I saw E3...And I thought hey you used to have an RE2 FanFic. Whatever happened to that? Well IDK honestly, the collab sorta ...died. SOOOOOOOOOOOO I have decided to redo the old Fic the way I had originally wanted it done. The Remake inspired me what can I say? R&R!
S/N We have so much to look forward to video game wise *excitement*
Getting through Chapter 1
I ran down the alley, glancing behind me as the moans faded in the distance. I felt my heart race as my mind still tried to process what the fuck was happening.
I could just make out the blue and red flash of a cop car as I turned on to the street.
Immediately I froze, taking in the chaotic scene before me. The cop car sat abandoned crashed into the parked cars that lined the street. People were running everywhere, Screaming as they tried to evade their attackers. Blood covered the pavement.
"Please!" I jumped back as a body reached up to me. "Please help me!" The man reached up with one arm as his other laid limp by his side. His ankle dragged behind him, barely attached by the tendons.
Slowly I backed away.
"Due to the city wide out break…" my head snapped toward the police car as the radio came to life. "You are advised to take shelter in the Racoon City Police Station."
My face fell. "Great." The transmission continued. "... Food and medical supplies…."
Looking around, I tried to weigh my options.
I needed to leave the city, that much was clear. But I am not the only one who will be trying.
I heard Moaning echoing from the alley behind me.
THINK, PAIGE!
"Fuck it." I ran for the cop car just as the first...Thing, made a grab for me. I knew the car wouldn't move and that was fine; I wouldn't get through the streets in this anyway.
Yanking the door open I climbed in a reach over to the passengers side and opened the glove box. The drawer fell open to reveal a 9mm beretta and an extra mag.
"There we go." I checked the clip of the gun and cocked it ready. Slipping the extra mag into my boot, I opened the passenger door and made a run for it.
I just need to survive.
The police station was just under half a mile away. All I had to do I have to do is get there.
A shot rang to my left, hitting the ground beside me. I stopped and drew my weapon.
A man came out from behind the building, a cop, his weapon drawn as he made his approach. "You're alive." It sounded like a question. He lowered his gun.
"Do you need medical attention?" Lowering my gun, I shook my head.
"Good." He looked behind him and gestured with his head. From behind the wall two people moved to the man's side.
"We need to get to the Station." I stared at the people before me. A woman, bloodied and beaten; she cradled one arm as the other clung tightly to the little girl at her side. There fear was clear on their faces. "And…"
"Help us." The cop took a step forward, limping slightly. Looking down, I saw he too was injured. Looking closer, I could just make out what looked like a bite mark.
"Nope" I was shaking my head before the word even came out my mouth.
"Mommy!" The woman collapsed to the ground, clutching her arm. The cop ran to her side, dragging her to the curb and propping her up on a light post. I watched as she smiled to her daughter. Screams and moans filled the night around us; shots could be heard firing off in the distance.
Why are you still here paige?
I looked back at the three people, asking for my help.
Out of all times…
"You follow or you don't. I ain't responsible for no one but me, got it?"
The cop nodded. "Fair enough." The cop moved to lift the woman; the little girl ran to my side and grabbed my hand.
"Stay close and if they get to close, run." I gave a curt nod.
"Ok let's go."
"We have to run for it." A block away from the Station, We stood two stories up on a fire escape. And even from here, The chaos was clear to see. Buildings were ransacked and destroyed; cars sat crashed and on fire; people were running for their lives as those who should have been dead stumbled toward them. At the Station, you could see what was left of the police still fighting back. Shots were fired as those who were lucky enough got through the doors. But even as they fired, The creatures kept coming.
I looked back at the woman and her daughter sitting against the side of the wall. Tears stained the little girl's face; her mother drifted asleep, her breathing shallow and weak.
"What's your name?" I didn't look at the man. I couldn't. Instead I looked down at the scene before me, planning my next move.
"...Mason…" He didn't respond right away. "My name is Mason."
I took a deep breath. "Mason," I looked him in the eye.I could see the fatigue in his face; the sweat from the fever."You are not going to make that run." I looked back at the woman,"She is not going to make it."
Mason looked up and closed his eyes. "You're right." Taking a deep breathe, he nodded. "You're right."
"I really don't want to be." I removed the extra clip from my boot. "I will protect her." He took the clip. "I got your back."
I nodded. Taking a deep breath, I walked over to the little girl. "Hi sweetie," Glancing down I saw a few of the creatures stumbling around beneath us. We gotta go. "You and me are going to go ahead of your mom and Mason." Immediately I could see the fear in her eyes. "No, no, shhhh. It's going to be ok. Their going to be right behind us." I turned to the woman just as her eyes fluttered open. Locking eyes, she manage to give the smallest of smiles. "Thank you." It was barely a whisper.
"What's your name?" I smiled at the girl.
"Anya."
"Ok Anya. You know what a piggy back ride is?" She nodded. "I'm going to need you to get on my back and hold on real tight." She nodded again. I turned around and squatted down, bracing myself as the girl climbed on."Ready?"
She made a small noise and tightened her grip. Removing my belt, I swung it around us and fastened it. "OK," I turned to Mason, "Take out the ones below us, then just take out as many near us as possible. I can handle the ones that are too close." He nodded and took aim below. I moved to the ladder. "Hey," He turned back to me, "Once we're there, I'll send help."
He smiled. "What's your name?"
I began my descent down, Anya clinging tightly to me. "My name is Paige." I called up to him. "Paige Hawthorne."
I heard a shot fire followed by a deep chuckle. "I'll be damned." I touched the ground and turned just in time to see another walker fall to his bullet. "Pleasure to finally meet you miss hawthorne."
Removing the gun from my waist band, I spared one last glance up at Mason and gave him a salute. Wrapping my free arm around Anya, I began the jog to the Station, foolishly thinking safety lied ahead.
