Claire's reason to carry on (S2)

Claire closed the shutter when she heard Dakota screaming outside. She took a deep breath, tried desperately not to think about what was happening out there and went back to find Sam.

On the third floor where that terrible scene took place, she saw Sam standing there quietly. There was some dried blood on the floor but Dustin was nowhere to be seen. He has been turned for sure, but Henry must’ve commanded him to go somewhere else. Where would he be? And why?

“What a pity.” Sam said calmly, “I really want to fuck him.”

Claire widened her eyes and stared at Sam when she heard that. What a pity? Our friend has been hurt and gone missing and that’s what she feels? Seeing the blood on Sam’s face, she wasn’t sure if that kind and cute girl she once knew was still in there.

“Can we have some fun now?” Sam smiled happily and tried to hug Claire, who slightly walked away to dodge her, “What’s wrong? You don’t want me anymore?” Sam asked in surprise.

“I’m sorry, but I need to find out what it is in that syringe first. Maybe I can find out where did Dustin go, too.” Claire didn’t dare to look Sam in the eyes when she walked past her and headed towards the director’s room.

Before she went deeper, Claire noticed that the communication panel on the wall was flashing green light. It was a voice message replied to a previous one sent from here. Curious, she checked the messages and pressed the PLAY button.

“Brian, what the fuck are you doing with the girl in that orphanage? Things are going bad everywhere! For God’s sake, sent help!” It was Henry’s voice, scared but still arrogant. This must be recorded before he got bitten. But Brian... Who’s that? Claire found this name familiar but it didn’t ring a bell.

“Go fuck yourself, Henry.” That voice in the reply sounded familiar, too. Claire definitely heard it somewhere, but she couldn’t quite remember.

Without further ado, she stepped into the bedroom. The air inside still had the thick scent of sex and blood, and Claire was almost overwhelmed instantly. Sam and she had been fucking each other’s brain out for the last dozen hours until sunset, and all that memories were becoming more and more vivid when she saw the comfortable bed and the deep bloodstain on the sheet. She tried hard to kept her mouth shut, but eventually she couldn’t help panting when she was investigating the room.

On a desk, she found a diary of the director, the content of which made her uncomfortable.

Sep. 22

Stephanie has been asking questions. That bitch is annoying and doesn’t know when to shut up. Takahashi was taking her to the NEST to participate in the latest experiment. Damn. I need to shut my mouth too or I’ll be next.

Sep. 26

People are missing every day. Maria is sick. The communication with the NEST or Takahashi has been cut off since three days ago. What the hell happened?

“Sam?” Claire yelled aloud, “I think you should come and see this.”

When she turned around she found out that Sam was already behind her. Sam took the diary from her and only glanced at it for a few seconds before throwing it to the corner of the room.

“Steph is not here... Dustin is not here... You’re here, Claire...” Sam approached Claire, pinned her by the desk and **** a kiss on her lips, “Can’t we just forget everything else and fuck? No one can disturb us now!”

Claire was about to decline but was stopped when she felt her cunt being invaded by Sam’s finger. She moaned intensely with cold air exhaled between her tiny fangs. The scratchy feelings from her lower part almost made her unable to keep standing. Her legs shivered from the growing pleasure, and she could feel her mind slipping away, too. Had this continued, she would lose herself again, which she couldn’t allow to happen.

Sam saw the blush on Claire’s face and smiled. She licked the sweet juice from her finger before kneeling down and approaching Claire’s intimacy, only to be gently pushed away.

“I’m sorry, Sam, but I... I can’t right now.” Claire stumbled towards the corner, leaving Sam a little bit down behind.

She was hoping to check if there was other things important in Henry’s diary, however, she found her clothes along with all her equipment at the corner. When she picked up her lucky red jacket, she felt something heavy in the pocket. It was a golden pendant.

“Sherry... Sherry!” How could I forget about her? Damn it! It’s been half a day now. How is she? A lot of bad things ran across her mind but Claire knew that there was something she needed to do.

“Who’s Sherry?” Sam asked.

“She’s a little girl I ran into in the police station. She was captured by a crazy man before I came here. That’s right! Brian Irons, that’s that fucker’s name!” Claire put the pendant back into the pocket and started to get dressed, “She’s been taken to the orphanage! Sam, do you know where it is?”

“Southeast, a few blocks away...” Sam stared at her with confusion, “Why?”

“I need to go save her!”

“And turn her, too? That’s wonderful! I love it!” Sam smiled joyfully and clapped her hands, “Can I have some of her, too? You’re not keeping her for yourself, are you?”

“What!? I’m not gonna hurt her. I...” When Claire put on her jeans and the bite marks on the inner thigh left by Sam were brushed through, she felt being washed by an orgasm and the thirst was getting stronger. She managed to suppress it for now, but could she still do it after reuniting with Sherry?

“You feel it, right? Don’t fight it, Claire.” Sam came closer to softly caress her cheek, “You want to find her because you want to share this gift and your eternal love with her, don’t you? It’s what we are! The more you fight it, the more painful you will be when you fail, and you will eventually fail, just like me and everyone else!”

“No!” Claire shrugged her hand away and ran out of the room. The smell in the room is affecting my mind, that’s it! It’ll be alright later... It’ll be alright...

While telling herself to calm down, Claire found the chief medical officer’s room on the same floor, where she noticed that there was a big diamond sign on the locked door. Using the diamond key to unlock it, she successfully entered the room.

The decoration of this room was very simple that, besides a desk and a few chairs, there was basically nothing in it. Claire found a pass key card with the officer’s name Takahashi on it, which she believed could be used on the elevator.

Apart from for a map of this factory, a strange note in the locker that had been cracked caught her attention. It was an experiment report on a latest vaccine with the serial code “KT-W-0002”, the same as the code on the purple syringe. She could smell the disgusting scent of Henry from the paper.

“Why do you keep dodging me, Claire?” Sam came to this room, too.

“Sam! I know what this is!” Claire happily grabbed the syringe from the medical case and showed it to Sam, “It’s a vaccine!”

“So... it can cure us?” For the first time in a long time a light of hope flashed in Sam’s eyes.

“No, unfortunately... But it says the vaccine can still destroy something called the T-Virus in our body, and make us less thirsty and think clearer!” Claire handed the report to Sam and smiled, “It’ll take a whole syringe to be effective on one person, but it can be synthesized in Umbrella labs, such as one called the NEST beneath the sewer system!”

“Is that so...” The light instantly disappeared in Sam’s red eyes as she slowly walked into the room, “You don’t like being like this with me forever, do you, Claire?”

“What? That’s not what I...” Claire didn’t catch up.

“I don’t want to go back.” Sam sat in the corner of the room and spoke quietly, “After you killed that bastard and... after I drained that girl, my mind is clear enough for a short while to remember what I’ve done... to you, to that girl... It hurts.”

“Hey, hey,” Claire stepped towards Sam and held her hand, “I don’t blame you, alright? It’s not you back then. It’s my fault that I couldn’t protect you!”

“But I blame myself. I’ll hate myself if I go back to who I was. Having a clear mind in this is a curse, Claire.” Sam buried her head in her arms and sobbed, “I can’t take it! The only time I can forget those moments are when I’m fucking and feeding...”

Sam slowly spread her legs and drilled a finger inside her cunt in front of Claire. She shamelessly moaned, but she did not care anymore. The scene was arousing Claire, too. She was salivating and licking her fangs, as she could barely restrain herself from approaching Sam to have a taste of her.

“I can... do whatever I want now... Ah!” Sam quickly lost herself in the growing pleasure.

“Sam...” Claire tried to keep her distance. She felt heartbroken when she saw her friend became a mindless slut who wanted only blood and sex. And she feared that one day she would become like this, too.

“Take the vaccine, Claire... Ah... So that... so that you may be able to control yourself when you find the girl... Ah...” Sam panted between her words, “And... just leave me be... Ah!”

“I’m sorry...”

Claire knew the risk of bringing Sam to Sherry. She took a blood bag from the medical case and placed it next to Sam before standing up and leaving the room, hoping it could help. She struggled to ignore the inviting, stimulating moans and locked the door with the diamond key. That’s all she could do for her friend right now.

It’s not gonna be worse, Claire thought and without hesitation injected herself with the vaccine. In just a few seconds she felt a chilling sensation sweeping through her vein and almost like killing her. She curled up and twitched on the floor, even went completely silent for dozens of seconds.

But when she woke up again, everything felt so different. Her vision was not red anymore as her eye color has changed back to her usual blue, and she noticed that her fangs have retracted, too. Except for that itchy thirst lingering in her throat, she felt totally normal as if she’s a human again.

Sherry, please be alright... I’m coming to save you, Claire thought as she went towards the elevator shaft.
