Chapter eight "The Hive"
The train shook as it moved. There was only one place this train would lead, back to "The Hive". Alice went over to Maria and helped her up.
"You ok"
"I think so" Maria brushed herself off. The little girl looked up at Alice. "We're going to that place aren't we"
Alice nodded.
"Can't you stop the train"
"I could but we wouldn't be able to get off."
Maria slipped, Alice caught her before she fell to the ground. She brought her over to where the little girl could hang onto something. Maria looked around the train blood was spattered a little on the walls and ceiling. She listened to the train against the tunnel walls and on the tracks. She clutched onto the bar. It wasn't long before the train took a sudden stop.
"Whoa!"
Alice stood in the same place for a few seconds. Maria slowly let go of the bar, ready to grab it if she lost her balance. The little girl walked up to Alice. She looked at her.
"Are we gonna go?"
"Aren't you scared?"
"I'm not sure anymore. All the stuff that happened, it can't be as bad as the street or the hospital or even the forest." Maria shrugged.
"You're a brave kid Maria" Alice said touching the little girl's shoulder.
Maria smiled. She gave a sharp nod.
They opened the train door carefully. Maria looked around.
"The coast looks clear" She whispered. Alice listened for any sign of movement.
"But it's too quiet." She whispered. Maria looked up at her.
Alice stepped out of the train. Maria followed her. Alice used the last of the bullets she had found earlier for the gun.
"Stay with me I'll do the fighting." She said.
The seven-year-old nodded. "I can try to."
Out of the corner of her eye, Maria noticed some more of the monsters drifting closer to where they were. She tugged onto Alice's shirt and pointed to what she saw. Alice slightly nudged Maria to get behind her. As the zombies approached Alice shot them. Maria imitated some fighting as the zombies fell.
"Yeah!" She said powerfully, her fist up in the air she brought it down. Maria noticing how loud she yelled quickly put her hand over her mouth.
"Sorry" she said in a muffled way. The girl took her hand off of her mouth.
Alice continued shooting. As more zombies emerged Alice stepped back. Maria copied her movements. They stopped. Maria listened for any other signs of movement, she heard something and slowly turned around. She stepped to the side and forward. She looked to the creature that was in front of her. Maria took a few scared breaths she was like a deer in headlights. She grabbed the locket from her pocket.
"M-Mommy" She whispered she couldn't move, paralyzed at the sight of her mom as one of those monsters. Purplish skin where she had been bitten and eyes as if in a trance.
In a dreamlike sequence. Rain slowly leaned down to her daughter and bit the little girl's neck. Maria screamed. Alice sharply turned around, and was about to shoot. Suddenly, some weird force pushed Rain and Maria apart. They both rolled across the ground. A sort of wave remnants from the force pushed all of the monsters away from where the three were.
The force disappears. Rain is lying on the ground Maria crawls a little bit she then stops and spits up some kind of blue-green goop. She then falls to the ground and lies there.
Alice looks at the two collapsed on the ground in fear. What had just happened? She didn't understand. She was dumbstruck. Alice watched as no change had happened with Maria. When Alice looked over at Rain she saw her change. The Zombie markings were disappearing, color was returning to her skin. Rain wasn't changing into another form of a monster she was turning back to herself.
"That's strange" Alice whispered. Rain couldn't have been given what JD had to have him turn to himself none of it was here. It must have something to do with Maria. Alice glanced over at the unconscious child on the ground.
Rain groaned and slowly sat up. She rubbed her head then coughed. She looked up confused.
"What the hell just happened?" She asked as she saw Alice.
Alice tried to say something but she couldn't seem to find the words, she was still in shock. Rain bit her lip then she looked over and noticed the little girl on the ground. She gasped and her eyes got wide. Rain went over to Maria, Alice followed.
"Oh my God!" Rain said.
Rain put her hand close to where she had bitten Maria. The blood started to dry up.
"I did that didn't I?" She said quietly. She opened the little girl's clenched hand and saw the cleaned gold locket. She picked it up. Tears came to her eyes as she looked at the little girl's picture.
Rain had a flashback.
It was 2:30 pm on June 12th. She was in her senior year of high school but they had given her some time off because of her pregnancy. She felt a sharp pain. She ignored it at first but not long later she felt it again.
"Shit" Rain said noticing what was happening. Rain's older sister came into the room.
"Ana" She said in pain.
"Hospital" Ana said automatically. Rain was actually due the 8th but for a few days nothing happened. Ana knew it was time.
They got to the hospital and Rain was given a room while Ana called JD.
"JD you might want to come to the hospital" She told him.
"I'll be there in a few minutes" He said they hung up.
Not long later JD was in Rain's hospital room. Her contractions stopped for the moment and she looked out the window at a nearby playground. Where many kids were playing and running around.
"One day we will be there with our kid" JD told her.
"Yeah, oh." Rain said then felt the pain again. "Jeez does this ever end!" She said loudly.
"Sorry Rain not for a while" Ana said.
"Great!" Rain said.
"Nice Ana real nice" JD said to her sarcastically.
Rain was breathing as JD wiped her down.
"Don't worry it'll be over in a bit" He told her.
"I wish it was over now!" Rain said through clenched teeth.
The doctor cam in to check up on them.
"How long till she's ready?" Ana asked the doctor.
"Well with the first, and considering how young she is, probably not till late at night or early tomorrow morning." She answered.
"You mean I have to go through this all night!" Rain yelled. JD tried settling her down.
Later that night around 11:50pm. Rain was finally ready to have the baby. She was sweating.
"OK push now you can do it" The doctor said to her.
"Hold my hand" JD whispered to her giving Rain the hand that wasn't holding the Ice-chips. Rain clenched on to it. She screamed a few times, it was a little hard not to. She breathed heavily.
Then at exactly Midnight, now June 13th, The baby was born Rain fell back on to her pillows and sharply exhaled she was relieved. She let go of JD's hand and he kept rubbing it because of how hard Rain was holding it. The baby started crying.
"You did it, We did it" JD said.
"Are you the baby's father?" The doctor asked JD.
"Yeah"
"Come here and cut the cord"
JD went over and they gave him the special scissors.
"Right in between those"
JD cut it and the baby was taken to be cleaned up, weighed, and measured. He went back over to Rain.
"It's a girl" He whispered in an excited way.
Rain smiled. As the baby was placed in her arms.
"Holy shit it's a girl" Rain whispered.
She rocked her little girl. JD kissed Rain and then his daughter.
"Maria Isabella, born June 13th at 12am midnight, 5 pounds 9 ounces, 19 inches long"
"Rain she looks a lot like you when you were born" Ana said as she looked at the baby sleeping in her little sister's arms.
"She does" Rain smiled.
Ana nodded.
The flashback ended.
Rain stroked her seven-year-old daughter's cheek.
"Rain you didn't loose her" Alice said feeling Maria's pulse. "Her pulse is still strong"
Rain checked the little girl carefully for broken bones. Maria had a lot of bruises and cuts but no broken bones. Rain put the locket in her pocket and slowly picked her up.
"We have to go to the mansion" Rain said.
They went to the train and started it up. They were on the way back to the mansion.
