Chapter 2: Hive-never be forgotten

Artificial light seeped from under the door, casting an elaborate theme of shadows. Their room was dimly lighted, pots and pans clashed in the kitchen, the vibrating sounds stirring the two awake.

I could feel his strong arms clasped around my stomach, I began getting uncomfortable. I had felt uncomfortable for a good few hours, I just never moved, I don't know why but those few hours Billy was the only thing that filtered my mind. The thumping of the kitchen appliances outside gave me a reason to awaken and start getting ready for our S.T.A.R.S. meeting set at 12:45 this afternoon. I could sense his uneasy awakening, as he tossed the sheets aside. I turned my head to stare at his face, he was handsome, but he was nothing like you. I leaned in giving him a friendly morning kiss, he lengthened the kiss, as I uneasily adjusted, and he pushed me against the bed. I could feel his breath brush over mines, and I felt the sheets rumpled at the weight of his body over mines.

I enjoyed the passion he brought, I enjoyed his tender kisses that soothed my neck, I enjoyed the way he caressed my stomach, and truly I did. But during our foreplay, Billy was on my mind, I couldn't help it; soon the quick flashes of him, turned into constant visions of him, memories I longed for to return. He was like a disease, a disease I couldn't forget, a disease with no cure, and I had to deal with it.

But I couldn't.

Soon he stopped, noticing he had gotten carried away. I felt his muscular figure leave my petite form and beginning to stand up. I felt guilty, guilty for thinking about you and guilty for his guiltiness. I began to stand as well, walking toward him; I gave him a smile and kissed his lips seductively. I noticed that certain kiss, made him smile differently, it made him feel differently. I pecked at his upper lip, licking his bottom and thrust my tongue in dancing with his, caressing his face with my hands, soon letting go to a slow escape, brushing his lips slightly.

He embraced me closer, sliding his hands inside my white tank-top as I nuzzled nearer to him, and I felt his lips brush onto my neck, sliding lower and lower. He dismissed our actions and grabbed my hand knowing we had to prepare for the meeting, hearing it was quite important.

I knew Claire didn't really like me too well, she didn't really approve of me being with her brother. I knew why. I knew she noticed my feelings for Billy, but she never mentioned them to Chris. I wish one day she would, so he would know the truth about you, well at least the truth about my feelings for you, my feelings that still plague me to this day.

Claire set paper plates on the black metal table, as Jill poured coffee into four mugs. The four were room mates, working together in S.T.A.R.S.

I smiled at Claire and then at Jill. Jill seemed awkwardly sullen, she blankly poured the coffee, and I've never seen her like this, only at one time.

Two years ago.

"Officer Valentine, we are sad to declare we have bad news" Two young police men entered the board-room where a meeting was being held. It was a meeting about rescuing Client 67894, Project Alice; Jill had arranged this meeting, reporting this Alice was a very important part of the T-virus mishap. I, Chris, Claire, Leon and Barry were all sitting in the long table, as Jill walked over to the two informers.

She nodded her head to them, informing them to keep speaking." We have news that Client 67894, Project Alice, had been….. murdered by Umbrella yesterday at 3:40 am, they sent us a tape showing the murder of Client 67894, would you like to view the tape?" One of the officers held out the tape to Jill, her head hung low staring at the tape in disbelief. I could sense sadness erecting from her, she nudged the tape away departing through the two officers.

I heard her footsteps slowly drift away.

The two officers solemnly smiled as one fit the tape back into his pocket. "Wait, we'll see it" Chris announced interest striking him. No one had ever known this Alice, only Jill, she seemed to have an unknown connection with her, and after the murder Jill never spoke of her again. We never dreaded to bring up the subject, though curiosity tickled us, we all wanted to know how they had known each other, but no one dare to bring it up.

One of the officers walked over to the small VCR/TV set and plugged in the tape. The film was blurry at first, the time and date were displayed at the bottom of the screen in bold black : 3:40 am, Feb.2 2003, and then a voice echoed as the sight of a blonde-haired woman with her mouth tied and her arms and legs being held down by chains, as she was projected on the wall like a crucifix." Dare try to infiltrate the headquarters of Umbrella to try stealing our new plans and the newest form of the T-virus, do we, Ms. Valentine. I propose you think of rescuing, Alice over here, our little creation." the voice declared slightly intrigued. The figure on the wall, struggled to escape the chains that secured her." You don't need to anymore" the voice sighed. It was noticeably a man's voice, the back of his head came into view, spitting at the chained Alice. The woman grunted attempting to flail back at the man but was unable.

The members watching the film stared in disgust at this figure, still unnoticed. He wore a trench coat; soon he began talking once more. "Ms. Valentine, you should never meddle with the corporation and without you're little undercover companion, you will never again" He softly announced followed by a low laugh. From his trench coat pocket he lifted a small hand gun, placing it on Alice's forehead. The beautiful woman showed no fear; she showed nothing but revenge and fury.

BANG.

The screen fizzled, the last part showing Alice's head loosely dangling and blood dripping from her forehead down. The screen soon went blank, a soft crackling noise coming from it.

The members stared in distraught, turning their heads abruptly, hearing a soft whimper behind them. Jill stood by the door, her hair lifelessly falling, as her eyes turned crimson and bitter and her frail hands clasp over her mouth. Leaning on the frame, she turned away from the members, her footsteps heard leaving quickly.

Chris walked toward the kitchen table as I snapped out of my thought; I took a seat next to him, examining the food set in front of me, eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee. "You guys got up late" Claire inspected. "Woo" Jill whistled, soon shutting her mouth at the seriousness of Claire. "Don't worry baby sister" Chris smiled, laughing to shake off the awkwardness.

"Hey hurry up guys, its 11:30 and the meeting is 12:45 and theirs only 2 bathrooms" Jill announced giving everyone a smile as she took a seat.


We were all around a long table, in the same room were Jill had heard the terrible news two years ago. Maybe this was why she acted so familiarly depressing; these feelings plagued her as my feelings for Billy plagued me. I could sense her uncomfortable demeanor as she took a seat in the mahogany chair. We chattered about, discussing this new mission we had to carry out, wondering what it could be. Barry emerged, closing the door as he dumped a pile of papers on the table.

"I apologize for the wait, I needed to re-read some files about our current suspects in custody" He sighed, wiping sweat away from his hair line. "Is that our case?" Claire asks excitedly, she had always enjoyed those types of cases. "No" Barry spoke as he heard the door open. Walking in were four people, one by one they emerged in view. "Leon" Claire blurted followed by Jill whispering "Carlos".

"These are you're other companions on your way to this mission "He smiled shaking the hands of the four adults. " This is Carlos Olivares, some of you know him "He smiled at the Hispanic man, his eyes fixated upon Jill. "Leon S. Kennedy, you all may know him too" He pointed at with his palm. Leon appeared much older and handsomer as he swayed from side to side. "And these two are new recruits, meet Joey Pilot and Lorraine Tenet". Joey stood tall, his muscular build appealing through his shirt, his ashy spiked hair designed with ruby highlights at the tip and his natural blush brushing on his golden smile. "He's originally from Britain, and meanwhile during this mission, you will try to help him as well as you can, and Rebecca, don't be to hard on him" He smiled at Rebecca as she pouted.

Lorraine smiled at the group, her dirty blonde hair glowing as she examined the group. They were all professionals, all battled during the fight with Umbrella, deep down she felt intimidated. She had a petite body with beautiful jade eyes.

"And this beautiful lady over here is a new recruit too from New Jersey, go easy alright "He grinned.

"Our mission" Jill insisted. "Yes the mission" He spoke cautiously. "Congratulations to all of you on the brave escapade that ended to the destruction of Umbrella" He smiled cheekily. "That was a year ago and you congratulate us now" Jill anxiously stated. The group stared at him, urging him to tell them the mission. "Um… well…This team must return to the site of the Umbrella destruction… and secure the area…because…. there is news that relative sightings of an Umbrella Scientist emerging from the ruins was seen, your mission secure the area and perimeter, make sure that Umbrella is completely destroyed and in the future they will never return." He sighed. "So we just return to Raccoon City, look around and leave, alright "Jill smiled. " No…um to the underground base, the hive…Raccoon City has already been secured but the underground lab has not, we need our best members to investigate that, sightings of umbrella members have been many, giving us the idea maybe Umbrella isn't completely destroyed." He corrected.


Jill's eyes turned angry and poignant, remembering the day when it had occurred. It was that day when they had destroyed the hive, the day it had destroyed her life.

Jill's POV : Flashback : 5 months after the murder of Alice

I had heard from Barry we had to infiltrate the hive and self-destruct it. I had agreed to go, knowing I might find Alice. After I had seen the tape I was distraught, but I knew she was too valuable to them to just be killed, so I sought to search for the truth.

That's why I agreed to go.

I, Chris, Rebecca, Leon and Claire were sent to infiltrate it. We were dropped on the top of the Mansion by a helicopter. This dreaded mansion, I never wanted to return but it had to be done, Leon and Claire had never been here, lucky for them. I jumped from down the helicopter, the earsplitting noise coming from the air-craft beginning to end. After we reached the hive, we would make our way up to the helicopter once more before we became part of the ruins.

I, Chris, Rebecca, Leon and Claire made our descend down carrying as much artillery we could carry. I had noticed a change in Rebecca after the death of that Coen guy. I never understood why, but neither did I understand my feelings for Alice. I knew she was alive, I could feel her presecne running cold in my blood, I just knew it. Chris instructed the group to separate and search for a way downstairs, so we followed and went .Maybe we should have spilt up into groups of two, but all that was on my mind was finding Alice. I began searching the bottom floor entering the so familiar dining room; I entered the door in there. The corridor was dark and eerie but I had gotten use to it. I began going down the hall, noticing there was an elevator. It seemed to function well, but the door wouldn't open ajar. I pried my fingers between the gap, it strained horribly.

I opened the elevator door, as a zombie lunged out grabbing my throat. Its pale cold fingers slicing into my neck, as I beckoned not to faint of fear. I was alone and I was unable to reach my handgun that slid to the other end of the room. I was terrified out of my mind, my screams left as a whisper, my heart was paralyzed as I tried to push the famished decomposition away as good as I could; its rotten teeth came nearer and nearer. I blindly fumbled around, searching for anything, I finally obtained hold of a pipe along the wall, it seemed loose, and so I yanked it off.

The top was sharp and edged so I lunged it at the zombies throat, tearing through its decomposed head and ending at the top of its skull. I was mortified of the scene, completely mortified.

I stumbled away from the beast, back-tracking towards my handgun I pushed my back against the wall, breathing heavily.

"You ok" I heard a voice say, Startled, I jumped at the hand that touched my shoulder. I pointed the gun upwards, ready to shoot, yet it was Chris, his face seemed worried." Just fine" I replied, breathing harder this time. "Didn't mean to startle you Jill" He assured. " Where's everyone else?" I asked, reaching out for his hand so I could stand. "Here" I heard a voice reply. Rebecca, Claire and Leon appeared from the darkness. "Good job Jill" Rebecca congratulated making her way around me to examine the elevator. She jumped at the sight of the zombie, blood spill all around the creature and the pipe that was erected from his skull. "Its okay baby" Chris reassured her, grabbing her arms. She blushed at the remark, stepping over the zombie. They've been dating for a year now, but I noticed Claire didn't feel comfortable and Rebecca as well. She still felt awkward when Chris kissed her or said sweet notions to her; I knew it was Billy's effect. I brushed off that thought quickly, I had no time to think about Rebecca and her mysterious relationship with the serial killer himself, I needed to focus on Alice and locate her.

Us, five headed down the elevator, it was a safe ride, and then we were at the facility. We stayed quiet, very stealth-like. The walls were pure white, so white it seemed like heaven, and then the room went gray and hospital like. There were several rooms. We needed to go to the main control room and set of the self-destruct sequence. "Guys I have the map to this. Look follow me and if any of you spot any umbrella members, either avoid them or kill them, but don't make it obvious we're in their building. Alright, we do this quick and easy, let's go" He ordered, gesturing us to follow him. "Chris, you guys go. I need to go somewhere "I informed them. "Jill "He questionably declared. " I need to find someone" I explained with pleading eyes. He sighed and began walking toward the direction to the control room; the others blankly stared at me, soon following him.

Soon they were out of sight; I impassively searched the hallways with my eyes. There was no time to waste, so I began running towards any direction. The walls were white, an intoxicating white. I slowly turned the corner, my back against the wall.

There was nothing, another white hall with a door at the end. I began sprinting towards the door, in hope; luck would be by my side.

Click, click.

The door knob wouldn't turn, it was locked. I reached in my back thigh pocket, pulling out my aged lock pick. I began picking the lock, a few moments later, it was set ajar. It was a small room with a cot, desk and standing lamp. I felt the side of the wall, there was a switch, I flicked it open and the ancient lamp flickered open. I walked over to the desk, there were documents; Many perplexing documents. I brushed through them until I fell upon one that had caught my interest.

Dr: Spencer

Jan. 21 2003

: I came upon a woman lurking around in my corridors, searching through my drawers and file cabinets. She held my suitcase containing the new development of the T-virus. Then, I had become infuriated, when I had noticed this woman's face. Alice. She was my creation, including nemesis, she had killed my ally scientist and now she was stealing the T2-virus.I reached for the tranquilizer in my pocket before she had a chance to escape and murder me like she had done to my former ally, I had injected the tranquillizer in her neck; she slowed gradually and soon fainted. I needed my revenge.

Jan. 29 2003entry

: She has awakened from her sleep after my many dosages of tranquilizers and sleeping pills on the woman. While she was in slumber, I have injected the T2-virus in her bloodstream. It worked magnificently at first, but she was different, the virus declined on the zombification affect, only strengthening her; strengthening her magnificently. It was an odd affect; soon I had known her other ally in this infiltration to obtain the new data on the T2-virus, Jill valentine.

Feb.2 2003entry

: After completely entering Alice's thoughts, I see the great connection Alice and Jill have. I had removed the device from her brain and then came up with an ingenious plan to fake Alice's death and this I will do. I examined her data, and noticed that the T2-virus has given her the ability to heal from open wounds if not to deep. I had thought of injecting more into her complicated blood stream and attempt to shoot her through the head, wondering if the wounds would heal.

I video taped the actions to show Ms. Valentine, knowing this would ruin her hope of the graceful return of Alice; I knew Jill would make an attempt to rescue Alice, so I had to end it by altering Jill's thoughts, I needed to do more testing on Alice.

I chained the woman on the brick-like wall; she showed no fear, and how this angered me. One of our new members began filming as I did the obscene crime, how this made me laugh seeing the women's head dangle, blood spitting in all directions; how it would make me convulse knowing the reaction on Jill's face, when her beloved Alice would perish with no chance of return.

Feb. 13 2003entry

: Brilliantly she has recovered, but I doubt another blow like that, she will be alive again. The decline of the T-2 virus in her body is extremely perplexing. I have laid her in the storage located in the lab 134, it will take a week or so for her to fully recover, and that will give me enough time to conjure enough T2-virus to inject in her, since there are no more.

The last entry was recent. I knew she was alive, but I had to get her out of this soon, she had went through tremendous pain and a slight blow might destroy her completely, I couldn't lose her again.

I felt the door knob turn, my head flinched around and a man in a lab coat entered. "Valentine" He declared unsurprised. "Dr. Spencer?" I asked. He smiled at me; he didn't seem fearful or angered. "So Ms. Valentine, I suppose you have discovered the doings of the T-2 virus on Alice, I guess my plan has backfired of your return" He calmly declared. I backed away, halting into the desk as he neared me. He slicked his long brown hair, smiling deviously. " You were always a beautiful lady" He added as he caressed my cheek. I pushed his hand away in disgust, fiddling my hand in my back pockets, searching for my knife.

"Huh" I hissed as I felt a slight stinging in my abdomen "Take her to the lab 134, make sure she doesn't escape, if she does awken insert more tranqulizers in her blood stream, I would like to experiment on beautiful Valentine over here, do not fail me, orJoshua , you'll be the next guinea pig" He ordered as a younger man walked in the room, he placed the small needle back in his coat pocket. I felt weak, paralyzed in a way, soon everything went black and my consciousness failed me.


"Where is Jill?" Chris asked, fiddling with controls." I don't know" Claire answered holding a silent rifleas she and Leon stood guard near the door. "Knowing her, she'll be right back soon, no worries." Leon added. "Rebecca, I can't figure this out, come here" He ordered. Rebecca left her position on the computer seat and walked over to Chris, leaning over him she began fiddling with the controls as well. Soon she headed back to her computer seat and began fiddling with the computer. Chris sighed at her intelligence and neared her, leaning over her as well. "After I put in the code, we have 30 minutes until it self-destructs, but I need a different code so the alarm doesn't go off and the umbrella facility will have a surprise attack ".

An hour or so later, Rebecca set off the silent self-destruct sequence, but Jill had not retuned.

"I'll find her, you all leave" Leon said, hurrying out the door. They all agreed and made their escape.


Where am I? My eyes flickered open and I spotted a guard sleeping in the wicker chair; He had a go-tee, and bleach-blonde hair and an unmistakable scar on his left cheek.

I was laying down in a patient's table, in a thin dress.

All around me were tubes of specimen. I wondered where the others were, I wondered what had happened. I staggered up holding my dress together, as it billowed among mybare feet.I neared the guard, noticing there was tranquilizers on the desk in front of him, I grabbed them and injected it in his neck. His eyes flickered open, soon closing.

"Anyone else here "I asked blankly, staggering into one of the tubes. " Alice….ALICE" I yelled staring inside the green tube.Was I dreaming ? Could this be real ?Her frail body was scrunched up in the tube. I turned around and headed over to the computer station on the other side of the wall, I examined the board.

Close:: Open:: Drain/Fill Water::

I pushed the green button inscribed open; hoping it would open the cases and it had worked. A soft hissing noise permeated the room, and the cases slid open, water spilling all over the floor. I dashed over to Alice's tube and caught her before she had fallen on the linoleum. Her body was thin and naked, her eyes were closed and there was no sign of a pulse .I shook her about and she had coughed out the algae-like water. "Jill" She whispered. "It's me" I smiled kissing her forehead lightly." Where am I?" She asked drearily. "You're alive" I happily said, helping her over to the patient's bed and then scurrying to find some clothing. I came upon another one of those white dresses and handed it over to her.

"We need to find the others" I told her as she fitted the dress, I tried to avert my gaze, not wanting to stare at her in her privacy. "I don't feel good" She weakly announced, finished with her dressing. I walked over to her and lovingly brushed away the blonde hair that crossed her face. "Don't worry" I assured her, as I heard the white double doors, spring open." Leon"I sighed in relief" We have to leave, there's only five minutes left, before the self-destruction sequence happens." He announced checking his watch. "But it never alarmed us, nothing went off" I questioned. "Rebecca is a mastermind, silent self destruct sequence" He remarked.I giggled a bit, humored by how easy this mission would be, how wonderful Alice was finally be back in my life, how perfect this moment of thinking I had. " And this is Alice?" He smiled. "Prettier than I thought" He complemented. "Leon…" I sighed, angered by his flirtatious ways. "Sorry" He apologized, grabbing Alice in his arms and hurrying out as I followed.

We had not come upon any umbrella members, thank god; we hadn't crossed any of their mutated demons either. Alice was weak, I knew, we had to handle her carefully as we hurried around the large facility heading toward the landing pad.

We had reached the helicopter pad, but then I heard an odd noise. It wasn't the whirring of the helicopter, it was a devilish growl. I noticed extended nails breaking through a broken elevator in the far corner, its metal doors being torn apart. "Tyrant "I whispered in fear. This creature was alive, still alive. I thought I had completely destroyed it. "Run" Leon declared, as he hurried toward the helicopter. I followed, but before I could reach it, I felt the creature land in front of me; a cosmic thud caused me to stagger. I fell on the floor, back-tracking frightened. Its body was massive and grotesques, as it leaned over me, growling curiously. Its extended nail clawed through the bottom of my dress, nearly missing me, it neared, and death was now my only opponent.

This mission was so perfect, we were so near to our escape, why had life turned it's back on us, why had it stabbed me in the back?Why did it unmercifully ruin my life, my pride, my hope?

"Tyrant" I heard a weak voice scream attempting to grab the dangerous creature's attention. I noticed that voice, it was Alice's. She was trying to save me, why? She staggered out of Leon's hold, on the pavement floor. The door to the helicopter was still open ajar. "Jill, Alice, come here, hurry" I heard Leon scream.

Tyrant turned his gruesome face and neared Alice. I was unable to move, I couldn't lose Alice; not again.Near-death was where I was, but she, she had willingly, litterally sacrificed her well-being for mines. Tyrant seemed stronger, any opponenet defying him, he litterally rallied all his strength, focusing it all to the one defying him.

She was too weak to battle against tyrant; a single blow would kill her. I attempted to rise, but my legs weakened. Alice evaded tyrant and ran to my side, as the devilish beast leaped near us. She began lifting me towards the helicopter.

Tyrant began running speedily towards us, the wind blew gracefully as we both began staggering towards the helicopter. "Hurry guys "Leon announced, checking his watch. "There's 2 minutes left" He said. The helicopter took lift slowly. "No wait a minute "Chris pleaded the Pilot. " I'm not going to die "He cowered.

We were so near, Leon even thought so, our escape was so sure.

Tyrant then leaped in front of us, blocking our path. "Alice…get out of here" I pleaded her, as I saw the escape ladder drop down from the helicopter. "Not without you "She weakly said. They say before death, you visualize your life and I did. She was my life, my hope, she was everything to me.

"I love you "She told me, kissing my cheek lightly. I hadn't known what she was thinking, I had no idea. What other way out did we have now?

Tyrant's massive claw began rushing towards the two of us; I braced for the impact, but felt none. It was just a whiff of air that passed me, confusion stirred around me, confusion and fret.

I opened my eyes, realizing the claw pierced Alice's stomach, blood tearing through her dress. "I'll... always be...be...be with you... "She weakly ended, as her eyes flickered shut. I watched the creature bring her to the floor, tugging to pull his massive claw away from her body. Then I knew she was gone, gone forever. I let her die… It was my fault. I killed the only person I cared about, and then I just left that day. I left like a coward; I left her to die in Tyrant's grasp.

As I watched from the helicopter's view, I had seen the building being destroyed, being obliterated to nothingness. The embers visible from a far view, still to this day I blame myself for what had happened. The scars will never be healed, and my memory of you will never be forgotten.
