Here we go my second story! I'm a little excited for this one so hope you like it!

I would just like apologise in advance is there are slight spelling & grammar mistakes!

Tore apart

My legs were burning, I was moving as fast as they would carry me, just trying to get away. My heart was pounding I couldn't keep this up for much longer. All I could hear behind me was the moans and loud pounding. Sure the zombies were slow enough to get away from but that other thing, it moved like I'd never seen anything move before in my life. I saw an opening in the corridor wall I was running down, it was small but just big enough for me to squeeze through. As soon as I was through the hole there it was, the creature trying to force its way in behind me. All I could see of the creature was the gigantic claws thrashing towards me.

Taking my touch out I thought I would check if there was another way out. Trying to ignore the sound of the monster I searched the room, it was pitch black and I didn't have much battery left, I had to move fast if I wanted to get out alive. I scanned the wall I just crawled in through, it was made from metal, the corner of the room looked like a grenade had gone off blowing a hole through it. When I looked back I saw that the creature had disappeared, something wasn't right here, I could feel it. Taking a closer look I noticed that the small hole in the wall looked like it had been made on purpose as parts of it looked like it had been forced back. I turned around to notice I was in what looked to be like a laboratory and I wasn't alone either, something was moving towards me in the dark. Fast.

K-MART POV

I woke up to the sound of Claire humming in the bathroom, steam was filling the small cabin that I now called my room, well it was mine and Claire's room now. I just didn't feel safe on my own anymore after spending all that time with Claire in the hummer back in Nevada to just be ripped away from her by umbrella, I thought I was never going to see her again and now she is back I just can't bring myself to be away from her. She is like a big sister to me. Propping myself up against the cold cabin wall I started to laugh to myself thinking about how I always did want an older sister but jumped when Claire entered the room.

"What you laughing at kid?" she said.

I hated it when she called me that. "Nothing, just glad you came back I guess". We had only been on the arcadia for a day now, well I don't know how long I've really been aboard the ship but I don't like to think about that.

She looked down at me with a scowl on her face looking puzzled at what I'd just said to her. I got out of the double bed and began to get some cloths together when I felt Claire's arms wrap round me into a tight embrace.

"I…We didn't just 'come back' K, we were looking for you and the others. I was worried as hell when I couldn't remember where they had taken you." She hugged me a little tighter as I rested my head on her chest. This felt good. I didn't want it to end when the radio on her belt started to talk in the form of her brother Chris "CLAIRE! Your late, get your ass up here!" she chuckled as she picked up the radio "yeah yeah I'm on my way" she re-attached it to her belt using her free hand, the other was still around my shoulders. "He was never a morning person" a giggle broke out from my lips, and she smiled down at me. With a kiss to the top of my head and a nod she left the room and me standing there. Alone.

CLAIRE POV

When I reached the control room I found Chris pacing up and down, he'd obviously got bored of waiting for me. "Hey bro" I smiled at him. I still can't believe I found him. After all the commotion before I've not really had time to let it sink in that my brother is actually alive.

"It's about time! I'm starving and your late" he strode past me planting a kiss on my cheek then down the corridor out of sight.

Even if he was a bit ignorant some times. A small price to pay to have him back I suppose.

I walked over to the controls looking to see what was going on but really I didn't understand a thing. Chris was the one to set everything up and I'm glad he did because it would have taken me months to figure out what to do. I mostly just sat around to make sure no other ships were approaching ours and to check if we received any radio transitions.

I settled down into the chair in front of the controls putting my feet up on the console. I just sat there with my thoughts of how glad I was to be back with the few people I loved, Chris, K-mart Even Alice, if I were ever to have a best friend then she would be it but I didn't like putting labels on people anymore.

Without even realising it my thoughts were drawn towards the young blond I had just left and what she had said this morning. 'Came back' as if I was returning from a long holiday or something. I was looking for her. I'd become so close to her sins I first found her, scare and alone. She stayed with me pretty much everywhere I went since then, not that it was a bad thing. I like her company. I do hate myself though for how easily I let umbrella take her from me, sure I put up a good fight managing to get away but if I had just tried harder I could have stopped them. God knows what they could have done to her. To my k-mart.

K-MART POV

Without Claire around I didn't have much to do and it made me feel on edge. I thought I would start looking through the cabin. I wanted a change from my new white outfit umbrella had so kindly given me. I first when to the small wardrobe, there were a few old things left from whoever was here before us, some boots, an old blue sweatshirt that looked 4 sizes too big for me, a white t-shirt, some black cargo pants and a few stray socks. I took advantage of what I had and started to put the cargo pants and shirt on when I noticed I had a large scar on my stomach then another on my lower back. I looked in horror at the line going from my belly button to just below my rib cage. "What the?" I whispered to myself. Running my index finger along the line I got a sudden rush of pain flood through me knocking me to the ground. Without thinking twice I jumped up through the t-shirt on and made my way to fined Claire.

"Claire will know." I whispered to myself as I rushed down the crowded passageway not even looking where I was going. Well if she didn't Alice surely would? She knows about the t-virus and what umbrella do to people. What there capable of. Then I suddenly came to a sudden halt "capable of" I squealed.

"Huh? K-mart?" I looked up to see Alice staring back down at me "k-mart, are you okay? What's wrong?" her face changed from her normal calm expression to one that looked more worried.

I couldn't answer back all I could think of was how the scars had appeared on my body. They must have been to do with umbrella. They were experimenting on people. On me. Thoughts were filling my head of what they had done to me. Then Alice broke my thought my placing her hand on my shoulder, "k, snap out of it". I then realized it must have been a good few minutes of me stood not answering back as the expression on the taller woman's face became more worried.

"Claire" I blurted out.

"She speaks." Alice's face eased up a little to me answering back. "Yeah she's in the control room. I'm heading there now, you coming?"

"erm… no I gotta" then without another word I started to walk back down the corridor.

I hope you like the 1st part! There will be more to come. Please leave a nice comment if you have time, thanks!
