RAIN'S STRUGGLE



We reached the transport with minimal time to spare. I turned my head away from the mutilated mess that was Spencer Parks. Watching as Kaplan opened the doors to the train. He stepped aside, allowing Matt to lead me inside first, limping in after us. Matt gently set me down against the wall of the train, looking up at Kaplan.

"Can you get this thing moving?" he asked.

Kaplan nodded and disappeared into the drivers car. I looked up at Matt.

"Alice?"

Matt looked back down at me, smiling warmly "She's coming. Hang tight Rain. She'll have the antidote for you."

I nodded smiling up at him, I didn't care if she had the antidote or not. I just wanted to make sure she escaped with us. Matt went to join Kaplan up in the driver's car. For precious minutes I watched the doors, waiting to see Alice enter, I thought I could hear something outside, was it a yell? I couldn't tell as the train sprang to life. Kaplan must have gotten it started. I was strating to worry, and tried to get up, but I knew it was useless. Another wave of sickness passed through me and I haunched over, coughing. Jesus Christ! This wasn't looking good. Perhaps I should have just offed myself right there, but no I wanted to see that Alice made it safely.

And soon I heard the doors opening.

I looked up quickly, aiming my gun at the doors. Alice entered, her face blank of any emotion, carrying a bloody briefcase in one hand, a beeject in the other, I smiled up at her as I lowered my gun. She shut the doors behind her and looked over at me. She smiled warmly and moved over to me, kneeling down and setting the briefcase aside, she opened it, looking over the contents then looked at the beeject. There was a green vial inside, Spencer didn't have the chance to use it. She met my gaze then and gently grabbed one of my arms, I braced myself as she shoved the needle into me, pushing the green liquid into my body, I felt a tingling sensation travel all the way up my arm.

Matt peeked in all of a sudden. He grinned "You made it! Great!" He gestures back inside to Kaplan and then we were moving, I leaned back against the train wall, watching Alice stick another vial into the beeject.

"Heads up!" She tossed the beeject to Matt, who caught it in his hands. "Give that to Kaplan" Matt nodded, disappearing back into the driver's car. Alice closed the briefcase and then looked at me. " I bet you're feeling pretty shitty right now." She smiled, a bright glow in her bluish eyes.

I chuckled, smiling back at her warmly, I wanted to embrace her and I tried to but I was to weak to pull her into my arms. She seemed to understand what I wanted however and leaned in. I wrapped my arms around her tightly, hugging her close to me. She wrapped her arms around me in turn. She felt so warm, her skin soft, the feel of her body pleasent to the touch, my eyes half closed as I leaned into her.

"We made it Rain. I knew we would." Alice said softly, rubbing my back with one of her hands.

"Thank you." I was replying. "I wouldn't have gotten this far without you. I owe you a lot Alice. I'm glad we escaped together. " I kissed her cheek, I wasn't sure if the antidote worked yet so that was the best I could do for now, though I really wanted to give her more, but knew that was inpossible now. I was relieved and happy. Matt and Alice survived, Kaplan and I had the antidote and we would survive as well. After all that shit I struggled to survive I had finally made it and now the train was leaving the Hive. Leaving the Hell that was Umbrella.

But I couldn't be too positive.

I pulled back, grabbing my gun and handing it to Alice. "Alice.......If by chance the antidote doesn't work and I become one of those things....."

Alice looked at me stunned, she shook her head, "Rain...." but I kept talking.

"If it does happen. You got to take me out Alice." I peered at her with a soft gaze "I want you to promise you'll kill me if I change."

Alice was looking down at the gun. "Alice?" I asked.

"I promise." Was her soft reply. I smiled relievedly, letting my head fall. God, I was so fucking tired, my eyes closed, my head was still throbbing, and I still felt weak, but the antidote probably hadn't kicked in yet. I faintly caught Alice's voice. Was she calling my name? I heard a click, opening my eyes, my head still down as I peeked up at her through the tip of my vision. Alice was peering at me with a pained expression, the gun aimed at me, her hand was quivering.

I reached up and grabbed the barrel of the gun, Alice gasped as she saw me move, I looked up into her eyes, smirking, "I'm not dead yet." Alice breathed a sigh of relief and smiled warmly at me, nodding, "I think you better give me that back" Alice chuckled, and I smiled warmly at her. Soon we would reach the surface, then we could leave. We could just fucking leave Umbrella in the dust. Escape their deadly, evil world together. The thought was pleasing, and I leaned back into the wall, smiling as I closed my eyes once more.

Alice.........ah Alice. You and me...... we can defeat anything. As long as I have you with me. Nothing can ever fucking beat us. Nothing. I owe you my life Alice. I owe you everything. And I promise, I will give you everything.

I opened my eyes, Alice was getting up to check on Matt and Kaplan, as she left the train car I managed to utter what I had meant to say for awhile now, "I love you......Alice."

I wasn't sure if she heard me or not, but it didn't matter. I could say it again when we got to the surface, but now I was tired. I leaned back, my eyes closing again, bringing me to darkness.

Never to see the light again.
