My name is Devan Delerose and this is my survival story.
~Chapter 1~ Something Strange~
-Raccoon City-
Halsted and Beaux
-8:00 AM-
Something strange has been happening to my little city. Something strange indeed. There have been rumors of strange moaning sounds that can be heard both day and night, unexplainable murders, and not to mention the three teenagers that disappeared on a field trip to the Arklay Mountains. People just seem to be on the edge of their seats lately. And as much as I try to ignore the feeling in the pit of my stomach I seem to be on the edge of my seat as well. But today is Friday not a day to sit around cowering in my three inch heeled combat boots about strange noises, mysterious disappearances, and supposed murders. Today is a day to live my life and hang out with my friends Ryan and Veronica. Yup. Today is going to be a good day… Or so I think…
Ryan blasts his music as we take a short cut through the alley just to be five minutes late for school.
"T-G-I-Mother-Fucking-F man!" Veronica laughs as Ryan waves seductively to a blonde policeman passing through the alley in his cop car.
I smile cheekily and sigh. You only get friends like this once in a life time. I would be absolutely destroyed if I lost them.
I hear grunting and moaning from just a few houses down where I see a homeless man crouched over something… something that is (or was) bleeding. We get closer to see the man digging his teeth into a dogs neck. My eyes grow wide as the man continues ripping into the corpse and swallowing mouthful after mouthful of rancid canine flesh. The man looks up at us. His eyes were white and lifeless and his skin was yellowish green as if he himself is just a soulless vessel. The shriek of fear startled the man and sent him running. Only the strange thing is that he was running towards us and fear was no where to be found within his eyes.
"Veronica!" Ryan pushes veronica out of the way and grabs a hold of the man only to get a chunk of his neck ripped off like paper by the mans corroded choppers.
"Let go of him!" In a frenzy I push the cannibal off of Ryan only to worsen his wound. Veronica rushes to his aid and tries to stop the bleeding as I rush towards the man having no clue on how much adrenaline must be pumping out of my heart. I attempt to push the man again but he grabs onto me with such an amazing force. He reaches in to bite and out of instinct I grab his jaw and hold it shut.
"Get down!" I duck then hear a loud boom. The man falls on top of me and I scream as loud as humanly possible as he falls limp and blood pours from his temples and onto my once crisp white uniform shirt. I roll out from underneath the man and shove my heart back into my chest. I can't believe this is happening. This can't be real.
"Ryan!" I run over to see him grasping onto life and gasping for air.
"He'll be alright for now. Just get in the car!" The same blonde police man lifts him up and shoves him into the back seat of his police car.
