Resident Evil: Forever Doomed

CHAPTER EIGHT

"Fuck!" called Kenneth. He stood before a large mass of zombies ranging in size. He sneered at what Denita had done. He was neither happy nor mad. Kenneth didn't know what to feel; he wanted to be happy, and yet he didn't.

Damn this is good.

Kenneth looked down at his S&W M19 and decided that there were just too many of them for his Magnum to handle. He saw a small passageway between the lockers and the creations and chose to try and make it. He dashed right through not stopping.

I wonder why they didn't even attempt to get me. He questioned.

He stopped and looked back on the group and saw that they had a meal of their own. He looked down and saw the top of a scalp, brown, curly hair rest atop the bloody skin. Kenneth continued to look at it, and for a moment there he wondered if he actually felt sorry for the girl. "Nah." he said aloud and walked away.

----------------------

Jill stood in the large, open room once again, awaiting her children friends to come back. Jill didn't know whether to call them friends, or acquaintances.

I guess they are my friends.

Jill was remembering what Claire had told her about Sherry Birkin. It was very much like this; Claire finds little lost Birkin, daughter of the creator of the T- and G-Virus, William Birkin, and saves her life. Claire did end up having to take care of Sherry after what they thought was the end of this whole ordeal. Jill met Sherry on a few occasions, just recently. Sherry turned fourteen just last month.

She must be about the same age as these kids.

Jill stood still, thinking about everything; about how one simple, undersized task turned into a giant suicide mission, about how she could never go back to the life she once lived, about how she would never make it through to the end. Jill couldn't help but shed a few tears. She still stood there, doing nothing but thinking. A salty tear reaching her mouth; tears dripping down her cheek, giving her the slightest tingle. Jill just let them slide down her face, ignoring the sense.

You can't do this Jill, at least not now, especially now! You have to stay strong for these kids, and mostly for yourself.

"You can do it." Jill said strongly, wiping the tears from her face.

"Do what?" she heard Lance ask. Jill turned around to see Toni and Lance standing by the open door.

"Nothing. Did you find anything?" Jill asked her question strongly, and without emotion.

"Yeah, we think we found the weapon storage room. You know the one in the letter." Toni said, still looking into Jill's reddened eyes.

"Great." Jill replied, with the slightest bit of a tremble in her saddened voice. "Were you crying?" Lance asked after about a second of nothing. Jill wiped her eyes.

Real smart Jill, now they'll know that you'd been crying.

"You were crying." Lance said.

"Just a little bit." Jill managed to say. Lance stepped closer to Jill.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Jill opened her mouth to speak, trying her hardest not to cry again.

"I can't go on. I just can't." Lance darted a look towards his friend and saw concern in her face.

"Yes you can, you have to be able to go."

A single tear ran down her face as she opened her mouth to speak, "Don't you get it, Umbrella has won." She paused. "There just is no stopping Umbrel--"

"You're right, Jill." Lance interrupted, "There is no stopping Umbrella as long as we're standing her bullshitting about it. We have to stay strong, and we have to work together. We will stop Umbrella. Together." Jill looked into Lance's caring eyes. He smiled, and she couldn't help but to smile back.

He's right. You can't let this get you down.

She stood up straight, looked at Lance again, and then at Toni and nodded. "Good, let's go." Toni said and they all headed towards the door that Katie and Lauren went into.

----------------------

"What's that?" Katie asked.

"What?"

"It sounded like a door."

"Yeah maybe--"

"Shh." Katie interrupted.

"So, you say the door was locked?" Katie let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh, it's just Lance and the others." Lauren nodded her head. The girls stared at the corner, waiting for their friends to come into view.

The footsteps grew louder, and louder. Lauren and Katie could see the shadows illuminating on the wall.

There's Lance's shadow, Toni, Jill, and..... What the hell is that!?

The three friends moved around the corner and stopped.

"Hey." Toni said, she sounded disappointed. No response came from either of the girls, they just continued to watch the shadow move.

It's seems to be walking around.... on the ceiling!!?

"Um," Lauren started. A single fleshless claw came into view.

"What, what is it?" Jill asked. Katie pointed a shaky finger. Jill turned around and--

--the claw fell from the ceiling and right into Jill's arm. The creature stuck out a large massive tongue.

"Shoot the damn thing." Jill cried out. Lance raised his gun and began to fire.

Bang! Bang!

Shots flew everywhere, along with large amounts of blood. The blood, thick and red, splattered all of the walls. The creature let out a shriek as it fell to the floor, kicking it's leg's wildly.

"Is," Toni started, "Is it dead?"

"Let's hope so." Lance said, taking a step closer to the creature. "Yeah, it's dead." Lance uttered.

"What was it?" Lauren asked moving closer to their friends.
