CHAPTER EIGHT

Wesker kept his word. At least so far he had. The rooms were nice, with a standard bed, light, Closet and a small table and chair. The closet had two sets of clothing. Jacob sat on the bed, thinking of the fight that had broken out between him and his friends. It was all he could think about. Not only had they turned on each other, they also were labeled WEAK, In the enemy's eyes.

They would get two meals a day, according to Wesker. He had his first sitting in front of him. He frowned as he poked at the beans and stale chicken. Suddenly the door slid open and Wesker walked in, flanked by two guards. "Please, come with me. It's time for the first test."

Jacob sighed and stood up and followed Wesker and his guards out of the room and into the Corridor. Wesker led him to a room, in which he had to use his hand print to enter. The blast doors slid open and Wesker entered. It was a large blank room, with simple large cubes strategically placed around the room. It was a training room. Suddenly before Jacob entered the room, there was a flash. He entered the room. Wesker turned and nodded at him. "The test will begin momentarily." He said, and left, with the blast doors closing behind him.

Suddenly a door at the end of the room began to open. There was growling coming from the small room beyond the doors. Jacob stepped forward a few feet and try and get a better look, when suddenly 4 Cerberuses raced out. Infected dogs. Shit. Jacob turned and rushed back to the door, but stopped. He couldn't leave. It was a trap. He would have to kill the dogs to get out…

He turned and ducked as a Cerberus leaped. He rolled forward and came up on his feet and raced forward, looking for something to use to his advantage. He shook his head, unsure of what to do, and just raced for the nearest wall, and then ducked suddenly, sending a Cerberus flying over him and into the wall so hard that it's neck snapped.

One down. Four to go. Suddenly Jacob was on his back as an infected dogs snarled over him. Jacob reached up and grabbed it's neck as it attempted to take his head off. Literally. He forced his legs up to his chest and then kicked the dog off of him. He scrambled to his feet, only to be knocked down on to his face. "Fuck." He cursed, rolling onto his back just into to catch the dog by the neck again.

This time, using both hands, he snapped the dog's neck and shoved it to the side. This was not the kind of test he was expecting. He got to his feet, and then dropped down into a crouch as another one flew over him. He stood again and raced forward. Another Cerberus was standing on top of one of the cubes. It let out a bark and leaped onto Jacob, slicing his skin open on his arm. Jacob fell to the ground, and the dog ripped into his neck.

Suddenly there was another flash and Jacob shook his head hard. What the hell just happened? He walked into the room and Wesker turned to him. "The test--" Jacob cut him off. "--Will begin momentarily. Yada, yada." Wesker turned and walked out, the doors closing behind him. And then it began all over again. The door at the end of the room began to open. There was growling coming from the small room beyond the doors. Jacob stepped forward a few feet and try and get a better look, and the 4 Cerberuses raced out.Jacob stood his ground as the Dogs approached quickly.

He ducked as a Cerberus leaped. He rolled forward and came up on his feet and raced for the nearest wall, and then ducked, sending a Cerberus flying over him and into the wall so hard that it's neck snapped.

One down. Four to go. Suddenly Jacob was on his back as an infected dogs snarled over him. Jacob reached up and grabbed it's neck as it attempted to take his head off. Literally. He forced his legs up to his chest and then kicked the dog off of him. He scrambled to his feet, only to be knocked down on to his face. "Fuck." He cursed, rolling onto his back just into to catch the dog by the neck again.

Then it hit him. This already happened. He already said that. He already did this whole thing. And he had failed. Not this time.

Using both hands, he snapped the dog's neck and shoved it to the side. This was not the kind of test he was expecting. He got to his feet, and then dropped down into a crouch as another one flew over him. He stood again and raced forward. Another Cerberus was standing on top of one of the cubes. It let out a bark and leaped. But this time, Jacob dropped and rolled away and the dog hit the ground hard, suddenly confused by Jacob's move, and it busted it's head hard into the floor.

Jacob chuckled, but his victory laugh was cut short when another Cerberus, standing about 8 feet away, growled, baring it's teeth. "Uh-oh." The dog took forward toward Jacob. He suddenly rushed at the animal too, and they both leaped into the air and Jacob kicked the animal in the side of the head hard, and he heard a snap as the animal's neck broke. He dropped to the ground in a crouch. Suddenly there was another flash. He stood up from the crouch and turned as the another door opened to his right. It was completely quiet.

At least until the soft moans and whispers floated through the air. Jacob's eyes widened as he saw what scuffled through the door. He was suddenly surrounded by undead. He backed up against a large cube as the zombies closed in on him. One grabbed him by the arm and another suddenly leaned in quickly and they began to feast, with his cries of pain echoing through the room.

Another flash caused Jacob to stumble backwards, gasping in fear. He stood up and looked at the door to his right. Suddenly it began to open. It was time to leave. He turned and rushed to the door in which the Cerberuses had entered from. It was closed now. Shit.

Jacob turned and rushed into the center of the room. He leaned against one of the cubes. He didn't want to die. Not like this. He turned and climbed up on top of the cube. From there he could see all the way around the room. And what he saw made him almost vomit. The undead had crowded into the room and were now surrounding him.

He stepped into the center of the cube and suddenly it began to rise up. It took him up to the glass ceiling, where a small area in the glass opened, and the cube passed through it. Suddenly he was in a new, smaller, darker room. No flashes. Well, that could be good for him. Or it could be really bad. He took one step forward. Then another. He walked briskly toward the exit, and opened the door, and saw a girl standing in his way.

He didn't have time to react. Suddenly he went flying backwards onto the glass floor. It began to crack under his weight. The girl stepped into the room, and the door shut behind her and locked. She took a step out onto the floor, and it began to crack much fast. Well, at least he was going to die fighting.

He watched as the glass cracking extended out from the spot he was at, to the entire area of the floor. He gulped and slowly forced himself up to his feet. The girl stepped forward with one step at a time. "I'll see you in hell." He said flatly, looking her in the eyes. Suddenly he raised his foot and stomped it into the glass, which gave, and Jacob leaped forward as they both began to fall down - toward the crowd of undead.

His hands caught onto the top edges of the cube and he held on tight as he watched the girl free fall down - and then with a soft splat like sound, she hit the floor.
