you after all,” I apologized, but Claire shook her head and smiled. “You don’t need to apologize. Let’s just get over with that, okay?”
I nodded. I felt a bit happy that Claire was being nicer to me now. Maybe it’s because she almost lost me back there, but even if it was that very reason, I didn’t care at all.
A few minutes later, an alarm went off and an announcement was made. “This facility will detonate in five minutes.”
The lock on the door was released, and Claire jumped for joy. “He’s done it! Let’s go Steve, we’re finally going home.” She grabbed my hand and helped me stand up. I realized then that I was half naked. My clothes must have been torn apart when I mutated, and the only thing left that kept me from being nude was my pants- well, I could probably call it my shorts now. Now I know how the Hulk feels when he returns back to normal. But I didn’t care too much, all I wanted was to get out of this wretched hellhole.
A simple fan fic I made, where Steve Burnside survives and comes home with Claire Redfield.
Again, like I said before, English isn't my main language and I don't have a very wide vocabulary(nor am I good at describing things...) so I still hope you guys have a fun read. Thanks.
