Bryan shoved the door open. The bright lights lit up a small portion of the woods.

As Jill stepped into the large mansion, all of the memories came back to her. The

memories that haunted her dreams every night. A sudden image of the zombies

flashed through her mind and she closed her eyes, hoping it would go away. When

Bryan slammed the door shut behind them, her eyes shot open. She watched as

he made his way to another door near the long dining room table in front of them.

He pulled it open and reached for a flashlight that hung near the door. "Where is

he taking us," Jill thought. Just the thought of it sent chills down her back. Bryan

suddenly grabbed Jill by the arm and shoved her and Chris toward the door. She

looked down the stairs, afraid of what she would find. "Start walking!" Bryan yelled

angrily. She held on to Chris and slowly began to make her way down the cold

cement steps. She could hear water dripping in the distance. Still making his

way down the stairs, Bryan flipped the switch on his flashlight. A bright circle of

light lit up the basement. Jill stopped halfway down the stairs when she saw a

jail cell at the far end of the basement. "Keep moving!" Bryan yelled. Jill walked

down the rest of the steps and headed toward the jail cell. Bryan dug into his

pocket and pulled a key out. He stuck the key in the lock and pulled the door

open. He looked over at Jill, a wide grin spread across his face. "Why are you

doing this," Jill managed to say. "Now, now Jill. Don't worry. It'll all be over soon,"

Bryan said, catching Chris' look of anger. Both Jill and Chris walked into the small

jail cell, hearing the door slam shut behind them. Once he locked the door he

shoved the key back into his pocket. "Umbrella always wins Jill. Remember that,"

he said, his eyes burning into hers. He turned and walked back up the stairs,

closing the door behind him. Jill stared into the darkness. She could hardly make

out Chris' face. Chris sat down on the cold cement floor, holding his injured knee

up to his chest. "We're never gonna get out of here Chris," Jill muttered. She

walked over by his side and sat down next to him. "Look, we may be stuck in

here now, but I promise you I'm gonna get rid of this Corporation once and for

all," Chris said softly. He pulled her close to him, feeling her head rest against

his shoulder. "They're gonna pay," Chris thought. "They're gonna pay for all

the innocent lives they took."

Claire and Leon walked through the dark woods, holding their guns close to

them. Branches cracked under their feet as they walked up the hill once again.

Leon looked up and noticed the serious expression on her face. She was

determined to find her brother, even if it meant risking her own life. Leon admired

her courage. Even after witnessing the incidents in raccoon city, she managed

to keep herself together. Leon looked away, trying not to stare at her too much.

Claire glanced at Leon, still holding her gun close to her. The moonlight made

his face appear a pale blue color. He suddenly grabbed her arm, catching her

by surprise. "Whats wrong?" Claire said, studying his face. "Look over there,"

Leon said, pointing at the mansion in front of them. When Claire saw the man-

sion, she immediately knew her brother was in there. "This is it," Claire said,

keeping her eyes on the mansion. "This is where Chris and Jill are being kept."

Leon turned to her. "We need to be careful in there," he said softly. Claire didn't

say a word. She began walking with Leon close behind her. Claire stopped

when she reached the edge of the cliff. The cracking of the twigs under their

feet silenced but there was still cracking noises coming from somewhere else.

The sound was coming from right behind them and getting closer. Leon quickly

spun around, pointing his gun in front of him. Claire's heart nearly burst out of

her chest when she saw the dogs standing a few feet away from them. She

jumped when the bloodhounds began to growl, their sharp teeth warning them

to stay away. Leon grabbed Claire's arm, dragging her behind him as he ran

down the hill beside the cliff. Claire barely had time to look back. They ran as

fast as they could, hearing the dogs close behind them. Claire kept running

until she realized where Leon was heading. As soon as they got to the front

door, Leon quickly turned the door knob, but to his surprise, the door didn't

open. A terrified moan escaped Claire's throat as she watched the dogs

get closer. Leon rammed his shoulder against the door and it swung open.

Leon pulled Claire inside with him and closed the door, making sure it was

securely locked. Claire could hear the dogs angrily jumping at the door. She

stood there, trying to catch her breath. She then realized her legs were

trembling. Leon walked over by Claire's side and put his arm around her

shoulders. "You okay," he asked, out of breath. She looked up at him, feeling

his hot breath on her shoulder. "I'm fine," she responded. Leon stared at the

long dining room table in front of him. "This place is huge," Leon thought.

"I don't even know where to start." He took his arm off of Claire's shoulders

and walked over by the table only to find Bryan standing in front of him. Leon

backed away from him, watching as he pointed the gun at his chest. "I see

you've managed to stay alive," he said, noticing Claire's horrified expression.

"Where are they Bryan?" Leon asked. Bryan ignored his question. He

slowly walked towards Leon, still holding his gun in front of him. "I should've

killed you when I had the chance," he said angrily. Claire jumped up when

she heard the gun go off. Her eyes widened when she saw Leon hit the floor

hard. She ran towards Leon but Bryan grabbed her by the arm and spun her

around. "You're coming with me," he said, a grin spreading across his face.
