1 Chapter 7
Special Tactics and Rescue Squad, S.T.A.R.S. that's how they started out. Rescue Squad maybe… Special Tactics, no… not now. Umbrella had pulled a new trick. Every piece of electrical equipment was defunct nothing was working, the only thing they had now were their weapons, they worked manually for the most part.
It's primary mission…to clear the way for its master's path. It was now directionless it only now had the instincts which were buried deep down, the instincts it once had before the transformation. As the blue light stopped its whole instinct and mission changed, it had no mission if only to survive. And it would do that the only way it knew how, by thriving on death.
Wesker and Nicola made their way through the endless darkness. By this time Wesker had convinced Nicola that they were on their way to find Missy, and be reunited with Chris. There was something strange about the man who had found her. He hid his eyes from her. He wore sunglasses in the pitch blackness. Nicola only had one thing on her mind…finding her daughter safely and then finding Chris. The man told her Chris was expecting her. What would she tell him,
"Hi its me…by the way forgot to mention you have a daughter"
Nicola gave herself into trouble, this was not the time or the place to be joking around. Time was fast running out for her. From the inside it ate away at her.
This was the third time today Alex had to adjust her eyesight. The darkness brought a greater sense of the unknown, they did not really need that just now. With hunters, zombies and God knows what other things lurking freely within the facility the urge to survive took greater control over Alex, this little girl will not be harmed.
"Come on, lets get out of here." Alex lifted Missy up and carried her on one arm. Missy was traumatised by this point, and fell asleep on Alex. This comforted Alex. She didn't know why it just…did.
Clunk! Clunk!
Alex froze. Above her she heard footsteps. More than one. Possibly four simultaneously travelling in her direction, directly above. As she listened she heard voices. She heard VOICES! Straight away she knew it was Chris, that voice was undistinguishable. She tapped the floor above, and shouted for him.
"Chris! Chris! Its me, Alex, I'm here!" The voices above stopped. A few seconds later a quiet reply came. It was quiet but a reply just the same.
"Alex…is that you?! Thank God, We are coming right down stay there!" Alex smiled and cuddled the sleeping child. 'We're safe.' She thought.
A low growling was heard behind her.
'There is a hunter behind me! A god-damn hunter!" she whispered to herself. In a flash she protected Missy's head and rocketed to the floor. Missy gave a yelp. Alex covered her mouth. With her other hand she felt around, nothing. The hunter was listening closely to its surroundings. It knew she was there. It would not be long before it pin pointed exactly where she was. Alex was not going to wait for that. She whispered into Missy's ear:
"Ok I am going to lift you up and put you into that vent up there"
Alex motioned up to show Missy where it was. Missy shook her head and said
"No…I don't want to go".
Alex looked at Missy and said
"hey…your gonna be ok. I will come and get you when I get rid of this thing ok. I promise I'll get you when I am finished. But for now I need you to get as far away from this thing as possible and no matter what you hear you don't come back. You keep going ok"
Missy was almost crying she nodded her head. Alex lifted her up and waited till she heard Missy crawling through the vent. Alex, hearing the hunter coming closer she felt around for something to use. After what had seemed like forever Alex found a fire extinguisher, it was empty.
"Oh great…someone loves me today".
Alex could just make out the hunter it was a few feet in front of her. She raised the bulk in front of her and forced it out wherever she thought the head was.
Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeech
She heard it scuffle, Alex could see the shadow come at her again, once more she plunged the fire extinguisher into the darkness. It did not back off, its huge claw lashed out, Alex felt something brush her leg. She raised the extinguisher again, the hunter had saw it coming, it dived out of the way. Alex tried to move but a shooting pain shot through her leg. Alex fell, feeling the warm blood slither down her leg. The hunter came in for the kill.
Alex used her good leg to kick out, the hunter did not slow one bit. Alex closed her eyes preparing herself for the final blow that never came. The hunter had stopped and looked at her, it did not attack, it just stood looking at her. Alex opened her eyes and saw the hunter looking at her in a strange way.
1.1 Bang, Bang, Bang
Several shots rang out, the hunter was thrown back, Alex turned and saw Chris, Barry, Leon and Claire standing…Their guns trained on the hunter. The hunter gave out one last screech as it fell, spasming once before lying still.
Chris, Barry, Leon and Claire made their way down the stairs to Alex. As they neared her location they heard the familiar screech of the hunter. Chris ran as fast as he could towards the unnatural screech. Everything suddenly stopped, Chris kept going, him team close behind him. They turned the corner and saw Alex lying on the floor. The hunter was standing looking at her. Chris raised his gun and began to fire. The others followed and began to fire. The hunter screeched and finally went down, but by the looks of things the damage had already been done. Alex was on the floor, blood running from the wound on her leg. She tried to stand up but was stopped by Claire
"Don't try to stand, we have to get a look at your leg first".
Claire took some bandages out of her pack and knelt down. To her shock she had noticed that the wound had already began to heal on its own, by the looks of it she would say that it was a few hours into the healing process, she looked at Alex with concern in her eyes. Alex looked at Claire the same concern coming into her own eyes, Claire did not let on that anything was wrong…Instead she bandaged the wound the best she could and helped Alex to stand up. Alex stood as though she had not been wounded.
