Chapter 14
Alice and William quickly overcame their little lovesick daze, they needed to get the hell off this facility. Albert had determined that the door was safe and outside was too, but not for long. He'd called in Shawn, who was a pilot, and had a helicopter. They'd need him to get them away from the accursed Umbrella and Spencer.
Shawn said he was nearby, and would be there in a few minutes. That few minutes were hell. Umbrella's men, Spencer's men kept on appearing, all guns blazing. Bullet ricocheting off every metal surface, poor William had to crouch down in a doorway and hope he wasn't shot. He wasn't. Alice and Albert were brilliant, no one stood a chance. Necks snapped, limbs broken, crack, crack filled the air for at least a minute. Then they heard a welcome noise, helicopter blades. Shawn landed in the perfect spot and motioned Albert to come over. He checked everywhere was safe and it was.
He let Alice go first, then William, then himself, but he spotted a marksman in the corner of his eye. He was aiming at Alice. Albert ran at Alice, knocking her down, sacrificing himself if need be. But no, the bullet had the R53 in it, and it was lodged in Alice's thigh.
She didn't cry, she didn't scream. The wound turned purple, her blood oozing out. It wasn't healing, she knew was dying. Alice just lay there, her breathing slowing down. Her eyes began to lose their emerald colour, they became lighter and lighter, her pupils becoming dots. William looked at Albert, who just nodded and he began to cry. He didn't care if Albert thought he was weak. He saw the love of his life slip away and he hadn't said anything until the last minutes of her life. Albert let William hold her and he looked down. He began to cry too. William knew better than to say 'oh look, are you crying?' to Albert so he left it.
"Thank...y..you both", Alice could barely breathe anymore. Her organs were shutting down. "Brot...Albert, thank you, Will...thank you, I...ugh...love you two". She coughed and started to cry again. William put his hand behind her head and kissed her forehead, Albert took her hand and held it tightly as she died. Her head tilted back slightly as she passed away. The two just stayed there for a while. Not caring if Umbrella killed them anymore. Shawn sat with his head down, he never knew Alice but it hit him hard too.
A beautiful rose, but fragile all the same.
Meanwhile, Spencer sat in his office chair, rubbing his sore back. He had been given the news that Alice was dead. His evil grin reappeared.
"Surely Wesker will want revenge"...
