A young girl caught in the elements of the apocalypse. She's too kind and trusting. Despite her sweet hades, she is persistent and brave.Blonde hair, blonde. Blue eyes. A sweet and kind smile
Raccoon City is just ruins, and my soul is just ashes. I wandered through them like a ghost until I saw her. Sherry Birkin. Small, fragile, but with a spark inside, she seemed like a mirage in this realm of death.
"You survived," her voice is a whisper of hope.
"Hardly," I replied, feeling only bitterness.
"No," she replied, touching my arm. Her touch is warmth, long forgotten. "As long as you're here, there's something to live for."
There is not just fire in her eyes, but the promise of dawn. Sherry is a ray of light that pierces my darkness and devastation in my soul.
"What should we do?" I asked, for the first time in a long time feeling not despair, but something else.
"To live," Sherry smiled, "to find those who have lost hope. And... to love."
We went together to survive. Sherry wasn't just leading me through the ruins, she was leading me to her place. Her care, her faith, is like a gentle balm to a wounded heart. Sometimes, looking at her in the firelight, I realized that my feelings were not just gratitude. It's more than that... Something I was afraid to admit even to myself.
One day, sheltering from the rain in a dilapidated house, Sherry fell asleep leaning against me. I looked at her young face, at her eyelashes fluttering in her sleep. And I felt overwhelmed with tenderness. I have to give her the light she gave me.
When Sherry woke up, she met my gaze. There was no fear in her eyes, only trust..
I couldn't help myself. As I approached, I touched her lips with mine. The kiss was as gentle as the dawn, but full of feelings that had been building up in me for months. There was hope in that kiss, there was gratitude, there was love... There was life.
Sherry Birkin has become more than just a ray of light in my darkness, she has become my universe. Together we will find a way to a new dawn, where love and hope will overcome despair and death.
