Chapter Three

Rebecca sat outside of the small trailer house talking to Claire. The area they were in seemed to be an old deserted trailer park. It seemed vacant except for the few trucks, small RVS, and cars that were there. "Claire I don't know. I have never seen anything like this. It could be a bad fever or some sort or Virus. I don't know though, I feel so helpless."

Claire stroked her back and hugged her. " listen Rebecca, you did all you could. I'm sure shell be fine in the morning. Besides no one will be disturbing her so long her guard dog is on duty, that woman gives me the creeps."

Rebecca smiled and nodded. " yeah, almost seems like she's not human. I hope its just a fever and Jill feels better, we really need her for this mission."

Claire hugged the smaller woman again. " you'll see it will be fine tomorrow. Jill is a strong woman and wont let any fever kick her down."

Alice sat there in the darkness of the room. She didn't understand what was wrong with her friend which worried her. She did know it was abnormal, not human. She could only guess it was side effects of her helping her earlier with her wounds. It had to be because she felt her pain…it was similar to her pain when the virus would spread through her body. She knew Jill wasn't infected but also knew that she now had a very odd connection to the woman. She would have to be careful from now on, she didn't like to be the one causing her friends pain.

Jill woke up in a sweat, she had a nightmare, a terrible nightmare. She had no clue where she was and didn't care and hugged her knees. The nightmare was too real and she didn't understand it. It was like she was in another persons body.

She took in her surroundings and noticed she was in small bedroom. Her clothing was removed and laying on the back of a chair. She realized that she must have passed out when they landed. She sighed and ran a hand through her bangs and stood up on shaking legs. She grabbed the back of chair and leaned on it for support, this wasn't a good start out for mission. The door flew open and she glanced at the person and then smiled in relief.

" God Alice, almost thought you were one of the guys. Can you please close the door?"

Alice shut the door behind her and set some items down on the desk Jill was standing by.

" Valentine you look like shit….are you ok?"

Jill rolled her eyes, " Thanks for the warm hello. I'm fine thank you, just resting my legs."

Alice eyes trailed down to her legs which were visibly shaking. " Come on, sit down."

Alice helped her sit down in the chair. " Thought you might be hungry, got you an actual meal."

Jill glanced at the container of apple juice and the sandwich. She also looked at the folded clothes.

" thank you. I can tell you picked out the clothes."

Alice raised an eyebrow and leaned against the wall. " Oh?"

Jill smiled. " Seems like clothes a butch woman would pick."

Alice glared at her. " I think I liked you better when you were unconscious."

Jill smiled and took a bite of her food. " I think you like any woman that is unconscious."

Alice growled at her, the last thing she wanted was Jill joking about such things in front of those two kids. She had a feeling the younger women would bug her about things like that. Jill glanced at her and laughed and continued to eat. Alice watched as Jill stood up and slipped the clothes on.…Jill was right, the clothes did seem a little butch on her. Jill glanced at baggy camouflage pants and the white t shirt. It was most definitely not her style however she couldn't complain much, they were clean.

" With that outfit you should be attracting your normal gangs of sexual fiends." Alice stated smiling.

" How would you even know what I attract."

" I do not need to know. Your ass could attract any lesbian within a ten mile radius."

Jill crossed her arms. " Better then my ass attracting a horde of zombies like you tend to do."

Alice was going to reply when the door opened. With the spot she was in and the door opened, she was behind the door.

" Jill hey, I'm glad to see your back on your feet," Claire stated keeping her hand on the door knob and staying at the doorway.

" Becky wanted me to check up on ya. She's scared of that butch looking friend of yours, ill tell you what, looks like that woman does steroids. She guarded your ass all night, it was great because I sent my bro in here to say hi and he ended up being thrown out." Claire stated laughing.

Jill glanced at Claire and back to Alice and busted out laughing. Claire raised her eyebrow at her not understanding why she was laughing.

" Well Jill, I'm gonna tell Becky to come and check on you. Where is your muscle woman? We could use a hand loading some of the tech up ya know."

Jill was still laughing and waved her off and Claire just shrugged and closed the door. Alice gave Jill a deadly look however that didn't stop Jill from laughing.

" Not one word Valentine, not one." Alice stated in a harsh tone leaving the room.

Jill wiped the tears from her eyes and grabbed her pocket knife and gun and slipped on her shoes and went outside. Rebecca saw Jill come out and waved to her and ran to her happily.

" Jill, I'm very glad to see you are up and looking healthy. Your friend is helping us load some stuff, thank her for me. I have to run and get some medical supplies. Barry and Chris are in that trailer over there and would like to talk to your team. I don't know how Barry is going to like Alice, they have yet to talk, have fun!" Rebecca said running off and placing a sticker on her shoulder.

Jill whistled and Alice responded, " Do you have to be so damn loud Valentine!"

" Come on muscles! Get the team together! Were being briefed in a few!"

" Fuck you Valentine!" Alice yelled and came around from the large vechicle she was loading

Jill grinned and they both flipped each other off before heading to the other trailer to get briefed. Barry and Chris turned their heads as the door screeched open.

" JILL!" Chris said running up to her.

Jill moved the side avoiding his embrace, the guy was friendly sometimes. " hey Chris. I can see you've been working out. I'd like you to meet my team."

Barry glanced at the door as three more people came in, she certainly had recruited an odd team.

" Chris and Barry. This is Carlos, Angie, LJ, and of course a good friend of mine Alice."

Chris extended his hand towards Alice. " I think we should greet ourselves properly this time."

Alice raised her eyebrow and turned her attention to the older man. He had knowledge she knew that, however he seemed to be a little soft. " So Barry, have you thought of any plan?"

Barry narrowed his eyes at her. " We were able to get one of our people inside the hive unfortunately we lost contact with them a week ago. What we learned however will be very useful. They are still building the hive however the building is almost complete. Our best choice to get in without getting slaughtered is a disguise. We will have to take a long route to get inside the building itself. There almost done working on a small tunnel that runs from a lake to their building, I say its about ten miles long. They are building this to dispose of their waste, it'll be heavily guarded with men but nothing else. It is inside the property of the Hive which is why we go in disguised and enter from all the way in the back, we wont draw to much attention."

Alice rubbed her nose. " What about outside surveillance?"

" They haven't completed that, they have the front areas and the side areas under heavy camera surveillance but they haven't leveled the terrain in the far back yet. Rebecca will hack into their systems and make sure to keep them blind of all surveillance for at the very most a minute."

" Doesn't that seem a little out of the usual," Jill stated placing her hand on her hip.

" well yes it does. However were striking on a night a big storm is coming in." Barry replied rubbing his beard.

" That's just great man, we get all soaking wet and try and infiltrate a high tech building," LJ stated.

Barry grinned." I am keeping a team outside the perimeters of the hive, we need to backup teams just in case. Me and Chris will be outside, we have to keep communication tight during the storm. Id like the other two men to be one of the teams outside as well."

" Whoa wait a minute. Your sending in the girls only?" Carlos stated standing up to his feet.

He immediately sat back down as Jill and Alice glared at him.

" yes, the girls are the only ones small enough to get in through the shaft. Half of its completed by now and when we arrive, it'll almost be completely finished so be aware if they add surveillance." Barry stated.

" Where is our primary objective?" Alice asked.

" We don't believe they have this new virus created, which is why we choose it as our target. The T-virus however should be in there so use caution. This new hive immediately cleans any area with infection, they have new filtration system cleaning the virus out of the area however this is a very long process. If caught in that room you will be incinerated so not to mess with the cycle. So we are sending you down their to blow some areas up, you'll receive time bombs and once all of you have your bombs in place we will set a timer. One team will be solely concentrating on planting these bombs and one team will be focused on gathering any vital data that will prove useful to us. If at all a emergency occurs I want both teams to pull back, I will not have any ones life be endangered."

Alice popped her neck. " Are their computers up and running?"

Barry smiled." They are not, we had one of our men deal with their computer expert. I know they hired a replacement however its very basic . Not nearly as advanced as the one described in the first hive. That one we were told will not be installed until the completion of this hive, which is why we are going in so soon. We have a lot of information about this place but not all we need, I admit that. If we do not strike now, Umbrella will get a step of ahead us and we will never to bring them down. The teams will be mostly focused on the last floors, you will enter somewhere around the middle. You each will have a cloaked tracking device, only we can detect where you are at all times. Communication is a bit more tricky, you'll have watches that are connected to each other, your messages will all be in Morse code. The watch itself doesn't make any noise but the message will be received through an ear piece you must have in at all times, I don't care if its uncomfortable or not."

Jill tapped her boot against the floor. The whole thing sounded alright, sketchy but alright. She glanced at Alice who nodded at her and she smiled.

" Alright Barry. Your going to have re teach our asses Morse code though, I have long since forgotten that shit since the academy."

Barry smiled and shook her hand. " I know you wont disappoint me Jill."

They all glanced at the door as Claire and Rebecca walked in.

" Where the hell were you Redfield? I never said for you to join Chambers!"

Claire patted Barry on the shoulder. " take it easy old man. I thought Becky could use a hand. Besides you've briefed us ten times on your crap."

Alice grinned as she easily detected the young kids lie. She also could easily smell the scent of the women's arousal, well looks like the kid had a special bond with the other younger one. She felt it would be better for them on this mission, they both were smart and would be sure no harm came to each other.

Jill smiled as Barry lectured the young rebel. She might not take things so seriously but she certainly could handle anything thrown at her. Jill glanced at Alice and walked outside the small trailer. Alice followed her along with the others.

" I don't think you should do it Jill." Carlos stated walking up to her and grabbing her arm.

" Listen Carlos. This is our only chance, think of your friends you lost in Racoon. We can sit here and curse Umbrella or we can actually try something that's going to help bring them down."

" You know Jill he could be right. I mean come on, God only knows how many flipping secret buildings Umbrella has." LJ stated.

Alice decided to try and help defend Jill. " If we don't do this who else will? No one, we are very fortunate to have survived the incident in racoon. It took many sacrifices of our friends for us just to survive. If even we take out one of their facilities those sacrifices wont be in vain. If we ignore them like every person did in Racoon, a nuclear missile isn't going to wipe just one city. It may very well wipe out a state or country. How many more lives is it going to take for you guys to do something?"

Everyone remained quiet. It was true, it might seem foolish however uprisings against Umbrella had to start somewhere.

Jill smiled. " Well work together to bring them down. Whether it takes months or years, well do it. Remember its not just for us, the future as well."

Claire stepped outside the trailer and glanced at the silent group. " Jeez looks like you all just remembered how old you actually are or something."

Jill crossed her arms at the younger girl. " I'm not that old thanks."

Claire laughed. " admit it you all haven't had a date since you were my age."

They all glared at Claire and she flipped them off and was pushed by the smaller woman. " Be nice Claire, you shouldn't pick on people who are older then you, they have terrible sight and could accidentally shoot you."

Jill shook her head. " Bitches go load the equipment up, were short on time."

Claire smiled " Why do we have to unload the equipment?"

Alice grinned. " Were much to old to lift that. We don't have the energy you young kids have."

Claire rolled her eyes and grabbed Rebecca's shoulder and walked off towards the large truck. " Come on Becky, lets hurry up and do this."

There was four vehicles being driven to their next destination. They had a cargo plane waiting for them. The plane was destined for Tiksi in Russia. Tiksi in Russia was close to the River Lena. The hive was reported outside of Tiksi, in a unpopulated area. They would be dropped somewhere along the Lena river and would follow it to Tiksi. They had two jeeps which had desert camouflage. The other two vehicles were RV's which consisted nothing but computers. The jeeps would be backup vehicles if they needed them, they were hoping they wouldn't have to use them

Carlos, TJ, Barry, and Chris were driving vehicles. Claire and Rebecca were in a RV together. Alice and Jill were in a jeep with TJ and Angie sat in the front with TJ. Alice disliked the limited amount of weapons they had. It should be enough however, the more weapons she had the more comfortable she was invading a umbrella facility. She knew she would hardly being using any weapon though.

Jill was checking over the weapons again, she wanted each one running at its best.

" I think you like guns more then men," Alice stated.

Jill turned her head towards her and smiled. " They do shoot a much greater reward in my opinion."

Alice laughed and shook her head. " Well Valentine, you are correct on that."

Jill glanced over to her and smiled. " So what do you think of this entire thing?"

Alice turned her head to her and raised her eyebrows. " I think its going to get awfully messy. It should run smooth by the sound of it. I believe the other two girls can easily handle themselves. It seems like most of the people at the Hive will actually be guards and outside. I imagine with what they pay their staff, they wouldn't be willing to work in a place like that until its finished."

Jill nodded and strapped a knife to her boot. " I'm only concerned if we have a emergency. From what I gather, this ten mile shaft wont be a fast process."

Alice nodded and tilted her head back looking towards the sky. " That would be a problem. If they found out that's is where we escaped if we have to, we will be sitting ducks. They could very well have the thing protected as well, the only hard part could very well be the shaft."

Jill ran a hand through her hair and sat back thinking for a minute. She had never thought of that, it really depends on what kind of waste actually was meant to go down this shaft. " I guess well see when the time comes."

Alice scratched her eyebrow, crawling down a ten mile long shaft….would be hell.

Claire shoved Rebecca. " I'm telling you we can get better imaging!"

Rebecca shoved her hand in Claire's face and pushed her back. " You are not allowed to adjust the equipment miss know it all."

Claire crossed her arms. " I still think a better image would be nice."

Rebecca laughed and slid back under the desk connecting wires. " Everything must be enhanced better to you."

Claire smiled and slid back underneath with Rebecca. " Becky you know me so well."

Rebecca blushed at the use of the name Claire called her. She stopped working and glanced at Claire beside her through the goggles. " are you actually going to help me or just tell me what I SHOULD do?"

Claire smiled and pulled Rebecca back a little and got on top of her. " I have a few suggestions of what you should do."

Rebecca blushed more and was at a loss for words. Claire smiled down at the smaller woman, she was awfully cute when she was shy. Rebecca smiled at Claire and stroked her face. Claire grinned down at her leaned forward but stopped as Rebecca held a tool in her face.

" Well I suggest you should go check on the how much power usage this is going to take from the generators."

Claire pouted and gave Rebecca a puppy face. Rebecca smiled and kicked Claire in the leg.

" Ok, Ok, I'll go check. You work too much." Claire stated sliding out from under the desk and to check on the readouts.

Rebecca smiled and shook her head and went back to work. She began to muse about tomboy as she worked. They had always enjoyed each others presence, they were carefree and would have fun…act their age and not like heros. They had been put on a few minor missions since they had left racoon and that had brought them closer together. They realized they cared for one another greatly but still figured it was in a friendly way. Soon though, they wouldn't part, they needed that reassurance that the other was ok, that they still had each other. Well after they talked, they took their friendship on the next level. However there wasn't much changes, they would hug more often and share a kiss now and then. They slept together, they were each others comfort. Claire had been very forward lately, she was worried like usual for her well being.

" Becky, everything is running at its normal function!"

Rebecca smiled. " Alright, thank you Claire. Go do something fun like tease Barry."

Claire laughed. " Awww, am I distracting you Becky?"

Claire then saw a spark and heard Rebecca mumble a few curse words. " Wow Becky, I didn't know I had such a affect on you."

Rebecca slid her body out from the under desk and removed the goggles and glared at her. " Your such an ass."

Claire smiled and walked over and crouched down, she brushed the blood off her cheek. " Ill get something to clean this up."

Rebecca smiled softly. " Thanks."

Claire went in the front and brought the first aid kit out. Rebecca wiped the blood on the sleeve of her shirt, she had to be more careful. Claire returned and sat down next to Rebecca and turned her face towards her and wiped the small puncture clean.

" Sorry," Claire mumbled rubbing some cream on it.

Rebecca smiled at her. " Its not your fault. I should have been more careful."

Claire placed a band-aid on her cheek and stroked her shoulder. " I'll try not to be such an ass."

Rebecca laughed and stroked Claire's hair. " The day that happens will be the day I screw you."

Claire laughed at that. It was very true, they had a relationship but it was nothing like that…or at least not yet. Claire kissed Rebecca's forehead and stood up.

" Redfield! I don't hear Chambers working. Leave the girl alone since she is actually working unlike you!"

" I'm surprised you can still hold that much air in your lungs old man!" Claire shouted back winking at Rebecca and going to put the first aid kit away.

" Redfield why cant you be more like more brother!"

" Well if you want men that badly we can pick a few good Russian men for you while were there!" Claire replied.

Rebecca laughed and shook her head and went back to work. She wanted everything running perfectly for this mission.

The vehicles stopped and Alice and Jill woke up. They saw a single house and a large runway lighted. The house didn't seem all that big and she figured very few people lived in it.

A man came out holding a 12 gauge shotgun. " Who the hell are you?"

Barry stepped out of the RV and smiled. " Jack its been a long time."

The man laughed. " I'll be damn Barry, you've gotten fat."

Barry shook the mans hand. " Surprised we actually came?"

Jack laughed and tipped his cap back. " No I'm not Barry. Only you would so foolish to stand against Umbrella. I see you have quite a crew here."

Jack glanced down and smiled at the young woman. " Id be a very happy man if I was in your shoes."

Claire glared at him along with all the other women. " Oh he would if he didn't look his age," Claire replied grinning and crossing his arms.

Jack looked at the tomboyish young woman. " I can understand why he looks his age now."

Rebecca laughed at this and Claire nudged her. Jill smiled and approached Jack.

" Are you going to be the one flying?"

Jack laughed. " Hell no. I like to keep alive as in one piece and alive. My son will fly you young men and women. Are you guys taking the little girl with you?"

Angie looked at the ground feeling a little out of place. " I prefer to go with them if you don't mind sir, they are my friends."

"Josh get your lazy ass out here!" jack shouted.

A man came out from the building, he seemed to be in his late twenty's. " yes father?"

" Come introduce yourself. Be polite to the women, looks like they can kick your ass pretty easily. My son will tell you everything you guys need to know but for now I advise you get some rest, might be your last chance." Jack stated walking back in the house.

Josh looked at the group, he had to admit, he wouldn't mind flying them anytime. " Well I will be your pilot for this trip, we have a few planes but they are all cargo. What are you planning on taking?"

Barry pointed to the vehicles behind him. " Everything here."

Josh nodded and scratched the back of his head. " Alright that should be no problem. Ill have you guys load up tomorrow, to dark out here for that, don't want you run off a ramp or something. You guys feel free to look around, we have plenty of food, not that many rooms though, so come on and relax."

Claire smiled, feel free to look around huh. She grabbed Rebecca's arm and whispered, " Want to see if we can steal a cargo plane?"

Rebecca raised her eyebrow and replied back, " Claire, I think that is a terrible idea."

Claire smiled and whispered yet again. " Becky we could just see how much room it has and well if it has a comfy place to lay down…"

Rebecca blushed at what Claire was implying and looked at the grin on Claire's face and pushed her away. " I cant believe you."

Jill stopped walking towards the house and turned around and saw Claire whispering to a blushing Rebecca. " What kind of trouble are you two planning to get into?"

Claire and Rebecca glanced at Jill and smiled and they shrugged at the same time.

" Just don't break anything. If you go out cruising you only got three hours before I want you guys to eat and get some sleep."

" Relax Valentine, let the kids have fun."

Jill turned to see Alice approaching her and crossed her arms. " We cant have fun all the time Alice."

Alice grinned at her. " You know Valentine you are pretty lame. Ever stop and think of something fun that excludes shooting?"

Jill rubbed her chin. " hm let me think, no."

Claire and Rebecca stopped and observed the two women. Claire once again whispered to Rebecca, " We should so lock them up together to see what happens."

Alice turned her attention to the younger girls upon hearing what Claire said. " You think that would be funny Claire?"

Claire was shocked as the tall woman strided over to her. Jill was greatly confused along with the others.

Claire was at a loss of words, was she that loud? " I'm sorry, what?"

Alice glared at her and Jill grabbed her arm. " Be nice to the kid."

Alice turned on her and Jill glared at her. Alice grinned at her as she could feel Jill's determination.

" A little confident are we Valentine?"

" So are you I might say." Jill replied coldly.

Alice growled and stopped as sweat began to run down Jill's forehead. Jill turned away from the group and headed back towards the house holding her stomach. Alice twitched at the sudden pain throbbing in her side….it was happening again. She didn't understand, why…why did it affect her this way. Jill leaned on the side of house coughing and gasping for breath. She glanced over to Alice and noticed her hand was twitching. She look up into her eyes and saw….fear.

Rebecca was at Jill sides. " Jill can you hear me?"

Alice came beside Rebecca and picked Jill up and carried her inside. Rebecca stood there for a moment curious of the other womans actions. Claire came up behind her and hugged her, " maybe she knows what's wrong, I'm sure Jill is fine."

Rebecca nodded and leaned against the taller girl. She didn't understand Jills friend or jills sickness.

Alice wiped the sweat from Jills brow with a damp cloth. What was happening to her friend? She didn't understand any of it…because she didn't understand what she was anymore. She hoped….to find some answers soon. Jill was awake this time and pain jolted everywhere in her body. Pain in her chest, lungs, head, arms…everywhere.

" You…know don't you," Jill mumbled through coughs.

Alice shook her head. " I don't…I'm sorry."

Jill grabbed her arm roughly. " Alice….you wouldn't…be in here with me if you didn't know."

Alice kept the damp cloth on her forehead and held Jill's hand as she began twitching and waves of pain continued to roll in one after the other. Jill wanted to scream but her body wasn't going to allow that. She gripped the sheets tightly and arched up once in a while. She had been through a lot but she never once experienced such pain in her life, she felt she was dying from the inside out.

Alice couldn't take any more of it and sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed the woman's shoulders and hugged her tightly. " Your going to be alright, relax."

Jill dug her nails in Alice's back doing her very best to focus past the pain. She then felt Alice trembling…very similar to what she was doing right now. She gripped Alice harder as another wave of pain coursed through her body. She didn't want to try and understand at the moment, all she had was her friend helping her to get past this. Her vision began to swarm and soon the dark took over once again.

Her eyes snapped open, she felt very warm for some reason and rubbed her eyes focusing them. She glanced at the ceiling and then at the wall, she focused past Alice on top of her……wait.

" What the hell!"

Alice's eyes snapped open and she raised herself on her arms and noticed that she was hovering over jill. Confusion swept over her features.

All of the sudden the door swung open and Claire stepped in holding a handgun. " What's wrong……well ill be damn, didn't know you guys swing that way."

Rebecca came in behind her and blushed. " Oh my, did you interrupt anything Claire?"

Alice stood up and glared at the two younger women. " Not one damn word or ill kill you."

Claire smiled. " only if you videotape the next session for us."

Alice snarled at them causing the two girls to quickly close the door. Jill stood up and was surprised that she felt perfect. Alice crossed her arms and turned towards jill.

" I am sorry…I must have fell asleep."

" I guess its ok…I thank you for helping me again." Jill replied stretching and popping her neck.

Alice and Jill winced at the same time and rubbed there necks. Jill stopped and raised her eyebrow at Alice. " What the hell are you not telling me?"

Alice turned her back towards her. " later Valentine."

Jill snatched her arm, she was no longer messing around. " how the fuck do I know I can trust you to watch my back if you go behind me and lie to me?"

Alice this time look offended and growled at her and pushed her away. " You can trust me or not, that's your god damn choice, more then likely ill have to be saving your ass anyway!"

Jill pushed her into the wall and Alice kicked her back on the bed. Jill immediately kicked her back in the stomach and stood up and struck towards her face. Alice caught her arm and tripped her however Jill grabbed the waist of her pants pulling her down on top of her. Alice pinned the woman down and she struggled against her hold.

" You god damn bitch. Why wont you fucking tell me?" jill said in angry tone however Alice felt it was more like a plead.

" I told you I don't know Jill."

Jill spit in her face. " Fuck you!"

Alice growled at her and her senses increased. Her thoughts turned towards scents ,feel, and most of all want. She smelled blood and she was going to have it. Jill paused as Alice features changed, she had a deadly air about her. She then realized she had pushed her friend to far as she was thrown against the wall. Jills sight went blurry for a second and noticed Alice was already upon her and grabbed a hold of her throat lifting her up with one arm.

Jill kicked her back and pulled the arm off her throat falling to floor gasping for air. Alice picked her by her shirt, her nails digging into her flesh and she threw her against the wooden headboard on the bed. Jill had hit her head once again and groaned as Alice had pinned her down snarling at her. Jill feared what this woman was going to next, as Alice gripped her shoulders tightly.

Alice could only think of the fear and blood from the person below her. Jill struggled to throw her off however her body strength was too much.

" Alice please! I'm sorry…this isn't you! Alice please…remember raccoon."

Jill was cut off as pressure was put on her throat. Holy hell…her friend was going to kill her. What the hell had she done to anger her. She had only once choice left as she unhooked the pocket knife from her waist. She pulled it out quickly and held it against Alice's stomach…she hesitated….she couldn't do it…she couldn't kill her.

Alice grinned as she felt the blade held against her chest however she felt the knife drop and tears run down jills face. She loosened her grasp at the scent of the tears…this woman was crying because she couldn't kill her attacker. she stopped and looked at the blood on her hands. This….wasn't her…..she wasn't the cause of her friends deaths….she was suppose to protect them. She glanced down as Jill gasped to catch her breath….she…had hurt the only one she trusted.

Alice snarled and leaned down face to face with Jill. Jill was scared and turned her head to the side. She then heard a whisper.

" Do you seriously care for me so much that you cannot kill me even when your on the verge of death by my very own hands?"

Jill closed her eyes waiting for Alice to curse her foolishness. However that never came as Alice shakingly stroked Jill's cheek. She didn't open her eyes though, too afraid that she would see her angry friend. Alice focused on her scent…it was still….sweet. She leaned down and kissed Jill's cheek which caught Jills attention and she opened her eyes and faced her.

Jill had no clue what the hell was going through woman's mind now. Alice fought back her strong primal instincts to take what she wanted. She closed her eyes and sat up knowing very well it was just Umbrellas doing on such thoughts. Jill raised her eyebrow at Alice, she was greatly confused.

Alice got off of jill and backed up against a wall and slid down. She didn't understand….god she didn't understand. Jill stood up slightly shaken as she came close to death. She grabbed her knife and put it back in its sheath on her waist. She sighed deeply and crouched down in front of Alice.

" What has gotten into you? What is wrong?" Jill asked in a low voice, scared she might startle the woman in front of her.

Alice looked at the floor. " Umbrella…did something to me. I don't know what they did exactly but I do know….they did more then just revive me. You some how became….you…became…connected…linked to me."

Jill wasn't to sure what all this meant but whatever happened obviously worried Alice and it sounded like it confused her as well. Jill squeezed Alice's hand and smiled at her. " Well figure whats going on ok. Right now you need to remember what were going to be doing tonight…and your nothing like what Umbrella…wanted to make you."

Alice glanced up from her hands and looked at Jill. She was amazed that this woman could still…..trust her after what she did. She smiled, she was very happy to have a friend like her…one that tried to understand that she was different…and still treated her as any other person.

" Thanks Jill….I'm sorry."

Jill helped her up, " It wasn't your fault, were all a little tense."

Alice stood up and ran a hand though her hair. She had better go wash up, she probably looked like shit.

She also felt Jill could use Rebecca to help her with some of her wounds.

" I'm going to wash up, ill send Rebecca in here."

Jill stretched, " alright, thanks."

Jill sat on the bed and watched as Alice left, it had certainly been a hell of a couple days.
