CHAPTER 10
Dark to Light
A familiar feeling came over Jill immediately upon infiltrating the facility. It was a feeling that Jill had only experienced a few times before, it was a forewarning. A forewarning to what Jill wasn't exactly sure, all she knew was something was going to happen, something big.
Careful, as they always were, they made their way through the facility.
For Jill with each step that feeling became stronger and stronger. It was a relief when Claire came up to her and whispered.
"Do you have an odd feeling about this?"
Jill nodded vigorously.
"I think this is it," Claire continued to whisper, her body now slightly shaking. "This is where the search is going to end."
Jill didn't respond she was too scared. She had a feeling that it was going to end here too; she was just terrified about HOW it was going to end.
Still problem free the group made it to their planned destination. 'The Power Room,' they figured before they got here that Chris was probably locked up in an electronic cell, the best way of getting him out would be to cut the power.
So that's exactly what they did.
They charged into the room easily taking out the two security guards. It was Carlos who first reached the controls. He slid his hand over the main lever, and looked up at everyone a nervous grin spread across his face.
"Amigos, its party time."
With that said Carlos pushed down the lever, and before a whisper could be spoken darkness had entered the room.
"Come on guys," she whispered to the others leading the way out of the room.
Walking in darkness they risked walking at a faster pace. They were lucky when Rebecca thought she heard something. Stopping everyone strained their ears and listened as a couple of security guards were walking their way.
"What the hell is going on?" One whispered to his comrade.
"I don't know Ted, but Jesus there's got to be something wrong. Like hell these guys would allow the power to go out, not with all the shit they have running."
"You know they were executing someone today?" said the other guard "One of the prisoners that they were doing the testing on."
Jill felt her whole body tense with such a fear and heartache that she couldn't move. It was the worse feeling in the world, and Jill had felt the most heinous. Thank god her ears were still working or she would have misses what the security guard said next.
"What time was that suppose to happen?"
"Right around now actually, that is if they got it off before the power went off."
Jill was about to attack the two guards forcing them to tell her where they were keeping Chris, but somebody beat her to it.
Carlos had charged the guards knocking one of them unconscious, and the other pinned to the wall.
"Where is that execution happening?!" He yelled at the guard his voice sounded frightening dangerous.
"Why would.I know?" The security guard answered struggling with each word as Carlos had his hands around the guard's neck.
"Because if you don't know I'm going to kill you right here and right now." said Carlos stabbing his assault rifle into the guard's chest.
To this the guard answered. "Down the hall and the first double doors to the left."
Carlos let the guard go, but not after punching him smack dab in the face. As soon as the body hit the floor Carlos turns to her.
"Let's go get him."
None of them even got the chance to take a step, because at that moment they could hear a swarm of guards filling the dark area. To prove this shots from an assortment of guns started being fired.
As they all dodged the bullets Jill could hear Carlos yell at her.
"Jill, you Barry and Claire go ahead; the rest of us will cover you!"
"You won't be able to handle all of them!" She yelled back.
"Don't worry about us," came the sound of Rebecca's high pitched voice "You guys just go get Chris. We'll meet back with you guys in no time."
Jill nodded to them, even though she knew that neither could see her.
She felt for the antidote Rebecca had given to her making sure she still had it. Once that was confirmed she waited for Claire and Barry to join her. They were by her side in a matter of seconds.
"Ready ladies?" asked Barry placing a hand on both Jill and Claire's shoulder.
Neither of them answered, without a word the three of them flopped to the floor and started crawling through the gunfire and down the hall.
It wasn't much of a struggle to get to the other side of them room. In the darkness the enemy had no clue that they were crawling right by their feet.
They didn't dare stand up until the double door that the guard had talked about. Jill stood by the doors that the guard had talked about. Jill stood by the doors not making a single move to proceed. She could feel Claire and Barry's anxious eyes on her, but still she couldn't move.
"What are we waiting for?" Claire asked her voice uncharacteristically impatient.
"I'm scared," Jill told her "scared about what were going to find."
"Well the longer we wait the less were going to find." Barry added hastily.
Coming back to reality Jill nodded and opened the door. It was complete darkness, just like the rest of the facility. Jill wouldn't have even known that they had stepped into another room, if it wasn't for the noise.
It sounded like a battle was going on, there was defiantly a struggle happening. Jill just couldn't see what, who, and where the struggle was.
"Chris!" She cried desperately.
There was a response to her call, but it wasn't Chris. A deep, arrogant voice rang out from the dark.
"Jill Valentine, could that be you?"
Just as she heard her name the power came back on. There standing in the very same room was no one other then Albert Wesker.
Jill took a few steps back.
"Wh.what the hell?" She stuttered.
"Why Jill aren't you happy to see me?" Wesker asked her sarcastically. A devilish grin was spreading across his face.
Barry had now come out from behind her. Jill could see him pulling out his python and pointing it at Wesker's head.
"You son-of-a-bitch!" Spat Barry angrily, seconds away from pulling the trigger. Quickly Jill pulled him back causing him to misfire.
"What the hell!" Barry yelled, but Jill ignored him. Instead she turned back to Wesker.
"Where's Chris!" She yelled at him.
"What don't you recognize him?" Wesker asked trying to sound surprised, he then pointed to the corner. "He's right there."
Jill hadn't even noticed it until that moment. In a heap in the far right corner of the room laid a large monstrous blue body.
"No." She said firmly, not able believing it.
"Oh, I'm afraid so Jill. That thing in the corner is your dear old Chris, or at least it use to be."
As Wesker gave out a horrible laugh Claire started to run to the corner.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you miss Redfield," said Wesker stopping Claire dead in her tracks. "I just shot him with a tranquilizer, but it won't last much longer. And believe me you don't want to be around when he gets up."
"Can I shoot him now?" Barry asked her impatiently.
"Go ahead Barry," Wesker said smugly. "But trust me it won't do you an ounce of good."
"He's right Barry, remember he's not what he use to be," Claire spoke her voice trembling. "He's a monster now."
"That's the monster!" Wesker shouted angrily pointed towards the corner where the body lied.
"No." Jill said again. "I don't, I won't believe it."
"You can believe what you want Jill that's' not my concern. My only concern at the moment is getting rid of the beast before it wakes up."
As Wesker turned his back on them Claire went against her own advice and ran full force toward Wesker. Jill watched in horror as Wesker, faster then she ever seen any human being move before, turned around giving Claire a swift kick in the chest.
She watched paralyzed as Claire's body flew across the room hitting the opposite wall with force, then falling unconsciously to the floor.
Wesker just smirked before turning back around. It was defiantly a surprise when he did. There standing in full force was Chris; Jill had no doubt now that it was him. Even in his monster form his steel icy blue eyes could be seen a mile away.
Wesker was fast enough to move out of Chris' way, but Barry was not. With the force of a gorilla Chris threw Barry across the room, his body landing not too far from Claire's.
Now it was just her and Chris. Tears started to well in her eyes. This was just too cruel. Here they were together, but they mind as well have been worlds apart. Chris seemed to have no recognition that it was her as he ran towards her angrily.
In one last desperate attempt Jill called out to him.
"Chris please, it's me Jill!"
Her words were useless, Chris pursuit never slowed. Helplessly Jill stood there firmly never taking her eyes of Chris'. If this was the way she was going to go, at least she be staring up at his steel blue eyes.
Jill braced herself as Chris lifted his claw into the air, winding it up for the attack. The attack which never came.
Mid-air Chris' arm stopped. Jill stayed staring at Chris eyes as the life that she grown to love so dearly crawled back into them.
AUTHORS NOTE:
Well one more chapter. At least Jill and Chris are finally together. Like to thank all those again who have stayed with the story this far.
