Chapter 1 The Ally
Shots broke the dull silence of Raccoon City on the evening of August 12th 1998, but the silence it disturbed was not the dull humdrum silence of a ordinary suburb settling in for the evening. No this silence contained something dark... something evil. The city if you wanted to still call it that was no longer inhabited by what you would call "living humans". No it was inhabited by the walking dead, who walk without tire and feast without end, there delicacy? Human flesh. The city.... or hell would probably be a more appropriate name at this point in time was not derived completely of normal human beings. No there were several people still in the city fighting.... most for survival..... for the very right of existence over the massive mobs of not only zombies but things that only exist in the realm of a small child's nightmare. However some walk the desecrated streets with a more insightful mission. A mission with a target..... a mission with a end..... a mission with purpose.
Rebecca
Rebecca Chambers stared down at the short, slim, black haired young women she had just gunned down in cold blood. One shot had knocked her down but she was attempting to stand. She fired again and again. The 3d shot was the trick. The zombie sank to the earth and with a final moan closed its eyes and lay silent. Rebecca sighed "I've gotta be more careful" she thought silently "i wish I had some of my team here. I always feel better knowing theres someone watching my back."
She turned holding a flash light aloft with her left hand while holding her pistol in her right. She edged on to the street in front of her waiting for the sound of dragging feet or worse..... quick foot steps or loud screeches. However the street remained silent accept for the low crackle of the burning car to the right of her. Fire was now the soul light source for her outside of flash lights and lanterns. The power had died along with the city. She took a few more quick steps placing herself in the middle of the street. She stopped and listened.
"thump thump thump thump thump" echoed from the alleyway she had just emerged from.
"Shit" she yelled turning and aiming at the alley way "a hunter"
The baboon like monster emerged from the alley way with astounding speed. The hairs on the back of Rebecca's neck stood on end as it bared its teeth and let loose its resonating terrifying war cry. She opened fire leveling 4 shots at the beast 3 of which hit the area surrounding its face. It launched itself into the sky straight towards Rebecca she started to shoot again but was to late the hunter landed on top of her knocking her onto her back, sending her pistol and flashlight flying. but something was wrong why wasn't she being torn to pieces. She pushed the beast off of her and scrambled for her gun forgetting her flashlight for the moment. She stood up walked over and prodded it with her foot..
"Dead?" she said out loud as she turned from side to side looking for her savior. No one was there. "Is anybody out there?" she called loudly then immediately clapped her hands to her mouth as she herd the groans of zombies began emerging from many of the crumbling buildings on the block.
"What the hell was I thinking?" she thought as her heart beat accelerated as zombies coated the street in front of her. Behind her she heard zombies emerging from the alley ways on both sides of the street. She turned and looked at the hordes emerging from what she realized was her only escape route. She leveled her pistol at the zombies to the left of her. The ones emerging from the alley way she was headed towards when she had been attacked. Before she could even fire a shot something amazing started happening. The zombies began to fall backwards and lay motionless of there own accord. Of the 7 that had emerged 5 had done so, and now the 6th had as well.
She waited but the 7th kept hobbling towards her. She aimed and put a single round right between the eyes of the zombie. She wasted no time, she charged for the alley way leaping over the bodies of fallen zombies. She entered the alleyway and immediately stumbled. She had tripped on the uneven ground. However it only took her a second to recover. She sprinted down the alley passing a large wooden door that had not yet been ripped from its hinges. She was several feet past it when a loud bang told her the door had been thrown open. She wheeled around expecting to be face to face with another hunter, or worse..... Instead she caught a glimpse of a young man who was running at her full pelt. As he passed her he slowed.
"Follow me friend, I know a safe place" he whispered panting slightly.
Rebecca followed without hesitation. This man was no zombie and no monster and if he had a place to hide. Well he was doing a lot better than her at that moment. They emerged onto a large street however Rebecca was unsure what street exactly.
"Follow, stay close, keep quiet and to the shadows, and for gods sake don't set off any car alarms. Understand?" he whispered to her and by dim glow of a nearby flaming car she could make out some of his features.
She merely nodded her head as she examined the first truly "living" human being she had seen in nearly a week. "Young was right" she thought "He cant be more than 20". He was a tall man 6 foot 1 or 2 she wasn't sure. He was slim and lanky, but not scrawny, no even in this poor light she could tell he was well built. He was clad in a black Teeshirt with the words "Def Leppard – Rock of Ages" written across in large stylized type, blue jeans and sneakers. What you would expect a teenager to wear accept, in his hands he held what appeared to be some manner of shot gun. On his right side was a holster in which was some kind of pistol however in this light she couldn't tell what kind. However the thought of what kind of handgun he had was wiped away as he turned to reveal a gun she hadn't noticed. Slung across his back was a long range riffle with a scope mounted on top and what she guessed had to be a silencer and a flash suppressor on the end of it. It was nearly impossible to tell in the dark. This explained why the hunter and zombies had died inexplicable, and why she had heard and seen nothing.
"That was yo-" she attempted to ask quietly as she caught back up with him.
"Yes now shoosh someone....something is going to hear you" he corrected himself.
They continued silently along the street for several blocks. The street was deserted. She was just beginning to wonder if her new ally was lost when he said..
"Down here" his voice was tense and uneasy. He turned towards a alleyway that was wide and void of any source of light.
"Dammit" she thought "i never picked my flashlight back up" as she thought this the man took her gun free hand and said quietly.
"I can see don't worry just let me guide you." he took a few steppes forward pulling her with him.
She felt herself blushing as he pulled her along "whats this guys deal? And were is he taking me? And what reason do I have to trust this guy?...." she thought for a moment "he saved my life.... I guess that will have to do for now." as she thought this he stopped and she herd him fumbling with what sounded like keys, then she herd the familiar inserting and turning of a key in a lock. He pulled her a few more feet then she felt her hand leave his as he turned back to the door. He locked bolted and dead bolted the door before placing a large piece of wood in front it held in place between two brackets.
"There" he said before turning to face her."We'll be safe here for now at least"
"Safe from the monster.... maybe" she thought "but what about me? Whats going to protect me from you?"
