The first chapter was quite short... But it was only an introduction to the real thing.
Shall we begin?
Welcome back to the nightmare…..
Jill ran past her apartment's entrance. Leaving the beast behind, she went out to the streets. What she saw really scared her. That alley… that alley from Raccoon City, the same alley that she found Dario's daughter lying dead on the ground. She ran past some debris, dead bodies at her right and at her left. Ran past a wrecked police car, still with some smoke coming out from its crashed engine.
She sensed the danger(and heard the beast calling 'STARS'), then ducked. Right on time! A barrel went flying over her; that could really take her down if it hit her.
Dammit!
She began to run. The moment in the apartment ran over her mind too. The beast calling the name of her former special unit. I can't face him with only my Beretta and a knife. I have no sufficient ammo and have no room to fight either. She said to herself.
And she was right. The best thing she could do was running to grab that Anti-Virus while she still could run and fight. If she take too long, it will be too late.
So she waited for the beast to attack, Dodged it, ran through his right side(Nemesis is left-handed) and went out to the streets, running literally for her life, entering the alley, and the rest 'till now we already know.
Anyway, Jill found out that her current city looked very similar to Raccoon City…. No, It's just your confused and dizzy mind, Jill. In front of her was a fence, marking the end of the alley, and a closed gate with a lock. Jill started to climb it, and reached the top just before Nemesis find her.
STARS! – the monster shouted
Jill jumped down to the other side, rolling when her came to the floor.
And left the monster, running like crazy through the street, wondering why didn't she grabbed her lock pick when she left home. Off course she didn't! She neither had time to think, just to run for her life. She crossed an empty street, passing in front of an empty restaurant, with all lights turned on. Inside it, hanging on a wall were a hunting shotgun. The restaurant – now she recognized it – were one of her police partner's favorite.
After all what happened in Africa, With Wesker's death, Chris' new partner – some Piers guy – Jill just wanted to live a normal life. She kept saying herself that it would be better that way, but… Jill felt coward. After all what she did, a job again in a police station weren't enough. She wanted to fight again.
No. Fight was not what she wanted. It was what she needed. She didn't want to, but it always have been her duty, to fight against bio-warfare… A threat that would never end. Looking through that window, in this moment of hesitation, Jill decided that if she survived, she would call Chris, tell him that she would want to go back to the fight. But that if she survive.
Jill entered the restaurant, the bell over the door rang when she opened it, and some noise came out from the restaurant's kitchen. Jill already known what that meant, so she just grabbed the shotgun, and quickly went to the shelf behind the counter to get some ammo.
Filling the jacket pockets with hunting ammo for Shotguns, she didn't lost time to go back to the streets.
Nemesis was gone, but not for long, she knew that. That bastard always find his way to her.
Holding the shotgun with her right hand, she promised to the restaurant that she would bring back the shotgun to its owner.
The police station were about 3 miles(4.8 KM) north from her house.
*bang, bang!*
Jill heard distant gunshots.
- SOMEBODY HELP ME! – a man's voice shouted. Wait, I know that voice!
The decision couldn't be worst: two important points to go, two essential things to do: her salvation, going north to the police station; or her duty: to go south and find out whoever needs help.
He's better to really needs help – she said, and ran southwards.
The man was cornered in the wall. Three zombies after him, cornering him and letting the man out of choices of where to run.
Shoot'em in the head! – Jill shouted, and the mand, with his hands shaking shot the first one.
But after the shot, one of the zombies grabbed his arm, and opened its mouth. The man cried in fear, just before the zombie's head blow up, and the remaining zombie had the same fate.
The man looked to Jill. She heard something that was almost a "thank you" and the man sat on the floor, shocked.
Are you okay?
Y… Yeah – the man said – T... thank you.
Have you been bitten?
No, I haven't.
Oh, thank God. I'm Jill, what's your name?
Colin… Colin… hum… - the man was clearly in shock
He stood up.
Is it the Conductor Colin from the subway station?
Y… Yeah, how do you know this?
I know your voice. I sometimes have to use the subway to go to work. Traffic in this city is almost impossible to go through.
Yeah, it's really like that – he was more relaxed
Jill knew that when you relax a little bit, and become less desperate, your body works a little better.
So, are you going to somewhere special? – Jill asked
No, I… I mean, these things just appeared and attacked me…
And what about this gun, where did you found it?
It's mine, I bought it a couple of months ago. Started to learn how it works only today, though.
Should be enough. C'mon, let's head to the police station. It'll be a lot safer – Jill felt some strange sensation, like she was 'stealing' somebody's line.
Yeah, we should do that.
We'd better avoid big streets and cars. And hum…
What is it? – Colin asked
It's better for you if you go first.
Would you leave me alone again?
It's not that; it's just….
** GROOOOOOAAAR! **
WHAT THE FUCK…..! – Colin shouted.
Because of THIS! Run, Colin! To the police station, I'll meet you there! – the same strange feeling, again – And Colin!
He was already running
What is it now? – he asked, quite far now
Remember: shoot'em in the head!
In the head! Got it!
Her duty was half-completed. Now she just had to draw nemesis away from Colin. And from her cure.
Jill opened the shotgun's chamber, to insert two more bullets in it.
Now, 6 bullets here, and 15 more in my Beretta. I don't have time to reload.
The monster came out from nowhere. So you still have this skill, don't ya?
From the other side of the street, Nemesis began to run towards her. In the right time... I have to find the right time…
And the right time came. She dodged the attack, and aimed the shotgun to the monster's head.
*BANG!* She fired once
*BANG!* Fired once again.
Nemesis surely felt the heavy ammo in his head, pieces of meat in the air, and the shots have lacerated his head's flesh. But his skull was completely intact. He turned to her ans tried to grab her. Almost did it, but Jill slipped under him, reaching the monster's back. He turned too much quickly and hit her hard in the chest with his arm. But Jill felt nothing when were hit, or when she fell on the ground. Not at all. This frightened her out more than Nemesis's punch, speed or endurance. The virus was very close to complete the infection. She felt the same torpor when she was infected by the first time.
She quickly got up, and rolling out from his arm's reach.
STARS…
Yeah, baby boy. STARS.
*BANG!* she shot his face.
- UURRGH – the monster really felt it. Jill blown his face up with the shotgun. He was blind and confused because of it. The monster started to hit the air, wherever it heard a sound.
Jill used this opportunity to empty the shotgun in him. Fired three more times in his head, arm and veins. The monster fell and stayed there, motionless.
It's just temporary. It'll come for me later, but I don't have time to kill it now.
Jill turned north. Wondered how Colin was going. She needed to hurry, so reloaded the shotgun, and holding it with only the right hand, began to run north.
Once I get there, I need to contact Carlos.
She was starting to feel hot and itchy.
Itchy…. she thought while the night's cold air filled her lungs.
