Chapter Two

"Glad you could make it, Rebecca." A hand gripped Rebecca's shoulder firmly and turned her around. Her eyes fell to the person's lips, which were pulled back, into a smirk. Everything went black. The next she saw was a white hallway. Her hands were pulled behind her and she was led down the hallway and through a pair of double doors. The doors slammed opened and...

"...Becca?"

The young medic awoke with a start when her ears finally picked up firm knocks on the door she was currently leaning on. She stood and opened the door. "Yes?"

"Come to the living room..." Jill said softly. Rebecca could see worry still lingering in the woman's eyes. Without speaking a word, Rebecca followed Jill out into the hallway and into the living room where Chris and Claire were quietly conversing. At the sight of Rebecca they fell silent, making the young woman frown.

"We think you should go with your uncle." Jill said as she went to sit beside Chris. Rebecca just stood there, frowning. "You need a vacation away from the stress... Maybe that will get rid of-"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Rebecca interrupted, feeling anger boil in her veins. The three on the couch were dumbstruck. "I know you want me to go because you think I've gone mad."

"Rebecca, that's not true! We're just worried that's all!" Claire and Jill exclaimed simultaneously. Rebecca shook her head feverishly and walked briskly to the closet. She opened it and snatched her jacket from its hanger. Chris stood and went over to her.

"Becky, wait. You're blowing it all out of proportion. It's not like that." He said, grabbing her arm lightly. Rebecca looked at his hand then to his face. "Just forget it. I'm fine."

With that said the angry medic yanked herself out of Chris' grasp and left the apartment, leaving behind a stunned and hurt trio.

"She's alone now, should we tell Matthew?" A woman asked. The man beside her leaned closer to the monitor and nodded.

"It's now or never." He smirked, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. The woman nodded, pressed a button on her headset and spoke into the microphone.

"Come in Matthew, you have the ok to go in with the plan." She waited for a moment. "Matthew?" She waited again. "Matthew's not respond- oh wait."

"Anna? Anna it's Matthew, I got the transmission. We're carrying out the plan now."

"Good, and remember, don't let her see your face."

"Gotcha, Matthew out."

Anna looked to the man beside her with a smile. "Everything's going to plan."

The autumn air was crisp and cool when it hit Rebecca. It calmed her down ever so slightly as she solemnly strolled down the streets away from her apartment. Her mind wandered to earlier events. That was pretty stupid of me... Why did I do that? That's totally not me. She thought to herself.

"I have to apologize when I get back..." She sighed, leaning her head back and staring into the starry night sky. "Maybe I could get them something?" She asked to no one. At the corner of her eyes she spotted Dunkin' Donuts.

"That sounds good." She smiled and directed herself to the store. Her ears picked up a rustling sound and it startled her. She stopped in mid-step and spun around, waiting to hear it again.

Her racing heart slowed down and her shoulders relaxed. She turned around and gasped when she bumped into a tall figure.

"Glad you could make it, Rebecca." The figure smirked.

"How..." Rebecca's eyes widened, her mind replaying her dream. She looked into his face but only saw a black ski mask, suddenly a sharp pain, like a pinch, hit her arm. Alarms went off in her head as her mind tried to register what was happening. A warm feeling fluttered through her arm and washed over her body. Then, just as it had come, the feeling died down quickly. After that, everything in her body stopped and she felt herself being swiped off of her feet.

"Just let the feeling take over. You'll be just fine." Came the husky voice of Rebecca's masked figure. Rebecca didn't want to close her eyes but the heaviness in her them forced her too.

Before she knew it, she was out cold.

Rebecca came around to the silent hum of machines. Her body felt heavy and when she tried to lift her arms, the quiet rattle of chains gave her the answer as to why she felt like that. She sighed but caught her breath mid-way when she heard clacking of a pair of shoes approach her. She calmed her body and tried to look as though she were still asleep.

"William, I got the results back. You were right, like always. But even with these results, you sure we can use her like this?" Anna asked, turning her head to the man beside her. William studied the monitor; his eyes then shifted their gaze to the blood samples in her hand. Anna looked at him and he looked at her, his annoyed expression chilled her to bone.

"She scored high, don't start doubting her now. Just do what you have to do so we can get the data to him. I don't want to get on that man's bad side." He half-growled. Anna nodded and went back to work while William went over to the examination table where Rebecca was supposedly sleeping.

"This is a surprise..." Anna said, breaking the silence. William didn't look away from Rebecca, but he listened to Anna.

"It seems the T-virus made a way into her. There are tiny specs of it everywhere." She continued. William looked at her, his eyebrows raised.

"She should've mutated if she had been bitten... But she's alive and in full health." He pondered on the thought.

Say what? I don't remember getting infected! Rebecca screamed mentally. But maybe that's why I've having those weird dreams? She felt her heart sink, being infected was the worse news she could ever get. But hey, at least she knew she wasn't going crazy. She opened her eyes lazily and waited for her them to adjust to the light before looking around the room. It was like any other surgery room in a hospital. Her gaze landed on the backs of the two 'doctors' and she forced herself to suppress a growl.

"That's right... I'm intrigued and concerned about this... Maybe we'll have to open her up and see?" Anna smirked. William gave a slight snort and shook his head.

"If her body accepts it in a different way, then so be it. Inject her again and record what happens. If she doesn't die or mutate, then give her a little of the new virus." He demanded, heading for the door. "Oh," He turned to his assistant again. "Take a few of her eggs, if she lives through it all without dying or mutating into a brainless zombie." After that he left the room.

"Two hours..." Chris sighed, sinking back into the seat a little. Claire was sitting in the backseat, leaning forward with her elbows propped on her knees, and her chin resting on the palm of her hands. Jill sighed, shaking her head.

"Don't start complaining. The longer we take the longer it takes to save Rebecca." She scolded.

"The man said he saw someone with a girl over their shoulder. The person put her into a black van and went north. The girl had to be Rebecca." Claire said.

Jill nodded. "Yeah."

"But... What if it isn't Rebecca?" Chris asked, stopping at a stop light. The two women looked at him, Chris felt their cold glares and fell silent.

"Well then, cross your fingers." Jill answered before turning her gaze to the road.

"Oh look!" Claire exclaimed, pointing in front of them. Jill squinted her eyes to get a better look at what the woman was pointing to and finally saw what waited in the distance.

"It's... A hospital..." Chris blinked, stepping on the break. Claire shook her head. "No, they couldn't have taken her here..." Jill unlocked her door and slipped out.

"Jill?" Chris and Claire asked simultaneously. The woman stood in front of the car, hands on her hips.

"I'll be back." And without another word the woman turned around and sped off towards the hospital. Claire then mimiced the woman, leaving the car and running off towards the building.

"Claire! Jill! Damn it..." Chris huffed angrily, hitting the steering wheel with the palm of his hand. He parked the car and followed the two women. He entered the lobby where visitors and patients were conversing with one another. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. Chris walked up to the main desk where his sister and Jill were patiently waiting.

"Rebecca Chambers?" The desk attendant asked, her voice a little shakey. "Ah, no. I'm sorry. No there's no one here by that name." The attendant frowned and looked back and forth between Chris, Jill and Claire.

Claire was about to say something but Jill stopped her. "Okay, thank you for your help." She smiled and grabbed her companions by their arms and led them out of the lobby. Once they were outside and away from security, she turned to them.

"You heard her tone and saw the look on her face. She was lying. Rebecca's in there."

"But why would she hid that?" Chris asked, confused by it all. Jill shook her head. "I don't know but there something fishy going on around here and I for one, intend to find out what. One way or another."

"I got an idea." Claire grinned mischeviously and motioned to the doctors taking a break on a bench. Chris and Jill caught on and nodded. Claire stood and went over to the four employees.

"Excuse me, I have an injured friend over here and need your help." She said. The employees looked at each then back at Claire, waiting.

"He's over there." Claire pointed to the parking lot. The four doctors nodded and went to the direction Claire pointed to. Jill and Chris snuck over when Claire gave them a thumbs up. The trio knocked out the doctors pretty easily.

"Now what? We have nothing to tie them up with." Chris said, dragging the fourth doctor behind the bushes. Claire thought for a moment and looked over the doctors. "Three of them have belts... We can use them to tie up their hands." She said, taking their white shin length jackets off. She handed one to Jill and another to Chris.

"Clever." Jill chuckled, putting on the jacket and buttoning it up. She kneeled down and helped Claire tie up the doctors. "What about the fourth?" She asked.

"Use mine." Chris took his belt off and handed it to Jill who took the belt and began wrapping it around the doctor's wrists. Once the last doctor was tightly tied up she stood and used her hand to brush her hair flat. She looked at the brother and sister then at the IDs on their jackets. "Claire let your hair down."

"What? Why?" Claire asked. Jill pointed to the ID pinned onto Claire's jacket.

"That way you'll look more like her."

"Oh, right." Claire took out the rubberband from her hair and ran a hand through the brown locks. Jill took a beret from one of the doctor's and handed it to Chris who looked at it - not noticing the color - and then looked at Jill blankly. "To hide your brown hair a little. His hair is black."

"Ah..." Chris nodded and put the beret on. Claire and Jill then began to chuckled, confusing the man. "What?" He asked.

"N-nothing...! You... Just..." Claire couldn't go on for her fits of laughter overcame her. Jill continued for her. "Pink looks good on you!" She grinned, pinching his cheeks.

"Hey! That's not-" Just then, Chris's jeans slipped from his waist and fell to his ankles.

"Oh!" Jill's cheeks turned a bright shade of pink, not able to tear her eyes away from Chris's monkey printed boxers. Claire stared for a moment before doubling over with laughter. Chris rolled his eyes at them and pulled up his jeans.

"Come on!" He growled.

"Those meddlesome friends of her's found her!"

"Don't worry. Let them get away with her for now. Inform Anna that they're here."

"But what if they find-"

"They won't, now go."

The slamming of a door echoed throughout the room. William looked at the serveillance cameras and smirked. He watched the trio make their way to the main elevator and head to the second floor.

"Like moths to a flame."

Anna stood and turned to the subject chained down on the examination table. "Oh, so you're awake." She said in mock surprise. Rebecca just stared at the woman in disgust. Anna smiled and went over to a sink. She washed her hands and slipped them into a pair of gloves. When she grabbed a scalpel and went over to Rebecca, the medic gasped.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're not serious about cutting me open, right?" She asked in a panicked tone. Anna placed the scalpel onto a small table beside the table Rebecca was currently laying on and tilted her head with a scary smile plastered on her rose colored lips.

"Calm down, sweetie. Think of it as... Paying a visit to the doctor's office." The woman replied in a tone so mockingly sweet, the medic wanted no more than to smack her.

"Oh yeah, because a visit to the doctor's office always gets you chained down and mutated into a hideous creature." Rebecca said sarcastically. Anna merely smiled her creepy smile as she continued along with her work.

Rebecca sighed and swallowed hard, wishing so badly that she were back at the apartment with Jill, Chris, and Claire. Anna placed an IV, alcohol wipe, and a pair of sissors onto the small table. At the sight of the new items the nervousness in the medic's body grew. Anna scanned the back of her hand for a vulnerable vein once she found one, she took the alcohol wipe and swiped it across the girl's skin. Rebecca winced when the IV's needle pierced through her flesh and vein.

"Why do you need an IV when you can just shoot me with the virus?" Rebecca asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Anna paused and looked at her.

"If you were awake then you heard the entire plan..." She answered, removing the needle from the thin tube.

"Yeah I did but... I don't get it. Even if I'm studying to become a doctor... Then again I'm not studying to use humans as expirements for bio-weapons."

Anna raised her brown eyebrows and pretended she didn't hear the last part. "Well then, listen carefully now because I won't repeat myself, got it?"

Rebecca nodded and Anna taped the IV in place. She connected a thin tube to the top of the IV and grabbed the sissors, she then began cutting off Rebecca's shirt. All the while Rebecca thought about what was in store for her later on. She couldn't help but curse at fate which was being cruel to her at the moment; letting these people do what they wanted to her. Anna tossed aside the pecies of fabric that were once Rebecca's shirt and put the sissors back onto the small table.

"There are two ways the T-virus can affect you. Despite the amount given, it can either kill you or mutate you. You in particular, haven't died or mutated at all and it seems the virus has been inside your blood cells for quite a while now." Anna leaned over Rebecca and grabed a handful of wires and a few (1)tiny, oval-shaped pads. She took the plastic off of the pads and stuck three onto Rebecca's chest. She grabbed tinier pads that were the size of circular pills and stuck those to the back of the medic's head.

"What I'm going to do is inject you with more doses of the T-virus and observe your reactions, such as mutation. If it's good then I'll give you a dose of a parasite called 'Baal'. If the results remain good then that's when I'll take some of your eggs and use them for recreating a being that will be able to handle the same injections." Anna connected a wire to each of the metal nubs on the pads and turned on the machine that the wires connected to.

Rebecca sighed and stared at the ceiling. A pinch hit her arm and she looked to see that Anna had began injecting the T-virus. For a good five minutes, nothing happened. Anna smiled.

"Looks like the T-virus is nothing but a summer's breeze to your body." She said, picking up a rather thick sterign filled with silver liquid. "Now for Baal."

Rebecca looked away and awaited her eventual death.

But nothing happened.

"Well that's..." Anna trailed off when Rebecca began coughing. She grabbed her clipboard and pen and began to jot down notes.

Rebecca coughed out a handful of blood and when she stopped coughing, the blood flowed out freely from the corner of her mouth. She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly but couldn't hold back the pain filled screams that eventually escaped. She felt her breath slip away and her heart began beating rapidly. The organ felt as though it was trying to burst out of her chest yet it never came close to doing that.

The pain coursed through her veins like wildfire and in seconds her entire body felt as though it were buring to a crisp. Her body jerked in all directions, trying to free itself from the chains that held her tightly to the table and her screaming faded away when she finally lost her voice. After what felt like forever, the pain finally washed away and Rebecca was on the brink of losing conciousness. She barely had any breath left but on the plus side, her heart was no longer trying to burst from her chest.

Though she felt nothing at all, she was positive she was still alive. She moved her fingers, toes and finally head - proving to herself that she was still alive. She opened her eyes, blinking away tears she hadn't noticed were there, and locked her gaze with Anna who was at a loss for words. Anna looked away from her and to something else. She lifted her hand from Rebecca's chest where the wires were at and occupied it with jotting more notes down.

The medic turned her head to what Anna was looking at and had to do a double take.

The dragging 'beep' finally reached her ears and the line that should've been going up and down, was a mere perfect line.

Rebecca was dead.

(1) I have no idea what those are called but they stick to your skin and there's a metal thingy in the middle that connects to the wires and shows your heart beat or whatever else they're connected to. When I was in the hospital they were used to monitor my collapsed lung.

Wow that took forever! I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter because I enjoyed writing it! Reviews are greatly appreciated and gives me motivation to continue.

Anna nodded and went back to work while William went over to the examination table where Rebecca was supposedly sleeping.

He looked over her petite figure, a smug look upon his slightly aged face. Rebecca felt his cold eyes on her and tried in vain to suppress a shiver though she didn't do much good in it. She hoped it went unnoticed by the man. Suddenly, she felt his warm fingers travel up her arm and across her bust. She held her breath as he continued down her front and stop at the hem of her shirt. The scientist pushed the fabric up and made small invisible circles around her naval. Rebecca's muscles tensed greatly and she tried so hard not to scream. However, that was beginning to be hard to suppress for William's entire hand slip up her shirt and the feeling of his hand on her skin finally made her shiver.

"You damn pervert!" With great aim, Anna chucked her clipboard and hit William's head.
