It was raining that night, when I met him. But why couldn't I realize that after?
CHAPTER 1- Bad day gone worse
I was running home in the rain without any cover-up. No umbrella or suitable shoes. In fact, I was wearing business attire. Slip-on high heels with a knee-length black skirt. I had on a white long-sleeve button up shirt which was now completely see-through.
But of course I'd let nobody notice my lace unmentionables under my black blazer, it matching my skirt and black heels. My short, choppy, black hair that was once tied up in a neat bun in the beginning of the day was now a messy, sloppy, ponytail.
If I had known It'd rain today, of course I'd have brought more comfortable attire along with an umbrella, but of course things had just walked right past my mind as I woke up extremely late this morning. Or so I thought. I have this habit of forgetting to reset my clock.
As I ran through the rain, I'm nearing my apartment when I realize I left my purse at work.
"Shit! This is really not my day…" I start making my way back to work, since I left my purse there after all.
It having all my money, my keys, my keycard to get inside the fucking building. Stuff like this happens rarely. But only on days like this. I forget to check my calendar when it says it.
The 15th of October.
Also the death of my entire family. They died in an incident in Raccoon City. The bad thing about it is I was there to witness their deaths. My innocent younger brother, Charles. My twin sister Melissa. My father, Jacob and my Mother, Victoria all died…eaten by flesh eating zombies. I'm not all to sure myself but I somehow survived that apocalypse.
The incident happened 6 years ago when I was 17. Now that I'm 23 with a decent paying job and a comfortable living home, things have been going pretty well, except…I'm a bit lonely. I don't go out much nor do I have many friends. Things changed when I moved to a different city. Since basically everything was lost in the Raccoon City incident with my family, the BSAA helped who was left of the survivors (not many. Only about 3) and gave them the money and sheltering for their daily lives.
I would usually do the same routine everyday, except on October 15th when something ALWAYS had to go wrong. Something that kept me away from my memory of my family. As the years past and the awful October 15ths washed by, I slowly began to forget the faces of my family. Something I had feared for a while was that very thing. The memory of my family was the only thing keeping my soul in my small, slender, pale body.
I ran through the rain, nearing the entrance to the Facility. Seeing that of course I had forgotten my keycard in the building, I had to take the other entrance where the security unit underground would scan my fingerprint and voice pattern for identification. Pretty easy access.
Once I was inside, chills ran up my spine when the cool air rushed through me like a blinding storm. Slowly, I walked to my office which of course, was unlocked…thankfully. I let out a sigh of relief as I settled down in my office chair, trying to catch my breath from the running. At the moment, I didn't care that my seat was getting soaked. I just wanted the day to end.
I looked over my desk when something caught my eye. A pink sticky note that I'm positive wasn't there before. I lazily picked the note up and read to myself in a mumbled tone.
'Tomorrow. October 16th. Meeting with the boss and 10 A.M. 2nd floor. Room 107'
"Oh…Yeah…" I'm supposed to be getting promoted tomorrow. Finally, something to look forward to after all.
After resting my eyes closed for a bit and settling down my mild temper, I got up out of the seat and grabbed my things, leaving my office and locking the door. "Now that I had money on me, I'm taking a fucking taxi."

The ride was short but I was glad to have arrived home. I paid the taxi driver and thanked him. There wasn't anyone near the entrance of my apartment today. It was strange, there are usually many folks roaming the area, rain or shine. I ignored it and trudged my way up the stairs.
I'm not taking the risk of taking the elevator and getting stuck or something. When I finally made it to the 5th floor, I swung the door open stepped inside and dropped everything on the floor. I was exhausted! I kicked the door closed with my heel, slipped my high heels off at the door and ran over to the sofa and plopped down on it.
"Finally…rest~" I fell asleep on the sofa but I didn't stay asleep throughout the entire night.
There were faint noises, rustling in the shadows. I heard my name being called.
"Alyssa…Alyssa" The voice sounded familiar, yet I couldn't place a finger on where I've heard it before.
I squirmed around, still asleep. Then I suddenly hit the floor, falling of the jade green sofa.
"Ouch! -the hell?" I rubbed the back of my head and winced in pain, feeling my butt grow numb from my fall.
I sighed and gazed outside; darkness still crowded the sky. The rain had stopped and I was glad of that. I checked the time on my watch, '2:36' and I arose from where I fell and went to go bathe. I'm pretty sure I'd caught a cold by now. My throat started to feel sore already.
I didn't care. Even after all that happened yesterday, I'm still going for a walk. After I bathed, I dressed in comfort clothes. An all black tank top and of course lacey bra straps shown. I squeezed into a pair of dark blue denim skinny jeans and tied my short shoulder-length hair into a ponytail. I grabbed my black Doc Martins and slipped those on with ease as they been worn out and space in the boot became easier to find.
As I was getting ready to head towards the door, I grabbed my black stretch zip-up jacket and my keys and exited the building. I took the elevator this time, feeling relieved that the 15th is finally over…until next year that is.

The rain had stopped but the moist weather hadn't faded. The moon was completely devoured by gray clouds and my path was darkened. I could still see…just barely. I began making my way to an eatery that stayed open late. There was one down the street just around that corner.
"So many puddles…" I said to myself, stepping in most of them. I tucked my hands into the pocket of my jacket and walked a bit slower, enjoying the moist, stickiness of the air.
"Alyssa …" I froze as I heard my name being called. It echoed through my ears, frightening me. Not many people knew my name. And the people who do I'm sure have already gone home or are far away from this city.
"Alyssa…" My name was called again. I looked around, and began to panic. My heart rate increased and then I noticed the streets were empty. My eyes widened with fear.
"W-where's everyone gone?" I began to tremble but I continued to move forward.
"I-I'm sure someone'll be inside the eatery…yeah." I assured myself and continued to walk but quickening my pace.
"Alyss~a…" This time as my name was called, whoever did so prolonged the "s" as the slithery tongue of a snake. The echo pierced my ears as if they were shouting into my ear. Whoever wanted my attention was close. I turned slightly to the side and noticed an ally way.
Curious, I walked down the damp, muddy, ally as I heard my name being called multiple times. It began to annoy me and frighten me all at the same time.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" I shouted and suddenly a gust of air wiped up out of nowhere. I shut my eyes tightly and clenched my teeth, covering my arms and shivering from the sudden unexpected cold.
"You should do just fine, my dear Alyssa." I gasped, opening my eyes and coming face to face with piercing red venom colored eyes.
"M-my God! Who are you!" I shouted, walking back but bumping into a garbage can and knocking it over, along with myself.
"Who? Me? Oh dear, lest you concern yourself with who I am. You won't need to know for very long." I opened my mouth to say something but I felt something hard come in contact with my ribcage and I blacked out, going completely unconscious.
I can't remember what happened…
I clenched my eyes tight, feeling the heat radiating from a bright white light from above me. I slowly opened my eyes and covered them with my hand. I tried adjusting to the brightness of the room before I started looking around.
Finally adjusting to the new lighting, I rub my eyes and look around. I was in a completely white room. It looked like I was in a hospital room. I looked to my left and see small screens displaying heart rates, blood pressure, ect.
I slid off the white bed which I slept in apparently, and I felt something tug at the skin of my arm that made me wince. I immediately noticed the IV in my arm and sweat drops began to form on my forehead. 'Did someone find me…passed out on the street or something? That'd explain an awful lot.'
I let out a sigh and heard the sound of someone walking close. I turned towards the door that slid open and in walked a brunette female with a clip board in hand.
"Oh! It seems you're awake. I will let Dr. Wesker know immediately." I wanted to ask her many questions but before I could even open my mouth she came and went. Not even two seconds after the woman left, the door slid open again. But this time a man entered. An attractive one at that!
A smirk stretched across his thin lips as he sauntered over to me. Under the bright light his feature seemed to glow. His dirty blonde hair slicked back and shinning. 'Oh if only I could see his eyes.' I thought to myself as his eyes shielded by black shades.
No need in asking why wear sunglasses indoors. In this light, hell I wish I had a pair myself right now. As I came closer, his grin became wider gazing at the screens with my bodily information upon it.
"I'm surprised to see you awake, Ms. Charm." His sexy accented voice nearly brought tears to my eyes.
"Oh…um…What happened to me? And…am I in a hospital? Or-"
"I think it's better you not know if you cannot remember. And for now…yes, let's just say you're in a hospital." He smirked handsomely and walked back out the door with printed information from the screen behind me.
'How long have I been out? How far am I away from home? How did I get here? What…happened?' I racked my brain to try a remember what happened before I awoke on the bed here. I couldn't figure anything out.
I rubbed my temples and sighed, falling back onto the white bed dramatically. I wanted to go back home. I closed my eyes again and fell asleep without really knowing it.
