Okay, highschool is a real bytch. So I'm sorry this took a really long time.
CHAPTER FOUR:
It entered gasping for breath. The Hunter Project of Umbrella, was one of many predators that was deadly in battle. The woman with the poisonous black hair turned to face her loyal pet.
" Hunter!" she cried and ran over to the fallen creature," Hunter, where is Selina?"
Dead, miss. Selina's dead. O- Olivera killed her. the thing projected into her head for the creature could not talk, Olivera- not Prospero.
" No. No!!" the woman screamed as the creature died.
She turned to the large screen and saw the images of the people she hated. Selina had identified each of them. Olivera and Prospero were at the top. The last message meant something and as the woman stared at the images she tried to comprehend what the creature said.
" Olivera not Prospero." she whispered and continued to stare.
She turned to one of her technichians by the name of Clark Wyatt.
" The flashdrive from Agent Park." she said.
" But it's locked on your orders."
" There is something I overlooked." she admitted and saw Clark raise an eyebrow as he left.
Within fifteen minutes he returned with the flashdrive and tossed it to her. The brunette plugged it into a computer and started to run it against Umbrella files. She smiled at herself. Agent Marina Park was a brilliant agent that was formerly hired by Umbrella but was offered a position with the feds. The woman helped take the corporation down and now she was gone, but according to these files she knew Alice Propsero from her time in the Security Division.
The files were supposedly just random letters and numbrers that someone from The Matrix could've read but it was simple. Using documents accessible by Security Division agents, the woman found that the numbers and letters ran immediately against the documents. It was an encrypted message and she continued to run it until everything was decoded.
She laughed malevolently as Clark came from behind her." What's so funny, miss?" he asked.
" Park kept in touch with Prospero and was invited to her wedding." the woman replied staring at the article.
" Park was a single parent. Her husband was killed-" Clark started but was cut off.
" Park wasn't the one getting married, you idiot." the woman hissed," Prospero was."
" Really, to who?"
The article was put up on the main screen and images extracted from a clip on file was on the screen right next to it.
" She married Olivera." the woman said," Alice Prospero is now Alice Olivera."
She understood what the creature meant by Prospero now Olivera. Clark skimmed the article that was documented as if it were a diary for Marina Park. It was written in first person.
" I've never seen her so happy." it read," It looked like she was going to cry but her friends were crying instead, I wasn't crying though. Carlos and Alice were smiling at each other all the way through. This was her first real marriage. I was there for the fake one to Spence and I was also there when Carlos proposed to Alice that night in the manor when everyone was there. God, I've never seen her so in love-"
" Marina was there with Olivera and Prospero through nearly everything." Clark said," So, Olivera and Prospero are married. That makes things much more interesting."
" So does this." the woman went on as another file appeared on the far side," Park has a daughter."
" But what about your main targets?" Clark asked.
" Get more Hunters and more infectants to that manor. Get them to capture anyone in sight."
" For what? More experiments?"
The thought hadn't crossed the loyalist's mind but she shook it off," No, we use them as bait."

Chris kept staring at Kirsten Park. Park. Park. That name was so familiar. The teenagers were quiet as Alice and Carlos explained the situation, they were completely lost. The topics varied from Jasen and Angela's dreams, the incidents with the agents' deaths-
Halfway through the talk Jasen, Angela, and Kirsten went into the hall. They didn't understand so Jasen led them out.
" After this, we're taking you home." he whispered to Kirsten. He was not going to risk his girlfriend's life over something that he himself didn't understand.
" No, I want to help." she protested.
" You don't know what's going on." he argued.
" And neither do you!" Kirsten fired back.
" Kirs, this has nothing to do with you." Angela came in trying to help her brother, Kirsten was one of her best friends and she didn't want to see anything happen to someone that was innocent.
" Yes, it does. I was there when the creatures attacked." she replied.
" You were with me and Angela. No one knows about you. So, we can leave you with your parents- he said and Kirsten stopped listening.
Her parents. She hadn't seen her mther for a whole year. Her mother left her to live with her aunt and her father was dead two years as of now. She had no parents, she had no identity as far as Jasen and Angela were concerned. Her aunt never really took care of her and never cared and when the broadcast came on about her mother-
" My parents won't miss me." she whispered.
Angela and Jasen stared," What?"
" I haven't seen my mother in a year and my father's dead." she whispered leaving out one little thing. One little fact.
Carlos heard it all. He didn't mean to eavesdrop on his son and daughter's conversation but there was something about Kirsten that he couldn't shake off his mind. He remembered when Marina Kerrington told them to watch over her. Marina was one of Alice's friends before the Hive which made her special to Alice for she was the connection to her world before all this Umbrella shit started.
At the same time, Carlos was thankful for all the Umbrella shit. Without it he would've never met Alice and the others. He would've never fallen in love with Alice and he wouldn't be married to her for seventeen years. He wouldn't be immortal and- there was a whole list of things that without Umbrella would've never happened. Okay, he wasn't thankful for all the shit but he was just praying that everything would end.
" Carlos!" Alice shouted and he turned to his wife.
" What?" he asked and realized he wasn't paying attention to the group.
" I know who Kirsten really is." Chris came in.
Carlos looked at him confused," What?"
" Look, Park is the maiden name of the lead agent that helped Claire, Leon, and me reveal Umbrella. You guys know her as Marina Kerrington." Chris replied.
Carlos and Alice stared at him.
" That's Marina's daughter?" Alice asked and stared at Kirsten.
That was what was nagging at Carlos. He saw that Kirsten and Marina shared the same blue eyes. That was the reason Marina came to them. She wanted Alice and Carlos to protect her daughter.
" Jasen! Angela! Kirsten!" Alice called them and the three teenagers walked into the room.
" Mrs. Oli-" Kirsten started and stopped," I'm sorry. Alice, there's something I need to tell you."
" Would it happen to be the fact that you were my friend's daughter?" Alice asked startling the fourteen-year old girl.
" What do you mean?" she asked, shocker," You knew my mother?"
" Marina Kerrington?" Carlos asked not answering the question.
" Yes, her married name." Kirsten replied and Alice understood now. That was the reason she never made the connection. The last names. Kirsten's was Park and Marina used her maiden name. Alice realized she never knew her friend's maiden name and she never told her.
" But that wasn't what I was going to say." the girl said as the group stared at her," I was going to tell you that you can't take me home."
" Why not?" nearly the whole group of adults asked because it was their plan to get the innocent out of the way.
" Because my parents are both dead." she said and saw Jasen and Angela stare at her," My father's been dead for two years and my mother was the lead agent that was murdered. My aunt doesn't care whether I live or die and-"
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes and the whole group exchanged glances. It was silent for a moment as Kirsten turned to Jasen and cried onto his shoulder.
" Jasen, take her and your sister upstairs. Get some sleep." Carlos whispered to his son seeing the time was twelve in the morning.
" Dad, I want to know what's going on." Jasen said.
" Jasen, please, not now. Everything will be explained. I promise." he said as Jasen took Angela and Kirsten upstairs to the guestrooms and the bedrooms.
Once they were out of sight Carlos turned to the silent group. Everyone was staring at him and Alice.
" So, what's the plan now?" LJ asked and everyone turned to stared at him.
He shrugged," Why's everybody looking at me?"
" Okay, recap." Leon said," Jasen's girlfriend is the daughter of the lead agent that helped us. That means the kids'll be targeted."
" Not really." Alice said," Umbrella doesn't know that Jasen and Angela Olivera exist. They don't know that Marina Kerrington's daughter is Kirsten Park."
" So?" Claire asked," Umbrella's shut down. It's those bitch-ass projects that are making the calls now. They'll make a connection one way or another."
" She's got a point." Carlos said," It's not Umbrella we're dealing with. More on the line of their successors. They tracked us and god knows how long it'll take them to send reinforcements."
" No, about Jasen and Angela and Kirsten. We treat them as we would with recruits." Alice said and Carlos caught on.
" So, that means no more "Mom" "Dad" stuff?" KMart asked.
" Basically. "Carlos summarized.
" Okay, recap." Leon said.
" Again?" Eddie asked.
" About our plan." Leon added and turned to the others," We've got no clue about where these bastards are. Anybody got that part of the problem covered?"
Leon's point hit the group hard. It was true. They had no idea who they were dealing with. Their opponent was the one calling the attacks and Alice, Carlos and the group didn't know what to expect.
" Well, one thing's for sure." Betty said, crossing her legs and leaning back in her seat," We better get prepared. We're in for a whole load of shit."

Jasen stayed up and saw the lights go out in the hallways and the manor. All but one light went out and he knew that someone was awake. He wanted to find out what the hell his father and mother were hiding from him. If his parents weren't going to explain he'd go to his parents' friends.
Creeping downstairs into the den, he saw that LJ was sitting there with a gun in his lap and saw Jasen.
" Hey, kid." he smiled," You should be asleep. Your parents an' the rest of 'em are gettin' some rest."
" Rest for what?" Jasen asked taking a seat.
" Your parents'll tell ya." LJ replied.
" They haven't told me about my freakin' dreams and why those things attacked. LJ, please. I need to know. I need to understand." Jasen begged," Please, my parents just want to protect me. But shield me from what?"
LJ stared at the sixteen year old. He was a freakin' image of Carlos but at sixteen.
" Oh, alright." he sighed as he leaned forward in his seat," Look, there was some city called Raccoon City. Know what it is?"
" It had towers, a city hall-" Jasen said thinking that the place he had dreamt about was the city," A nuclear explosion."
" Your mom did say you had the dreams of their memories." LJ muttered before going on," Well, ya see. All those years ago, your parents, an' me, an' a whole lot of people that are right now dead survived the blast. That city was where your parents met and the dreams you and Angie had was what happened to them in Raccoon.
Eventually, your mom was killed in the crash and was brought back to life. With me so far?" LJ asked.
" I think." Jasen replied," If she died-"
" I'm gettin' there, kid. Hang on." he said and went on," A corporation called Umbrella-"
" The ones who cause the near apocalypse all those years ago?" Jasen asked.
Of course, Jasen knew about that. The whole world knew about Umbrella and Raccoon but not all of the people. Umbrella, a corporation, had developed illegal viral weaponry that had gotten loose and wreaked havoc world-wide. It caused people to die and become reanimated with a hunger for human flesh. Basically, these people were zombies that could infect you with one bite. Everything seemed to be falling into place.
" Yeah, that piece of shit." LJ replied," Look, your father and a few of us got your mom out of Umbrella's hands and she disappeared to "protect" us." he said and made air quotes," We all know she liked your dad and was trying to save his ass from becoming and Umbrella target. But the battle between the survivors and Umbrella just went on and- well your parents were reaunited one night.
We actually met trying to kill the lickers. You know the things with a tounge?"
" Yeah, those fuckers." Jasen muttered.
" Well, after that we moved to wage war against Umbrella and your father ended up getting immortalized by injecting himself with the T-Virus. Your parents went against their own enemies and died. Alice against this bastard named Isaacs and Carlos against this super-agent named Wesker."
" Um, ya lost me there." Jasen said.
LJ laughed," I knew I would. Okay, so your mom died and was brought back to life by a friend of ours and the same thing went for your dad."
" Who brought them back?"
" Kid, let's not get inta that." LJ said.
" Okay, so my dreams-" Jasen said shaking his head, he still didn't understand. Fuck, will someone please explain it to him straight.
" Are as real as those motherfuckers you blew the shit out of earlier tonight."
" Those were-"
" Biohazards created by Umbrella's experimentation." someone finished but it wasn't LJ.
Jasen turned to see that his father was leaning on the post of the entrance to the den.
" Dad-" Jasen started but Carlos held his hand up to silence him.
" You'd find out eventually." Carlos said as LJ got up.
" I'll give you some father-son talk time." LJ said and slipped out of the room.
" Jasen, I didn't want to tell you." Carlos said.
" Tell me that my parents are the coolest people on earth?" Jasen asked and Carlos turned to stare at his son.
" Cool- what?" Carlos asked.
" Dad, you and mom fought a corporation that nearly brought the extinction of mankind. You, mom, and the others are responsible for saving the world! Why wouldn't you want to tell me that?"
Carlos shook his head," Jasen, it's not that cool when you've actually been a hero."
" What do you mean?" Jasen asked taking his seat as Carlos took the seat LJ had earlier.
" Saving the world came at a price. It meant that normal could never happen. It meant that death was always going to be around the corner." Carlos explained," I lost your mother for five years. I lost my friends and relatives. Umbrella nearly killed off the whole human population and it nearly killed everyone in this manor."
" Dad, I don't get it. Why didn't you tell me? Okay, I'm scared to die and being a hero means facing death but why not tell me."
" Because I don't want you to live a life with the pain I lived with." Carlos replied.
Jasen shook his head," Dad, I don't get it."
Carlos smiled," Didn't expect you to. Don't want you to. Look, Jasen. Just go to sleep."
" But, Dad- Vegas, the world, Raccoon am I ever gonna know what happened?" he asked but Carlos shook his head and laughed.
" Sorry, Jasen. Go to sleep." he said and Jasen sighed as he went up the stairs," Jasen!"
" Yeah, Dad?" Jasen called.
" Forget it. I'll tell you tomorrow." Carlos said as he watched his son disappear. His enhanced senses picked up someone else breathing and he smiled," LJ, you can come out now."
" How'd you know?" he asked as he emerged," Oh, forget it. C'mon, Carlos-"
" What?" he asked.
" Go to sleep, man." LJ said.
" Nah, you go rest." Carlos replied looking around uncomfortably. There was something wrong here. He could sense it.
" What's wrong, Carlos?" LJ asked seeing Carlos stand up and look around.
Carlos heard something creak outside, something was growling. It was coming from behind LJ, from the hole in the wall. Carlos drew his gun.
" LJ, get down!" he yelled as he drew his gun and pointed it at the dark area behind LJ.
The man got down and drew his gun pointing it at the black abyss behind him as well. Something was growling or there.
Alice! he yelled telepathically.
Carlos? she was sleepy, Carlos, where are you? What's wrong?
There's something in the house.
Sorry for the long wait and for nothing happening but there's gonna be more. Please, review tell me what you think and I'll update as soon as there are enough reviews.
