Author's Note: I am so sorry! I totally didn't realize that my story hadn't been updated! This week has been horribly hectic (say that 3x fast). So I'm really sorry and here ya go.
So, okay, I told you I would explain and I did, sort of. Of course, with Umbrella, there's always more to the story. Now that Alice knows Rain is a killer, how will she react? Will she be able to keep Claire, Chris and Sherry safe?

Chris threw the zombie off and butted it in the face with his shotgun, aiming the blow at the creature's chin. There was another crack as its neck broke.
He turned, ready to fight off more but I grabbed his shoulder, trying to keep him from seeing what Rain had done. She was still wiping the blood from her lips. I dragged him to the fire escape, killing zombies as they approached, keeping him free of their grasp. Once again, I used the strength Umbrella had given me and basically threw him to the second landing of the fire escape. He landed heavily and I knew he was surprised. Nevertheless, he turned to me, still holding the shotgun.
"Pull the ladder up! Get Sherry and Claire!" Chris nodded and began to pull the ladder up. It squeaked with each tug. I still was listening for any sounds from inside the building. I picked out Claire and Sherry with my new vision standing on the roof. I couldn't tell from either's face if they had seen Rain. The zombies were working on the meal Rain had placed before them: the man and the woman. She stood quietly and watched. Could I get away? She seemed gone, lost in her own thoughts. If I hadn't seen everything that I had seen I would've thought myself crazy. There were zombies all around us and I was being controlled by some kind of implant. I could run. Would Rain follow?
"You can't run, Alice," Rain said, eyes still black. "Well, I suppose you could, but it wouldn't make a difference." She smiled that horrible smile of hers. "All I have to do is give you an order and you're here like that." She snapped her fingers. Her eyes left my face and she looked up.
"For example..."
"Kill them," Rain ordered, pointing to the only people I cared about: Chris, Claire and Sherry.
