Chapter Nine

My Counterpart

Alice once again found herself under the control of Umbrella, as the thing inside her made her stand up. She hated not being able to have power of anything she did. It was like watching a horror movie. You want to warn those people in the woods that they're about to die, but you can't. Then she felt her objective enter her brain. Report to Umbrella Headquarters.

She was slightly relieved by the command, since she was almost positive that it would have been to kill the others. She suddenly began walking towards the barn. Now she guessed was as good as time as any to start fighting.

Listen to me, you bitch. We are Alice. We are not weapons for this corporation. We're going to destroy it. You can't stop us from doing it.

"I am not Alice," she found herself saying. "I am Alice."

Okay, that has to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I thought you were suppose to be highly intelligent or something.

"Shut up!" Alice yelled. "Soon you will be dead, when Umbrella figures out how to activate me fully, and when you learn how to stop fighting me."

Don't count on it.

Alice justkept walking towards the barn, ignoring everything that her counterpart said. If that bitch thought that she could fight her off, she was wrong.

She entered the barn to find two Umbrella personnel waiting for her. They escorted her down the stairs and into the facility, where they led her to the room where Isaacs and another woman stood. The two men left as Alice entered the room.

Ask him why he didn't tell you to kill the others.

"She wants to know why I wasn't instructed to kill the other three," Alice asked Isaacs.

"Because we're not making the same mistake we made with Nemesis," Isaacs replied. "She might be able to fight her way out of you before you can succeed. It took us long enough to get control of her once more."

So he's scared of me. That's humorous.

"My mission, sir?" Alice asked.

The woman handed Isaacs some kind of shot tube with a blue liquid in it. He took it from her and walked towards Alice.

"This will drain the weakness out of you," Isaacs said sticking the needle into her shoulder. Any normal human being would have screamed like hell when they were pricked, but she didn't even flinch. "By weakness, I mean her. It will take several hours before she is completely gone, but there should be enough now for her to remain stabilized."

Shit! Oh my God that hurts!

"Why not wait an hour or two to be sure," Alice asked.

"Because Valentine, Wayne, and Olivera will have escaped by then," Isaacs responded. "We have to act quickly and kill them."

No!

Alice had laughed slightly at her other half's response. She loved making her writhe while knowing that she could do nothing about it. She would make sure she killed them before Alice was gone, and she would make sure she did it slowly and painfully before her eyes.

"Your mission starts now," Isaacs commanded. "Kill Olivera and Wayne. Bring Valentine back alive. I think that she will be an excellent candidate for our new experiment."

What? No!

"I'll be back soon," Alice smiled as she walked out of the building.

I won't let you do this.

Alice laughed as she walked out the barn door. Only one thought was focused on her mind, two actually. Her first thought was her mission of course, and the second was getting that stupid bitch out of her head.

"We'll see, hunny," Alice said focused. "We'll see."

Meanwhile, Jill, Carlos, and LJ walked out of the cornfield. They had seen Alice walk away from them and were very surprised by it. They were sure that she would have been instructed to kill them. Jill then looked to their ride they were supposed to commandeer. It was being driven away very quickly. The people must've seen Jill shoot Wadsworth.

"Great," Carlos muttered.

"We'll get another one," Jill said.

"Where?" LJ asked. "The next house that's three miles away."

Jill didn't respond to him but just started her way down the road. Carlos followed her without question leaving LJ just standing there.

"Man, I'm stuck with these crazy ass white people." He said eventually giving in and following him.

Carlos fell into step besides Jill, who was walking at an extremely fast pace. She looked pissed and exhausted.

"Something wrong?"

"What kind of question is that?" Jill shot back. "We're stuck in Hickville will no way out, and soon Umbrella is going to send Alice after us and it'll be over."

"Always look on the bright side, huh?" Carlos responded.

"I'm just being realistic," Jill said truthfully.

They continued walking for ten minutes yet to find a car. Jill was beginning to get nervous, and it was easily shown as she kept looking behind them. They had to find a car and get out of there fast.

"What about Alice?" Carlos asked. "Do you plan on saving her?"

"Of course," Jill replied.

Jill had no intentions on leaving Alice to the hands of that corporation, besides she owed her too much to abandon her now. She couldn't stand the thought of them screwing with Alice again.

LJ was beginning to lose hope as well until he saw an unbelievable sight in the distance. It was a large house with three cars parked out front.

"Look at that!" he pointed. "There's our ride!"

"Yes!" Jill yelled.

The three of them ran up to the house, and began to stealthy walk up to one of the cars. It was likely that the people were still home, and they didn't want to have to threaten at gunpoint them for the car.

Jill checked the Nissan Frontier's door to find that it was unlocked, redneck idiots always leaving their door unlocked. She was about to go into the car when she heard the front door slam wide open and Carlos yell her name. She looked to see some beer belly with a pistol. Then she noticed the red and white symbol on his hat. He worked for Umbrella. The man began shooting at all three of them yelling for them to get the hell off his property.

Jill was about to draw her Subs when she heard LJ yell in pain. She looked over to see him fall with a gunshot wound in his chest. She looked to the gunner furious and raised her Subs to him. He saw her and quickly tried to match his gun with hers. Both fired. The blast of Sub Machine Guns killed the small sound of a pistol going off. The man fell to the ground with multiple holes in him.

He was dead, but once again Jill felt the familiar feeling of pain in her body. The bullet had connected with her lower arm.

"Damn it! Why do I keep getting shot!"

She looked to Carlos who was kneeling besides LJ. A lot of blood was coming out of his chest. He'd not only been shot once but three times.

"I'm gonna be alright," he said putting his hand over his chest. "I just need to rest."

Jill and Carlos nodded to him. He didn't look good at all, but he didn't seem like he was going to die. They would need to get him to a hospital somehow.

"It'll be okay," Jill said standing up. "We're just gonna have to ..."

Carlos looked up when Jill paused. What he saw made a cold chill run through his body. They were staring straight into the eyes of Alice. Before either one could react, LJ had many more holes in his body, killing him automatically.

"Hi," Alice smiled.

Author's note: Bum bum bum! What's going to happen? Is Carlos next? So many questions waiting to be answered. You all review. Many suckers to the 50th reviewer, any flavor you want. Thanks you guys.
