Y/N POV

I don't know how long I'd been out for. All I did know was that someone had shot a dart of sorts into my neck, I'd passed out staring at the skies above the reservoir and now that I was coming too again, I didn't know where I was exactly, all I knew was that it was pitch dark once again.

For a strange moment, it felt like I was at the Baker home all over again. The number of times I would pass out there and wake up somewhere completely different, or just find myself still in that same spot. It seemed my mind had forgotten where I was for a moment.

At first my eyes were closed, that would explain the darkness, however upon opening them, I found it wasn't much different. I could just barely see my surroundings. It appeared I was in some kind of large storage area. But where?

Letting out a tired groan I sat up. Whatever was in that dart must have been pretty strong, my entire body felt stiff and difficult to move. I stretched and grunted, trying to regain feeling in my limbs and that's when a voice echoed through the room.

"So, you're finally awake." My head shot around looking for the source of the voice and when I spotted it, my eyes narrowed in anger. At the far-end of the room, I could see a light, presumably from a computer screen, illuminated by it was the face of none other than Chris Redfield!

I spat with pure hatred "Chris." He didn't even look up from the computer when he replied "Didn't know if you were going to wake up." I instantly went to reach for my handgun however I found it wasn't there. Of course he wouldn't just leave me with my weapons.

Looking back to Chris, I sat up from whatever I was lying on, it seemed to be a medical stretcher. I tried standing up, however I wasn't quite at that point yet, I nearly tripped over, however I placed my hands on a pile of crates nearby to brace myself.

I had no desire to make small talk after what Chris had done, so I got straight to the point. "Why did you bring me here?" I began to limp over to him, a scowl spread across my face as I added "Well?! Answer me?!"

For the first time since I'd woken up, Chris actually focused his attention on me, looking up from the computer, he explained "I have some questions I need to ask you." My scowl with narrowed eyes didn't go away, but I still responded "Go on..."

Chris took a moment before saying "Sorry about the darkness." He reached out and flipped a switch, several small lights around us lit up. The majority of the room was still dark, but I could see the area around us much more clearly now.

My attention was instantly drawn to a table on the side. On it seemed to be everything I was carrying when I was knocked out. My weapons, the handgun, rifle and magnum. Next to it were several ammo boxes for each of those guns, along with the last bottle of first aid medicine I had and at the end were the crystalized remains of both Dimitrescu and Moreau.

I eyed them up for a moment before turning to Chris, asking "Where are we? Why did you have all the lights off?" Chris replied "After our post near the reservoir was discovered, we had to relocate and came here. We had to keep the lights off as to not alert Heisenberg to our presence."

My eyes widened "Wait, Heisenberg?" Chris nodded "Yeah, we've been keeping tabs on all of the 'Lords' here. Given how you and Ethan dealt with the other three, that left him. If we had the lights on, he would suspect that there were intruders in his factory."

I stood motionless, I was in Heisenberg's factory? Was Ethan here? If not, where was he? I asked "Is Ethan here?" Chris shook his head, responding "No, I don't know where he went, all we do know is he successfully escaped the reservoir."

There was another pause between us before Chris finally said "Right, I need you to tell me what you know." He approached the table with the crystal Dimitrescu and Moreau. "I noticed you carried these artefacts around with you, they have similar properties to that of the Mold three years ago."

I nodded "Yes, I did note that. I'd hoped to research them and perhaps come to the conclusion of their similarity." Chris pointed out "I noticed you have only two statues yet according to the info we have on your progress there should be three."

To that I explained "That's because Lady Donna Beneviento is still alive." This caused Chris' eyes to widen this time as he exclaimed "You let her live?! Why?! We have little idea what these lords or Mother Miranda are capable of!"

It was at this point I couldn't hold in my anger towards Chris, I'd tried to remain calm and civil but now I couldn't stop myself as I yelled. "I decided to give her a chance! A chance she wouldn't be given by anyone else!"

I shook my head frantically before letting everything out. "Besides, it's not like you can talk. You killed Mia, don't you remember?! My sister, right in front of me and Ethan, without a second's hesitation. You just... Killed her..."

I trailed off, only now noticing the tear coming down my cheek. In an instant, I acted "This is for her." I reached out towards Chris and snatched the knife off his belt and held it ready to stab him directly through the chest!

Before I could stab though, Chris dived forward, pinning me against some nearby crates, squeezing my wrist until I had no choice but to let go of the knife. He glared right at me and yelled "I didn't kill MIA!"

I just stood there in shock, the knife fell to the ground with a clang. Chris stepped back before bending over to pick it up. I didn't know whether I believed him. I was speechless, all I managed to mutter was a quiet "What?"

Chris glared at me "That wasn't Mia at that house." I asked "Then who was it?! To that Chris replied "It was Miranda!" I spat "Don't lie to me! How is that even possible!" Chris went on to explain.

"Miranda is a bioweapon, I don't know how, but she managed to impersonate Mia somehow in your house. Seems she somehow survived being shot as well, so I'm here to finish the job." I just stood there for a moment, my mind racing as I took all this in.

"Does that mean Mia could be alive?" Chris shook his head "I don't know. We never found out what Mother Miranda did with her." After that I asked "Why couldn't you have just told us?" Chris responded.

"If I had, you and Ethan would have come here looking for her. Seems it still happened despite my best efforts." There was a moments silence before I headed over to the table and began picking up my items.

Chris asked in shock "What are you doing?!" I calmly responded "I'm going to investigate the factory." After loading my weapons, I turned to walk away however Chris grabbed hold of me saying "No Y/N! Don't interfere. I told you and Ethan to stay out of this!"

I retorted "We're already in too deep now Chris. We've managed to survive three of the lords. Besides Miranda apparently wants to speak with me about a matter, perhaps Heisenberg could clue me in on this."

Chris just stared at me for a moment there was a look in his eye that I didn't understand before he randomly said "God, you remind me so much of him." I looked at him confused before he elaborated "Another Y/N I knew. A part of you made me think of him."

I made a faint "Ahh." Before asking "Was he a friend of yours." Chris sighed again "No, the opposite actually. Until the end, we were actually enemies." I simply said "Oh." And added "What happened to him?"

Chris answered "He died years ago, in an oil field explosion near China." I commented "Well, don't worry. There'll be no dying on my part. Not today. You have my word." Chris just let out a low chuckle before saying "Right. Take this."

He tossed something to me, catching it, Chris explained "It's one of our communicators. If you find anything of interest, let me know." I nodded and replied "Will do." Before beginning my exploration of the factory.

Little did I know, here I would finally begin to understand the game that was unfolding here...
