Recollections of Annette
Annette Birkin stepped through
the opening door, hurrying to get to her wounded husband. Her mind was shock to
found only a pool of blood where her beloved William once laid. She dropped
down, looking over the drying blood. Something metallic shined in the dim
light. Annette stared at it, trying to make her eyes figure out what the object
was. Her mind snapped, " a syringe." The word popped into her head. " Oh,
William what have you done" Tears begun to form, building at the edge of her
eyes. She picked up the syringed up from the sticky pool of blood and held it
to her breast, feeling the warmth that once was her husband. Tears streamed
down her face wildly as she known why William had turned himself into a living
product of his own work. " Umbrella, Umbrella is to blame. If it wasn't for the
G-virus, William would still be by my side, his warmth still with me."
Annette picked herself off the floor, spotting William's 92 SB compact 9mm on
the floor. She grabbed it and held it in her hand. For some odd reason it felt
like William was right there with her, his anger for umbrella raging through
her. The tears stopped and Annette looked towards the door, remembering the
Special Forces members that pass her earlier. She rushed towards the metal
door, running after the agents that killed her darling husband. She run through
the main hallways, just pass the lab that she came from. Her eyes glanced over
the decimated bodies that laid scattered through the large room. She know she
was on the right trail, this was the work of William and he was going after the
special forces members to avenge his ravaged soul that umbrella took from him.
The loud roar of William tore through the air; Annette's heart sank even
farther down. She stopped her run and turned to the huge motioning wall.
Screens flicked with various imagines of the lower and upper parts of lab.
Annette's eyes looked over the twenty-four screens, searching for her dead
husband. Her eyes widen at one of the cameras screens, it flicked with snow and
static but she could still see the picture. The giant steel door of corridor 6,
something stirred behind it, something large. The right corner bent in as a
bulky clawed hand tore through it. She saw the shoulder of the beast, tall and
massive, layers of exposed flesh wrapped around it like cotton candy. The
middle of the shoulder opened reviling a giant gruesome eye that moved left and
then right, acting like a real eye would. The hand pushed at the door, tearing
it off the wall like it was tin foil. The large form of the beast stepped into
the light. The tears of madness returned as she saw the sweet monstrous face of
her husband.
The giant creature known as
William stepped lightly out form the doorway, a burst of light came from the
other end of the hallway. Annette quickly typed on the keyboard at hand,
expanding the view of the camera, showing the Special Forces member that had
opened fired on William. " Smart bastard isn't he. He actually know that
William would be after them, so he stayed behind to keep William busy. Thus
completing their mission without complications." Annette chuckled at her own
wit. " At least William will get some revenge." Annette's thoughts deceased as
she watched the battle that went on. The agent's submachine gun fire died, the
solider ejected the empty clip, letting it drop to the ground. His hand
searched across his utility belt, trying to found a fresh magazine before
William reached him. William leaped to the ceiling, crashing through ceiling
tiles with much ease. The Agent, angered, reached for the ladder, disappearing
from sight very quickly. Annette looked over the camera screens once again;
trying to found where William had went. Rage filled Annette as she saw two of
Special Forces members splashing through the sewer system carrying the case
that concealed the G-virus.
There was nothing Annette could
do; the truth hit her once again. Her husband is no longer the sweet, caring
man he once was; he is now a soulless monster. Annette walked back to the lab;
she grabbed a bottle of sleeping pills to ease some of her pain. Two of them
fall out in her hand and she threw them into her open mouth. In minutes the
pills took effect, making Annette dizzy and lightheaded. She sat on the ground
and pulled her legs into her stomach. "Oh William come back to me." She says as
she falls into a deep sleep. Annette wake up, her body tired and stiff. She
rubbed her tired eyes, ridding them of the heavy slumber. Annette looked around
searching the room. She tried to stand, but her muscles still covered with
sleep. She forced herself up, wondering how long she had been asleep. The way
she felt and how her muscles responded, it had to be more than four days. A
loud thump made her jump, Annette turned around looking at the plastic window at
the other end of the lab. A man, dressed in a dirty lab coat, slowly banged on
the window with his arm. Annette walked over to the door; it opened with a
metal whoosh. " What do you want?" Annette says sleepily. The man let out a
dreadful groan; it was then Annette notice something wrong with him. His skin a
odd shade of white. His eyes a egg yolk, his clothes dirty and blood strained.
That's when she noticed why he looked like that; he had become the walking
dead. The man stumble towards her, Annette's mind still raced to found an
answer. The zombie grabbed her wrist, sizing up her arm. She screamed and
ripped her hand from his loose grip. She staggered back as the man shuffled
towards her, letting out moans of hunger. She raised the handgun that she held in
her hand, not knowing she even had it with her. She let off three shots, one
hitting the creature in his chest, the other striking him in the shoulder, and
the third one blowing out his left eye. The undead creature fall back on to the
ground, spasming. Annette's nerves calmed down and she relaxed herself. " How
could this have happened in just four days? A breakout. This whole underground
installation has to be infected. I will need more ammo, god only knows what is
out there."
Annette tore the drawer out from
its slot, looking around the junked that laid in it. She then saw the two thin
black magazine clips for the 92 SB compact. Annette slipped them into her lab
jacket's side pocket and readied herself for what awaited her outside. The door
opened and the heavy stench of death hit her hard. Annette's stomach churned
and bubbled at the sicken smell. Three carriers aimlessly walked around the
large circular room. All of them dressed in lab coats and slacks. She known she
had to act fast if she was going to get by them. One let out a eerier moan,
echoing off the steel walls. Annette dashed to the hallway, the zombies begun
to shuffle her way, noticing her actions. She pumped her legs reaching the
security room once again. Most of the cameras were out, but a few displayed
pictures. Annette punched in a few keys, the camera screen flicked and changed.
Dark running water filled the monitor than a foot comes into view. The brown
loafer shredded and covered in blood splashed through the water. The pain hit
Annette once again, she recognize the brown loafer, it was William's. She has
to found him; she has to bring him back to help him before he gets to sherry.
The sky tram jerked to a stop, Annette slid the door open and stepped out. She
scanned the area for any dangers, not seeing any she continues towards the
sewers. Annette swung the door open, hearing the loud sound of rushing water.
Annette looked in seeing that the sewer was flooded with dark murky water.
Annette stepped lightly into the water; her foot coming down on something lumpy
and soft, slipping under the weight of her foot. Annette jumped back looking
down at what she had just stepped on. A body, clad in dark green fatigues laid
at the bottom of the sewer way. Annette recognized the tore up body; it belonged
to one of the Special Forces members. Annette laughs at the soldier's painful
death, knowing that William had got his revenge. Annette jogged through the
heavy water, making her way to the steel gate that closed off that section.
Spiders crawled across the wall, hissing in anger. Annette slowly moved pass
them, not making any sudden movements. Annette walked pass them making her way
through the small passageway to the right, and climbs up on a ledge. Annette
closes in on the door at the end of hallway. With a brush of air the door
swings open, Annette walks in hearing the loud rumble of the small lift
elevator coming down. " The spy." Annette's mind screams. She saw both of them
on the small lift and they saw her, she run back towards the door, trying to
trick the two into chasing her. The two rounded the corner; with out second
thoughts Annette pulled the trigger, firing off three rounds, two missing their
targets, one hitting with a wet smack. Annette took the time to escape running
out the door she just came out of. Annette run up the steel ladder and through
the vent. Annette could hear the running footsteps of someone behind her as she
made her way towards the sewer controls. Annette turned around and raised her
gun, aiming at the spy's handgun. The bullet shot out, hitting the spy's gun
out of her hands, giving Annette the upper hand. " You're after the g-virus
aren't you?" Annette says very sly. " G-virus what are you taking about?" Ada
responds confused. " Don't play dumb with me, I did a background check on you.
I know you got close to John and become his girlfriend so that you could spy on
Umbrella actives with out being noticed. By the way John's dead, he become on
of those zombies. My condolences." she uttered. Annette began to speak again before
Ada could even answer. " Where did you get, that's sherry's." Annette said, as
she looked at the gold pendent that hung from Ada's neck. Annette leaped for
the pendent, but Ada was fast. The two struggled, trying to throw the other off
the bridge. Ada lifted her hand, making a fist, and slammed into the side of
Annette's face. The force of the blow sends Annette cascading over the railing
and hitting the hard steel below.
Pain and soreness raged through Annette's back, she slowly lifted herself up.
Annette stopped and listened to the sound of the running water, she could hear
faint splashing coming closer. " That spy is coming back. I have to hide."
Annette lays her sore back on the wall awaiting the secret agent that wants her
husband's research. The door opened, not Ada, but a young woman walked in.
Annette raised her gun to her just to be sure. Calmly and coolly the woman
said, " You must be Annette." " Yes, my husband William Birkin, he is the man
responsible for the creation of the G-virus." Annette speaks. " G-virus?"
Claire responds. "My husband's latest creation. It can create the ultimate bio
weapon. Its potential is much greater than that of the T-virus. I have got to
found him he is after sherry. He is able to implant embryos into those who have
related genetic make up. Since sherry is his daughter than he will be after
her." Annette explains. " I just saw sherry she is somewhere in the sewer
system, I lost her just a little while ago." Claire says feeling the sudden
rush of panic. " Sherry." Annette screams as she runs pass Claire and barrels
out the door. " I have to get back to the lab and get the vaccine ready if I am
going to save sherry's life. There is no way I can beat William in this shape
the only alternate is to save her before the virus spreads to far through her
body."
The elevator train sat in the dim
light of moon, its metal glisten in the beams of white light. Annette climbed
abroad and began her descent down. The train jerked to a stop, Annette checked
the light by the door, reading that the train's engine had over heated. Annette
stepped out, feeling the cool September wind blow down the shaft. Annette
spotted the small platform just below her she jumped down towards. Her loafers
hit hard on the steel platform; Annette lifts herself back up, the sound of the
train starting up again makes her look back. Annette known it had to be those
spies that where following her, she climbed into the small vent shaft and
dropped down to the floor below. Annette waited; she wanted her revenge on the
two. A monstrous roar ripped through the calm air, making the atmosphere
feeling abnormal. Gunshots joined with the devilish howl, thoughts raced
through her mind. It had to be William he had come back here. The shooting
stopped and Annette could hear the metal vent being lifted up and someone
crawling into the emergency shaft. A mess of blue dropped from the ceiling, it
was that cop that she had shot earlier. " You murdered my husband! I know what
you are looking for. You came for the g-virus. You won't take it away from me.
This is my husband's legacy." Annette screams at the young man. " I see you
have teamed up with that spy." Annette added. " What are you talking about?"
the man asks. "You really don't know anything. She's one of the company's operatives
sent here to retrieve the G-virus." Annette explains. " That's a lie. I know
Ada she wouldn't do anything like that." Leon screams back at Annette. " No,
it's the truth. I did a background check on her and found out that she was
spying on Umbrella actives. Now its time for you to die." Annette raises her
gun to the shock man, fearing rolling around in his eyes. The ceiling burst
into dust and debris as a giant humanoid creature leap down. The ground shook
under its massive boots, as it made its way towards Leon. Annette turned around
letting the creature do her dirty work at killing the poor cop. She headed back
to the lab, getting back on track; she had to make the vaccine before it was
too late, before sherry died.
Gunshots erupted from the lab, Annette
waited there to see came out. The door opened with a hiss, and the young woman
from the sewers came out, shocked at the sight of Annette. " Annette I need the
Vaccine Synthesis. Sherry is sick, please Annette I need the Vaccine." Claire
pleads with Annette who stares blankly into Claire's stunned eyes. A howl tore
through the silence, a roar that Annette know to well. " William." The word
rolls off Annette's sweet lips. The ceiling broke away as the giant figure of
William made his way down. Annette looked over the monster, not seeing anything
that realized William but in her heart she known it was. Annette's word still
floated through the air as William roared out in rage. His twin clawed hands
lift up high into the air and came down with a quick swipe. Blood splashed
against the wall; it was Annette's blood. " William." She said softly as he
leaped back into the hole in the ceiling. The warm crimson blood trickle down
her bottom lip as she cracked a wide smile. Claire keeled down by her side, "
here, this is the Vaccine Synthesis. Please save my Sherry and told her I know
I was a terrible mother, but I still love her." Annette last words barely make
it passed her moist lips. Annette drifted slowly into blackness and was soon
reunited with William.
