Umbrella - Series 2
Chapter 2
The Faces of the Past
Alex sat in her bed watching patient's walk from their beds in and out of the ward she was in. Night had now fallen, and night in Luca City was peaceful compared to when zombies were running around the whole place – or in Alex's case, in her mind.
The Moon was full, the stars twinkled, and Alex could have sworn that she was dreaming this. What was strange was that there were no sirens, no screams, nor smoke or guns ricocheting off the walls, no explosions, and most of all there was no blood.
Blood. Alex repeated this word over and over in her mind. Blood, she was half expecting to smell blood seep throughout the city and into the air, but she couldn't smell it, that sickly smell that runs up your nose tells your mind to just vomit. The smell of what smelt like copper or salt mixed into one.
Everything was just…perfect. And that bothered Alex a lot. It wasn't the City of Luca that Alex knew. It was just too perfect and nice and peaceful.
Tomorrow at least, she would be taken into the city. Irritably however, Gupta would be accompanying her, just so that she wouldn't end up trying to make a runner or kill someone for suspecting them on being infected by some virus that turns people into Zombies.
As she sat in her bed, she looked up at the TV screen. The news was on which was the only channel that the whole hospital could get. Alex watched as coverage all over the world was shown. Nothing of importance caught her eye, especially nothing that had anything to do with an outbreak of any sort.
With life in the city and the world now back to normal, Alex had nothing more to do but just sit and live her life, which to her was boring. She decided that it was time for her to rest and fall to sleep; hoping that what she was seeing with her own two eyes right now was a dream. As her eyelids slowly closed over her eyes, something in the back of her mind had been eating away at her. There was something off with the whole idea of her being in a coma for a whole year. Something was amiss, something so obvious that it was right in front of her, but she couldn't quite see it, and it was bugging her.
Soon, Alex drifted off into a dream of memory.
UMBRELLA – SERIES 2
She saw them; clear as day and night combined. Nate was in front of her smiling at her. His skin was brown. His brown eyes twinkled back at her. Normally Nate had short black hair, but this time she imagined his hair to be a bit longer.
He suddenly vanished and Georgia stood in front of her. She was exactly the way she imagined her to look like the last time Alex saw her. Light brown hair, which Alex now imagined it to be black than brown, black did suit Georgia a lot. And then there were her eyes, moonlight eyes, or in Alex's case blue sapphire like eyes compared to moonlight eyes.
Alex remembered that Georgia and Nate had a relationship with each other. After narrowly escaping Umbrella and its city full of Zombies, Nate and Georgia declared their love for each other. Georgia was kind of hoping that Nate would have sex with her. Although, she didn't know if they had fucked each other, or if they had not. That part remained unclear to her.
The last she saw of Georgia was her being taken hostage by a group of overgrown Arachnids. Alex remembered back in her coma state that Gupta, back then in her nightmare was the G-Virus in Human form and had control over all Zombies and monsters. Nate was slightly distraught over Georgia's sudden capture.
Nate along with Alex made their way to Umbrella to confront then Albert Wesker, the perpetrator who caused of what befell the whole of Luca and soon the world. Only for Nate and Ash to get separated, she never knew what became of Nate and Ash afterwards.
Ash. She was the rebel of the group. She stood in front of Alex next as Georgia vanished. Ash was slim. Her hair was black with red stripes. For some unexplained reason, Alex imagined Ash having blond hair with a hint of black stripes. In Alex's dream, Ash's new hairdo really suited her. And her brown eyes…
Now Ash looked like she had bags under her eyes, she did look as if she was on drugs. And hardly anyone would see her smile. But on this occasion, she saw her smile which freaked Alex out a bit. There was a little secret about Ash that nearly everyone knew. She loved sex. Some would call her a prostitute or a slut, but she wasn't. Ash was just that type of girl that boys really needed sex bad.
Alex vaguely remembered Ash and Nate become separated, she didn't know what happened to her after that.
Kaycie came into her view next. Kaycie was younger than the team she was about 17 year's old back when she saw her. Kaycie would now be 18. Kaycie had led a troubled life, she lost her parents to Zombies when she was just 7 years of age when she saw her parents brutally murdered before her very eyes.
Luckily for Kaycie however a passer buy saved her in the nick of time.
Kaycie was short. Her eyes were a misty blue and her hair a dark brown with a hint of golden yellow. Her smile was white as she smiled at Alex.
Elijah came next. Ash's ex-lover. He was buff. Blue hazel eyes, and black spiked hair, most of all he was a doctor or a surgeon, he operated on Georgia after she got shot by Umbrella guards. Thanks to Elijah or Lij as most people would call him, Georgia wouldn't have survived.
Alex distinctively remembered Elijah staying behind at their brand new Umbrella underground bunker. But now he was dead.
Then T or Tyrone as Gupta called him came into her view. T wasn't any normal person; he was a Human/Virus hybrid. Part Human and part Virus, and he was immortal. He proved that after a zombie bit into his neck and he healed instantly. Being a hybrid he could sense other viruses closer to him. He was a valuable asset to her team, now he was no longer an asset.
All of her friends were there. Her parents included. Her mother looked exactly like Alex and her father was there, he looked younger than he did in her dreams. He was muscly, strong, young looking. It was no wonder why her mother fell in love with him. He was handsome, even for a young and strong age.
Suddenly they all vanished and an unknown face came into her view. There was something strange about this face. She had seen this face before, or rather once. This person was a weapon's dealer who had numerous amounts of ammunition and other assortment's of weapons.
His name was Hank, he was slightly fat, and grubby looking. His eyes were droopy with just a hint of hazelnut showing through his eyelids. He had crooked teeth that looked like they had never been brushed before.
Hank. Hank. Hank. HANK! Her mind kept saying over and over. His name wasn't mentioned.
It was at this moment that something woke Alex up from her peaceful and remembering dream.
A bloodcurdling scream of what sounded like a thousand banshees seared through the ward she was in.
Three beds away from her a patient was screaming trying to get the nurses away from her. Kicking, punching, whacking, scramming. The whole ward watched in sheer horror and terror as they saw a female patient scream violently.
"Someone get Dr. Jones in her right now!" shouted one of the nurses.
"Someone get some morphine!" another doctor shouted.
The doctors and nurses struggled in effort to get the patient under control. The patient then began snarling and growling at the doctors and nurses. A nurse came back with a bottle of syringe with morphine in it. The nurse injected the morphine into patient, but did little good. There was a crazed look in her eye. Her teeth suddenly sank into the arm of the nearest doctor who screamed.
A sudden fear came flooding back into Alex's mind.
Zombies.
Numerous amounts of faces of Zombies came zooming into her eye sight and she imagined that she saw each and every single one devouring and eating and chomping away.
She breathed heavily as the memories came into her minds. She thought she was having a panic attack at first, but she couldn't stop thinking about the Zombies and monsters that it began hurting her head.
Gupta came into the room. "Give her a sedative, quickly!" he ordered. A nurse quickly reached into her pocket pulled out a bottle with a needle and then quickly jabbed it into the female's arm. She calmed quickly. "Get her to Intensive Care." Gupta said. The nurses quickly pushed the bed out of the ward and down the corridor.
Alex sat there in her bed looking at the spot where the woman was screaming and shouting just moments before she was wheeled away from the ward. Gupta looked over at Alex. She looked pale and stricken with terror.
"Alex!" Gupta said walking up to her. "Are you okay?"
Alex was completely unaware that Gupta was by her side. She was in a state of shock. Never had she thought that monsters that she faced, or might have faced, would have some sort of effect on her. She remembered that she was used to killing Zombies, which was what she was trained to do back when she was working with S.T.A.R.S. Trained to kill, to shoot, to stop any threat coming to the harm of any citizen. She had shot Zombies before. But now Alex wasn't sure on why she was afraid of seeing Zombies or remembering Zombies or why they even frightened her. This wasn't like her.
She had shot Zombies before, and even then they didn't cause much of a fear to her. She why was she afraid of them now?
That was two things that were strange already. One: Why Hank the weapons dealer wasn't mentioned, unless she dreamt him up as well. And second: Why was she afraid of Zombies all of a sudden? Something was off.
"Alex?" Gupta called her name again. Alex snapped out of her shocked state she was in and turned to face Gupta. Looking around at the spot where the commotion was with the patient, not a single drop of blood was in sight from the doctor that got bitten. Odd thought Alex to herself. That patient acted as if she were in the final stages of being transformed into a Zombie. And when changed, the teeth of a Zombie sinks deep that it completely rips the skin off immediately and then there is no hope for the infected person at all. But the patient did just that; just bit the top layer of the skin, the patient didn't even bother sinking its teeth deeper. Now that was convincing to Alex that she honestly thought she was living in the real world, but she wasn't going to jump to conclusions just yet.
"S-sorry." She said only just now realized what Gupta just said.
"Are you okay? Only you look a bit pale." Gupta said to her.
"I'm fine." she said breathlessly. "At least I think I am." Although Gupta was her Doctor, she didn't bother saying what was wrong with her. Alex didn't believe the fact that she was in a world where no Zombies or Umbrella didn't exist. At this moment in time she was keeping herself on guard and looking out for anything suspicious. Anything that might tell her what really was happening.
"You should get some sleep, for tomorrow. We will be leaving early, 8am." Gupta said to Alex.
Alex nodded and she crawled back into her bed and once again she fell asleep, except this time she didn't dream of anything. Just total Darkness.
