Hey guys this is my fourth chapter. I know the Red Queen probably wouldn't say some of this stuff but I thought it would be amusing if she did. Also, there's some quite graphic deaths at the end of the chap, so if you get squeamish I suggest you don't read them.
Explanations
It was the Red Queen.
"Wow! Pretty light!" Red reached forward to touch the flickering lights.
"No Red! Don't touch the pretty light!" DL grabbed her and pulled her back.
Then the Red Queen turned her head sharply to the side (like she did in the film), "I'm not just a light you know."
The group jumped in alarm and Red let out a small squeal. The Red Queen sighed, "Anyway what are you doing down here? What makes you think you can succeed any better than the others?"
"Hey, that's not fair. Stop being such a scone."
"Oh, I'm really offended now."
Red pouted and went over into a corner to sulk.
"Wait a minute..." Higgy said, "Earlier you mentioned another group, what did you mean?"
"The other group who came before to try and seal off the Hive."
They all gave her blank looks, "Huh?"
She sighed, "Right, before all of this, the Hive used to be a secret science facility. The main project they were working on was a virus, which could not only kill someone off but after they were dead would have a side effect of bringing them back as a zombie, they thought they could harness this power but they were wrong. A man called Spence Parks released the virus within the facility and infected all of the scientists and people working here. I was programmed to kill off anyone infected with the disease, which I did therefore actually increasing the number of zombies. Then a team was sent in to seal the Hive off, they succeeded, killing most of them in the process. Meaning that the zombies have been stuck down here for over 10 years, with them craving food all of the time, they have started turning in on themselves, eating each other.
There was a shocked silence.
"Yummo"
"Spam!" Mel whacked Spam up the back of the head.
Em stifled a laugh and spoke up, "Come on guys, we better go and finish what we started."
The others nodded and began to walk out. The Red Queen watched them and when they were all gone she whispered, "Good Luck" Then the lights flickered and disappeared completely.
Suddenly they saw a door. The first to be seen so far along the deserted corridor. Em and DK, who were the closest to it, pushed it open. They peered through the doorway. It lead to a white corridor.
"It's empty" said Em
Drawing her gun, DK stepped cautiously into the corridor. Em followed. The rest of the group watched them slowly creep down it. Seeing that they were safe, Spam made to follow through the doorway, but the door suddenly swung shut and slammed in her face.
"What the hell?" Spam muttered, glancing over the door, trying to see why it had shut. The group all murmured in surprise and concern. Mel turned and looked back along the way that they had come; hoping the noise from the door would not lead anything to them.
Inside the corridor, Em and DK ran back to the door. Em tried to pull it open, but it wouldn't budge. DK began to pound on the window.
"Who the fuck did that!? Open the fucking door!" She yelled.
"It wasn't us" cried Maz defiantly.
"Get us outta here! NOW!" DK was starting to get hysterical.
"Dude, calm down. Mel's working on it." Replied Maz
DK slid down to the floor, her back resting against the door. Em crouched down next to her.
"Hey it's ok! We'll be out any minute now." She said trying to comfort her friend.
Suddenly Spam's face popped up from behind the window. "Uh, Guys? This might take a while..."
DK gave Em an ironic look, and couldn't help but grin.
"...yeah, so, er, just hang on, 'k? Guys?" Spam peered through the window, trying to locate DK and Em. Em stood up and smiled at Spam. "Whatever, just hurry up. It's really cold in here."
Spam nodded and disappeared from view. Em turned and looked down the corridor.
"DK?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"We're dumb. Look," Em pointed down the corridor. DK pulled herself to her feet and stared down the corridor. At the end of the corridor, which wasn't very far, was a door, similar to the one they were standing next to.
"Thank the fucking lord!" said DK. She began to make her way towards the door.
"Hang on, we don't know what it opens to!"
DK stopped and rolled her eyes, while Em looked out of the window again. She squinted; there was no-one there. "Uh-oh"
"What?"
"Err...where've they gone?"
"Huh?" DK ran back to the door and also looked out of the window. "Guys?" she yelled. "Hellooo?" Suddenly Morlena appeared. "You called?" she asked.
"Where were you?" asked Em.
"There's a computer...thing just around the corner. Spam and Mel are just working on opening the door."
"There's another door in here." Said DK. "We're gonna see if we can open it."
"Er, ok. See ya in a bit then." said Morlena, disappearing again.
Em looked at DK and shrugged. They walked over to the door. "Dammit, it needs a code..." muttered DK. She ran back to the first door. "Lena! It needs a code! Do you know what it is?" Morlena looked through the window. "Err...hang on..." She disappeared and was replaced by Mel.
"Hey. The code you need for that door is 3 – 6 – 11 – 7. We can't get this one yet, but we'll keep trying."
"Whatever. Em? 3 – 6 – 11 – 7" said DK, turning back to Em. Em punched in the numbers into the pad, and jumped out of the way as the door swung open. "Wow! It worked!" she grinned.
"Oh course it worked, I just gave you the code." replied to Mel, who was still by the window.
"Yeah, but do we –" began Em, but she was cut off by the door slamming shut. She turned to glare at Mel. "You were saying?" she snapped.
"It's not my fault!" said Mel.
DK was about to answer, when suddenly they heard a buzzing noise. "What's that?" she asked.
"I don't......oh my god, move!" shouted Mel, as a glowing green line burst out of the far wall and headed for the two girls. They ducked and just in time, it passed over head without harming either of them. It continued to the first door, Mel squealed and jumped out of the way. Everybody else looked up to see what was going on.
"There's a friggin' laser in there!!" gasped Mel.
"What?" asked Higgy.
"There's a laser...shut it off! It's going to kill them!"
Spam's eyes widened and she started tapping at the computer keys. Higgy, Morlena and Mel ran to the door. Em and DK were both still alive; they were lying on the floor as another laser beam passed above them. Then it seemed to have finished. DK jumped up and ran back to the door. She grabbed the handle and began to desperately pull on it.
"Open the door, get us out of here!" she pleaded with her friends.
"We're trying! Keep calm!"
"How? Hurry up –"
"DK get down!" Em screamed. DK turned around just as a other laser beam headed right at her. It was about waist height, she made to jump out of the way, but she was too slow. The beam passed through her left wrist, and her hand fell to the floor. She collapsed, screaming and clutching at her mutilated arm.
"Oh my god!" Em crawled over to her friend. "Oh...shit..."
"Holy crap, what happened?!" asked Higgy.
"It cut her fucking hand off!" yelled Em.
"Fuck! Spam, hurry up!" Mel yelled at her friend.
"I think I've got it..." replied Spam.
DK heard her and scrambled to her feet. She was paler than usual; almost grey.
"DK, what are you doing?!" Em asked. "Bloody well get down!"
DK shook her head and waited patiently by the door. A tear trickled down her face. The three girls outside were begging her to get down, but she ignored them.
That was when the next laser beam appeared. Em screamed and ducked down. The beam turned vertical and cut through DK. The two halves of her body wobbled, then slowly slid to the floor. Outside the three friends winced and looked away; Spam looked up her features flooded with concern.
"What?" She was met with silence. She bowed her head. "It's too late, isn't it?"Higgy came back and sat down next to Red. "DK..." was all she could say.
"Em's still in there. We have to get her out, now!" said Mel. Spam turned back to the computer.
"Of course!" she muttered.
"Have you actually got it this time?" said Maz.
"...yeah. Think so...just a sec –"
"You don't have a sec Spam! Quickly!" said Higgy looked up from comforting Red, who had her head in her hands.
In the corridor, Em was sitting a few feet away from DK, sobbing.
"Em, we're getting you out of there!" said Morlena.
"Hurry up!" sobbed Em, rocking backward and forward, clutching her knees up to her chest. "I don't want to die!"
"There!" yelled Spam triumphantly. "Got it!" she punched the 'Enter' key hard. The large door creaked open a crack.
"Spam, it hasn't opened properly!" said Morlena.
"Crud" she began to type in another code.
Em noticed the door, and stood up. She stepped over DK, and began to pull on the door. On the other side, Morlena and Mel were trying to push it open.
Suddenly another beam burst out from the wall – nobody saw it. It made its way to Em. She screamed as it opened into sections and cut into her back.
Then everything stopped. The beam stopped. The beam disappeared, and the door swung open. Everybody jumped up and ran to the door.
"C'mon Em, get out!" said Morlena. "Em?"
Emma blinked, then turned around. Pieces of her flesh fell away from her body, and she fell down. She was dead before she hit the ground.
Everybody stared at the scene before them. Max made to run forward, but Red and DL held her back. She fell to the floor and burst into tears. Slowly, Higgy moved forward and pulled the door shut.
