Forest
Author's Note:
Hey all if you have read this far I must be doing something right! Thanx to all who have read and reviewed this story. One thing is I go by Chris' version in the original RE 1 so Forest does not turn into a zombie I might add an alternate ending at the bottom for those who want to see Forest suffer more than he needs to. Again I don't own Resident Evil blah, blah. Now on with the fic! Enjoy!!!
Forest
Forest walked through the halls of the R.P.D. building on his way up to the helipad. The Bravo team had just been given the go-ahead to search deeper into the Arkley Mountains than the R.P.D. had been. He had just come from the S.T.A.R.S. office after fetching his gear he headed for the stairs up to the helipad when up ahead he saw his friend Chris Redfield from the Alpha team,
"Yo Chris!"
"Hey Forest where you off to?"
"Irons and Wesker finally gave the go-ahead to widen out search area. So while all yawl Alpha's are sitting round doin' paper work us Bravos are gonna be kickin' some cannibal ass!"
"Yeah well just be careful ok you still owe me a drink remember so don't end up in a cooking pot"
"No need to worry Chris I got this"
He held up his bazooka, grinning confidently, he was a great sniper and knew it! Chris simply patted him on the shoulder and walked off to the S.T.A.R.S. office, the Alphas did most of the boring paperwork so the Bravos could get more experience. He jogged up the stairs talking to Chris had made him late. He arrived just as Edward was warming the blades up. He climbed aboard quickly as Enrico the Bravo team captain gave him a stern look; he was a big Italian and strict as hell when he needed to be, but he was a generally nice guy.
"Forest you know bazooka's aren't standard issue, can't you be happy with a Berretta like the rest of us?"
"No can do captain left it back in the office besides I shoot better with this. An I don't know about yawl but I feel a whole lot safer goin' up against those cannibal killers with this than some ol' hand gun"
Enrico just frowned and turned away knowing they didn't have enough time to sent him back over a gun. They all took their seats as the copter took off, then as soon as they were headed towards the mountains, they started getting ready. Looking around Forest noticed that only three out of the six team members were wearing bullet proof vests, Edward the pilot, the new girl Rebecca, and himself. It was unusual but then there hadn't been any sign of weapon use in any of the attacks. After fastening his utility belt, checking everything was where it should be he stood by the window.
As they reached the un-searched are they all kept their eyes peeled for anything out the ordinary as Edward took the copter lower and started flying back and forth. This went on for what felt like hours but what could only have been five or ten minutes, when the copter jerked and he heard the engine stall. Something was wrong. The engine stalled again,
"Hey! Were gonna have to land the engine's failed buckle up now!"
Forest wracked his brain as to what could be wrong as his sat down next to Kenneth and buckled the belt round his waist, on Kenneth's other side Rebecca spoke she sounded very uneasy this was her first mission,
"Does this usually happen?"
"Like hell it does! Me, Joseph, Edward AND Brad all checked the copter out like three days ago! As soon as we land I'm takin' a good look!"
Edward found a small clearing just in time, the landing was rough as Edward didn't have enough time to straighten up properly, Forest nearly flew out his seat despite the safety belt round his mid section. Before the blades had even stopped the engine burst into flame, Forest practically ripped the belt of him and without thinking to grab any of the supplies except his gun he scrambled out the copter as the fire grew. Once they were out he couldn't even get close to the engine the heat and smoke was unbelievable, although it seemed to be dying down itself.
Beside him Richard was trying to contact the R.P.D. or the Alphas. The trees were making it impossible the only sounds were static. That's when Forest realised something wasn't quite right. They were in the middle of the woods and it was still light, yet the only sounds were what they were making, no birds, no bugs, nothing.
He turned round to see Edward holding his right wrist, and it was bleeding. Rebecca who was about twenty meters away, when she was about half that Edward held his arm out. Just in time for some freak of nature dog to jump up and rip his wrist clean off, then about five dogs also jumped at Edward their howling and Edwards screams breaking the silence. It was his friend's screams that snapped him into action, he raised his gun and started firing but it was too late, Edwards' screams were already dying out just like him. Then one of the dogs looked at Forest and he turned and ran he saw Richard ahead but lost sight of him and everyone else as he entered the trees, he ran and ran as fast as he could when he heard what sounded like Enrico shouting,
"The Spencer pla-...dead ahead!"
That was it he'd forgot that the old mansion was up this part. Now that he had a plan he forced himself to run faster, he felt the dogs getting close and then heard a shot, he dared to look back and saw Kenneth had taken out the dog that had been chasing him. Turning his attention to where he was running, he shouted over his shoulder,
"The old Spencer place is just ahead follow me!"
As if to prove himself right the place loomed into view as they exited the trees it was then a flat out run to the door which thankfully was half open. He burst inside and fell to his knees trying to catch his breath as Kenneth slammed the door into the face of one of those freak dogs. Neither he nor Kenneth spoke until both their breathing rate was back to normal, as soon as he could Forest spoke,
"Do you think any of the others made it here?"
Kenneth was looking at the door,
"The door was forced open not too long ago so yeah"
"Man what were those things?"
Before his question was answered a loud shot came from above them. He turned and looked at Kenneth, who wasn't holding a weapon a plan began to form in his mind,
" Look there's obviously others here so why don't yawl check the ground floor since yawl don't have your gun and I'll take a quick look upstairs"
"Okay but meet back here in ten ok?"
Forest nodded and turned, walking up the huge staircase in the centre of the grand hall, his footsteps muffled by the red carpet. After reaching the landing he paused, as there was now two ways he could go, left or right. Been right handed he chose right. He came to a door he tried the handle, it turned easily, and he walked into a small corridor with a door adjacent to the one he had entered through. He walked over to that one since there was nothing else of interest, this one also turned easily.
He felt the breeze on his face as the door closed behind him, he was on a balcony he walked along and noticed some different coloured herbs in plant pots as he rounded a corner which lead to the end of the balcony there was a railing all the way round. The herbs looked familiar he remembered Rebecca showing him a picture in a book of hers with herbs like those in before he could remember what he heard a loud squawking, he turned to see a very large crow, the size of a snowy owl perched on the railing, it was looking right at him.
"Hello little birdie"
As he said that, he heard another squawk, followed by another and another, he turned to see about half a dozen sat in a near by tree. Then without warning they all flew at him, their claws and beaks ripped at his flesh, his primal instincts took over and he shielded his face, as the giant birds piped and tore away, he then dared to move his arm long enough to fire a blind shot he was rewarded with a squawk of pain as one less bird attacked him. The pain became too much and he fell to the ground as the birds continued to feast on his flesh. Suddenly a rumbling noise could be heard and the dogs down below started howling, this caught the crow's attention and they flew off leaving Forest half eaten and half alive.
Forest sat there bleeding, alone and in a lot of pain he knew if he didn't get help soon he would die. In the distance he could he the source of the rumbling noise that had distracted the crows and dogs, the Alpha's helicopter near the smoke column coming from their helicopter. Help was coming he just had to hold on. Then he remembered what the herbs were for, he reached for the nearest pot and chewed the herb he pulled out it tasted horrible but within a few minutes it took away a little of the pain. He looked down at his wounds, all-pouring with blood, they couldn't all clot in time, and he had lost a lot of blood already.
He sighed resting his head against the wall, all his strength was gone, he couldn't move, he couldn't pick his gun up in case the crows came back, and he couldn't stand up and get away. He was so tired so very, very tired. He could have a little sleep until the others got to him and if he was asleep he couldn't feel pain. He closed his eyes and he was soon asleep. ** Forest never awoke.
(Ok for all you nasty people who want to see more suffering on poor Forests part here you go this carries on from the **)
He heard a bang. He opened his eyes. Every part of his body itched and yet all the pain was gone. Turning slowly he saw Chris shooting the last of he crows. Chris smelt strange he smelt warm and GOOD. Forest stumbled to his feet. He had to drag his feet but he could walk. His mouth watered in anticipation he reached out towards Chris and he moaned, he couldn't help it Chris just smelt so good he had to take a bite. He NEEDED to take a bite, then Chris raised his gun, but he wouldn't shoot, Forest knew that, they were friends. And then everything were black, this time though, Forest wouldn't be getting up again.
*** Hey all! Hope you all liked it! The next chapter will be Richard Aiken, then Enrico Marini, then Brad Vickers, Mikhail Victor, and Steve Burnside. I don't know whether to do any more if you have any suggestions either mention in your review or email me. Next chapter will be up Friday latest. ***
