Chapter Eight
Ruined Plans
"Screw you," Alice said to Isaacs.
Alice moved at an unbelievably fast pace that even the snipers couldn't react to and stood protectively in front of Jill. Isaacs's little cocky smile then turned to a look of panic. Immediately several snipers moved in front of him before Alice could make her move.
"You underestimate me," Alice said smiling.
"Fire!" Isaacs yelled.
LJ and Carlos quickly exited the building as the sound of gunfire went off. Jill stayed behind Alice who was backing them both out of the barn. She noticed Alice taking many bullets to the chest, but they didn't seem to be affecting her that much. She wince every on every other one, but that was it. Within seconds, they were out of the barn and running alongside with Carlos and LJ.
Back in the barn the Umbrella workers were looking to Isaacs for some kind of command. It would take many more than what he had to kill Alice, so it was useless going for her.
"Find them," he instructed. "Kill the other three."
He instructed for two of the Umbrella workers to follow him downstairs to the entrance of the corporation. He had his backup plan ready, since he was almost positive that Alice would kill the men he had sent out.
Meanwhile, Alice was leading the others out of the snipers' range. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see them coming out of the barn and begin firing. She had seconds to decide where to go, before one of them ended up getting shot, and the damn cornfield was the only thing she could see that could save them, so she instructed them to head there. She ran behind everyone to make sure none were hit without her knowing. The bullets in her stomach were getting irritating, but she ignored the pain kept her eye on the others.
As they were running, Jill kept rearing around and firing her Subs, taking out three of the thugs leaving twelve more to go. Jill never missed when it came to firing a gun. She kept this up until she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder. The bastards had hit her in the exact same place Alice had earlier, causing much more pain. She instinctively fired on the person who shot her and killed him.
The group ran into the fields to a point where the snipers couldn't see them and stopped. Alice finally collapsed to the ground from the horrible feeling in her chest. The bullets felt like there were several large wasps constantly stinging her. Carlos was cocking his gun, ready for any Umbrellas who came in.
"You alright?" he asked Alice.
"I'll be fine," she replied looking down at the blood that was now forming on her chest.
Jill noticed this and removed her jacket leaving her only with a t-shirt. It was freezing, but she could deal. She handed Alice the jacket, only to find that her arm was once again covered in blood.
"You can use it," Alice said offering the jacket back.
"Nah, I'm good," Jill said turning it away and then putting her hand over her shoulder.
Jill watched Alice covered her bullet wounds up with the jacket, letting it soak up the blood. She had to remember to add this to the Times that Alice has Saved My Life list.
"Thanks," Jill said smiling at Alice. "For saving me back there."
"Come on, you knew I was going to do that the whole time," Alice replied and returned the smile. "Besides, no matter what my decision was they would've killed you guys anyway, or worse they would've but you in some kind of program where you'd turn out like me."
"So do I have your trust back?" Alice asked.
Jill found everyone staring at her for her answer. It was a ridiculous question to ask, considering what Alice had just did for her, and she knew the others would probably kill her if she said no.
"Yeah."
Alice smiled and pulled herself up, trying to ignore the pain in her chest. They were all looking to her concerned.
"You're gonna have to get those out of you," Carlos notified. "We'll get you to a hospital once we get out of here. I don't think we're getting a doctor."
"Maybe not a doctor," Jill said reloading her Subs. "But we're getting somebody."
Jill got up before anyone could react to her and ran to the entrance of the corn field. The Umbrella workers were all standing outside, as if they were waiting for them to come out. They looked like multiple targets that could all easily be taken down. How could people this stupid be controlling everyone's products? She shook the thought out of her head and raised her guns. She began firing on the eleven of the workers, each one falling to their death as bullets ripped through their bodies. They tried to fire back, but couldn't see her anywhere. The cornfield was hiding her perfectly. Soon all but one of them was dead, and she had no intention on killing him ... yet.
He noticed that he was the only one left alive and ironically had not been shot down yet. Then he heard a voice from the cornfield.
"Throw your weapon as far away as you can and get on the ground," Jill yelled. "Do as I say or you get a bullet in that pea you call a brain!"
Immediately the guy threw his weapon as far away as he could and dropped to the ground. Jill walked out of the corn and stood over him, putting a gun to his head. He was shaking like one of those stupid bobble head dolls that sat on the dashboard, but Jill had no mercy for him. He worked for Umbrella.
"Get up," she commanded. "Don't do what I say or not answer me at any time, and I'll make you wish you were never born. Now what's your name?"
"John Wadsworth," he said getting to his feet.
The others were beginning to emerge from the corn. They stood besides Jill analyzing the man. Alice looked at him and automatically knew who he was. They had never met, but she from her knew programming every single employee of Umbrella, and she wasn't sure if he knew anything about Program Alice, but it was worth a shot. She nodded to Jill who then put the gun to his back and forced him towards the SUV.
"No," Alice said stopping them. "They have a bomb in the vehicle. It'll go off when the engine starts. We'll have to find another one ... fast. There'll be more of them soon."
Alice moved and impulsively the others followed. They walked down the street at a rapid pace. Carlos had his gun ready for any Umbrellas. LJ was staying in the middle of all of them, incase any more bullets came, and Jill was edging Wadsworth to move faster. When a house finally did come into view, Alice saw that it was convenient enough to have an SUV.
"Jill, you hot wire it," Alice said knowing Jill was a master at that kind of stuff. "The rest of you ..."
Alice came to a sudden stop causing Carlos and LJ to collide into her. Her breathing began to increase rapidly, and her head was getting really hot. She collapsed on the ground and covered her head with her hands, trying to stop the headache. The others couldn't believe what they were seeing again.
"No!" Jill yelled turning to Wadsworth. "How do you make her stop?"
"I'm not allowed to say," he replied.
"How do you make her stop," Jill said as she pulled her gun out and put it right to his neck.
"I can't say!" he said almost crying.
Jill yelled furiously and then fired the weapon. John fell to the ground with his head practically hanging off. She then joined the guys who were kneeling by LJ. She gripped Alice's hand tightly.
"Fight it!" she yelled to her friend. "Don't let them win against you!"
Alice had no intentions on letting them turn her, but she also had no intentions on killing her friends. If they got through to her, they would undoubtedly order her to kill them.
"Go!" Alice managed to get out.
"Alice ..." Jill started.
"No!" Alice coughed. "Just go!"
Jill stood up and looked to the others who were still kneeling by Alice. It was a hard decision to leave Alice. Alice hadn't left her in the barn when she had begged for her to.
"You guys," Alice struggled to get out. "They'll make ... me ... kill you."
Carlos and LJ looked to Jill for a command. Jill looked to them and then to Alice. From her appearance, she could turn in seconds, so she made the hardest decision she'd ever had to make."
"Let's go."
She began running away waving for LJ and Carlos to follow her. Alice could only watch as the three of them ran into one of the cornfields. She knew she had about ten seconds before they had control of her, so she dedicated to last ten seconds to bringing every focus to her to gain dominance over whatever was about to take over her body. It didn't take long after that for her world to turn ultra violet. That thing had taken over her once again.
Author's Note: Yep, I turned Alice again. What fun would it be if I didn't? You guys keep reviewing. The more reviews I get the faster I write. Ch9 coming soon.
