Flames are not welcome. Praise and intelligent criticism only. And yes, I know my grammar skills are horrid, I put commas in weird places, sometimes forget periods, have lots of run-on sentences, and have some choppy sentences. Your criticism need not include that. The only thing © to me is Eris Roman. Everything else is © to Capcom.
--------------------
Eris Roman was not any kind of heroine. She hid in an office as the screams of the dying and the moans of the undead filled the air. Eris was a rookie, fresh from the academy, it was her first week at the Raccoon Police Department.
I should be out there. I should be helping...
But instead of acting on her thoughts Eris continued to hide, clutching her Beretta and hoping that no one would stumble upon her hiding place. The woman was really starting to wonder how she ever made it through the academy. She didn't think she could bring herself to shoot an undead since they were human once...
The screams were starting to die down now. Everyone was dead or dying. Eris let out a long breath and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She stood and swept her long red hair back into a ponytail, securing it with an elastic band. Eris really didn't want to go out there. But if she wanted to get out of the city she had to leave the office some time. Gathering what was left of her courage Eris walked to the door and pushed it open. The police station was eerily quiet now.
Gotta move fast. It won't be long before everyone is 'alive' again...
She took a quick look around before fully emerging from the office. Blood was splattered on the carpet here and there, but there was no sign of any bodies. Eris swallowed hard before continuing on her way. She was almost at the end of the hallway when someone stumbled around the corner. The woman took a step back, aiming her Beretta at the figure. The man who had stumbled around the corner had a huge bloody bite mark on his arm. He looked up at Eris pleadingly.
"You...what's your name? Erin? Erica? Please...help me..."
Well he (sort of) knew her, but Eris had no idea who this guy was. He took a shaky step forward and Eris backed up again.
"Please..."
"Don't get any closer." Eris replied. "I can't help you now. You're infected."
"No, it's someone else's blood." The officer replied.
"I can see the teeth marks. You've been bitten."
"N-no I haven't..."
He tried to wipe the blood from his arm but the wound kept pumping more out.
"I don't want to shoot you and I won't if you turn around right now and head back the way you came." Eris said.
"I have a family." The officer pleaded, stepping forward again.
"So do I." Eris stepped back. "And if they're still alive I'm getting them and me the hell out of the city."
"Bitch why won't you help me!?" The man suddenly exploded, lunging at Eris.
Eris fired one shot striking her fellow officer right between the eyes. The man crumpled to the ground inches from her feet. The woman sighed heavily.
It's a horrible thought but if I can shoot an infected human I can shoot a zo... an undead...
Now she had to get out of the police station. Her motorcycle wasn't smart transportation in this situation. She needed a car. Keeping her Beretta unholstered Eris made her way to the police garage.

Short chapter, but all the character introduction chapters will most likely be short. Read and review please.
