Rayne
Rayne sat in her living room, listening to "Wasteland" by 10 years. All she had on was a pair of white socks, underwear, and a red button-down shirt that was too big for her. Her hair was wet and wasn't brushed. She was only 16 years old. On the coffee table in front of her was a folder titled "Raccoon City Genocide".
This incident happened 1 year ago. The government used a lame cover-up saying, "It was just a cult that had gone cannibalistic." But Rayne wasn't going to fall for it. For months she searched online, trying to find the truth. One night, she hacked into government files. After printing out the paper, she highlighted a few things that sparked her interests…
"Unauthorized experiments gone wrong…secret service raid killed 9 people…head scientist mutated himself…experiment called "t-virus" spread because of rats…virus spreads like the Black Plague…"
Rayne found out vital information such as, if bitten or even eaten by the creature, you become one… a creature known as the G-virus is most dangerous. He can implant an embryo into your body, It has a large eye on one arm…easiest way to kill most creatures… shoot it in the head…the only thing good against G-virus… heavy artillery.
The government files provided more information and description than that, but Rayne highlighted the simple things. Ever since her parents and boyfriend died, she's had nothing better to do. It happened last month on prom night. Of course sophomores are not allowed unless invited but Rayne's boyfriend, Adrian, was a junior. On prom night, Rayne's parents offered to drive them to the prom and back. Rayne's corset dress was made of silk, and pure white. An ivy pattern trimmed the top of the corset and bottom hem of her dress. Her corsage had a white rose and small white flowers with green ivy wrapped up her left arm. Adrian wore a black tux, his dark hair was gelled and combed back, and blue eyes matched Rayne's. Rayne laughed when she first saw him because he looked like a mobster.
They arrived at the prom and the police checked to make sure he didn't have a gun. All night he was complemented. During the slow songs they would dance close, her head on his chest, and he would sing to her. The night was perfect…nothing could ruin it.
On the way home a group of drunken boys slammed head on into the front of Rayne's parent's car. Her parents died immediately, as did the boys. Rayne was unharmed, Adrian…unconscious. He spent a week in a coma…and Rayne never left his side. He only woke up once. Rayne was holding his hand and crying, the monitor stopped beeping. It took an army of nurses and doctors to drag her out of the room.
This is the last thing he said to her, "I love you Rayne…" his voice was only a hoarse whisper, "When they come…shoot their heads for me…be careful…I love you Rayne…" then he was gone.
Rayne just now understood what he was talking about. As the song changed to a new band called Mercy Fall, she shook her head.
"Is that what you meant Adrian?" she said allowed while rummaging through the folder, "Will that happen here? There's no way! Raccoon City is all the way on the other side of the U.S. It won't happen." But you can never be so sure.
