Resident Evil: Forever Doomed
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Just a little bit longer.....
Lauren stood behind the ajar door and waited softly. She tried her hardest not to make a sound, not even scratching. Lauren peered out from the behind door and saw Kenneth standing over the blood-stained cot.
The blood!
Lauren looked down and saw a trail of blood. Her fists began to sweat as she clenched down on the numerous syringes she had taken from the table.
"Now where did she go!?" screamed Kenneth.
Lauren knew that it was now or never, if she waited any longer he would notice the trail of blood.
Lauren used all of her strength to slam the door shut and jam the syringes into Ken's back. He turned around and looked Lauren in the eyes. Lauren stared at him, he was struggling to breath, and Lauren could see the blood pouring onto the floor.
"Nobody," she stated loudly, "messes with my friends."
Just then Ken collapsed onto the cot-- lifeless.
Lauren forced a smile at seeing this, but it quickly faded as the pain swept through her body again. She reached for her side as she began to stumble out of the room.
Lauren looked into the monitor on the dark-wood desk. She saw her friends. She looked around in a desperate attempt to find a microphone, or perhaps something in which she could use to contact them.
----------------------
"Now where?" asked Toni as they all stood in front of where the hallway split.
"I say we split up. Toni and Katie, go down that hallway, and Lance and I will go this way. Ready?"
They all nodded in agreement and headed toward there designated halls.
----------------------
Ken could feel the blood surging out of his body. Instinctively, he knew that he was going to die, but physically, he felt more than the presence of death; he felt the presence of a new beginning. Slowly, but efficiently, he regained strength, and felt stronger than he ever had in his life.
Ken tried his best to stand up. He slightly opened his eyes and looked out of the door. There she was, standing there messing with the controls on the computer. Ken reached for the table and picked up the girl's gun. Slowly he pulled the hammer back and--
--BAM!!--
--just like that she fell to the floor, blood seeping out of the bullet hole in her chest. Ken lowered the gun, aimed it at her head, and shot three more rounds. Blood splattered everywhere. Lauren was dead.
----------------------
Katie and Toni walked through the desolate hall. They had passed several doors, but they were all locked, a metallic card reader next to each of them.
"Hold on." Katie said lightly. She stopped and leaned against the wall.
"What's wrong?"
"I feel," she paused, "dizzy. I don't feel so good." Katie placed a hand against her forehead. The cold touch against her hot, sweating forehead felt good.
"Here, just rest." Toni helped her friend sit down on the floor. "I'll be right back, I'm going to go on and see if I can find something to help you. I don't want you to leave. Got it?"
Katie nodded, and Toni was off on her search.
----------------------
"If only we had a damn key card." Lance said out of anger.
"Calm down. We'll make it out of here. We're going to be fine."
They both looked ahead, a single door was there. Lance walked slowly towards it; a smile spreading across his face. There was no card reader. He prayed that it was unlocked. He slowly stretched his hand out towards the knob and turned it slowly. With an unheard click, the door opened. The pair gradually stepped through the door.
It out looked a large room. On the walls were lab uniforms and lockers.
"Look!" shouted Jill pointing across the room. Lance looked up to where she pointed. "An elevator! It might just lead out of here." The two quickly rushed towards that large metallic doors.
"Shit!" screamed Lance looked at the card reader next to the elevator.
"Don't give up yet, let's check the lockers. I'm pretty sure at least one locker might contain a key card." said Jill hopefully.
"Wait a second." Lance started. "If there's all of these lockers and uniforms, where are all of the workers?"
"I don't know, but I'm not sure I really want to find out."
----------------------
"Lauren!" yelled Toni. She looked down at Lauren's body sprawled out on the floor, and then her look changed to the puddles of blood. Toni shut her eyes, unable to handle the pain of looking at her friend.
"Hello, Toni." a low, raspy voice said.
Toni looked up, but surprisingly nobody was there.
"Looking for something?" the voice spoke again.
"Where are you?" Her voice trembled as she raised her gun, helplessly looking around for the speaker.
