-Ally Dark Ashford
Chapter one
A small female sat in a room full of plush toys, her mind focused on her plush cat. Snuggling it close to her pale face, her platinum blonde hair fell over it covering its artificial nose. Chuckling she straightened her dress pants, un-tucked her dress shirt and carrying the stuffed animal with her. As she looked around the room looking for her father she smiled. Where did he go?
She stepped out of the room, her small steps echoing down the corridor as she did so, making an eerie almost illusive sound. She then turned a corner of the hall and strode across the red carpet before stopping on the staircase balcony above receptionists desk. Looking down from the balcony perch upon the staircase, she led herself down the staircase and stopped. There was normally never were many people around yet there was a whole room full now… why was that?
Oh, well. It wasn't important right? Not like her dad was a complete psychopathic nutcase or anything.
She smiled at the receptionist whom smiled back in return.
"Good day miss Ally," the receptionist spoke to the young Ashford.
"Good morning Miss Fletcher," Ally nodded, leaving the woman behind.
Pressing on she saw her father enter the room, Ally smiled running over and leaping into her father's arms.
"Good morning dear," he said in a female voice before clearing his throat and talking normally, "I'm sorry you know how I get," he chuckled.
"I know you just miss momma,"
Alfred nodded snuggling his dear one into his chest and then reluctantly setting her back down upon the floor. Looking around he commenced to say something about the building of something new. Ally already knew what was happening, and she already knew no one would make it out of the construction alive.
Ally began playing with some dogs from the outside fence; throwing them scrap meats and watching them run around crazily. The dogs were used as guards and for experimentation at the military facility they had on this island. As Ally looked about the gated part of the facility and saw the tank in the middle of the yarded complex, she couldn't help but feel happy. Her father said she'd be able to see her mother soon! Ally hugged one of the dogs with joy kissing it on its black nose before singing, "Once there was a friendly but naïve king, whom wed a very nasty queen, the king was loved but~ the queen was feared…" and strode off to bed.
A horrible storm brewed outside, lightning flashed and rain pelted the windows with such force it was surprising they didn't break. Ally tossed in her bed, the young one being terrified of thunderstorms. She hid her head beneath the pillow and whimpered. The storms had never been this bad before… had they?
Glancing over at the window, she took in the sight of a lighting bolt striking a tree in the grounds and causing it to collapse. Ally let out a shaky breath and slowly, the five year old slid out of bed and stumbled towards the window. Her mother had always loved them… well… at least that was what father had said.
As she shook slightly, she began to smile as she watched the rain dance carelessly upon the window. With another flash of lightening and a booming thunder to follow, she calmed down ever so slightly, felling as if the storm were singing her a lullaby.
She straightened out her blue silken nightgown and headed back towards her bed. Another boom, only it sounded different. Ally stopped and listened, screams could be heard as well. But… father was never up this early or stayed awake this long to kill and shred people… something was horribly wrong. Ally could feel this danger in her bones.
She stopped turning slowly back towards the window as another ear piercing scream was heard. Ally covered her ears and watched as a tree fell in on her room. She ran as fast as she could to the opposite side grabbing the shelf which hung on her wall as the floor beneath where the tree had landed, collapsed. She let out a wail of petrified horror as she felt the cold rain smack her body and the dizziness that came with being so high up wash over her.
She felt her hands start to slip and she dug her nails into the wood. She clenched her teeth and her eyes watered as her nails felt splinters beneath them. She looked down and gave a cry realizing how high up she truly was…
Slipping away from the grip she fell several feet into the soft leaves of the tree smacking her arm on a branch. She gave a cry and looked around.
People were running around like chickens with here heads cut off screaming about some outbreak. But what type of outbreak could it be? If it was the dogs, couldn't they just round them up like usual? If it was the ant hill all they had to do was talk to her or her father…
What was so terrifying it sent everyone…?
She froze, seeing a man get jumped and tackled to the ground by her favorite dog will. She held back a painful cry as the dog tor at the man's throat, sending red blood oozing from his neck and into puddles on the ground. She watched as the creature, whose brown fur was now covered in blood, while his white ears were now raw and his once blue eyes now shone red with bloodlust, tore open the scientists' stomach to feast upon the intestines.
Ally slid back a few feet and felt her arm twinge. As she looked she saw that she'd made a decent sized gash in her arm, she wasn't too worried, knowing it would heal itself in a matter of minutes, but she was smart enough to know blood attracted blood thirsty predators.
Her heart thumped in her chest, as she looked around for a place to run and hide. She stopped and looked at the military base that was a mere few yards or so away. She could hide out there until it all cleared up. Her father would surely find her there, knowing of the facility's high tech security and B.O.W.s.
Ally prepared herself to run but shook as she heard footsteps behind her. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked behind her to see Miss Fletcher the secretary.
"Oh, it's just you miss Fletcher…" Ally chuckled as she peered at the dirty woman, whose brown curly hair had now been weighed down by the rain, "Miss Fletcher?"
She lunged at Ally as Ally scrambled several feet backwards into the tree. Had she gone nuts too? Looking into the woman's eyes, she saw the same blood lust behind them along with a piece of her face missing. Ally shook her head and ran towards the complex, catching the dogs' sight along with the secretaries. Ally panted as she neared the complex, feeling the dog's breath hot on her heals, darting inside and slamming the door, she heard the dog smack into it as well with a sickening crack. Some growls were heard but soon disappeared with the sound of crunching bones.
Ally wiped the wet hair from her forehead as she glanced around the complex for the security station. She was cold, wet, scared, somewhat hungry and really craving a nice hot cup of hot chocolate. She looked at the wound on her arm which had ceased to exist anymore, being nothing more than a blood stain in her clothing now. Pushing her hair behind her again, she realized she'd left her glasses in her room, she shook her head weakly. Her vision was horrible without the aid of them. Her reasoning for running so well in the beginning was because the rain made it hard to see anyway because it was so heavy.
Though luckily she had an extra pair she'd left in the security office in case of an emergency. As she walked over the tiled floor, she spotted the office door which was a nice wooden one of oak and a striped design. Walking inside she went over to one of the dresser drawers near the printing machine and reached inside pulling out a pair of red rimmed glasses, sliding them onto her face.
Letting out a sigh of relief she walked towards the back of the security office to see one of the security guards standing there. Smiling she walked over, "Think you could help me? There's a bunch of weirdoes running around outside and they're trying to hurt everyone and …" she stopped looking at the man as he bent over a desk and started to vomit up blood.
"W…wha?" she stuttered.
The man turned around his face extremely pale, "N…no… ge… get… out….," he grumbled.
Ally looked at the odd man with curiosity, seeing that he was holding his stomach as well. Ally looked around seeing the green herb plant that umbrella had conjured through experimentation to find an instant healing cure for wounds. Grabbing the plant she mashed it up and went over to the man to apply it to the wound. He coughed up blood once more and his back started to grow outwards. Ally took a few steps back and peered at him with frightened eyes. He began to turn yellow and his right arm grew to an outrageous level, backing out of the room she escaped through the door as the monster let out a terrifying roar. Ally panted, maybe there would be in the biohazard room? No that was a stupid idea, whom would be in there anyway? Well, it was worth a shot… if anything maybe there would be something that she could use to defend herself. Walking back towards the entrance but making an immediate left before reaching the door and entering a hallway with stairs.
Walking up the stairs she went down another hall and entering the laboratory. Inside she saw that there were several tanks full of some embryonic like lizards and such, A few men were inside checking out the place. She banged on the glass but they didn't hear her. Ally soon gave up on the men, they would probably only slow her down anyway. Not that they were any help…
She then saw a combat knife. However, Ally had no experience with weapons whatsoever, only seeing her father fire a sniper rifle at the shooting range in there back yard a few times but that was all.
Grabbing it she looked around for something to hold it in for when she ran. Spotting some duct tape she took the soft silk tie that hung around her night gown and taped the sheath to it. Keeping the blade out for now she walked towards the exit and looked back at the door she'd just came from, "I hope there smart enough to leave while they can…"
Ally darted throughout the complex looking for her father in the air port portion of the place. Shouting for him in areas she knew were safe. The knife she held was currently sheathed, not having to have been used so far. Walking along the board walk to the other side of the complex, she saw a large steel box held tightly wedged between two walls. Passing by and crawling through a crawl space, she wound up on the other side. Looking at the planes which lined the cockpit she sighed.
GRRRR….
She stopped, "what was that?" she thought to herself.
Turning around she spotted a creature the size of her, it was large as well being pink in color. Ally took a few steps back, what was the thing?
It let out a growl as a large pink tongue protruded from its mouth, sharp teeth accompanying it. Ally saw it also had a brain visible to the naked eye. That had to be one of its' weak points. Ally shakily drew the knife from her belt and looked at the creature, whose claws were scraping the ground making a deadly metallic scrape as it did so.
Ally gulped, her first fight with god knows what. She'd much rather be going head to head with the zombie like creatures outside. Taking a few steps forward the creature charged and shoved its' claws into the metal flooring as Ally dove out of the way barley missing those deadly claws. Turning around she went over and stabbed it in the back making blood seep from it viciously.
Flinging her off its' back it growled and lashed out with a long tongue, whipping her off her feet and onto her face. Blood seeped from her nose as she groaned and rolled away on her side the creature snapping at the previous place she'd been. Maybe this was one of the lickers her father had told her about? Though the complex only had one out of all of the monsters there.
Ally stood once more and stood her ground as it lunged, extending her arm with the knife outwards and stabbing it in the brain. It squealed and staggered back. Ally panted frowning and ran forwards running the knife into it's' head again and then slashing into its brain with a downwards thrust.
Knocking the small female back with its claws Ally winced as three claw marks crossed her stomach and chest. She coughed and was worried to spy blood from her mouth. The creature however stumbled and fell over. She was lucky to have caught it in a weakened state most likely.
Ally's vision blurred as she fell backwards over a railing and hit something soft and squeaky, like leather. She felt the warm blood seep over her stomach as she closed her eyes. It was surprisingly warm where she was, and comfy… she was so tired…
Closing her eyes she snuggled down into the spot she lay and fell asleep.
