-Elizabeth's pov-
"Great, just perfect!" I yelled as soon as I got off of the phone with my superior. I grabbed my keys and stormed out the door. "I'm going out Oreo! Be back when I will! Hopefully Alice will be home before me!" I called before I shut my door saying good bye to the only living thing that still loved me for who I am. I then locked my garage door and turned around to open my Ford F-150 truck while pushing the button on the wall. I jumped, slid into my seat and putting the keys in and starting my baby up. My music automatically started playing Bad Girlfriend by Theory of a Dead Man. I pull out of my drive way and take off down one of the many streets of Raccoon City. My name is Elizabeth Hell. I have no memory of where I was born or who my parents were. All I know it that one day, I felt like I had awoken from a long dreamless sleep in my bed, with my cat purring in my ear. Ever since that time , when I woke up ten years ago, I have been working as a clean-up crew for the Umbrella Corporation.
All too soon, I reach the police station where my team and I were to meet within the next twenty minutes, suited up and ready to go. Heading to the "back room" that only my team and I, along with very few selected officers, know about. "Hey, Elizabeth!" My friend Jill Valentine called. I paused and waved over to her, a fake smile on my face. Fortunately Jill bought it and gave me a signal that said that someone had walked in not two minutes before me. I nodded my thanks, stalled another thirty seconds, then walked into the girls locker room. Walking down the row and turn left I found my locker as it was when I last visited it, all rust patched and graying. Upon entering my combo, I heard the "back door" open and a voice call out, "Hey! If anyone's in here! Mind helping me with this hair thing?" I quickly walked down the row, turned right, ending up behind the person, pulling the band from her hand and wrapped her hair in it and pulled it up to the base of her neck and went back to my locker as quickly as possible. "Hey, thanks man…" The other girl said when she turned around to find an empty space. I opened my locker, wincing as it gave a screech, and grabbed my uniform and walked away, not bothering to close my locker, mainly to spare my ears. I found a free stall and quickly locked it behind me before removing my jeans. I had my shirt half way up before I even looked up to the girls face looking down at me. "You suck at fully securing the area." She said teasingly, her bangs somewhat hiding her eyes. "How long have you been there?" I asked her as I continued to remove my shirt. "The entire time." She said drawing out her words. I had a scowl on my face as I pull on my uniform. "Huh, bit baggy on me." I muttered under my breath. "You have been eating?" I was asked. "No, I haven't." I told her. "Why?" The girl asked as I walked out of my stall, her exiting the one she had been watching me from. "Just haven't been hungry." I said giving her a 'back off my case look' which she ignored and pressed on. "Bull-shit." She said, slightly raising her voice. "Look Rain, just leave me alone!" I shouted at her. I then stormed off to the "back room" hoping she wouldn't follow me. "This isn't over." She said. "I say it is." I told her turning to looking her in the eye. It was then that she got up in my space and stared me down. My pride and anger fed me enough strength that I was able to stand my ground and forget the closeness of our bodies and give her the same cold glare she was giving me. "This is not over, why aren't you eating?" She asked me, almost growling it getting centimeters from my face. "You should know very well why." I hissed to her with venom to kill dripping to the floor. "Oh that's low. That's really low." She growled at me, I could taste her breath in my mouth. "You wanted to know, so don't growl at me for speaking the truth." I hissed at her through my teeth and me not being very comfortable with the closeness, stepped back from her as if to leave. She grabbed my arm and spun me to face her only to duck her head to doge my right hook. "I'm not done with this conversation." She whispered to me. I could feel my knees start to get weak at her roughness and whispering voice. "But I am," I said quickly, "and you're all ready to go and what not why not go find J.D or something?" I snarled at her. "You know what I think I will, just to piss you the hell off!" She yelled at me while storming away out the back door to the "back room" of the "back room". "I've been pissed ever since I got that stupid phone call!" I yelled back as the door shut. I then went around a corner, removed the jacket we all wore, grabbed a pair of boxing gloves, and took two strides to the punching bag with my fist already drawn back.
Five minutes later, I'm leaning against the wall panting with a water bottle in hand. "Number one said it's time to move people!" Rain called into the room without even looking to see if anyone was even in here. I replace the jacket back onto my body and went outside disposing the water bottle into the trash can on the way out. "Ah, there you are Elizabeth, is the punching bag still alive?" Number one asked me as I approached him. "Yes sir. How'd you know?" I asked him. "It shook the men's side of the "back room" violently." He told me with a laugh. I gave a nervous chuckle and my apology. "Why bother apologizing when you're gonna do it again later?" Rain asked me. I ignored her and went to check up on the medic, making sure she had all of her supplies and that they were loaded. Next I helped Kaplan with his computer gizmos. J.D I didn't even look at, the other two said that they didn't need any help, and Number one gave me the worst order he could've given. "Go help Rain, make sure all of her equipment's loaded and everything, you know the drill." I scowled, rolled my eyes and went over to Rain to "help" her. "What do you want?" She asked when I drew near her. "Just doing my job." I told her. "Great, load those and that's all." She told me, pointing at two canvas bags of ammo. I nodded to her and did as told not even taking a minute. "Don't forget your favorite weapon." I said to her. I know she looked at me as I walked away, because she had forgotten to grab her hand gun. "Two minutes Ocampo!" I heard Number one yell. "Sir. Requesting permission to debrief the team." I said to Number one. "Granted." He said as he stood back among the rest of my team. I waited thirty seconds, going over everything in my head while buying Rain some time. "Alright, around twelve hundred hours the Red Queen's defense system went haywire and the Red Queen turned homicidal. The mission is to shut down, the Red Queen. Any survivors you find keep near you and we will return them to the surface. We have a total of three hours to complete the mission. Understood?" I asked. The entire team gave unison, "Yes ma'am!" Number one then came up and I stepped down to listen to the map details and who was in charge of what, and as always my multiple abilities allowed me to be anywhere I wanted to be on this mission, position wise. As soon as debriefing was done we loaded up the chopper and flew over to the mansion where we are suppose to meet up with the heads of security for their reports on the situation.
It's sunset and I'm not the pilot, Rain is. I'm just stuck in the passenger seat next to her. Instead of striking up a conversation with her, I just look outside my window to the setting sun, taking in all of the blended colours and having a familiar feeling arise from my memory. I relaxed and Rain took advantage of that. "You still watch the sunset?" She asked me. "Yeah." I told her, to calm to want to start anything. "Why?" She asked me. "It's soothing. Keeps me from wanting to be a bitch to you right now." I told her with a smile on my face, not once looking away. "Really now?" She asked a laugh to her voice. The feeling grew more familiar with her laughing voice. "Yup, look about what I said earlier." I turned my face to her. "Don't worry about it, its fine." Rain cut me off. "No it isn't. I should be able to control myself better." I told her. "Not everyone can control themselves." Rain told me. "Yeah, aren't we the perfect examples." I joked. "Yeah, probably." She laughed. An awkward silence fell over us. I went back to looking out my window and saw that we were almost to the destination. "Hey, land here." I said to her upon seeing Alice. "Why?" She asked me. "Alice just stepped outside." I told her while speaking into the radio resting on my collar bone. "Alright everyone lock and load." Number one said. I cocked my hand gun. "Masks on people we don't know if the defense gases are off or not." I added. We landed and everyone got out. "Squad one, take the left, squad two with me on the right." Number one ordered as we approached the mansion that was the secret entrance to The Hive. We walked quickly and the wind picked up and the birds scattered about the sky creating a black setting against the blood red sunset. 'Your last glimpse at light.' Filtered through my head. I paused to take one more look. "Keep moving!" Number one yelled at me. I then sprinted into the house as Alice was grabbed from behind and dragged inside. "Hurry it up." I said as I passed Rain. I then reached the house and jumped through the window. "Down!" I ordered knocking Alice out of the man hands I then had him pinned to the ground when everyone else came in. "I got this, you stick with Number one." Rain said. "Check his background." Number one ordered. "Who are you?" I asked him. "I'm a cop!" The guy yelled. I searched his pockets before I got up and pulled out a wallet like badge, and tossed it to Kaplan. "Not finding him on record." Kaplan said. "I just went through the training program they probably don't have me on file!" The man yelled. "Should I secure him here?" Rain asked while holding her hand gun to his head. "No. We take him with us." Number one said. "Area clear, no gas is left in the mansion." Kaplan called out to everyone. I was the first to remove my mask and see Alice in Number one's hand. "Take her." He said to me. I took her from him and checked her for any wounds she could possibly have gained. "Alice, report." I asked her. "She's suffering from the defenses and has no memory. I already tried." Number one said to me. "Yes sir." I said. "Prep for entry to the Hive." Number one ordered still keeping eye contact with Alice and I. "Hell! Move it!" Rain yelled at me. "Yeah, yeah!" I shouted at her. I helped the target cross the floor and down the steps. We moved silently and quickly down past the blast doors, Rain pausing to synchronize her watch with the timer. "Move it Ocampo." I said as I passed her. She smirked and we all continued on to the train that we were gonna take down. "Powers out." Kaplan called from the control room. "So fix it." I snapped at him. "I'm on it." Rain shouted while sticking a flashlight in her mouth before jumping into a hole in the floor. It's been about three minutes when J.D ducks his head down and I hear him say, "Jumpy?" Then a spark and J.D gave a yell of surprise. Next Rain came up and the door closes. "Stand clear!" Someone yelled. Rain walks over to the back door as the train starts moving. She struggles with it for a few moments, me sitting next to the target shaking my head a smile on my face. She stepped back for a break when she saw "Matt" glaring at her, "You got a problem?" She snarls at him, Matt looks away and J.D approaches with Number one. "How's that door coming along?" Number one asks. "Sealed shut sir." Rain told him. "Well, allow me." J.D said as he stepped up, his chest the size of watermelons making me sick. He messes with the door for about a minute before he gets it open and a male body falls onto him. In one clean move J.D has the body on the ground, all of us with guns pointed at it. I notice Alice was staring at him intently. "Do you remember him?" I asked her. "He's my husband." She said. "Wrong, he's your partner in protecting the Hive from above ground. Your marriage is just a cover. His name is Spence." I said to her harshly. I look at the ring on my right ring finger and remember when she gave it to me. I pulled out my other ring that I always keep in my body suit. "Put that away." Rain hissed in my ear. I simply just slid it on my left ring finger, since it was sized for that one. We quickly approached the other platform down in the Hive and unloaded the computer gizmo in which I took one part of the gear and Kaplan took the other, then two others took up the heaviest bag of them all. Number one and J.D went to the elevator and pried it open. After sticking their heads in J.D, said "Guess we're taking the stairs." I rolled my eyes and started walking forward; gun in hand, on alert. "Move it." I heard Rain order to Matt. I scowled but continued to move. Then we reached the floor with all of the labs on it, the direct route to the Red Queen. "Holy shit." I said as I exited the door. I walked down the hallway examining the orange liquid that fills the room, and is leaking from tiny holes in the glass. "Sir, we're going to have to take a different way." Kaplan said. "This way goes straight to the Red Queen." J.D said. "Okay check the floor below us." Number one said. I found the door and to the stairs and just managed to step inside the door before seeing nothing but orange and red water lapping at my feet. I went back to the team and said, "No good, it's flooded down there as well." "Alright, Kaplan. Find us another way." "Already did sir. We'll have to go through dining hall B." "Very well, move out!" Number one ordered.
As we were walking down the hall to Dining hall B I could hear Number one explaining to Alice what the Red Queen is and how she already knows we're here. Upon reaching Dining hall we soon learned that it wasn't a dining room for humans. There were metal crates everywhere, all with a glowing green light that says "Stable." "Alright, there might be survivors, I don't want to waste any time down here, so give a search line and keep it tight. "Rain, you Hell stay here and watch him." Number one ordered. "Hey, Elizabeth," J.D said over the radio. "What?" I growled at him. "Different channel." He said. "Three." I told him while switching to radio channel three. "Okay what?" I asked him. "What's going on between you, Alice and Rain?" He asked. "Nothing you should be involved with." I spat at him turning my back from Rain so that she couldn't hear what I was saying. "Bullshit. Look I'm sorry okay; I didn't mean to cause problems." J.D told me. "Too bad, you did when fucked up." I hissed. "Look, I'm trying to apologize here so don't make things any worse than they are." J.D hissed to me. "Well, you piss me off and take important things from me you better expect me to make your life hell!" I shouted at him. "Keep your personal life to yourself." Rain said. "You're here, so what's the difference?" I snapped to her. "Look you can take it out on me when this missions over okay? Just don't be pissed at Rain. I'm the one who practically forced myself onto her." J.D told me. "I'm gonna hold you to that you know." I said lightening up a bit. "I know. You know I wouldn't make these offers lightly, to you." J.D joked. "Yeah, okay. Later, after this mission, we both get in the ring, deal?" I asked. "You got it toots see ya then. Change back to the other channel." J.D said. "Kay." I said before changing back to radio channel two. "What was that about?" Kaplan asked me. "Some unsettled business that has been cleared up a bit." I told him. "Okay people focus on the mission at hand here!" Rain ordered into the radio. I scowled at her from across Matt. "What was that whole yelling thing about?" Matt asked. "Nothing that concerns you." Rain and I said in unison, and at that very time the power went out, consuming us in darkness with an orange glow from the tanks, and thirty seconds later, came back on. "I'll handle him from here. What's the time?" I asked her, glaring. "Again with the hate! We have an hour and twenty seven minutes, and who the fuck-?" Rain shouted. "Shh!" I said bring my fingers to my lips. She looked like she wanted to snap at me but she then heard what I heard. It was the sound of something metal falling to the floor over and over again. "I'm on it." Rain said. "No, I got it." I said to her advancing to go past her until she grabbed me and pinned me to one of the tanks. "Look, kid! I said I'm on it, so stick with the witness and I'll handle it." She said in my face. "Yes, ma'am." I snapped at her. I then followed her, with my eyes, with a smile on my face until she was out of sight. "Did something happen between you two?" Matt asked. "Kind of, yeah, but my life's none of your concern got it." I snapped at him. "Yes ma'am." Matt said swearing under his breath. "Elizabeth! We got a survivor!" Rain called out to me. "Move." I ordered to Matt. He got up when the sounds of a struggle became louder. I moved faster, gun ready, leaving Matt behind to see Rain struggling against a female scientist who was attacking her. "Hell! Get her off of me before I stab her ass!" Rain said as I swung my gun behind my shoulder and pulled the scientist off her throwing the woman two feet away from us and she rolled another two. I turned around and helped Rain up asking if she was okay. "She bit me man. She took a chunk clean right out of me!" Rain said. I could feel the anger start to really boil in me as I grabbed my hand gun and cock it pointing strait for the woman. "Stay down." I ordered the woman who was getting up from the floor. "I'm warning you. Stay down!" I ordered holding my ground against her. "She's crazy." Rain said behind me. "I'm not joking, I will fire." I told the scientist. I could feel Rain looking at me, and I wanted to turn around to see her face, but I didn't. "I mean it!" I said turning my attention fully onto the woman. I didn't want to shoot her but she wasn't stopping. "Sorry." I said before shooting her in the leg.
