===Harvest Moon: Resident Evil===

Chapter Eighteen: The Showdown

"Damn it," Danny muttered. "We forgot to take out Ruby!"

"What now?" Carter asked.

"Nothing," Danny said.

"We need to take care of these zombies!" Grant stuttered, gripping his shotgun with sweaty hands.

"We can take 'em!" Carter said. "Fire!"

Shotgun shells filled the air. Kassey and Ruby fell to the ground, Kassey losing a leg from the knee down.

Sebastian, however, was a bigger problem. He leapt from the roof and fell atop Grant, who dropped his shotgun before Sebastian even touched him.

"NO! HELP ME!" he squealed.

Carter aimed his shotgun at Sebastian's head, but at that moment, Vesta burst from the door and jumped at him.

"Carter, look out!" shrieked Flora.

Carter was tackled to the ground. Danny tried to help him and Grant, but was soon grabbed by Ruby. Kassey was still on the ground, looking at his knee stub like a piece of smelly garbage.

Flora and Samantha were the only ones standing, and they had no shotguns.

"We have to run!" Samantha shouted.

"But what about Danny? Carter? Grant?! We can't leave them!"

"They're already dead!" Samantha turned and ran.

"How can you leave your own husband to die!?! Bitch!" Flora shouted after her. Turning, she quickly grabbed a shotgun.

"Hey, asshole!" she shouted at Sebastian. The old zombie turned his head and grunted. Then his head went flying.

"Quickly, Grant," Flora said, passing him his shotgun. "Get Danny, while I'll save Carter."

Danny hadn't fallen, for Ruby had grabbed onto his back and held tightly. Gripping his shotgun, Danny tried to get a good look at Ruby, then rammed her head with the shotgun butt. Ruby fell, looking like she had a mere headache. Grant ran over and saw him standing by himself.

"Ah, so you saved yourself, I see!" Grant shouted with fright. "Then that means- Agh!"

Ruby had grabbed Grant's leg and pulled him downwards. The frightened asian fell screaming. Ruby snarled, and opened her mouth to feast on Grant's leg.

Meanwhile, Carter wasn't having much fun with Vesta. The crimson head lowered her head to bite, but Carter fought her off every time.

But now Vesta was mad. She was pissed. She wanted to bite him, just one bite! Finally, when she could take no more, she whacked Carter on the face, knocking him unconcious.

"Carter!!" Flora shouted, seeing blood flow from her husband's mouth. "You bitch! Die! Die!"

Blasting Vesta with all the ammunition left in the shotgun, Flora shot Vesta in a rage. "You better not have killed him!!"

Grant was being dragged across the ground. Still screaming, he threw his arms around in agony as though it were the apocalypse.

"Save me! Save me!" he shouted.

"Stop moving!" Danny shouted. "I can't grab on!"

Ruby then raised Grant onto her shoulders. Having dragged him all the way to the site where Kassey and Patrick once lived, she heaved with all her might, throwing Grant against the wall marking the territory and ceasing his screams.

Danny raised his shotgun at the exhausted Ruby, and blasted her head. She fell with her head in several pieces after a few seconds.

Vesta was on the ground, being full of holes because of Flora's anger. Looking up at the woman, Vesta snarled, then leapt up into the air.

"Danny, look out!" Flora called.

Danny dived just in time. Vesta fell atop Ruby's body. Finding it a suitable replacement for Danny, she began her feast.

Danny ran over to Flora, looking at Carter's limp form.

"Is he alright?"

"I think he's just knocked out... we have to get him to the dig site!" Flora said.

Just then, Kassey crawled across the ground towards them and hopped onto Carter.

"No! Get him off!" Flora shrieked, beating Kassey with the shotgun. Danny raised his and blew off Kassey's head, easy as that.

"Was that everyone?" Flora panted. "Aside from that... bitch, Vesta?"

"Yes," Danny sighed. "We need to hurry."

Danny grabbed Carter's arms, and Flora his legs. They then made way towards the bridge to get to the Dig Site.

Samantha lay panting against the wall of Vesta's farm house. She didn't care of the giant hole in the wall, she just needed a rest.

Looking around, she felt something. Something else was coming...

Just then, a raindrop hit her head. Looking up, she saw the cloudy sky.

"Ah, shit," she muttered. "A rainy night."

A loud roar then pierced the night as thunder boomed a distance away. Samantha sat up. What the hell was that?

It didn't sound like a zombie. It sounded different...

Looking around, she heard it again, but couldn't find out where it came from.

"What the hell?" she said aloud. "Who's there?!"

She then heard the sound of rapid footsteps, coming from something on all fours, rushing at her. Turning, she screamed, and everything went black.
