Azariah's P.O.V.
*gasps*
~What the? What the heck did I just dreamed about?! Ow...my head.~
I woke up as I felt my head ache, I then found a note on the desk near my bed.
Dear Azariah,
Be careful when you return back to U.S., the doctor says your memory will come back soon so don't worry. You should leave before the airplane leaves you. Sandy will meet you at Harvardville Airport. The tickets are in this drawer, ok? I got your things packed already, take care okay? Good luck!
~Hmm...no name. I wonder who wrote this...wait a minute. 'Your memory will return soon'...does this means I have amnesia or something? Wait...what's my name? Oh yeah...it's Azariah Meadowlark...wait...how did I know that? What the...oh well. Never mind.~
I said as I did what the note told me. I took the ticket and found out that the plane will be leaving in an hour.
"Oh shit." I said as I rushed to the shower and took a quick bath. I brushed my teeth and changed my clothes as I grabbed my baggage and called for a taxi. I showed the cab driver the ticket and he took me to the airport. I scanned the ticket and searched for the gate and I found my plane.
After 8 hours of sitting there and watching the mini tv in front of me, the captain of the airplane announced that we are about to land at Harvardville Airport. I fastened my seatbelt on as the plane landed on the ground. Soon, I got out of the airplane and didn't know what to do next.
"Hmm...what now? Darn amnesia...now I don't know what I should do. Wait..." I took the note from my pocket and noticed the part 'Sandy will meet you at the airport.'
~Hmm, I guess I'll have to find someone named Sandy. Who the hell is Sandy anyway? Sheesh.~
Not knowing what to do next, I bought myself some chocolate with the money I found on my luggage and went to chair nearby. I then sat between a man and a kid. After a few minutes, I noticed the kid looking at me as I ate my chocolate bar so I decided to give her one.
"Looks like you want some, you can have it." I said to her handing her the last chocolate bar I have. I also tried to be less creepy to the kid.
"Uh- no thank you miss." She said shyly.
"Don't worry it's fine! You can have it." I said to her as I insisted and she accepted it.
"Thank you..." She said.
"She's quite shy." The woman beside the kid said as she smiles at me.
"I know. Is she your daughter?" I asked as she smiles and holds the kid's shoulder.
"Aha, no. I'm just her guardian." She said as the kid looks at her and she brushed her fingers at the child's hair. "My name is Claire by the way. Claire Redfield, you?" She asked me.
"Oh, I'm Azariah Meadowlark. It's a pleasure meeting you." I said as I asked for a handshake and Claire accepted it with a smile. "What's her name, by the way?" I then asked referring to the kid.
"Oh, her name is Rani, Rani Chowla." Clair said to me as the kid smiled at me and gave me a piece of chocolate.
"Aha, no thanks. You have a nice name, Rani." I said to her and smiled.
"Thank you!" She replied as she bites of some chocolate. After a few minutes of chatting, Claire and I mentioned a report on the huge tv in front of us.
"Senator Davis, you serve as a special advisor for WilPharma Corporation, after viewing photos of their latest human test subjects what are your thoughts?" The report said as she follows a fat looking man. He was u-gleh.
"That Halloween is celebrated earlier in India than in the U.S., maybe?" The fat man replied.
"Really, I simply don't understand American humour. Apologies. I didn't mean to interrupt." A man nearby us said and Claire gave him a smile.
"Don't worry, I can relate." Claire replied to him as she looks back at the tv screen.
"I don't even know who he is." I said and it made Rani giggle a bit.
"Are you three waiting for someone as well?" The man asked us we nodded.
"Yeah." I replied to him.
"Well, l think the asylum let the patients out for the day. It's a bit crazy outside." The man said. All of us couldn't wait outside because of the protests.
"That's an understatement. The Air Dome Research Facility isn't the only thing Senator Davis brought to Harvardville. It's like the wacko circus hit town." Claire said as she holds Rani.
"Well, I 'm weary of waiting. I'm going to grab a taxi. Good day, ladies." He said then he left us with a hurry look.
"The bad guy. Claire. It's him. The bad guy we saw on TV." Rani suddenly said as she points out the fat looking man we saw on tv, only, he was wearing a baseball hat.
~Heh, like a thing changed in his appearance.~
"Senator Davis. Can l have another word?" Soon enough, the fat man was swarmed with reporters.
"You cannot." He said as he continues to walk away from the reporters. The reporters kept on insisting until a zombie looking guy attracted everyone's attention.
"What the hell is this?" The fat guy said.
Worried about something, Claire stands and talks to Rani, "Rani, wait here, okay? Can you watch her for me for just a sec?" She asked me as I nodded.
"Yeah sure, go ahead." I said as I sat near Rani. Claire then proceeded to see what was happening until she was pissed off and pulled the mask of the zombie pretending guy.
"Did someone put you up to this, or is this stupid costume your brilliant idea? Okay, genius, you got something to say get it off your chest and move on." The fat man said angrily, but he looked relieved.
"This is too much." Claire said to the pretending fella.
"Ma'am, are you involved in this?" The police then began to question Claire for she intervened in the matter.
"Indirectly, in a manner of speaking." Claire said as she steps away from the police.
"Then, in a manner of speaking you're coming with me too." The police said as I suddenly stood up. I wanted to help but then, another zombie looking guy approached.
"Now, wait just a minute." Claire said as she looked suspiciously at the must-be-pretendig zombie guy.
"Chief..." One of the bodyguards said as he approached the assumed pretending fella, not a moment too soon, the police was attacked as he was being bitten in the neck.
"Oh, my God. What's going on here?!" The fat man said in fear.
The bodyguards couldn't do anything to save the eaten man. They began shooting the zombie fella as he falls on the floor.
"Stand back! Move, move, move! Out of the way! Stand back! Move away from him now! Damn... Too late! He's dead!" One of the police said.
"Let's get the hell out of here!" The passengers began to panick as I held Rani close to me.
"Run! Get away! Hurry!" Claire said as she makes everyone leave.
~What the hell is going on?~
"Rani, Azariah!" I heard Claire shout as we approach her.
When we got there, we saw the fat man begging Claire for help, "Please! Help me!" he said but Claire ignored him.
"Attention all persons inside the terminal, evacuate the building immediately. Repeat, evacuate the terminal immediately, this is not a drill, use all exits, everyone evacuate the terminal building immediately!" An announcement was heard as I see the airport filled with people panicking.
"No. No way. This can't be happening." Claire said to herself, but I wondered why I had this feeling that I've experience something like this before.
~*~*~*^...^*~*~*~
When the airplane crashed at the airport, we didn't had the chance to escape the grounds so we hid in the V.I.P. Lounge.
"Hey, does anyone here have a phone? Call 911 and ask for help." Claire suggested as she bars the door.
"Yeah, I have one. Here." I said as I hand it over to the fat guys secretary. She then begin to dial and soon enough she began talking on the phone.
"How many are alive?" I heard over the phone as the secretary answers the question.
"Five, including me, one's wounded, the senator." she responded.
"Can you give me your location?"
"We're in the VIP lounge, west end of the arrivals lobby. Listen, l don't know how long we can hold up, send help now before those things get at us. Please hurry!" Then to our surprise, the transmission was cut off. "No!" The secretary said in disappointment.
"Don't worry, they know where we are now. They'll send help soon...I hope." I said as I comfort her.
After hours of waiting for something that didn't seem to come, we began hearing gunshots outside.
"Those were gunshots!" The secretary said as we all stood up. Startled.
"They sent help. We're gonna get out of here." Claire said and I nodded at her.
"You should thank me. If you hadn't told them l was here, they would've ignored your call." The fat guy said. He's somewhat really pissing me off.
"You might want to stick your ego up your ass considering your own bodyguards left you here to die." Claire said and I felt really glad she did that, the fat guy needs a lesson.
"Hm, those things eat humans right? They're gonna have a fun time eating you when they catch you. You have lots of meat in your body." I said to the fat man while trying to creep him out.
"When I get out of here, I swear I'll put you both in prison!" He said, and I just stick my tongue out at him.
"What was that?" The secretary said as she hears voices talking from outside.
"Someone who isn't infected. We have to help." Claire said then she scanned the room.
"It's too late. There's nothing we can do." The fat guy said and I glared at him.
"No, Claire is right. We have to help." I said as Claire picks up an umbrella nearby.
"No, Claire, don't go! When my father left, he said the same thing! He said he was going to go help my mother but he didn't come back and neither did she! And if you leave, you won't come back either!" Suddenly, Rani stopped Claire from even taking a step further.
"It's okay. I am gonna come back. I promise." Claire said.
"Really?" Rani said to Claire as she ran her fingers through the child's hair.
"Don't worry, I'll go with her and I'll make sure she returns, with me of course." I said to Rani as she forced a smile.
Claire and I decided to silently get out of the room with having only an umbrella and a small pen to protect ourselves. Not to boast but, I never even feel fear seeing those zombie bastards, it's like I'm used at seeing them...I just wonder why.
