Chapter Five: What do you do when you get sleepy.... Yawn
It was dark now, maybe about 10 or 11. We had picked up the dead bodies
and buried them in the forest. Crysten was in the small infirmary near
the back of the complex fast asleep. Adam was in the sleeping barracks
of the complex, fast asleep. The pilot wanted to sleep in the
helicopter for some reason but, I don't know why. I was in the computer
lab trying to crack the code on the Umbrella documents. I entered the
word "allerbmu" and got a false password window again.
" God how hard could this be" I said as I began to get very mad at the
stupid computer. I kicked the desk that the computer was on and I heard
something fall from behind the desk. I hoped that it was part of the
computer but it turned out to a small black briefcase. I knelt over and
picked it up. There was also a piece of wood the same color as the desk
laying next to the case. I took a look at the desk and there was a
section of it gone.
A secret compartment. I was thinking about waking Adam up but decided
not to. I didn't know him that well and I thought that he might be
lying to me. I opened the briefcase and took a look inside. There were
some papers and graphs ranging from combat analyses of some strange
B.O.W.s ( Bio-Organic-Weaponry) to employee backgrounds.
I discarded the unnecessary papers and kept the B.O.W. reports and
5-page list of other Umbrella facilities across the U.S. and the world.
I sat back down at the desk that I had been at and looked through the
papers that I kept. I came across the giant snake that had attacked and
killed everyone but Crysten. Its proper name was "Yawn". It was
genetically engineered with a modified T-Virus.
There were also some other creatures that I had ran across in my
journey along the highway and in the diner like crows, Cerberuses
(zombie dogs), and that strange blue creature that attacked me. Its
code name was "Cold Wind" and it was regarded as a large threat to
anyone it saw. There wasn't much else on it.
I then got to the list of Umbrella facilities and began looking through
the names. I found the base that I worked at, Rotterdam U.S.A.. There
were a couple of bases with lines crossing them out like Raccoon City,
Rockfort Island, and a base that sounded strangely familiar named
Veranda even though it wasn't even in the U.S. I guess that means they
were destroyed. I was getting very sleepy and I was probably going to
have a big day tomorrow and wanted to go to sleep. I got all the
documents that I needed so there wasn't anything stopping me. I got up
and stuffed the papers that I was going to keep in my pocket and
wandered around the complex until I found the sleeping barracks. I got
in a bed and went to sleep.
" Matt, wake up" Adam said shaking me.
" No let me sleep, its not like we have to leave or anything" I replied in vain
" Actually, we do have to leave."
" Why?"
" Crysten told me of a city not far from here that she got a radio
transmission from a few hours before that snake attacked"
"Whatever" I replied. I got up out of bed and began walking toward the
entrance to the base. I turned to see Crysten limping toward the
entrance also. She was cleaned up but, still wearing the same torn up,
bloody clothes. I stopped to wait for her.
" Uh... do you need any help?" I said to her.
" No, I'm fine. Uh...listen thanks for getting the serum for me. I
would have died without it." She replied.
" Looks like Adam patched your wound up." I said trying to start a
conversation.
" Uh...yeah. I'm glad Adam was here when we found the base." She said.
( Wait a minute.... Adam said he found this base with Crysten and them.
Yeah he did. I thought back to when he said " I used to work for
Umbrella and when our base was attacked we fled.")
" Well I guess we better get to the helicopter." Crysten said
interrupting me from my thought.
" Uh..... yeah I'm going to wait for Adam." I said. She nodded her head
and walked around the corner. As if on cue Adam round the corner
carrying his guns. He stopped and saw me staring at him.
" What?" I said to me.
" Crysten said that they found you at this base." I confronted him.
" I don't know what your talking about." He replied.
" Yes you do, don't lie." I said trying to get him to admit it.
" Uh..... listen lets just go" He said and walked past me. I knew he
was lying to me but probably won't admit it any time soon.
( Just forget it) I thought to myself. I rounded the corner and walked
up the stairs and to the open clearing outside. I took in a big breath
of fresh air and noticed how bight it was. It took a few minutes for my
eyes to adjust to the bright setting. I took a look around to find
everybody. Adam was reliving himself in the woods, Crysten was still
walking to the helicopter, and the pilot was stepping out of the copter.
Adam got done and began to walk to the helicopter. Suddenly, the
pilot ran from the helicopter and began screaming.
" The snake is back!! RUN!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs.
Crysten turned and began to run as fast as she could toward the base
entrance. Suddenly, the gigantic Yawn emerged from is forest hiding
place. Its smooth green skin shone brightly in the summer sun, almost
to the point where you had cover your eyes to look at it. As the Yawn
got closer the shiny glare disappeared and showed the snake's true form.
It was around 15 feet up in the air and at least 40 feet long. The
snakes eyes were that of a cat but yellow. The snake gained on the
pilot who ,weaponless, didn't stand a chance. By now Crysten had
reached the base's entrance and ran inside. I looked back at the
pilot. The snake was only about five feet behind the pilot. Suddenly,
the Yawn reached down and picked up the pilot, half of him disappeared
in the snakes gigantic mouth. The pilot started kicking and screaming
in vain trying to escape.
Then the pilot's body went limb, probably the poison kicking in. The
Yawn then swallowed the pilot whole. Then the snake turned its eyes
toward us. I unstraped my shotgun, Adam doing the same with his grenade
launcher. The snake began moving towards us. It got about 50 feet away
when Adam fired a grenade from his launcher at the Yawn. It hit the
Yawn in the lower part of it near the ground but, the grenade didn't
even make the Yawn flinch. Adam loaded another grenade in his gun and
fired again. The Yawn was nearly 24 feet away when it struck him but,
exactly like last time the Yawn didn't flinch. Adam threw his grenade
launcher down on the ground probably because it was out of ammo or
something like that.
The snake got ever closer. Adam pulled out his silver magnum and
pointed it at the snake. Bam!! The magnum fired hitting the Yawn in the
chin but didn't even break the snake's thick scales. Before Adam could
react the Yawn was right on top of him ready to strike. The Yawn's
mouth opened and revealed two bloody 4 foot long fangs. I fired three
shotgun shells at the Yawn's mouth. It turned its head towards me.
That distraction allowed Adam to escape from in front of the Yawn. The
Yawn suddenly turned back to where it's prey had been. It turned around
and saw Adam running away. The Yawn flicked it's muscular tale and hit
Adam, sending him flying across the clearing. I didn't know if he was
still alive but, right now all I cared about was me. The Yawn turned it's
head back at me. I unloaded another shell into its face and it reacted
by attempting to bite me. I got off one more shotgun shell before
diving to the left.
The Yawn got nothing but a mouth full of dirt. It began to chough up
the dirt that it had swallowed. I took the opportunity and fired at
the head of the creature. The sound of an empty shotgun radiated
through my ears. That was a very bad sound if you had a shotgun. One of
the only bad things about a shotgun is the long reload time. I reached
in my pocket and felt for the box of shot gun shells that I got at the
diner. I grabbed three shells but by this time the Yawn was done
regurgitating and charged for me.
I dropped the three shells on the ground and ran away from the snake. I
didn't know what to do. The Yawn was right behind me and it would slow
me down if I tried to reload my shotgun. The pistol most likely
wouldn't hurt it. I began running towards the helicopter. Then I
remembered the two fifty caliber guns on it's side. I ran for them. I
jumped up in the helicopter. Twirled around and grabbed the gun. I
began firing at the Yawn. Bullet wounds started to appear on the
creature. Black dark blood began to pour out of it wounds. Suddenly, a
few feet before it got the helicopter the Yawn fell over and apparently
died.
It was dark now, maybe about 10 or 11. We had picked up the dead bodies
and buried them in the forest. Crysten was in the small infirmary near
the back of the complex fast asleep. Adam was in the sleeping barracks
