Chapter Nine
I hear her play the same old song
She puts me off and puts me on
And had a bad day again
She said I would not understand
Left a note and said 'I'm sorry I
had a bad day again.'

-Bad Day
"Hi, my name's Sherri. What's yours?"
"................."
"Okay........." Sherri sighed as she walked away. It was bad enough that she was stuck here while Leon could've been in danger, but the only other teen here didn't speak a word to her. Some strange girl that they picked up at an apartment. Strange girl..... looks like Leon's girlfriend Aya......
"My name's....Eve...." Sherri turned around sharply to see the teen had walked up to her.
"Eve, huh?"
"Yes."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"You smell like monsters..."
"Monsters?" Sherri was getting pissed as the fact she was basicly told she stunk, "What monsters?"
"In the lab.........."
"This is never comming out of the walls..." Leon commented, "Or the carpet. Good-bye deposit." He sighed as he looked at the blood and gore already staining the walls and floor, thanks to Aya's attack.
"Don't worry about it. The government will take care of it since it's MIST related." Aya announced as she walked past him into Sherri's room. "Let's look to see if there's anymore before we break out the Resolve." She then flipped open what seemed to be a pocket computer. "The GPS doesn't read anything, but G-Virus or T-Virus monsters haven't been catagorized yet by MIST..."
"So that means we search the old way. Not like it matters, there's no more here, but there's one downstairs." Leon commented as he walked out of the apartment, leaving Aya to close the door.
"How do you know?"
"I'll never forget that smell...."
"Lab..." Sherri begain to back up, "What lab?"
"the ones with the monsters, and the tubes...."
"What?"
"The ones that looked like humans, with the big train, and the big plant..."
"Oh, my god....."
"The one in Rat Moon City....."
"Here!" Leon pointed as they approached the door, to which Aya promply knocked. After a few minutes with no answer, Aya proceded to try and kick it open. Leon joined her and soon the door flew off it's hinges. Letting the weapons lead, they entered the small apartment, scanning.
"This is definatly the place, it smells like rotten meat...." Aya muttered as she entered the kitchen. Everthing was in diarray. Dishes and food, then she saw it. A dismembered foot, covered it cuts and skin shreded into ribbon, bright red blood spalttered all around and on it. "Leon, I found something."
"Not as bad as what I found." Aya then left the kitchen and followed Leon's voice into the living room when......
"oh....my....god..." She wispered and slid to the ground. Body parts littered the entire place and blood soaked anything it touched. The drapes, the couch, the TV, everything. Intestinal organs and meat were flung everywhere and skin hung off everything and anything like ribbon. Aya felt sick. "My God, Leon..."
"It's still here...." Leon hissed and and cocked his shotgun. "SHOW YOURSELF, YOU BASTARD!"
"LEON, ABOVE YOU!" That's all he heard before he dove forwarn into the gore filled room and shots rang out. The licker dropped promply from the cleiling as Leon tried to stand. Aya threw herself back to doge the beast's landing, but then watched it horror as it reared back at the Leon, who hadn't recovered fully, then lanched itself, claws ready. "LEON, LOOK OUT!" She screamed, and watched in horror as Leon could only cover his face with his arms.
"Stay away!" Sherri screamed.
"What?"
"GET AWAY FROM ME!" She shouted and ran torward the door to the shooting range, momentarly crashing into Pierce's side.
"Wha..... Sherri, what's wrong?" He yelled as he ran after the girl, leaving Eve alone.
"Birkin...."
Leon almost threw up as he picked himself off the dripping red floor, covered in it's liquid. "LEON, LOOK OUT!" Leon shot his face up to see the brown licker less that 5 feet away from his. Acting on instict, Leon used his arms to cover his face and gritted his teeth, waiting for the pain. Ohgod,ohgod,itsgonnakillme,imsorrysherri,aya,ohgodHis thoughts exploded and heat rushed through his body as time seemed to slow down. Out of the blue, a horrible scream filled the air and his body felt like it was on fire. The scream flew past his and after a few moments, Leon removed his arms from his face to see Aya looking at him in horror.
"Aya....." His wispered.
"You...you...you just...."
"What....." Leon looked behind him to see the melting corpse of the licker, still screaming as if it burned in the fires of hell for eternity.
"You......you....you lit that thing...on fire......" Aya muttered. Leon wirrled around to face her.
"What.......?"
"You....You lit it on fire Leon!" Aya screamed, "You, YOU HAVE MAYA'S KIDNEY! YOU LIT IT ON FIRE!"
