Chapter one "The dream and Raccoon City"

A clattering noise was heard it was metal against the floor. A dark haired woman put her knife back in its sheath.

"I'm on it!" She said as she got her gun ready.

The woman walked through the maze of boxes with her gun looking for where the noise had come from. She notices a metal cylinder rolling across the floor from behind some boxes. The woman slowly looks around thew box and sees a woman leaning against the wall in a white lab coat. She points the gun at her then notices the woman limping a little.

"JD we got a survivor!" She yells back. She looks at the woman again and starts to walk toward her.

"It's okay we're here to help." She says as the woman falls on her. "You seem to be in some serious-" She starts to say then screams.

The woman's monster-like face bit the dark haired woman's hand. The monster woman fights with the other woman on the ground.

"Get off of me!" The dark haired woman said a couple times.

A man came in to see what was going on.

"JD get her off of me before I stab her ass!" The woman said as the man threw the monster off of her then there was a bunch of shooting. Until the monster was down.

Then there was nothing not long later there was another site the man from before typed in a code to open a door.

"See how easy that was." The man said but as the door opened and a bunch of the monsters grabbed him.

The woman who had been bitten before went and fought the monsters to grab the man's hand, but she had lost the battle. The man was taken and the door closed.

Soon something else was shown, the woman was in some kind of tunnel with a few others climbing up on some pipes. The woman hadn't climbed up yet but the man she tried to save before was in front of her face. The man, now bloody and gruesome looking, bit the woman she screamed. All was heard but not seen was a gunshot.

One more came the woman and three others were on a train the woman was sitting on the ground as something ripped through the side of the train the woman rolled over to get away from the claws. The dark haired woman crawled to the other side of the train. Nothing much had happened other than a lighter haired woman and a man were fighting this really big catlike monster that had blood and grime all over it's body. Then back at the woman who had been bitten in the first scene appeared but she was different she looked like one of the monsters, she attacked…

"AH!" A seven-year-old girl, with dark braided pigtails down the sides of her head, woke up screaming.

The little girl, whose name was Maria, found herself at the edge of a forest behind some trees. She sat up and looked at the road a few feet away. She shivered in the darkness feeling her whole body and her Elmo backpack shake. She brushed the leaves off of her jeans and her green t-shirt. Maria stood up on her white sneakers. She noticed some scratches on her little arms.

"Why didn't anyone come find me?" She asked herself as she rubbed her bright brown eyes. "Where is Mrs. Brown?" She asked herself again.

Maria cupped her hands to her mouth. "Mrs. Brown, Emma, Sarah, April, Madison…" She called. "Where is everyone?" The only answer she got was some bats squeaking and flying toward her. She ducked as they flew over her head. After about a minute of bats flying over her seven-year-old body, she slowly looked up scared.

"Bats don't act that crazy." She whispered to herself she scratched her head then flinched a little.

She heard a weird moaning sound behind her. Maria slowly turned around and saw a bunch of monsters, exactly like the ones in her dream. They came toward her. Maria gasped and broke into a run her tiny feet pounding on the forest ground nearby the deserted road. She tripped over a branch ripping her pants and scraping her knee. As she got up she started running again not caring about the pain. Her tears were starting to blur her eyes not giving much help in the darkness. She felt one of the monsters scratch her arm.

"I wish mommy, daddy and Aunt Ana were here!" She cried. As she ran faster into a nearby city.

She stopped, hoping she lost the monsters and to catch her breath. The city seemed worse when she first got into it she could sense something was wrong. Little Maria hadn't seen so many car accidents in her life.

"I can't be still dreaming." She whispered to herself looking at the destruction.
