Author's note: O.O I can only gasp when I see how many reviews I've gotten over the week...wow! This story is digging deeper into the plot I have thought up and is there is yet another twist, woot woot! After suffering from sneezing and sniffling for a whole week and coughing my head off, it is finally getting better and I have thought up many more ideas for this story (it's amazing what sickness can do to you) Anyways here's chapter 21, ta ta!

You have me still because I'm breathing,
Although it has slowed down.
Please don't cry because I'm leaving.
I hope I see you soon.

Exchange the sunshine for brown eyes and dark skies,
Replace this dull life with you.
I Know it's tomorrow,
She's waiting for something to feel alive.

How long is the night?

Chapter 21

Feelings of doubt and determination

September 27, 2004

The quiet noise of the rain boucing off of the vehicle was the only sound that filled the interior of the truck. Michael was in the backseat across from Ashley and watching the landscape change before his eyes. From time to time Leon and Barret would often have a short, simple conversation before silence consumed them all.

They all knew what was coming up and not one of them was looking forward to seeing what lay in store for them.

Always on the lookout, Leon drove on, leading the other trucks and the people inside to the enemy. He was in a gloomy mood today, it must of had something to do with all the rain. Leon was content on getting to Ada and time. To hell with all the risks that were involved, he would just have to take them in order to defeat Wesker and his virus infested followers.

The truck traveled down the small dirt road. The vehicle behind Leon started to speed up and once it was directly beside the truck that they were riding in, Leon pulled over and got out. The other driver did the same and all the other trucks stopped also and waited for whatever was happening to be over.

"What are we going to do when my truck runs outta gas? It's almost out and I don't see no city or town for miles."

"You'll just have to wait," Leon turned around and went back inside the truck. He wasn't in the mood to argue and didn't want to stand out in the rain for any longer. When he saw that the driver was still standing outside, Leon rolled down his window and called out to him. "You might want to start your truck back up. We'll find a town soon enough."

The driver went back and everyone was once again on travelling down the road to who knows what.

Meanwhile in the city where Leon and the others were headed, things were going chaotic.

News had spread about the enemy closing in. Several "people" had attempted to leave the remade city, but they were shot down by the gaurds, who were told to shoot them by no other than Wesker.

Everyone was on edge, they knew what was going to happen. Aside from the creatures posing as "normal" human beings that were trying to escape from this abrupt news, there were others who were willing to assist in the exterminating of the survivors.

The pearl white buildings that housed the creatures were slowly being emptied. When the plan on escaping failed, many of them went into hiding. The white garbage cans that each had the umbrella logo painted onthem soon became new homes for the ones who thought they were smart enough to escape when the garbage trucks carried the garbage away. Little did they know that Wesker had already prepared for this and had the garbage go through several razor-sharp threaders before going to the makeshift dump located on the far west side of the town.

So with the population becoming lower and lower, Wesker and several others that were in the tight circle that he had created, were losing all their hard work and their anger increased when they had found chewed up corpses at the garbage dump. They had taken away the garbage cans and anything that was brought to the dump. They tightened the security around the city and now kept all the remaining test subjects in the biggest building they could find.

Now that everyone was in one place under the most crucial watch they could manage, the people with a more higher status began to zero in on the bigger problem at hand. They quickly built up a defense system and were awaited the arrivial of all the poor victims that had suffered from either the T-virus, G-virus, or the Infinity virus. They were to subdue them as quick as possible then have them ready for the arrivial of Leon and whoever else he brought with him.

And so as everything was being prepared and the morning tured into the afternoon, with the "sun" shinning down brightly, Ada began to count the days down until Wesker's demise.

She was currently sitting in the corner of the very dark office building. Having freed herself from being bound to the chair that was now thrown across the other side of the room, Ada could roam around freely. Several times she had tried to open the blinds that covered the window, but every time she tried Ada was unsure if she wanted to do it or not. She didn't favour looking down upon a city full of freakish test subjects and nothing but the blinding white buildings for miles.

As her hand snaked up to pull them open, she heard faint sounds of some one's footsteps. Quickly, Ada stepped away from the window and ran to the other end of the room where she sat in the chair and placed the ropes around her wrists to make it look like she was still tied up. Then she closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping as the door opened and Wesker appeared.

Ada lightly cracked open an eye and watched as he lowered something to the floor and walked out. Just as she was about to get up and grab it, the door swung open and Wesker stood there with an evil grin on his face.

"So you managed to get out of your bindings did you?"

Ada didn't say anything, at this moment she felt like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming vehicle travelling at very high speeds with Wesker behind the wheel, and let me tell you that wasn't a good thing, but you should already know that.

"Silent I see, well it doesn't matter if you managed to get out, you won't be able to escape out of here anyways. The door can't be broken and the window is shatter proof."

Some one is paranoid, Ada stopped herself from snickering. She watched as Wesker turned around and shut the door, locking it once he was outside.

Ada let the broken ropes slide off her wrists. She stood up and walked over to the thing that Wesker had dropped off before. It was a small tray of food with a note that had something scribbled down on it.

Your days are running short.

If Kennedy doesn't hurry up, your life won't be spared for even a second.

Do not try to escape, your attempts are lame. Even if you do try you will punished severly and the amount of damage you sustain willbe cut short because I have more control over you, than you do yourself.

You've been warned.

Ada tossed the note to the ground and watched as it drifted to the ground as if in slow motion. She turned her back to the chair and the food that lay untouched behind it and made her way over to the window.

Her hand rested on the blinds that were covering the window. Ada wrapped her fingers around the ends so that her fingers were up against the glass. With one effortless pull, Ada let the blinds fling up at a fast speed as she quickly closed her eyes as if she was afraid of the world outside.

When she heard the fold up at the top and silence emitted throughout the room, that was when Ada decided to open her eyes only to slits. When she faintly saw the white buildings and not some picture plastered there, she fully opened her eyes and was blinded by the light for she had not seen light since she was thrown in here days ago.

The buildings was the least thing she cared about at the moment. Right now Ada's eyes were trained on the empty city that lay below. She saw not one being wandering around. Ada then quickly felt around the window for some sort of opening so she could get some fresh air and also have somewhere where she could stick her head out and try to hear and conversations, although that would be hard considering the fact that she wasnine stories above the ground.

Her search for finding something, anything, had been a failure. Ada slumped down to the ground and got a good, new look at the room that she was currently lock up in. She saw everything was basically the same, except this time there was a little more colr. But then again this was where Wesker had his office before she was thrown into it and there wasn't any surprise that this room held no color at all, just black and a little bit of white.

Just as Ada's eyes fell on the far end of the room something flashing caught her attention. She got up and moved close to the side of the wall just incase. When she was just under it she found that it was a camera, so that's why Wesker knew she had gotten out.

Ada searched the room for a sharp object and found the item that she had used to cut through the rope; a broken piece of metal taken from an object that she had found on the floor earlier and had struggled for hours on end to pick it up with her hands bound.

When she had the sharp thing firmly in her hands, Ada stood up and cut the wires on the camera. She looked around the room adn found several others. When that was all done she took the little knife like thing and hid it, then picked up the chair and began to throw it up against the window as quietly as she could, but it was hard from doing so.

The only progress she made was a dint in the window. It was fairly deep, just deep enough so that there was at least half a centimeter left before she could get through. When she took another swing at the door, Wesker burst through the door with a gun in his hand.

The chair Ada was holding fell to the ground with a thud once it smashed against the window one more time. She dropped to the floor when Wesker advanced and backed up against the wall.

"Did you not read that note?"

"Yes," Ada spat.

"And what did you do to my cameras?" Wesker asked. He turned to them and inspected the cut wires that came out of the walls. "Where is the thing you used to cut them?"

"I lost it," Ada lied.

Wesker was in front of her so fast that Ada had no chance to shun away from him. He grabbed her by the throat with one hand and held the gun to her head with the other.

"Don't try your luck with me."

Ada kicked and tried to pry Wesker's hands off of her neck, but his hands were too strong and he continued to strangle her.

"L-l-let g-g-go," Ada kicked more and more, trying her best to direct a kick towards Wesker's stomach, but her feet kept on falling short.

Wesker stiffed an evil chuckle and threw Ada to the floor. When she struggled to get up he landed a swift kick directly into her face that sent her crashed into the wall behind her, leaving it brutally dinted.

Ada coughed, feeling something come up her throat. The bitter taste of copper suddenly filled her mouth. Ada coughed up crimson colored blood and slowly, very slowly got up and leaned against the wall for support. She looked at the locked door and then to the ruined cameras and back to the window. With the dint in both that wall and the glass, there was more than one way toescape and she was willing to do whatever it took to get out.

The rooftops of an upcoming city could be seen through the windsheild as the windsheild wipers cleared away the rain. Leon sat behind the wheel looking as bored as ever, but he was glad that they would be stopping for a while.

As the trucks got closer to the city, they noticed that it was just made up of a bunch of facilities. Their dark, gloomy forms covered every inch of earth for miles. There were no lights on in the buildings and everyone got thefeeling that something just wasn't right about this place.

And how right they were...
