Chapter 2: Jill Valentine

Cars collided with other cars, people screamed in fear as they one by one got bit by the supposedly insane bastards of Bayville. Cops handcuffed those who were covered in blood and biting and scratching violently at others. Little did they know that they soon will become just like them.

Cars suddenly exploded and buildings caught on fire, while the havoc that reigned upon the city spread rapidly through each person. A woman screamed in pain as she fell to the ground dead, her body covered in bite and scratch marks. Before long she became a mindless zombie chasing after the living creatures hungry for their flesh.

At the Institute the children cuddled in a group scared out of their minds. What was going on? Why was everyone acting violently towards one another? Would they be next?

These questions flooded the minds of the teenagers and adults as well, but they couldn't show their fear. They watched as the security devices shot as these monstrous creatures. They watched as their bodies fell to the ground and get back up until they finally reached the enlarged windows.

They banged on the windows huddling against them, trying so hard to get the living beings inside of the mansion. Xavier sat still in his wheelchair staring at the zombie like creatures with his calm eyes.

"The glass will give way soon. Scott take the kids to the hidden tunnels. Jean go with them. Keep them safe, and don't let them scratch or bite you."

Jean nodded and her, Scott, and the children ran away towards the hidden tunnel that led to the X-Jet.

"Professor…do you think this happened…?" Amber was cut off from her question.

"Yes Amber…I believe these creature flooded New Orleans and Hollywood. And whoever is responsible for it, are the ones who let these creatures loose…"

"What are we going to do?"

Suddenly the windows busted loose and glass went skidding across the ground. Everyone stood in their battle position watching as over a dozen of this creatures crawled inside through the windows. One of them was a young boy. He walked on his broken ankle with absolutely no signs of pain. Logan looked to the professor.

"We should get you out of here Professor…"

"Yes…I have faith in all of you…that you will become successfully and stop the people behind this. I will leave with the children and Scott and Jean. Please do your best and don't hesitate to kill them…they may look human, but I guarantee they are not alive…"

With that said Xavier was wheeled away by Hank; Ororo not to far behind him. Leon frowned and brought his attention to the hording zombies that seemed a little too close for comfort. Even took out his spikes and blasted them towards the zombies. The spikes went through the zombies stomach, but to everyone's surprise it was still alive.

"No way! That should have killed him!"

"Sorry, but it didn't…" Leon commented.

"So how do we kill them?"

There were three gunshots and three of the zombies surrounding the Institute fell down and didn't get back up. Evan and the others who were staying to fight stared in confusion. How did that happen?

A woman stood in the distance catching some of the zombies attention. As they came toward her, she lifted her gun into the air and pulled the trigger. They too found their deaths by the mysterious woman.

"Now that's my kinda woman…" Gambit said excited, "Hot and good aim…"

Amber let out a slight sigh, "Everyone's your woman…"

Gambit perked a brow at Amber and smiled that devious and crooked smile of his, "You jealous?"

"Yeah…I wanna kick her ass so bad because I'm madly in love with you…" Amber said sarcastically, "You're a whore ok…besides I'm sure that I'll find someone who likes me that I like back one day…"

"And if you don't?"

"Then I'm single for the rest of my life…"

Leon went to make a comment, but kept his mouth shut knowing he would get hit for it. The woman made her way to the window, killing zombies as she came upon them. She was soon climbing through the broken window with Remy's help. She gave him a thankful smile before staring at everyone else.

"You gotta injure their spine, break their neck, or shoot them in the head."

"How do you know so much about these things…"

The woman didn't reply. She just stared at Amber confused.

"Who are you and what else do you know?" Amber asked, out of curiosity about the origin of the Zombies.

"My name is Jill…Jill Valentine…I used to work for a group called S.T.A.R.S. These things are the living dead. They are infected with the T-virus."

"T-Virus?" Amber asked interested in what Jill was saying.

"The T-virus is a biological weapon. For approximately thirty minutes it is airborne infecting everything in its path, when the person or thing that is infected dies it reanimates the blood to make them the living dead. If you are bit or scratched by them you are infected, and without the antivirus you too will become one."

"Where did it start?"

"It all started at the Hive, a secret organization that studied biological experimentation. There was an accident, and the virus escaped. Everyone died, and a S.T.A.R.S. team was sent down to investigate. They were the best of the best, and all but two people died. People were sent to see what happened, but the zombies in their escaped, and ran through the woods. I was one of the few survivors to make it out, but the virus spread to fast and all of Raccoon City was infected. Only five people escaped Angela, Alice, Carlos, some guy, and me. Raccoon City was destroyed, and Umbrella covered up the truth saying the city was destroyed because of a nuclear accident. I won't let them get away this time."

Amber walked up to her, "Is that what happened in Hollywood and New Orleans?"

"Yes…and from contacts a man named Hyvel is behind all of this."

"Hyvel? What is he doing with a virus this deadly?" Leon asked angrily.

"I don't know, but we have to stop him." Jill said.

"There's more coming from the gates!" Leon said shocking one of them, "Look it's cooking…"

Amber looked at Leon and smiled, "You know…maybe we should pay more attention to the zombies coming at us than the one that's smoking."

Leon looked at her, "But it's cool…"

"I know. But distractions like that could get you killed one day, and I know you know that."

"Yeah, I know…hey…what about Kva. Do you think he's ok?"

"He learned from the best. So he should be." Raine said her hands glowing pearly white, "Now lets destroy these things."
