My new story guys, hope you like it!
They walked out onto the hill, the bright green colour seeming to be the most beautiful thing they had seen in what seemed like years. Billy noticed the handcuff on his left hand had come loose at some point. Without hesitation, he slipped the cuff off, and threw it towards the steep cliff below.
It's finally over, he thought as he collapsed to the floor, exhaustion starting to overwhelm his body. He closed his eyes momentarily, laying his arms out to the side as he let out long deep breaths to relax himself.
He heard the gentle footsteps of Rebecca to his left as she began to walk closer to the edge. Feeling shade creep over him and coldness beginning to replace the warm sunlight, he opened his eyes, looking up to the young woman next to him.
"Hey," she murmured, "That must be the old mansion that Enrico was talking about."
Billy sat up, staring in the direction she was. He could see the mansion, surrounded by trees and shadows. Billy began to feel fearful all of a sudden; he didn't want Rebecca to go through a nightmare like the one they just survived.
She turned towards him, bending down to where he was sitting, and tugged the dog tags off from around his neck. Billy let out a small gasp of surprise, before standing up to watch her as she looked at them silently for a second.
"I guess it's time to say goodbye," she sighed, tying the tags around her neck before staring out towards the mansion. "Officially, Lieutenant Billy Coen is dead."
"Yeah, I'm just a zombie now," he smirked, turning towards the trees behind them; he couldn't bear to look at her as she looked ready to separate from him.
Rebecca walked towards him, a small smile across her face. Billy, feeling her move closer, turned towards her as she snapped him a salute. He returned the gesture, a half-hearted smile appearing on his face. They held the position for what seemed like hours, neither of them wanting to leave the other.
Rebecca was the first to move, dropping her hand and walking confidently towards the trees, still smiling as she thought of the time she spent with Billy. She was preparing herself for the next mission, and to leave Billy for good. That realisation saddened her greatly; the great deal of commitment they held to help save each others lives had created a strong bond between them, but she knew splitting up was for the best. Her smile fell and she could feel tears form in her eyes; she really didn't want to leave him.
"Thank you, Rebecca," whispered Billy, aiming a thumbs up at her back, before going the opposite way, his smile also faltering. He was losing the only person in the world who believed his story. He was leaving behind his only friend. He was leaving behind the most amazing person he had met in a long time. He was leaving behind a woman he was beginning to love.
It just didn't seem right to leave her. She was going to enter a new facility with unknown hell awaiting her. The effort they both put in to save each others lives seemed wasted to Billy, if she was hurt in this new place.
He stopped in his tracks, his thoughts processing at a wild rate. What if her team mates aren't there when she arrives? What if there are monsters as bad as the ones we saw at the Training Facility? What if she becomes infected with the virus? What if she is killed?
Billy stiffened at the last thought. He couldn't bare to think that Rebecca could be killed after the hellish night they had just been through. His mind was made up.
He span around and began running the way she had just left, through the forest of huge trees. He didn't have to run long, before he saw her tiny frame just ahead of him, walking slowly through the dried in leaves of the forest. Billy's heart sped up as he sprinted for her.
"REBECCA!" He yelled with all the air in his lungs. She stopped and slowly turned around, to be greeted by the strong arms of the ex-Lieutenant hoisting her lightly off of the ground and bringing her into a warm embrace. She threw her arms around him too, letting the heat of his strong body warm her up in the freezing breeze.
"Billy, why-" She wasn't able to finish her answer, before Billy planted his lips onto her own. Her initial reaction was shock, until she realised that this was what she wanted. She felt his arms hold her tighter, and she wrapped her own around his neck, feeling herself melt into the moment.
Billy knew at that moment he had made the right decision by chasing after her. The feel of her soft warm lips and her small body seemed to place him a dream world. They held the position for a few moments, his hands caressing her full body, whilst hers began to stroke his face. Rebecca was the one to break it, her accepting smile making Billy beam with joy as he tried to calm his breathing.
"Well, that was, unexpected," she grinned, fixing her short hair. Billy began to smooth down her hair with his own hand; he had wanted nothing more than to touch it, the softness and texture of it making him want to be with her more.
"Rebecca," he began, before sighing and dropping his hand, "I don't want you going into that mansion alone. I…I have a bad feeling about it."
Rebecca's smiled disappeared as she was taken back to reality. "So do I," she said, "But my friends are in there. I have to go back to them-"
"Let me go with you," he interjected; at least if he were there, he would make sure she was safe.
"Billy, no!" she cried, her hands placing themselves on his chest, "You can't! You're a wanted felon! I don't want you to be taken in, which is what will no doubt happen if you come with me!"
Billy looked at her, locking gazes with her. The sentence, the execution, the horrors of what they had just been through, none of that seemed to matter right now. Indeed, there was a small voice in the back of his head that told him that what he was doing was wrong and idiotic, but he didn't care. He was standing with a beautiful young woman, who he had strong feelings for, and didn't want to leave her. Nothing mattered except that he was with her, going with her to wherever she went.
He wrapped his hands around her slender wrists, not removing his gaze from her eyes. "I'll go where you go, doll face."
Rebecca didn't even have time to react at the pet name that she had grown to love as he took her in his arms and kissed her again. This kissed was short-lived, however, at the sound of a helicopter flying low above them.
"My team!" she called, excitement beginning to flow through her. She looked at Billy, who was smiling meekly at her.
"C'mon," he said, "We need to get you back."
Rebecca looked at him, feelings of love and determination making themselves known as she simply stated: "I won't let them take you Billy."
Billy beamed at her; she was finally accepting that he could not leave her.
She grabbed his wrist and began to lead him into the direction of the eerie mansion, both of them not realising what horrors were waiting in store for them…
Ok, so I had this idea for a while to write a story about Rebecca and Billy, were he to follow her to the Spencer Estate. I won't be surprised if people have already done this idea on FanFic, but I thought there would be no harm in trying it myself. I hope you guys liked it :)
Oh, and to those who are reading my other story, I haven't stopped working on it, I just felt that I should have one more story on my profile thing; plus there are a few people out there who are doing more than one story :)
Anyway, I hope some of you would be kind enough to leave me a review and letting me know what you think :) Thanks!
