Chapter 1: The Girl and The Video

Daniel and Alicia Evans carried the unconcious 5 year old they found in their yard up to the spare bedroom.

"Mummy whose that?" Their 7 year old daughter Petunia asked as they laid her down.

"We don't know Pet." Mark said to his little flower. "We found her in the yard. Along with this video." He held out a rather heavy video cassette.

"Is she okay Daddy?" Petunia asked obviously concerned about the girl and not the tape because she loved to watch movies.

"We don't know. But, mummy and I are going to need some time alone to watch this. According to this note." He held in his hand a note that they found on the video. "It has information on her. And you know our rule about unknown movies."

"Yes Daddy." Petunia pouted. She wanted to know about the new girl too. But dutifully left the room. Daniel closed the door and locked it so Petunia wouldn't come bursting in. They both sat down in front of the bed after he put the tape in the TV/VCR combo that they bought for the room and on the screen came a much older looking version of the girl in the bed.

"My name is Alice." The young woman said to the camera. "I used to work for the Umbrella Corporation."

"What's Umbrella?" Alicia asked her husband.

"Its only a baby stage company now but its supposedly going into Pharmacuticals. Possibly computer products as well. Their goal is to have two out of every five househoulds to have at least one of its products." Daniel said to his wife. He was starting his new job as an accounting clerk in their UK branch next week.

"I was Chief of Security at a research facility called the Hive." As she said this schematics where pulled up of a huge underground lab.

"Blimey." Daniel said. "Look at the size of it."

"All this just for pharmacuticals?" Alicia said skeptically.

"A massive, underground lab where Umbrella illegally experimented with genetic manipulation and bio weaponry."

"Isn't this against International Law?" Alicia asked Daniel.

"Darling, do you honestly believe any country is abiding by that law? I bet even now our boys in the research labs are making some kind of super weapon to kill our enemies."

The video then showed hazmat suited workers handling virus containers.

"It was here that Umbrella created the T-Virus. Originally meant as a youth recapturing serum. Possibly a cure for diseases like Polio by reanimating the dead cells in the body. But Umbrella took this virus, and created an unstoppable super virus."

"YOU'VE PERVERTED MY RESEARCH!" Shouted a man in a wheelchair to several men in black suits and sunglasses.

There was an incident." Alice continued as a man on the screen threw a blue virus container and broke it. "A virus escaped. And everyone died."

"Bloody hell." Daniel muttered as a gas killed all the workers and a black woman who got stuck with her head in the elevator doors screamed as the elevator slammed upwards.

"The problem was...they didn't stay dead."

"I can't watch anymore." Alicia said as she stopped after the woman in the water filled area's eyes suddenly popped open.

"Hun, if this little girl really is this...Alice person...we can change this. Possibly ruin any chances Umbrella has of making this...Zombie virus." He said for lack of a better term. "If it gets too horrible, squeeze my hand." He gave her his hand.

"Allright. For her." Alicia said through tears as she looked back at the now sleeping peacefully five year old. They started the tape again. Going through all the "Adventures": for lack of a better word, of Alice. Through chronologies called "Resident Evil." At the end of "Retribution," a vortex opened up at the top of a ruined White House and sucked Alice inside.

"The Umbrella in this dimension is different the fates told me. It won't do the horrible things the Umbrella in my dimension did. But if it starts to go that way, you are to bring this tape to the Umbrella officials to prevent them from making that one big mistake." Alice said to her audience. "I'm supposed to birth a sort of "Savior" to an unknown world to the normal population. What this world is I don't know. But I bet it'll be one hell of a ride." She grinned and turned off the camera and the tape automatically rewound in the TV.

Daniel and Alicia looked at each other. Flabbergasted at what they just saw.

To Be Continued...

This popped in my head after watching Resident Evil: Retribution on Saturday. It kicked ass! I love Alice's character. I've thought about a way to make Alice be Lily for a while now but I couldn't get my head around it. This is the result. Hope its good!
