Ello, ello. Ok so this is my take on the 4th movie with my wonderful character Alida. I want to say thank you to all who have kept with me since this is the fourth story I have written with this character and story line. Which brings me to my next bit of information. If you have not read the previous stories, you might need to since you probably wont get 90% of whats going on. Seriously. Plus all of my stories fit together one right after the other, it's kind of nice. Anyway enough with the talk here is my 4th story on the 4th movie. Enjoy. Please review.
The further and further we flew away from Alice and her show down with Dr. Issac's, the more and more I realized I had made a mistake. I should have stayed with Alice.
"What are you thinking?" Claire said through the helicopter headset. I looked over at her as she controlled the helicopter.
"Hey, you think you can teach me how to operate this thing?" I asked.
"Why?" She asked a little confused."Your thinking about Alice." she stated, the realization.
"I should've stayed. You took care of your own convoy just fine without me. She's going to go after Wesker without me, I can feel it... and it's suicide." I said as I came to so many realizations at once. "When we get to Arcadia I'm going to go after her." Claire gave me a wide eyed expression then understood why I was doing what I was doing.
"You have to make sure that this switch is on while this one is off." She said beginning to explain the basics of flying an aircraft. After she finished explaining it K-mart had caught onto my plan.
"Your leaving us too?" She yelled over the helicopter, with tears in her eyes. I leaned over to her and grabbed her hand. I looked into her eyes as the tears fell.
"Dahlia, your strong. I have to go help Alice and then I will be back with her and we will live our lives in Arcadia." I said, feeling a pang of guilt for wanting to leave. She nodded her head and squeezed my hand before letting it go.
"We'll be there in 20 minutes." Claire said with watery eyes. I knew how she felt, she felt like everything was falling apart. Betty, Otto, L.J., Chase, Mikey, Carlos and countless others had died under our rule. Alice was gone, I was leaving, it was falling apart. We all sat in silence and listened to the beat of the helicopter blades.
"Holy shit!" Claire said as we reached a field that was covered with tons of helicopters and planes.
"Well, that's my cue." I said taking off the headset and placed it on the seat I was on.
"I thought you were taking this helicopter." Claire said. I shook my head.
"If Alice gets here before I find her, she'll need to know you guys made it here." I said explaining.
"So you're just going to jump out of the plane?" Claire asked with a kidding smirk.
"That's the idea." I said as I got ready to jump. Claire gave me a wide eyed expression, shocked at my apparent stupidity.
"Why not wait til we land?" Claire asked.
"I've been trained to do this." I said trying to assure her. I was about to jump before Claire grabbed my shirt. "Claire?" I asked with frustration and turned to look at her. She took off her sunglasses and gave them to me.
"Take them. In case you meet someone unfriendly, they wont see your eyes and jump to conclusions." She said with her smirk. We linked hands like her and Carlos had before his unfortunate death.
"Thank you. I'll see you all later." I said with a smile and let go of her hand. I turned to the side and jumped. The cold Alaskan air rushed around me and made me feel free. I landed perfectly and then lost my footing and hit the ground.
"That was a bad idea." I said aloud. I stood up and walked to the nearest plane. It had enough gas so I decided to take it. I sat in the seat and tried to remember everything that Claire had taught me.
"Flip that on, flip that the other way and turn this thingie." I muttered the directions aloud. The planes propellers began to turn, I smiled at my success and began to start moving and took off. I put on the sunglasses that Claire had given me. I hadn't even thought of the possibility of meeting people other than Alice or people who already knew my 'condition'. Thank God for Claire.
"Well, this isn't so bad." I said as I steadied out the plane and set the coordinates to the umbrella facility outside of Vegas. I decided to stay along the coast, for some reason the look of the water soothed me. I let out a breath and looked at the water below. I would have loved to take Angie to the warm California beach. She would have loved too wear a swim suit and play in the water without freezing to death, like the other beaches we had gone to.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...
The sound shook me out of my thoughts. Panicked I looked around at the switches and the board. Everything was good except for the red flashing light that went with the beeping. The plane was running out of fuel.
"Shit!" I screamed. I went to inland. Hopefully I could spot a fuel station, or an airport and fuel up before I crashed. When the clouds cleared the tall buildings of LA greeted me. Smoke and destruction had ravaged the city of angels. I looked at the ground below, zombies were scattered through out the city.
"Great, Perfect." I said not finding a place to land. I spotted the airport and started to fly in that direction, when the plane jerked and dropped 200 or so feet, but stayed in the air. It did it again, then I knew I was going down. I looked up too see if I was going to crash into anything before the plane hit the ground. A building that looked like a prison was to the side of me. I stared at it as I flew by and tried to turn back to it. A 'Help Us' sign was painted on the roof.
"Could there still be people alive?" I asked myself as the plane went down. I opened the overhead door and put on the only parachute. I jumped out of the plane as it kept falling and let the parachute open. I flowed like an angel to the city below. Well, a violent angel. My guns fully loaded and my knife clean and ready to kill. I held to of the handguns as I glided to the ground, shooting the first zombie that came towards me. I unhooked the parachute and ran to the building that had the 'Help Us' sign.
