Resident Evil
Chapter Ten: The Mad Woman's Daughter
Snapdragon ran quickly down to her mother's room and listened at the door, she was in there talking quietly to herself as she did a lot. "So sad isn't it? To die so young although their blood will be the last and finally I will summon Him…" she laughed and pressed a few buttons on her computer and then paused "someone's here…I can feel it." Snapdragon froze and pushed herself against the wall. Alison got up out of her chair and went to the door, opening it very slightly, Snapdragon closed her eyes and prayed her mother wouldn't see her. Alison smiled as she saw her daughter; it wasn't easy to miss her with her hair! She grabbed hold of her and dragged her into her room "so you got out then?" she grinned making Snapdragon even more nervous. "Yeah I got out…I can't let you kill anymore people for such a stupid reason! The Devil doesn't exist, you know that!" Alison growled and slapped her
"We shall see about that…" Alison said dangerously softly
"What's happened to you?" Snapdragon sighed "I remember you were so much nicer before you started getting more involved with that guy from Umbrella." Alison raised an eyebrow and ran her nails across her keyboard; everything her daughter said was true. Although Alison couldn't remember now she had been injected with plant DNA and the G virus as an experiment when she was pregnant with Snapdragon. "Shut up you little cow" Alison hissed "what happened back then was none of your business, I promised him I would continue with the research after he died and I have…"
"He didn't die, you killed him for the same reason you killed all those children!" Alison turned and grabbed Snapdragon by the throat "I'm warning you Snapdragon, one more word and I'll kill you now!" Snapdragon kicked out and caught her in the stomach, Alison grunted but didn't let go "You had your warning…now you pay." Alison dragged the struggling girl out of the room and into another just opposite. Inside was a pit with an open tank with a boiling liquid bubbling inside, gas floated up from it. Alison shoved her daughter onto the edge, pulled out a sharp knife and ran it over her throat "What do you want to do? Die by knife you turn into a monster and join me?"
"You're mad…you always have been…I'll never join you" Snapdragon said and saw the anger in Alison's face and knew she had gone too far. "You're very stupid…" Alison said and raised the knife over her head and without another word plunged it into Snapdragon's heart. The girl blinked not sure of what had happened, she stumbled and fell over the edge into the tank "maybe I could punish more…" Alison walked slowly over to a control pad and pressed a button, the gas exploded out the tank and drifted through the cracks in the ceiling. "Once again Raccoon can have the G virus to play with" she smiled "and if those people manage to escape, which I doubt, they will be ripped apart by zombies." She watched the tank bubble for a while "poor Snapdragon…you'll be joining me anyway" she knelt down and ran her hand across the jagged edge cutting it badly. She licked the flow of blood and let some drip into the G virus tank "I'd best get back to torturing my other prisoners" she murmured after a while and left the room.
Jill, Rebecca and Barry found the room suddenly lit up, it resembled a city scene; whatever monsters were in there sure weren't around at the moment. The room itself was about the size of a school gym but a fog drifting across the floor made it difficult to see the exit. "Barry? What the hells that?" Rebecca yelped as several red eyes glowed in the fog and started to come nearer. "I don't know but they're going to die whatever they are" Barry answered sharply and pointed his gun at them, a low growl erupted from the dark and one of the creatures leapt forward. It resembled a dog in many ways but it's tail had a head of a viper, it snarled, white foam dripping from it's lips. Barry fired and knocked it back but that only seemed to agitate the others and around five more of them came forward. Jill and Rebecca opened fire on them but they still kept moving, the first one leapt and snapped at Rebecca's arm, she dodged it and kicked it in the jaw. Barry moved slightly as it rolled over toward him and stamped on its head, killing it instantly, however the others were taking a lot more work. After about ten shots the one fell and died but the viper on its tail was still alive. "I'm running out of ammo!" Jill complained and trod on one of the tail vipers that made a sickening crunch under her foot. Each of the 'dogs' took about ten or more shots to kill; everyone was pretty low on ammo after. "Let's just hope there aren't any more" Barry mumbled, "If there are we'll have to avoid them and save ammo." The two women nodded and set off toward the exit, something moaned in the shadows
"Was that a zombie?" Rebecca asked "not that they're too bad, pretty easy to kill" the others nodded but didn't want to hang about to see.
Alison was watching from her computer and pressed a few buttons "zombies are easy to kill…one by one, how about fifteen of them all at once?" She turned to the opposite wall and spoke to someone who wasn't there "won't it be funny when they die? They'll be no one in my way then and Umbrella will be sorry they never listened to me…" She laughed at an unheard joke and went back to the computer.
Barry fired at an approaching human shadow and then at another "shit!" he yelled, "we're completely surrounded!" The women started shooting carefully at the zombies, fifteen in total "it's no use!" Barry shouted to them "they're tougher than the ones we've faced before, just move!" They ran toward the exit and dashed through it as the zombies got closer, what lay before them next though was going to be a lot harder.
