Chapter three: A New Breed of Evil
Barry stumbled over an oddly placed chair as he went into the kitchen to look around, nothing unusual at the moment anyway but he did notice a horrible smell coming from the sink but dismissed it as a burst pipe…but wouldn't there be water everywhere? Barry slowly stepped toward the sink, the smell got worse the nearer he got. He looked into the old sink and was disgusted at what was in it; bloodstained knives and chunks of flesh lay in a small amount of bloody water. Barry turned away from the sight and decided the look at the rest of the kitchen and turned his attention to what looked like a covered birdcage. He walked slowly over to it and pulled the towel from over it and jumped back. A bird was in there but it's feathers were on fire and it's claws were golden and very sharp, Barry glanced quickly at the lock…it was open. Barry dived to the cage but it was too late, with the towel removed the bird flung itself against the bars bursting fro, the cage with a scream like howl. Barry leapt out of its way as it dived toward him with talons ready to kill, its feathers brushed against Barry's shirt which started to smoke, Barry quickly brushed the hot embers left by the bird off himself. "What is wrong with this place?" He moaned to himself and looked at the burn marks of his shirt before walking over to a closet. He opened it cautiously and peered inside, a smell of rotting meat hit him and Barry turned swiftly away and breathed in clear air deeply and then turned back to the closet. Pieces of meat hung from the ceiling inside, mould covered them and Barry could have sworn something moved on one but he didn't know why but they didn't seem to look like normal meat. He looked down on the floor and saw what confirmed his suspicions, a skull, that meat was human. Barry closed the door quietly, from the moment he'd stepped in this house he knew something wasn't right, he personally blamed the guys who ordered Raccoon to be rebuilt. If that hadn't happened this woman wouldn't be around here and possibly they wouldn't have had to get involved. He sighed and leant against the wall, this place really sucked.
Rebecca heard the shots from inside the house and wondered if everyone was alright 'of course they are…probably another dumb dog that got in the way' she turned her attentions back on an old looking fountain. 'How'd they move this here?' She looked at the statue, a half naked woman holding what appeared to be a jug that she held tipped over 'must be where the water comes from' Rebecca thought. 'Why's it always a woman anyway?' Rebecca suddenly felt rather angry 'because it's fine for a woman to go around showing her bits off but if a man does it it's disgusting and shouldn't be allowed!' Still something about the statue fascinated her. She looked closer at the jug and saw something glint inside, she pulled herself up onto the base of the statue and felt in the jug and pulled out a small blue bottle and a piece of paper. She opened the paper and read with excitement what was on it:
Dear Reader: Hopefully this bottle is in the right hands for in it is an antidote for the G and T viruses, not only does it cure it but it changes back these 'monsters' to what they were before.
Rebecca grinned, whoever had made this must have been pretty smart, she had been working on something like this but had had no luck in finding the right chemicals. She put the bottle and paper in her backpack and decided to explore the rest of the garden; one of the strange things she noticed was that after the fountain the rest was a giant greenhouse. She opened the glass door and walked in, it was cold for growing plants but they seemed to be doing just fine, she shut the door behind her and walked slowly between two rows of plants. Then she paused, she heard a noise…buzzing? Surely there couldn't be flies in here, how would they survive? She walked slowly forward and froze, these flies weren't ordinary, they were huge and seemed to have rather large pointed teeth. Rebecca watched them with a mix of fascination and horror; they were eating something that looked like…a person? Rebecca held the urge not to gasp the person they were attacking was still alive and trying the crawl away and near it was a pile of green gunk with molding corpses strewn over it. 'Zombies?' she thought and backed away and ran for the door and heard something drop behind her, she turned and saw the biggest spider she had ever seen. She pulled out her handgun and fired, hitting it's abdomen that leaked a white liquid. The spider screeched and charged toward her but Rebecca fired repeatedly until it dropped dead. She ran out of the door and closed it tightly. Rebecca moved over to the fountain and sat down, this sure wasn't easy and what was worse was the problem of time, how long before Alison gets back?
