Chapter 5: Creatures of the Night
Andre had seen them. They, who violated his home and killed his servants.
When Andre telepathically fused his mind with theirs, he felt their emotions. Andre would at first feel the incredible urge to eat, almost overpowering all his senses. But he also felt a small need to strategize to catch the prey and stop the craving. When Andre entered the minds of his H-virus carrier servants, he combined what small amount of logic they had to his own; and they were more than capable.
Keeping track of all groups of intruders had been troublesome indeed. And Andre was beyond mad. Beyond furious. They, the intruders, wanted to destroy his life's ambition. To stop him from purifying the Earth of the dirt that had taken residence there. The world was in chaos. It needed order. It needed the H-virus. He needed to be the leader, judge, jury and executioner.
They didn't understand. Neither did his co-worker, Mike. But then he ripped out his throat. And he became another rank of the undead.
Andre still had many preparations to do before he could maintain control. But he needed to at least take care of 1 set of them before then. He decided to use one of Mike's own to dispose of them.
" Your baby shall feast," said Andre, to the shell that was once Mike.
A ghost of a smile appeared on the dead man's lips.
Leon
Door number 1 was locked, so Ada used the gold key they found earlier to unlock it. It was a fairly large room with a wooden table, couches and a shiny object sitting on one of the couches.
Attracted to the shimmer, Leon made his way to it. The object was a crest with a tear engraved on it.
" A crest…" said Leon, " It must be a part of a puzzle…"
" Seems so," responded Ada, but she was thinking, No really Captain Obvious.
Something jumped down from the ceiling. At that same instant, the door that they could of used to escape was barred with a iron gate. Leon switched to his Striker, and Ada to her TMP.
The 'thing' looked like a person, a male; with sandy blonde hair. It's eyes were a translucent blue, and his face was deathly pale. The thing smiled at Leon, revealing long, pointed, yellowed fangs. Thing is like a vampire, thought Leon, and he knew they just ran into Mike's creation.
" Blood…" slurred the vampire.
Ada and Leon created some space between themselves and the vampire.
" I'm guessing this is the vampire, huh?" asked Leon, although he knew the answer.
" I'm guessing your right," said Ada, raising her TMP.
Leon shot it in it's kneecaps, while Ada opened fire on it's upper body. The vampire just walked towards them, unfazed by the rain of bullets.
Ada ran behind it, sandwiching it between them but at a safe distance away. Despite the torrent of machine gun shells and the Striker, it kept moving forward. Towards Leon. Leon made a move to run to the left, and the vampire moved swiftly up to him and grabbed him by the shoulders. The vampire clamped so hard on his shoulders, Leon felt as if they would break. The translucent blue eyes gleamed with hunger and transfixed him, leaving Leon staring.
His brain slowly registered what was happening. It's hypnotizing me, like in the horror movies, thought Leon, sluggishly. The vampire lowered it's face to his neck, and Ada screamed, " Get the hell off him!"
TMP fire blossomed into the vampire's head, who loosen it's grip long enough for Leon to shot him with the Striker.
A vampire, Umbrella created a bio-engineered vampire, thought Leon, the facts slowly sinking in, Life sucks. Wait. A vampire! It must-! I have an idea!
" Ada!" shouted Leon, " Distract him for a minute, I have an idea!"
" Make it quick," said Ada, reloading, as the vampire charged at her.
Leon grabbed the small wooden table and broke off one of its legs, as Ada narrowly missed the vampire's attack. He ran at the vampire, wooden table leg in hand. No, not just a table leg. A stake.
" Hands off the lady," said Leon, as it turned to face him.
" Blood.." it rasped.
With all his strength, Leon plunged the stake into the vampire's heart. The vampire let out a feral scream as green blood poured openly from its wound.
It dropped dead, as the iron gate barring the door opened.
" How did you know?" asked Ada.
" What's the matter Ada?" asked Leon, a small grin forming, " Never seen any old vampire horror movies?"
Ada mirrored his smile, and she exited the room, Leon on her tail.
Rebecca
Rebecca regretted just bringing a rickety handgun to this mission. The handgun she had was her sole protector in the train and Spencer Estate. It was also too weak for disposing of the H-virus carriers. Luckily. Billy found a conveniently placed shotgun.
After exiting the lunch room, they found themselves in a narrow corridor of tanks. Tanks filled with leech creatures, that also had tentacles.
Plaga…? thought Rebecca.
She and Billy walked slowly down the corridor, and then there was a low but sharp sound of glass cracking.
" Run," said Billy, voice low and deadpan, " Run and don't look back."
Rebecca didn't have to be told twice. She and Billy ran side by side as the glass around them shattered and an inhuman shriek filled her ears.
The door seemed an eternity away, and the shrieks seemed louder and louder.
Please don't let it be locked! thought Rebecca, Please, oh Please!
Billy grabbed the handle of the metal door and swung it open wide enough so Rebecca could squeeze through, and then he went in as well.
Rebecca and Billy slammed the door shut, backs against it.
The leeches landed on the other side of the door, the impact feeling like a bowling ball was lunged into Rebecca's back. The tremor made her realize something: They were right behind us the whole time, a second later and…..
She didn't want to think about it.
" And the score is Billy 1, Umbrella 0," said Billy, slumping down against the door, as did she.
" Billy, I uh, wanted to give this back," said Rebecca, pulling off the dog tags from her own neck.
" My old dog tags…" said Billy, surprise etched on his face, " You kept them?"
" Of course," she replied, " It's been sort of a good luck charm for me, and I just wanted to give in back to you now, incase, you know… And besides, it is yours."
" No, keep them," answered Billy, " Nothing's going to happen to you, get that? Considering its your good luck charm to you, keep it."
" But-"
" You can give it back to me personally, after we blow this place to smithereens, okay?"
" Okay."
Rebecca looked over at him, and draped the tags around her neck. Billy stared at her and said, " I'm glad I found you again, even if it is under crappy circumstances and 6 years later."
Rebecca looked into his eyes, and unspoken words were said. Then his lips were on hers, and the world faded away. For that one kiss, she forgot about all the horrors in this place and the evil Umbrella. She felt safe. They pulled apart and stood up.
They had a job to do.
And Rebecca just noticed her surroundings then. It looked exactly like the Umbrella Training Facility that the train had crashed in.
" Is it just me, or is it Déjà vu all over again?" asked Rebecca.
" Someone's definably messing with our minds," said Billy, shaking his head.
