OK so everyone lived PHEW! But will they be that lucky next time?
Jamy woke with a jerk, her arm where Valery had given her the vaccine the day before itched immensely, the gash she had itched as well. It was almost blinding, Jamy didn't know why she felt the way she did but it was hard to concentrate on anything other than the pain. By some miracle she crawled out of the room, hoping to make it to Valery for help. However Jamy never it made it that far, her legs gave out beneath her.
"Alery. Elp. Ease!" Jamy managed to cry out, however the words that fell out of her mouth were barely above a murmur. It was still loud enough for Valery to hear; within a fraction of a second Val was at the girl's side. Valery looked at the Jamy and fell to her knees allowing her to get closer to the teen. Jamy's eyes had become dim, her irises, and pupils fading into the whites. She was scratching at herself vigorously, writhing in the pain she felt. Valery knew what was happening but couldn't believe it. Jamy was infected, she was becoming a zombie. The BSAA agent didn't know what to do; she stood there and comforted Jamy in her last moments of humanity.
'WAIT! I'm immune maybe my blood could…' The Redfield didn't know if it would work but she had to try. She took her nails and slit her wrist, causing it bleed fiercely. Valery then took Jamy's head and let her blood drip into Jamy's mouth, hoping her antibodies could counteract the virus. The tainted girl fell to the ground, passed out. Val hoped that she had saved Jamy, or at least prolong her humanity. Fear and disappointment were things that the survivors had gotten used to in this city yet; losing one of their own was something no one was prepared for. Valery picked up Jamy and set her on the couch down stairs. Vally stood there for hours watching Jamy, hoping to see her wake up normal, and not an undead monster. After what seemed like forever Audrey and Alexis appeared at the top of the stairs.
"Good morning! So we get out today right?" Alexis asked, not knowing the gravity of Jamy's condition. Valery didn't even look up at the sisters; she was too worried over the outcome of her quick-witted attempt to save Jamy. Audrey noticed something was wrong with her newly found friend and tried to run to her side. Valery blocked her as Alexis joined her sister.
"What's wrong with Jamy?" Audrey yelled angry that Valery, she was furious that Valery wouldn't let her see her friend. Alexis stood there starting at Jamy wondering what had gone wrong. Audrey pressed her question farther asking it again. Valery couldn't tell them, she didn't want to upset the Fagans anymore then she had too. However the silence that hung in the air only made Audrey more demanding. Rather the waiting for Valery to give a reply Audrey tried to push Valery away giving her access to Jamy. However Valery didn't budge, instead Valery slapped Audi in the face sending her back until she collided with the stairs. Putting a hand to her face Audrey stood up and waited for a response, one that never came. Alexis tried in Audrey's place, asking again.
"Valery? Is Jamy alright?" The question flowed peacefully, and calmly. Valery felt warmth spill from her eyes. Alexis gave Valery a hug and she was able to say tranquilly.
"Jamy is infected." Then all of the feelings that Valery had stored up exploded out. Alexis helped the girl as she continued her mental breakdown. Audrey was upset Valery didn't tell her about Jamy at first but the way she was now just showed that she was upset and tried to calm herself. Audrey got up and slapped Valery.
"Hey, you know I needed that right?" Valery commented.
Audrey smiled and the three all relaxed themselves. Jamy then stirred, Valery quickly was at her side, gun drawn. Jamy just tossed and turned in her sleep before she settled down again. Valery holstered her gun as she sat and waited for the teen to wake up, hours passed and if the team didn't head out, they would have to waste another day. Valery walked up to Jamy and with her gun, shook her awake.
"MMMmhhh… My head…" Jamy moaned before rolling over. Everyone sighed with relief. Jamy sat up and scratched at her arm.
"So, when are we leaving?" The whole group stared at Jamy not knowing if she was still infected or she was cured. Everyone flew to Jamy hugging her and smothering her. Jamy was confused none the less but was happy to have her acquaintances by her. Everyone packed up and started to head out the Fagans out by the door waiting for Valery and Jamy to join them so they could walk the few miles left to safety.
Valery reloaded all of her guns, and was turning toward the door when Jamy pulled her a side.
"I… I had this nightmare about me, and you and…" Jamy started.
"It really happened. You are infected; I think that the vaccine speeded up the process in which you almost became a zombie. This sounds kind of sadistic but I got you to drink my blood and it helped but, I don't know if it cured you."
"…I hope it did but I still itch, and I'm hunger as a motherfucker." Valery sighed, pain was evident in the sound, and Jamy finished the conversation before leaving to head out into the city.
"It was from this damn scratch right? Well, it doesn't matter. Just promise me one thing. Let me die a human." Valery nodded and the team set off, they had only the last few hours of daylight before they had to settle down again. The Redfield had a bad feeling, the survivors might have to try and beat the clock. Project 009X3 would annihilate the entire city, and the suburbs that surrounded it, in only a day and a few hours. Like Raccoon City before it, Green Bank was to be sterilized by means of a nuclear missile.
OHHH SNAP!
