Disclamer: I do not own Resident Evil or Billy Coen, they belong to Capcom. Anything not recognizable would be mine, like Arrow or Stuart.

A/N: This was a short story I wrote for my grade 12 english class. I liked how it turned out so I am going to post it in five small parts. Arrow is my main Resident Evil Original Character, but this story isn't my fanfic, it is just an idea. Hopefully in the future I will post my actual fic, check for updatess! Billy Coen is super sexy, just sayingg. 3

Hope you enjoy!

Resident Evil:
Arrow

Chapter One

The year was 1998 when the T-virus escaped, spreading faster than a disease. It was a degenerative virus that turned any living thing that it came in contact with into an undead zombie. The one responsible for this terror was The Umbrella Corporation. Disguised as a pharmaceutical company, they had been working for years underground to develop their malevolent "bio-terrorism" weapons. Raccoon city was the first place to be infected after the virus was accidentally unleashed.
The Arklay Mountain Facility, on the edge of Raccoon, is where it all began. As the virus made its way into the city, Umbrella had to think fast. There was nothing they could do to stop the spread of the virus, so they ordered the destruction of Raccoon City. One city destroyed to cover up Umbrellas' mistake. The Raccoon City Incident was just the beginning. The T-virus had survived, and was spreading fast.

...

They had been traveling together for a couple months now, Arrow and him. She intrigued him. He did not know her real name. To him she was Arrow, a high school senior with jet black hair to her shoulders, and dark mysterious eyes. She had lived in Raccoon city, but managed to get out before the city was flattened. With them was her rottweiler, Ace. He had been Arrows' dog before the infection, and was the only reminder of the life she once had. Then there was Stuart Levi. Not much was known about his whereabouts during the Raccoon incident. Tall and thin, he was a coward and a creep.

Arrow's voice interrupted his thoughts. "Billy, what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

Slightly embarrassed about being caught staring at Arrow, Billy quickly changed the subject, "We're running low on supplies, we should stop at the next town and re-stock."

Billy combed his brown hair back with his fingers. He had always been smooth, cunning even, with the ladies. But around Arrow he found it hard to concentrate.

...

"Dammit, I'm starving!" Stuart stated, matter-of-factly.

Even though Billy hated Stuart, he put up with him for Arrow. She and Stuart had been traveling together before he came into the picture. Stuart was still Arrow's friend, no matter how much he got on Billy's nerves.

"And I'm tired of walking. We've been going down this friggin' road for hours!"

He's just doing this to get on your nerves, Billy thought to himself, Just ignore him. Ahead of the group, Ace started to bark. Smart dog.

Billy pointed to the sign Ace had barked at. "There, you happy now? Little Victoria, five miles." He let out a sigh.

"FIVE MILES!" Stuart groaned. "Carry me, Arrow," he teased.

Billy just looked at him and he shut up.

With Stuart quieted by what Billy thought was the anticipation of a hot meal, they galloped onward.

...

Once again, Billy found himself looking at Arrow. Conflicting thoughts entered his mind. She's so young, what am I thinking! Well, were in the middle of a Biohazard, so why does it matter? Dammit, it just does. If she knew that I felt things for her, she would think me a.. He couldn't even think it. This is so unlike me!His mind then took him back to the day he found Arrow. Well, the day SHE found ME.. Why had this virus gotten out? Why did they have to bomb Raccoon? And why frame me for a massacre that was ordered, that I didn't even participate in?
An ex-Marine, then an ex-convict, Billy had been framed and condemned to death a year earlier. His sentence was not carried out, for the T-virus had claimed his escorts and he got away. The Raccoon city Incident happened just after that.
She was a damn good shot..That young girl was Arrow. Since then Billy could never get her out of his mind. She was the center of their motley crew, and the center of his thoughts. I'm as bad as Stuart.. He felt like a total caught up to Arrow and began to walk with her."Nice day for a walk, isn't it?"

He was running through the abandoned laboratory, now overrun by undead scientists, hidden in the Arklay Mountains. Looking for any information on Umbrella, the t-virus and whatever else they were creating.

After making his way through the zombie infested lab, he found no information. All the computers had been wiped and paperwork disposed of. There was no proof of any of Umbrella's schemes. There was no point in staying, there was nothing left here but living dead. Disappointed, Billy started back for the entrance of the facility when he saw something move out of the corner of his eye. Pistol ready, he swiftly turned the corner and aimed. It was a young girl and she didn't look dead.
Surprised, Billy lowered his weapon, "H-hello?" The girl raised two shotguns in his direction. "Hey wait, I'm not a zombie, I haven't been bitten. What are you-"
Two shots raced by his head and struck two zombies each between the eyes. Billy just stood their as their bodies fell to the ground and the girl approached him. With a quick smile, she led him out of the forsaken facility.

She smiled at his cheeky flirting. "Indeed, and look ahead. We've arrived at Little Victoria."

"What?" Billy was too caught up with her lips to hear what had came out of them.

"The town, Little Victoria.. We're here," she giggled.

...

Little Victoria, named after a lake nearby, was on the opposite side of the Arklay Mountains from Raccoon. The streets were barren and quiet. There was no signs of life anywhere, an uneasy feeling engulfed them. The windows of the houses had been smashed, cars left askew. It looked as if all the people here had just vanished, or worse. Even the usual colours of autumn were absent. A child's bicycle lay on the side of the road.

In a serious tone, Billy said, "It looks like the virus got here before us. Be careful." He looked at Arrow, "I have a bad feeling about this place, but we need food and ammo. We should split up to search."

"I call Arrow," said Stuart with a look that made Billy's pulse quicken.

"Well that's too bad, she's with me." This was not supposed to be negotiable. But Stuart being Stuart, he insisted.

"You always drag her with you and leave me with the dog. Ace hates me. It's my turn with Arrow!" He pulled Arrow over to him, smiling at her.

"It's fine Billy." Arrow reassured him. "Ace, you get to go with Billy this time." She petted her canine friend.

Billy didn't like the situation at all. The thought of Arrow being alone with Stuart sickened him. Stuart was not trustworthy, especially around Arrow. More than once Billy had caught Stuart ogling her, his intentions clearly written on his thin face.

"Be careful," He said to Arrow, but he was looking at Stuart.

Stuart walked over to him. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." He winked. Billy could feel his ears burning with anger.

"Let's go this way, Arrow. We'll look for the food." As Stuart dragged Arrow away, he gave Billy one last smug look.
