Memory 1.A.

Sonya

Sonya stood there in a frightening silence, clutching her necklace tightly.

It was a hot summer's day, and the sun shined mercilessly upon the inhabitants of Raccoon City. It was nice day, the kids ran playfully around their neighborhood, the parents talking among each other. Senior women sat on the porch knitting.

"Hi mom." Sonya said talking on her phone to mother. She was sitting in her patrol car, and she ate her lunch. "Yeah my shift is over in an hour...okay mom I'll be safe...okay mom I love you too...bye." Sonya hung up the phone. The woman looked around the scenery of the neighborhood. Nothing out of the ordinary. Sonya was supposed to be getting a new partner soon. It was said that a new police officer was to be transferred today and assigned as Sonya's partner. The female was anxious to meet her partner, hoping he was a cool person not mean. She also hoped that they got along well.

Her radio turned on, "Reese, there's been another cannibalistic murder." a dispatcher said uneasily through her radio. Fuck.

"Copy that, give me the directions." Sonya quickly threw the rest of her lunch into her bag, and texted her mother that she might be late for dinner again later tonight. Finishing with a 'I love you' at the end.

"Give me the directions to the crime scene." She started her car, turning on the lights and sirens.

"Copy that."

"Sonya-" There was a static, and then a buzz, Leon got cut off by his transmission ringing. He picked it up.

"Hello Leon, I'm Ingrid Hunnigan and I'll be your guide for this mission." A woman said on the other line.

"Okay." Leon, a little agitated because he got cut off from before.

"Leon I want you and Sonya to head to the village." Said Hunnigan.

"Okay...Leon out." He said to Hunnigan.

"Sonya-" Leon yet again got interrupted, but this time by Sonya.

"I heard her, we have to go to the village." Sonya to Leon, agitated. Sonya turned on her heels to walk away. Stopping she turned to Leon. "You comin'?" she asked nonchalantly.

Leon did a lifted his eye brows. This girl was really starting to piss him off. First yelling at him and then she wanting him to act like nothing just happened. Leon was furiously thinking to himself.

"Well are you coming?" Sonya asked this time with annoyance in her voice.

"Yea!" Leon follows Sonya outside to only find more Ganados. Sonya froze again. You know that same feeling with detestation. But, this time she came to her senses and shot them. Leon just stood there and glared at Sonya, it was a look of concern. Would she be able to finish this mission or no?

"What!" the woman snapped at Leon.

"Nothin' I was just looking." He said cooly with looking at the trail ahead. Sonya rolled her eyes at him.

"Whatever." there was a spark of sarcasm in her voice.

The duo was walking in utter silence the both of them drifting off into their own worlds thinking intently on things. Leon questioning about why Sonya almost cried. Sonya broke into a cold sweat, still while clenching her necklace tightly. The two was interrupted from their thoughts hearing a dog whine.

"You hear that?" Sonya asked Leon quizzically.

"Yeah." Leon glanced to the female.

Continuing down the trail there was a cute dog stuck in a bear trap. "Aww, you poor thing." Sonya was concerned for the animal. Taking the dog out of the bear trap, she rubbed his ears before it barked a 'thank you' to her. Soon after, the dog then scurried away into the woods.

"Be free!" the woman yelled to the dog.

Leon threw a grin, crossing his arms playfully. "What're you grinning for?" asked Sonya.

"Nothing, I just didn't think you had a soft spot for animals."

Sonya sucked her teeth. "Shut up."

Leon just glared and walked away, not saying one word. Sonya looked, rolled her eyes and just followed. Oh a piss party? They walked in awkward silence until they had seen more Ganado. The duo both hid behind a tree and watched them closely. Leon pulled out binoculars to observe the villagers. He handed the pair to Sonya when he was finished. "They act like normal people." Sonya confused, "Well what's the plan?" Sonya then asked Leon.

"We walk over there." Leon sounded too confident with his response. As if were that easy. As soon as they walked out there, all hell broke loose. The villagers started to scream and yell in their native tongue. Sonya understood what they where saying, and it wasn't pretty.

"Run!" Leon grabbing her hand in a haste. Running into a house, Leon had pushed the nearby cabinets in front of the lower floor door and window, while Sonya went to check upstairs. There was a shotgun there, loaded already. Bingo!

"Found a shotgun and some ammo." She yelled to Leon, she opened the gun's case to see exactly how many shells where in the gun. Six. Guess that's her lucky number for now. Sonya had strapped the shotgun to her back, then swiftly reaching to her lower legs where she keeps her combat knives. Close combat is one of her specialties. As Leon came up the steps she turned for him to grab the shotgun off of her back.

"Here you go. It has six shells. I guess our lucky number for this mission." she looked out the window, as a Ganado banged on the glass. They don't have much time. A ladder broke the other bedroom window, and they snapped their necks to look at it.

"Let's lock and load." Sonya walked up to the laser pushing it back and a Ganado fell backward to the ground instantly killing it. Sonya jumped out the window, starting her assault.

Ganado were coming in a large crowd. Sonya looked at a villager, side-stepping it and stabbing it in the back of its head. Another growled at her, and she tripped it as it ran after her, then stepping on it's head swiftly breaking its neck. Leon noticed this and nodded approvingly realizing that he wouldn't have to watch Sonya's back carefully how he expected, thankfully. There was a chainsaw. Fuck. The man grabbed Sonya's hand and rushed them to the barn. Leon looked around for anything that could ignite easily and burn all the Ganado.

"Leon what the hell are you looking for?" Sonya was fending off the Ganado, saying this as she stabbed one.

"Something that could explode there are too many of them!" he looked opened a barrel hoping to find some pertrolium or gas. Nothing.

"Keep looking!"

He was desperate, looking through a bail of hay. Leon scared a chicken and it laid an egg. Shaking his head and almost laughing he kept searching. Until, finding a grenade. Really? In a stack of hay? "Found something that'll work!" releasing the pin, he grabbed Sonya's hand as they jumped out the back of the barn window. The place was destroyed. Debres everywhere, and the smell of burnt flesh in the air.

"You okay?" Leon was holding Sonya's hips, then she looked down at his hands then back to him. The man realized this and let go of her awkwardly.

Sonya glanced at Leon, they stood in the center of the village, "That was a close one."

"It was." Leon ran fingers through his hair.

Church bells began to ring, as the rest of the Ganado left. It was like a scene directly out of a movie. As if they were being controlled.

"Were's everybody going?" Leon paused."Humph, bingo?"

Sonya put her knives back in their holsters. She placed her hands on her hips, "That was so cheesy." Oh the passive aspersion.

"But it was funny." Sonya just glared at Leon, she was stuck for him for how much longer.

It was finally over for now...
