After we got away from the snake hunters, Wesker led us to a room. It was outside near the upper atrium. It was a chapel. Just a small one for the staff and students nothing special, but Amber had been raised a Catholic, so she wanted to pray.
"What for?" Wesker asked. "For all the people who died today. For the part of me that died today." She said shakily.
I went with her into the chapel, while Wesker and Kevin found the exit that was in the layout. She got down on her knees in front of the Crucifix on the main wall. I leaned against one of the pews and lit a cigarette.
"So you believe in God and genesis and all that crap?" I asked. "Yeah. I do" she replied.
She sounded exhausted. I didn't blame her. "Why?" "I don't know. It's good to have someone to turn to." Heh, yeah whatever." I said. I had never believed in anything, being a scientist and if this trip had taught me any thing about faith, it was that there was no God, no anything up there and if there was, it didn't like me. Before Amber put her hands together in prayer, she tucked a gun between her hands.
The sight was almost comical but at the same time it had a mystical quality to it too. I stood there, absolutely enthralled by the image. An angel with a gun. Then a shadow loomed over her.
I could barely make out the shape of it. The Rival, wounded and angry, walked forward. It raised a clawed hand above it's head to strike. Almost instantly, Amber jerked around, gun in hand and fired!

The gun was not loaded. The dry click resounded louder then any sound I have ever heard.

The Rival sank it's claw into her abdomen and held her up. She was impaled straight through her stomach. I was about to run towards her and rip the Rival to pieces when I felt hands grab me from behind. Thinking it was the Horde I began to struggle. Kevin's voice shouted "Stop it, Carrie!" It was him. He started to drag me away.
"No!" I screamed. "No! I have to save her!" He dragged me to a door at the back of the chapel where Wesker was waiting. Kevin slung me over his shoulder like a duffel bag and we ran through the woods at the back of the Institute. All the way to the ocean, all I could hear were Ambers screams.
