Author's Note: Ah, chapter four... you have been sitting in my external hard drive for quite some time now. It is time to finally get back on this Resident Evil 4 bus... That was sent off of the cliff in the first chapter... Hmmm, maybe not bus, but it is time to continue this story! I'm trying a little something new here though. As we saw with the last 3 chapters, they have all been in perspective of my character. In this chapter however, we will see things in the perspective of Karla. She is on her way to go ring the bell along with Alexis and a few other people. How will things turn out for them? I don't really know to be honest, I wrote this chapter a long time ago, so basically I get to read it along with you guys. Big Smiles here! Anyways lets see how well Karla's perspective turns out. Hope you enjoy!

Update: I thought I would add a little something. This just popped in my head as I started writing chapter 5! hope you like it.

Chapter 4

We Have to Ring that Bell

"Be careful" was the last thing I heard Mondo say before he closed the door behind us. I quickly locked the door before anyone else could try and open it. Right as I locked it, I heard a girl (or guy, you never know in these kinds of situations) scream. I quickly turned around and moved my way in front of our little group, but didn't see anything threatening, just a hunched over man in a long coat and a backpack. It was the merchant!

"Welcome!" he said in a very deep and dry voice. I lowered my gun since I knew that he was not a threat to us.

"Oh, hello there merchant!" I sounded really peppy, but this was the only way to assure everyone else that he was not here to hurt anyone.

"Wait, wait, wait just a minute!" I heard Adam speak up. "Just like that? Are you kidding me! Everyone outside is trying to kill us and this random ass guy is all of a sudden friendly?"

"YES!" sounding as chipper as can be. Adam and everyone else, except for Alexis, gave me a sign on disbelief.

"Ow...my...my head..." Adam put his hands on his head and walked away from me. I wonder what that is all about, I hope he doesn't slow us down.

"So, what do you have for sale?" I asked the merchant.

"Haha, first, do you have any money, stranger?" the merchants question caught me by surprise.

"Shhhhhhhhhoot" I tried not to curse. "I don't have any of those gold coins on me. What about any of you guys?" I asked my little ragtag group, but Alexis was the only one to walk up.

"What can we buy with this much?" Alexis held out a couple of coins in her hand.

"Haha, haha, HAHAHAHA!" He burst out laughing

"He, hehe, hahahaha" I lightly giggled, his laugh was really contagious to me only because no one else laughed.

"Why are you laughing?" Alexis asked me in a very serious tone.

"Hehehe, hehe...sorry." It seems that she is not very good at handling jokes.

"OH your funny stranger!" Alexis let out a loud sigh. "Tell ya what stranger, you can't buy anything with that little, but I'll give you a couple of rounds for your gun, on the HOUSE!"

"What's the catch?" Alexis asked suspiciously.

"No catch, stranger, I just haven't laughed that hard in a long time." He reached into his coat and pulled out a box that had bullets inside, about 20 rounds. "Enjoy them stranger and please have another joke ready for me the next time we meet." he winked at Alexis, which made her feel very uneasy, and headed through the only door that was in this house.

"What a creepy asshole" Alexis murmured.

"He gave us free bullets at least" I said trying to cheer her up.

"Okay, before we go any further can you two PLEASE tell us what is going on! What is this place we are going to? How is ringing a bell going to get us anywhere? Who the FUCK was that guy?" Adam sounded more aggravated with each question he asked.

"First, we are going to a church. Second, ringing the bell is going to attract the attention of the villagers to the church. Third, he is a merchant, we don't know much about him either, but we know that he is not here to hurt us." Alexis clarified. With that short explanation out of the way, everyone seemed to get where we were going and what we were gonna do.

"U-um guys, don't you think that we're using up a little too much time talking? I-I mean everyone else is still outside fighting..." Krystal said sounding polite.

"You're right." she was right and since I am the one with the gun, I guess I have to take point. "Alright guys, and girls, follow me!" I quickly kicked the door open, almost losing my balance in the process, silly me! I heard a small sigh come from Alexis as I regained my balance, must have been a sigh of relief that I didn't fall, she is quite nice actually. I quickly lifted the door to reveal the ladder that led down to a narrow tunnel. Once everyone was down, we had little time to spend taking care of all the enemies that were going to come after us.

"¡Agarrarlos!" Not sure what that meant, but I knew it wasn't good since it was behind us. A couple of villagers were blocking the narrow path. I stopped, stood my ground very briefly, and shot both of the villagers in the head. Those were very good shots, normally they take me a couple of seconds, but I guess I am getting better! GOOD JOB ME!

As we kept running, the villagers behind us sounded closer and closer because each time I had to stop and shoot the ones in front of us. When we reached a door at the end of the path, I told everyone to hold the door while I went up another ladder and made sure the coast was clear. One shot was all I needed to take out the lone villager waiting for me.

"Coast is clean! Run up here!" I yelled down the tunnel. Quickly one by one, everyone was climbing up the ladder. Once the last person was up, I slammed the door on the villagers in the tunnel. Now we were in a graveyard, but before we went any further I knew I had to reload my gun. I took out the clip, only to find that I had one bullet left. Lucky us or maybe because he had David with us! Our lucky charm. After a minute of reloading I was ready, we ran through the grave yard and arrived at the church, but I knew better than to try and open it.

"Hold on! I got this!" Adam yelled approaching the church door.

"The church is-" the noise of a foot kicking a door, but the door not budging, cut me off.

"AHHHHHHHH! SON OF A BITCH!"Adam yelled in pain. "Why didn't you say that the damn door was locked!"

"I was about too, but you just went on and tried to show off." I rolled my eyes at him. Anyways back on track. Behind the church is the key, but if I try and get it the gate will close, trapping me inside and basically making it all pointless. At the end of a small makeshift path along the side of the cliff is an item that I can put inside of that thing, but I don't remember who is guarding it. It was all coming back to me as if I was playing the game.

"Karla?" Alexis tapped me on the shoulder knocking me out of thought. "You do know how to get in right? Because I don't really remember this part..."

"I know there is an item we need at the end of this little path, but I'm not sure who is guarding it... All I remember is that it is something bad." I still couldn't seem to remember.

"What are you two waiting for?" Catherine spoke out. "Time is wasting, while everyone else is fighting!"

"Alright, alright" I tried calming her down. "We will just have to find out when we get there or at least I will." I sighed. As I went to the side of the cliff, I could see a small item on the ground shining off of the reflection of the sun. Without much thought, I ran to go get the item, but still keeping an eye out for any enemies that might come out at me. Once I reached the item, a small jewel, I looked at it and at that very moment it dawned on me who was suppose to be guarding it. OH SHI-

As if on cue, a chainsaw lady casually walked through the door that was in front of me. She looked into my eyes and stopped, I did the same. After a couple of seconds of staring she then looked at the item I had in my hand, with that she yelled "AHI ESTA!" That was my cue to get the hell out of there. With the sound of the chainsaw starting up, I looked behind me to find that villagers had walked through the same door that the chainsaw lady just came through. I quickly ran back to the group and told them to follow me to go get the key behind the church.

"Alexis do you remember the password?" I asked her.

"No! Do you?" She quickly said back

"Umm, not really..." Alexis and I were speechless for a moment.

"What did Kevin get us into" she muttered. "Well start guessing, we will try and do something. Guys follow me!" she ran out of the pathway behind the church to create a distraction

"Wait Vanessa!" I called out.

"What is it?" she replied about to run after Alexis.

"I want you to stay here and keep me look out." with a nod she stood against the wall and looked around to see what was happening. Meanwhile, I had to figure out the stupid password to get the key out. Okay, seven symbols and only three need to be lit. How they become lit, I don't know. Stop getting distracted! Anyways, the one at the 12 o'clock that looks like a slanted Z, the one at the 4 o'clock that looks like a weird M, and one one at the 5 o'clock that looks like a spiky V all need to be lit, I remember that much. Now I don't remember in what order-

"Karla!" Vanessa yelled, breaking me from my concentration. "The chainsaw lady is heading our way!" Oh carp! Umm... seven tries should get it and I can only move it three or four symbols around. Doesn't really make much sense, but what can I do? I entered my guesses, 3-3-4-3-4- crap that's wrong, 4-4-3-4-3- no wrong as well, 3-3-3-4-4-3- dam it I almost had it, last try 3-3-3-4-4-4- "KARLA!" She screamed, so much fear was heard from her voice it made me freeze before I moved it one more time.

"I fucked up..." I whispered to myself, frozen in fear. All I could hear was Vanessa scream for her life.

"NO! NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME! KARLA! HELP ME! AHHHHH-" her scream was cut off with loud gurgling and the revving of the chainsaw struggling to cut though something. I instantly knew that she was dead and it was my fault for taking our situation too lightly. With the chainsaw still revving behind me I didn't know what else to do. I lost control of my body and couldn't move out of fear. All I could do was close my eyes and wait. I just stood there as the sound got louder and louder, then I heard it roar as it was being swung at me.

"KARLA" someone yelled from behind me. Without thinking my body acted on its own and flung itself to the right, avoiding the chainsaw that was being brought down on me. The clash of the chainsaw on the key holder caused the little hatch to open and leave the key for the taking. I looked up to see the chainsaw lady was about to attack again, when Adam drop kicked her. She lost her balance and collapsed on the ground. "Hurry we have to get out of here!" he gave me a hand and I quickly got the key to get out of there. I saw the mess that was left off Vanessa and closed my eyes as I stepped on something that might have been hers. When Alexis saw Adam and I, she went towards the door and everyone else followed. I quickly unlocked the door and we all ran inside... only to find more enemies.

"DAMN IT! WHEN WILL THIS END!" Adam yelled, clearly frustrated that there are more people here then there were outside.

I snapped out of my frozen state because I knew I had to at least save everyone that is still alive. Serious, I need to be serious now. Concentrating all of my anger into aiming, I ran through the church, killing everything that was in my way. Eventually we made it to the second floor where we had another puzzle to solve in order to ring the bell.

"I got this." Alexis said putting a hand on my shoulder. It seems that she noticed that I changed a bit. With ease she solved the puzzle. Red symbol was turned three times, green symbol was turned once, and the blue symbol was turned twice. When she combined the symbols, gears turning could be heard and a gate to our right began to close slowly.

"Krystal!" I heard someone yell the gate closed. "Damn it open the gate!" It was Catherine and Krystal was stuck on the other side of the gate alone.

"I don't think we can" I told her. Catherine began to pound and kick the bars of the gate, but to no avail. She was definitely trapped.

"It's to late anyways, we have to get out of here before more of those villagers come!" Alexis stated. She was right we had to get out of here while the bell was ringing.

"I'm not leaving her behind!" Catherine looked furious at the thought of leaving her twin sister behind.

"Catherine, please... if there is nothing they can do then I have to stay." Krystal told her sister in a sad tone.

"You know I can't leave you here alone, who knows what is going to happen!" Catherine grabbed Krystal's hand.

"Please just go, I'll just hide in this room" Krystal took her hand back from Catherine and went inside of the room quietly.

"We need to go now!" Alexis yelled. As much as Catherine didn't want to, she had no other choice. At least Krystal had a room in which she could hide in. As the bell continued to ring, we all dropped down the little ledge and ran out of the the door. The villagers that were outside didn't pay attention to us, once we opened the door.

"We need to head towards that little hut in the corner." Alexis whispered to us. We cautiously made our way around the villagers. Once we made it, we had to wait for the rest of the villagers to get inside of the church. That was the only way to make sure the coast was clear. "Alright, I think it is time we got back with the main group."

"You guys better come back for my sister!" Catherine said menacingly.

"Don't worry we will" Alexis reassured her. "Now let's get back to the main group."

"Yea, I'll take point." I said, leaving the little hut first. All that was on my mind was making sure everyone was okay and hoping that Krystal was safe in that room. Kevin and Mondo may be able to handle themselves, but what about everyone else. I hope they are all okay as well...
