Resident Evil
Chapter Six: The Basement Rooms
Rebecca looked carefully at the door she was facing, old, damp, wood…basically gross, it looked like it had termites in it but she had to go in at some point, it may be a way out. She turned the rusting handle and opened the door that creaked so much she feared it would come of its hinges. Rebecca looked round and into the room, sometimes smelt bad in there and she was sure that it wasn't a new brand of perfume. She pulled out her gun, a standard pistol that held thirteen bullets, and stepped inside. A groan greeted her and something stumbled out of the shadows, Rebecca aimed carefully at it but pulled back when whatever it was spoke "H…help…me…" the voice was croaky and it sure as hell didn't have long before it was a full fledged zombie. "I'll going to help you" Rebecca said softly 'yeah sure' she then thought 'I'm going to kill him' she aimed at what looked like a head and fired. The 'person' screamed and the bullet entered his brain killing him, Rebecca went over to get a closer look and her heart nearly stopped when she saw he wasn't infected. Rebecca felt tears come to her eyes; sure she had killed before but never anyone who probably hadn't deserved it. She looked at the corpse and rummaged through the pockets of the white lab coat and pulled out a card. "Umbrella? This guy was with Umbrella?" Rebecca felt the sadness go, Umbrella were lousy cheats and they deserved to die. She found ammo in the other pocket and put it in hers, she got up and went to a covered metal table. Rebecca gripped her gun tightly and whipped off the sheet and nearly threw up and the sight of the corpse…if it could have been labelled a corpse. The head had been cut in two and the vital organs had been severed and placed in a bowl also under the sheet. The throat had been neatly sliced into and the arms and legs cut to show the veins and muscle. Rebecca pulled the sheet back over and hurriedly left the room.
Barry wasn't having much luck finding an exit either, he had been into two room so far and each were the same, a bed, a cabinet (they had actually been useful, they had had ammo in them), a zombie or two and that was it. They only thing they had that was different was a picture, the first was a small frame one of a young man with scales all over him and the second had been of Alison herself, Barry had kept hold of these. He moved through the passage to an iron door that was badly rusted from age and a leak in the ceiling, he tried the handle but it was locked. He walked toward the door next to it that opened easily to a set of stairs. Barry took hold of the rail to help himself down in the dark but quickly pulled his hand away, it was covered in a green/yellow slime that burned his hand. He stepped carefully onto one of the stone stairs and slowly made his way down.
Jill was having better luck with Antirrhinum Majus (or Snapdragon was what she preferred) guiding her through various secret ways. They had past the iron door that before Barry had gone down and Snapdragon had told her that she was never to go down there but when Jill had asked her why Snapdragon had fallen silent. "Where are we going?" Jill asked at last
"I want to show you a way out" Snapdragon replied quickly
"I can't, not without my friends" Jill said and stopped walking, Snapdragon turned to her.
"I'm not saying that we go without them, I know there are here too, I heard them, I just want to show you a way out and then we can go back for them." Jill hesitated, the girl was strange without a doubt with that plant growing on her cheek and she wasn't sure weather to go with her. "How can I trust you? You're…well…a…"
"Monster" Snapdragon finished "I know but please come with me, I want to get out of here as much as you do, my mother, she's planning to raise the devil and all his subjects and all the evil dead, it will be hell on earth if she does."
"And what has the G and T virus got to do with this?" Jill asked remembering the injected zombies upstairs
"The more on her side the better" Snapdragon explained "she wants them to perform a sacrifice with, those children were all destroyed by zombies and the blood used for the ritual." Jill understood and decided to trust the woman; she seemed to be a goldmine of information and could be helpful on the way out. Snapdragon began to walk again although this time a lot quicker and then paused by a door and listened carefully, her eyes widened and she dragged Jill back up the passage. "What?" Jill said annoyed by this "shhh…" Snapdragon ordered and Jill lowered her voice
"What is it?" She whispered.
"Mother's back" Snapdragon replied.
More to come, hope you like it so far!
