Love Amongst the Chaos

Chapter 1 "We're Going Down!"

(Alice)

"Hang on to something!" Carlos yelled looking back at Alice, Jill and Angie. Alice quickly grabbed the seat belt next to her and held on, and prepared herself for the beating their helicopter was about to take.

Suddenly a piece of the helicopter broke off and flew straight for Angie and before she even knew what she was doing she had thrown herself in the path.

She gasped in pain as she was rewarded with the intense feeling of heat as the metal entered her stomach. Alice's world turned black as she faded into an unconscious state, the last thing she heard was Carlos' voice, "We're going down!"

(Carlos)

He turned at the sound of Alice's gasp and felt his stomach plummet at the sight of the ugly metal stinking out of her stomach.

He turned away, and yelled, "We're going down!" as the helicopter was hit with a huge wave of energy. He grabbed on to anything he could touch and waited in terrified silence as the helicopter crashed into the rocks in the middle of a river.

He felt the wind on his face as he was thrown from the helicopter and landed on some rocks about ten feet away from the crash. About half an hour later he was woken by water splashing across his face.

He moaned and rolled over, the crash not registering yet. Suddenly he caught sight of the crash and despite obvious injury and pain forced his body into an upright position.

He didn't know how much time he had but he knew he had to get to the others before it was too late. The pain was registering well but he mentally over powered it in his determination to get to Alice, Jill, Angie and LJ.

He reached the cockpit and found the pilot was dead his neck cracked and his head hanging at an odd angle. LJ had been thrown up against the window and had a nasty gash on his forehead but

Carlos noticed the gentle rise and fall of his chest and knew he was still alive. He moved to the other side of the helicopter and gently pulled LJ out of the cockpit careful not to bump him into anything or allow him too much movement.

When he moved to set LJ on the rock where he had woken up LJ opened his eyes. "Hey man let me down!" he yelled. The sound startled Carlos who was not expecting LJ to wake up and he dropped him hard onto the rock.

"Hey mutha fucka, don't be throwing the brother around!" he yelled rubbing his arm where he had landed on it.

"Sorry, help me get the girls out of the helicopter." Carlos said as he turned back to the helicopter. LJ stood up and followed him.

"Jill? Angie? Are you okay?" he called hearing a faint scratching sound from inside the wreck.

"Carlos? Is that you? Get me the fuck out of here!" Jill yelled frantic. Although she would never admit it to anyone she had a serious fear of small-enclosed dark places and where she was trapped at in the wreck was her worst nightmare.

"Hold on!" Carlos yelled back as he began moving debris from the crash. Working together LJ and Carlos had Jill and Angie freeing in a matter of minutes.

Moving the debris also revealed to them Alice's body and they all stood silently gazing at their fallen savior. "We can't just leave her like this." Angie whispered tears falling quietly from her eyes.

Carlos was shocked at the sight of the tears; he hadn't thought Angie was capable of crying, she hadn't even cried when her father was shot right in front of her.

He nodded and moved forward to pick Alice up and mover her away from the helicopter. He tried not to look at her because it was too much for him. She had died saving their lives, Angie's life.

She could have just left them all there to die and escaped on her own but no she had fought through zombies and abominations to bring them the safety they desired and he would never forget it.

He gently placed her on a large rock and pulled the ugly metal from her stomach. Then he turned to face the others. "We have to go, we have to finish Umbrella once and for all." He said his voice as cold as the steel that had taken Alice's life.

Jill nodded and turned away unable to look at the body in front of her. True at first she couldn't stand the redheaded woman but after the many times she had saved her life she had grown to respect her.

Angie knelt beside Alice and gently touched her burned face, "Thank you Alice." She whispered before standing and following Jill and LJ into the trees.

Carlos moved to follow them and then looked back, he had grown to think of her as his equal in their time together but now he realized she was so much better then he could ever dream of being. He shook himself and left her behind.
