The feeling of awe after seeing Sarah's body disappear from our sight was still alive in my head. I couldn't quite understand how any type of virus could create a zombie that could seemingly teleport. Not even the so-called I-Virus. We couldn't stand around and ponder the idea any longer. I felt as if we were pressed for time. For some reason I had this forbodeing feeling that Jill, Chris, and Claire were going to be test subjects for a new virus. Some would call this unnecessary paranoia, but even so I rushed the group out of the room.

John spoke of something he remembered seeing when he was entering the temple earlier that day, "Well we were dropped off about a mile away by helicopter. We were then provided with a small Jeep to make the way to the temple so we wouldn't have to go on foot. Some kind of large catlike animal attacked the jeep. The three people you saw with me and myself were the survivors of an eight-person group. The cat-like thing tore them to shreds. Soon afterward they started to mutate very much like your friend, Sarah did. The four who mutated attacked us, and because our ammo was limited we ran. We made our way for the temple hoping Umbrella really had nothing whatsoever to do with all this craziness because the temple was our only shelter. As we ran I noticed an apartment building. It was huge. The color of it was strange though. It was green as if no one wanted it spotted. I mean the green fit right in with the foliage. I think we could find some clues to the missing S.T.A.R.S there."

"Alright then John," Kevin said, "Lead the way."

John led us out of the temple onto the grounds. He walked write up to the lard building. Vines had grown on it.

"How long has this been here?" Xavier asked, "I mean the president just sent you guys right?" he said looking at John.

"Yes," John said.

"Maybe some kinds of T-Virus plants are the origin of these strange vines. Look at them! One of them is blue and red!" Keith said.

He was right. Even strange there seemed to be blood pumping through veins. Had they been mixing plant and animal genes then infecting the result with the T-Virus? A horrible thought. I didn't voice this possibility because it was obvious that the others were thinking the same thing. John went up and the small flight of stairs and up to the door. He opened it and walked through.

"My God!" said David, "This place is huge!"

This wasn't an overstatement. If anything it was an understatement. The inside was a big as a mansion I had seen on MTV's Cribs. However the same plant vines that were on the outside of the building were all through the interior as well. A rustling sound came from under the stairs in the middle of the room. "I'll check it out," Eric said.

He went to the source of the sound. A screech and Eric's scream echoed off the walls seconds later. We ran up to the stairs and saw a horrible sight. Eric's hand was stuck in side a giant Venus flytrap's jaws. He couldn't reach his gun, so Keith shot it off. It whimpered but instead of dieing it started toward Keith. I took out my handgun and started shooting. No effect.

John loaded his grenade launcher with incendiary shells and shot it. The flytrap burst into flames. It burned into ashes at Keith's feet. Luckily nothing looked infected on Eric's hand and we went up the staircase. At the top I heard something slamming against the ceiling.

"What was that?" I asked.

"I'm not sure," David said.

Through came a giant cat. It resembled a Jaguar, except with demon like eyes and a blood stained fur coat. It attacked with precision and speed. It knocked Eric to the ground and finished him off. It began to slowly rip off his limbs and eat them. It may sound harsh but we took this opportunity to shoot at the thing. The bullets didn't have much affect. The places where the bullets penetrated the skin oozed blood but it had no other effect.

The acid rounds from John's grenade launcher were the only things that worked. It ate away at the Jaguar's fur and flesh eventually killing it. When the body of the giant cat hit the ground we made a run through the double doors at the top of the staircase.

Inside there were three zombies. I tried to shoot but I was out of ammo.

"Oh god, my ammo is gone!" I said.

The other group members formed a circle around me and shot at the zombies eventually killing them. They decapitated two but the other had to be incinerated. We entered what appeared to be a sitting room. Inside were a Double-Action Shotgun and three boxes of shells. I checked to make sure the gun was already loaded it was.

We walked out of the room and Keith was tackled to the ground. What it was I wasn't sure but I took careful aim and shot. Two good shots got it off Keith and lying in its own pool of blood. I bent down to examine it. It was definitely a Chimera. The scythes on the hands were the giveaway.

"Thanks man I was a goner for sure!" Keith said.\

"No problem," I said, still breathing heavily.

As we made out way further down the hall I could see a strange crimson light. I walked toward it and found a room full of monsters in giant tubes.

"Guys come look at this!" I said.

They were muttering about what it could be. A quiet came over the room as they saw all the monsters. I heard glass crack. The group spun around to see a tube breaking. 'Its just pressure,' I thought, 'the thing in that tank is dead.'

Unfortunately I was wrong. The zombie inside the tube was beating its way out. It finally accomplished its goal. The zombie wasn't the normal rotting flesh. It was red like the hunters we saw. This must be a higher-level zombie. It slashed its claws across Kevin's arm. The gash was deep. The shotgun blew one of the arms off. It lunged at John and bit him. Xavier shot at it with his handgun. The thing wouldn't die! Xavier made for the door and we all followed. After we slammed the door shut we thought we had evaded the menace.

The zombie was beating on the door on the other side. To our dismay it was a success. He burst through and lunged at me. I backed away just in time but his mouth started to nibble at my arm. I shook him off. He fell to the ground. The head was at Xavier's feet. He kicked the head off.

We went into a room in our left entitled Doctor's Quarters.

"OH MY GOD!" I Screamed.
