Chapter 3 Demons

The cold irons bars taunted him. The designs of old, unfazed by time awaited his touch. He finally mustered up his courage and pushed the iron gates of the elevator open. They creaked in protest but finally lost the battle. Leon stood in the old shaft, waiting for it to snap or something as he touched the button numbered L1. Surprisingly not such thing happened and it slowly moved down. As it gradually made its progress towards the new destination Leon wondered what new maze of tunnels umbrella had made for this place. Then it struck him. Trent had given him a map!

"Wake up Kennedy," He muttered angrily to himself as he pulled out the old yellow papers. "Stupid, stupid mistake." He cursed himself for letting simple things pass him by. Mistakes such as this could cost him his life very easily in a place like this. He pushed aside the thought of death and stressed over what Trent had told him what seemed so very long ago.

//FLASHBACK: The black-coated Mr. Trent finished introducing himself to Mr. Kennedy. Leon didn't bother drawing his father's gun on the man; it would have been useless. He found it quite annoying how the man could twist situations, and no matter what he could never lose. Even if he died it seemed he would win in some warped way.

"Now Mr. Kennedy, to get strictly down to business," His smiling never fading from his face. Leon remained quiet. Trent pulled out a small pack of papers, very old papers. Leon was hoping for some palm pocket or something new, no he got the paperwork. How did this not surprise him?

"These are the maps for the complex. There are 3 levels of labs. What you are to do is find the 6 computers within this place and put the data on this disc." Trent said smoothly as he pulled out the black little floppy. Leon took it and placed it in his pocket. The wind pulled up and seemed to howl as a warning, but Leon's attention did not fail.

"Hmm, seems this weather is not going to fair well in the days to come." Trent said still smiling as he looked at the indigo sky. As Trent let his eyes meet Leon's they twinkled with joy as they always did, Leon suddenly felt sick.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Leon finally said, his face emotionless.

"O yes, we still need to cover that don't we?" Trent sighed. "Well, the important thing is to get the data. Nothing more, this is all in the interest of you really Mr. Kennedy." Leon remained impassive.

"What will I be running into?" Trent continued to smile. "Well I'm sorry to say, but I do not know. Umbrella always has something up their sleeve, so there are no guaranties. Just always on your guard as usual Mr. Kennedy. I doubt you will have.too many serious situations to deal with." Too many problems? Leon stared at him a little longer.

"Well Mr. Kennedy this seems as my parting note, it is time for me to leave. I suggest you go over those maps and leave for the labs ASAP. Goodbye Mr. Kennedy." With that Trent turned away and disappeared into the dark. //

Leon sighed; he should have studied the maps more thoroughly, but then again there were many things he should have done different in his life. No time to waste mourning over things you can never change. It left you vulnerable, one of the few things Leon absolutely despised. And with that last thought the elevator ride was over. Warm air overwhelmed him as he pushed open the elevator shaft. The walls of the lab floor 1 were bleak. They were stained with blood, but amazingly the scent of death was not found. The halls were dark, and only a few lamps let their shadows swing upon the walls. He pulled out the magnum that he kept hidden within his belt. He laughed to at himself thinking how much shit was in store for him when Barry found out he took his favorite gun.

As he walked down the forbidden hallway he thought of which way to turn, right again he chose. "God," he murmured to himself as he realized how warm it was on this level. He took of his jacket revealing his plain t- shirt. He contemplated just leaving the thing there, but then waited again. He figured that there should be something he could store it in later. As he continued down the bleak halls there it was, the scent of pure decay, no salvation. He checked the magnum, making sure every bullet was in place. He checked his pack; the bullets lied where they belonged. And as for the medical supplies? Happily placed in their belonging pouch. The hallway became shrouded in gloom and he could barely see a damn thing. "Muhhh" One of deathly moans could be heard as it echoed through the forgotten place. He was ready for this. As he stepped through the hall slowly with the gun close to his leg, he could hear it shuffle across the floor. It was coming closer, but from where was the question. He eyes finally adjusted to the darkness and he realized that it broke of into two hallways. "Muhhhh" It was right behind him. Before he could respond he felt his cold clammy hands touch his bare arm. He yelled as he turned around and fired three times. He lost his footing and crashed into the wall. BANG, the lights flickered on. He not only hit his head on the wall, he hit a switch. Near his feet was his enemy. It lied on its stomach, with 3 bullets through its chest, almost still reaching though it never moved. "O no, not this shit again" Leon stood up over the thing and fired a magnum bullet straight into his head. It made a final moan as its head collapsed in and a pool of blood spread across the floor. Leon let out some air. "Damn," he said as he rubbed his head. Now that the lights were on he tended to the map. Figuring where he had to go would be no problem from here. Funny, Trent didn't give him a map of the lobby, were those rooms not important? Well Trent didn't mention them, so thus they had no importance to him. But...that music... If there was someone in here... No that's impossible, this place was abandoned; maybe it was just some switch that Umbrella set up. They are weird like that. He pushed it aside, hoping it would leave his already troubled mind.

****************************************************************

On his way to the first of the computers he had only ran into 2 other zombies, and an old friend from Raccoon, the repulsive licker. He had taken care of them easily enough with the magnum, and was happy that he had taken the gun. He loaded the magnum once again as he stepped over the carcass. As he moved along the hallway he heard scratching. Not a zombie, maybe a licker? No, the claws larger sounding, this thing was big. He had heard it before, some noise that he tried blocking from his memory. Leon heard it moved closer, was it in one of the rooms? Those claws, that breathing. "No..." He whispered as his eyes widened with the thought. CRASH! The door to the front and left of him came crashing into the wall. A green abomination known as the Hunter walked into the hallway. Leon's fears were true. Those eyes, pure evil. "HOLY SHIT!" Leon shouted as he raised his gun. The beast screamed its horrible cry, as Leon aimed. "The EYES! The eyes!!!" Leon thought to himself. Two shots one hit the left eye, blood burst from the wound. It screamed over Leon's curses. It screamed even louder and hit one of the walls in its fury. Then as Leon went to hit the right eye but his left claw came flying down. Leon tried to run back, anywhere just out of the way. It came flying down towards his head, Leon moved to the right and back; flinging himself to the ground. The hunter caught his arm. Leon screamed the horrible pain the surged throughout his entire left limb. Blood poured onto the concrete; his hand automatically went to stop the bleeding. No time, the Hunter was obviously ready for jumping in screamed as he ready. CRASH! The other door, to the front and right of him came open. It still remained on its hinges. Then something came out of the door. A woman she jumped out facing the Hunter. She stood in front of Leon holding a shotgun and fired once. She threw the shotgun into the other room as she pulled something from her belt. Leon looked at her in awe. Was she an angel, a guardian, or savior? Did it matter? She stood there as the monster came walking up. The walls shuddered from its size. Leon then heard the click of a pin and she threw something, a grenade?! The monster screamed and was cut short by something. She looked back and grabbed Leon pushing him around the corner and then hard against the wall. Leon let out a cry of pain that he felt through his arm, and his vision was blurry. BAM!!!!!!!! There was a terrible explosion that echoed throughout the halls. Blood splattered everywhere and a thunderous crash of the beast was heard from down the hall. His vision became a little more focus. The woman removed herself from sheltering him from the attack and he saw he gorgeous chestnut eyes. Her hair was in her face, and she seemed to have no emotion whatsoever. He was going to say something but nothing could come. She was searching that damn pack again for something and she came up with her prize. A SYRINGE?! "Wait what???" Leon cried as she squirted a little into the air. He went to get the needle from her grasp but she pushed down his good hand, and looked at his limp arm. The gun? Where was that damn magnum? It lay across the floor just if he could reach it. Damn she was strong. "NO! WAIT" He screamed as she put the fluid into his body. Once again everything went blurry and all that remained fixated in his mind was the chestnut eyes of that demon.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I bet none of ya were expecting that? So who is this demon of ours? And what is up with the syringe? Could it be...SATAN?! Sorry too much church lady from SNL for me. And is our hero Leon.CONTAMINATED?!?!?! Hmmmmm all these questions soon to be answered. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm not very good with writing action, its my first time please be merciful.
