i Note: Chapter's kinda short but it gives you a lot of "insight" on
Samantha if you look hard enough. If you don't figure it out now you
probably will in later chapters. /i
Samantha woke up at the sound of the scream, thrashing in the dark. She turned over on her side and tried to see, her eyes not yet adjusted to the dark. "Hello?"
Suddenly the lights flicked on and Samantha put an arm over her eyes. "You're awake."
It was Julie. "Oh my God. I was so scared. Where are we?"
"We're at the hospital. It's late... around seven. Brian... he's sick."
"What's wrong with him?" Samantha asked, still blocking her eyes.
"I don't know. He said something about a vaccine and then passed out."
Samantha immediately clicked on at the sound of vaccine. She got up and looked around. She was in a waiting room. Brian was lying only a few feet away with blankets wrapped around him. Though she still had a bewildered look on her face, she smiled inside.
"We're at the hospital? The vaccine's here. Julie," she said, kneeling down beside the little girl, "I need you to stay here with Brian while I go look for the vaccine, okay?"
She hesitated, "Uh, yeah, okay."
Samantha put on a smile, "Thanks. I'll be back soon. Don't go anywhere."
Before Julie could say anything else, Samantha darted out the door with the Beretta snuggly put away in her pocket. She couldn't remember when but she must've snuck it in there sometime. Samantha suddenly remembered memory loss and confusion were some other side effects. But inside she could feel something, a new feeling. "I'm mutating," she said, sounding delirious.
Samantha stopped and looked around in the dimly lit hallway. A sign read "Laboritories" and an arrow pointed down a branching hallway with a red door at the end. "Perfect."
When she opened the door Samantha was struck by a terrible smell. Recognizeably the smell of the dead. She pulled out her Beretta and began walking more cautiously. Nothing was easy, there was always going to be some obstacle in the way. A man popped out from the dark with a needle in his hand. A sick grin played on his face. The grin of an insane person. "Why hello. Welcome to my humble home."
"Who the hell are you?"
"Must we use such language, darling? Please, find a seat and we can talk about what troubles you."
"I'm not you're darling. I'm looking for the vaccine - do you know where it is?"
"Oh, this?" he asked, shaking the needle in his hand. "This is the last sample."
Samantha's eyes glowed with envy, "Give it to me! I want it - it's mine!"
"Now, now dear Samantha, you must not be so harsh to your host."
Samantha aimed the gun at him, "How do you know my name?"
"I've been watching you sleep. Your friends talk about you. They're going to betray you. And when I saw you take that gun for yourself I knew you were just like me. We're one of a kind. We don't need anyone else but ourselves. Friendship doesn't exist because you can't trust anyone. Soon you'll be like me. You're changing now, right before my eyes." the man let out a terrible shriek of laughter.
"God... you're insane."
"Insane?" he screamed, suddenly angry, "Me, Alan Jeremy Victor III the greatest scientist of Umbrella, insane? I think not. I'm far from insane. In fact, I've never been more sane in my life. Get out. You can't have this vaccine. It's mine. Mine. All mine!"
"Give the goddamn vaccine to me." she said, loading the gun.
"You want it? Here!"
The men threw the needle and Samantha dived to the floor, catching it. She sighed and smiled crazily. She got up and whirled around, looking for the man. She wanted to watch him die. But he wasn't there. She looked around a moment longer and then ran, leaving the laboritories.
