Resident Evil: Bloodlust

by Guardian of Ice

Lara Danielson, an Umbrella lab tech, is trapped in an underground facility with hordes of zombies, creatures, and one very dangerous man turned monster. Only one thing could make it worse: it wants her as its mate... Chapter 38 is UP!

1. Prologue

Resident Evil: Bloodlust.
Disclaimer: Most of the ideas aren't mine, but the characters are. Well.. most of them. :D
Note: The prologue should be read as if from a computer screen, and the voice entry parts as if you're listening to them.. Please, bear with me. I get silly ideas in my head and have to put them down.

[X-Virus : With the T and G virus, subjects begin transformation within hours, sometimes days. A new type of virus, the X-Virus, changes subjects in just under an hour. Mutation can differ when the virus is injected directly into living tissue, and can depend upon the species and gender of the host. With most virus spills and infections, the subjects simply meander about, so described as "zombies" by anyone who may have seen them. With some of the experiments, however, there is indeed some sign of intelligence and perhaps a hint of remaining human emotion. But not much. More so with the X-Virus than with the other two developed types, these human traits seem to be an annoyance to Umbrella staff.

Subject Status: Stable

Observation Time: 11:35 PM, December 18th, 1999

In-Depth Report: Subject, so named Thomas DeSalvo, doesn't respond to the leaving of fresh meat in holding cell. Will often maul or pick at, but rarely eat. Has been very docile as of late. Hopefully this doesn't lead to an outburst, as shown with previous subjects. So far, Subject seems healthy. Although I have the odd suspicion that Subject T is "fond" of me, I believe he poses no immediate threat to any of the others or myself.

Voice Notes: "Sudden change in behavior, recorded at 12:57 AM. Subject began moaning and beating on the walls, nearly breaking into the recording room where I now sit. An odd cry was emitted, something that sounded eerily like 'mate'. I ran to look in the window of the cell, and Subject T's fit ceased. He turned and stared at me, then reached out with a claw and...stroked the window.. Very odd behavior, considering that he has done almost nothing but sit in the corner and stare at the cameras. Subject T continues to display human emotion, including the need for a 'mate.'"

Voice Notes: "Over the past few days, I have heard several reports from other watchmen and women. Apparently while I have been on holiday, there have been several more outbursts by the T-031 specimen. He still calls for a 'mate', however. It baffles me that he could still show signs of humanity, as he has had three more infusions of the X-Virus in the past three days. When I arrived for my shift this evening at nine, Subject T was in another frenzied state. A pair of guards were trying to subdue him, and to my utter horror, he...just... ripped them to pieces..right before my eyes. What added a great deal to my already prominent confusion was that when he had finished, he began to wail as if mourning... Perhaps my imagination is a little too active, but that's exactly how it sounded. I made my way once again to the window, where I could see better, and once again the fit ceased. Subject T sniffed at the air, as a dog or cat would, and very slowly turned to look at me. A sort of... I don't know... LONGING was there in his eyes, I don't know why, but I swear that's what it was. Maybe I just need to work day shift.. (Slight laugh) But I just stood there, frozen, at least until he moved towards me, and I backed down a bit. A sort of grin spread over his face... Crazy, huh? .. And he SPOKE to me.. he said, very matter-of-factly, 'Mate.' I hope he's just feeling the aftereffects of the-"
"CRASH!"
(Distant sounding Male Voice) "Oh, GOD! Subject T has esc- GAH!"
(Lara's voice again) "Oh...oh my God... Subject T has escaped! Oh, shi-"
