Chapter 2:
Leon paced the room wondering what to do.He was trapped in a single room against hundreds of people infected with the Las Plagas parasite. He searched the room and found a Hand Grenade, a Flash Grenade, and a Smoke Bomb.He got out his TMP and prepared for the worst.
Suddenly, the door and bookshelf barricading the door burst into splinters. They had broken in. Leon opened fire with the TMP. The enemies just kept funneling in. Leon ran out of ammo quickly for the TMP, so he took outthe flash grenade, and threw it into the crowd. They were all blinded.
Leon went up to them and started attacking with his knife. He was making decent progress until the people regained sight. One of them managed to cut Leon in the side with a scythe. Leon fell to the floor. He quickly jumped up, and he had an idea that could buy him some time.
Leon threw the Smoke Bomb, giving him enough time to apply the First Aid Spray. He then tossed the Hand Grenade into the crowd. The enemies were blown apart, and blood splattered on the walls. Leon equipped his Punisher, and prepared to finish the enemies off.
When the smoke cleared, there were no enemies anywhere. It was over… or so Leon thought until the creature returned. Itcharged at Leon, but once again he was able to dodge it. Leon fired 5 shots into its head. It was still coming at him like nothing happened. Leon took out his knife and prepared for a fight.
The creature slashed at Leon, but he ducked under its claw and cut at its knees. The creature fell to the ground, and Leon stomped on its head. The creature cried out in agony. It leapt to its feet, and once again tried to attack. This time, it tried to rip at Leon's neck with its razor sharp teeth. Leon dodged, but got a small cut on his shoulder. Then Leon stabbed the creature in the chest. It screeched and jumped up through a hole in the ceiling, which Leon assumed is how it got in.
"Are you ok Leon?" Ashley calmly asked.
Leon replied with a thumbs up, and they left the house, which had gone from an elegant livable place, to a bloody mess, all in about 15 minutes.
The town was once again empty, so they decided to explore. They decided to search the houses first. There were three in all. The first was a four room house. It was about the same size as the big house's first floor. The first room was a messed up room with an overturned couch and broken glass. There were bullet holes in the wall, indicating that some sort of fight had gone on. There was nothing in the room of any use though.
In the kitchen, there was abody of a dead woman.She had been decapitated, from the looks of things,her head had been eaten. It also appeared as if she had been whipped. Leon quicky came to the conclusion that she had been attacked by Las Plagas.
"Why would they attack one of their own people?" Ashley asked
"I don't know, and I really don't want to hang around to find out. Let's finish searching this house and get out!" Leon replied
In the bedroom, Leon saw a note on the bed. It said," I saw the secret. I looked in the secret passage in the bar... and I saw a horrifying creature! Now that I know the secret, they are coming to get me... I will fight them. I will never become one of them..." the letter stopped there.
" So he got killed for knowing too much. Now we know there is something in that bar! We need to go there next!" Ashley said
Leon replied,"Ok, we will..."
Suddenly, the power went out.
"What is going on!" Ashley screamed
"Just a power outage" Leon replied "we should go to the mill and check it out."
"Wait, Leon!" Ashley quickly yelled " I have a flashlight. Let's finish searching these houses first."
Ashley handed the flashlight to Leon, and they left to go to the next house. The next house seemed to be more like a food store. There were spoiled food products everywhere, and the smell was unbearable. They quickly left the house, not even bothering to check.
The next house fit Leon's style better. It must have belonged to the gun shop owner, because there were guns everywhere. Most of them had been taken apart, probably to prevent them from being used, but Leon quickly spotted a perfect gun. He quickly unloaded the magazine from his Punisher, and tossed the handgun to the ground. He then picked up the Red 9 handgun in its place. He also got rid of his TMP, and in its place, he picked up a shotgun.
In the back of the house, they saw a man hanging from the ceiling. There was a note on a nearby table. It read," I refuse to become one of them. I will never succumb to the virus. I have seen those creatures underneath the bar. I will never become one of them. I would rather die at my own hands than at those of that virus."
" I thought it was a parasite!" Ashley exclaimed
" It is" replied Leon " which makes me think that there is more then just Las Plagas involved in this"
As they left the house to go to the mill, little did they know they were being watched, or what they were soon to unearth...
To be continued...
