Disclaimer: Should I really waste my time? Nah.
A/N: Yay! Chapter 8! Sorry it took me so long, but here is. Enjoy!
Sure enough, an hour later they arrived at Rockfort Island. Claire couldn't remember ever being so nervous or scared in her entire life. Not even in Raccoon was she that scared. She felt as if she would faint from the nausea that she felt in the pit of her stomach.
~Oh man, I can't believe I actually came back to this hellhole. Oh well, I'm here. There's no turning back now. What the bloody hell could be going on here now? Just what is Umbrella up to this time?~
Chris landed the jet in the harrier where the tank was in the military facility and turned off the engine. Luis raised an eyebrow as he looked around, finally seeing for himself how dark and creepy the place really was.
~Oh damn. Now I see why Chris and Claire didn't want to come here. This place looks like the very pits of hell itself.~
They got off the jet and Claire sighed. She hugged herself in a futile attempt to ease the Goosebumps that appeared all over her arms.
"Claire, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm alright Lu. I'm just a little nervous, that's all."
Luis nodded and turned to Chris.
"So, this the infamous Rockfort Island, eh?"
Chris sighed.
"Yep. I'm afraid so."
"Hey Chris, didn't Barry say to contact him once we got to the island? Maybe you should contact him now. He and the others must be worried."
"Yeah, you're right. Good idea, sis."
Chris took out his little radio and turned the dial. After a moment of static, Barry's voice could be heard on the other end.
"Chris, is that you? Where were you? We were all getting worried, man. We were beginning to think that something may have happened to you guys. You really should have called sooner. You had us all scared to shit, man."
"Don't worry, we're fine. We just got to Rockfort right now."
"Which part of Rockfort are you at?"
"We're in the military training facility. It was easiest spot for me to land the jet."
"Great. We're all glad to know you guys got here safely. You remember that creepy house on the hill behind
the palace that was the private residence of the Ashford twins?"
Chris moaned in disgust and rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. What about it?"
"Well, we found a secret little hideout right under the house. That's our new base for now."
"Holy crap! I didn't know there was hideout under the creepy old house! How do we get there?"
"You remember the wall with all those disturbing and creepy looking dolls lined up by the stairs at the main entrance of the house?"
Chris shuddered.
"How could I forget? Claire and I had nightmares about those things for weeks."
"Well, Jill was checking out the dolls and when she pulled one out of the wall, she found a small green button. She had to put the doll back so that no suspicions would arise and unfortunately, I don't know which doll it is. Just take them off one by one and eventually you'll find the button. Press it and a door will slide open revealing a long, narrow path."
"Any forks or turns I should know about?"
"Nah. Its one way. You should have no problems getting there. Be sure to have a lighter with you, though.
There are a lot of bats down there."
Chris smiled.
"Thanks Barry. We'll be there in a few."
"Alright. I'll go ahead and tell the others that you guys are here."
Chris heard a female voice asking Barry to pass over the radio. After a moment of static, Jill's voice came on line.
"Chris? Chris, are you still there?"
"Hey, what's up Jilly? Long time no see! How are ya?"
"I'm alright. Me and my new friend Carlos just barely made it out of Raccoon city alive."
"Yeah, they nuked the place, right?"
"Yeah. The government said it was to prevent the virus from spreading beyond the city. Carlos and I made it with only seconds to spare."
"Damn, that sucks."
"Don't I know. I'll tell you everything when you guys get here. I can't to meet your sister."
"Didn't Barry tell you? Lu's with us too."
"You're kidding! Wow, I haven't seen in ages. Well, hurry up and get over here before you're spotted."
"Will do. See you guys later."
Chris turned the radio off and turned to his companions.
"There's a hideout under the Ashford's private residence. Claire, I can't seem to remember how to get there for some reason. Do you?"
Claire cringed and nodded.
"Vividly."
"Private residence? What do you mean?"
Claire sighed.
"The private house of the Ashford twins. The mansion/palace was nothing but a cover up to hide it from people because Alfred wanted to keep Alexia all to himself. They were the sickest pair of siblings I've ever seen."
Luis nodded in Understanding.
"She ain't kidding, Lu. The term 'a few screws loose' is a major understatement. Those two were seriously deranged. Alexia was one who created the T-Veronica virus. Not to mention that they also performed horrible experiments on their own father."
Luis' jaw dropped.
"What?! You have to be kidding me!"
"I wish I could say that I was buddy. Believe me, I do. Anyway, let's get going. I don't exactly want to be standing around here should something decide to come and attack us."
Luis nodded his agreement.
"Well, I can definitely see why you two didn't want to come back here. This place is starting to creep me out."
Chris scoffed.
"You ain't seen nothing yet, Lu. Just wait til you see the private residence. If you're crept out now, then you're really gonna be scared to shit when we get there. Trust me, it's not a pretty sight."
Claire sighed. She looked on toward the path that led to the palace grounds and shuddered.
~Well it's now or never, I guess. I wonder what kind of monstrous atrocities we'll come across this time.~
She was taken out of her thoughts when a hand placed itself on her shoulder.
"Well sis, we better go."
Claire bit her bit and nodded.
"Yeah, let's go."
"We better hurry. Looks like it might rain soon."
Chris smirked.
"It always looks like it's gonna rain here, Lu. Comes with the territory, I guess."
They chuckled at the remark and after a moment's hesitation, they made their way towards the gate.
A/N: Ah, Rockfort at last. What new surprises await? You'll find out soon enough. R/R.
