Unconvetional

A/N: Hey guys! sorry it took so long to update! SCHOOL SUCKS! anyway, the chapters might come a little slow now, because I was on ff.net today, and realized... final fantasy 7 is my favorite game, so why don't i have anything posted for it? So I am gonna start working on a story for that. I promise to finish this series out though, don't worry!

The ground floor was very quiet. Billy took Rebecca by the hand and crept over to a corner, carefully peeking around just to be safe. "Nothing," he said, and they ran out into the next hallway. Only the emergency lights were on, giving the whole building a creepy feeling, and add that to the fact that monsters where running mad about the place and it made this Rebecca's number one place that she DID NOT want to be. But what could she do? She had to do this.

"The control room is right ahead, right?" she asked in a low voice.

"Yeah," came the reply.

Rebecca froze. Something had moved behind them. Turning slowly she brought her gun up and aimed it back down the hall. It was in the shadows. Moving stealthily towards them. "Billy," she whispered.

Suddenly it burst out at them. A licker! It flung it's claws out towards Rebecca, reaching, it's tongue flicking out.

A couple of shots to it's head brought it crashing to the ground. It was not dead yet though. Billy ran up and kicked it hard, trying his best to conserve ammo. Rebecca did not care about the ammo, she unloaded on the thing, years of practice making it so Billy was safe. Five shots, three to it's head and the other two to the chest, stopped it's moving altogether.

"C'mon Billy, we have to hurry."

They continued to run down the hall.

***************

After a few short minutes they reached the control room. "It has to be in here," Rebecca said, picking the lock as Jill had taught her how to do. Little did she know that she was now the only one of them who knew how to do this.

As she opened the door she heard footsteps come from the hallway. Turning, she saw Claire, Carlos, and Leon approach from the other hallway than the one she and Billy had taken. "Claire!" she called.

Claire looked up from her running and screamed out, "Quick! Get in the room!"

Not waiting for an explanation, Billy grabbed Rebecca and sent her flying into the control room, slamming the door shut behind her. He was still on the outside. Rebecca fell to the ground, cursing at Billy, and her gun skittered across the floor. From outside she could hear gunshots.

From the dark inside the room she heard a grunt. Then another...

***************

Claire Redfield was running to the control room, away from the cerebuses that were chasing them. Normally she would want to kill the bastards, but there was at least twelve of them, and she knew they could not take that many at once. When she saw Rebecca with that man up ahead, she wanted her to be safe. The man, whom she did not know, did not go inside, but instead started shooting past them to the demon dogs that appeared around the corner.

Catching up with him, she spun around and opened fire on the dogs. They kept coming around the corner. Carlos lost his footing and fell hard on the ground.

"NO!" Claire shouted, and moved to help him, but the man took hold of her arm and told her to stop.

Still shooting, Claire watched as the dogs came upon Carlos as he struggled to get up and was forced back down as one jumped on top of him. His face slammed against the ground hard and blood spirted from his mouth. Chris, where the hell are you? she thought, trying to shoot the dogs off Carlos.

Leon was screaming and firing like crazy, every ten seconds it seemed he was reloading and then unloading again. He was not aiming, he was too blinded by fright to do anything like that. Damnit, Claire thought, we only have so much ammo!

One of the dogs bit deep into Carlos' pants and ripped through to the skin. A chunk of meaty flesh ripped off when the dog pulled his jaws out, and Carlos wailed in agony.

In the room, Rebecca looked around to see three shadows start to move. Shit, she thought. Of course. Where had her gun gone? She looked around frantically, searching on the ground around her as the zombies began shuffling closer to her...
