My own Resident Evil Story.

2. - The dusk of the dead.

I already realized that the shortest way to get to my house would be going thru the railroads heading to the houses area following the streets to S. Bowen St. Ken Pratt boulevard was blocked by crashed cars and some dead bodies. I had found some Zombies on the way. I dodged some. But I was trapped by one of them. I just took the three last bullets of the clip shooting at the head. After that, I swiped the release button letting the falling clip crash against the ground as I slapped a fresh clip with fifteen bullets. With the other clip I had a total of thirty bullets.

I continued my way until I got to Missouri St. I turned left heading thru Pratt Pkwy. On my way, there were bodies in the Kanemoto Park. I recognized two of the bodies. One was of a girl called Sarah Miller. She was another freshman from my school. She was kinda cold sometimes, but she was cool though. Her body was covered in blood and her guts were pulverized. Her torso cage was ripped by some kind of powerful claw. Her face was still in pain with blood running on her mouth. She died by a very painful way, Very slowly. The second one was Jessie Hawkins. He was also another freshman of my school. We just talked once about Yu-Gi-Oh! He had a big shape, but he was kinda dull. He was still a good guy from the point of view. Some of his clothes were ripped and most of his body was pecked by powerful little holes. Some of them were still bleeding. His eyes were poked out by the same holes. Whatever who did this, made them suffer for a long time. I kept a minute of silence and I turned to the road heading to my house.

I was in front of Burlington Elementary. The crystal gates were crashed and some had blood. Some little kids from the Karate class were dead. Their shoulders were chewed and their faces deformed beyond recognition. I was about to turn and resume my walk, when I heard a familiar scream. "HA! HELP ME!" I turned to the gate as I realized the voice. "Casey!!!"

Did Casey really survive the Mall to find refuge inside of the elementary school? Whatever happened, she needed help. And fast.

I rushed to the gate as I stepped inside. Only the emergency lights were revealing the contents of the darkness, some dead teacher and students. Also there were some dead dogs from the Fire department. I rushed thru the halls calling Casey. After wandering in the building for two minutes, she appeared running from something. Something was indeed chasing... Hunting her. "Casey!" She turned to me as she ran as fast as she could. "There's a monster chasing me! Help!" She was being followed by what looked like a dead Dalmatian. Its flesh was rotten and some chunks were falling off. There were slimy stains of blood from the injuries; its glowing yellow eyes reflected a primitive behavior. It wouldn't stop until it got its prey, this time, Casey. I lifted the handgun still having fifteen bullets in it. I waited until Casey passed me as I squeezed the trigger., bullets hitting the zombie dog's body. But it didn't stopped. I changed my aim for the fast legs. After five shots, the entire body rolled over the ground. It was still alive. Its weak paw pulling the body as I walked close enough to take a straight sot to the head. Before shooting, I replied to the moaning. "Nobody messes with my friends." I pulled the trigger and the dog creature died finally.

I turned to Casey as I asked her for her condition. "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" She turned to me. "I... I'm Ok..." "Good." I helped her to stand up as I asked how she managed to get to the elementary. "So, Casey. How did you manage to get here from the mall?" "Well, after you went to the restroom after playing Dance Dance Revolution, a girl was attacked by one of those creatures. After she was killed, more of those creatures entered creating chaos. I was about to go get you when a police officer, Officer Anderson. Pulled me out for my safety. I escaped with the group, but those creatures attacked us on our way. I escaped and found Sarah and Jessie. We tried to find refuge in the elementary, but we got attacked again. Sarah and Jessie helped me to escape, but they got killed..." Casey's rushed face turned into a sad one. I looked at her as I lowered my head. "I'm sorry..." "It's Ok. They would want me to be strong after this." "Yeah. Of course." She lifted her view to my face as she realized what to do. "Now we need to get out of here." "Sure. But I wanna first check my house. Maybe my mom is still alive." Casey understood the situation. "Ok. I'll follow you. You're the one with the gun." "Yes. You'll need a weapon. We'll take care of that soon." "Let's go."

We got out of the school and turned to the left heading to S. Bross St. We got to the front door of the house, but it was reduced to pieces. Some bloodstains on it. "No!" I rushed screaming calling my mom hoping for her to be Ok. After rushing thru the house, I found her sleeping on the floor of the restroom. I got closer grabbing her shoulders shaking her. "Mom. Wake up." No response... "Mom?" Still no response, There wasn't a response, Only the echo of my voice. "Mom?!? MOM!!!" ... She was dead... I started crying trying not to accept the fact that she was gone. Casey got closer to me. "There was nothing you could do... I'm sorry..." Without turning I asked Casey to do something. "Casey... I'd like to be alone for a minute..." "Sure..." She backed away as I tried to solve my sorrow.

After a few minutes I got to the living room where Casey was waiting for me. She looked at me very concerned. "You feeling better?" "...Yes. She would wanted me to be strong in this situation just like Sarah and Jessie to you." "So where do we go now?" "We're heading to the weapons shop as Ken Pratt Boulevard. Maybe we'll be able to find some weapons and ammo. I just have twenty-two bullets left." "Then let's get going."

We returned to the outside as we kept walking to the weapons store. Now is decided. We're finding more survivors and getting out of the city.
