RAIN'S STRUGGLE
I couldn't stand the silence. Not one of them spoke since we left Kaplan in the sewers. I tried to look back at Alice, but she was walking behind us. Soon we entered a familiar area of the Hive. It was the glass labs, only now since the Red Queen had been shut down and tampered with, the water had drained, which had set the dead mother fuckers free. Now it was seemingly deserted, and presenting us with an eerie feeling, but despite the uneasiness, I couldn't help but feel a bit relieved. We were drawing closer to the transport.
I felt Matt breathe a sigh of relief, turning his head to look down at me, "We'll be out of here yet Rain." he managed a smile, his blue eyes twinkling, "I bet you can't wait."
I smirked up at him. He was right, I couldn't wait. My heart seemed to thump harder at the thought of finally getting out of here. "Yeah, and once I get out of here I think I'm gunna get laid."
Matt chuckled, giving me a slight squeeze, "You should clean yourself up first," he teased, Spence had heard our conversation and the three of us chuckled. I blinked as Matt and Spence stopped all of a sudden. I looked up at Matt questioningly. He turned us around, I managed to look up and see Alice peering into one of the labs, muttering some bull shit.
"Blue.......Blue and Green. Blue is the Virus. Green....."
"Alice?" Matt asked, upping a brow in question. I too looked at Alice questioningly, had the gal finally lost it?!
"Blue is the Virus. Green is the Anti-Virus....."
We all exchanged looks, what the Hell was she babbling about?! I almost told her to cut the bull shit and to get a move on when she finally looked back at us, the excitement showed on her face.
"There's a cure!"
"Cure?" Matt asked. I looked at Alice in disbelief. Was she shittin' me? But she sounded completely serious.
"Yes! Yes! A cure! Blue is the Virus, Green is the Anti-Virus! We can get the antidote for Rain!"
My heart caught in my throat, my mouth agape, peering up at Alice, searching her gaze. She smiled back at me brightly, a warm glow in her eyes.
"Do you know where we can find it?" Matt asked. He also looked a bit excited. I was completely blown away. They were risking their time and lives to help me. I was a nobody, a bitch in black faigues who couldn't give a shit about anyone.
Well, that wasn't entirely true.
"I know exactly where it is," Alice's gaze stayed locked on mine. I grinned, though a weak one, mouthing a silent thank you to her. Alice nodded and stepped by us, "this way." We followed her down the dim litted corridior.
The corridior also seemed abandoned, a dim light hoovered, not much but manageble. it was also deathly silent, save for our footsteps. I shuddered, silence usually meant that something would be jumping out at us later. I was God damn sure of it. As we neared the end, Alice sped up her pace, even sooner breaking into a jog, the three of us following as fast as we could. My heart was pounding, the adreneline pumping through my body, but I knew it was a waste to get all worked up about it. Wasn't the Virus still being studied? How could we be certain it would work? But we didn't have the time to think about it now.
Alice almost burst through the door, us entering the lab soon after. Alice went down the stairs into knee deep water. The place was a wreck. Glass was shattered all over the counters, papers floating on the surface of the murky pool, a few sparks showered from the ceiling nearby, a chill in the air making me shudder. Spence let me go and Matt leaned me up gently against the railing. I still felt terrible, the quesiness in my stomach seeming to grow. I was now finding it harder to keep my head up. I was weak, I was useless, I was turning.....
Fuck, Alice I hope you're right.
Alice was looking over the room, finally approaching a containment area in the wall, her eyes scanning the inside, her face fell, then drew into anger, hitting the side in frustration "Dammit! Where is it?!"
I slumped against the rail, my gaze downcast. I knew it was a waste of time to get my hopes up, another dizzy spell hit me and I gripped the rail tightly. I heard them talking again but I couldn't make out the words, my body shivering, but not from the cold. I looked up and gapped.
Spencer had a gun aimed on Matt and Alice.
What the Fuck!? I moved to get up, but I was too fuckin weak to move on my own. Shit! I couldn't stand being this helpless. The two people who seemed to care for my well being were in trouble and I couldn't help them. I looked at Alice who was staring coldly at Spence, and that's when the whole story was revealed.
Spence had overheard Alice talking to one of the Umbrella workers. A woman working for a rebellious group undercover. Alice had told the woman she would get her the evidence she needed on one condition. They would take out Umbrella. The woman had agreed, and Spence began to think of how valuable the Virus REALLY was. After they had made love, Spence had went down into the Hive, stealing the Viral cases and tossing one aside, infecting the whole facility. He had gotten the goods and taken out Umbrella as Alice had wanted. However he hadn't expected the gas on his way back out of the Hive which is why the Umbrella team had found him on the train.
"The night all my dreams came true." Alice scowled at Spence.
"We can still get out of here. Do you know how much one would be willing to buy the Virus? Millions Alice......maybe even billions. We can do this together. We can leave this place and live the high life Alice."
I glared at Spence fiercely, he had no intention of the rest of us escaping, perhaps planned to kill us when we reached the transport, I wanted to jump the mother fucker and beat the shit out of him, but I knew that was impossible, I could only glare at him. Cursing myself inside. 'One' had been too trusting of these two, and he was dead now. Everyone else was dead. Fuck, how I wanted to beat the fuck out of him, or at least bite his ass when I turned.
Alice glanced at something over his shoulder, but said nothing, looking back at Spence with a cold gaze, I looked behind Spence to see that a zombie had risen from the pool and was approaching him from behind, Spence was talking about some shit, probably still trying to convince Alice to go with him. I watched as the zombie drew closer. That's it.....a little closer. bite the mother fucker. Let him deal with all this shit.
Spencer cried out as the zombie grabbed him, it bit into his flesh with a sickening tear, he growled, pushing it away and shooting it, Alice moved in but Spence quickly had the gun back on her, Alice glared.
Spence backed out towards the door. "Fucking die down here then!" He then slammed the door shut. Alice rushed up the steps and tried the door. The fucker had locked us in.
It was over. I leaned against the rail, defeated. We were all going to die and there was nothing we could do.
I closed my eyes, breathing heavily, my time was running out I could feel it.
"I've been a bad girl."
I looked up as I heard the Red Queen's voice. Alice and Matt were watching the screen. I looked at the screen. Spence had reached the transport and pulled out a briefcase, he opened it, inside were the viral cases, he took one of the green ones and was about to inject it into himself when he was suddenly attacked by some sort of creature, the skin was inside out, a long whip like tongue pierced and tore at Spence's body, I turned my head away from the gory mess.
"It's changing" Matt said. I looked back up. the scene was gone but the Red Queen was speaking to them again. I tried to focus on what they were saying, but it was difficult.
"Let us out." Alice said.
"I will open the doors on one condition." The Red Queen replied. " You must kill the infected one."
Alice and Matt both turned to look at me, but I was peering up at the screen, I was in shock, yet somehow, I wasn't all that suprised. Originally the Queen went homicidal because the workers were 'infected' and I was no different to her. Alice's face looked crestfallen and she looked back at the screen.
"We wont do that!"
"Then you will stay here."
"We have the antidote! She can be cured!"
"I cant risk it. Kill her now or remain down here."
I looked down. I had a descision to make........and almost immediately I did. "You have to."
Alice turned and looked back at me shocked. I tried to move and managed to get myself into the water and limp over to Alice, I peered into her eyes. "I'm going to die anyway Alice. I'm only slowing you all down." I gestured to the fire axe that lay nearby "You have to escape Alice." I turned then, my back to her, I didn't want to see her, tears had misted her eyes and it was painful to see it, I sunk down to my knees, yet another dizzy spell hit me, I grabbed at my head. God I just wanted it to be fuckin over with. "Do it now!" I yelled, trying to hold back the pain in my voice. "Do it now! You have to!"
I heard Alice shift in the water, but those precious moments seemed to be drawn out. "God Dammit Alice!!!!!!! You have to do it! You have to kill me!"
"No Rain...."
"Do it! Kill me!!" I heard the Red Queen in the distance also telling Alice to do the same, I saw her shadow on the water, she had lifted the axe up high, I closed my eyes waiting for the final strike to come and then I heard glass shatter, I opened my eyes and looked up, Alice had broken the screen, breathing heavily.
"We will escape together" she looked at me, determination in her eyes "All of us" My heart seemed to skip a beat. I peered up into her eyes, I couldn't believe this shit. Why Alice, why?
Then we heard the large thump against the wall. It was the Hunter! He had found us! and was now trying to break through the wall! Matt grabbed a hold of me and we went back up the stairs, Alice attacked it with the axe, but it wasn't working. We all cursed simultaniously, the Hunter had almost broke through, suddenly the lights went out save for a few. We all looked around in shock and then the door opened.
It was Kaplan!
Holy Shit! Kaplan was still alive! He held up the remote, grinning. "Bitch wouldn't open the door. So I fried her."
I wanted to hug that mother fucker! I found myself grinning with him. I took back everything bad I ever said about the guy. He had really saved our asses this time.
We jumped as we heard the Hunter break through. Matt quickly rushed me through the door, followed by Alice, shutting and locking it behind her, we all jumped back as the beast hit the door, growling and snarling. Kaplan looked us all over. "No let's get the fuck out of here."
Hear hear brother. I couldn't agree more.
"The transport!" And we were off. Drawing to our final moments.....
