Chapter 11: Loss
Rebecca
Billy was still in a sort of trance when the announcement ended. Rebecca wasn't in any better condition.
If only I didn't hesitate to shoot him…I'm such an idiot! We did all this for nothing! She mentally screamed at herself.
" Rebecca, we gotta move," said Billy, suddenly.
She stopped her inward pity-party to see a man stumble into the room. Except it wasn't exactly a man anymore. The man had blood red eyes, devoid of emotion. It saw Rebecca and smiled, running its tongue over very pointy teeth.
" What is that?" asked Rebecca, in horror.
No time to think, react or blink. Billy fired 5 rounds, and Rebecca plugged in 3 headshots before it was on her.
The monster tackled her with such velocity that all the air was knocked out of her. She heard Billy shooting the thing as it bent down near her neck.
No, not monster….vampire! Thought Rebecca numbly.
She felt it's fangs plunge into her neck, and her blood was being drained. Rebecca squeezed her eyes shut, wishing it away. She heard her name being called and Rebecca felt very far away as the vampire sucked out her life.
Then it stopped.
She opened her eyes to see Billy with his lighter, and the vampire on fire. It screamed, a scream that would forever linger in Rebecca's ears.
" Rebecca!" screamed Billy and ran to her.
Rebecca already had her med-kit out, applying pressure to the wound.
" It's okay," she said, voice wavering, " It's like 2 pin holes in my neck. No big deal."
"…it infected you, didn't it?" asked Billy, voice stricken with dread.
" I don't know." she answered.
Billy helped her bandage and disinfect the wound.
" Well, these computers are here for a reason," he said, trying to cling to hope that she could be saved, " There has to be some information on a cure."
Rebecca nodded, feeling weird. She felt so different than before. Empowered. Her body demanded she do some physical activity to test her new power.
" Here's a lead," said Billy, typing away at the computer, " The anti-virus should be the orange colored liquid."
He checked the shelves for the acclaimed cure, as her senses sharpened. Rebecca began noticing how much noise and tremors Billy's footsteps could make. How loud breathing could sound. And how thirsty she was.
A craving developed and Billy's neck looked very delightful right then.
No! screamed Rebecca to herself, No! I won't give in!
" Found it!" cried Billy, holding up a vial of orange liquid.
He advanced to Rebecca who was battling with inner demons; and the ground gave away. And they both fell.
Rebecca landed on her feet, spire as a wildcat. Billy landed not as nicely, on his bum.
They were in what seemed like a parking lot. Rebecca noticed tons of metal on top of a woman some feet up ahead. This woman once had some significance to Rebecca, but she could no longer remember. The instinct took over.
She sensed power, and saw the source. A Hybrid creature.
3 others, weaker; were there as well. 2 male, 1 female, all with weapons. They were easy bait, and seemed intent to kill the Hybrid. Especially one male that had a fiery rage to kill the thing.
Rebecca licked her lips. Hunting them down would be much fun. She turned to her former mate and would save him for last.
The Hybrid monster was now straggling one of the males as her former mate got into the action with his own weapon. The other 2 were trying to shoot the offending tentacle, as the craving got stronger and the woman called Rebecca could not think straight.
No! Rebecca screamed, If I'm going to lose control of everything, I'm focusing my rage and craving at the monster. Billy…I'm sorry…I.. can't fight it….
And Rebecca died inside. But her shadow helped them fight, and they needed all the help they could get.
Chris
Chris didn't know Ada long. In fact, he couldn't say he knew her at all. But she and Leon obviously had a past together, and sacrificing herself for him was truly honorable. And really screwed up.
Just goes to show that happy endings are only in fairy tales, thought Chris.
But she was just another statistic for Wesker, just another drop of blood on his hands.
Whatever Wesker had become, it had 2 wriggling tentacles coming out from its eyes. Wesker threw the gun to the side and charged. Leon ran at him, shooting his Striker non-stop.
Wesker didn't flinch from the shotgun shots. A tentacle lashed out and wrapped around Leon's neck, straggling him.
Jill opened fire on the tentacle and Chris fired one magnum shot as Leon's face turned a bright red. Another bullet was fired, and the tentacle dropped Leon, recoiling in pain.
2 shots left…damn.
Chris aimed for the other tentacle and pulled the trigger. The tentacles were about to lash out at him, when a petite figure jumped at Wesker.
Chris stared, jaw dropped.
Rebecca?
It looked like Rebecca, but when she punched Wesker he actually fell down.
Okay…thought Chris, What the HELL is going on?
Jill began shooting Wesker again, as did Leon. Billy ran in the fray, with only a handgun. Chris was conserving his last shot, waiting for the right time to strike.
Jill got too close. A tentacle wrapped around her throat and threw her across the room.
" Jill!" screamed Chris.
" Redfiled!" screamed Wesker.
The tentacle formed into a spike and was about to plunge into Chris's body, but he ducked in the nick of time.
Rebecca pulled Wesker back and landed a blow to his face, tentacles slicing at her body. She didn't seem to feel her wounds and was thrown to the side.
" Rebecca!" cried Chris.
Billy was already next to her, and she got up with even more speed then before.
" Rebecca…?" asked Billy.
This time she showed no intention that she heard her name, or knew it.
Jill
Jill knew they were screwed. Totally and completely. The strongest weapon they had was Leon's Striker and he was using it carelessly, in a rage. And if he didn't watch it, Leon was going to get himself killed.
And then there was Rebecca.
Rebecca was infected, easy to tell because she could inflict damage on Wesker. With her bare hands.
Wesker was advancing towards her now, and Jill fired the Punisher. He dodged it effortlessly.
" Jill…" drawled Wesker, and lashed out for the kill.
Rebecca intervened and grabbed one of the tentacles and yanked it out of the eye socket. Blood flowed from the empty eye socket and the tentacle was still wriggling in Rebecca's hand. Wesker let out a roar, and Rebecca kicked him.
Jill felt like she was going to vomit on herself. She ran, knowing she had no particular choice. Whatever Rebecca had become, she could hold her own against him.
Jill tripped over her own 2 feet, and got back up. She came face to face with a Rocket Launcher incased in glass.
" Finally!" she said.
Jill threw her fist through the glass, her knuckles bloody and scratched. But it was a small price to pay for the powerful Rocket Launcher.
