All Leon could see was Claire's legs; they were cut and covered in blood. All Leon could hear was the sizzling as acid dripped from the whopper's mouth into Claire's gash. All Leon could smell was the metallic smell of acid and blood. All Leon could feel was worried, upset and the heavy breath of the whopper on his arms. All Leon could taste was dryness. The air was cold and windy, the wind dried his tongue, lips, teeth and gums. Another growling noise drowned his heartbeats but this time it was so loud that all of his companions came rushing to the door. He could hear them calling his name but they all fell silent when they saw Claire underneath the huge zombie.
The whopper followed Leon as he slowly walked backwards away from the terrifying creature. Claire's body was revealed. Blood was still flowing from her mouth. Her whole face had been scraped on the pavement and was completely cut. Her hair was a mixture of red and brown and lay still on her shoulders. Her hospital gown had gone from white to devil red and was split open revealing parts of her body I'm sure she would not have liked everybody to see. Her legs were slightly twisted and blood-stained.
Leon sprinted past the whopper, narrowly missing its strong blow. He rolled Claire onto her back and saw her whole stomach was flat as a pancake; Leon had to get her indoors. He came up with a plan. He signalled for everybody inside the hospital to move away from the locked doors. Leaving Claire on the concrete, he stepped in front of the doors and attracted the whopper's attention by whistling. The large creature charged towards but as he was about to barge into Leon, he dodged out of the way. The whopper smashed through the thick glass and shrieked as the glass stabbed into every part of his body. Sheva climbed up the back of the zombie with a large piece of glass in her hand and stabbed it into the whopper's brain. She leaped away as the giant fell to the ground with a loud, piercing yelp.
Chris and Jake hurriedly picked up Claire and took her inside. They put her down on a nearby hospital bed and Piers checked her pulse. "Luckily, her heart wasn't affected by the crushing of her rib cage but she could still be unconscious or in a coma." He stated. Chris sighed and sat on a chair next to Claire. Helena consoled him but he didn't cheer up. They waited in the room for an hour and a half before something happened. Claire took in a deep breath and everybody looked up at her. Then her eyes opened and she could move her arms and legs. She attempted to speak but nothing came out. "Her oesophagus must be damaged in some way. Only an internal observation would determine how." Piers sighed.
"Can somebody pass me a medical dictionary?" Jake sarcastically asked.
"Her windpipe is broken or something." Piers explained. Jake nodded. Claire let out a screech. "Or not, she's in shock so can't talk, that's why!" Piers enlightened. Claire carried on screeching and stared down at her stomach and so did everybody else. Her stomach became lumpy and certain parts swelled up then down repeatedly. Suddenly, her whole stomach began to swell up and a crunching sound made everyone except Piers cringe. Then her ribcage became visible, it had healed itself. "What the hell was that?" Helena asked.
"It doesn't matter." Claire said.
"Well, clearly it does, Claire, what just happened?" Sheva inquired.
"It's a power that has travelled through the Redfield family for generations." Claire began, Chris looked up. "After a very, very distant relative injected himself with the G-virus, he began to mutate so injected himself with the antivirus. The two liquids were injected at a similar time to each other so a neutralisation process took place in his bloodstream. The antivirus won the battle as it were but still contained traces of the G-virus which created a whole new thing. This."
"No, it can't be, I'd have known." Chris argued.
"Mum didn't exactly trust you with secrets, did she?" Claire laughed. Chris still didn't believe her. Claire sighed. She picked up a glass of water from the bedside table, emptied it and smashed it. She took a piece of glass and stabbed it into Chris' forehead then dragged it down to his chin. Chris screamed but within 30 seconds, skin was growing back onto the wound. Everybody stood in amazement. The silence was broke by Helena.
"Wait, can you hear that?" Sheva asked, "Footsteps on the floor above." Sure enough, the others heard it too when they stopped talking. "I'll check it out." Leon said making his way to the door, "I think you've been through a lot today. Helena and I will go." Sheva said. Helena nodded in agreement. The two walked through the door and made their way to the stairs. "Wait, shouldn't we get a weapon." Sheva remarked.
"Yeah. We could check for a knife in theatre." Helena suggested. They checked and found a bundle of knives in a tray next to the bed. They took two each then walked back to the stairs.
As they slowly, nervously walked up the stairs, they saw drops of blood. They reached the second floor and scanned the corridor for anybody or anything. "Wait a second, that's Simmons' coat." Helena gasped, walking up to a leather jacket.
"How do you know?" Sheva asked.
"I've seen pictures." Helena replied.
"Oh my God, Birkin's here!" Sheva whispered pointing to the miniature hat Sherry wore at the funeral. "Go and get the others!" Sheva ordered.
"Roger!" Helena called as she sprinted down the flight of stairs. Sheva checked every room for Sherry but couldn't find her. When she was at the end of the hall, she looked back to the stairs; next to them were double doors. Sheva saw a shadow in the gap under the door. She sprinted towards the doors and crashed through them holding her knife next to her head. She saw Sherry lying naked on the bloody floor. She rushed over and helped her up. Sherry didn't speak; she merely turned around revealing a large, brown bulge on her back. Sheva saw that it could be pulled off. She yanked and it easily came off but there was a thick, brown rope-like object attached to it. Sheva pulled some more but more of it came out of Sherry's back. Everybody ran up to the room and saw Sheva holding the round object and 7 metres of brown rope-like object. Jake and Leon ran up to Sherry and hugged her. Helena helped Sheva pull the strange object out of Sherry's back. Claire and Chris could only stand in shock.
The brown cord became thicker as it came out of Sherry's back and unexpectedly. A large brown sphere, popped out of Sherry's back and enclosed the lower half of her body. Jake and Leon stepped away as they saw the horror. Sherry began to choke on something. Her mouth opened and a tennis-ball sized brown object flew out and grew larger until it was the same size as the first sphere. This time it wrapped itself around the upper half of Sherry's body. Everyone stood still and silent.
After a while, a crack appeared in the back of the shell. Sherry's head popped out. Her eyes were red and blue veins were visible all over her face. "Well, well, well, looks like she finally mutated." An anonymous voice laughed from behind. Everybody turned around, they didn't recognise the man. "Simmons!" Helena called.
