"And they said he was in the bsaa?"
Piers laid down on the ground, confused. His vision was blurred, as he tried to open his eyes. He could taste blood on his lips. What had happened? Last he had known, he was in hospital recovering...and then everything went black. Piers tried picking himself up but yelped in pain. Looking around as his vision adjusted, he tried taking in the surrounding scene.
The ground was damp below him. He was surrounded by trees, and small streams. He could hear birds singing around him, as he struggled to his feet.
Piers squinted his eyes when he saw an object laying on the ground, it was a body. When he stumbled closer he could tell it was a female, her arm was twisted at a peculiar angle - and her breathing looked nonexistent. Piers felt a sudden rush of adrenaline kick in as he limped over to her body. He got down on his knees and put his ear to her heart. It was a faint beat, not a good sign. He tried to wake her.
"Oh god..." He panicked as he looked around. Piers spotted a road into the woods, down a hill. It'd be a struggle to get up there, and if he did manage to get up there, it was a risk. Someone or a something could be lurking on the other side.
Piers heard a chilling laugh, the sound a Disney villain would make, coming from close by. Lifting his head up he heard footsteps, and he knew someone was coming. He knew they didn't have much time. He had to think, but nothing came to. Desperately, he picked up the girl and started limping deeper into the woods. It was safer than staying there.
The woods got progressively more dark as they continued, more and more of the sunlight being blocked out by tress. Piers heard the snapping of twigs behind him, he knew someone was in pursuit...and as time passed, he was running out of ways to escape.
He just had to think! Why couldn't he think? He paused as he saw a knocked down tree that was hollowed out. Clearing his throat, he went over to it and hide the girl, covering it up with anything he could get his hands on. Crawling next to the girl, Piers held his breath as he sensed someone approach even closer.
Chris had previously warned him, and suggested having guards posted at the hospital to stop a situation like this from happening. They all knew that a new Umbrella copycat group was trying to earn its stripes, and getting hold of anyone who was living with traces of the C-Virus would definitely do that.. Piers couldn't let himself be subjugated to that - no matter what. Who knew what these people would do, who knows how any of it worked? A few days, Piers had been talking about leading a normal life, and now he was neck deep in shit. He shuddered at the thought of who was looking for them. This motivated him even more to protect himself and the girl he had just found.
