Hey everyone! FriendlyMushroom here… and falling asleep, it is 1:30 am! But I promised a very special friend here in the site that I was going to give her a very late birthday present. Basically she asked about:

1 – A Resident Evil Fic.

2 – About Billy and Rebecca.

3 – Which was Au.

4 – Which had fantasy.

5 – No Africa.

6 – No Chris.

7 – A wedding must be involved.

Well, I don't think I can cover all that but I thought about something. So for starters, this is my very first Resident Evil story, and also, I want to wish a Happy Very Late Birthday to Anna, who I dedicate, this fanfic to, and I hope she likes it.

Other than that, this is a medieval styled story, re-telling the events of Resident Evil Zero, so yeah, it is like if it were AU. I want to apologize if the characters are out of character since it's being ages since I played Resident Evil Zero. And I want to apologize if I use a very cliché theme in this story, I'm sure many have tried it before, but I have never read a story of this pairing so I wanted to write my version of it, you people will know what I'm talking about.

Another important thing to note is, the story will be T+ for blood, sexual jokes, and characters dying. At any rate, have fun reading.

Prologue:

Raccoonheim. Year 480 A.C.

"Do you believe in reincarnation?" For some, that question might be a motive of laughter, or a proof of faith. But back then, a scholar from the school of alchemy of Racconheim, was surprised by such bold question coming from one of her alchemy partners. "Do you… Rebecca?" He dared asking again, and the young girl placed some thoughts into the question.

She could see a world, where there were castles taller than any castle of Raccoonheim, or of any other kingdom all around Midgard. She could see a person very similar to her, wearing very different clothes, and carrying metal tubes which launched fire and steel from its insides. She could see, the dead standing once again, hunting her, attacking her, wanting to force her into their mindless army. She could see a man, a criminal, perhaps a murderer, who would save her more than once. It was perhaps only a vision, of a world where fire-light was trapped inside of glass, and where people used metal carriages as methods of transportation. She was part of that world, somehow, probably, she was unsure, but she was there.

"Reincarnation is nothing but a fairytale." The girl would reply, and continue with her experiments inside of the protection of wooden made walls and wearing only white robes with green corners by the end of her long skirt. She was also wearing a cloak, and mixing herbs inside of wooden-made plates. "I'm a prodigy, Sir Dewey. And I would appreciate it if you did not call me by my name of birth. We are not romantically involved, not to mention romantically inclined. Call me Lady Cham. I'm not your spouse."

"It was only a question, Lady Cham… I wasn't flirting… I was only trying to do conversation." Sir Dewey added, and the girl smiled below her cowl. "I'm sorry to have insulted you… Lady Cham… I will leave for the research lab and allow you to continue with your alchemy experiment."

"Sir Dewey… were you truly flirting me…?" She wondered, and the blond haired scholar just blushed madly. "I'm 17 years old… it would be illegal to flirt me." And Sir Dewey flinched at that last. "To be harshened so often by the dirty thoughts of men. It breaks my heart." Lady Cham began, and she made sobbing-like sounds. Sir Dewey then approached her, and when he did, the girl launched some powder to his face, and Sir Dewey began sneezing hard. "I was just joking." She mentioned, and Sir Dewey continued sneezing hard, while the girl began laughing at him. "Sir Dewey. Being the only girl in the Bravo Brigade forces me to be careful with my chastity. So I suggest you don't underestimate me. Never forget I'm a prodigy, and I don't need men to be taking care of me all the time, or drooling when I pass by. Want my heart? Then treat me as you would any other scholar from the Bravo Brigade."

"But you are a girl!" Sir Dewey mentioned. "And you are too young to be left alone! You can't blame me and everyone on the Bravo Brigade from wanting to take care of you!" And the girl just ignored him with a smile and walked out of the laboratory. "That way you will never get a fiancé, Lady Cham."

"Fiancé?" The girl began. "And what makes you think I want a fiancé?" And Sir Dewey faced her with curiosity. "All I want is everyone to stop calling me princess or doll, or any other name you can think about. I want to be respected. And having a fiancé, Sir Dewey. Is a sight of weakness." And the girl closed the door behind her. "Maybe I was too rude." Lady Cham suddenly mentioned. "Reincarnation… eh? I wonder… if that vision I had was truly… myself from years in the future." And Lady Cham spaced out in her memories.

Resident Evil: Necromancer Chronicles.

Chapter One: Illness.

July 23. 480 A.C. Raccoonheim's Scholars Training Academy for Royal Sorcerers.

In the middle of the Kingdom of Raccoonheim, there is a school where the royals train in the arts of sorcery. The Scholars Training Academy for Royal Sorcerers, known as S.T.A.R.S. for short, is a luxurious academy where only the wealthy can train their arts, and learn what is forbidden for the common folk.

Inside their wooden made walls, scholars train on different arts, which go from alchemy, to sorcery. Lady Cham was the youngest member ever to join this college, and was well loved and respected by all the other wealthy family members, all of them interested in her hand in marriage, both because house Cham was one of the wealthiest families of Raccoonheim, and because the girl was a beauty to everyone's eyes. There was no girl her age who was so strong at heart. Even fewer were the women who decided to study the arts of alchemy, instead of becoming priestesses or farmers.

Today, however, the scholars weren't at all interested in her, since they were all being reunited at the training barracks, where the sorcerers could easily practice their arcane arts without harming anyone, for an important announcement from the head of the S.T.A.R.S. Lord Wesker.

"Order… everyone, order… this is a serious matter. The Kingdom wouldn't be sending an officer to our barracks if it weren't something extremely important." The one speaking was High Scholar Marini, the most renowned scholar from the Bravo Brigade, a man of brown hair and long mustache and beard. "Lord Wesker. Your orders." He invited, and a man wearing a deep blue armor with a black chest plate and helmet, walked in front of a group of scholars waiting for their orders around a theater-like war room, where Lord Wesker began his announcement.

"Thank you, High Scholar Marini." And the blond haired man cleared his throat. "We approach the Bravo Brigade in times of great need." Lord Wesker began. "As you may know, there have been reports of cannibalism on the territories close to Raccoon Forest. Few survivors have reported these findings, and even fewer have survived. All of them had been affected by a mysterious illness, their flesh, rotten before our very eyes." And the scholars all exchanged looks, not believing in what they were hearing. "We believe… that this is the work of a powerful scholar. Capable of infecting even the healthiest of all citizens into having his skin falling to the ground. And for some reason, these ill citizens, have entered a cannibalism stage."

"Leprosy." Lady Cham added, and everyone faced her with interest. "The illness you are describing is simply known as leprosy, and it is extremely contagious." She continued. "Leprosy is an infection of the skin. It begins as a case of irritation, but slowly evolves into rooting several portions of skin." And Lord Wesker nodded in agreement. "Obviously, seeing their skin falling from their bodies forced the ill ones to want to find replacement skin, or they are too weak as to hunt and prey on less wilder creatures such as humans. Whatever the case is, Leprosy is dangerous, and should be eradicated before it evolves into an epidemic."

"Agreed." Lord Wesker added. "Such is the reason of why we are asking for the assistance of the Bravo Brigade. The Alfa Brigade is full with mercenaries and fighters who will most likely be easily infected. We need alchemists, sorcerers, medics, whatever the Bravo Brigade can offer. We are in your need… and of course, that any volunteer will be highly renowned."

"I will go!" Lady Cham added, and Lord Wesker was more than impressed. "Leprosy is a subject that I have been barely able to research. Having some samples would truly help in my investigation for a cure."

"I'm going too!" Sir Dewey added with enthusiasm, and Lady Charm did nothing but stare at him with annoyance. "As Lady Cham's partner, I am bound to follow her to every dangerous mission she offers herself to."

"This is not a dating contest, Sir Dewey." High Scholar Marini added. "And before this becomes… once again… into a dating contest thanks to Lady Cham." And the girl bit her lips in annoyance. "It will be me the one selecting the scholars who will represent the Bravo Brigade on this mission. Lord Wesker, you have my word. We will eradicate this leprosy, or cannibalism, or whatever that is haunting the Raccoon Forest."

"I would have expected no less, High Scholar Marini." Lord Wesker continued. "Fight proudly, Bravo Brigade. Bring honor to Raccoonheim!" And the scholars all chanted Lord Wesker's name, while High Scholar Marini selected the other team members.

Raccoon Forest.

"I still can't believe how embarrassing you force my life to be, Sir Dewey." Lady Cham complained. She was now inside of a carriage with several scholars traveling with them. High Scholar Marini was in the group, as well as other scholars who treasured Lady Cham and who all dreamed to one day claim her as their wife. "Honeyed words will not change my mind. I'm not looking for a fiancé. Understand here and now, that I am a woman of knowledge."

"Lady Cham. This is not the moment to be piercing Sir Dewey's heart with your words." High Scholar Marini announced, and Lady Cham just crossed her arms in annoyance and faced the outsides of the carriage. Raccoon Forest was too dense, and away from the civilization. They have traveled by horse for hours, and the conversation was never of Lady Cham's liking since it always involved her and her marital status somehow. "Yet, it is true as well. Lady Cham, you have been lying to us about your age… you are actually 18 years old already, are you not?"

"What? She is 18?" One of the scholars mentioned. He was a brown skinned man by the name of Sir Sullivan. "Shouldn't you have announced your fiancée already then, Lady Cham? I mean, all girls your age do." And Once again, Lady Cham found the discussion going around her.

"Sir Sullivan… I suggest you to stop your insinuations. I'm too smart for you to hide your intentions." And the group all laughed at him. All minus Sir Dewey who just liked Lady Cham too much to ignore that comment. "Can you all please just leave me alone? Perhaps I will never get married, since men like you keep on trying to claim me as part of your property. Make the right approach and I may considerate you." And everyone exchanged looks, not even knowing what she meant with proper approach. But the discussion wouldn't be able to continue.

The group heard a strange yell, and suddenly the horses of their carriage began complaining and running faster. They had been travelling around a mountain, and riding around the mountain range was dangerous already, it was even more dangerous with a couple of scared horses, who ended falling by a cliff, and pulling the carriage down with them.

The carriage rolled down, and the raiders had to jump off and roll down so the carriage wouldn't kill them both by rolling on top of them. Fortunately for the group, the carriage stopped it's rolling after crashing with a three, and the scholars began making it out of the carriage slowly, although a little wounded.

"What happened?" High Scholar Marini asked to one of the raiders, who stood up weakly while the other one went to the horse's side and began examining their wounds. "Sir Dooley… if you drank before the mission, I swear I will get your head for this."

"No sir, I didn't drink a thing." Sir Dooley added, and High Scholar Marini faced him with determination. "Something must have scared our horses… we suddenly… lost control and fell over the cliff." He pointed out the obvious.

"Never mind that. I want everyone scooting our surroundings. I want to know where exactly in the forest are we." And the scholars all spread around the carriage.

"High Scholar! Look!" Lady Cham added, and while everyone else scooted the area, High Scholar Marini followed Lady Cham with a sword in hand, while the youngest member of the Bravo Brigade walked toward a black colored carriage. A carriage everyone knew transported dangerous madmen and murderers. It was already getting dark, so Lady Cham took a torch from out of her purse and lighted it using a couple of rocks, and when she did, the fire revealed a couple of soldiers from the Raccoonheim army, both dead next to the destroyed carriage. Trying to keep calm, Lady Cham went to the prisoner's container, and found some papers inside, and upon reading what was written there, she was surprised. "High Scholar!" She yelled out of surprise, and High Scholar Marini walked to her side. "Court order for transfer to execution. Prisoner Billy Coen. Former Lieutenant of Raccoonheim Barracks. 26 years old. Court martialed and sentenced to execution on July 2, 480 A. C. The prisoner should be transferred to Fort Regarthon for his scheduled public execution." And Sir Dewey then took the papers from Lady Cham's hands.

"Here it says he killed many innocent guards. They were good men only doing their jobs!" He complained, and High Scholar Marini noticed the anger on his voice. "And that scum murdered them to escape!"

"Forget about the criminal, Dewey!" The High Scholar added. "Just spread out and secure the area. Our friend here is ruthless, but we will deal with him later. Until then, keep your guard up!" He ordered, and everyone began spreading out.

Lady Charm actually found it best to get as far from her group as she could. She actually disliked the idea of they all keeping an eye on her, so going farther on her own would prove her superiority, and that she wasn't in the need of a guardian of any sort.

During her venturing in her own, however, she began getting nervous. It was too dark, and there were leprosy sickened cannibals around the forest, as well as a murderer. Certainly, this was a moment in which she wished she hadn't allowed her pride to get the better of her. Suddenly, she began hearing the flow of water, and found a ship that used to be sailing the river close to the forest, and noticed it was oddly tied to some trees, as if the ones inside of the trip had tried to escape to the forest.

"A Ship?" Lady Cham wondered, and approached the ship. The boarding plank was even there, meaning someone made it out of the ship. It suddenly began raining, and the water drops began turning her torch off. She was too far from the group, and returning without a torch would much likely get her lost, and place her in an awfully dangerous situation. And so, against her better judgment, she walked inside of the ship looking for protection against the rain as well as keeping her torch lighted. She of course got a dagger ready, just in case there was true danger around, and began walking around the ship, and once she did, she was horrified.

The ship was full with many dead bodies of sailors, all of them covered in blood, they found a horrible dead. Just then, she wondered where she was in more danger, outside with no torch, or inside with these many dead people, probably surrounded by a cannibal or a mass murderer. Lady Cham was trained as a skilled fighter, perhaps not as skilled as her other scholar friends, but still skilled. So thinking about capturing a murderer or a cannibal on her own wasn't at all a stupid idea. And so, she readied her dagger and began inspecting the place. She walked across various rooms, and then she thought she heard something. Next to her, one of the sailors was moving.

"This is Scholar Lady Rebecca of house Cham. Relax… I will take care of your wounds." Little did she know, that the sailor was already beyond wounded. "A leprosy?" And the sailor opened its mouth, and the odor of putrefaction hit her nose, and when she faced the man, she noticed his milky eyes. "He is… dead…? Necromancy…?" She wondered, stood up, and began running away, only to find two more sailors with the same symptoms approaching her. "Great job, Rebecca. Get yourself killed." And she readied her dagger.

She then quickly stabbed one of the sailors in the face. Her dagger went through his skull and killed him once again. The other two approached her while grunting furiously, and the girl began running away from them across the rooms, she even used her torch to scare them away, and noticed it wasn't working, so she kept on running through the rooms, until she got a safer distance between her and the undead, and then she closed one of the doors when she got the chance, and began creating a barricade using chairs and tables.

She could hear the undead scratching the wood, and the girl backed off from it scared. Once she did though, she heard the sound of a sword being unsheltered, and when she did, she slowly began turning around.

"Billy… Lieutenant Coen?" She added with an emotionless stare, as she faced the man behind her and with her torch she lighted his body. The man was tall and strong, his right arm was surrounded by a giant scorpion tattoo, and he was wearing a prisoner's tunic of a brown color and brownish ropes. In his right hand he was carrying a double edged sword which he was currently pointing at Lady Cham's neck, while at the other hand he seemed to be wearing a silver bracelet. But it was chained to another silver bracelet, which won her attention.

"So… you seem to know me." He added sarcastically, and while still pointing his sword to her throat, making sure the girl tried nothing with her dagger. "Being fantasizing about me, have you?" He continued with an annoying smile drawn on his lips.

"You are the prisoner who they were transporting for execution." And Billy raised an eyebrow at that last. "You were with those soldiers outside." And the man pressed his sword even closer. Lady Cham could even feel the cold metal almost touching her skin.

"Oh… I see… you are with the S.T.A.R.S." And the girl nodded in agreement in signal of defiance. "Well, no offence honey… but your kind doesn't seem to want me around, so… I'm afraid our little chat time is over." He finished, sheltered his sword, and began walking away and moving the barricade she had made earlier. He wanted to leave the ship.

"Wait!" She yelled and took her dagger out. "You are under arrest." She finished, and Billy slowly turned around to face her.

"No thanks doll face." He added, and the comparison annoyed Lady Cham a lot. "I'm already wearing handcuffs." He explained. And Lady Cham, who had never seen the object ever before, just couldn't understand the comment.

"I could stab you in the back you know?" She threatened, and the man just ignored her and continued moving the furniture away. Then he took his sword out and killed the two undead about to bite his arms with both skill and speed. Stating his point to the girl without even saying a word. "Point taken." She mentioned, and then turned around and continued walking inside of the ship, surprising Billy a lot.

"The exit is toward the other way." He explained, and the girl just ignored him and continued with her walk. "Women… I don't get them… never will. But it's obvious they have a terrible sense of direction." And Billy continued his way out. But just when he was close to reaching the exit, and saw the forest in front of him, he lowered his head, took his sword out, and went after the girl. "Hey!" He yelled, winning her attention. "It's going to be dangerous from here now in." He explained, and the girl readied her dagger. "Why don't we cooperate?"

"Cooperate with you who have slayed 23 guards?" She added with hatred. And pointed her dagger at him, distrusting the man at every second.

"Listen little girl." Billy began. "In case you hadn't noticed, there are some freaking damn things on this ship. And I for once want to get out of here, but I don't think we stand a chance doing it alone." And the girl crossed her arms in annoyance.

"You expect me to trust you, a wanted criminal?" She began. "I don't need your help, she continued while placing her hands at her slim waist. "I can handle things on my own." She defied, and the man rolled his eyes out of annoyance. "And don't call me little girl! I hate it!" And then she pushed the man aside and continued walking deeper inside of the ship.

"All right miss do it yourself." He made fun of her. "Then tell me, what should I call you?" He added, and the girl noticed some sort of flirty tone in his voice.

"The name is Rebecca of house Cham. But that's Lady Cham for you, commoner." She dared saying, and the two glared at one another with hatred and determination.

"Well then, Rebecca." He defied, and the girl once again readied her dagger while the man circled her around inspecting her. "Why don't you go and try your luck, while I wait here." And he rested his back against the wooden made door of the ship with arrogance.

The girl then stuck her tongue out at him, and continued her way, this time upstairs since apparently she had reached the end of the ship and was now heading to the main deck. Once there, she found a man by the tiller, probably the captain of the ship who was looking at nowhere.

"Umm… excuse me captain…" Lady Cham began, and approached the captain of the ship. "Captain?" She continued and placed her hand at his shoulder. The man then moved his head weakly, or so Lady Cham thought, since once both were face to face, the head of the captain fell to the wooden made floor, and exploded in several leaches-like creatures, freaking out Lady Cham, who then saw the body of the captain moving, and becoming slimy and green. Lady Cham then tried to run away, there was no way she could face such creature, and when she did she found Billy there, with his sword in hand and swinging it against the creature, who was cut in half and divided in several leaches-like creatures, who jumped toward the ocean scared.

Meanwhile, Lady Cham fell to her knees horrified, and breathing out heavily out of fear. She could have died right there. If it weren't for Billy she would have been slain by the creature. The girl continued hyperventilating for a few moments, and Billy approached her with concern.

"Are you ok?" He wondered, and the girl weakly nodded in agreement for him. Still, Billy kneeled down and was about to help her up, or so was the plan when both began hearing a female voice singing around the forest. They then saw, in the middle of the rain and on top of a close by mountain, a man reuniting the leeches around him.

"The necromancer… that… he must be the necromancer…" Lady Cham mentioned, and during her distraction, Billy helped her up, and she ended trapped inside of his strong arms, although none of them noticed it since they were watching the man by the mountain.

"Who is that guy?" Billy wondered, and then both faced one another, and noticed how Billy had his arms around Lady Cham's body once he helped her up, and when the girl noticed, she quickly yelled, blushed, and pushed Billy away from her rudely. "What's your problem?"

"I'm a girl!" She added. "And that, sir, is sexual harassment! We can include it to your criminal registry!" She complained while pointing at him accusatively. Suddenly, they felt a rocking sensation, and Billy ran to one of the corners of the ship. Leeches were swimming around the ropes, and biting them, forcing the ship to set sail once again. "They are eating the ropes!"

"Then we need to stop them!" Billy mentioned. "Listen! We need to cooperate from now and onwards! You got that?" He informed, and the girl bit her lips in hatred. She was then about to complain. "Quit whining, girl! Or maybe you want to finish like all those damn sailors!" He yelled, and the girl faced him in annoyance.

"All right!" She admitted. "But keep in mind that I will stab you if you ever try anything funny!" And she pointed at him accusatively. "Let's waste no time! Or else the ship will…" But Lady Cham couldn't even start finishing that sentence, when the ship began sailing away from the shore. "No!" She yelled, and noticed with sadness, and with her tears mixing with the drops of water from the rain, that their only chance for safety was now gone. "Do you know how to swim?" She wondered, and Billy moved his head in negation. "Me neither." She mentioned while seeing the water below. "What will we do now?"

"We can try jumping… once the weather gets better." Billy explained, and Lady Cham nodded in agreement. "Let's go… the captain's room should be somewhere around here. We will worry about this later." And the girl nodded in agreement for a second time, and followed Billy toward a room in the middle of the deck, where the captain's room was found. "We are in this together. So let's try to get along, shall we?" Billy asked once inviting Lady Cham inside of the room, and when he did, Lady Cham noticed a big bed and candles next to the captain's desk and table.

"That depends on your definition of getting along." She explained coldly when seeing the situation both found themselves at. "Whatever… I just hope my teammates are all right… undead… leeches… pirates… a necromancer… and on top of that a murderer."

"Keep on calling me a murderer and I may start molesting." And Lady Cham covered her body from him. "That tunic is wet, change into something more comfortable and dry." He added, and the girl blushed madly.

"What kind of mad man's offering is that?" She complained, and Billy just rolled his eyes. "There is no way I'm taking my clothes off in front of a murderer." And Billy took his sword out, and Lady Cham did the same with her dagger, and the situation just grew even tenser.

"Seriously… don't call me that… understood… girl?" And Billy sheltered his sword. "If you are not changing, I am." And then Billy took off the top of his clothes, and Lady Cham blushed madly and covered her face, while Billy opened the wardrobe and got dressed in some black shirt and pants. "You can see now, princess."

"Don't call me princess!" She complained, and then felt Billy sitting at the bed next to her. "I'm not going to sleep with you." She mentioned, and then noticed Billy using his sword to try to open his handcuffs. "What are you…?" She wondered.

"What does it look like?" He mentioned in annoyance. "I'm trying to open these damn things, it hurts me." He concluded, and moved his sword oddly around the handcuffs. "Lend me your dagger." He demanded.

"And be left unarmed against you? No thanks!" And Billy rolled his eyes once again and kept on trying. "I will do it myself! Give me that!" She added while pulling the chain with her right hand.

"Wait! Rebecca! Careful with the…" And then both heard a clicking sound. "Other… end of the handcuffs…" He added weakly, and Lady Cham noticed that she had accidentally closed the handcuff around her wrist. "…Idiot…"

"What! No! How do I get these things off?" She wondered and fought against her handcuff, hurting Billy in the progress. "Take them off!"

"I can't woman!" He yelled. "It needs a key! And who knows where that key is!" And Lady Cham felt like crying at her current situation. "Seriously! What have you done? Now we truly will have to stick together!" And the girl once again tried to take them off. "It's useless… and I'm tired." Billy added.

"Then sleep while I…" And both reacted strangely at those words. "This is… not going to end well…" She added, and Billy nodded in agreement. "I guess it can't be helped… I'm tired too." And in the end, both ended lying down at different sides of the bed. "You touch me, and I will cut your throat."

"Whatever, princess." Was Billy's reply. "Once the weather gets better, we will have to swim our way out with these damn things on… it's not going to be easy, but if we manage to do it, then all we need to do is find an anvil, and we will get these things off."

"Or I could cut your hand and get over with this." And Billy once again rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Never mind… I'm tired… and I swear… try something funny and I kill you."

"Believe me… I am thinking on trying various different things and none of them is funny, princess." And Lady Cham flinched. "Just sleep… tomorrow will be a hell of a day." And the girl nodded, and having no choice left, she fixed herself at the bed, and slowly began falling asleep.

I hope you liked it girls. I know this wasn't perhaps what you both were expecting, but I actually like how it turned out to be. Oh well, for now I'm tired as hell and need to sleep. I hope you enjoyed this little birthday present.
