Sorry for taking a while to update, my week has been crazy. This chapter is a little short, but I'm already working on chapter 4. It will be way longer than this one, I promise!. Just wanna thank shipperwolf for getting me to do this. This chapter is dedicated to you, because I want some Chris/Alice action!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, even though I wish I did.

Aaand I need a Beta, pretty please?

Chapter 3

Alice headed for her room, but decided to head for the medical bay instead. Alice had to admit that Jill was a pain up the rear, but she was still a person. Opening the door to check on Jill, Alice felt her hand going stiff on the doorknob. She stood still for a few minutes before turning around and heading back the way she came. Alice pushed the door open and saw Claire reading some notes the previous captain had made. Claire looked up at Alice and frowned.

"You okay?" Alice gave a curt nod and stepped inside. "I don't remember anything." Alice said flatly. Claire cocked her head in a way that asked 'what the hell?' "What do you mean?" Alice leaned against the door. "I mean I don't remember anything. I don't remember how Jill got in the medical bay, how those helicopters got taken out. Nothing, I don't have anything on it." Alice felt a drumming in the back of her head, a sure signal that there was a rather annoying headache on the way.

Claire shifted in her seat. "Well, as soon as we saw the choppers, you told K-Mart and me to get them back inside. I got back when they already landed. Some of those soldiers had already stepped out when she got out. She walked like she owned the place. There were some words exchanged about being here to kill you, and take back command of Arcadia. You refused. She took out her gun and took a shot at K-Mart." Alice frowned and nodded, signaling Claire to continue.

"Things went kinda fuzzy then. It moved in slow motion. You fell to your knees and gave a very creepy yell, and somehow blood came from everywhere. From their eyes, their noses. Looked like their blood was spilling over. Then Jill took a shot at you, and you nearly killed her. Every bullet that she aimed at you, somehow found its way into her own body. If Chris didn't snap you out of it, she'd be dead." Alice looked down for a moment, nodded and turned to leave. "Her eyes were red. Just like Weskers." Alice froze. "What?" was all she could manage. "Her eyes were red. Wesker must have infected her with whatever thing he infected himself with. She was so close to death, and she just healed herself up within the hour. We've been sedating her. I don't know what it is that is wrong with her, but if it's going to endanger these people, I'll kill her myself." Alice opened the door and left. Silently walking to her room.

Alice pushed the door to her quarters open. Removing her gun holsters. Placing them neatly within reach of the bed. Pushing off her boots, Alice laid down on the mattress and closed her eyes. No more thinking. Sleep. She needed to sleep. She needed to see Carlos. Even if it meant dreaming him up, and talking to herself.

She was standing on a beach, wearing a cool summer dress that whipped at her calves as the wind crept closer. Breathing fresh air, she smiled. The smell of the ocean certainly was intoxicating. A hand encircled her waist, and she felt content as he kissed her neck and whispered into her ear. "Alice, you know you can't stay here forever." Alice turned to face Carlos. He flashed a smile, that smile that made you smile. The smile you smile about when you think about that smile. "I'm dreaming again, aren't I?" Carlos grinned and pulled her closer. "Then it's a good dream." He whispered into her ear. Alice felt happy, relaxed even. "Yeah, pretty good dream." He still smelled the same. He smelled manly, and like cinnamon, fresh grass and death. "I miss you." Carlos smiled at her confession.

"I know you do. But you didn't come here to tell me that did you?" Alice shook her head. "I think it's coming back. Those things. Powers. I think it's coming back. And it scares me. I don't want it back. I want to be human, just a little bit." Alice felt the grip Carlos had on her waist tighten. "It's not that bad. You helped us. Those powers don't make you any less human, it just makes you a little more…a little advanced. Like an athlete that has a head start." Alice craned her neck to look at Carlos. "I really miss you." Alice pressed her lips to his.

'The light is on. Why is the light on?' Alice opened her eyes to see Chris leaning over her. His lips against hers. Her hand had a fist full of his shirt in it. His lips here against hers..

Right, now comes the fun part *my fun part anyway*. Please review. Give me a few suggestions, or smack me on the head if it's getting boring. :D
