Author's note: Holly crap I'm almost at 100 reviews and I'm only on chapter 15! This story of going to totaly out-review my other story for sure. Math is finally over for the year cheers the final was 18 pages long and took me right into second period but I didn't miss anything so who cares. Anyways I have finally got rid of Ashley, though sadly it is only for a short time, but I needed a break and she really doesn't have no part in this chapter so bleh. Here's the next chapter!

In the time of death our hearts bleed,

For the soul lost in the death river's reeds.

Remain here forever, suffer less pain

In the forest of darkness there is a light

One that'll guide you throughout the night

Fate has you tied.

We will fail to bring you back,

no matter how hard we try.

How long is the night?

Chapter 15

The underground lab

This first thing Leon felt when he woke up, was the major pain that ran throughout his body. He tried to open his eyes and only sucessfuly managed to make tiny slits, which caused him to see almost nothing at all. He moved an arm and moaned from the seering white hot pain that coursed through his chest.

Hemade his eyes open more, so that now he could see the room that he was in.

It was still the president's room. The chair was left the way that it had been since the last time Ada had gotten out of it. The room was still dimmed and the door was still open from Wesker leaving with Ashley.

The quick memory caused Leon to bolt upright, sending enough pain through him to topple over even Wesker himself. He did his best to ignore it and stood painfully up on his shakey legs.

Leon made his way over to the chair and sat down. He waited until most of the pain had subsided before he turned his head to the side and glanced out the door and into the gloomy, vacant hallway.

He reached down to grab his gun, but found that it wasn't there. Then he remembered where it had been thrown. Leon got out of the chairslowly and began to inch his way towards the gun. When he reached it he dug around in his pockets for some ammo and quickly reloaded it. Then Leon made his way towards the door. He didn't care how much pain he was enduring right now, he had to get Ashley back.

The hallway was completely empty, there wasn't even a sign that Ashley had tried to struggle out of the gray man's grasp. It was creepy.

Leon cautiously walked down it, gun out and ready to shoot anything that moved if he had to. He checked every room, closet, bookshelf, and stairwell, but found nothing. There was no sign of anything around here.

Upstairs, Leon had come across the room that overlooked the front lawn. He peered out the windows and saw nothing except the little amount of damage that had occured to the city.

Leon could hear something like the sound of heels on the hardwood floor. He spun around and pointed his gun at the intruder. He brought it down once he realized who the person was.

It was Ada.

"Anything the matter?" She asked.

Leon looked at her weird. The last time that he had seen her she was dead looking and quiet, now she looked alive and well.

"What?" She stared at back at Leon. "What's wrong?"

"I thought you were under Wesker's control."

"What?"

"Don't you remember?"

"I don't remember anything, why do you ask?"

"You're telling me that you can't remember a thing that happened last night?"

Ada shook her head.

"The plaga?" Leon asked.

She raised a hand and ran a finger down the scar that was on her face. She looked at the ground, trying hard to remember something, anything, but came up with nothing. She looked up at Leon and shook her head.

She just couldn't remember.

"Where's Ashley?"

"The girl?"

"Yeah."

"In the lab, getting some experiment done on her. Something to do with that newest virus that Wesker and the other's have come up with. She's a good test subject, that's what they said."

"Where's the lab?" Leon demanded.

"Somewhere around here." Ada turned around and walked away.

Leon grabbe her by the shoulder and spun her around. He wanted to know and he wanted to know now.

"I said where is the lab, and give me clear answers."

"Hmm..."

Right now Leon felt like slapping her across the face, but stopped himslef. Instead he let go of her shoulder and stared her right in the eye, letting all his anger be visible in them. He could wait for the answers, but not for long.

"Where is it Ada?"

"Underground. It connects to the hospital so they can access medical items without being caught."

"Take me to it."

Ada smirked. She froze when Leon brought his gun up and pointed it at her head. She heard the gun make a click noise as he was getting ready to pull the trigger if she refused to do what she was told.

"Take me to it now."

Ada turned her head so that the gun was pointing directly at her forehead. She looked at Leon and smirked once more.

"You wouldn't shoot me, now would you Leon?"

"I could shoot you a million times right now, I'm so angry. Now move!" He pushed the gun into her forehead, causing her to turn around and begin walking.

They passed several meeting rooms and very ancient looking ones too. The floor made a creaking noise as they walked down the hallways, making their way to the bottom floor.

Ada and Leon were silent the whole way. Leon was debating if he should trust her or just leave and find the lab on his own. Ada was having a silent battle with the voice that was screaming inside her head to finish Leon off, but she refused to. She was going to take Leon to the lab, then leave so she wouldn't be ordered to do stuff that she didn't want to do.

When they reached the bottom floor, Leon looked around. He could see the outside buildings and streets. He looked to the side at a little loby area and made sure that nobody was watching them. Leon still followed Ada, now unsure of where they were going.

"How do you access the lab from here?" He asked.

"A hidden elevator."

They walked down a long hallway there was nothing but the wall in front of them.

Ada pulled a small picture off of the wall, giving out the hiding spot of a numbered square. She punched in a code then waited until they both heard a beeping noise. After it stopped Ada turned around and lead Leon into a side room.

There was nothing in it except a door on the far wall and a couple of chairs and tables in the middle.

Ada walked up to the door and brought out a ring of keys. She put one in the door lock and opened it once she heard a click.

Leon and Ada boared the elevator, taking it down to unimagined levels. When the light on the ceiling flashed red the doors opened and reveiled a bright white room. They stepped out and Leon brought the gun down from the back of Ada's head.

Ada turned around and grabbed something from her waist. She tossed it onto the ground, creating an extremely bright light. She turned around and ran away, deep into the lab.

"Damn," Leon muttered.

He looked around the white room and found a door. He opened it up and walked through it and into a dark hallway that had little windows on the walls, a red light glowing just above each one.

Leon looked into the first one. There were blue tubes extending from the ceiling down to the floor. He looked closer and made out large forms in each of them. They were all connected to wires and tubes that all came from the top of each tube that they seemed to be floating in.

Leon looked around and saw another hallway where the door was that lead into the room with the tubes. He turned the doorknob but he found that it was locked so Leon turned around and went to another door across the hallway and opned it becuase someone had left it open.

There were more tubes with what looked like humans inside them. Leon walked over to one and saw that the being had very pale skin. There were cuts all over its body and the eye lids had little rips in them.

Leon then studied the tubes that were going to the body. There was one going into its mouth that was most likely oxygen. Another one went into its left wrist and had a brownish liquid going into it but Leon couldn't determine what exactly it was.

As he continued to study it, Leon saw the eyelids flutter for a moment, then they snapped open and he found himself staring into dead, vacant eyes.

Leon began to walk away when it started clawing at the glass and thrashing back and forth, trying to get rid of the tubes. Its dead eyes stared at Leon with intentas itcrashed into the tube one more time, shattering the glass.

With his gun raised at the thing, Leon slowly walked backwards. He stopped when he bumped into the wall.

The thing sauntered forward, making sickened noises. It was about two feet from Leon when it lunged forward, but was met with a bullet that went straight into its head. The thing fell to the floor, its clotted blood spraying everywhere.

Leon turned around and headed out the door. He walked down the black hallway until he came to a dead end. Then he noticed something sticking out of the wall, it was a doorknob painted black.

He tried to open it but it was locked so Leon shot it off. He opened the door and stepped into a very white room lined with all sorts of medical supplys and weird machinery.

As he surveyed the room he saw a chair in the far right corner. Leon walked up to it and spinned it around.

He quickly checked the room for anyone of any threat when he found Ashley in the chair, tubes going into her wrists and unconcious.
