Resident Evil: Forever Doomed
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
"I'm right here." Ken stood there in the shadows of the dark room. Ever since his rush of strength he's had an infuriating crave for something to eat, and looking out onto the teenager made his mouth water. He lurked out of the shadows and pounced down on the girl and brutally gnawed away on his meal. The girl screamed a blood curdling cry of death as he continued to eat.
----------------------
"Damn it!" screamed Lance as Jill helplessly searched through one of the lockers.
"I know how you feel," said Jill, "I can't find anything either."
Nothing in locker number seven...
Jill quickly moved over to the next locker and opened it.
Bingo!
Right there in the back of the locker was a small yellow card. She quickly grabbed it and hurriedly ran to the elevator and slid it through the reader. The doors opened.
"Wait, shouldn't we go back for the others first?" asked Lance.
"We don't have the time."
"I know, but what if Lauren isn't up there, then what? I say we split up, I can take care of myself-- trust me."
They stared into each other's eyes and after countless moments Jill nodded and began for the elevator.
----------------------
"Is anyone there?" The cold, silent air brushed against Katie as she lied perched against the wall. It'd been about twenty minutes since Toni left and Katie felt that something must've happened. She slowly got up, holding onto her side as pain coursed through her bones. "Jill, Lance?" Slowly, but steadily, she walked back towards the intersection where they'd split up.
Not going to make it.
The clang of her footsteps against the metal only added to the chill of the desolate hall. "Hello?" she cried, but in return received nothing. "Damn it." she muttered under her breath and stopped and leaned against the wall and shut her eyes; the pain too unbearable to endure.
Clang clang!
The sound of feet on metal came from up ahead and the sound began to grow louder.
"Jill? Lance?" Katie asked.
"Katie-- is that you?" Lance's solemn voice calmed Katie down a bit. "Thank God you're okay. Where's Toni?"
"She went back there to search for help, but that was about a half an hour ago. Do we go and search for her or do we--" She was cut off by pain rising through her.
"Katie!" screamed Lance.
Katie slowly turned her head down and saw giant knife-like objects through her stomach. She gasped and then went flying--
--her body slammed into the wall and once she finally hit the ground she closed her eyes and began to pray that it would all be over soon.
----------------------
Lance stared at the thing that had just killed his friend. The creature was about double his height. It had once been human, but about half of its body didn't resemble a human-- where a left arm should've been a giant, bloody claw took it's place. Its face was strangely deformed, there was no way of telling who it had been. It opened it's misshapen mouth as if about to speak, and in a low, raspy voice it did just that. "I killed your friends, and now I'll kill you too."
Ken!?
It opened its mouth again, only this time a loud, high-pitched screech came out.
Shit!
Lance raised his Beretta and fired-- three, four, five shots into it's distorted head and the creature that had once been Ken screeched again, this time in pain. It raised it's clawed arm, ready to swing, and Lance opened fire again.
Go for the eyes, just like the zombies!
His thoughts raced for an answer and he silently cursed himself for not staying with Jill. The monster screamed again as it lowered its arm and slowly fell to its knees. It screamed yet again and something happened this time. It seemed to be changing in form, but that's all that Lance could tell as he turned around and began to run back. As he ran he checked his gun to see how many rounds he had left and counted only two.
