A/N : Over a month and something this short? I'm sorry but I've been playing to much games (Mass Effect 2, BioShock 2 and Final Fantasy XIII) lately. That and school. Juniors! Don't be like me and wait for the last semester to look for collage! Bad, very bad! Don't slack off, and study hard.
Now anyone remember the characters from the first Resident Evil movie? I'm I the only one that thought Rain is too hot and awesome to die? I hope not. How about Rebecca Chambers? I really hope so because they appear in this chapter and will be used in later ones.
Chapter Two
"Their taking to long!"
"Rain calm down."
"They could be in danger."
"Most likely are." Claire scoffed, rolling her eyes and glancing at the red metal door. She smirked at Rain who continued to pace in the small safe room. "Why are you so worried? My girlfriend might die and I'm more calm than you." That was not true. Claire's hands was sweating and her heart beats harder ever minute. Still Claire was positive she kept that suggestive tone and face solid.
"Ugh. For the last time I'm not a lesbian." Rain rolled her eyes. Both Claire and Rebecca giggled at the disgusted face Rain shot. "I don't need to love someone like that to care about them." Claire smirked but didn't press it. Once again the safe room fell into silence, other than the occasional infected groan and throwing up.
"We need to bring cards." Rain stated.
"Agreed." Rebecca sighed.
"Naliyah! Where are you?" Claire asked through their ear piece. "Remember there is a time limit." She stressed, hand on her watch as it continued to tick. 1 hour and 42 minutes until evac.
"I know!" Naliyah answered. There was shooting, as expected. But Naliyah occasionally growled and snarled. "We're in the safe- OW- Laura you did that on purpose." Laura voice was but just a soft mutter before Naliyah growled again. She hissed, "In the safe house right before the subway. Laura's patching me up. You?"
"In the safe house that leads to the sewers."
"Shit." Jill's voice gasped through. Shooting, infected groaning, hissing and growling followed. "Guys we have a problem. There are monsters like in Raccoon. The Infected is getting thicker was we head to the hospital."
"You guys split up?" Laura asked, her voice accusing and angry. "Why?"
"Because you guys are injured." Jill answered harshly. "We're trying to clean up so you'll have an easier time but caught a glance of… something. Be careful. Something's wrong."
"Roger." Claire answered with Laura and Naliyah. With a brief 'Shhk' of static Claire knew Jill turned off her ear piece. "Hurry up okay?"
"We'd be moving a lot fast if Laura would stop staring at someone's ass."
"What?" Zoey's faint voice echoed into the twin's receivers.
"What?" Zoey repeated, eyes on Laura's guilty and sexy smirk. Her face burned a deeper read as she realized her own thoughts. She swallowed harder as Laura brushed her hair behind her ear to turn off the ear piece with her knuckle.
"I'm certainly not staring at his saggy old butt." Zoey stopped moving. Somewhere in her shocked mind she noticed her heart fluttered and Bill's annoyed grunt. "Cute." Laura sang, that smile growing even bigger. Zoey swallowed hard, turning around and just shooting at the zombies through the bars of the thick red door.
"Is it a good idea for you to be distracting her like that?" Louis asked. Zoey let out a relieved sigh, glancing back with a grateful smile at him. Louis smiled back but gave a harder look at Laura.
"Like I said before, it helps distract me from the pain so to some degree. So yes." Laura said with a smile. One with too much teeth and intense red eyes.
"I'll be sure to tell her that." Naliyah's voice interrupted. "Anything else before we head out?"
"Hurry your rotting asses!" Rain yelled into Claire's receiver.
"Figures you'd be staring. Over and Out." Naliyah nodded before tapping her ear piece on mute. She looked at Laura now wrapping her ankle in bandages. She hissed at the pain, gritting her teeth together as she finished. "Claire says stop flirting, it's distracting."
"I'll do it less." Laura nodded looking at her own bleeding hand then at Zoey. "Pain is a greater distraction."
"It won't matter if we don't hurry up ladies!" Bill nearly yelled. He marched up to Naliyah. "Can you walk?"
"I have a hole in my foot old man." Naliyah growled at him, "Of course I can't! I might look like this-" She pointed to her dead pale face, "But I'm still human… just not normal…" Zoey blinked, giving the twins a confused stare. They looked like zombies, kind of act like zombies, and have their same abilities as zombies. But their human? She shook the thought from her head when Bill continued to give orders.
"We need a way to get you moving faster." Bill looked at the people in the room. "Any ideas." All five of them looked at the other until they landed on Zoey's thoughtful face. "Zoey?"
"Well…" A faint image of a man climbing a ladder with another strap to his back shooting at a Predator came to mind. They looked like zombies, have the same abilities as zombies so would Laura have the insane strength as the Witch? "We could strap Naliyah to Laura's back like a baby. I saw it in an Alien vs. Predator movie or something."
"Oh –No, no, no." Naliyah shook her head furiously. "NO!"
In a few minutes Francis was smirking at Naliyah snarling face. "Oh, yes, yes. Yes!" He laughed.
"It's far more convenient this way." Laura tried to reason. "We both have our hands free, your watching the rear and we're moving at a fairly good pace." To make her point she jumped down the first flight of steps and the second. Zoey blinked Laura landing a few feet from her and landing gracefully even with a grown women on her back. "See?"
"Ugh. That hurts!" Naliyah groaned. rubbing her shoulders and thighs were the straps dug into her. When her eyes landed on Zoey she snarled and growled viciously. "Hrr!!"
"I'm telling Claire." Laura warned. Naliyah immediately stopped, snapping her head away from Zoey. Laura turned to Zoey and gave a beautiful smile. Zoey swallowed hard, trying to stop her mind from thinking how gorgeous Laura looked even with dead pale skin, or how lush her lips looked. The sexy smirk Laura gave as she talked… To her.
"Um, s-sorry. What?"
"Oh now I'd really like to kiss you."
Bang!
All three women jumped, heads snapping to the zombie then at Bill who held up his assault rifle. The old man now looked irritated. "Eyes on the zombies not on each other!" He barked, thrusting his pistol into Naliyah's gut.
"Yes, sir." Laura muttered softly, her pale cheeks blushing faintly as she turned forward.
They quickly fell into a new rhythm. Laura took a position several yards ahead of the survivor. She checked the areas out and shot the zombies before they noticed her. She'd check the area and turn to fast it look like she gave Naliyah whip lash several times. Naliyah of course would yell or hit Laura to remind her she was on her back. She also reminded Laura not to stray to far from them and did her job and constantly look behind the survivors and shot the few zombies that snuck up on them.
Zoey took note of their intense eyes. It would glow in dark areas like the zombies but still held intelligence. Laura looked like one of those actors in a movie. Body sweating with her hair becoming wilder and wilder with every turn and shot. Her serious face adding to a soldier's unique appeal.
"Zoey!" Louis whispered. Zoey jumped, glancing at the man beside her. She didn't noticed that herself and Francis switched positions. "Don't fall behind." He smiled.
"I won't." Zoey smiled back. With Laura killing off most of the zombies before they even notice them there was hardly any action. She continued to watch the soldier take them down before they even came close.
"So… What do you think of them?" Louis whispered.
"Well…" Zoey looked a bit harder, before checking their rear even if Naliyah is constantly doing that. "Their amazing, highly trained soldiers."
"That's it?" Louis raised a brow. Some how that voice sounded oddly relieved yet disappointed.
"What else could they be?"
"Aren't they a bit… um." Louis slowed down for a second. He quickly picked up the pace when he was done thinking. "A bit distracting? I mean you don't mind the flirting?"
"Oh!" Zoey blushed. She glanced at Laura again. Her eyes and body still moving like clockwork like it has been during the last minutes. "Um… It's distracting…."
"Do you lik-"
"You two!" Naliyah yell interrupted them. Her She was now almost 6 yards ahead and looking angry. "Get over here now!" Without a word Zoey ran, taking her usual spot by Bill. Naliyah gave a relieved sigh as they headed up the stairs and out of the tunnels. "Finally, no more trains, uneven ground and jumping." She rubbed the straps digging into her skin and gave Zoey an angry look.
"Not good." Laura muttered. Naliyah struggled to look behind her while. Zoey followed them into the room with two generator looking machines in the center.
"What's not good about this?" Francis asked. He gestured to the empty room. "No vampires."
"They aren't vampires or zombies!" Laura let out an irritated sigh as she walked further into the empty room. "They are people infected with a rabies like virus and the problem is this." She tapped the metal door, blocking their exit.
"The power not working?" Louis asked.
"You want to face zombies?" Laura raised a delicately trimmed brow at him. Louis shook his head no. "I think I can cut it open." She muttered tabbing the metal with her knuckle. She poked a finger through the metal. She pulled her hand back with a wince. "That hurt…"
"I guess we're pressing the button." Zoey muttered walking up to the said button that opens the gate.
"I hate buttons." Francis snorted.
"Get ready." Bill barked at him. Zoey glanced at the men. Louis and Francis was already heading to the small side room. Bill was pouring gasoline over the floor. "What are you doing?"
"Naliyah heard something." Laura voice's velvet voice answered. Zoey looked at the witch, the women staring into the hole she made. Naliyah looked tense her eyes closed but head constantly shifting around. "Infected Hunters don't have eyes so their other senses are greatly enhanced."
"So shut up." Naliyah growled. Zoey started to shake. She didn't like how serious Naliyah's face looked, even if she thought the look was gorgeous on Laura. "It's gone." Zoey gave a relieved sigh with she saw Laura shoulder drop in relief. "See anything?"
"Are you sure it's in there?"
"Positive."
"I-AAHH!" Zoey winced immediately covering her ears from that pricing witch scream. She saw a blur of silver and pink pushing Laura back. Her mouth fell open at the sight of an exposed brain, seemingly pulsing as large claws cut through the metal between itself and Laura like it was butter.
"Licker! Don't make a sound!" Laura screamed. Her eyes flickered at Zoey. Stern, hard, but also worried.
"Your crushing me!" Naliyah yelled from under her. Zoey saw blood dripping off her face as she snarled, trying to push herself up. "Roll to your left!" The twins moved in sync. Naliyah pushing while Laura threw her weight to the left. They threw the 'Licker' off, his body flying a few meters and then crashing into the ground. He jumped back, claws digging into the side of the wall as it screeched, long enough for Zoey to get a good look. It's brain was exposed. It had no skin, muscle visible and flexing. So red it looked like it was bleeding. It's heart was beating outside of it's body.
"Oh my…" Zoey felt like barfing. The creature had no eyes but it's head still snapped to her. Her eyes widen and she suddenly lost her breath. It's body shifted to pounce but was tackle harder to the wall by Laura and the metal sheet. Laura gasped for breath, head looking up at the silent creature.
"Can Licker's play dead?"
"Is it a Beta? Their hearts are exposed, maybe you crushed it." Naliyah whispered back. Laura moved back, the sheet falling to the ground with a loud thud and she kicked the creature over. Zoey looked away. A glimpse of that much blood and a crushed heart was good enough for her.
"Beta… All the screaming is going to draw attention. Let's move." Laura huffed jogging through the door. Naliyah looked sick, attached to Laura's back and bouncing around like a rag doll. A bleeding rag doll, blood still dripped down her head and face.
"Are you okay?" Zoey asked, catching up to the girl.
"Tired." Laura answered. "I'm strong but not as strong as Infected Witches."
"Um... What about your sister?"
"I feel light headed, sick and don't stand to close because I might puke."
"I'll take point." Bill said, jogging a bit to be in front of the twins. "Francis."
"Yeah. Yeah." Francis huffed. He pumped his shotgun.
