Resident Evil; the Dead City

Heart of Seraphina

Disclaimer: I don't own Resident Evil. However, Patrick, James and "T" Roger are mine.

Chapter One

Somewhere in the USA, Patrick J. Miller, James Masters and "T" Roger are on vacation… doing God knows what. In a tank-like jeep, Patrick was driving into an unknown town when some sort of large animal jumped out in front of him.

"Wha…" Patrick said as he swerved the jeep out of the way.

On the other side of town

James, along with "T" Roger, was looking at some sleazy bars.

"Hey James, I have to go to Umbella to get my medications."

"Okay."

"T" Roger then left James as the other went into a bar. When he entered, out of curiosity, he checked the amount of ammunition he had in the gun his sister gave him. Seventeen bullets in the Red 9.

Crunch.

At the sudden noise, James looked up and noticed that there was no one at the bar. Glancing around, he headed to the back door where he heard the sound. On the way, he found five misplaced boxes with about ten bullets per box. 'What the fuck' James thought, wondering who the hell would leave ammunition lying around. Shrugging, he picked up the ammunition and walked into the back room. Only to discover some guy was getting up from his position in front of the corpse.

"What happened here?" James asked the guy.

The unknown person turned around and James saw that he was missing half his face. Sinew and bone was clearly visible.

"Arrgg," moaned the man.

"Holy!" James screamed and, using the Red 9 as a blunt object, destroyed half the man's head.

"What was that thing?" he asked, looking at the bodies of the deceased. There wasn't much to see of the one James killed; he was partly decayed with a blacktail on him. The other had a lot of skin and bones missing, as if something was eating him… or he was in a bar fight. 'If I hold up here, there might be more of them. I should go to the police station.' James thought as he looked out the window.
