Revelations
Sitting with Ada was awkward, I wanted nothing more than to gut the woman for acting the way she did when Leon, and I also was confused as to why Leon invoked such thought in me. But I made a promise to Leon to watch over her.
Hearing Ada groan and call out my name, I looked over to her from my place near the door.
"Yes, Ada?" I answered as I moved over to her while she tried to sit up.
"I'm sorry to say this, but I'm a spy for your father. While I was truly looking for my boyfriend, I was also sent after the G-virus." Ada said, and I jerked away from her.
"My father is dead." I hissed and backed away from her.
"No, he isn't, at least, some part of him isn't. He, like you, has the T-virus within him." Ada said with a smile, and I growled at her.
"And you stringing Leon and me along? Why?" I demanded as she sat up.
"Both of you were a means to an end, though Leon is a cutie, however, I see how you care for him." Ada shrugged as she started to stand, and I transformed both of my hands into claws.
"And what are you going to do now? If what you said about my dad is true." I demanded as I tried to reach the door subtly.
"While I may work for your father, you stupidly tagged along and are now a liability," Ada said and fired her gun at me, dodging I ran out the door and panicked.
"Shit, I need to find Leon!" I hissed to myself as I avoided Ada's gunfire.
Running straight into Leon, I wanted to cry in joy. "Leon! Ada's a spy; we need to get out of here, she's trying to kill me!" I pleaded, completely forgetting the fact that bullets don't affect me in my panic.
Leon grabbed his gun and shoved me behind him as Ada caught up with me.
"What the hell Ada!" Leon roared, and I started at this back in shock, why was he trying to protect me?
Even as he tried to get Ada back over the rails, I was frozen.
"Go, Leon, take her and go. It's too late for me." Ada smiled as she fell to her death. Hearing the speaker announce the countdown, I felt fear.
"Leon, if we don't make it..." I began only to widen my eyes in shock as chapped lips met my own, effectively shutting me up.
"We'll make it, let's go," Leon said, grabbing my hand as a blush overtook my face. What was that?
I knew what kissing was, being in a family like S.T.A.R.S. I heard and saw plenty, but I was confused as to why Leon would kiss me?
Following behind Leon, necessary since he'd yet to let go of my hand, my eyes roamed over his back, trying to understand why he'd kiss a monster like me.
Escaping the lab with Claire and Sherry after finally putting William down for good, I followed Leon into the conductor's cabin. "Leon, why did you kiss me?"
"Because I think I'm falling for you Aconite Wesker, maybe it's just because of the hell we just survived, and you were with me through it all, but I can't help but hope it's more," Leon said as he trapped me against the door and I blushed again, an exceedingly common occurrence around him it seemed.
"What about Ada?" I asked bitterly; I would be a fool if I didn't see the chemistry between them.
"She was a friend in a way, but I didn't see her in the same light as I do you," Leon whispered as he cupped my face in his hand and kissed me.
"Le...on," I whimpered as we broke apart, ducking under his arm to get some space between us, "I don't...I can't, I'm a monster," I stuttered as I glued my eyes to the floor.
"Aconite, you're not a monster, a monster is in what you do, not who you are. You're perfect as you are, tendrils and all," Leon said as he gently grabbed one of said tendrils that had appeared from my hands in my confusion.
"Leon, I...what if I can give you anything substantial, and what if my virus becomes unstable or I infect you or..." I babbled as Leon pulled me to him, kissing me again to silence me.
"You're perfect, Aconite, and I want to give us a chance if you're willing," Leon told me as he pushed my hair behind my ear.
Everything within me screamed 'danger' and that this would be a mistake that letting someone in would only hurt me, but as I gazed into Leon's eyes, I found myself ignoring the voices in my head.
"O...okay, I'll try as well," I promised as I laid my head on his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me, my tendrils wrapping around us both.
"To new beginnings?" he asked me, and he rested his head atop mine, and I smiled.
"Yes, to new beginnings, is Claire going to search for Chris?"
"Yes, but Sherry will come with us, she mentioned that her father said you were godsisters."
"We are," I whispered as I looked out the window at the world passing us by. Maybe it was a survivor's bond that we have, but I found myself looking forward to the future.
However, one thing bothered me, was my father really still alive? If so, how did he escape the mansion?
