lionheart614: Okay, that was just a little typo I made and I fixed it, just so you know.
AnimaSola: Yeah, but I'm not writing that part with the kid named Ross. My friend is, and he hasn't sent me a new part yet. And I'm REALLY sorry for the long time it took me to update this.
sPeCIaL eDwARd: Danielle isn't a boy. She's a girl. As for Alice, I may have her show up, but it all depends.
Charli: Thanks a lot. I'm glad you like it.
Blade Wesker: Thanks a lot. And your wait is over. (Finally)
The Cry of Death: Agreed. That's why I had Danielle meet up with Jill in the first place because she is so cool.
A/N: And without further wait, here is the next chapter!
Chapter 3: The Return of S.T.A.R.S.
Jill scanned the area beyond the door, handgun at ready. When she was sure the room was cleared, she motioned for Danielle to follow her. "You should stay close to me. I really don't want anything happening to you."
"Eh… I'll be fine," she said weakly. Jill shot her a worried glance, seeing how weak the young teen was.
"I'm sure you will. But these creatures are everywhere, and there are even more dangerous ones than just the zombies. If we want to make it to the police station in one piece, then we'll have to keep our eyes and ears open."
"The police station? Why would we be going there?"
The S.T.A.R.S. member checked the ammo in her pistol while speaking. "I'm hoping that there may be some other cops there. And with luck, perhaps there will also be some civilians who managed to escape the zombies." Jill glanced at Danielle's wounds. "Not to mention that we need something to clean those with. Bottled water, perhaps. If we don't clean your injuries, they are going to get infected. I'd rather not have you go through that kind of pain."
Danielle paused for a moment. "I think you may be right about that," she whispered to herself. Jill smiled a bit. After being alone for so long in the city, it was nice to at least have someone to talk to, even if they were just a kid.
She walked over to another door in the room, placing a hand on the handle. "You ready for this?" The young teen nodded. "All right." Jill turned the knob and opened the door. The darkened streets beyond were empty; no virus carriers roamed the area. "Let's go. And remember to stick close to me." They walked out the door, searching for any zombies. They hadn't gone more than a few feet when a moan broke the silence. It was followed by several more, each one closer than the last.
"Jill…?"
She gritted her teeth as zombies emerged from the shadows of nearby buildings. There were way too many of them to fight, and she needed to conserve her ammo. "Danielle, run. And whatever you do, don't let them bite you." The child just stared wide-eyed at Jill. "Run!!" She nodded and ran off, going as fast as possible. Jill ran after her, pausing only to shoot the zombies in her way. The rest were slow enough to run past.
The officer heard a scream, and saw a shadowy figure jump past Danielle, coming close to hitting her head. Jill realized with a jolt that the creature was a spider infected with the T-Virus. The spider prepared to jump at the teen again, and from this distance, Jill risked hitting Danielle if she opened fire. Three shots rang out into the night, and the giant spider collapsed to the ground. Someone stepped out from behind a wrecked car, a pistol in their hand. They walked over to Danielle and began to talk to her. As Jill got closer, she recognized the person as the young Bravo team medic, Rebecca Chambers.
"Rebecca! Is that really you?" The medic looked up, surprised.
"Jill? I was hoping I would be able to find you. Let's get out of here, and we can talk later." Rebecca nodded towards a nearby building, its windows boarded up. She led them over to it and opened the door, signaling for the others to hurry through. Jill and Danielle entered the building, and Rebecca glanced one more time at the approaching zombies before entering herself.
"So, why in the world are you here? I thought you and the others had left," Jill asked, looking around the room. It looked like an old bookstore, and it was too dark to really make anything out.
The young medic nodded. "We did, but when we got a call from someone that the T-Virus had infected people in the city, we came here as fast as we could." She walked through the room towards a wooden door, opening it up. It led into another room, but it was better lit than the first.
Danielle, a bit shaken from her brush with death, raised an eyebrow. "Who called in about the virus?"
"And who's this?" Rebecca asked, glancing back at the teen. In the light, she saw the various cuts and bruises all over her body, and began to wonder if she had been bit or not.
"Her name's Danielle Sterling. I found her not too far from here wandering the streets. She was pretty banged up when I met her, but she wasn't bit. She says she was in some sort of car wreck, and now she can barely remember anything," Jill said, holstering her pistol.
Rebecca led Danielle over to a nearby table and had her sit on it, examining the injuries under the light. "These are pretty serious, but I can treat them." She pulled out some bandages from her field medical kit, and took a bottle of water from the table. "This'll sting a bit, but it's necessary, unless you want the wounds to get infected."
She nodded and clenched her fists, just as Rebecca poured some water on the cuts. The pain was terrible, but she didn't cry or complain. Danielle watched as the medic bandaged up the injuries, smiling a bit. "There. That wasn't so bad. It should stop hurting soon," she said, putting the bandages into her pack.
"So, Rebecca. Who called in about the T-Virus outbreak?" Jill asked
"Well, it was a man who said he worked for Umbrella. I don't know how he got our number, but he warned us that the virus was spreading too quickly to be contained by Umbrella, and he was going to try and get his family out of there. He sounded pretty frantic about it, and I could hear gunshots and screaming in the background. I'm guessing that he was somewhere in Raccoon City when he made the call, and he tried to escape afterwards. We never heard from him again." Rebecca shrugged. "We came to see if we could find you and get you out of here before anything happened."
"Who's 'we'?"
Rebecca's face reddened a bit, embarrassed about not mentioning it before. "Well, Chris, Barry, and I came to look for you. They're searching through a couple of rooms in the building right now, I think…" Danielle was barely aware of what the medic was saying, her head throbbing painfully. It had just started recently to be caused from the crash, making her wonder exactly what was wrong.
"Danielle…?" a worried voice said. She looked up, vision too blurry to make out the two women's faces. It felt like their voices were getting distant, and she was too weak to stay sitting up.
"Danielle!" A hand touched her forehead, and the voice speaking became frantic. "She's burning up! Jill, are you positive she wasn't bit?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. The zombies didn't even touch her, and the spider you killed didn't get the time to bite her, either. I don't know what it could be!"
Danielle felt a hand feeling through her hair. "That's a fang mark… The spider must have gotten her while it was jumping over her head. She may be poisoned. Go run upstairs and get Chris and Barry down here pronto! I think one of them have something to stop the poison. The door's over there."
The sound of a door opening and closing filled the air, and someone leaned over Danielle. "Just hold on. You're going to be all right." She tried to focus, but darkness filled her mind, and she passed out.
A/N: Yes, I finally got it updated after such a long time. As for DODONGOSLAYER's parts, I'll have to ask him to send them to me again. His character's adventure may be delayed for a while.
