CHAPTER 25: OH SHIT

Shit what do I do?

How about not letting your boyfriend shoot me for starters?

Tab!

J.D!

"J.D don't move!" Chris ordered as he trains his gun between Tab's eyes.

"Wait!" Tab rolls her eyes with a huff that shot wispy, warm air into the cold night. I stand up carefully, wincing from the gaping hole in my torso and extremely aware of the soreness in my body, "She's not gonna hurt us."

"She?" Chris attempts to peer at Tab's underside.

Quickly, she flattens herself to the ground with a loud thump and growls lightly at Chris. DUDE! Really?!

I deadpan with a sigh and when I move to pinch the bridge of my nose I notice my wounds have a hard time healing completely, Damn, I'm fighting the virus. Seeing that it affects the host on a genetic level I'm not gonna just sweat this out am I?

I don't know.

"She was helping, Chris. She's not one of those things."

Chris chuckles, "That's hard to believe. We already know there's been at least one oversized animal already. But I guess," he lowers his gun to his side and stares warily at Tab, "if she wanted us for supper we'd already be dead."

I don't eat humans, sheesh…

"Oh well you are capable of reason! Guess you're not just a pretty face after all."

He looked unamused and Tab lets out a chuckle, at least some kind of wolfish huff that passes as laughter.

"Well this pretty face is pretty sick of seeing you throw yourself into danger every five seconds." He lunges forward and grips my hand tenderly, "I'm not letting you out of my sight anymore. Understood?"

"But-"

"Understood!"

Blimey he's upset.

Can't say I blame him getting angry wen his – Well! I should probably get going before -

"Where the hell did she come from anyways?" Chris points at Tab's massive head with his gun, which elicits a growl from her.

Watch it! Didn't mommy tell you not to play with guns?!

"I'm not sure how much of animal biology you're familiar with but when a mommy wolf and a daddy wolf love each other very much-"

"J.D," Chris sighs and Tab chortles loudly in my head as she watched Chris lead me away while her tail wags gracefully.

Huh, you really distract the guy. I'd be careful, you might be the death of him one day.

I swallow hard at the prospect, Don't tell me that. And what were you gonna say earlier?

What?

You can't blame Chris for getting angry when his what? What were you gonna say?

What? Kshh I can't shh you. Psh bad reception ksh.

"Tab!"

Chris' grip tightens around my hand and provoke warm, weird things to happen to my inside, "I know. We'll find her."

Grrr.

Woman was out of sight, no doubt scrambling her brain as to where to find a change of clothes. I was rather lightheaded and sore after getting dragged half to death through the woods and suddenly lose my balance. Chris catches me before I gave the ground a big ol' smooch. He brushes my hair off my forehead and realizes my skin is clammy. Oh well, that explains why I was suddenly freezing. Oh shit! First my wound from the Crimson Head and now Cerberus. I was double fucked by the T-virus. I hadn't paid attention to the first wound since I healed as anticipated.

"Hang on J.D." He swings me into his arms with a puff from exertion and rushes out of the bushes.

As soon as we see the manor's front door we hear the pack of Cerberus growling, though it sounded like they were preoccupied. Of course, she'd make damn sure we were at least out of the woods in one piece. Chris collapsed onto the red carpet as soon as we make it back inside and slammed the doors shut before rushing towards me. He lifts my shit to get a better look at the gaping puncture wound in my ribs.

"Oh, god," he whispers as he ran his hand through his hair. "How are you still conscious?"

"Don't worry. I think that'll be remedied in a minute."

"Oh no you don't," he cups my face in his hands. "Stay with me J.D."

"I don't know if you've noticed, mate, but I lost a damn good amount of blood. And I'm probably infected to boot."

"We'll find a cure then! Just hang on."

Damn you hero types and your desperate optimism.

A sudden pain shoots through my ribs as the tell-tale snap of mending bones echoed through the hall. I couldn't help convulse from the sensation and grit my teeth against the scream wanting to erupt. Chris' hands flail around me, unsure of how he could help, and gasps at my wound. I arch an eyebrow and look to the deep gashes on my wrist, sure enough they finally healed.

Chris can't keep his eyes off where the wound on my torso should've been, "That'. That's not possible."

"Indeed."

We both turn to the source of the deep voice and I watch uselessly as Wesker smacked Chris across the face with his gun. Chris falls unconscious and Wesker kneels towards me with a syringe.

For bloody sake!

He jams the blasted needle into my neck, "Now be a good girl and sleep."

o~O~o

Yup, that's where we end it. I think A.J did a fantastic job with this chapter. I only added like one or two lines to this whole thing…anyway, not sure what I can come up with after this but who knows. Anyway, I wanted to get this chapter out there for all of you before Halloween and I am happy to have done so. With some luck there will be another right around that day or the day of. Oh and keep an eye out for a new story that is a one-shot for this season of scares and screams.
