Chapter One

Four Months Ago

          Rebecca Chambers had finally gotten some time to relax. Umbrella had finally been destroyed, and she had quit the whole 'zombie killing squad' thing completely and had no desire to ever return to that lifestyle. The day she had decided this, she began to rebuild her life the way she had wanted it, minus the police job.

          She had gotten a new job at a small lab downtown that worked on creating new medicines, and Rebecca loved her new job. She had also found herself a boyfriend, someone named Andrew Dark. She had met him at the library one day while searching for books on medicinal effects on the human body for a report she had to write in order to get a job at the lab she desired to work at. She was on the book ladder reaching for the book which was on the highest shelf, and she had it in her hands when…she dropped it. "Ouch!"

          She looked down to see a handsome young guy, had to be in his early twenties standing there rubbing his head. He has light brown hair, and beautiful bright blue eyes. She was too embarrassed to go down the ladder, but then the guy said something. "Miss? I believe you dropped something." Rebecca slowly came down the ladder, but couldn't bear to look at him.

          "I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to, I hope you're not hurt." Rebecca stuttered out. She looked at him. He is amazingly cute, and he has a sexy voice. Why did I have to go and do that before I even met him? First impressions are lasting you know!

          "No, no it's quite alright, I'm fine." He said in a calm cool voice, he stuck out the book and handed it to her. "Name's Andrew, Andrew Dark."

          Rebecca took the book from his hands, and then smiled. "I'm Rebecca Chambers."

          "Rebecca, that's a pretty name for a pretty girl like you. You live around here?" His eyes glistened in the bright library lighting.

          "Yeah, I live in the apartments around the corner, why?" He smiled.

          "Would you like to come have some dinner with me?" Rebecca stopped breathing for a second. There is a God; you've gotten a second chance you dork! Take it, take it! "Sure, when?"

          "What about tonight?" He asked. Rebecca nodded.

          "Tonight's good for me."

          And that was that, they'd been dating for about three weeks now, and Rebecca thought it was the greatest thing that had happened in the past year. In the past year she'd had a run in with many hideous creatures in the Spencer Estate, almost got killed destroying a lab in Caliban Cove, Maine, and had even got shot in a secret Umbrella facility in the middle of Arizona, only then to be chased by a prehistoric Tyrant known as Fossil. Rebecca hadn't had the best year, but she was certainly making up for it now.

          It was late in the afternoon, a Tuesday, Rebecca had just gotten home from the library once again. She set her books down on the table and checked her answering machine. No new messages. Then she sat down and turned on her computer, and clicked the internet icon. A menu popped up telling her that it was signing on. When she was connected she looked at her buddy list on people she talked to online. She was looking for one screen name: Coolboxer81. That was Andrew's hobby, boxing. His screen name was online, Rebecca clicked it, and typed in 'hey sexy'.

          He replied back immediately. 'I need to talk to you. Meet me at the park in 5'. Rebecca had not idea what it was about, but she decided it had to be important, and then another thought crossed her mind. What if he's dumping me? Oh my God, I think I would begin to cry in the middle of the park. This is my first serious relationship; I don't want it to end in three friggen weeks! Whatever it was, she had to investigate. She signed off, and quickly wrote a note on the table say where she was going in case someone came by and then hurried down the apartment stairs and began jogging toward the park.

******

          The man sitting behind the computer smiled, his name was Arthur Brockton. Arthur was an evil man, always had been, even in childhood. He was the type of child that only cared about making the others around him miserable just to give himself his own pleasure. Unfortunately he grew up with this trait, and now he is the new head of Umbrella. Those foolish ex-S.T.A.R.S bastards think they have foiled Umbrella? Just wait, his grin grew even wider, you fools won't know what hit. Umbrella has only been acting dormant for the past year, but very soon we will return.

          Arthur looked over at the man that was sitting in the corner, his hands tied behind his back. "Thank you Andrew for letting me use your screen name. Boys take him to the van; we need to take a trip to the park."

          Two men dressed in cover suits that resembled swat team uniforms stepped up to Andrew and picked him. Andrew had no choice but to go with the men. Arthur still continued to smile, as the two men dragged Andrew out the door and to the van waiting outside.

          As soon as we have this Chambers bitch, we'll be all set. We'll use our new brain washing chemical and use her for bio chemical research, thus allowing us to strengthen our S-Beast! Oh what a glorious plan this is! With that final thought Arthur stepped out of the apartment door, and locked it behind him.

*****

          Rebecca got out of her car, and slammed the door shut. She was quite nervous as to why Andrew wanted to meet her in the park. She saw Andrew standing near the path that went into the forest.

          "Hey baby." Andrew greeted and hugged her close, then gave her a small kiss.

          "Hey, so what' up?" Rebecca asked, a little bit more relieved by the hug and kiss. Andrew grabbed her hand.

          "Come with me." He guided her into the forest, down the path, and into a secluded area where no one was around. Rebecca looked him in the face.

          "Why are we here honey?" Rebecca asked, she was more nervous then she was before. Andrew looked strange; Rebecca couldn't tell what he was thinking.

          "Rebecca," He whispered, "I don't want to do this to you, but I have no choice. Run, run now! Run away before they catch you!"

          "Wha…what are you talking about Andrew?" Rebecca stammered, confused and incredibly nervous at what he meant.

          Andrew looked like he was about to say something but before he could a gunshot rung throughout the air. The bullet smashed right into Andrew's forehead, blood splattering into the air, and even onto Rebecca's face and clothes. Andrew's body dropped to the ground as blood continued to drip wildly from his forehead. Rebecca screamed and turned around to run, but ran straight into a blonde haired man, with evil looking green eyes. He had a wicked smile, and he just stood there, staring at Rebecca like nothing had happened.

          "You belong to me." He said. Rebecca didn't know what to do.

          "What are you talking about?" She asked, with a nervous tone in her voice.

          "My name is Arthur Brockton, the new head guy at Umbrella, and you will be coming with us."

          "But Umbrella is dead; we destroyed your company a long time ago!" Rebecca screeched.

          "Oh no, no, I do not believe that happened. You thought you destroyed all the Umbrella labs that were in existence, but all that time there was a secret Umbrella laboratory deep underground, my lab. Enough said, it's time for you to come with us." Arthur stated.

          "No way." Rebecca rejected. Arthur smiled.

          "I don't believe you have a choice." He said, as armed Umbrella guards appeared from around every corner of the forest. Rebecca was surrounded, and she had no choice, she had to go with Arthur.
